#well it's dead but it is a rat

[an-ocean-viewer]

I became too busy once again.

Things I liked about the 5 days I was missing #7 to #11 (in no particular order.. just writing as it pops up in my head)

1. Friends and I had a heated argument. Managed to calm the situation down and even helped mend my friend's relationship with another friend they have beef with. I am very cool

2. Joined a pageant. I didn't get picked as a contestant but I think I did alright. I had the highest score of all the boys, a solid 95/100. However the way I 'strutted' on the runway leaves a lot to be desired. It was my first time so I'm not in the wrong. I also don't watch pageants. But when they told me to "Get everyone's attention for more points" my interpretation of that was awfully different. I now know that yelling "ATTENNTIONN!!!" like an army sergeant in a drill is not the way to "Get everyone's attention". Was definitely a lot of fun tho.

3. Had a wonderful time with my friends and we vibed while talking about random stuff.

4. Took a picture with a pretty woman (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

5. Dogs captured the noisy rat that was plaguing our roof. The rat went down to get food and my dogs activated hunting mode

6. Finished the 100 items math homework that was copy and answer w/ complete solutions

7. New notebooks that look like books ✨✨

8. New notebooks smell like books✨✨

9. Friend told me they felt like playing a Minecraft Zombie Apocalypse (last time we tried, Aternos Free Server Hosting couldn't handle our pack). So, I created a lightweight zombie apocalypse modpack

10. I never had this much fun playing while simultaneously being scared shitless.

11. After our first session, we agreed that us being able to build walls were too op..... so, I made some of the zombies able to break blocks and now none of us are safe. Doesn't help that some of the zombies have lots of health and good armor and sometimes get speed boosts. It was amazing to experience

12. We made changes to the music and by the gods I swear the atmosphere is just mwah, chef's kiss. Or maybe being chased by a pack of zombies while C418's piano lofi set a low standard. Either way, mwah. The atmosphere is amazing

13. Discussed our thesis concepts with my groupmates and made significant progress

14. We had a consultation for our thesis, first experience with doing so despite having done a handful of dissertations myself.

15. Received a thank you for cheering someone up. Definitely a highlight of the past five days.

16. Wrote a short story for a friend as an example of how to use Tarot Cards for story telling. It was about a prodigy wizard stagnating, becoming depressed, finding someone they could mentor who never gave up, and them being affected by that mentality and finding the courage to save his town from a dragon.

How Fyodor will escape Meursault and how he's communicating with the outside

This is a continuation of my theory on Fyodors true ability here

Most of the evidence is in the linked post.

TL;DR Fyodors ability manifests with a face and a different outfit which no other ability does... except Elise. It also doesn't attack him and is able to merge with him without its gem being destroyed.

If Elise manifests with a face because she has one even outside of the fog, could that mean that Fyodors ability is able to manifest as a copy of him even outside of the fog as well? And if so how will that play into the current arc?

This panel is what really convinced me something was up

"...You can't kill me."

not "You can't kill me, like this" or "This won't be enough to kill me" just simply "You can't kill me"

Why? why can't Dazai kill him, even if he had a skill of immortality Dazai would only have to touch him and he'd be defenceless. So why...?

I think its because he's not even there to begin with, even if Dazai defeats this Fyodor, the real one is still out there.

It would perfectly call back to the ending of "The Cannibalism"

Imagine it. Dazai, after the long and frustrating back and forth, finally confronts Fyodor. He reaches to touch him.

"It doesn't matter if I don't know your ability, it will be useless against me"

Only for Fyodor to vanish the moment he touches him. leaving Dazai, Sigma and Chuuya shocked.

"He got me... The rat was never here to begin with."

It also explains a ton of other stuff Fyodor's been able to do in the series:

It explains how he was able to poison the Order of The Clock Tower agents in the plane.

How he's able to seemingly disappear from the roof top in TUO.

Why he personally stabbed Mori and shot Katai.

He never actually put himself in danger, he simply wanted other people to think he could be anywhere at any time.

It would also explain how he's 'Communicating' with the outside, he isn't. The Fyodor on the outside is simply acting the same the Fyodor on the inside would, so he knows how things will play out. Dazai can never figure out his method of communication if there is no communication in the first place. He simply knows himself so well he can guess exactly how things are going outside.

I also want to point out Fyodor's epithet: The Conjurer

What does a Conjurer do? They make things appear out of nowhere! it fits perfectly.

Fyodor is using that power to trick people into thinking he is omnipotent, by seemingly affecting things out of his reach he feels like a god, organising events exactly how he wants. But in reality there is another Fyodor doing the leg work.

I want Fyodor to come back all beaten and broken and crazier than ever. Like he didn't have many normal person morals to begin with but I want him to throw all of that away for his cause. He's scarred and burned and has lost an arm, which he promptly switched for a metal one but he's alive. The decay of the angel doesn't exist anymore and neither do the rats in the house of dead. It's just Fyodor and Nikolai now and they're both equally insane.

I want Fyodor to be driven by hate and vengefulness. I want him to stop at nothing to see Dazai dead. I want him to be wrapped in bandages from the crash and I want Dazai to realise just how much he looks like his own past self. Fyodor is the worst version of what Dazai could've been, now more than ever.

Fyodor wants to compare his return to the resurrection of Jesus Christ but the truth is that he's nothing like him, fuelled by hate rather than love for the people. He is everything he never wanted to be but that thought doesn't even cross his mind.

He will cleanse the world of sin at all cost, starting with those who made him this way.

#logically he should be dead #but I dont believe it #that rat is alive #i can feel it in my bones #bsd Fyodor #bsd dostoevsky #though i do usually spell it Dostoyevsky #bsd dostoyevsky #bsd theory #i guess #aria what? #what should i tag this as? #shluld I just make a theory tag? #that feels lame when im just rambling on about stuff like this though #eh i'll probably make more theories in the future so I might as well #aria theorises #woohoo! #fyodor dostoevsky #bsd spoilers

Never thought I’d be feeling this defensive over Buddy Dawn but here we are

#For the most part people seem sad that he died even if they don’t like him #but I honestly don’t understand why people dislike him so much when he’s literally so similar to a younger version of Kristen #I’ve seen some say he’s had ‘evil’ or bigoted moments but I honestly don’t even know what they’re talking about #I’ve only ever read buddy as a misguided but well intentioned and extremely sheltered kid who’s also probably an unwitting pawn #I’ve only ever felt pity and fondness and hope for buddy that he’ll see the more harmful parts of helioic practice and denounce them #I don’t even care if he stays a cleric of helio as long as he doesn’t agree with their more directly harmful beliefs and practices #and I really hope he still gets the chance to combat all of that whether it’s as a cleric of helio or any other god or no god at all #he was just a kid and he still had so much to learn and experience and now he might never get the chance #all because he was a little too sheltered and a little too naive #I’m not ok you guys #like fuck all the other rat grinders he’s the only one who I want to have a redemption arc #and now he’s fucking dead #😢 #buddy dawn #fantasy high

ok so your first problem was assuming mdzs is a story where Good People are Rewarded and Bad People are Punished.

your second problem was assuming that MXTX—who goes out of her way to showcase unresolved, tragic, undeserved endings in all of her works—would ever write a story with such a shallow notion of “deserving.”

the only reason wangxian makes it out unscathed is because they’re literally the protagonists. authorial intent and plot armor ensure their happy ending. that’s it.

#mdzs talk #moi #i mean it also helps that neither wwx nor lwj give a rats ass about the rest of the cultivation world #wwx had already fucked off and lwj was basically doing that too #that man has never given a single shit about politics and maintaining good relationships #like what does it say about you if even jiang cheng is a better politician than you. #mister ‘don’t talk to me before i’ve had my coffee. or after. just don’t fucking talk to me.’ #but yeah wangxian is like oh we helped to create a massive power vacuum and destabilized the entire cultivation world? #ahaha no way!🤪 hey actually can this wait? my husband and i wanna go fuck in the bushes 🥰 #like. lwj that’s YOUR brother that just lost his most significant emotional support of the last decade. #wwx that’s YOUR pseudo nephew whose parental figure you just got killed. #that’s YOUR pseudo nephew who now has to become sect leader at like 15. #but nah they wanna go bang on the side of the road #god forbid they try to clean up some of the gigantic mess they helped to make #and nobody try to argue ‘well but jgy!!’ buh buh buh nothing. jgy cleaned up after himself. #neither wwx nor lwj had ANY personal stake in seeing jgy dead. lwj SHOULD have had a personal stake in keeping him alive actually. #i still think it’s super shitty and hypocritical of lwj to defend wwx so strongly and yet try so hard to condemn jgy in PRIVATE #both wwx and lwj really showed their asses at guanyin ngl. obviously huaisang did too. #like yeah it’s noble and righteous or whatever but like. righteousness was not why lwj defended wwx before. #wangxian stans being self-righteous and hypocritical? with classist double standards? with black and white mentality? #wow! who would have ever guessed?

Mannn. Honestly all of owen's new life videos have been pretty good. I do however dislike the direction that Sparrow's character went in as i do not think that Sparrow was originally meant to be a tragic character? Sparrow was all about discovery and invention and that felt very lost towards the end of the series.

I wanted sparrow to learn how he was 'wrong about his perceptions of hybrids (although not even im fully sure what exactly that means) and his worries didnt feel conclusive (being afraid of not being "hybrid" enough? He had never mentioned that worry before) and although he does loose touch on himself i feel that him sealing himself away in his tomb wasn't really what i was expecting? Like i thought overall the tone would be a little bit happier and more about discovery and uniqueness like at the start of the series but that just completely dropped off.

Honestly i think instead of the ending being "sparrow murders his friends and rebents by locking himself in a place where he is not happy, is at risk and is not his true self even though its for a noble cause" i think it would have been really cool to see Sparrow choose to be human again as a nice way to tie it all back to the start of the series and feel satisfying.

Honestly i would have liked him use the machine MORE and to still choose to be himself rather than the skulk spreading storyline but idk. Id also would have liked there to be more connection to the theme of friends

Because ALL throughout new life Sparrow focuses on making friends. Heck even in the ending animatic it shows his friends so that link is definetly still there, but it feels odd that it ends in Sparrow murdering two of his friends (sausage, who he got closer to although maybe not friends as such and Scott, who was his best friend).

Also wait how come he wrote in a book at the end instead of recording it with the camera? Wouldnt it have made more sense to record it into the thing that has been showing the whole adventure rather than a book that has no relation to the story ? Lol. The animatic was awesome however

#new life smp #also sue me i dont like skulk spreading storylines i think theyre boring #like owens was cool with what he did do to it but i do not think it was flawless #that being said i did really enjoy new life smp i just wish it hadnt dropped off #i think also part of the reason why thr serious angst didnt sit well with me was because i just. i cant take it seriously anymore which #is a me thing #and thr knowlege that the server was dead kind of tipped me off towards the end #idk on rats smp all of the players were online at the same time making it a much better story environment #same with outsiders i believe but dont quote me #so it may just be that owen's stuff may be better suited to full-time roleplay servers since he had. a pretty ambitious character and story #line to play #and due to other players dropping off due to the faaaaarrrrr too many lives availible and a lack of general hype i understand that owens #storytwlling was likely comprimised idk #okay anyway this being said i did love sparrow and i do love owens stories and such i just think that nlsmp was a bit rough around the #edges in terms of storytelling #new life smp spoilers #new life sparrow #nlsmp
