Really, Donna kept a lot of the relationships quite ambiguous and we see them through Richard's eyes ( and he is not exactly reliable). I never understood the whole Henry and Camilla relationship, though it was hinted quite early and often.
And Francis and Charles relationship is also quite ambiguous. And we don't know how long it's been going on. Maybe Charles doesn't remember, maybe he just pretends not to (again Richard is not a reliable narrator; also kinda clueless)
Charles kind of broke my whole idea of the story entirely by turning out like be did and it made me put down the book for some time.
And that was not really a rant, I like discussing opinions on my favourite books especially as messy as this one.
So, for my sanity. Let me get this straight (lol); Henry was in love with Camilla and she was in love with him. And Richard was also in love with Camilla but she friendzoned him. Francis and Camilla had kissed (twice) and Charles was furious. Francis was flirting with Richard the entire time ( "cubitum eamus") Richard fantasized about spending his old years with Francis (and they kissed ofc). Richard also described Henry in a very no homo way. Francis and Charles were secretly hooking up. And so were Charles and Camilla (also, Charles was an abuser, why don't people talk about that more?). Richard described Camilla to look very masculine and like Charles to a tee, so he also liked Charles (?). Bunny was a huge homophobe, kinda sus; also had a strange interest in Henry. And Henry was probably in love with Julian (that little weird kiss mentioned ounce). I am a missing something?
Donna. Donna. Donna, what tf is this book is about?
Some quotes are changed to fit the number of words for the poll!
I don't remember more lines although there's no lack of gay quotes in this show (feel free to share your favourites)
Not Skk and sskk having TWO confession scenes.
Dazai, you make fun of Akutagawa but at least his confessions aren't getting rejected like yours.
"What's the worst can he do?"
"He shoots me"
"that's better than a verbal rejection"
Dazai getting out of Chuuya's apartment in the morning: 😶
Atsushi getting out of Akutagawa's apartment in the morning: 😶
Dazai: let's keep this a secret between us and not tell anyone about this in the ADA
Atsushi: deal.
ENFJ: would you jump off a cliff if I did?
INTP: yes
INTJ: yes
ENFJ: don't ever jump off a cliff! Both of you!
INTP: I don't need provocation to jump off a cliff, life's not worth it anyways.
INTJ: If I am not jumping off a cliff, I am pushing you in, because you are annoying the fuck out of me.
ENFJ:....
ENFJ: guys are you okay? We can work out the issues together by being vulnerable with eachother!
INTJ: *to INTP* do you want me to push him?
INTP: Yes, please.
NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS I will always love Skk, you can't make me hate them, never!!!!
I was going to add RanPoe too but I have never really seen people actively hating on that ship. Most people love it or are neutral but I rarely see anyone hating it!
We all have a ship that's so popular that people often call it overrated. What's yours?
Atsushi: that doesn't explain why you were smiling while he was choking you!
Dazai: I wasn't smiling, I was gasping.....wait for you follow me around or something?
Atsushi: oh no, me and Akutagawa were buying our groceries
Dazai: YOU AND AKUTAGAWA? WHY WERE YOU TWO TOGETHER?
Atsushi: we have decided to be friends!
Ranpo, rolling his eyes: Gay.
Atsushi, confused after a mission: what exactly is the relationship between Dazai-san and Chuuya-san?
Fukuzawa: they are enemies
Kunikida: more like ex-coworkers
Yosano: definitely, enemies with benefits
Kyouka: best friends!
Kenji: they help each other out in times of great trouble like good neighbors :)
Junichiro: Aren't they rivals?
Naomi: I thought they were Ex-boyfriends!
Haruno: I heard they got divorced
Atsushi, even more confused: they were married????
*Everyone looks at Ranpo*
Ranpo, takes his Lollipop out: Gay.
There's no way Rat Man is dead right? He even went out spewing Jesus's line about resurrection.
But I DON'T want Nikolai to be the one who saved Fyodor at the last minute, let it be anyone else (let's say Agatha Christie). Nikolai saving Fyodor will take away all of the emotions of the climax. It was such a sad/heartbreaking moment for Nikolai that Dazai, who always had snide remarks, didn't make a joke about it (probably because he understands Nikolai and would feel the same way if Chuuya died).
If Fyodor survives and is ready for his next villain arc with Agatha, then let him be the one to reveal himself to Nikolai and recruit him....this time not as a pawn but as an ally/friend.
Henry Winter will ALSO tell you to look at wild ferns, and then push you off a cliff while you are looking for said ferns 🌿
There's a Olivia Rodrigo song for every emotion. (I LOVE ALL OF THEM)
Brutal: I hate this world so much
Traitor: I got cheated on/my friend found a new friend
Driver's license: I miss my ex/ex-friend
1 step forward, 3 steps back: toxic relationships and issues you can't leave
Deja vu: I can't believe he/she/they replaced me!
Good 4 u: oh so you have moved on from me...sure...ahahhah...I am not mad...hahhahah...(ur dead)
Enough for you: I changed everything about myself because ur shit
Happier: maybe you can be less happy, there are some sensitive people around!
Jealousy Jealousy: self explanatory (also "everyone thinks he’s so smart, wonderful Potter with his scar and his broomstick" ~Draco Malfoy)
Favourite Crime: I know u are a felon and a criminal but you have a sweet side and a tender heart only I can change!
Hope ur ok: (cries) address the letters to the holes of my butterfly wings (cries some more)
