THE DARK ERA - 黒の時代

(textless version below the cut)

#bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #bsd fanart #bsd oda #bsd odasaku #osamu dazai and the dark era #a little dark era piece inspired by wanderer above the sea of fog by caspar david friedrich #i was intending to do a nice gentle illustration in honour of oda but it has ended up very dramatic as often happens asdffdgsd #and then i thought it would look quite cool as a book/movie cover so i added the text and made a nice mock-up!#i'm always keen to do artwork that has literary influence on the characters' birthdays so i might try to do another small little drawing #but i think i just wanted to represent how cool he is as a character! and how atmospheric and moving this arc is #i think it's the point which heightened my interest in the series - oda is so interesting and lovely #he is so fundamental to so much of the narrative too - it's quite fascinating #...also dazai is technically here but i won't tag him asdfgfdg #botanautical #tw blood

I know I’m like half a year late to recommend it, but The Sin Squad just put out a great video on how difficult it can be to find actual dog whistles and problematic material in fiction versus paranoid reading (aka gearing yourself up to find a reading to such things where they might not be intended)

youtube

I recommend it for everyone to at least give it a few minutes if your time because it’s some solid work and high quality analysis!

Dazai: I hate you (affectionately)

Chuuya: I love you (sarcastically).

(Chuuya and Dazai start making out.)

Akutagawa: What the fuck? (literally)

"there was no reason/no point to that scene" / "that has nothing to do with her ability" the point is that yosano akiko penned erotic tanka with the same hand, heart, and wit with which she penned women are plunder and you shall not be killed, brother. the point is that anger and passion and eroticism and ardent love for life need not be wholly distinct.

bones, differently from but similar to the manga and light novels, intertwines yosano's healing and eroticism as facets of her passions. her fervency for the sanctity of life, her purring affection for viscera, and her lust comingle because they are not wholly separable, their roots entangling in the core of who she is.

in her own words:

Friends, please don't ask whatever remains of love. And don't preach to me. Let our poetry endure. It is the cross we bear.

***

Ignoring the ways of right or wrong, eternal life or lasting fame, we turn to face each other, loved and lover, face to face.

***

In return for all the sins and crimes of men, the gods created me with glistening long black hair and pale, inviting skin.

[from A River of Stars: Selected Poems of Yosano Akiko]

#yosano akiko #bsd #bsd yosano #bungo stray dogs #it was such a tame scene too #women characters need not be sexless sanitized and relegated to only the facets of themselves that are healer sister daughter advocate #in order to be respectfully depicted #what's wild is that scene is animated so carefully as to not fall into the typical objectification that plagues anime #there is literary value in the flesh

Mori Ogai; kindness and philosophy.

Mori is a very interesting character, and with that it comes the complexity of the character, since he is a complex character and not too much is known about him, its pretty often people in the fandom mischaracterizes Mori, so let’s talk about his kindness first.

In the official BSD guidebook, it is said that his strength is kindness and that his weakness is that he is uncertain whether he truly has the confidence of his subordinates.

Kindness is being selfless, caring, considerate and generous, is mori any of those things…? Actually yes. First let’s go with the selfless definition.

Selfless is being more concerned with the needs and wishes of others than with our own, unselfishness. Mori has shown to be concerned about Yokohama and the port mafia more than being selfish by just focusing on own needs, he has textually became the boss and therefore slave of the own organization, everything he does is for the better of Yokohama and the pm, Mori even helped Atsushi in his debut appearance despite it not giving any benefits to himself, there was no need to save Tanizaki and help Atsushi at all, yet he did.

He is caring towards those who are in the pm, even though some may die in missions he sent them to, he is shown to be sad when they die WITHOUT a reason, more than a hundred of his subordinates died because of a mission and he griefs over them because there wasn’t a good reason for them to die, after all mori is called “He who fell out to the optimal solution” isn’t he?

He is considerate towards (surprise) the pm and Yokohama, he puts Yokohama above EVERYTHING, even above personal wishes or needs, not to mention that he was generous to Higuchi admitting that Higuchi wasn’t suitable for the job but yet let her stay.

Now that the kindness topic is off the table, let’s go with his mindset and philosophy.

The philosophy that would suit him the best would be Niccolò Machiavelli’s philosophy. Niccolò Machiavelli thought that the end justified the means fully, he also thought that it was best to be both loved and feared, yet the two rarely go along, and anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in loved, but why? Because if people love you, they can still do things against you or your ideals, but if they fear you, they won’t.

Despite Niccolò not mentioning the word ‘philosophy’ in The prince or The discourses the word philosopher does appear (once) in The prince and 3 times in The discourses, Niccolò is seen as a philosopher himself by a lot of people, lets dive into his philosophy.

Niccolò thought that it would be excellent if a ruler had morals and all good things and none of the bad, but since it’s the nature of life that you cant have or practice al those qualities all of the time, a ruler must take care to avoid the disgrace that goes with the kind of failings that could make him lose his position, just as Mori thinks; the end justifies the means, if a ruler had morals it would be good, but it can’t be possible or it will lead to failure, it just isn’t possible, it isn’t affective.

Mori isn’t good on terms of morality, which may be contradictive to the first part where we were discussing kindness, however Mori is kind not because its just natural and no other intentions than good, he manipulates those people he is kind to, though not always, most of the time he manipulates. This is related to another thing Niccolò thought, was that you could be good, have morals, but not too much because its ineffective, you cannot be good because for you to be a good leader most of the time you have to be cruel, going back to the love and fear, you cannot control how or who people love but you can control who they fear. Have goodness is good, its good but its simply not affective, no matter how much people love you or claim they do, they can always lie, so why not lie to them too? Its better to be feared than lied that they supposedly love you but hate you and start conspiracies. People are cruel, selfish and deceiving, so why not be too?

A lot of people in bsd fear mori, others admire him, but almost none hate him, that shows how good of a leader mori is, and despite dazai and yosano hate him, yosano still fears him, and dazai didn’t always hate mori, dazai just started to hate mori because of what mori did with oda, yet dazai recognizes that it was the most logical solution, the only reason he ‘hates’ and I don’t think it can even be defined like that, I would say that its resentment, dazai wouldn’t kill mori, dazai has no wishes to become or even come back to the port mafia, and again that shows how good of a leader mori is.

Thank you for reading my analysis!
