Ryo, do demons know how to love? It’s unlikely. Demons are pure creatures in a way. The hunt and their destructive urge are everything to them. I see. To me, it felt like love.
Love doesn’t exist. There’s no such thing as love. Therefore, there’s no sorrow. That’s what I thought Tell me. What is this, Akira? Feel what I am feeling right now (…) Akira, don’t leave me alone
If you want to be more productive,
listen to a video game soundtrack
while you work. People who work in
silence are slower and less proficient
than those who listen to music, and
video game music is specifically
designed to keep you motivated
and finishing tasks without
stealing your focus. SourceSource 2
This was
just confirmed on the RWBY AMA Reddit Livestream. For those who have
been wondering and theorizing for centuries about Qrow secretly being Ruby’s
dear old dad instead of her uncle, there is your final answer.
Now this
lingering theory can be put to rest…or y’know, live on in RWBY FNDM AU’s.
you: dazai completely changed his life around when he joined the ada and is now a good human being.
me, an intellectual: a key tenant of dazai’s character is his amorality (his indifference to what is right and what is wrong). the only reason he seems like a good person is because he decided to work for a good cause, that does not mean dazai is now a good person. he has still shown the ability (and willingness) to be callously manipulative, rely on immoral tactics to get results, and be complicit in murder. He also continues to lack remorse for the lives he took while in the mafia.
me, another intellectual: this doesn’t mean what the ada see is a complete farce and all he is is perverse and manipulative tho, he’s also playful and childish and cares about his colleagues. dazai’s easily the most complex character in the story and he behaves differently with different people which doesn’t necessarily mean any of these facets is fake and reducing him to either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ is simplistic and insulting
