Mori : I need you to do that.

Dazai : Odasaku said I shouldn't.

Mori : If he told you to jump off a cliff, would?

Dazai : Bold of you to assume I need someone to tell me to kill myself

“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 have a very sad hc but HEAR ME OUT

Okay so I saw a post that spoke about how Dazai didn't show any emotions when Mori killed the former boss right in front of him. Dazai was a child. Seeing a murder for the first time and… Nothing. No expression. Just acceptance. As if his body is here but not his mind. He's dissociating.

Look at that look. He's not focused. He's just looking at whatever is happening.

So what if it happens each time he commits a crime? What if each time he kills someone, he's not fully realising his actions and only realizes it later, but it doesn't hit him so hard because it happened slowly.

Well, I headcanon that one time, Dazai killed a bunch of innocent civilians for X or Y reasons. Mori told him to. So he did it. But he usually didn't kill innocent people. Usually it's the mafia's ennemis. So the realisation hit him right as everyone's already dead. He's there, surrounded by corpses. He's the reason they're dead. His hands is covered in blood. The realisation hit him so hard he thought he was gonna vomit (he didn't).

Very joyful 🫶🏻‼️‼️

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.
