Ok. Im Sure Everyone And Their Mom Has Read This Fic By The Talented Mothpoem Already Bc Its So Incredible.

“and the universe said…”

I am absolutely insane about the coat symbolism in BSD so I'll start off with a little something now and explain more when I have the time later. I am obsessed with this shit

Coat theory is the symbolisation of the colour and placements of coats on characters like Dazai, Mori, Odasaku, Chuuya and Akutagawa. The coats represent their loyalties to organisations and people and on which "side" they are on.

Pm is canonically black and darker colours where as the ADA is white and lighter colours as seen in the images above with Dazai PM and ADA the colour changes.

The colour however is not the significant part about the coat theory. It's how the coats are used. We can see in port mafia members the way they wear the coats, whereas Dazai doesn't wear his coat properly and in certain scenes (especially with Oda) he isn't wearing the coat at all

In Oda's death scene in particular he runs in wearing the coat and when he dashes over to Odadaku the coat is thrown off and discarded. It seems like nothing at first but it's a sign of how Dazai actively regects the mafia in that moment.

This is my short snippets of the coat theory because I have to sleep and I have work tomorrow but probably more to come on Dazai and the other characters.

reflections of a feeble scholar

Days at the cafe

Dazai: Chuuya and I don't use pet names.

Odasaku: I see. Hey, what do bees make?

Dazai: Honey.

*silence*

Dazai: Ha, you thought, bitch.

Chuuya, yelling from another room: What do you want, whore?

God feigning humanity and human feigning divinity

Oda: if I had a nickel for every time I had to carry an injured teen with gunshot wounds wearing a long black coat and threatening to kill me, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

DIVA DOWN🚨🚨‼️
