thinking about 109 + yesterday's episode and Dazai cussing at Chuuya is kinda funny bc he rarely cusses. like he’s been shot and stabbed before and never uttered a fuck....imagine if this actually IS all his plan but Chuuya wasn’t supposed to shoot him like that but he’d never used a gun before so his aim is terrible 😭
like if you think about how chill he was when Chuuya pointed the gun at him initially (and even after when it was held to his head) it’s like. did you think he WOULDN’T shoot you or did you already plan that he would but just. not in the way he did.
(going with the scenario that this is all Dazai’s plan I can just imagine them bickering afterwards like:)
Dazai: you were just supposed to GRAZE my shoulder with the bullet?!
Chuuya: i'm sorry. my bad fr
Dazai: and you were standing A FOOT AWAY
Chuuya: IT’S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS
Dazai: how did you miss THAT BADLY at THAT CLOSE OF A DISTANCE?
Chuuya: technically I didn’t miss bc I got your shoulder. in any other situation that would’ve been a 10/10 hit. my first time using a firearm too
Dazai: …
Chuuya: but my bad fr

Something that drives me crazy about the punch scene in the Dead Apple flashback that I finally can put into words:
Before the Dragon Head Conflict, Chuuya and Dazai weren't partners. They became partners during the conflict, and were so good at working together that they became notorious in and outside of the Mafia. And then the bodies kept piling up, and Dazaj got dragged back into nihilism. And that is that made Chuuya pissed. Like, SB Dazai would not have made Chuuya pissed like that, because at that point he expects Dazai to be an asshole. It's only after they became partners, when Chuuya saw the humanity that Dazai was capable of, that seeing the old Dazai, the Dazai he hates, pop back up again made him pissed enough to punch him and say that Dazai does not look human to anyone.
And then Dazai cares so much about Chuuya's opinion of him that he ends the whole conflict. He cares so much. He straight up says "I'm fixing this cause my partner is upset with me" to Shibusawa in that bonus story.
Something happened in DBH before then that made them truly care about each other. To see each other as important. Like, if anything, what I want is a DHC Light Novel because that is when they became partners, and that changed everything.

Dazai really,
he really just took the opportunity to hold Chuuya's cheek huh? Like the pining boy he is, huh? Who has been spouting cheesy line after cheesy line ever since Chuuya's brutal rejection at fifteen, huh?
Sir, what do you say against the charges about your seven-year-long infatuation with your (ex) partner?
