I love what @samuraionyourmom has said because people don't seem to understand that some things are like a comfort space? Like I am not telling you to enjoy it? but you don't have to hate me for liking it. It's my opinion
Soukoku analysis<3
They toxic but I love em
Also beast was named beast because in the main universe it is said that dazai is something"unearthly" or "demon prodigy" so in this universe he is accepting that side of his hence the name beast.

It would make sense too and maybe they didn't die from natural causes???
But it's also mori so he's deffo taking yosano or dazai

This is a weird question but in school I need to read 5 short stories and write small review entries about said stories. I was wondering how many short stories do you know? Sorry if this is worded weirdly, I didn't know how to type out my thoughts. Thank you and hopefully you understand what I mean.
^Sakaguchi Ango writing^ (This picture is probably how we all feel writing assignments for school that require multiple references)
I know a lot of short stories by the Japanese BSD authors. I’ll include a list of some of my favorites and some links (because a lot of the books are expensive and out of print):
“The Moon Over the Mountain” by Nakajima Atsushi: link
“Run, Melos!” by Dazai Osamu: link
“Meat and Potatoes” by Kunikida Doppo: link
“The Self-Made Man” by Kunikida Doppo: link
“The Human Chair” by Edogawa Ranpo: link (starts on PDF page 14)
“The Psychological Test” by Edogawa Ranpo: link (starts on PDF page 37)
“Night on the Galactic Railroad” by Miyazawa Kenji: link
“Rashoumon” by Akutagawa Ryuunosuke: link (download the PDF)
“The Dancing Girl” by Mori Ogai: link
“Lemon” by Kajii Motojiro: link
“The State of the Times” by Oda Sakunosuke: link
“In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom” by Sakaguchi Ango: link
These are just some of my favorites that are also great examples of Japanese short stories. All the links come from the BSD Recommended Reading List, and there are a lot more short stories in this list, so feel free to browse and see if there are any that you would like to use.
If you want to have more Western authors then you can use the following sites for Western BSD authors:
Edgar Allen Poe
H.P. Lovecraft
Franz Kafka
And this website has links to short stories by a variety of authors like Anton Chekhov, Mark Twain, Herman Melville, and Ray Bradbury: bookbub.com
I hope that this can be helpful with your assignment! If you’re like me and you want to read shorter stories that have a lot of meaning in them then I would start with “The Moon Over the Mountain,” “Rashoumon,” “Lemon,” and “Run, Melos!” Those stories are also studied in Japanese schools, if that helps you know what stories to choose. But if you don’t care what length then any of them will do. It would be fun to write about “The Human Chair” because it’s more of a mystery/horror story, or “The Psychological Test.” But really just find five short stories that resonate with you and go with it!
Good luck, and I’m happy to help if you have any more questions!
I love this post sm because I've been thinking the same thing but I couldn't put it into words😭
(Contain 15-years old Novel excerpt spoiler )
Ever since the Rat’s arc I always wondered, why was Chuuya the one entrusted with the position of acting director in the wake of Mori’s infection by the virus? It’s not his skills that made me question it, just that there’s a lot of other candidates around him that seems like a better alternative at the time.
The level-headed, powerful (and arguably less drunk) Kouyou.
Or the veteran, well-respected Hirotsu.
(not Akutagawa, though. Definitely not Akutagawa. Ma boi’s not a good fit for leadership)
And in the new novel excerpt of soukoku’s first meeting (translated by the wonderful @looking-for-stray-dogs ) we finally found out the reason why.
Chuuya was not originally from the Mafia, rather he was a member of an organization known as the Sheep—and from the admission of a mafia member, the organization is a powerful one. And Chuuya? Chuuya is known as the King of Sheep, conceivably the leader of the said powerful organization that even a member of the mafia is afraid of.
And all of this happened when Chuuya was fourteen or fifteen. Younger than even Dazai when he was made Executive.
In hindsight, it’s clear why Chuuya was left with the Port Mafia in absence of the boss; he has experience, even more than that of Kouyou’s and (arguably) Dazai’s, in leading an organization. Seven years under Mori’s leadership and four to five as his right-hand man, Chuuya was a different beast altogether from the one that kicked in the window of an airplane for revenge.
We always hailed Dazai as the genius of the Port Mafia, but in actuality? The Mafia is in possession of two geniuses. If only Chuuya had joined the Port Mafia first and not the Sheep there’s not a single shred of doubt in my mind that he would be just as feared as Dazai, a true equal in every sense of word.
With the revelation I won’t even be surprised that, if Mori were to die before Dazai return to the Mafia, Chuuya would make a powerful new boss to the organization.
My endgame 💫
Was it all worth it?
VI's personality synopsis in my opinion
My ultimate goal is to draw a character so well or make a character so good that even a person who hates it feels like saying
My dear ,let me hold you till the stars in the night sky burn out.
I think that this ship , it actually let's you know that you will go through shit and find some rebounds but you'll always look for that one person. And that is psychotic.
Hello, friend! 🎉❤️
As we step into a new year full of possibilities,
I’m asking for your help to make a fresh
start for a family in need. 🌟
Could you reblog my pinned post or donate $5?
Every act of kindness could bring them a brighter tomorrow.
Thank you for being a part of this new beginning! 🕊️🌸
I hope you find what you need
I was so happy reading this until the last para
I'm broken y'all 😭 might pull a beast!dazai soon
Headcanon: When you call the Agencies phone line and no one picks up you’ll be greeted by a message.
It’s usually from Kunikida saying that they’re busy at the moment and to call later. It’s very professional until you hear “ohhh Kuuuniiikiiiidaa” and the rest of the message intercuts with him yelling at Dazai.
But there’s other messages from each Detective all repeating the same message as Kunikida.
With their own flair.
Dazai will happily ask if a fair maiden is calling to commit double suicide with him. Junichiro’s is fine until he goes all scary like “but if this is that fucker who tried hurting Naomi then I will…”
The rest of that message has been censored.
Yosano’s has screams in the background. Kenji’s has mostly cows but also various other farm animals making noises in the background.
Kyouka does the message but instead of ending it there she just carries on talking to Atsushi for a while before it cuts off.
Similarly, Atsushi’s is him giving the message and then talking to Kyouka or being dragged away by Dazai.
Ranpo’s is just the normal message with “I’ll do you the honour of taking it if it’s interesting.” Before doing a 180 and cheerfully greeting Detective Minoura.
Fukuzawa’s is the only normal one, promising this matter will be dealt with soon. And making sure the caller is safe.
Thinking about Atsushi calling the Agencies number and of course it goes straight to the answering machine. Because no one’s here and he just wants to hear everyone’s voices again.
Silico was a bad man , but a good dad
I'm back y'all
Also I have this theory that VI is the actual jinx because wtf? She dies and everyone is happy and she lives and everyone is sad.
MERRY CHRISTMAS @bucketkizuu
