Yes bsd is a great manga and anime with thought-provoking story and great characters with philosophical senses but they aren't equal with their real life selfess. The above-mentioned writers put their thoughts into writing for years despite mental illnesses, thought floods and depressions. Some of them wanted their ideas to be remembered, some of them had something they wanted to say, some of them wrote without caring about being read, some of them addressed the world, but there was always one person that they all touched. They deserve to remembered with their ideas and ideologies or at least stories. In Japanese literature, which bsd start with, almost everyone had an anonymous pen name, and the world of japanese literature developed with sources covered up and without archives. The spread of misinformation among fans of this anime, which has very few sources compared to derivative literature and mainly features real-life Japanese authors, has to stop or literarature will be ruined. No longer human is NOT an autobiography. These authors, novelists and poets AREN'T equal with their real-life selfess. Osamu Dazai liked to give his character pieces of his personality and branch out, but that doesn't make No Longer Human an autobiography. The motivations, goals and personalities of the writers are not exactly the same. Of course, when you look deeply, the obvious connections are woven in detail, but they are not exactly the same. When I typed Nikolai Gogol into Google, bsd Nikolai came up and I realized how dire the situation was. Nikolai Gogol deserve to remember as author and with books, stories, poems he write. I mean, if you say i like Nikolai Gogol and i am a fan of Nikolai Gogol, if you don't mention the anime cheracter i want to talk with you BOTH real life author and bsd or only real life. If you mention anime so it's okay lets talk but if you don't then no, you mention real life by mention only Nikolai Gogol you can't denial this. I want to kneel at Asagiri's feet and beg to him to write on manga and anime episodes "The characters in this manga have the same names as living authors and are inspired by them, but they are fictional characters and have no direct connection to the authors." So that fanlad can start to recognize the authors as authors. Now, for Osamu Dazai and Fyodor, it is said that the character in the book creates the anime character rather than the author's selfes. I read The Flowers of Buffoonery (the first story included No Longer Human's protoganist) and I can't reject this theory with certainty. So if we know characters in anime aren't their real life selfess we also understand theories. This is important. False information about writers should not be spread, of course, this does not mean that humor should not be made or shipped, we just need to be able to distinguish the difference. Even though we say Soukoku is literally canon, we must warn those who cite Osamu Dazai's book Memories as a source.
Books and authors life CAN use for characters motivation and connection because Asagiri literally did this. Memories book ia still important for age!15 manga and story just not for soukoku

Yes, the real Osamu Dazai was bisexual, but this has no connection to the anime. Fyodor Dostoyevsky also expressed his respect for Nikolai Gogol and quoted and praised him at every opportunity. Moreover, if the author dynamics in Russian literature are examined, it is possible that the two had a sincere conversation. (No historian has given this assurance and there is no evidence just a possibilty) Does this make Fyolai canon? Osamu Dazai imperessed by Fyodor Dostyevski. Or is Dostoyevsky a terrorist? Gogol?
....We cannot make these people, who wrote to keep their thoughts alive, appear to be someone they are not.
Imagine Osamu Dazai's situation. You are finally in peace that you never reach then you turn in to world to see peoples who look at you with no knowledge of you..
I am grateful to @bsd-bibliophile to all literature sources they archive
And if you like these NEVER stop ranting about characters, ship them and make memes. They are us, our loves and beloveds. They are bsd characters. Just stop using books as a source of ships.
What can i say bsd have a universe which ink of each letter written changes the fate of the next page. There are so much more thing to wonder

Self-Aware BSD meet the Internet. Short № 3
Description: After BSD gand gain an acsess to the rest of your phone, they also gain the acsess to the internet and YouTube. Unknown to you, they accompany you while you serf the Internet.
Slight Crack. OOC. Some dark humour in the A/N.
Self-Aware! Nikolai Gogol, Self-Aware! Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, Self-Aware! Platonic! Alexander Pushkin, Self-Aware! Katai Tayama
Dazai, Akutagawa, Yosano, Ango and Junchirou cameos.
[Y/N] are watching this video:
In your phone/ BSD Mayoi app.
Dazai: Why? Why our dear Guiding Light are looking at that creature?
Akutagawa: *huffs and glares at the pug* If they have a real dog, I hope, it could be trained and it won't bother us.
Yosano: Maybe our dear [Y/N] just love animals. Be easy, you two.
Junchirou:*thinks for a moment. Then spoke loudly* Hey, everyone, I have an idea. Let's add a new card to the game with someone of us will hold a pug. I will use Light Snow to create a pug illusion.
Everyone agrees. They start discussing, who will be on the card. Suddenly, Pushkin steps in.
Pushkin: I was browsing the Internet earlier and found a story about Pushkin and Gogol from [Y/N] world. Something about their world Pushkin giving a pug to their world Gogol. There also was a merchant in that story. Let's recreate it. Gogol and I, plus Fitzgerald on the background.
After some discussion, gang agree.
They were ready. Pushkin was handing a pug to Gogol. Nikolai looked surprised. And Fitzgerald was standing on the background, smiling. Ango took the photo. Then him and Katai add new SSR card in game and send it to your Gift Box.
[Next day]
In BSD Mayoi app
BSD gang heard you.
[Y/N]: New gift? Okay, let me see.
Suddenly, you became silent. BSD gang became nervous. You start Google something.
[Y/N]: Why, devs? Just why?
Everyone was confused. Why you didn't like the card?
Katai: *who was monitoring, what you were looking at* Um... Pushkin, have you read the whole story about the pug?
Pushkin: *shake his head* No. Why? Certainly it wasn't something aful in the story, right?
Katai: *instead of answering, he turn on the screen, where everyone can read, what you were reading*
When they finished reading, Pushkin was nervous, Fitzgerald and Gogol was angry.
________________________________
For the next three days, Nikolai Gogol were a noisy neighbor to Pushkin. While he wasn't playing music or singing, he made so much noise, that others started thinking, that Gogol really was making sacrifices.
Gogol calmed on his own. Fitzgerald's help wasn't needed.
As for you, you do like the card. But, you were wondering, why in the world Pushkin's sprites has bags under their eyes.
_______________________________________
A/N: Story about Gogol's pug. It never happened in reality.
Gogol loved his pug Josie very much. She was a gift from Pushkin. When the dog died (Gogol did not feed the animal for weeks), Nikolai Vasilyevich became really sad.
Gogol began to have nightmares. Once, in a dream, the pug told Nikolai Vasilyevich that he was the Master and High Priest of the Ecumenical Order of the Octagon.
From that day on, the life of Nikolai Vasilyevich changed dramatically: every night an incomprehensible sacrifices began to take place in his apartment. These events were accompanied by ritual dances and singing of the choir.
A few days later, Nikolai Vasilievich's neighbor, the merchant Skorobeinikov, beat Gogol up. The hallucinations stopped the same day.

4 Unserious Nikolai Headcanons (And an Obsessive Account of Their Sources)
Most of these I've developed from reading Gogol's stories and about Gogol himself, so hopefully they're more in-character and true to the nature of Nikolai's character than headcanons I've had before.
His actual birthday is March 29th, but he tells everyone in his life that it's April 1st. He hasn't celebrated his birthday on his actual birthday since he was twelve, and he takes great pride in and amuses himself endlessly with this fact. [Inspired by the fact that Gogol's birthday was on March 29th, but Nikolai's is April 1st in his info card. This is the headcanon I use to explain that discrepancy.]
He tells different names to different people. For example, when coming to Russia he somehow managed to get through customs with 'Nikolai Vasilievich Godel' (probably through some transliteration thing since italicised д (d) looks like an English-alphabet g). When he began his acting career, he would always submit himself under the name 'Nikolai Bezfamilny'. Meeting Fyodor for the first time, he introduced himself as 'Nikolai Nikolayevich Bashmachkin'. Technically, the first time he'd introduce himself with his actual last name--'Gogol'--would be when he joined the DOA, but I wonder whether his real name had any more significance to him than all the fake ones. [Inspired by a segment of 'Letters of Nikolai Gogol' by Carl R. Proffer, on pgs 10-11: 'Pogodin noted it was amusing to travel with Gogol because of another peculiarity—his extreme dislike of showing his passport or revealing his name. He often gave fictitious names (like Gogel or Gonel), and when required to produce his passport he would begin swearing at the customs or police official in Russian—but in a sweet and apologetic intonation which, accompanied by appropriately humble gestures, often made the Italian relent and let him pass.']
He makes up little stories (often by greatly embellishing reality, but sometimes manufacturing it completely) to tell people, usually on the spot and usually with the main intent of shocking or getting some extreme reaction from them. Sometimes it may happen that he'll tell one person (who happens to fear geese) an interesting anecdote about seeing a flying goose steal the scarf off a gentleman near the Novaya Gollandiya Island, and when the gentleman tried to go after it, it pecked him mercilessly until, as he fled, he fell into the water. Later, maybe while telling Fyodor about his day, he'd mention offhandedly that he saw a scarf floating near the far bank, wondered how one might lose a scarf in a river, and thought it a shame for such a nice scarf to get soggy. [Inspired by my finding in several different books on Gogol instances where he likely embellished or made up stories or anecdotes, one of which can be found in 'Gogol' by Vladimir Nabokov in '1. His Death and His Youth' section 5 (I also have a thread with faux-ee here discussing the amusing story of how Gogol accidentally convinced his mother that he contracted a sexual disease): ‘I have finished reading Evenings near Dikanka,’ wrote Pushkin to a friend. ‘An astounding book! Here is fun for you, authentic fun of the frankest kind without anything maudlin or prim about it. And moreover–what poetry, what delicacy of sentiment in certain passages! All this is so unusual in our literature that I am still unable to get over it. I had been told [Gogol himself imparted the information to Pushkin, and very likely had made it up] that when the author entered the printing house where the Evenings were being set, the printers started to chuckle and splutter with mirth; whereupon the overseer explained their hilarity by confessing to the author that they were splitting their sides while setting his book. Molière and Fielding probably would have been glad to make their compositors laugh. I congratulate the reading public on a truly gay book.’]
Nikolai comes from Mirgorod (literally translates to 'Peace Town' as far as I can tell), a small town in Ukraine's Poltava province. He was born as the second (though eldest surviving) son of one of the two landowning families in the town. The town itself is rather small, and peculiarly, it seems to have stopped developing somewhere during the early- mid-1830s. Though he went off to a boarding school at age twelve, until then, he'd had no encounters with the 'outside world'. [Inspired by the fact that Kenji comes from Ihatovo, which is a fictional place written by his namesake. Though Mirgorod is an actual place in Ukraine, I'd still like to use the fact that it's the setting of Gogol's 'The Tale of how Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich' to let this headcanon exist. Also, the boarding school is just a rip-off of Gogol's childhood.]

Anastasia to Nicholas II 28th October/10th November - 29th October/11th November 1914
“My precious and good Papa darling!
We just finished dinner. So I am sending you my nice picture. I am sure that you will be very happy. Today I sat with our soldier and helped him read, and it was so pleasant for me. He learned to read and write with us. Two more died yesterday, we even sat with them earlier. This evening Mama is leaving to Pskov with Olga, Tatiana, Olya and Anya. Today it was five degrees of warmth, but there was snow mixed with rain and rather strong wind, but not a gale. Right now Ortipo is running after Tatiana around the room. Mama is expecting Maklakov at 9 o’clock and Malama is coming too, this is very nice. I took this picture in the mirror, and it was hard because my hands shook. How is Nikolai Pavlovich? Well, I made a stain [on the letter] because Olga butted in. I had seven lessons today, and tomorrow four or five. Just came in, ending the little governor. It was very pleasant. Yes sirree! I have not written to Aunt Olga for a long time. Olga is hitting Marie, and Marie is screeching, like a foolish Dragoon, such a big fool. Well Malama just got here, is sitting in a chair with the sisters. Olga asked to send one more big kiss to you. I already washed up and now it’s time to go to bed. Tomorrow I will finish writing to you. Mama asked me to tell you that she spoke with Maklakov and that he has set everything up and that all is well. She sends you a very big kiss and is sorry she cannot write because she has no time. Tatiana sends a big kiss. Greetings, Your Imperial Majesty. Good morning. I am going to tea. Slept well without Mama and the sisters. I now have a Russian lesson and Pyotr Vasilievich is reading ‘Notes from the Hunter’ by Turgenev to us. Very interesting. Maria and I are working, I am using needles, while Maria a hook. Today is is 5 degrees of warmth, all the snow is gone and it is windy. Right now I will have the arithmetic [lesson]. Maria and I went to our soldiers. One of them does not know grammar, so I will bring him a notebook and a pencil. Then we will probably go to the warehouse. Well it started raining, so nasty. Alexei got a letter from you and was terribly happy. We already had breakfast. Now Marie and I will go to our infirmary, they brought Nikolaev there, the former officer of the Svodny Regiment. I wish you all the best. Regards to Nikolai Pavlovich. I send you 1000000 big kisses. Your loyal and faithful loving daughter, 13-year-old God’s Servant Nastasia (Shvybzik). May God keep you! Come back!!! Soon.”

The year is 1829. Young Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol, a judicial clerk in the Third Section of His Imperial Majesty's Own Chancellery in St. Petersburg, suffers seizures on the job, falling into a semi-conscious state in which he is pursued by strange visions and writes seemingly meaningless words. The timing of his seizures coincides with acts of murder committed elsewhere.

I'm having trouble deciding how much I should localise. On one hand, calling him 'Nikolai Nameless' gets across the jarring feel and strangeness of the name, which is what I'm going for with the name in the first place. But on the other hand, 'Nikolai Bezfamilny' is what his name actually transliterates to, and I think it sounds a bit better, though I'm worried no one will get it.
