okay i think i might have lied a little.
i’m not objective. i’m not objective at all. Ougai Mori is my precious little angel (please don’t question my logic on why he’s an angel). i read bsd and saw him pulling Atsushi by that silly little ribbon and instantly went-
“this man. this man right here.”
and ever since then i’ve voraciously taken up content of him like a caveman eating cooked meat for the first time. Ougai Mori is not just a mafia boss, he’s also a silly little guy. a silly little guy that i will list reasons for liking below, but bear with me first.
“but tai, what’s up with you? why are you posting this?” well, i saw a tiktok video that was captioned, “pov Chuuya finds out what Mori did to Dazai” and i have never closed an app faster in my life. if my tiktok algorithm would be so kind to manifest into a physical form, i’d really like to slap it across the face a few times. what part of “keep me off of bungou stray dogs tiktok it’s rancid there” don’t you get? hello, i beg of you. keep me off of bsd tiktok.
okay, as promised. the list.
1) he describes Dazai as someone who usually seems brainless until he stumbles across one brilliant thought and is scary for a second, and then proceeds to tell Dazai that Dazai reminds Mori of himself. Mori indirectly admitted he has one single braincell and sometimes it bounces into a corner but usually it’s just civilian Mori TM. i think this was in the 15 light novel if you wanna check.
2) civilian Mori as a whole. he’s so cute. what’s there not to love? please look me in the eye and tell me you don’t want to kiss this adorable thing. you can’t. (or bite, i accept display of affection through biting and eating comments too)
3) Elise. yes, she gets her own reason. she comes with Mori like the mcdonald’s child meals come with toys. you’d buy the child meal JUST for the toy, wouldn’t you?? Elise is so sarcastic she puts Dazai to shame. love that girl.
4) Yokohama. you might wonder again, “tai, you explained your motive for posting this. so why are you listing a city as a reason to love one single guy?” to that, i say, that one single guy is the reason the city can exist!!!!!!! he keeps Yokohama in balance!!!!! even the government keeps their paws away from the mafia because of that!!!!!!! if you’ve ever had the thought that you like the ADA for keeping the peace, allow me to introduce to you; Ougai Mori. he might be a smuggler, but he also makes sure that there’s a town to smuggle things into at all. ladies and gentleman, the head of the port mafia.
i’m keeping this short because i’m worried it’s going to turn into a character analysis, and god knows nobody wants to hear me explain why Mori’s feelings of guilt are his driving emotion.
keeping even my outro paragraph short because as i type this, i can feel my fingers start to shake in an attempt to type up a theorized backstory for him. fingers, don’t forget that i eat carrots every day. you are not unharmable. i won’t hesitate.
now, let me link a few things.
first, the tiktok that had me twitching in shock.

next, a reddit post that i read far too often

finally, someone who draws Mori that i found through sheer luck.

if those links didn’t work, spare me. i’m on mobile and the copy-paste function really doesn’t want to work. i hand typed all of those in. adieu~
