dostoevsky discount: fight one dostoevsky, get one free

so if he slipped on a banana peel, some of the cells in a banana peel are alive and like, he hits his head and dies, does he become a banana peel?

just wondering

I rolled on the bed

because of how happy I was

at seeing dostoevsky alive

please stay that way

I spent seven/eight years following this

and the only character I've ever liked

this much was dostoevsky

istg if bram comes back because of some 'strong' mentality shit that anime likes

I'm going to actually flip my table

because goddamit that's not allowed

or some weird thing that makes it so that he somehow kills himself

because goddamit dazai I will erase your existence from the pages of the book with a sharpie

(also does that mean he can only be killed if he killed himself? fantastic, that means he'll only ever be locked in maximum security prison, mua (づ￣ ³￣)づ asagiri for making my bro basically immortal, try beating THAT dazai)

(I just knew that eli thing was because he was activating his ability, wikipedia is NEVER wrong)

(idk, but like imo, if that's his ability, it makes sense his 'copy' didn't kill him with shibushibu's mist. His ability is literally himself. ofc he's fine. fukuzawa manifested his 'equal', mori manifested 'elise', etc, but fyodor just manifests himself, or death that leads to himself, which in attacking him just makes him become himself lmao that must be such a power trip to shove in shibushibu's face; you're ability doesn't work loser cause your ability is me- I am my ability and my ability is me- lmao-)

it wasn't just him lol

he's just so cool... ... ... Taiyo's so cool...

the complexity of the characters, the depth of their emotions - this is truly one of a kind...

like, the mc, she's a nice person, she's just uh very stone-like and when she was young she was foolish. The issue with people like that or her 'fault' is that it takes time to know her true personality. People make assumptions especially when there's a better example beside them of someone who is both nice and open. However, the story correctly points out, people who are openly nice are either stupid or secretly cruel. imo I don't think the sister is evil, but she is stupid. She's uneducated and lacking in sense of place or time or etiquette. She's never had to worry about anything so she doesn't worry about anything, whereas the mc has always had to worry about everything leading to a very blank face.

Someone like the mc who has to learn how to care for people and how to circumnavigate to other's preferences will naturally become 'better' people if they already know how. But the unique combination of her youth and her foolishness makes it so that she becomes stone like and difficult to understand. She doesn't have anyone to explain anything and even if she did the people around her don't talk about it. As such, she becomes isolated because she doesn't know she has people around her and she begins to habour a very uh ig unconscious hate towards the world and her sister. She loves and hates her sister.

Imo, people like this do so because they naturally have the feeling or need to defend themselves. She has to defend against the fear of her lack of ability to match the fiance. Which is also another issue; her inequality in comparison to him. If someone does a cinderella marriage, unless they're a golddigger, it's actually a very bad decision. The inequalities or small differences in habit or living style and structure make people feel like they owe something to make up for their ineptitudes. I feel like a lot of her 'love' isn't really love but a need to become someone who her fiance can see as an equal without feeling like it's pity. At least part of jt is so. So when he falls in love with her sister she can't stand it more because she fears it says something about herself than someone else.

I don't really agree with how the story makes it so that people are more interested in her; imo it's usually the opposite. People like the mc are difficult to communicate with, there's no sudden interest and they're liable to be mistaken.

but the order of events were excellent. sometimes stories don't need to be complicated, they just need to have good pacing and structure. It doesn't necessarily represent some godly philosophical ideal, but idk it's just well written.

It killed me. Idk my heart felt like it dropped to my stomach... ╥﹏╥

Blonde girl is either the author or someone who read the novel and wanted OG blonde girl to win.

Things like two-faced-ness eventually come out if you know them long enough. I don't think OG blonde girl was evil, but ig was infected. Black haired dog twins probably fell in love with OG blonde girl and system manipulated to cover new blonde girl.

She also knows what events to trigger to become 'similar' to the novel. There's no variation, and I just find that highly unlikely if OG red hair did them originally. She should have had some degree of difference since she's not red hair. She's probably the author imo or some watered down version of it so she has some degree of precognition.

idk, I feel like that's where this is going honestly. Older brother probably gets married to someone else. Younger brother probably stays with red hair. Happy ending. It'll just be a seesaw until then..

(I can't remember what Blonde girl's name is, but I remember the two jerks, but it's not consistent... if I knew two and not one)

this author... really like chinese stuff huh... it's not a bad thing, just pretty interesting cause in my experience beyond JP, koreans avoid chinese aspects like the plague if they can...

Oh it's a cool but bazi is actually a thing! It's a fortune telling general term uhh thing (...) for people. So like they can determine your uh innate human 'weight' and 'future' in a sense if you know your birthday (but it has to be accurate to the time). It has stuff called 'bazi' and there are sort of different poems to describe someone's life through uhh ig various stages. So uhh if you had wenchangxing, you'd be a smart student or something. qisha is another one (apparently it describes a prostitute in her youth...). idk it's cool until you realize there are tens of thousands of probably millions of poems for different people and character types. And most of then use a ton of metaphors... that most people (even chinese people) don't understand lol.

But that uhh wood, fire, water, gold thing? Also the same system. The idea is that you have two sort of sets ig for the date. If you have two opposing elements uhhhh good luck... ig. You want to have it's called liuhe or six uhh connection??? If you want to have a good marriage you want to have liuhe with someone as well as sancaipeizhe (???). Basically your weight as a human should be the same as the person you're marrying. It's not as... obvious or straightforward as water against fire, but that's basically the idea. I think. there's secondary uh terms like you can be wood, but dark wood or light wood. yinmu or yangmu. Apparently yinmu people are two-faced and opportunistic...

There's also name numbering systems (but it only works for chinese names) that ig tell you your personality? Like, there are manuals on numbers to avoid umm 9, 19, so on so forth. 9 is a pretty bad number to have apparently (it's like equivalent of a two-faced asshole).

so if you know someone who has the value 9 for their name they probably are a yinmu.
