“One man’s cringe is another man’s epic” and “a flawed story is still a thousand times better than a story never told” are two pieces of advice that a lot of people aspiring to be writers really need to take to heart. Stop tearing yourself up over getting every little insignificant thing right.

First print edition of Japanese author Osamu Dazai's 'No Longer Human' (Japan, 1948).

Interesting fact: While writing the novel, Dazai allegedly became very emotionally detached from the world and distanced himself from his family and children, intending to put himself closer to the mentality of his protagonist, which could have intensified his depression and been a factor at play in his eventual decision to commit double su*cide with his mistress.

O grantors of dark disgrace, do not wake me again // 🥀

We never really have a clear image of Arahabaki (just a four legged monster) but I imagine Dazai would have a field day if it took on the form of a dog too. Even if its a dog of mass destruction.

Also featuring dead apple chuuya which is my favourite outfit on him. ❤️

Pt 2 of my ✨Abilities✨ series.

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.

I love being an adult because you know what actually happens when you run your car into a curb and scratch up the bumper?

Nothing. You get it fixed, or you don’t. Whatevs.

You know what actually happens when you are depressed or sick or on your period and don’t cook dinner?

Nothing. You still get to eat something, nobody scolds you, it doesn’t have any real bearing on your future success, and you don’t get soft shunned for a week by your family.

You know what actually happens when you break stuff, forget stuff, get sick, fall asleep, are rude, miss a flight, don’t know how to do XYZ thing on fixing cars or canning food or whatever, lose things, get lost because you can’t read a map and forgot to charge your phone, buy the wrong groceries, plant the wrong plants, not make your bed, make your bed wrong, jump on your bed, sleep on your bed, eat crackers in your bed, have emotions literally anywhere?

Nothing.

Nothing happens.

No one is mad.

No one can hurt you, and if they do there are laws saying they can’t and that it’s an actual crime with legal consequences.

All there are are outcomes and different paths and different problems and different situations and you just bumble your way forward into dealing with those and that’s it. That’s the whole thing. It’s not the wrong choice, having problems isn’t indicative of your inherent badness or inadequacy or lack of applying yourself. It’s just life, and it’s happening to literally everyone.

I’m not even kidding.

You just do stuff and nothing bad happens. Walk around existing? Nothing bad will happen. Wild.

You can cry. In public. And the most likely outcome is not that you will get taken away to receive the beating of your lifetime, it is that people will mostly ignore you and some will be kinder to you. 🤯

On Saturday I got pulled over because it turned out I’d been driving on expired tags for a year and hadn’t even noticed.

I got told to “take care of it soon please” and let go with a warning. Today I went to the DMV and paid a $5 late fee along with the 2-year fee for registration, got new plates and stickers and that was that.

A year late. No big deal. No one was shocked or appalled. It was just a thing that happened and then I took care of it. No biggie.

Turns out, people expect you to make mistakes because they’re people and they make them too. More often than not, you can just fix them and move on.

[theriu]

Thank you for this lovely positive post!

[kendrixtermina]

No one ever yells at you just for entering a room, especially not when you just want to get food or tp. 

You can pick what brands of stuff to buy!

You can cook all the foods without raisins, or leave out any other ingredient that you just don’t like.

PSA to read Kunikida and Katai’s Brilliant Days if you haven’t already 🥺

it’s such a cute (official!) short story about kunikida & katai i was surprised it was so hard to find it anywhere! i only saw a mention of it on the list of light novels, so i had to ask on reddit and was directed to @pinkgirl94 ‘s translation over here at https://pinkgirl94.tumblr.com/light-novels-links !! 💖

Hey Ranpo... 👉👈

*Hands over a bag with a few different Italian sweets*

They're not poisoned...

But if you eat too many you might feel sick

Ranpo: Bold of you to assume I haven't developed a high sugar tolerance-

Fukuzawa: *taking the bag* I will make sure to ration these, thank you for your kindness
