He becomes the unborn baby
I'll preface this by saying that I don't hate Dazai. His entire concept is really, deeply interesting. A traumatized, suicidal, manipulative, morally gray bastard. (not to mention the Aggressive Queercoding)
But he is So. Goddamn. Annoying.
A character that always wins is fundamentally uninteresting. If he has already planned All Possible Outcomes, there are no stakes.
In truth, I think that we are at a crossroads in his character. Asagiri needs to make Choices. And I have one Major Gripe.
Dazai needs to show more emotion. He does in the manga, but it's still subtle. This man needs to lose, needs to struggle. I wish the prison arc had been more than a fabricated game of mental chess. Dazai needs to show that he is different from Fyodor. And in truth, I dislike how he acts just. In general.
Think about it. imagine some random-ass man approaches you speaking in flowery, dramatic tones, and talks about killing himself. Now that would be concerning in of itself, but the whole double suicide gag (because that's what it's treated as, a gag) has always come across as threatening to me. Now, I'll admit that I don't think dazai (or, perhaps, asagiri) might simply understands how threatening it can be. like. saying he wants you to kill yourself with him just means 'i want to die, and I think you should die wth me" like.
It's always sat wrong to me, and I just think we should, y'know, address it.
not to mention the fact that we as a fandom need to acknowledge that Dazai is manipulative and that for him to redeem himself, he needs to directly address his actions, and stop puppetering events.
I also admit that the fandom loves him to an incredibly annoying degree and if I see one more dazai-centric fic I'm gonna lose it.
Please give attention to chracters other than dazai, especially the incredibly interesting bsd ladies.

So apparently Joost (the "Europapa" guy) has been suspended from Eurovision. Allegedly, after refusing to be seen with the Israel singer, asking "Why not?" After someone told the Israeli participant that she didn't have to answer a question about her being part of Eurovision putting other participants in danger, and covering his face whenever she spoke in press conferences; the Israeli team started to harass Joost constantly and, after they made fun of his dead parents, Joost punched them.
This is why one of the most beloved participants this year is probably not going to show up tomorrow to the finals
Mexican Miku 🇲🇽💖
I’ve never mentioned it before, but I was born and raised in a Mexican family and have lived in a border city all my life!! I based the design on what I've seen most girls in my city wear when going out (which usually looks like something you'd wear to a jaripeo lol)

She's stunning

I feel like some of you guys think "bad art" is like someone gluing rhinestones to a water melon, or a guy who made his own armchair out of Ohio license plates, or a trashy romance novel where someone says "the blue-eyed one kissed the brown-eyed one," when in reality bad art is a 1000000 Billion Dollar movie where none of the workers got paid and every single creative decision was market tested to see how lucrative of a profit it could foreseeably make to wow shareholders.
So many people do not understand the relationship between climate change and cold weather.
because WHY NOT
