There has been something going on my mind for a while
The place where Kouyou invited Yosano for a double date, you said it was going to be an important thing of the trama, yet it hasn't been mentioned, and the fic is about to end
I was thinking "there are still four chapters left, something can happen" but seeing the chapters you've been uploading, I'm starting to doubt a little, since they're normal size where only two things are happening
The main things of the plot from the start and so on that got us more and more hanged like Dazai's lore, Chuuya's lore, Kouyou's lore, hasn't been brought up again, just Dazai's one, and very slightly
You also said obac wasn't really sunshine fanfic, and even though is true, so far more stuff hasn't happened. I was just re reading the first chapters and went through the double date one and remembered what you said about the place, and I was like, "wait, but that place has been left forgotten", and with all this sigzai thing going on, much less
So I started to think so I'm gonna ask you, did you decide to leave the real shit, like the real real life changing drama, for the second part? And leaving the first part like some kind of introduction? For example, Dazai's dad (he fucking came to dazai's apartment, he will definitely do it again to keep tabs on him, and control him and all that stuff) and things like that
Kouyou's behaviour, she's a bitch but still an interesting bitch, especially as Chuuya's sister. They were raised up by different people and everything behind that it's interesting, and also how chuuya started to develop the feeling of pleasing Kouyou in how "an alpha must be". Wonder if it's because she was his older sister so it came naturally, or if there was something else behind
I don't think that all will be covered in the few chapters left, let alone with sigma taking spotlight now. Since he's not correlated at all with them. Since he started to appear more with his "o want to date dazai too", these things were going more to the background to the point it doesn't feel the same as in the start when we were getting to know chuuya and lately, Kouyou. Since it was always charged with a little perk of curiosity, their behaviour and all
Also dazai's view of the world and alphas, that's how he came to the city, so we wanted to see how it was gonna be for him with a vision like that in a place where such things are not like in his town
(Though he changed it a little quick XD)
So I wonder if it is because that all will be covered up in the second part? And this was like some introduction for the real, real thing?
I'm also very curious about how will that place come again and be important in the plot. Not only the obvious of being such a weird place where everything that dazai hates comes to life, but also that Kouyou is so full of that shit that she goes to such PRIVATE places (how does she knows abt them? Rich privilege? and drags chuuya with her 🤔
Yes, I guess you could say that OBAC is more of an introduction. The way I think of it is that we often meet people or encounter things by total chance and don’t even realize how they change the trajectory of our life until several months/years later. Like a new chapter that begins without any warning. OBAC is the beginning of that chapter and I believe it is also going to be a smaller work compared to the next part tho don’t take my word for it as I’m still outlining part 2.
As for Dazai changing quickly, I believe I mentioned on my CC about a year ago or so (which is now lost forever) that Dazai has undiagnosed ADHD which I don’t usually describe in much detail because it’s really not meant to be the focus of things, just something that he happens to have, and there’s this theory about object permanence where for example you might not really miss someone or even not think of them if they are not currently in your life. Dazai experiences this in the sense that his father is several travel hours away and the longer he lives alone, the less he really thinks about his parents and the people from his village. The effect that being away from all that, physically and mentally, has on him is that he is very subconsciously starting to give in to this new, more open and accepting environment. His hostility has cooled down which allowed Sigma, whom he already likes a lot as a person because he’s a ‘omega-feminine’ alpha, to break through his walls. Chuuya couldn’t really get that far because he still struggles with his own toxic alpha tendencies and because he reminds Dazai a lot of his childhood home (e.g. through his scent).
But even though he actually started dating an alpha for the first time doesn’t mean that Dazai is just feeling all peachy about it, I would even say that he’s finding a bunch of new problems he has with it. We will see.
As for Kouyou, I still have plans for her and we barely scratched the surface of who she is. Right now she’s not super fleshed out and almost like a caricature and it’s because it’s still Dazai telling the story.
It’s hard to answer these things without spoiling too much so I hope I have made a few things clearer for you, but yeah we still have a whole lot of stuff to get through and it will not all be covered in the remaining 4 chapters of part 1.
So... I just finished reading OBAC in its entirety. I didn't sleep (it's that good) in fact I just finished it. And I'm shaking from withdrawal. You write amazingly, I was expecting something and then suddenly there was a twist. And all the longing and the hurt and the pining. And the smut... Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can hardly wait to know everything. And the thought of there still being a second part has me shaking. Greetings from Mexico.
"This image of Dazai's father makes me very happy, Dazai's father lying on the ground with no one to protect him! Then Dazai's father who always disturbs everyone! It's very good to see him like this! But God will bring down the Dazai's father always!"
im starting to feel like dazai isnt gonna end up with anyone💀💀 will he end up with someone or be alone
I wasnt sure if i like the sigma and dazai in OBAC but yeah i think its very rational and chuuyas fault. Maybe it would be differwnt if chuuya he didn't approach it from the ass but rn i really love sigzai
Is it so bad that I think skk in OBAC would be better off as not being endgame anymore 🥹 I rooted for them I really did!! It's just that the more I read the more I go "does dazai even truly want chuuya" and chuuya should just stop inserting himself on someone who doesn't reciprocate omg!! Like dazai is correct yuan is pretty desperate but so is chuuya so they're perfect!!
if only yuan and chuuya were desperate for each other😭 but yeah, I can see why you feel that way. I think the best thing about human relationships and feelings is that they are hard to understand and they are never linear, at least in my opinion🙃 sometimes you can really like a person and then the next day you question yourself only to suddenly remember why you like them and it’s just such a rollercoaster
What is obac chuuya doing rigth now I miss him
I didn't understand what you said to the anon about the "emotionally constipated Dazai." He clearly likes Sigma, Chuuya has no chance with the brunette... but clear up this doubt for me, I didn't understand if at any point Dazai was a hypocrite and if he was I unfortunately don't remember
I guess it was subtle but Dazai is never entirely sure if he should go for it. He takes one step forward, overthinks, then takes five steps back. He may be open to a lot of things and he is progressing emotionally but it’s a hard effort for him to not just throw it all away. I guess that’s my idea of why I call him emotionally constipated. He’s never entirely vulnerable with anyone and he lies to himself a lot.
"I’m actually so frustrated with Dazai right now because he’s so emotionally constipated that his actions are completely out of sync with his thoughts and his heart" oh YEAH I WAS GONNA COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TOO LMAO
since you're his momma
Dazai is being so stupidly STUPID
He's confused with his feeling, and on top of that, HE DENIES THEM TOO DAZAI PLEASE YOU'RE NOT HELPING YOURSELF
He's making everything more complicated and dragging the others in the process HAHAHA😭😭😭 AND HURTING THEM AND HIMSELF IN THE PROCESS
I just wanna slap him so bad in the face and shake him by the shoulders
Can't wait when Dazai gets his reality hit and how of a hypocrite bitch he has been a lot of times (since he hates those traits, it's funny because that's who's he's being sometimes)
But that's what happens when you live in a reservated little town with shit parents 😞
Hello Skippy!! I know this may be a sudden question, but I don't know who to ask
There was this author called ph4ntomv1k, the one who wrote that fic for you, a craving so cruel
I was remembering this fic and wanted to re read it, and didn't find it😭 and saw that she disappeared too from everywhere
Did something happened? Is she okay? Will she come back or she left the bsd fandom?
Skippy, let's get off this shitty Twitter and go to Bluesky?
Hmm Omega Fyodor and Alpha Chuuya, what's your opinion on this?
Hmm as a ship? To be completely honest, I have never been super intrigued by this ship🙃 I can see the appeal and I do like certain aspects of it but it’s never going to be on any of my top ranked lists (as of today). As for this omegaverse dynamic…I guess I can see why they would maybe fuck but even as an omega and alpha duo I don’t see them being romantically devoted to each other at least in my interpretation of the characters. I would maybe use them as a plot device for a fic🤔
YES YES YES, can you believe that when I wrote chapter one I didn’t even listen to this song at all?😭 should’ve seen my face when I came across the song way later for the first time in a long while and was like “oh my god how is this not in the playlist yet
LMG THE SONG FOUND YOU
IT'S JUST AMAZING HOW IT ALSO APPLIES TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW
IT'S LITERALLY AN OBAC SONG
I CAN'T SEE IT ANY OTHER WAY NOW
Well, at the moment my phone's memory is full and I can't download Discord, I think I'll only get a better phone in January next year 😔😔
