bsd novels: Stormbringer!

here's where to read it:

PS: it's too large so you have to download it sorry

[starlightshadowsworld]

Concept: Because of his connection to The Book Atsushi is not affected by what’s written in it the same way as everyone is.

Essentially any narrative that’s written into The Book is known by all it effects like any other common knowledge.

Everyone that is, apart from Atsushi.

Ango: Right so we’ll have to hide out in the Sky Casino.

Lucy: Of course.

Kyouka: Naturally, it’s the best place for us.

Atsushi:…I’m sorry the what?!

Lucy: Now’s not the time to act dumb.

Atsushi: I’m not acting what are you guys talking about?

Kyouka: The Sky Casino is a casino in the sky. It’s a perfect place for us to hide because it’s a state that operates outside of the jurisdiction of any nation under international law.

Atsushi: And no one else thinks it’s a little weird?

Ango: You’re a weretiger, Atsushi stranger things can happen in this world.

Atsushi: I know but…This feels off.

Lucy: I don’t know what to tell you. It’s real and everyone knows about it.

Atsushi: But I don’t. I have no memory of anything like this existing. Even now when you tell me about it, it feels made up. There’s just, I can’t explain it but it feels like you’re all-

Ango: Telling you a story?

Atsushi: Huh, yeah actually.

Kyouka: What is it?

Ango: There may be more at here at play then we realise.

Now Atsushi can see and board the Sky Casino. He can see and interact with Sigma. It’s just that Atsushi’s aware that there’s something fundamentally different about them.

But he can’t explain why.

It’s like seeing a regular gun and seeing one conjured up from Kunikida’s ability. Identical to all that would see it but if put side by side before him, Kunikida would know immediately which one he created.

But he couldn’t tell you why you knew, it was instinctive.

BSD CHAPTER 123.5 SPOILERS!!!!!

AGAIN?!?! ARE WE PLAYING A GAME NOW? HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE KILL AKUTAGAWA IN HOWEVER THE FUCK LONG ITS BEEN SINCE THE FIRST TIME???

Like I get that he's likely not technically dead and he'll be in the Ame-no-Gozen or whatever, but still did we really have to kill him again? This makes what 3 times? Not to mention the illness that he was already dying from? Like Jesus christ, leave him alone already

Also

WHY IS DAZAI HERE? AGAIN!

Bro is everywhere but in prison

Handing out hallucinations like fucking gifts on christmas

And why the fuck is there a piano????

Not to mention, we just got the whole, Atsushi is the most important person in Akutagawa's life thing, literally last chapter

Dazai has to be influencing this somehow, cuz wtf? This brings it to like four people that have hallucinated him give or take??? (Ik atsushi doesn't technically count cuz it was the orphanage director or whatever but still)

Ango, Chuuya, Atsushi, AND Akutagawa??

Like damn why do we see so much Dazai but not the REAL Dazai.

I'm gonna predict what happens with Atsushi next:

Atsushi actually just looks like he's going to kill Ueda but in reality he's gonna slash at the bonds and use some lame ass line about how "convient doesn't alway mean it is right" and then work to find another way to fix everything (probably the book) and then atsushi will have to do some sort of crazy thing that only he can do cuz hes the bookmark and then dazai is gonna show up AGAIN but this time it might actually be him or part of his consciousness or smth and he's eother going to advise them against what they're doing and if we're lucky (which we are often not) theres gonna be some major lore thing for him or he'll help in some way. But at the same time, he's still figuring shit out at the prison, Sigma is still unconscious, and Chuuys is pissed.

Unrelated, but Fyodor was going back to France, and I kinda want him and Nikolai to meet again, but at the same time, I don't because Nikolai will almost definitely die if they reunite.

Also, I doubt it's possible, but if someone could figure out what song Dazai is playing or if it's not a song, like figure out what it sounds like, that would be awesome

[elkieanddoppo]

this is quite interesting !!!

bc of how much we lack on kunikida's lore, all these things that we currently know about kunikida doesnt seem to make a lot of sense. it's like it was just made up on the spot for the sake of creating something in the last minute, creating a fake identity.

the book theory on god is so good. credits to my friend, kiel, on twitter. i love you /p

[wonx2]

Realized i havent posted my Sigma theory on tumblr so here goes, i doubt im the first one to think of this.

Sigma was not created by book but summoned by it from a different world

In Beast Dazai says how when something is written in book, the real world and the book world change places/the book world is summoned in its place.

So in one of those infinite worlds within a book Sigma was already alive when his existence was summoned into the real world. And he doesn't remember it since Dazai is the only one who can remember it because he was able to create a singularity and merge the memories. So no singularity=no memories.

What makes me certain of this theory is that when Sigma woke up all he had was "a train ticket to a non-existent station". Doesn't it make perfect sense that the train station actually does exist but in a different world rather then just him spawning with this random but extremely specific thing?

And Fyodor, the person who knows the most about Sigma says this about him, I think he wouldn't have to make a point how he's an outsider in THIS world, and how had Sigma been actually created by the book he technically wouldn't be an outsider since he comes from the real world as well.

In conclusion Sigma was summoned to this world with some purpose. Biggest thing this changes is the fact that he actually had a home 3 years ago and it was taken from him by coming into the real world. It could possibly change how his ending is played out: would he find out about this and strive to go back or would he come at peace with his circumstances and continue living in real world

Ango never became a government worker agian.

We know that in Dark Era he went back to working for the government, the events of Dark Era itself were caused by that, but eventhough he worked there, Ango never became one of the agents again. And it's not just because he helped Dazai escape the mafia and the government that I'm saying this.

The book doesn't affect Ango, he believed in the Agency's innocence from the start. There was never a moment that he questioned it, even though he works for the government and everyone else was affected. He believed in their innocence, something that Tachihara couldn't do until he chose the Port Mafia over the Hunting Dogs. He helps Dazai with Mersault, and the Agency members as much as he can because Dazai asked.

He was loyal, just not to the government. But to the Stray Dogs (to Odasaku and Dazai). The fact that he dislikes disloyalty and yet is a traitor makes a lot more sense when you know that there are very few that he is truly loyal to.

[valenteal]

Ok I finally got it. Natsume had the book, either he created it or it was given to him or he found it, then he gave it to Oda (the third installment of the series that’s so rare because it’s literally the book) then Oda gives up the book when the kids die by telling Dazai about it (or at least giving him enough information to figure it out there by making Dazai the new owner). But Oda had written in the book, created an opportunity for Dazai to have a better life and do good. But he left it at his own death so Dazai would still be making the choice himself. Dazai finds the book among Oda’s belongings and tries to bring Oda back and give him happiness and then BEAST happens. He creates a world in which Oda is happy, uses Akutagawa as the protagonist and creates Atsushi using the Book to be the antagonist/shapeshifter, bases his ability on Natsume’s and lets the story unfold. But because of a singularity caused by his ability interacting with the Book instead of changing his own realities past he creates an alternate reality that only he is aware of. In that alternate reality he cannot die until the story is completed and he passes the Book on to the next Author/Authors. So he passes it to Akutagawa and Atsushi and kills himself knowing there is a reality in which Oda is happy. Back in the main universe Dazai struggles to continue the story/find a successor, because he can’t die unless he doesn’t own the book but he can only alter the future, not the past or present. So he writes a story about 6 organizations vying for the book beginning 2 years in the future, it takes him 2 years to write. He uses Atsushi as the protagonist this time and sets him up to inherit the book with a heroes journey to prepare him and Dazai as his mentor to guide him.

Dazai will die at the end, no doubt about it. The entire story is written by Dazai, which is why he always knows what’s going to happen. He gave the single page to the special operations division to set up the decay of angels arc. He and Fyodor are so similar because Dazai wrote him. Well, he wrote his actions and how it played out, but the DoA existed before he got the book.

I think maybe his suicide attempts, at least serious ones, stopped while he was in the Mafia. He was searching for meaning in life and he caught a glimpse of it in the Mafia. He wasn’t invincible while he was there, he was just not trying to die. But after Oda died his suicidal tendencies came back in full force, but Oda had made him unable to die without writing a story with narrative consistency so he couldn’t just say “then Dazai Osamu died painlessly in his sleep.”

Btw if anyone else came up with the same thing I swear I didn’t steal it. I didn’t look at any theories currently in circulation. Mostly because I’ve been focusing on canon but also because so many people just don’t understand the fundamentals of the story or characters so I knew if I did I would be sifting through endless painful misinterpretations. (Yes I’m a bit of a bitch and a lit snob im not gonna deny it. But I took an advanced accelerated college lit class at 17 so I would say my confidence is warranted)

[ghostlytragicangel]

I was just thinking about the book for one of my fanfics and realised that we don't know how Fyodor knows about it or how anyone knows it exists. According to the wiki, The book is a supernatural book desired by different parties of ability users. Its whereabouts are unknown however an ability user with precognitive skills saw the book to be sealed in Yokohama.

However, it is slightly unclear what it means by saw the book to be sealed as that could mean that they simply saw it get sealed with their ability or they sealed it themselves using their knowledge of future events to perhaps protect it foreseeing that something like this was going to happen or to ensure that this would happen.

So you’re telling me Dazai created all these aliterate universes just so Oda and him would stay friends, but in every single universe they don’t work out.

[vjjjeeee]

MY BSD BOOK THEORY

I did this as a video on tik tok but I wanted to share it here. This will look at a possible candidate for who created the book.

First we need to establish what the book is. The book, according to Fitzgerald is a blank novel that whatever is written inside becomes the truth. Fyodor also states that the tiger is a bookmark to the novel. However, some fans forget that the book is still blank, like a notebook waiting to be written inside.

Now onto the theory, I beleive that the book was created by Homer, the author of the Odyssey and the Illiad. I came to this conclusion as it would make sense for an important artifact to be created by one of the original story tellers and he has also inspired many authors in bsd.

Some examples include Rimbaud, who references the muses which was a part in ancient epics, not just the work of Homer. Gogol also mention a story of Achilles in his novel Dead Souls. Dostoevsky mention the odyssey in The Brothers Karamazov. This is relevant as authors being referenced to appear later on as bigger villains is something that has happened in the story. Dazai mentions Dostoevsky in no longer human, so it is possible for Homer to appear at some point.

Another piece of information to take in is that historians believed that Homer was blind, due to him including blind bards as a sort of self insert, which in the ancient world, made you closer to the gods. An example being many prophets in ancient text where blind, a big one being Tiriseus.

This would explain what Ranpo says about the creator of the book may not be human or beyond the bsd world.

Sigma can also be used an example here as the original term was from Greece, which is where Homer and all his epics, are from. Also, Sigma’s want for a home links to the themes in the Odyssey with Odysseus wanting to get home and the main themes of Xenia.

It could also be possible for Homer to be an organisation with some historians thinking Homer could have been multiple people, allowing for more ancient authors to appear in bsd.

My knowledge of Homer comes from me studying him at a level.

okay, so you know how Fyodor ripped the page apart? Whenever someone breaks out of the power of the book, it always does the page breaking apart, so what if Fyodor breaking the page means that everyone who was still under the power of the book and didn’t believe the ADA was innocent now do.

[kaurwreck]

I‘m curious how you think Natsume‘s book/The Book works because I‘ve also always assumed that the mysterious third novel that couldn’t be found anywhere and had a missing page (as in Natsume‘s novel) was The Book that everyone is after + I don’t think it was a coincidence that both Oda and the character in the book were assassins who gave up being assassins. But something that confuses me is that The Book is supposed to be empty and the novel Oda was reading was not. So did Natsume basically write BSD’s storyline and that’s what Oda was reading and does the book become empty again once something gets fulfilled or…. Or do you think the mechanics don’t really matter?

I don't think the Book exists in the way everyone thinks it does. There was an entire episode/chapter in which Fyodor convinced another character that he had a reality manipulation ability when he didn't. I think the same thing has happened here.

[starlightshadowsworld]

Headcannon that their is only one Book that exists.

Every world, every universe has its own manifestation of the Book in it. But none of them is the true Book.

The true Book is something that cannot manifest in its entirely into any of these worlds. Because it's power would just be too immense that it would actually destabilise the world.

Which gives us that warning from Bsd Beast. My headcannon in that universe is that each world that has itself a page, a fragment of the true Book.

And the plan of Beast Fyodor is to gather each and every page to re-construct the true Book. To manifest it's complete form into reality.

One under his control and use it's power to rewrite the world and create it a new without the existence of special abilities.

[thelesbododo]

I find it interesting that Atsushi was said to be the guide to the book and one of the first people he met outside of the orphanage was Dazai, someone who is very likely connected to the book

Book Theory: Kunikida's Ideals is the Book

[minugasakuranohana]

А что если прототип того "пророка" в псах, который сказал, где будет найдена книга, — это американский "спящий пророк" из хх века, Эдгар Кейси, а прототип книги — "Хроники Акаши" или книга принадлежит Хроникам, и то место, где она запечатана, это копия приютской библиотеки, но в высшем измерении, ну как в самой последней части Нарнии было, когда все умерли?!
