Stop for a moment please 🛑✋🚨
me going through the five stages of grief every time i remember yosuke was originally gonna be a love interest:
dawg why does the introduction have an introduction
attempting to read The Scarlet Letter, why is the introduction/foreword/WHATEVER 30 something pages
dear alt baddies laddies and daddies how do you do winged eyeliner
who was going to tell me the magnus archives was 200 EPISODES⁉️
“Our fear, it lines his pockets, love,
So take that rage and bottle up
And put a drop into his cup of wine.
You don’t need him,
You don’t need me,
With that poisoned bottle,
You’ll be free,
But be damn sure you don’t mix it up with mine.”
just started to read no longer human by osamu dazai. so far, it’s pretty interesting! i’m maybe halfway? through the second notebook
when i was reading the back, the summary mentioned how it was one of dazai’s last complete works and that just suddenly reminded me of a vid i saw of someone basically describing the book as his suicide letter, and i can see why
i don’t know too much about his life. it’s just a bit sad to think that this book was him laying himself bare under the guise of yozo, as if to finally tell people,”this is how it really feels”
that sense of feeling alienated from everybody is personal, and it feels strange to read it out on paper after going on for so long not knowing how to articulate it
the perspective of yozo does have his faults, i know that he’s an unreliable narrator, he does some fucked up things, and his opinions definitely were a product of its time. i just think it shows just how human he really was; he’s flawed.
like when he describes how he didn’t feel like he was loved while growing up, just taken care of. for me that really just illustrates how detached he was, his isolation clouded his judgement. because while yes the people in his life may have just taken care of him and nothing else, there’s also the probability that they really did love him
the writing style is beautiful. i’m not really sure where this will go. i know this is kind of a lot for only the first two sections i just think too much lol
