Richard: hey guys do you want to...
Henry: We threw a bacchanal
Richard: whaaa...
Henry: Bunny saw us with blood on
Richard: wait what...
Henry: he blackmailed us for months and I had to shut his mouth by taking him on a trip to Italy.
Richard: why don't you go to the police?
Henry: police are not real, Richard.
I am gonna take a break from TSH. Although it was because of that I started this blog. I have been very burned out with that book. I cleaned out my drafts. For the past three years of hyper-fixation made me learn about so many things. I have changed my opinions so much since I made my first post and it made me realise how you not only mature in age but also in your ideas about certain topics and characters.
It won't probably be my final post about TSH, I want to return to it a few years later to see it in a retrospective lens opposed to the rose-tinted one I wore when I completed the book for the first time.
My current thoughts on the characters;
Henry: loved him at first and I love him still. But for different reasons. I loved him when I first read the book because I was too in love with his character to realise the type of person he was. Even agreeing on his terrible decisions (ex: killing Bunny, bacchanal, etc...) but now I love him because he is so unhinged and terrible like the many morally grey/evil characters we all love.
Richard: for some reason I thought he was a good person who got wrapped in all this shit and wasn't bad. Now I think Richard is equally responsible for the tragedy by not reporting a murder and by being an actual accomplice to murder.
Camilla: my thoughts on her have changed the least. At first I used to think she was just the nicest of them. And then it changed to--- she is hiding a secret dark side or more layers we don't get to see.
Francis: I thought he was also the nicest, next to Camilla because he doesn't take any problematic actions. But it is his inability to take actions of his own that makes him bad. Although I still think he is underrated and often misunderstood
Charles: I couldn't stand Charles at first. And I can't just justify everything he did cuz he is terrible. It's just he is often used as a scapegoat to make Henry look better which I hate. He's a menace yes, but so is Henry!!!!!
Julian: I don't have a lot to say cuz we rarely see him. All I can say is he is not the mastermind of the whole story. He's a John Keating gone wrong example.
Bunny: my thoughts on Bunny have changed the most. From HATING him to feeling sympathy and even bad for him. I still won't agree he is somehow the best person out there, cuz he is definitely not. Bunny is hated to an extent that he doesn't deserve. And ounce and for all, he didn't deserve to die (I take back what I said about him in the past)
Judy: ounce a queen π always a queen π
So this is it. Thanks TSH for being the bane and reason for my existence since the pandemic.

I don't want a boyfriend (not yet; I am not emotionally mature enough to have one), I just want a guy I can drag around to everywhere I go without either of us getting romantic feelings.
Just pals being pals
Who wants to be the main character? I want to be the omniscient narrator of someone's story.
The person I hate the most in the world will always be my 12th grade Maths teacher (who would have been fired if he wasn't from my shitty country)
(PS: really sorry if any other got left out, I was writing these on top of my head so I don't know if there's more. Feel free to comment if you know any other siblings/sibling-ish dynamic I left out!)
*Atsushi got drunk during a new year's party*
Atsushi: I have been here for some time now. And all this time I have been repressing my feelings to not hurt anyone. But I want to speak my mind today
Dazai: cheers! Atsushi-kun! Say whatever you want, no-one would stop you
Atsushi, coughs: ahem ahem...okay. Kunikida-San, you were a math teacher. BOOM ROASTED
Kunikida: *spit's his drink out*
Atsushi: Dazai-san, you have 1000 ex's, nobody wants to stay with you. BOOM ROASTED.
Dazai, chuckles: that was a good one
Atsushi: Chuuya-san, you are 5'3. BOOM ROASTED.
Chuuya: WHAT THE FUCK YOU SAID KID?
Dazai: this is hilarious
Atsushi: Akutagawa, you look like a malnourished Victorian child who likes hot-topic. BOOM ROASTED.
Akutagawa: Jinko, when I get to you!
Atsushi: Ranpo-san, you are a glorified man-child. BOOM ROASTED.
Ranpo, eating dino nuggies: I won't deny
Atsushi: Yosano-sensei....you literally save our lives, I can't say anything bad about you
Yosano: awwww
Chuuya: that's a bit unfair!
Atsushi: Poe-san, you are a simp. BOOM ROASTED.
Poe, watching everything hiding behind a door: y-you actually noticed me, I am flattered!
Atsushi, takes a deep breath: Fukuzawa-san....you spend most of the ADA budget on cat food. I actually agree with that.
Fukuzawa: *nods gravely*
Atsushi: and...Junichiro-kun....you and your sister....do I have to say it? You two are fuc---
Kunikida, drags Atsushi out of the room: that was enough drinking for you!!!!!
*the next morning*
Dazai: I didn't know you had all of this sass inside you!!! That was amazing. You should do it more~
Atsushi, horrified, hiding his face:......I SAID WHAT????
Henry: This year, I lost my dear friend Bunny Concoran.
Bunny: stop telling everyone I am dead
Henry: you just wait :)
Every valentine's day Chuuya gets desperate, passionate love letters from someone whom he doesn't know. It's full of poetic lines and cryptic messages about how they are fated to be together and are soulmates. He wonders who this secret admirer is and decides to write back to them and ask them out on a date.
He goes to the restaurant they decide to meet at and takes a U-turn back to the receptionist and cancels his reservation when he sees Dazai sitting there waiting for him. Because Chuuya.exe has stopped working.
You know you are invested in a book when you feel jealousy with the main character, when you have a breakdown when they do, when you get anxious when they are, when you feel the love for their love interest as much as they do, when you cry for them and smile with them and then the book ends and you feel an empty void as if life had stopped.
