Makes Sense.

Akutagawa saved Atsushi on the boat by using the shirt off his back to.

Not with the coat that Dazai gave him. The coat that has become the main conduit of his ability and marks the day they met.

It’s not with him now and in choosing to save Atsushi, he forfeits any chance of victory and thus ever gaining Dazai’s approval.

So what Akutagawa does is manipulate the shirt off his back instead. He uses something that truly belongs to him.

Its not a lot but in that moment it was all the power he had. And while it wasn’t enough to save himself it allowed him to get Atsushi to safety.

When Atsushi saved Akutagawa at the airport he did so by using his own strength.

And not the tigers.

Because while it was available to him unlike Akutagawa, Atsushi knew that it would’ve shielded him from the blade.

When he needed it to strike him.

And so Atsushi pushes Akutagawa away with all the strength he has. It is not enough to save them both but it’s enough for Atsushi to take his place.

Both of them are rendered in a situation where they are forced to rely on their own power. It’s not a perfectly executed plan of attack.

It’s a last desperate attempt with no other option to be found.

The I may be powerless right now but if I have the power to save you then that’s all the strength I need.

LMAO I have two goldfish, one of which I got at a fair 3 or 4 years ago- They’re big as all fuck and aren’t dead yet. They’re appetizer sized at this point.

I think Dazai doesn't know what personal space is💔

this is scarily accurate. except for the drawing being weirdly romantic.

For the roommate au! In your sketches of Dazai and Chuuyas apartment theres a few little notes written to one another stuck on things in their home (ie the crab and fish decor, the expired kitchen stuff) is that something they do often? How’d they pick up the habit?

They do it when they have different schedules mostly. They just leave little notes in the house, they could just answer verbally as soon as they see each other but they keep their relationship playful like that, so they answer with another note. Sometimes they do it after a fight and the other is not answering calls or texts
