This is episode, this chapter- they are killing me. I am suffering because of soukoku.
Like, there are several instances where Chuuya has 'lost' his humanity- from using Corruption, and this one time of being affected by the vampire virus.
I need to share how this is a knife to my dug, getting twisted and twisted.
Because in every other time where Chuuya is lost to the throes of angry screams and mindlessness (fuck you fyodor. ordering him around has physically damaged me 😭) Dazai is there, able to nullify it.
First case is in the climax of Stormbringer, with Chuuya losing his wings and Dazai being there to catch him:
Second of them at the Dragon Head incident:
Then at 22 during the confrontation against the Guild:
And most recently, Dead Apple:
And then the prison arc rolls up, Chuuya's a vampire, and this is one of the first times that Dazai cannot nullify Chuuya back to his humanity, to his normal. He has to use his words instead of physical touch.
And this. This is what punches me in the gut, over and over again.
“Come back.”
And what if Dazai really is dead, and it isn't the Chuuya he knows that he last sees? Or what if Chuuya never does escape the vampirism, and everything goes to shit?
I rest my case. Brb gonna dig myself a grave because my own post has ended me ✌️

You know what’s a phrase that I absolutely loathe with every fiber of my being?
“When/If I was your age, I would/could.”
When you express exhaustion or limitation or the incapability to do something, and the older people in your life want to show you that naw, when they were your age they did that - or if they were your age right now, then they would be able to do that.
Shut up shut up shut up forever.
I don’t know how often, or how slow and deliberate, I have to say the phrase “I am in pain every minute of every day” for it to click, and it’s not something I disclose with everyone, but having shit like that come from like my parents or grandparents.
You know this. You know I have a chronic headache. Even if you can’t understand the details of it, how is the concept that hard to understand?
Sure, I’m “young”. That doesn’t make me physically superior or peak? My head hurts every minute of every day and when I’m lucky that is just a buzzing in the back of my mind and I get to focus on other things. And when it’s bad it is a droning drowning sound that has me on the verge of tears for hours. But it’s always there. I am always in pain. And I have been for at least twenty years now (though recent recounts from my mother suggest that I’ve been complaining about headaches since I was four...).
So yes, things that would have been easy for you to handle when you were young and in peak physical condition without any ailments are actually more challenging for me because I am not in peak physical condition and I am honestly so fucking tired of the people who are supposedly close to me and know this to keep forgetting it.

The best thing I got out of therapy was learning the importance to immerse yourself in activities you enjoy doing, to make you feel better. Also learning to appreciate the small things and slow living. But also how to overcome your problem(s) by making a plan on how to deal with it in baby steps. That way you’re not pushing yourself too much that you become overwhelmed, but at the same time you’re pushing yourself a little to help build up the courage. It’s been a slow progress to reach the end goal but it’s worth it once you get to that point.
