Hi. It has been a while. I will be addressing my thoughts throughout the last two months. Feel free to skip if you don’t care.

First of all, apologies for vanishing in a sudden and leaving all the materials untranslated or any other work behind, and also thank you guys so much for the supportive messages and comments.

I have actually been struggling about whether to drop the series since mid 2021. I have never publicly talked about it because I did not want to bring any negative energy to the community. I decided to continue because first, I am running this fanpage and second, I was still hopeful towards the author and the officials. Yet since various announcement and release in late 2021 (e.g. stage plays, live action movie, main manga etc.), I no longer have faith and respect to them. With all the sentiments have been accumulating in the past few months, and I think it’s time to take a break.

This is the only reason why I decided to go on a hiatus. It is nothing about the characters or whatsoever. I simply 1. get disappointed by the story and 2. disagree with the business approach of the BSD officials.

Being able to understand Japanese allows me to be exposed to more source of information and hence made me have a different set of opinions comparing to the mainstream English fandom. I deactivated this Instagram account in the first few weeks of January because I received lots of hate messages. Surely no one would feel happy for receiving hateful comments, but I accept that this is something I signed up for when I decided to make this account public. Nevertheless, I never regret for what I have ever posted or said, and I am very thankful that there are many people agree with me and support my views.

Now, I will keep both my Instagram and Tumblr account for anyone who wants to reread my post, or for my potential comeback to the fandom.

So far, I don’t see myself coming back to BSD / BSD fandom anytime sooner. Still I don’t want to completely exclude the possibilities of it. As long as BSD returns to the style that I love, where it talks about the reasons of living, the significance of salvation or the philosophical meaning behind war and conflicts etc., I think there is still a chance that I am returning. But for the time being, I am afraid that I am going to leave.

Last but not least, I would like to express my deepest and sincerest thank you to Nika, Granny and Emma for all the assistance offered in my discord server, as well as my mutuals Sara, Kira, Q-san, Alex, Vic, Yosi etc. for defending me, together with all the love and support.

Hopefully I will see you soon. Goodbye.

There are a number of asks piled up in my asks box and I am very sorry that I still haven’t replied. Most of the questions I got are very specific inquiries about the novels. As I cannot remember every single details from each novel, I would like to go back to check on it in order to deliver the most accurate answers. Unfortunately I don’t have time to reread these days because of the personal workload. Just want to let you guys know that I will surely reply to your asks one day. Thank you so much for your patience(๑･̑◡･̑๑)

when this sentence appeared, I thought of this meme right away

Some quick spoiler-y thoughts on 55 minutes under the cut:

okay the pain. like can we have one story without immense pain?? I guess we cannot but that's what I signed up for so it's all good

actually Akuatagawa dying isn't good like he remembers his own death and that's so messed up he literally burned alive like that's traumatising

but it gave me so much to think about so I appreciate it

but still I was going crazy

actually all the death scenes are something to think about

if 55 minutes ever gets a movie I'm gonna be crying

on the positive note my akuhigu ass was so well fed??

I thought they had only one scene but they have more

Akutagawa had a whole plotline and it made me so happy

and he laughed!

and it was with Higuchi

and she was so happy about it

and I was giggling

someone help me

but seriously I like their power balance

writing about it would probably be fun but all of my braincells burned along with Yokohama

but going back to the sad stuff, Atsushi protection squad initiate immediately, someone needs to take him on a vacation

he literally packed board games for a mission??

please Atsushi can I be your friend?? I'll learn how to prepare chazuke for you!

55 minutes really proves that I spoke the truth in my Atsushi analysis like it proves at least half of the points I made there

and Dazai in a trashcan is the new Fyodor in jail

they were made for each other, true soulmate behavior

being obsessed with staying in very specific places

I remember seeing people wonder whether Yosano could heal Dazai in that small window between being nearly dead and really dead and now I have the canon answer so that's very cool (thanks Asagiri, one less thing to keep me up at night)

but really I thought about the "but never zero" meme before the sentence even ended and afterwards I started laughing and had to take a break and write down a note to make a meme out of it

the plot was so interesting but I started getting a bit lost so I'll need to read a summary to put all the pieces togather (which is cool, I like reading summaries)

but it was so much lore

I love lore

and Wells

can't wait for the analysis of her equations

I think it may actually be my favourite light novel

it delivered everything I wanted

but then again the rest is equally good so I can't choose my favourite one for sure

yeah it was supposed to be a quick note but seriously 55 minutes is so intriguing

as much as I don't like time travel stuff, I didn't mind it here

the usage was cool

it's officially my favourite time travelling story, that's for sure

so in conclusion, 55 minutes is amazing and we don't talk about it enough!
