Ok I’m actually kinda emotionally wrecked over chapter 123. The cat was her last shred of comfort and companionship and she cut it, because she put its happiness before her own, acting selflessly, and put her trust in another human. And all of it was ripped away from her so cruelly. Her mom died so she could save that cat, but at least she saved the cat… And now everyone’s dead. She made the mistake to trust and now she’s alone.

The more we see of her the more I think we can understand why Yuko was so important to Asa.

Bsd Quick Analysis: Dazai and Fyodor as narrative Foils

Spoilers: light novels and movie

---

Spark notes version: While Fyodor and Dazai are fairly similar, they also hold a great deal of differences.

Dazai and Fyodor share characteristic similarities and respective roles within their organizations, they have a certain form of control over everything that happens.

I just wanted to point out all the visually symmetrical shots the anime uses with these two.

Something that strikes me though is the way they keep this control. Fyodor holds control tightly, directing each and every action of those that serve him. His lackeys rely on him to make decisions too the point even he complains about his subordinates lack of initiative. On the other hand, Dazai holds the reins of control loosely, extremely so when compared to his Russian counterpart. He directs with near suggestion. He, dare I say, trusts that his chosen individuals to do what he predicts. Which I think there in lies the key difference between Dazai and Fyodor's forms of control. Fyodor moves his 'pieces' while Dazai predicts his 'players' movements. Dazai has the mind of a in the field battle strategist (quite literally what he was raised and trained to do), he can predict who needs to be when and where for the right outcome. Fyodor is more akin to a particularly intelligent war leader. A strategic genius yes, but one that relies on his people to follow his orders directly. Furthermore, he's offensive, while Dazai is defensive. Acts so his opponent must react.

A nod at the different ways Fyodor and Dazai see other people. Fyodor seeing a tool and Dazai never forcing his hand.

They're both geniuses. No matter how one looks at it, they are both in possesion of severe intelligence. Interesting enough, it seems to affect them differently though. Simply put, while his genius gives Fyodor a god complex that makes him feel above other people, that same sort of genius makes Dazai feel separated from other people. Dazai is fully aware that he is just a person, a smart one, but just a person like everyone else. Maybe inhuman, maybe empty, maybe unable to ever feel whole, but no more a person than everyone else. Fyodor sees himself as basically just below god and above everyone else, thats he's superhuman and has special rights because of this.

Fyodor and Dazai move the pieces of their game uniquely. Fyodor in such a way its clear he holds no care for other people, views them (as I said above) as less than him due to their lack of (in his eyes) intelligence. In contrast to this, Dazai actually seems to care (granted in a backwards way) about his 'pawns'. Dazai values people. Maybe not all people, but he does value them. He listens to them, respects their insight and knowledge. Even admires them for their world views, despite not understanding them.

Interesting contrast exhibited here. Understandably, it's through the eyes of Atsushi (unreliable source for this analysis) but still interesting how of them are depicted.

I've heard before that Fyodor is Dazai without the restraint, and while this feels true, I'd argue it's not quite right. It boils down to motive. Fyodor's self professed motive is getting rid of abilities, Dazai's is fulfilling a dying friend's wish to do good.

Fyodor is Dazai loaded with a complex and harmful intent, dazai without the lack of ambition and numbness. Both of them two different sides of amoral, but Dazai is a vessel of circumstance while Fyodor is a creator and manipulator of circumstance.

---

Extra: Working of the assumption that Fyodor's ability doesn't work on fellow ability users (and the fact Dazai's works only on ability users for obvious reasons) one can play around with a few concepts. Note one such concept; Fyodor's ability, again working with the earlier assumption, destroys a person while Dazai's 'destroys' the ability. This would make for a very powerful foil.

in place of the “moral code” is an “honor code” in john wick. the morals are so hard to view and truly understand that the main focus instead is the honor assassins and emissaries have, the respect they have.

john is the main character and categorized as the “good guy” because he has a code of honor. obviously not because of a moral code because he canonically has the largest kill count out of everyone in the movies. unlike the antagonists— the “bad guys”, they have little to no honor or respect for anyone but themselves

This scene! Julieta's face! It summarizes perfectly her opinion on Mirabel!

First Mirabel impresses her! Here she's even whistling before Mirabel carrying a heavy box!

There I can totally imagine her thinking "My daughter is amazing"! Though she's probably musing on how Mirabel do a lot to be recognized by the family, especially Abuela.

Then we can see she's worried about Mirabel ! She doesn't want her to do too much, she'd like Mirabel to not forget to take care of herself! Especially since she's the only one to not be pressured to work. Julieta probably would like to see at least one of her daughters living a happy life.

It continues later too, when Julieta is reminding Mirabel that, if she ever wants to talk, she can come to her. She's even leaning toward her as way to show more intimacy, as if she's whispering to her. But Mirabel doesn't listen because she's too focused on proving herself.

One day I'll totally write an analysis on how Mirabel has good parents! I just wanted to share that cause I noticed it when watching again today.

[moonfireshadow]

Rewatched Saltburn and I'm obsessed with Farleigh and Oliver's tutoring scene. The essay specifically. For those who don't remember: Oliver did his homework and all his assignments and genuinely gave a well thought out essay for their summer assignments. Farleigh shows up hungover and late and didn't even read the books. But the teacher immediately loves Farleigh and is chatting him up with an interest he barely tried to show Oliver. Even after Oliver gives his presentation and shows that he's clearly a much better student than Farleigh. Obviously this is the real start of their rivalry. But it's also such a beautiful look into their characters and how they mirror eachother. Farleigh understands Oliver's essay, I believe. But like the teacher he's bored by it. The knowledge and work is there, but the presentation of it is boring and strange. Academic and correct, but lacking the appeal to the audience. (Which, can we talk about the fact Farleigh was genuinely listening at all? The teacher zoned out and switched channels, but Farleigh was interested and paying enough attention to know the exact number of times Oliver used the word "thus" in his essay. They respect each other truly even if they despise eachother at this point, and refuse to acknowledge the grudging respect.) So Farleigh does what he does best, he gloats over Oliver. He picks apart the style of the essay and it's presentation rather than addressing the central argument or topic. This delights the teacher and frustrates Oliver who is like, "so you're going to critique the style of my essay rather than it's substance? Seems a bit lazy" and that's the core component of these two characters.

Farleigh is ALL about presentation. He knows how fragile his pedistal is placed up and in view for everyone to see. He's a charity project, just like every other rando of the month. Sure he has some familiar connection, and that's given him a leg up in this world. But it's still shakey at best. He always has to give the correct performance, say the right words, keep his audience on HIS side. Unless he wants to get knocked down with the rest of the common rabal that he knows he's belongs with, but can't stand the idea of. So yes, of course he picks apart the one thing he knows Oliver is failing at. He takes his one advantage over Oliver and uses it mercilessly to both entertain and secure his audience on his side. (I wonder if the positions had been different some how, if Farleigh would have had anything to say about the substance of the essay itself. He was paying attention to it, did he want to have a real academic conversation? Did he possibly want to try and connect to Oliver in that way? A real and non performative way with someone who's so similar to him?)

As for Oliver, obviously his character is intelligent. He does the readings. He does the research. He puts the time and effort in to *learn* in the way Farleigh never does. And it must infuriate him that his essay is so easily pushed to the side for a cheep critique that doesn't even address the central argument of his essay. Of course he would hate Farleigh from the start for that. It's such a quick negation of all that Oliver has to offer and give just because it's not wrapped up in a pretty bow. And that's just his character. The substance is there, the intelligence is there. But it's not enough. It will never be enough. Because Oliver doesn't know how to translate it to his audience in a way they'll care about. He learns and tries to mimic, but it always falls short because he just can't seem to figure out the way to blend in and present himself so seamlessly as Farleigh.

And that's why they're such perfect mirrors of each other. They're both intelligent and clever. But they've found different ways of getting what they want and proving themselves. Farleigh is the face and the presentation, Oliver is the substance and body. In another world imagine what these two could have done and been if they hadn't been pitted against each other for the same prize. And the fact Oliver definitely deliberately shoved Farleigh out at the perfect time so he wouldn't get hurt and killed? Oliver and Farleigh respect and admire the other. But their tragedy is they can never be on the same page or team because the world they're in says there is only room for one. And they'd both do anything to get that title.

I’m gonna SCREAM-

We’ve already established as a fandom that Metatron could teach a masterclass on gas lighting, but I wanna talk about how he specifically validates the things Aziraphale cares for while simultaneously devaluing them under the surface.

First off, this moment?

Tells us everything we need to know. It sets the scene for exactly the games Metatron is playing. He makes Muriel feel important while openly insulting them (flat out calling them stupid), aka seamlessly reinforcing the idea that they’re less than to both them and anyone else in the room. He knows he can get away with this easily, he knows that Muriel, lonely, overlooked little Muriel, will be completely distracted by the fact that someone so important is taking an interest in them.

This is already horribly clever, but then later on you realize it’s doing even MORE heavy lifting when he appoints Muriel to run the bookshop. “See? What’s important to you is what’s important to me! I’ve graciously taken the time to ensure your beloved shop is looked after by Muriel. You know, the dim one!” …let’s suffice it to say he’s ensnared too birds with one net for this one, and that a pattern is already starting to arise.

So when Metatron says Gabriel came to Aziraphale because he’s a “natural leader” and “doesn’t just tell people what they wanna hear”? Yah he’s full of shit. Aziraphale struggles with his sense of purpose when he doesn’t have someone or something guiding him, and for thousands of years he’s been terrified of sharing his true feelings and opinions to 90% of people he’s known. Completely just trying to butter him up. Wanna know the real reason Gabriel seeks asylum with Aziraphale?

Exactly this. Gabriel just says so point blank. It’s not because Aziraphale is this person for him, it’s because despite knowing nothing, he has this instinct that Aziraphale is the only one who can possibly understand why Gabriel did what he did. He is, I mean as far as we know, the only other angel who has fallen in love. (In general, let alone with a demon.)

But nope, can’t have that. We can throw the promise of restoring Crowley in the mix to sweeten the pot, but we can’t acknowledge why he’d want that so badly in the first place. So now it’s cause they work so well together. We can praise the angel for the fallen archangel Gabriel himself coming to him protection and guidance, give him a gold star. But we couldn’t DARE imply that it was by virtue of Aziraphale’s courage to choose earthly love over heavenly. How Gabriel didn’t need a leader, but a friend who’s truly known the joys of adoring that “particular person” and the pain of needing to hide it.

Cause then Aziraphale would start getting crazy ideas, like that his silly little human feelings have a great deal of worth. That they have the power to inspire, form cracks in the institution, fundamentally weaken what has controlled and harmed him. We wouldn’t want him to know the true value of the cards he holds when he has the ace in a match against you, now would we? After all…

Metatron uses this ingeniously sinister tactic of taking away Aziraphale’s choice while giving the illusion that he’s actually opening up doors. Notice how he tells Aziraphale he would have the authority to do something as extraordinary as turn a demon into an angel, yet he never once puts the much simpler alternative of just working with a demon on the table? The sleight of hand here is that he’s being offered the opportunity to freely be with Crowley… but he’s already freely with him as is, no bargain to be made. In fact he fought to be. Metatron disappears this accomplishment right before our eyes, while seamlessly maintaining the illusion to Aziraphale that he (Zira) is in control.

He sets Aziraphale up for failure by only providing the option he knows Crowley will not only decline but be deeply hurt by. It’s all so cleverly planned. Once this plays out exactly how he wants, he delivers the finishing blow by diminishing Crowley and his “damned fool questions”. Suddenly doing a complete 180 and emphasizing how foolish and troublesome he is. Metatron was offering Crowley by Aziraphale’s side as The Carrot. Now he’s telling Aziraphale it was stupid of him to want The Carrot, un-heavenly.

Aziraphale’s life, love, happiness, it’s all not only a massive inconvenience for Metatron but a liability. He has successfully taken a weapon from Aziraphale’s hands he didn’t even know he had. Metatron sees the writing on the wall, and he wants it contained.

[shiraishi-kanade]

An Shiraishi does not have communication issues. An has many issues, but communication ones isn't one of them.

The actual reason she doesn't tell Kohane or the rest of VBS shit is because the moment she realizes any of her issues don't have a quick and reliable fix she switches to "fuck it, we ball" mindset about them and that's infinitely funnier and more interesting than her not being able talk things out.

I’m really sold on this being Chilchuck’s wife. We know they’re

childhood friends

the same age

and the black hair genes that Flertom has have to come from somewhere. And to me this seems like some sort of family friends gathering from when Chil was a kid. I doubt it’s just Chilchuck’s family bc we see none of his 5 siblings have black hair (except big maybe his older brother that’s only shown to have white hair from age), it could be the extended family from back when Flertom was a kid but I doubt it.

This page with the other party members too is all about family, community and routine, and gathering/dinners with tightly-knit half-foot family friends being commonplace, which ends up making the families’ kids childhood friends, doesn’t sound far fetched to me… But this is just a theory

Also the dragon plushie she’s holding~ Passed on from mother to daughter? The "most likely belonged to his daughters" is interesting too

Edit: wife real 13 January 2024?!!!

ive been thinking about the theory of abilities manifesting due to trauma, and i think there could be something more behind atsushi’s.

stormbringer spoilers!!// we know chuuya was an artificial ability experiment, like verlaine, but what if he wasn’t the only experiment? what if the orphanage staff were or were monitored by researchers who’d discovered the relationship between trauma and abilities, and tested their theory with atsushi?

like, he was put into this stressful environment where he was consistently abused and alone, seemingly for no reason, only for it to be revealed that his abusers knew about the tiger all along.

also, considering how lucy had such a similar backstory, she could also have been part of a similar experiment in america- like verlaine in france and chuuya in japan.

*dead apple spoilers*

In Dead Apple we see Atsushi getting tortured/experimented on by Shibusawa. At the time it seems pretty evident Shibusawa is trying to draw the ablity out to capture through his own ability. This ends when Atsushi goes tiger and kills him.

I always saw this as pre-orphanage, that he suffered under Shibusawa's hands, killed Shibusawa and then ended up in the orphanage. Under Shibusawa (who seemed very aware of the tiger) is when his ability first made an appearance, only switching on to protect itself and its host. (That could possibly be him as an experiment, but not after.)

Then in the orphanage we know the director absused him. And as he got older, the tiger got stronger, like at the beginning of the series. I don't think this was the director's intention, I don't think he even knew much about abilities. I fully believe he assumed his abuse would teach Atsushi control and discipline.

As for Lucy (who's from Canada I believe), I truly believe she to was just an orphan in an orphanage. Her ability is evident of a child seeking to escape a bad situation, a literal dollhouse and imaginary friend.

Saw an edit of Farleigh at the dinner table in THAT scene, so let's talk about that -

It's gonna be a take a lot of people disagree with, but I think this scene is more disturbing than any of the sex scenes/what have you throughout the movie. Bathtub scene? Iconic. Vampire scene? Loved it. Grave scene? Made the movie. This one genuinely had my skin crawling. Even if you take away the context of Felix having just died, that scene is so visceral because I know Farleigh in that moment. I can feel all my memories of meals like that where you're sobbing and everything is crashing down and everyone's pretending it's not being reflected back at me. The domestic horror of carrying on, of reaching the breaking point over and over only to be dragged back every time, never granted change. There's something so horrific and terrifying about that scene for me - Farleigh trying to force himself to eat the cold food, the disgustingness of it all. Always going to be 100 times more disturbing than a bit of tame nudity.

Also shout out to Archie Madekwe for his performance here because it is so real I could reach out and grab it.

The other day, when concentrating on Julieta to draw and colorize her, I realized wears green (well...Teal..), not really blue! It's almost blue actually but rather green...LIKE BRUNO! Meaning Julieta is still attached to Bruno!

saltburn rambles but. the scene where oliver carefully wraps his hand before punching the mirror is so emblematic of his character and decision-making. the way he can simultaneously seem so calculated and intentional and premeditated, while also being incredibly emotional and impulsive and reactive.

as much as oliver likes to convince himself his decisions are logical, he is fueled by his emotions. punching the mirror is purely a rage response; there's no masterminded ulterior motive to breaking the mirror. it's a destructive impulse that he can't control.

he can take the time to wrap his hand, to return to his room, to direct his anger. he can be smart about it and mitigate the damage. but it's still an emotional reaction. it's still impulsive. he's still not in control.

in the same way, he takes the time to poison the bottle of champagne, but that doesn't make him killing felix any less of an impulsive response to felix's rejection.

he isn't logical. he isn't a mastermind. he's a heartbroken kid, lashing out because he's feeling scary feelings, and lying to himself. because admitting he was in love with felix means admitting that he lost what he really wanted. and admitting he's not in control means that it was completely and utterly his own damn fault.
