It was emotional/psychological abuse and manipulation but not physical or sexual abuse. The problem with this fandom is that they think abuse has to be physical or sexual to be harmful and traumatizing enough and that psychological abuse isn't as impactful compared to the latter. Which is a problem, it is also leads to painful mischaracterization of Mori, making him a lot more crueler and morally black than he is which is unfortunate.
I think the problem with Mori becomes that people tend to generalize him as this ultimate evil abuser. So they make him a sexual predator and a torture technician on top of his manipulative behaviour who got a kick out of hurting and maiming kids and justified it with a higher purpose/search for knowledge *cough*Shibusawa&N*cough*.
However Mori isn't some ultimate evil abuser. He is an extremely complicated character and not once is it actually mentioned or even implied that he is sexually attracted to children. However, Mori was infact physically abusive towards Yosano, less in the sense of beating her but rather using physical force to intimidate her.
He isn't a good person. But he also wasnt going around smacking kids across the room like some mustache twirling puppy kicking supervillain.
I know u guys r prob getting sick of me, a fandom blog, spewing doom n gloom but it is so incredibly important for your safety and others to be informed right now. trump wants to own the gaza strip and for Palestinians ‘to find somewhere else to live’. the first migrants have officially been sent to guantanamo bay. the us made a deal w el salvador to deport american criminals to their prison system. the cia has offered a buy out to “trumpify” the organization. we have left the paris climate agreement. elon musk has access to national security details including the treasury. gotten rid of dei and put pressure on corporations to do the same. wants to get rid of the dept of education, osha, federal aid, etc. has tried (and failed) to impose tariffs on our countries long time allies. and this is just name a few. but don’t worry in the fascist racist rapist felon with billionaires backing him and their interests def got this 🙏🏼
Doodles of this loser
Excerpt from the Storm Bringer stage play (official translation)
I've been seeing a lot of love for embarrassing teenager Dazai recently, so let me share the fantastic depiction of this scene in the stage play!
I think it's mean how some people talk about fics on AO3.
'Oh you gotta wade through literal trash to find the good stuff'.
Were you not a beginner once? Did you not write crack fic or self indulgent things for your own entertainment?
Maybe don't speak that way about your fellow fic writers? Just because some fics aren't as polished as others, or involve fetishes and tropes you don't enjoy, or are not the style you want your fics to be doesn't mean they're trash.
It's a horrible thing to say and beginners are going to be discouraged from writing knowing that their fics might be considered trash because they're just starting out.
Chuuya needs a hug.
I think it speaks to something innate about humanity and the societies that exist in BSD, honestly. (And by extension our own world kind of.)
The ultimate goal is power, no matter its cost. Even if that means ruining and ending lives. Even if that means destroying a person’s chance at ever getting to know peace. Even if it comes at the expense of the world itself.
Those that have something that can be used shall be used. Their human attributes and personality just needs to be thrown away first.
But that’s the thing about ability users in BSD, you can never fully separate their humanity from them. No matter what is done, they prove their humanity time and time again, even if they themselves don’t realize it.
Those in power will always fail to use you if you keep sight of your humanity. That’s what separates you from them.
Something something, Mori's immortal army plan and all the trauma it created, being a way for him to prove ability users are useful and worth keeping around.
The hunting dog's being turned into killing machines and routinely undergoing surgeries just to survive it. They are heroes but it's at the cost of their freedom and peace.
The only creations made by ability users that history deems worthy being weapons like Amenogozen and the One Order.
Child ability users like Chuuya, Kyouka and Teruko being stolen away from their family and treated as less than human because they would make a better weapon.
Children like Atsushi and Yumeno being abused and made to hate themselves all because they have an ability.
Ability users bodies being turned into weapons even after death, like the Holy Sword, the Old Boss, Shibusawa and Fukuchi.
Ability users like Sigma, Bram and Mushitaro being used like tools by organizations because of their abilities.
Combative abilities like Demon Snow being passed down the bloodline forcing children to grow into weapons.
Something about ability users being dehumanized and used by non-ability users for years and years, yet they are the ones villainized for being what they were forced to be, every time.
Something about Fyodor having lived to witness all of this and all that came before. Internalizing that resentment towards ability users, perhaps having been the victim of it at least once, and deciding that the only way the evil will stop is if ability users didn't exist.
Chuuya did in fact have a big ass sword.
(head)canon that kunikida is the only one who carries a gun with him. headcanon its because kyouka isn't interested in killing. yosano thinks her giant knives are better. kenji is far too young. atsushi isn't trained. fukuzawa strictly uses his katana. and finally. dazai, tanizaki, and rampo are banned from guns because they would shoot anyone who inconveniences/annoys them.
ive found that partially treated mental illness can sometimes look to uninvolved onlookers like faked mental illness.
they/them (I am a minor!!) Welcome to my personal blog where I mostly yap about BSD right now… I also like writing, world building, and media analysis tho!
