#random rambles
#The last ask sent me on five different tangents I wasted the whole afternoon over
#I opted against adding this to the ask because it'd be unrespectful to Anon but if I don't let it out somewhere I'll die
#Everyone knows how beyond what it may look like that I don't like bsd and that includes Beast
#But the ask touches the exact reason why I think Beast ultimately fails as a story
#because it constantly tries to frame Akutagawa as evil and heartless; but what's framed as his most cruel action
#- the one of mindlessly slaughtering his enemies at the start - is itself moved by love
#And I know someone in the wings is already arguing
#“that's the whole point. the reader is supposed to see through it‚ and see that Akutagawa wasn't inherently evil to begin with”
#… But I don't think that's the case. This is not the place to talk about it but at the same time I don't want to make a post about it
#but at the same time I feel like I won't have peace untill I've brought this up.
#That's not the case because 1) Dazai says it's not the case‚ and Dazai is the character with most authority in the entire franchise
#and 2) Ryuunosuke's later scene with Gin reinforces the fact that Akutagawa's action was cruel and inhuman
#But it's not true. It's just that the author is a little nihilist that doesn't believe humans are inherently good.
#So please let's just stop pretending they aren't? Because bsd fans. in my very humble opinion - are in severe need of someone
#to remember them they are free to like aspects of the franchise even without acting like its morals aren't completely fucked up
#Sorry for derailing it's been tormenting me since forever I desperately needed to mention it somewhere.
#I've recently read someone say that bsd sustained that humans are inherently good and like... What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck.
#Like there ARE series that do that? T/pn is one of them? Read t/pn if you want that? It's good?
#But bsd definitely doesn't c'mon it's not that hard
#Ugh. sorry for this. It was just to say
#I love Beast but I don't like bsd and Beast is part of bsd and Beast does ultimately adhere to bsd's fucked up morals Kyotag out
#I'm just saying we should all be able to recognize where our personal worldviwes end and where the author's start.
#If you don't you aren't reading you're projecting
#I'm not even rereading this
#if I'll overthink it a second more I know it'll end up together with my millions black posts at the bottom of my drafts
