odasaku is muscular but has a belly because of beer. he is definitely not skinny-muscular. he is long. he is stronger than he looks. ango's back is hunched unless the times he reminds himself to stand upright. his ass is flat, from sitting too much. he looks skinny but it's more about his figure rather than his weight. dazai is tall for his age, he is slightly underweight. he may be skinny-muscular but the muscles appear only if he clenches his arms too tight. which he does often to show odasaku and ango. he is ridiculously elastic. he grows to be taller than both of them. when odasaku gets to be a writer he gains weight. dazai eats better in ada, so he gains some too.
odasaku remembers to shave when ango mentions it. he also mentions dazai's hair. dazai cuts it himself without paying attention. when he wears his ada coat, ango praises him by saying light colors fit him. dazai invites them to the cafe under agency. ango's glasses got thicker because his vision got worse. he sleeps more though. odasaku feels lighter when he looks at dazai. him and ango are planning to move in together. dazai insists on somewhere near the agency.
when they chose different paths, they thought they'll be seeing each other less but it's the opposite. they meet pretty often. they age together.
i like to think that every time taigen sees his scarf wrapping around mizu's neck he loses his mind. especially when she adjusts it or pulls it down slightly when it gets hot. something that belonged to him on mizu makes him go feral
mizu saying a broken sword fits taigen makes me feel insane- like. she did that sword. she caused that sword to be broken because she was 'impure'. that sword got stolen by a liar. later, that liar found her and hurt her with it. and then she earned the sword. but she still doesn't love it. to her, it's a solid proof of her impurity, her flaw.
then, she gave it to taigen. taigen helped her to escape, saved both of their lives with it. taigen, who once pointed out her impurity and harmed her because of it, used the same impurity to protect her.
and she admitted it. she said, "the broken sword fits your hand." maybe she thought, one day taigen will kill someone in order to protect himself with this sword, and it'll be me who saved him, my flaw saved him. taigen will know that too :)
(WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS) God i love fanfics, especially when i found fanfics like THAT. I have absolutely no words, the first thing i should say its that i love how original the idea is and how the author putted efford to make Ink what he really is, a pacifist, he is a different Ink but still have a essence of a Ink y'know? Many fanfics dont do that, you could read, change the names to any new character bc you can't recognize any trait of the original story, this one carries a original concept, simple, but dont take away the essence of the characters.
AND AS I SAID BEFORE simple and original concept, THAT TURNS OUT TO BE JUST A BIT OF A WHOLE STORY, i really like in some fanfics the whole concept of a open multiverse that people can in and go and have different universes for different purposes, i liked a lot of how careful the author was of secret identities and sense when it comes to the gang members, you can really fell danger and worried abt the characters, the way they tell Ink abt the Omega timeline its not in a manipulated way, they REALLY believe that and you understand, bc in this story theres not a entirely 'good' or 'evil' side, theres just sides that fell into a way of violence in worlds that the only answer was violence. Its another perspective abt the situation, but sill not just doing "oh the bad guys are actually good and everyone just misunderstood", no no, they can be really toxic, but they can rely on eachother and understand their mistakes.
I love stories that discuss abt pacisfism and relashionships, that prefer on rely on not fighting but trying to understand your enemy, but not being naive, just hopeful to make peace without war (and exploring more abt the cycle of violence and revenge)
Anyway, if i write everything i think i will be here all night, i will continue reading by tomorrow and maybe maybe do some drawings of my favorite parts
