Kitsunezai
Posting this on a whim
Here's a little Kitsunezai concept
I always felt like the outfit could be really cool if they could've detailed it a lot more.
When looking at the folkloric feel to Dazai's official Kitsune concept, a few things are identifiable. Here's some stuff-:
-He would be over 100, as kitsune are believed to grow more tails only after reaching that age.
-He's a Yako or Nogitune- which are the more 'morally grey' kitsune. Having a tendency to lean towards mischief and are likely to interact with humans.
-white and black coats of fur are rare, but they are present for nogitune.
In Japanese folk and mythos, kitsune can hold one of 13 powers
celestial, wind, spirit, darkness, fire, earth, river, ocean, forest, mountain, thunder, sound, and time
so they often may wear beads around their necks/ on their person to symbolize the elements
they only wear 12 out of the 13 because they exclude the one element the wearer represents.
So Dazai has 12 beads.

I have a tiny cheesecake I bought at the grocery store.... But I am so comfy... I haven't a fork.... What do I do....
I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:
—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.
—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.
—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money
—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them
—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa
—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them
—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in
Right, I forgot, ALSO: when Fyodor frames the Agency as terrorists by putting them into a universe where they’re all evil, this is a reference to how many of the Agency authors practiced Naturalism: the literary movement that Mori hated that claimed to write “life as reality shows it”, but instead many Naturalist authors used this excuse to glorify the sexualization of incest, rape, and abuse (Junichiro Tanizaki is the most famous for giving Naturalism this horrific reputation, as not only did he write about the first and last of these three, he abused his IRL wives and was known to date much younger women. Does the teenager incest in the show make sense now?).
Meanwhile, the Mafia authors practiced Romanticism, the movement that existed prior to Naturalism in Japan and was focused on creating stories that made a reader FEEL something, regardless of how true-to-life it was. A lot of them (Mori and Akutagawa especially) pushed back against this new wave in their own writing. By swapping their roles like this, Fyodor therefore sets to put the world back to how it played out in real life: Naturalism wasn’t seen by Japan as courageous underdogs, but an uncontrollable corruption of their pre-existing literary standards. However, through the metaphor of BSD, this course of action is portrayed as evil and villainous, taking anyone who wishes to convey IRL history as it happened and framing them as an evil monster bent on censoring authors’ right to creative expression.
