…the strange way in which love can torture the heart with desire…

神島にて、三島由紀夫が『潮騒』取材中に滞在していた寺田家を、宿泊した旅館にお願いして案内してもらいました。

①寺田家に続く階段

②『潮騒』の登場人物、漁業協同組合長「宮田照吉」のモデルになった寺田宗一さん宅。現在はどなたも居住されていません。

③寺田家の屋根越しに臨む景色。島の電気供給に大切なケーブルは、まるで空に線を引いたように見えます。

④玄関を入ってすぐ。左側には原作の通り、急な傾斜の梯子階段がありますが、本当に梯子のように急な傾斜で撮影出来ませんでした。

⑤三島由紀夫が朝6時半に起きる毎日を過ごしていた2階のお部屋。

⑥2階の窓から三島由紀夫も眺めたと思われる眺望。

⑦三島由紀夫から寺田宗一さんへの贈り物など、所縁の品々。赤い机は当時、三島由紀夫が実際に使用していたもの。奥に山口百恵さんのパネルが❗️

⑧三島由紀夫のサインの入った品々。左上はシガレット入れの付いたライター、右上はその外箱。

⑨怖い程、澄み切ったエメラルドカラーの神島の海。

当時、28歳だった三島由紀夫が、

「人口千二、三百、戸数二百戸、映画館もパチンコ屋も、呑屋も、喫茶店も、すべて「よごれた」ものは何もありません。この僕まで忽ち浄化されて、毎朝六時半に起き���ゐる始末です。ここには本当の人間の生活がありさうです。たとへ一週間でも、本当の人間の生活をまねして暮すのは、快適でした。」と川端康成宛の手紙に書いたように、現在も映画館、パチンコ屋、そして呑屋はありませんが、宿泊した旅館の姉妹店でもあるかわいい喫茶（軽食）店が時計台の隣にありました。

人口は昭和28年当時、1,200〜1,300人となっていますが、2022年で402人に…。澄んだ海のように島の人々は快活、気さく、親切で働き者ばかり、しかし荒波で知られる伊勢湾の海を相手に命懸けの漁業をされるのですから、遊びに来たのがちょっぴり恥ずかしくなるような旅でした。

October Books

1. The Sound of Waves by Yukio Mishima

9/10. I have a small hole in my heart that is Japanese literature shaped, and the fact that it took me this long (and a requirement for a class) to read this was a crime. I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially with how happy of an ending it was. I really needed that pick me up after September.

2. Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

4/10. I wanted to love this and by no means did I hate it, I just dislike the class I had to read this for. Also, because of other people in that class not participating, we were getting quizzes each class on the book, which turned reading it into studying it which just wasn't great. It was still well written and I quite enjoyed the usage of language and how the dialog was written.

3. No Longer Human (Manga) by Junji Ito

9.5/10. No Longer Human is genuinely one of my favorite novels to date, so when I first heard of the manga version I knew I had to read it and I was by no means disappointed. Ito's art style is perfect for this novel and I love the changes that Ito made to the story (Takeichi's suidide, meeting Dazai in the mental hospital, and the ending in general). I also especially loved how at the very beginning we see Dazai and Sachi sitting on the river bank and then at the very end we see the newspaper on Yoichi's kite detailing his death. It was tragic, but it also felt like closure. I'm not sure how problematic it is to say, but I do, unfortunately, relate to Yozo due to multiple things he has said (particularly about the clown like persona, and the feeling of not being human, though that's for another time). I don't want to keep going on, but know that I definitely can.

4. Goodbye, Eri by Tatsuki Fujimoto

8/10. Loved the art and the story, especially how it's only learned near the end how Yuta's mother was actually rather abusive/harsh with him. Honestly, the ending did confuse me a bit with Eri being a vampire (I'm not sure if this is a hallucination or real?) but the explosion at the end made me oddly happy.

5. Chainsaw Man volume 13

7/10. Loved the 'Goodbye, Eri' reference after Mitaka became the war devil. Other than that, amazing art as usual. Angel, Kobeni, and Cosmo/Halloween Devil, I still miss you.

6. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

?/10. I definitely didn't. . . hate it. . . but I'm not sure if I liked it. I'm conflicted. Yeah. Ari and Dante's getting together was cute though. . . okay next book.

Some random thought

I still cannot get over how Hatsue is described by the author...

#if you know you know #yukio mishima #the sound of waves #i know authors have written women worse #but still

[crucifiedlovers]

The boy felt a consummate accord between himself and this opulence of nature that surrounded him. He inhaled deeply, and it was as though a part of the unseen something that constitutes nature had permeated the core of his being. He heard the sound of the waves striking the shore, and it was as though the surging of his young blood was keeping time with the movement of the sea’s great tides.

September Books

This month was,,hectic and busy to day the least, so here are the books I'm currently reading:

1. Babel by R.F. Kuang

2. The Sound of Waves by Yukio Mishima

3. their eyes were watching god by Zora Neale Hurston

Now onto the books I've ACTUALLY read:

1. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

8/10. Love me my gays (sorry Basil). Good writing too. Love you Oscar<3. Anyways, it was a little too slow for me, however overall it wasn't a bad read

2. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

7/10. This is technically a reread but whatever. The dark academia/remus and regulus kin parts of my soul were aching after only reading manga for so long and this September is healing it one classic novel at a time, so of course Franenstein would be on my list to read. I enjoyed it, and like how in the book Victor never says how he created the monster for fear of the reader attempting to do what he did. It was a fun little touch. Rereading this also brought back memories of my Junior year literature class where we had a "gender reveal" party for the monster and got to read the book and eat food. Very nostalgic, even though I didn't really enjoy it that much.

3. Uzumaki Volumes 1-3 by Junji Ito

8.9/10, I now fear spirals. That being said, this satiated my horror need, and the art was very nice as well.

ughh i wanna put a bratty sub in his place so bad!! :((

i wanna make him think he’s got the upper hand until the last minute, to watch the look on his face when he realises that he’s been playing right into your hand the entire time; that every moment leading up to this was just a carefully calculated step in your plan. i want to see how he struggles to fight back once he does, how hard he tries to prove himself, not realising that if he was really the one in control, he wouldn’t need to prove it, would he? he’d just do it. yet here he is, scrambling for his place back in the driver’s seat that he was never truly in.

your giggles would interrupt him amidst his little speech, cutting off the empty bluffs and dirty promises that he could never even dream of keeping anyway; the way you’d chuckle behind a coy hand like you’ve got some little inside joke with yourself? it would make that fragile ego of his fucking quiver; make him feel confused and embarrassed and he would try to twist the situation back in his favour, of course he would, to try pretend he’s in on the inside joke... but the truth is he feels helpless. for the first time ever, it feels like he’s the one in the dark; he’s the clueless and defenseless one, the one who’s been caught in a trap he never saw coming.

but then again, how could he when you play the part of prey so well? when your innocent performance is so convincing — with your big glossy eyes and shyly averted gazes, your voice so sweet and unsuspecting, stumbling over filthy words like you’ve never even thought them before? what reason would someone like him have to fear a precious thing like you? he’s all chiselled muscle and tenacity, with the eyes of a wolf; you’re small compared to him, cute and soft and easy to overpower — and yet he still ends up beneath you because your presence alone harbours more power than he does in all those muscles he’s so proud of, and his resolve is weak as long as you know where he’s most sensitive and what words make him blush, and with enough patience and punishments, those wolf’s eyes will melt into a puppy’s every time.

and getting a man like him to submit — or better yet break — is no easy feat. he thought himself a dom before he met you and god, if there isn’t anything more rewarding, more wonderful than that; teaching him to bend to your will and seeing his inevitable downfall each and every time. no matter how many times or how far he goes to defy and provoke you, you both know that he will always return to his rightful place: beneath you and completely at your mercy.

HELP ME I JUST REALISED

You know how aziraphale can sense love? How he has to stop for a moment in the nunnery in s1, how he grabs on to crowley when Gabriel and Beelzebub reunite? The way he smiles when he sees nina and Maggie dance?

Imagine how shocking the kiss would be, to feel all this love directed at -him-. With no one to grab on to except for crowley. Could he feel it fade away as he left crowley?
