Dostoevsky's and Dazai's religious ideologies were like complete opposites and I was all for it when working on The Gospel.
I would've totally dug deeper into Dostoevsky but I haven't finished Crime and Punishment yet so everything on Dostoevsky's end is from my research, if any of you have read Crime and Punishment (or any of his works really), let me know if Google was correct.
So I'm thinking the reason why The Gospel is 130 whatever pages is because I'm digging in on an individual level, and then like I'm like also writing this as if someone doesn't know the entire plot of BSD. Well, ok, that was more necessary for like 15, Stormbringer, and the Dragon Head Incident just cause not everyone has read those, but I'm also using the manga for this analysis and I've noticed some differences between the anime and the manga so I'm coming across scenes that like I wasn't even aware of in the Prison Arc.
Also I try to differentiate when I'm talking about the real life author by calling the actual author by their last name out of respect and calling the anime character by their first name. So like with Fyodor I refer to the anime character as Fyodor but the author as Dostoevsky in my analysis. That's kinda hard to do with Dazai though so...you guys are just gonna have to figure out when I'm talking about real life Dazai and anime Dazai...sorry.
Anyway, quick update, enjoy these crumbs because I do have finals coming up so I won't be able to work as much as I want to on this. Progress will be slow and/or come to a complete halt in the next few weeks, but once I am free it is going to be WRITING time lemme tell you.
I'm about done with the Prison Arc, just covered Chuuya killing Dazai yesterday. Literally had to research the impact of bullet wounds in the shoulder thank you Chuuya. Then after that I actually plan on redoing the 15 arc completely just because my writing style really developed over the course of this analysis and I want to match that. Then onto proofreading and finalizing.

I can’t lip sink to save my life so I only made a little gif of the trend instead for whiteraven i also put this on the discord
and just when you think you’re at your absolute lowest a blonde motherfucker comes along and makes everything so much worse
no one mourns the wicked//no, one mourns the wicked
no one mourns the wicked//no, one mourns the wicked
Just some practice! This two took me like 2 hours, I think, so yeah; and yeah, it is fem! Chuuya, we all know I love to draw her.
Not much to say about this one, I did want to render it more, but I have a lot of drawings to keep up too, so, perhaps in some weeks I draw it again with more love and patience.
the mirror is where I look away from myself the most
but I would look at my reflection in the water for hours just because it's water and not what was
I look away from the past because there lives everything I've lost
and after all these hauntings I've grown to really hate ghosts
I thought that maybe you wanted to break me because I was too tough
yet you still did it when I wasn't even that strong
I don't know what hurts more
that you might've planned it all
or that you didn't care enough to
or that I am stronger than ever now
Ok everyone let’s think beautiful thoughts about masculine women today.
