theory: fyodor’s ability is harming him
first off, i’d like to say this will probably be a very long post of my ramblings which may or may not make sense lol. if you spot any grammatical errors it’s because english isn’t my native language so i apologize. i took some inspiration from https://ratstoyevsky.tumblr.com/post/657013568752992256/fyodor-dostoyevsky-bungou-stray-dogs-ability , so please go check that post out :)
ever since fyodor first appeared, he’s been one of my favourite characters to analyze. we know virtually nothing about him - not even how old he is and most importantly, how his ability works. he’s been shown to only divulge the information he wants his enemies to know so he can always have the upper hand.
in the manga, he’s shown to be frail and weak looking with bags underneath his eyes — he’s also shown to be using his non threatening appearance to his advantage. honestly, i find the emphasis on fyodor’s appearance interesting and i think it’s intentional on asagiri’s part.
in chapter 42, fyodor says that he has anemia. in the same chapter, ace refers to fyodor as a “soulless, vampire like man”.
according to the dead apple official guidebook:
he has a pattern of surrounding himself with light colored, white haired men (ivan, nikolai, hawthorne, sigma, fukuchi, bram, shibusawa) which is in stark contrast to his black hair. white, in the bible and today, is associated with purity, innocence, cleanliness — all the things fyodor isn’t and all he wants to be.
so this begs the question - why is fyodor so unhealthy? personally, i think it has to do with his ability. we don’t know how his ability works exactly, but i think the mechanics of it have something to do with blood. both times we’ve seen him use it on someone, blood starts bursting from their body. i don’t think it’s a coincidence fyodor just so happens to be anemic.
i think fyodor’s ability is taking a toll on him or harming him somehow everytime he uses it, which is why he has anemia. i’m also saying everytime he uses it, because from the looks of it it’s not always active like no longer human is. but then again it could be, he hasn’t used it enough times for us to know. it could also tie into why he hates ability users so much: he’s the only one that has to suffer for using his ability. my 2 reasons for thinking this are: 1. when talking to karma in chapter 42, he says:
2. what he says in dead apple:
notice how fyodor is the one saying “i am crime” and his ability is the one saying “i am punishment”. just like ace, fyodor’s crime is merely existing; his crime is being an ability user and that’s why he’s being punished by his own ability. not only does he punish others for being sinners, he himself gets punished for being one. just like he said: “crime and punishment are close friends” fyodor’s ability is the punishment to his crime.
it also makes sense when you take crime and punishment, the book itself, into consideration. raskolnikov comitted a crime he wasn’t caught for, but his conscience tormented him to the point of confessing.
anyway i’m not sure if any of this makes sense, i hope you had fun reading at least 😭 all of the manga scenes are taken from dazaiscans !!

Hey! So, this is Red, usually known as akai-koutei. My main account, with that url, has been closed due to the predictable reason. In the last couple of days the same has happened to both my twitter and carrd.
It’s kind of doubtful that my tumblr acc will be recovered; I’m making my attempts at that, but in the meantime and possibly onwards, I’ll be here, on this other account I thankfully already had.
I’d be very thankful for my reblogs to this post so that the BSD community and my followers can reach me again for good measure.
I’ll be posting any further updates on the situation, me and my content on this account.

Great Pretender Debut Episode - First 5 Minutes
A post obsessing over the animation style, aesthetics, colour schemes, etc. in the first five minutes of the debut episode of Great Pretender. Mainly photos. I will use the term streaks to represent odd shapely lines in this post.
I love that the Hollywood sign isn’t just plain white & has different shades of colours that work really well together.
The outlines of the objects here aren’t the normal / regular black colour and it’s refreshing to see different colours used together
The shadows, their colours, their lines. The way some objects ( fridge, window, tiles, container above fridge, etc.) used a ruler and some don’t ( flyer, towel hanger, towel, etc. )
The outlines of the leaves. The railings. The plants. The only thing that is black-outlined is the person and the umbrella.
The way the sun comes into the room. The weird-but-it-works shadow on the calendar. The characters not being of a typical black outline but brown to fit the tone of the room. The sharp contrast of the previous rainy cold colours to a sunnier warm theme.
The stove. The sunbeam from the other window is still prevalent. The cleaning supplies and other small objects. The fridge being consistent.
The picture frame. Old telephone thing. Light switch (?). The wall streaks. The flower. The glass frame.
The calendar still having that same weird streak. The center wall not being a fixed colour. The fridge having blue streaks that WORK. The cabinets on both sides. The hanging things.
The coloured bottles. The basket. The uneven curtains. The tiles.
The buildings’ character. The sky being straight lines. The city in the back.
The details of this store. The stairs. The garbage cans (?). The interrupted red and white.The sidewalk.
The products in the store. The plants. The sidewalk / curb. The pink square things (?) on the shop entrance. The paper notes / tags by the products in the store. The blue hanging thing.
The minimal detail on the figure itself but the immense detail on the blurred / out of focus background.
The blue-greens. The roof. The plants. The sidewalk. The bollards. The people. The signs. The backpack and purse of the family on the left. This scene was very short and the amount of detail is astounding.
The people becoming blue silhouettes. The slanted roofs. The colour palette / scheme / theme for the buildings. The top of the roofs.
The background becoming increasingly 2 dimensional. The pagoda is so simple. The cityscape. The rough outlines of the trees.
As of now, this is only the first 5-ish minutes ( up until the title sequence ). Documenting all the scenes in the episode is a lot of work & laziness is my best friend.
