Some of Dazai's favorite things in the whole world are the moments when Atsushi and Kunikida's competing brands of being socially out of the loop collide. Atsushi was essentially incarcerated in an orphanage until he was 18 while Kunikida has always been hyper-focused on his ideals and goals. Whenever Atsushi runs into some slang or a meme he doesn't understand he asks Jun'ichirō or Yosano about it.
(He avoids asking Dazai 'cause he knows Dazai will just lie to amuse himself.)
When Juni and the doctor are unavailable, though, he asks Kunikida. That's normally fine, but when the questions veer into the crude and obscene without either of them knowing, amazing things happen. Dazai still hasn't recovered from the time a case led the agency to monitor an American message board with a little help from Google translate — and no help from Dazai despite him being fluent in English. Atsushi looked up at Kunikida and initiated an exchange that changed Dazai's life forever.
Hi, this is about your recent atsushi and angel comparisons post. PLEASE ELABORATE I NEED MORE ATSUSHI CONTENT😭
shibusawa referred to atsushi as the angel sent to save him and that really stuck in my head (since the rush he felt post-atsushi killing him the first time was what he craved or whatever)
anyway in general atsushi wouldnt like to be called an angel, becuz that would be overlooking his faults, his anger, and his flaws and that's a part of him just as much as his kindness and his need to help others
in fact, the ability to have these faults, to be able to express his anger and other negative emotions, is linked to his freedom from the physical and mental orphanage + headmaster (like the ability to just be) so by forcing him into a title such as angel would be like the opposite of what marks his new found freedom/humanness
