BSD-Bibliophile Japanese Literature & Bungou Stray Dogs Survey - 2023
The survey will be open from November 15 - December 15.
I am interested in knowing if BSD fans are reading the literary works by the Japanese authors who inspired the series. This is a short survey about Japanese authors and Bungou Stray Dogs. Everyone is welcome to take part in this survey, and feel free to share the link outside of Tumblr: https://forms.gle/8dMBvgge5stCdVR5A
Please fill out this survey even if you have not read any of the real authors’ works or have not watched/read Bungou Stray Dogs. Your responses are just as valuable and greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to send me a private message through Tumblr or write them in the comment section of the survey.
If you are interested in viewing the results from past surveys, here are the results from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. You can also compare the results from the past two years on the BSD-Bibliophile Online Library Survey Results page.

Oh, it was actually a simple trick. You most likely didn’t understand it because it was too simple.

WAS NO ONE GONNA TELL ME THIS EXISTS?!!
wdym Akutagawa is the only person that doesn't know Dazai praises him. Atsushi in the main story knows and now you're telling me that Oda did too?!!! Someone tell this emo victorian child about his mentors inability to say that to his face

Okay but in honour of Artistic Partisan being released on engstars, I'm going to be very self-indulgent and talk about how Hell Screen (source) coded it is. And yes I'm talking about Akutagawa Ryunosuke's short story about the (spoilers to come) painter obsessed with art and his beloved daughter who got sacrificed in all sorts of ways (then died) in order to inspire him to paint a scene of the Buddhist hell at the commission of his shady patron.
I mean, maybe it's just me but I think Artistic Partisan perfectly captures that line between obsessive creation and passionate artistry, flip flopping back and forth as the line "si vis artem, para bellum" (play on the latin "si vis parcem, para bellum" if you want art/peace, prepare for war) is chanted in the midst of it all. Like how could that not capture the artist's desire for eternity, longevity, beauty while also having the both threatening but invoking intense melody that gives it that edge of action and danger? It's so Hellscreen in the way that Hellscreen is a very bleak depiction of the battle that is art (with questionable beauty being produced but a definite masterpiece of expression regardless). Yes, the artist wants to live forever but, be warned, because the world of art is not one of peace. It is filled with blood and sacrifice and battles. Artistic Partisan is the warning song (but also a praise, almost, of art), Hellscreen is the story of the song ignored (but still proof of how war really does create art).
Just....man. They went hard on this one. If you want art, prepare for war indeed.

“The moment he understands where he is, he sees clearly the path to take. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that he cannot see any other than that path. Like luminous writings in a dark night, only the necessary path floats up; the rest is not to be seen at all.“

Before I hesitate, I should try. Without thinking about success or failure, I will try, for the sake of trying, my utmost. It does not matter if it ends in failure.
