“I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these creatures spend their time explaining, realizing happily that they agree with each other. In Heaven's name, why is it so important to think the same things all together.”
— Jean-Paul Sartre, “Nausea”

how i perceive skk and their philosophical beliefs, particularly existentialism and absurdism
in my opinion, dazai's an existentialist. his character explores around the concept of finding meaning in life bcs he has no idea what's the point of it all. is there even value in the act of living? or is it just a foolish desire human beings have?
we all know dazai struggles with human emotions and has a constant conflict with his own identity
and yet, dazai constantly makes his choices in order to seek meaning (ex. staying in the mafia for a period of time, joining the ada, saving people, etc.)
the thing is, he WANTS to learn what it means to be human; wants to understand and find the value of life
as for chuuya, i believe he's an absurdist.
chuuya's journey is simply—for lack of a better word—ridiculous.
he has faced many absurd challenges in his life, yet managed to turn his life around through sheer force of will (mind you), and continues to live through it all with a devoted passion towards maintaining his relationship with humanity
like dazai, chuuya also struggles feeling human. at his worse moments, he feels like a weapon only wielded for war
despite that, chuuya continues living and commits himself to the people around him as an act of defiance in my opinion
yes, the conditions of his life is inane. laughable. maybe even pointless. but does it matter?
he doesn't particularly care abt the greater value of life or actively search for the meaning behind it, since he has already lived his entire life accepting its madness
he does and will constantly choose to live in spite of his conditions bcs he refuses to give in to the notion that he's not human and therefore shouldn't even cease to exist
in the end, chuuya rejects the promise of death and the power of destruction he's clearly capable of in order to stay in touch with his humanity—no matter how absurd his life is

Quote
We go towards something that is not yet, and we come from something that is no more. We are what we are by what we came from. We have a beginning as we have an end. There was a time that was not our time. We hear of it from those who are older than we; we read about it in history books; we try to envision the unimaginable billions of years in which neither we nor anyone was who could tell us of them. It is hard for us to imagine our "being-no more." It is equally difficult to imagine our "being-not-yet." But we usually don’t care about our not yet being, about the indefinite time before our birth in which we were not. We think: now we are; this is our time -- and we do not want to lose it. We are not concerned about what lies before our beginning. We ask about life after death, yet seldom do we ask about our being before birth. But is it possible to do one without the other?
Paul Tillich, The Eternal Now

Being & Man
Today, it’s the first day Life grips in a new way: From the womb of fateful past I break free; shadows cannot last.
Inner eye opens to new light, Swearing off all chains and angst To rise, or fall, or be cast out: Choose to become, my truth shout.
With strength of will, mind sound, I shall walk and stare it down, That misshapen karmic plan And naked, stand, Being Man.

“There is not one big cosmic meaning for all; there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.”

Because we all live in a wounded house And living here will be the death of me Someone's got to be the death of me ...Somebody's got to be the death of me
Now we are going to the sad artworks again!
This was an experimental collage piece made to express some, very difficult feelings I've dealt since last year. In 2022 I dealt with a loss in the family and friendships falling apart, its... now left me with feeling that everything is rotting around me and eventually ill be left with nothing but bittersweet memories and pain. This leads me to be full of self destructive feelings urges to isolate myself to spare myself from the pain, and I always feel like death is looming over me to remind me its coming for my loved ones (I don't actually care so much that itll come for me, however). Also living in a urban area where things are falling apart due to economic decay isn't something that helps those feelings either.
The vulture headed man in the trenchcoat actually has a name, his name is Mani and he's another new sona thats made to express my more morose feelings, I'll eventually post proper drawings of him dkjjjsds
All images were taken from wikimedia commons, the scarf was sourced from one of my own photos.

I really enjoyed the pilot of The Amazing Digital Circus, both the animation and the slightly (or maybe more than slightly) disquieting undertone of the premise and show.
And as soon as I got about five minutes into it, I thought of this Twilight Zone episode. There are enough similarities that I wonder if it played any role in inspiring the creators at GLITCH:
s03e14 "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" This teaser sets out the situation:
