Just the idea of Atsushi going out of his way to decorate his house for the new years using all the money he has to make Kyouka happy comes into my head----
I do think ever since Kyouka moved in with Atsushi he has changed his lifestyle. He bought new furniture, he makes good food at home and keeps the house warm. Cuz Atsushi is never letting his little sister have anything less than what she deserves.
Kunikida: Atsushi came to get his salary in advance again. Do you want me to check on him?
Fukuzawa: no, don't. It's fine
Kunikida: I hope he's not wasting his money like Dazai does....
Fukuzawa: he doesn't. I know it.
*meanwhile*
Kyouka: you didn't have to buy the bunny plushie, I didn't need it!
Atsushi: of course I had to. It's your Christmas gift.
Kyouka: I don't need gifts. I already have everything
Atsushi: no you don't. I want you to have all the things a little girl should have
Kyouka: I already have you, I didn't need anything else.
Atsushi: *starts crying*
Kyouka: *pat pat* I made some cake big bro, let's eat.
As the winter approaches I think back to the time Richard Papen tried to stay without a heater or proper roof at the hippie's house during the cold winter of Vermont.
If that isn't peak Californian behaviour, I don't know what is.
Also, the irony of Richard being saved by Henry WINTER is so funny.
Henry was so nice to him during this time because he was trying to indoctrinate Richard into their group further, before revealing the murder they all did and getting him in their side instead of Bunny's. Although my heart wants it to be a genuine friendship between the two. Richard was never truly friends with them, at the least not with Henry. He was used by Henry again and again, whether it be doing small chores, keeping secrets, trying to frame Richard with the poisonous mushrooms and so on.
Richard was fucked the moment he stumbled upon the twins, Bunny and Henry in the library.
Bunny: so what do we have for lunch....
Henry:.....wine
Bunny: I meant something we can eat.
Charles: which drug do you like? I don't have much on me but we can buy some.
Bunny: that's not what a human should have for lunch
Franics: I do the coffee, cigarettes and Maraschino Cherries diet, you wanna try?
Bunny: what the....
Camilla: we could have had some lamb chops but we don't have it anymore.
Bunny: why?
Camilla: we had to sacrifice the lamb during a ritual and bathe in its blood
Bunny: you know what I would rather be dead by eating grilled cheese sandwich and milkshake than hang out with you weirdos anymore
I feel as if there's nothing to look forward to and I am feeling this after my high school ended.......WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME.
Atsushi: I am really sorry for your loss little girl 😔
Aya: why do my dad's keep dying
Atsushi: oh....did you have two dads?
Aya: uh huh, technically four
Atsushi: h-how did that happen
Aya: I have a biological dad, who was the worst thing in my life
Atsushi: oh sorry
Aya: then I got Kunikida and things were okay for while, then he died.
Atsushi, tears forming: yes I just saw that ðŸ˜
Aya: Bra-chan became my dad too, he thinks I remind him of his daughter
Atsushi: awww 🥺
Aya: he was killed by Dosto-whatever-his-name-is in front of me
Atsushi: not him too
Aya: then the Dosto-person became my new dad, which I didn't consent to, he took Bra-chan's body!
Atsushi: this cannot get weirder
Aya: after all that Bra-chan came back to life for a min and gave me a new dad to replace him
Atsushi: and who's that?
Akutagawa: Princess, I brought your favourite doughnuts!
Atsushi: A-Akutagawa? What are you---
Aya: Oh here he is my new dad
Atsushi: you are a dad now?
Akutagawa: yes, it just happened recently. Jinko we have a child now.
Atsushi: W-We what?
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?
Life goes on:
Life goes on,
When the blossoms may.
When dry leaves fall down,
In a sun free day.
Life goes on,
When childhood ends.
When you grow apart,
From all your friends.
Life goes on,
When you walk alone.
In sunny paths and trails,
Of a hillside house.
Life goes on,
When you let things go.
When you accept,
There's always left some hope.
Life goes on and on
And on till the-
Day you die and-
Leave your imprint behind.

Slytherin and Ravenclaw on a date:
*Gryffindor spying on them with Hufflepuff*
Hufflepuff: this is so creepy, why are we here?
Gryffindor: why did you come then?
Hufflepuff: you told me we are getting ice cream and feed ducks in the pond!
Slytherin: they are spying on us aren't they?
Ravenclaw: ofc, hiding behind the lamp post won't help Gryffindor
Slytherin: do you know how we can scare them?
Ravenclaw: *nods* I am ready
*both pull out knives at the same time*
Ravenclaw: honey, are you ready for our next murder spree?
Slytherin: You bet I am. I heard someone following us.
Ravenclaw: the last victims are not even found yet....
Gryffindor looks at Hufflepuff: this is the moment.
Hufflepuff: what? I can't hear anything and why are they pulling out knives are they going to......
Gryffindor: RUN!!!!!!RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!
Hufflepuff: Ahhhhhh....all I wanted was to eat free ice cream!
Slytherin: they are not coming back
Ravenclaw: No.
Slytherin: why do you have a knife anyways? As a surgeon I have knives all over me.
Ravenclaw raises eyebrow: you never know when they come in handy...let's go I want cotton candy......NOW
Slytherin: *nervous laughter* you are so cute.
Hufflepuff: *sneezes*
Slytherin: here *gives handkerchief*
Hufflepuff: you are so nice!
Slytherin: NO I AM NOT. I didn't want any germs from you. That's why I gave you a handkerchief.
Hufflepuff: :)
Ravenclaw: *gets papercut* ouch
Slytherin: *puts bandage on* I fucking hate you. Why do you hurt yourself all the time?
Ravenclaw: *whispers* how did you get in my house?
Slytherin: Gryffindor is stupid.....an idiot....useless
Someone: yeah, I agree. Gryffindor sucks
Slytherin: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT GRYFFINDOR?
(Headcanon: Slytherin is a soft Tsundere)
I don't know about other characters but if there was a TSH adaptation on screen (which I hope is directed and written by Donna herself) then my fancast for Julian is Steve Carrel.
Julian is charismatic and friendly, all knowing or at least seeming so, a talker, a mystic type of person. He isn't young but has young features and greying hair but still handsome. He is supposed to make you want to listen to him all the time and Steve Carrel just exudes that energy.
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.
