catsbythegreatALMOST DONE!! When writing these sort of "climax" chapters it became more and more apparent that I like verbal climaxes rather than action ones.
The conflict ended up being (and will continue to be) a conflict involving words more than anything physical, and part of that is because I really like writing dialogue. It's kind of a problem that defined my writing in grad school and that I've tried for the most part to deal with by writing more visually and with more action, but sometimes I just...go for the dialogue. It's because I can't picture things in my head visually that well without seeing them in front of me (kind of like needing references for drawing but like...for memory) BUT I can hear people and dialogue pretty clearly for the most part. So characters start talking and thinking a lot.
Not that the stuff they're trying to deal with in this fic is something that can really be solved by violence. Chuuya's existence until now has been defined by what he can do, and while Dazai comes at things from a planning pov he also is involved with a lot of violence. There is a lot of action in BSD and not a lot of talking, which is another reason why I tend to make them talk. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I did enjoy writing it. Needless to say, there will be more talking.
