Poe has excellent survival instincts
Hi, it's been a while! Here are some skk!cats, and looks like people obsessed with them being cats as well recently, and that makes me happy. :3
And thank you so much for 100+ followers!!
Facts below!
If you think about it
Mori knowing Tachihara was working for the government wasn't random
BSD Ōgai Mori is smart, even if he's not shown as genius as Ranpo or Dazai even if Mori actually surprised Dazai with the whole plan behind Dazai Dark Era Light Novel and also the Q being free thing
But he's also military experienced, both the character and the real life author being like "military doctor in charge of a lot of people and the highest rank possible in that aspect who was trained to be able to deal with patients who could attack him by accident" kind of way... But also, he has seen a lot of soldiers, treated with many people, from Japan, France and Germany, samurais who committed suicide willingly in a ritual named sepukku (if BSD even keeps parts of the real author's important situations in life that lead him write many things and change his writing style)
The real life author was observant, graduated early, and even used a military technique to get better at socialising with people... And BSD Mori sounds pretty similar to those Mori-facts even if they made him similar to Real Life Natsume Soseki in behaviour because that Yosano background? It feels more like Natsume's family traumas and opposite Mori's own kids' experience with their dad, thanks to Mori BL genre exists through Mari Mori being sad of her dad's death🕴🏻
But back to my point— Ōgai knowing about Tachihara being part of the military could be a mix of past experience and observation. BSD Mori's intelligence for me appears to understanding people's minds, personalities and how they'll react even if he doesn't understand the reason why behind everything or why even question "not logical reasons". Even when his thoughts are shown in his own point of view or from an outsider, the focus is Mori's logic rather than Mori's emotions
Vita Sexualis, the book, doesn't only narrate the protagonist's life and traumas from when he's 6 years old to +20 years old... But about him trying to understand the world he lives in, him being different from his society, him processing stuff differently in comparison to others... And not understanding people's emotions. He stayed with the logic, logic made him become successful, logic made him understand people's reactions, but not make him relate to what people think, feel and say, but understand the pattern, and at least the real life author was obsessed with patterns so badly 💀
He was successful as a military doctor, he's successful as a Boss, but after seeing people's behaviours... After spending many years in the military, he knows how people there most likely behave. After spending so much time with criminals, he knows how people in the mafia will most likely behave
There had to be a pattern that Tachihara followed as a military soldier, because military genuinely changes you and teaches you things. There are some behaviours that you can't... Just stop doing
My dad was a military soldier, he knows people in his same circumstances. Some left with traumas, some stand or walk in specific ways. My dad? Is unable to have his hair growing a lot because the military service make him have the "instinct" of keep his hair extremely short. Ah yeah and sometimes react instinctively in "military defense positions" (he explained it to me like that) because he can't take it out of himself
It's not only "Oh Mori is a genius", but "Mori observes everyone and pays attention to everyone", even to Black Lizard. He had to observe Tachihara
But that's a thought
If you guys can, please check out ED’s analysis on episode 12 of BSD!! He has such accurate predictions at the most random times and the way he goes into depth about the characters is wonderful, and me and a few others would love for him to see more of how wonderful BSD is :D
Also if you join the discord, we might do bingo on the episodes he reacts to, where we try to guess what and how he reacts to things, it’s wonderful!! The community is also very chill (unlike a lot of other places) and many people enjoy going in depth about the story as well (also rare pair shippers are always welcome :3) (shipping in general is welcome). We also might play GARTIC phone or jackbox with BSD themes and prompts!!
We also have vc chats at the end, while spoilers aren’t allowed, it’s fun to see what Ed theorizes while we giggle when he’s right or wrong.
Not to mention Ed analyzes other anime as well!!
If you can, please support our little BSD community we have here, we’ll all appreciate it :3
15 SKK getting kidnapped
I have a song stuck in my head so I'm going to make it everyone's problem.
Dazai:
Chuuya:
Kidnapper: *just driving*
Dazai and Chuuya make a silent agreement.
Dazai, singing: this is the song that never ends
Chuuya, also singing: it goes on and on my friends
Skk: some people started singing it not knowing what was. But they'll keep singing it forever just because
Kidnapper, getting more annoyed: *tries to ignore the teenagers singing*
Skk, getting more annoying: it's the song that never ends! It goes on and on my friends!
Kidnapper, finally had enough: you two shut up!
Dazai: never!
Chuuya: never in a million years!
Skk: some people started singing it not knowing what it was, but they'll keep singing it forever just because!
Kidnapper, finally having enough returned them to Mori: there. Now shut up!
Mori, having a glass of wine and a book enjoying his quiet time: God damnit-
happy pride everyone, mori's gay and trans asagiri told me in my mind via telepathy and this is what happened to him
What if...
Mori decided to give Elise a complex personality after Stormbringer because of that thing about 2k+ lines of code
[CODE; 1] A program of at most 2,383 lines that some researchers had come up with
In Yosano's flashback and after the war Elise was like a doll and did what Mori said. She didn't show up in Fifteen and Stormbringer. The first time when Elise acts like canon version of herself was in the Dark era.
In "Fifteen", Mori finally gets the support of the mafia after a year of being in limbo. In Stormbringer he has fully settled into his role, he knows he can rely on his experience and his people, Mori's in a stable state. Also the final fight in this light novel is a confirmation of Mori's leadership skills. And so the strength of ability grows.
Yosano and Dazai are Mori's important ones but it's Chuuya who makes him feel better. His loyalty, interest in being taught to lead the organisation, bravery, strength, confidence... His struggle for his own humanity.
Elise and Chuuya, they're a bit alike, aren't they? So do Mori and N. But with all the disrespect for the Human Soul and a level of cruelty, workaholism and intellectualization as an attempt to escape from their feelings and problems, Mori, unlike N, is gradually making connections with his surroundings and changing little by little. He lets Yosano go (probably after Fukuzawa won the fight), finds Chuuya's parents and offers Kouyou to leave if she feels better that way (but her trauma prevents her from leaving). He also seems to have no intention of bringing Yosano back (there's a good chance Atsushi was implied in the deal in the DOA arc). Mori has never worked “for a job.” His goals are pretty clear: to protect what he cares about, his city, to fulfill his ambitions (nothing can take that away from him). After Fifteen Mori always says: violence is not the only way, he's always in a search for the best solution. Even during the war, he came up with an idea that was the opposite of N's: it was about saving his soldiers, not making another weapon that could kill others.
That's why Elise's identity creation is fundamentally different from H's work: it's a manifestation of the creative power of the soul. Maybe a wounded soul, but a living soul.
@morilovern1, @plinko-mori and everyone, any thoughts?
