Question for all Mic stans and kinnies listeners and banana dreamers out there!!!!
Why
I think one of the funniest parallels in Stormbringer has to be the way Dazai and Chuuya... used one another as an excuse to cling onto life/humanity. It happens in similar settings too!
We have Dazai, who's presented with the most perfect death imaginable: a way to die quickly and painlessly. But then Mori, the mentor figure who forced himself into that role in Dazai's life, says:
"Your perfect death will end up as double suicide with you and Chuuya." And that's enough to make him turn around and act serious LMAO by the mention of death with Chuuya, or maybe even just Chuuya dying, this boy suddenly wanted to live (as if Chuuya wasn't the reason he found interest in life at Fifteen... I see what you're doing, Asagiri)
Then we have Chuuya, who's been backed into a corner. He could easily snap Professor N's neck to get back at him for... everything. And we have Verlaine, the mentor figure currently forcing himself into that narrative, pushing Chuuya to descend to that same hatred. But then Chuuya says:
"I'd never think the same way Dazai does."
Bro no one's mentioned Dazai in this context, why is he in your head, why's he in your little speech about holding on to your humanity?
Stupid.
Here's how 'let's start a new party, you and me' will be in the fourth episode
I love how in BSD every au and fanfic that someone makes could be true.
Person A came up with a pirate au, cool let's write it into the Book and see if Odasaku lives in this one or if Dazai decides to stop being a pirate and go join some other sea faring crew instead. Magic and Mystery? Sure why not? The aus where Dazai and Chuuya got to UA? That too.
There is a book that can create countless alternate realities, which means that any of them and every of fic technically has the chance to be true in one of them.
i got a little silly.

I want to find out how many people are aromantic and/or asexual on Tumblr so i made this
Listen, I think I have a fever and I feel terrible, so what if.
Levi x Moblit
But like, Levi has feelings for Erwin, and Moblit has feelings for Hange, but they both know they won't be loved by them in the way they want to be, so they keep it to themselves. But SOMEHOW (maybe during their time at the bar, when tipsy Moblit gets too talkative) they find out about their unrequited loves and how much it hurts them to be around the person they love but can't hug them, touch them, tell them they love them, and... I don't know, after a while their sad confessions turn into something more physical, but it's a substitute. Not in a, y'know, sexual way, just… closeness. Closeness, touch, words, time spent together, during which they close their eyes and think about someone else. It's quiet and shy, immersing oneself in fantasy with every tender gesture and word. It's comforting to have someone who understands and to allow someone to be understood in this difficult situation. It feels good to be able to pretend that you are the only one for someone so dear to you. But both of them know deep down that it's not right.
And maybe, at the end of the day, they'll end it without regret, not bringing it up again, just sweet memories of pretend affection.
Or maybe, at some point, Levi will discover that his thoughts don't wander to Erwin when Moblit embraces him, and Moblit will discover that Levi's closeness doesn't make him think of Hange.
Maybe, at some point, they'll realize that they're thinking about each other, not about the people they love who will never be theirs. Something is changing, something is growing. It's a little different and uncertain. It's still quiet and shy.
But now it's also genuine.
