You were signing some documents as you sat in your office, it wasn't anything hard
You were just signing them, not bothering to look at it, as you wanted to finish quickly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh finally, the last document, I can finally rest now." You said as you put away the documents, suddenly, there was a knock on your door
"Miss/Mr, [Name] , I came here to collect the documents you signed." Your assistant, Akane said as she came to collect your documents.
"Thank you Akane, could you bring me a cup of [Hot Beverage]"
"Of course, Miss/Mr. [Name], Hehe, signing all these documents must've been tiring huh?" Akane said with a giggle.
"Yeah.." You replied with a sigh, kind of annoyed because you wanted to drink [Hot Beverage] as soon as possible.
"Oh my, I must get going know, I'll bring you your [Hot Beverage] soon."
'Finally' you thought as she left quickly, you checked your phone to see a dozen of missed calls and messages, whoops.
Nakahara Chuuya
[Name] are you there??
Yes, I am, what's the matter?
Boss requested to see you... An hour ago..
Oh shi*t..
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You were really fucked now, you mumbled curses as you dashed out of your office, bumping into Akane in the way.
You let out a quick apology and continued running.
Surprisingly you got there less than 6 minutes later, which is kinda impressive because the distance from your office and the bosses office is really far.
You cautiously knocked on the door
"Come in."
As you opened the door there was the boss, Mori Ougai in all his glory, sitting in the chair behind the desk, his 'Daughter' Elise on the floor beside him, drawing with crayons.
"You requested to see me, boss?"
"Yes, an hour ago actually." Oh shit
"I deeply apologize for my behavior, boss"
"Hm, I guess I could let it slide this time, don't make this mistake again."
"Understood, boss." You sighed in relief.
"Anyways I have a mission for you.
this mission is..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As you walked out of the office you thought of the mission he just gave you, you had to go undercover as a detective in the armed detective agency, gain their trust and steal the documents that are important to him.
The only reason why he chose you is because neither Dazai nor Yosano knew who you where, otherwise he would've picked someone else.
As you were walking you spotted Chuuya and walked over to him.
"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"
"Gah! You scared me you bastard.. What do you want? Did you get a mission from boss?"
"I did actually."
~ After explaining the mission ~
"YOU HAVE TO WHAT?!"
"Tsk, could you quiet down, I don't want the whole world to hear you."
After he calmed down he asked you
"But why you? Why couldn't he pick Me or someone else?"
"It's because Dazai knows who you are Chuuya."
"I get it, but why not someone else like Tachihara?!"
"The black Lizard raided the agency, remember? He was there."
He nodded in realisation, then asked again
"Do you want to drink some wine? My treat."
And how could you say no to that?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter one of this is over, I'll post chapter two tomorrow, I know I should have picked wattpad or something else to write chapters, but I chose Tumblr. Also, who do you want your love interest to be?
[Reader] is gender neutral, Akane is my Oc btw, she's not a love interest :)
MORI VS GENTOR WHO WINS THIS MOST HATED CHARACTER FIGHT
once, someone (he doesn't even remember who), between their unnecessarily praising speech to mori, mentioned how much his bandaged executive and him are similar. dazai was zoned out the whole speech so this small, unconsidered statement felt like a punch in the gut and suddenly he became extremely nauseous. they went on with their nonsense, mori listened with a polite smile on his face and all dazai could focus on was suppressing his urge to puke right into the speakers mouth, all over this huge room of mori's and finally on mori himself. he visualized in his head how his vomit will choke the speaker and how it'll pour from mori's hair. the smell would be awful.
later on, he stared at his distorted reflection on a puddle. a breeze lifted his coat, he smiled slightly and a few seconds later he was bent over to empty his whole stomach. he never had to vocalize it because he already knew. but how come others realize it too? he felt himself full of something sticky and poisonous, melting everything inside him and re-shaping them. he swears if he were to scratch and scrape his skin until it bleeds he'll find him there. was it always that obvious? at some nights he dreams himself on top of mori's dead body; his neck sliced open with a lancet. but deep down he knows there won't be any difference. it's too late, mori could die, disappear even; he has already injected all his venom into dazai's veins.
and dazai could see himself taking the syringe from mori's hands, just to poison another soul, just to melt them completely and destroy what they had of a person once. he knew all of these.
but still, he never got used to hear them from others.
Familyyy
Mori: Fukuzawa... I made us a kid, so you can't leave me now
Fukuzawa: I already have a kid with Genichiro...
Fydor: Yukichi Fukuzawa, where have you buried all your employees? Tell me so I say
G'enchiro Fukuchi, Where have you buried all your dogs? Tell me so I say
Talking about the past of Fukuchi during the war: All the lives that you've stolen
Split in half, now bum and broken
Like your heart that was so eager to be hid
Talking about Mori, Dazai and Kyoka: He can't keep them all caged
They will fight and run away
Dazai and Kyoka to Mori: Mori, tell us so we say
Fydor: G'enchiro Fukuchi, where have you buried all your dogs? Tell me so I say
Fydor: Fukuzawa yukichi, Where have you buried all your employees? Tell me so I say
Fydor talking about Fukuzawa past as an assassin: Forest walls and starry ceilings
Barren memories that you're weaving
Like the fears that you keep inside your head
Talking about the agency: You can't keep them all safe
Talking about Kunikida, Tanizaki, Kenji and Atsushi: They will die and be afraid
Ranpo: Father, tell me so I say
The agency:(President, tell us so we say)
Fukuzawa: Amenogozen, where have you buried all my employees? Tell me so I say
Fydor Dostoevsky, where have you buried all my employees? Tell me, so I say
Amenogozen, where have you buried all my children? Tell me so I say
Fydor Dostoevsky, where have you buried all my children? Tell me, so I say
The agency: (Tell us, so we say!)
Fydor : you can't keep them all safe
They'll be far and fly away
The agency: President, tell us you will stay
We'll be far and fly away
I wanted so bad to do an animation with this song for the latest chapter, but I suck at drawing.
Anyway, I just didn't expect how the chapter went, but I it makes me scared.
Fukuzawa and Mori switched places?
Imagine after Natsume pairs Mori and Fukuzawa up for his plan Fukuzawa finds out about Mori’s plans to kill the current Port Mafia boss.
Imagine Fukuzawa beats him to it and kills the boss first in the hopes that he can at least make the PM into a lesser evil.
Imagine Mori founds the Armed Detective Agency to stay on the tail of the PM and hopefully get Fukuzawa arrested or at the very least force him out of the boss position…

“Hey, so Dazai is actually a very well written character that was abused and only knew that for a very long time, but he's genuinely trying to get better, no matter how hard you deny it, he's truly trying to be a better person! He's an abuser but was an an abused, and not acknowledging his trauma isn't cool!”
Dazai's hater : NAUUUURRR ‼️‼️ H-H-H-H-H-H-E ABUSED MY BABY AKUTAGAWA ‼️‼️‼️‼️
That is actually very disgusting, tbh. Not acknowledging Dazai's trauma just to paint him as the bad guy and painting Aku as the good guy, ignoring he also abused Kyoka.
Dazai is not the greatest guy, it's true. And his actions are obvi bad. And I'm not justifying his actions. I'm saying as it was : HE WAS A GODDAMN CHILD. He was also trapped in an abuse web. He's not the only abuser. Mori is, then comes Dazai, and finally Akutagawa. Only counting Dazai as the bad guy is down right disgusting. He's TRYING his best. You can dislike him. You can hate him. But denying his trauma is not something that should be done. It's disgusting. It's inhuman.
I kinda understand why Mori is so obsessed with Dazai being in the mafia. I mean, if we forgot abt the fact that he's called the Demon Prodigy, and is a genius, there's also something extremely interesting, and useful for Mori : His ability, No Longer Human.
You remember in Yosano's flashbacks, where Mori explained that powers were the new weapons. He said that the samurai disappeared because they did not understand that the era of the sword was over. And that the nations that won were those that managed to transform a simple cannon into a war machine. And today, superpowers lead the way. And that she had to force the hierarchy to open their eyes. Power are the new war machines. Powers are important. They're a part of our society. Yet, a random boy arrives, and erases it. This whole hierarchy. All these powers. He can delete it. He can take away your only means of defending yourself, of knowing, of fighting, he takes away a part of you. For years, people have controlled their power, and a kid not even 15 years old comes along and decides to take that away from you. As long as he's here, as long as you have any physical contact with him, your power won't work. A part of you won't work. As long as he has any contact with your ability, you won't have it. And that's scary. A man, a genius, a demon, is capable of deleting a part of you.
Like, imagine you're an adult, who managed to excel in their power. You are at the top of the hierarchy. And then, a random man erases it. You are now at your lowest. You're trapped. Especially if you based your attacks on your power, you're done.
Dazai arrives to unbalance the hierarchy. His power isn't for fighting. Your power is stronger than him. Yet, he manages to unbalance everything, what you have known, the hierarchy… It's scary af.

Headcanon about one of my favourite duos : Kunikida and Dazai!
1- Kunikida makes Dazai's lunch and makes little notes in it
2- Dazai braid Kunikida's hair
3- Once Kunikida cried because he thought Dazai died and when Dazai came back Kunikida slapped him, hugged him but he was like "I didn't miss you but let me hug you"
4- Kunikida has written for his type of woman "is not Dazai" when he realised Dazai fit almost everything Kunikida wrote.
5- Dazai is born some mouths before Kunikida, so when Dazai pass his birthday, every question Kunikida ask (even the one who are like "where's the water?"), Dazai answer "You're too young to know"
6- Dazai tells every little drama to Kunikida each time he hears one
7- Kunikida always praises Dazai when he does something, like taking a bath, eating or just taking care of himself.
8- Kunikida is Dazai's n°1 hater but defender at the same time
9- Kunikida always remind Dazai to change his bandages
10- Dazai gasped and was frozen the first time Kunikida was sweet and not grumpy
11- Dazai learns new insults from Kunikida almost every week
12- Kunikida teach maths to Dazai, because Dazai never went to school
13- Kunikida hates Mori with a burning passion
14- Dazai never told Kunikida he was a mafioso because he was scared that Kunikida will hate him.
15- Dazai kinda changed his points of view since he's with Kunikida. I mean, before, Dazai didn't care how many deaths he caused if it didn't affect him (he wasn't heartless just he didn't feel concerned). But now it's different. He learned to be more empathetic since he's with Kunikida
16- Kunikida made Dazai promises to kill him if Kunikida change how he is. If Kunikida commits murders for his own pleasure and that there's no way to bring the old Kunikida back, Dazai will kill him.
17- Also, Dazai trust Kunikida a lot. He already did certain actions because Kunikida told him to do them, and he knew they weren't going to be bad actions
18- Kunikida always knows when Dazai is bad. Like, Dazai is a genius and all, but Kunikida always asks "Are you okay?" When Dazai doesn't feel great. Kunikida may well not ask how Dazai is doing for days, but when Dazai is really not well, he asks him. He has an instinct.
19- When Dazai is drunk, Kunikida watches Dazai's drink and holds it. And when Kunikida thinks Dazai drank enough, and he refuses to let him drink.
20- Dazai once got into a fight because someone was talking shit about Kunikida. Dazai threatened him to torture him until death if he talk bad about Kunikida again. Kunikida dragged Dazai away to not make it worse…
⚠️ BSD spoilers. Season 4-5⚠️
Asagiri, plz, if Dazai is chosen for the port mafia, make Kunikida sad and worried. Make him fight to get Dazai back. I miss their duo so much. I really want Dazai to feel that he's missed by people. Kunikida isn't even aware that one of the detectives will go to the port mafia, he was at the hospital at that time. I want when Kunikida learns that Dazai is gone, I want him to scream, to scream for the first time against all the detectives, even the most respected one. I want him to go get Dazai even if Fukuzawa forbade him. Why? Why would Kunikida do that ? Because in his ideal, no one suffers. I wish Ranpo would tell him about Dazai's suffering, I would like Kunikida to stand in Mori's way. Because he won't let Dazai get hurt by anyone. Dazai will finally feel like he has a place somewhere. Someone is waiting for him. That he has his place in the agency. Even if I want the whole agency to be worried, I would like Kunikida to be the major character to be concerned abt Dazai. And maybe we'll learn more abt Kunikida's backstory.
I WANT THE KUNIZAI DUO BACK, PLATONIC OR ROMANTIC IDC
"Imagine Mori chose Fukuzawa" bro I am imagining.
1 - I really want Atsushi and Fukuzawa to be separated, I don't care much which one goes to the PM, I just wanna see Atsushi suffer again because he can't control the tiger as well without Fukuzawa's influence (but maybe there is some progress!)
2 - Mori just. Trying to get his ex back
3 - ohohoh president Kunikida
Ooh, president Kunikida seems good. I actually can imagine Kunikida being the president and trying to get Fukuzawa back.
Bro imagine Mori choose Fukuzawa 🤨
⚠️ Spoiler BSD : Season 4-5 ⚠️
So huh basically I was thinking about who will be taken in the port mafia. And I know it may sound weird or anything but this can be Ranpo. I know that he will refuse working with the port mafia, but Fukuzawa never said "Don't take Ranpo". Mori has the right to take Ranpo away, and Fukuzawa couldn't have a word to say, and since Ranpo obey to what Fukuzawa told him (most of the times…)
First, Ranpo is the pillar of the agency, one of the main reasons why it is still standing. The mafia is the enemy of the ADA, what could be better than taking the pillar and the very reason for its success for yourself ? Firstly, his intelligence can be used in the mafia, but also his experience in the ADA. He was the first person to work there with Fukuzawa. The mafia may also very well threaten Ranpo to cooperate (like threatening to harm Yosano, Fukuzawa or anyone). This will be destabilizing for the ADA, and will only help the situation of the mafia.
Those are my 3 AM thoughts…
˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚
Making a BSD characters (without drawing bc I suck at it) based on real authors : Victor Hugo !
I NEED him in bsd. He fought for human rights, for the abolition of the death penalty, for poor people, for children who were forced to work young, for women and single moms (who were treated as h0es if their husband left them)… He stood up to the king and wasn't afraid to say it. He even asked for a painter to represent Napoleon (the king) as a fearful bird fleeing from Victor Hugo.
- Victor Hugo would join the ADA, and this is for sure. But first, he won't be a very nice person… Not necessarily in the port mafia, but probably in some things as bad. Because before being so kind and courageous, Victor Hugo was far-right, so he agreed with what Napoleon said. But he changed and he became a nicer person, and he helped many people.
- In the BSD universe, Victor changed after seeing someone dying in front of him. A little boy named Gavroche (Gavroche is a little boy in one of his books). Gavroche was singing the song "It's Voltaire's fault", before dying. It was something that changed the way Victor saw things, and he decided that no one deserved this. (This is not how the IRL Victor Hugo changed)
- He's someone very brave and courageous. He's not scared of dying or whatever.
- He will be in his twenties
- He will try to teach Kyoka and Atsushi things. Like maths, science ect. The IRL Victor Hugo wanted the education to be free, so it won't be surprising if he teaches kids that couldn't have access to school/education.
- He always hums the song Gavroche sang before he died.
- He will TOTALLY be against Mori, he will hate him for sure. He can't support these types of people.
- He will be serious and calm, but he will always have a gentle smile on his face.
- He will, randomly, buy things for the people in need (food, drink ect…)
- He will love creating little stories in his head, and he will share them with Ranpo and Yosano.
- His ability would be "Wretched" (One of his most famous books.) This will allow him to curse someone. (Because the people in this book have very very bad life. Jean Valjean, Fantine… They're not cursed, but it felt like they were.)
- He will get along with Kunikida and Fukuzawa
- Victor will remind Dazai of Oda
- He will totally be called bby by the fandom-
- His birthday is the 26th of February
-“Life is just one long loss of everything you love.”
- He will make a lot of effort to be forgiven about his past. He, himself, is ashamed of himself for what he has done.
- He's for human's right.
- He will drink coffee in the morning because he's not a morning person.
I'll think I'll do more later about other authors I want in BSD, because there are a lot of them that I want.
Anyways, bye bye

*after Dazai left PM*
Mori: hello, Dazai-kun, this is just too much. Come back to your job RIGHT NOW
Dazai: I am sorry! The old Dazai can't come to the phone right now
Mori: why???!!
Dazai: why?
Dazai: oh.....cuz he's dead. *cuts the phone*
Mori: why is the little menace so dramatic?
Mori: I guess he will come back when he is out of money and hungry...
Ps: he never came back
There is so much to break down here holy shit
First off, I like how Fukuzawa and Mori are the only one fully on different sides here, I think of all the generations of skk they are the ones who simply and truly hate eachother. Everything about them is antithetical, they represent the complete opposite values.
skk here is also interesting, look at chuuyas expression, he has his typical "I hate being here but i have no choice" look that he had as the king of sheep. And Dazai literally leaning over him is pretty spot on for how we see their partnership play out for most of their time in the mafia.
sskk being back to back here I think actually shows their trust in eachother now, Fyodor being a present threat and both of them wathcing eachothers back. There's also the fact that Atsushi is looking up while Akutagawa is looking straight ahead
I hope Verlaine, Kouyou, and Mori are quarantining from the vampirism in Verlaine's depression hovel right now. I hope they're having the worst sleepover imaginable. If Mori uses Verlaine's electric kettle to boil fruit one more time, Verlaine is going to gut him like a fish. Kouyou and Verlaine ran out of slurs to call each other so Kouyou is making prolonged eye contact while systemically picking apart his rattan chair with her tantō. Verlaine has strangled Elise into dissipating four times.
Every time Chuuya calls to check on them, they act SO casual and unaffected. Verlaine is knitting Chuuya a hat from the hair Mori keeps stress shedding.
Bsd sketches tiiiiime!

Mori and Elise -w-
In Defense of the Misunderstood Hero, Mori Ougai
I’m sure many would raise eyebrows when they read the title because, Mori? A hero?
Many people portrayed Mori as a sadistic devil, but in no canon situation has Mori ever shown any sadistic tendency (like Dazai has). In fact, I’d say he’s the reverse of that. He took care of Elise very well, despite/even though she’s his own ability. He never once has hurt people for the sake of hurting people.
In fact whenever he didn’t have any business to take care of, his true personality shone through and it was not of a cold, heartless man with no conscience. Rather it was one full of dorkiness and gentle patience. Here, he even contacted Ango (who was sweating bullet because holy shit he’s being called by the fucking boss of Port Mafia) just to ask what color of dress will fit Elise more.
(For the love of anything holy I’ve scoured Ango and Oda’s tag in tumblr yet I can’t find it. It’s the extra DVD comic featuring Buraiha trio drinking and talking shit about Mori. In exchange, have these dorky dad and son interacting;
First thing first, I will give you what I think is the most important fact about Mori. Look at his line in this scene
Now this is his true nature; his main motivation for doing everything he did. The good of the organization.
At no point has Mori’s action ever benefit only himself. At every instance he appeared in the story, he’s doing something for the Mafia and for Yokohama. The only self-centered thing he has ever done was asking Elise to wear what he wanted her to wear and that’s moot point anyway since she’s his Ability and presumably modeled after his ‘ideal’ little girl.
In this scene, he saved four members of ADA and even gave Atsushi an important lesson. Why would he do such a thing when he could literally immobilize Anne and Lucy by bloodlust alone? He could have let her take Tanizaki and Atsushi, then pressure her to let him out with his memory intact. Not to mention that his Ability, Elise, was waiting just outside, standing by ready to break him out any time.
If he does this, not only he will go free with the memory of the attack and thus the secret of Anne’s Room, he would also take care of not one but three ADA agents. Rather, he chose to save all of them plus every single person Anne has swallowed in the Dark Room.
Now here;
This is the scene where he took over as boss. The fact that the Old Boss was bedridden and hallucinating while seemingly so thin, also from the way he was narrated by Hirostu in episode 21, implicate that his condition was something he contracted at a long period of time rather than it being something sudden.
Notice the circumstance in which he did it. Mori only killed the boss after he issued the order that would bring destruction not only to the Mafia but also to the city and nation at large, killing many people whether criminal or innocent. He didn’t do it before even though he could have.
By becoming the biggest bad of the bad, he resolved himself to take care of the light from the shadows. And this is important because if he hadn’t stepped in at that time either the Old Boss would have burnt Yokohama down or another heinous criminal would have taken over and brings the nation down with them.
He is protecting Yokohama by not letting people worse than him to take control of its biggest criminal organization. Notice what Kouyou think about him;
She supported him because of this too. She knew what it felt like to under one of those leaders that cared only for money and power like the Old Boss. Kouyou will not support people if all they brought with them was suffering and death the way she was forced to feel when her dearest was taken away from her. Under Mori’s reign, our queen Kouyou pledge her loyalty not to him but the kinder way he brought.
It can also be seen in this scene.
Mori could have taken effort to keep Kouyou there, but his tone and body language are open. He knew that Kouyou can go anytime and he’s not fighting to keep her there; Kouyou decided to stay on her own free will and he is appreciative of knowing he had a single ally he can absolutely trust on who also knew of his true motivation.
In this scene
It was made clear that he respect the Old Boss, so much that the death of a hundred subordinate made him embarrassed. He’s not upset that he lost some underlings, he’s upset that he lost them without a good reason to justify their death. A miscalculation has taken a hundred of his soldiers.
And you might think his reaction to this is rather cold, but remember that all of them were members of the mafia. All of them are criminals who would be executed if they fall into the hands of the police and they also knew what they’re getting into when they joined the Organization.
You can probably say what he did to Odasaku was horrible, sure. But it was expected for the boss of the Mafia to do so. (further reading for this topic)
But you have to admit it was a stroke of utter genius. With the gifted Business Permit and no longer fearing the government, Mori would be freer to take down opposing criminal organization that might bother the peace. Rather, he focused the Mafia to expanding its power and outwardly he did so, like this there will be very little chance for either a rebellion or an enemy organization attacking them in their HQ. This would also mean less threat to Yokohama.
Fukuzawa’s remark in this was absolutely true. Not only between the two organization but also for him and Mori specifically. Mori loved Yokohama, enough to dip into the darkest of dark to protect it. And Fukuzawa knew it too because look at his line here
In this, it can be said that he didn’t want a war to break in Yokohama that might disturb its peace. But then why say ‘balance’?
This is because Fukuzawa knew the extent of his subordinate’s strength also that they will be able to kill Mori if they go all out. This is what he feared the most. While if he died, the Agency can be well-taken care of in Kunikida’s hand, once Mori’s dead there’s no one to reign in the Port Mafia and keep it from wreaking havoc, thus destroying the balance of Yokohama city into what it was before; the Dragon Head Rush. (you might want to read the novel of dark era to really grasp the situation. But basically it was a gang war that led to many victims including the families of Odasaku’s orphans)
More than that, the people who might succeed Mori would not be as kind as him. They might do what the Old Boss did and try to burn Yokohama down.
And this, I think, is also the main reason why Mori sent Dazai away from the Mafia. It is, of course, easy to assume what Dazai remarked about Mori’s intention in chapter 30/episode 21 to be the truth; that he did it to remove a threat to his position.
But is this the whole story?
The fact that he kept Dazai’s spot empty rather than choosing someone else to fill it was a paradox if you were to look at him from the angle of a man hungry for power. He has anticipated Dazai’s return, was so sure of it in fact that he sacrificed monetary and workload gains of having another Executive. If he wanted Dazai back in the first place, then why drive him out of the Mafia and into the ADA?
For now, imagine what would have happened if Dazai took over as the Boss if he’s still the same man he was before Oda’s death. Cruel, ruthless and uncaring for people’s life as he was, he would have gone into the same track as the Old Boss and destroys Yokohama as his mental health eroded. Not even Odasaku would be able to save him from himself at this point.
This is also why he asked Dazai back to the Mafia after taking such extreme methods to drive him out. Of course there are another reason, that is he needed his right hand back to drive out the Guild as he remarked.
But the main reason why he asked back after all this time was because there are people in ADA who have taught him about having something worth loving and worth protecting.
Mori felt that Dazai has learnt enough about the light and why it is something worth protecting. With it, when Dazai inevitably take his seat as the Boss of Port Mafia, Dazai would be able to follow his legacy as the Darth Vader of Bungou Stray Dogs and The Dark Knight of Yokohama. This is Mori’s special way of grooming Dazai to become his successor.
All this was so Dazai can be his successor and not the Old Boss’.
Conclusion for those who are too lazy to read 2000+ words of Mori being awesome: no, Mori is not an evil incarnate born to manipulate everyone to his own amusement.
If anything, he’s the greatest hero of the story. The same way the ADA is protecting the city and Japan from the light, Mori is protecting it from the shadows. With the balance that has been made between him and Fukuzawa, it is imperative that he keep doing what he did, or the balance will fall and Yokohama condemned into a lake of fire.
Asagiri Kafka is truly an exceptional writer. They made Mori into this all-bad boss of the Mafia while slipping in his real face every so often. Here is the author who made every character complex and with their own motivation. What made you think they’ll make the ‘villain’ as simple as a man existing just to be a villain?
Even Fitzgerald and Fyodor got development and reasoning for doing what they did, but the difference is they’re arc-villain and not whole story-villain like Mori. Their reign will be over with their arc, but Mori’s will live as long as BSD continues, so it’s imperative that they got their development and exposition early on so the readers can sympathize with them.
Thus I concluded my exposition of the anti-hero that has been protecting Yokohama all this time not by bathing in sunlight but by submerging himself in blood yet capable of keeping his head out of it depth; Mori Ougai.
Here's a little treat for you guys.🤭
(THESE ARE ROUGH TRANSLATIONS NOT ALL ARE ACCURATE OR CORRECT)
Felt like doing some Fukumori this time around.
title:遠吠えのゆくえ
circle:HASHI
author:ようじ
(P.s. There are grammar errors in this since I did it really fast.)
I feel like I need one more to complete the collection of Fukumori dj's I have. 🤔
Got my new Fukumori doujinshi's in today and got a few more coming in as well. Snatching them up as I see them!
