Woah, I drew something

I just think it would be really funny

i'm back with bsd

Do you think after Dazai first took Akutagawa in he was like how he was in beast? Although much smaller given his age and the panels from chapter 122

(If so I will combust)

Can you imagine this little cutie but even tinier dressed like a victorian child behaving how he did in beast. Do you think he tried to hide from Dazai by hiding under a table? Complained about the paperwork within the mafia? Had to learn to fix his writing? Thought he was the boss? Talked about eating bugs and paper? And just let himself be tossed around like a ragdoll?

He definitely had that rage and lashed out as he did in beast but it's sad nobody was there to quell it instead Dazai tried to correct his violence with more violence when really all he needed was stern but soft disabling and a stable environment

ex-orphan: oh! it's you long time no see!

atsushi looking for a way out: ah same to you.

ex-orphan: did you finally leave the orphanage?

atsushi: yea-yeah something like that. um how's... being adopted?

ex-orphan: oh you know-- well i guess not. but it's great. how's... surviving?

atsushi: oh that--

akutagawa, popping in: jinko who is this

atsushi: oh someone from my orpha- AKUTAGAWA PUT RASHOMON AWAY WTF

ex-orphan, terrified:

rashomon, an inch away from their throat:

akutagawa:

akutagawa: i was just saying hi

atsushi: you were not

akutagawa:

akutagawa: anyway. jinko would you care to fight to the death over who gets to choose the movie?

atsushi: ugh fine.

Second Anniversary Special

As many of the long-time followers of this blog know, I originally started out on the classic literature side of tumblr, which is what lead to my venturing into bsd. As an homage to my roots as a classic lit enthusiast, I’ll be going through all the works that I’ve read written by bsd authors:

The Spider’s Thread by Akutagawa

This short story is brought up in a lot of animes, which is unfortunately the most likely way western bsd fans. I could make an entire separate post of commentary on how the American school system doesn’t cover most foreign literature (outside of English [as in from England] and French works), and that is an absolute travesty. However, that’s not what we’re covering right now. 

Anyway. The Spider’s Thread is a very short story—like two pages at most. You can go read it now. For all the other entries I plan on rating the novels out of 5, but this one’s truly too short to rate. If you wanna read it you can find a hundred pdfs online. The same probably goes for most works of classic literature, so. Go wild enjoy the wonderful world of free online pdfs.

The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe

I was probably assigned other works by Poe, but this one is most likely his most famous short story. I was assigned it in middle school/high school/ and at least twice in college. Again, very short short story—you can read it in a few minutes tops. 

5/5 for the sole reason of it aligning with my personal sense of humor. I get that it’s not supposed to be funny, but unreliable narrators are and will always be hilarious to me. I love a guy insisting that he’s not crazy while he’s off murdering a guy. Cask of Amontillado-core protagonist. Funny because E.A. Poe also wrote Cask of Amantillado. I’m out here starting to suspect that E.A. Poe just really loved writing his unnamed unreliable narrator protagonists.

Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

I’ve never read Tom Sawyer, but in 11th grade my class read Huckleberry Finn. 3/5 because I don’t like the way it was taught in class, but I did enjoy analyzing it more than some other books we did. 

Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky

Currently reading it so I can’t give much feedback, but so far I’d like this guy (Raskolnikov not Dostoyevsky) to meet Meursault from The Stranger. If anyone’s made this crossover, please send it to me. And if not and you wanna go make it yourself—please I’ll love you forever.

Dracula by Bram Stoker 

I mean we’ve all done Dracula Daily. Or at least I’ll assume you’ve heard of it. 5/5, Mina’s best girl, Quincey’s best boy, I have very basic opinions but I’m standing by them.

--Bonus

The Stranger by Camus

Meursault the prison is clearly named after Meursault, the fictional character who famously goes to prison, right. We’re all on the same page about this, right? 

Anyway if you’ve never heard of or read the stranger, [spoilers] it’s about this guy who kills a guy for no reason (“it was just so hot outside, idk what happened but now there’s a dead guy, this is a good enough criminal defense right? You’re not gonna send me to jail for just this one little mistake---oh you’re giving me the death penalty? Ah. I see.”) Solid 4/5—points deducted for being a little slow by some parts (although I can’t vouch for how it is in the original French, this was only my impression from the English translation I read)

—————

After making this list, it’s clear that I haven’t read too many books my bsd authors, so next years my anniversary special will be more about the classic literature I have read. I do plan to keep posting until then. So please enjoy another year of the anti-dazai blog!!
