Tuttu-ruuu~ I’ve a question for you! What do you think about Yosano-sensei?

YOU MEAN MY QUEEN??? My MOTHER?????

Ahem… Bless you for this question, anon-chan! I Have too much fun with these opinion asks, as I’ve made known :3 As always, double the answers means double the fuuun~!

As a character, Yosano’s honestly probably the best one. A creative ability and a wonderful personality, sometimes I wish she was real so she could look after me when I’m out in public getting pushed around by people. I’ve introduced a lot of butterfly designs into my outfits and accessories thanks to her! (And between you and me, with the butterfly visual cropping up in BSD so much, I think it might mean a little more than a way to represent Yosano… But I haven’t figured out what just yet!!) And like, manga spoilers but oh my gosh no wonder she values life so much… No wonder her personality’s a little off its hinges sometimes she’s been through SO MUCH. War and everything… She loves life so much and tries so hard to help people. She really is a doctor – doctors want nothing more than to help their patients, even if her methods are a little unorthodox. Bless her,, I also really like that she’s not like, super sexy or a femme fatale or wearing revealing clothing or just wanted by all the guys or on a million romantic escapades or whatever. She’s just pretty and awesome and that’s all there is to it. Bless BSD’s treatment of female characters!

In character~! Yosano seems a little scary to the guys here in the Agency sometimes, but she’s so nice to me!! She looks out for me and always pushes me to be myself and never back down from who I am! When I first fell for Dazai, the only person I told (besides my best friend Junichirou) was Yosano. I thought she’d have good advice for me, like teaching me to do my make-up better like hers… Not that I wear make-up, which of course she knew! And that’s why she said no! I was so hurt. She wouldn’t teach me! And then she explained why – it wasn’t that she didn’t want to, it was that I didn’t need make-up to win Dazai over. If it wasn’t in my nature to wear it, then I shouldn’t wear it for someone else. If it was in my nature to wear it, then I shouldn’t stop for someone else! If he couldn’t love me the way I was Yosano promised to tear him apart, knowing that he couldn’t be healed by her ability. That was really scary, but at the same time she inspired me to just !! Go out there and win him over just by being Sara, plain and tall. But it’s not just me loving her – I think she’s really happy to have me around too. I’m the only one who’s happy to go shopping with her!

Dear Sara,

I write to you today to let you know that I love you. Every day I spend with you is a day to be enjoyed. Even today, I still cannot believe that you are my wife.I love the feeling of you waking up beside me and accompanying me throughout my day, and I am honored to be graced with a presence such as you.

I remembered the first day we met, I asked you to double suicide with me, and that I could finally die with one of the most beautiful girls on the planet- no, the most beautiful girl on this earth. But now, my wishes have changed, and I want to do a double… livicide? Double life? Kunikida’s telling me that’s not correct- I just want to spend my life with you, the two of us side by side.

Before I came to the agency, I always thought I was a creature of darkness. Of blood. Of murder. Someone who could not be redeemed. The devil. But when I met you, it was like you and your light rescued me from where I was before, extending a hand up to the heavens. I’m half convinced you’re an angel, Sara. A princess of angels. What hurt more, when you fell for heaven or when you fell for me? 😉

I still feel blessed to have a wife such as you. The most beautiful wife I can ever have. I wouldn’t choose anyone else over you, and I will fight for you for as long as I live, against the Mafia, the Guild, or a spider that may need stepping on. I will guard you as a prince does a princess- because you’re royalty, and you deserve to feel like it.

I love you. So, so, much. Thank you for being here for me.

Your loving husband,

Dazai Osamu

The first season of BSD takes place over five days, see here

  • First episode, Atsushi and Dazai find each other, Dazai decides to take him in and help him out
  • Second episode, takes place the next day when Atsushi wakes up in the apartment Dazai set out for him, then Dazai takes him to the Agency where he takes and passes his entrance exam with Junichirou pretending to be a bomber
  • Third episode, immediately after episode two, Junichirou apologizes to Atsushi for all that and they go off with Higuchi on a case, Atsushi meets Akutagawa and he injures them badly
  • Fourth episode, probably the next day, Atsushi wakes up in the infirmary, the Agency gets raided by the mafia
  • Fifth episode, takes place right after episode four, they’re still cleaning the Agency post-raid, Ranpo gets called off on a case
  • Sixth and seventh episodes don’t take place because in the light novel that’s actually the story of Dazai’s entrance exam, so it’s in the past
  • Eighth episode, Junichirou’s all better so it can’t have been that long since episode three, Yosano takes Atsushi shopping and he saves Kyouka
  • Ninth episode, takes place right after or the next day, Kyouka wakes up in the infirmary, Atsushi takes her to the police station but Akutagawa takes Atsushi
  • Tenth episode, same day, Atsushi and Kyouka both beat up Akutagawa
  • Eleventh episode, Atsushi brings Kyouka to the Agency right after all that, meanwhile Higuchi has to save Akutagawa from the people he messed with in episode ten when he’s too injured from his fight to do it himself
  • Twelfth episode, finally there’s some passage of time because it’s the beginning of the Guild arc and no longer connected immediately to the episodes (then again Kyouka moves in with Atsushi)

So basically:

Episode one is one day

Episode two and three is one day

Episode four and five is one day

Episode eight, nine, ten are one day (or two days)

Episode eleven is one day

All in all it was a heck of a week for Atsushi!

Took a BSD English dub DVD out of the library and it’s WILD

It’s so amazing to actually play too (the menu for DVD 1 is Agency themed and the menu for DVD 2 is Mafia themed, they used their color schemes and official art!! Will share in another post)

But the best parts are:

Earn his stripes get it? Get i-

And most impressively…

BUN BUN

Rin’s girlfriend…? Oh my! I’m Makoto’s girlfriend! Possible that we never met each other…? :o However thank you for the answer, it’s very cute what you’ve said~ 🍑

Ah!! Perhaps we have met, and just forgot! 😮 Makoto is a very good boy yes yes big buff sweet smiley orca. I’m just… Teeth. Crybaby shark,, yes. Anyways bless!! Thank you for the question Peach-chan 😀 looking forward to seeing you in my inbox more!

I’m the anon who asked you about Oda! Yup, I’m still here~ this time I wanted to ask you a question that has been in my mind for a while~ I don’t know if you already answered this but here we go: how did you fell in love with Dazai? And when? It’s a difficult question maybe but I was just too curious and in search for some romanticism~ (I’ll sign myself “🍑” from now on~)

Ah!!! I am so glad you are still here, omg~ I will call you Peach-chan! And I appreciate you asking this, because no, I haven’t answered it before! Dazai’s answered but not me. I will once again answer this question twofold! The simplest questions often tend to have the longest answers, after all.

In real life, I fell in love like, right away. Instantly. It took one episode and that was that. It was helped along by the fact that I went in with the knowledge that the shares a voice with my boyfriend at the time (Rin Matsuoka from Free!) but there was no way I could have ever been prepared for someone so charming. And so sad… I think that’s what struck me. Here’s this person who obviously hates himself and wants to die, but he’s always laughing and smiling and helping others. I wanted to be like him :0 and I dunno, I’m always finding myself attracted to sad people 😦 all my friends are depressed or suicidal one way or another… And I’m always happy cheery. I like to be there for them! It’s nice to be needed aaa,,

In character…! I fell in love with Dazai RIGHT AWAY. I mean, it’s hard not to fall in love with the handsome man who flirts with you as soon as you enter the doors of the Agency, haha! And then he asks for a double suicide… That’s intriguing, to say the least. Was he okay…? The longer I worked for them the more intriguing he became. A past shrouded in mystery, a demeanor which suggests both that he’s perfectly happy and perfectly unhappy all at the same time. Crush-at-first-site turned to into a really, really intense infatuation with him… But he couldn’t love me in return, could he? He must’ve had a girlfriend already, or maybe he was just… Too distracted for love. I’m glad I was wrong!
