putting my hands on your shoulders looking directly into your eyes why are you so insistent that Dazai is faking every emotion every second of every day except when he's acting mean or evil why do you think his dark side is more true than his happier or sillier sides
do you not also have multiple facets you show different people? are we not all beautiful multifaceted individuals? are your actions and reactions not influenced by your emotions and state of mind?
can't he laugh at his own jokes? can't he fondly think of the Agency? can't he be dramatic because he wants to? can't he be surprised by something suddenly happening, even if he knew it would happen? do you not jump when the jack in the box gets out even if you were the one working the mechanism?
why would the mean persona be more real? why would any and all joy be faked? why are you only allowing him misery?

You ever think about Greater Boston for 0.2 seconds and have to sit down (even though you're already sitting) because the sheer wildness and goodness of this show keeps hitting you abruptly when you least expect it?
The complete absurdity of its concepts combined with the genuine earnestness of it, the fucking HUMANITY that this show throws at you, again and again and again, until you, a random person who was in it because Leon Stamatis is husband material, you who listened to the first episodes with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and had no idea who the hell Mark Wahlberg even was, pondering all the while if this was just not a bit too much for you coz you weren't feeling in on the inside joke, YOU are having stupid sympathetic emotions seeing the real Ben Affleck because, after all, hasn't he just lost Matt Damon to a train crash who only had minor casualities because a former evil publisher had been redeemed enough to team up with a ghost whose mind had been trapped in a cheese robot-turned-train-conductor..??
It's the casual way this show takes you by the hand for an insane ride where half the time you're like "what the HELL is going on" and then when you're done with it every single character just keeps sitting with you, right there, even the most silly ones, because this show has actually been whispering to you in your ear the whole time: this is humanity, those are humans, look at them, look at the instinctive kindness and the anger and the pettiness and the joy and the silliness and the generosity and the sadness and the grief and the relief and the compassion and the understanding and and and and and --
i fucking love greater boston man. it just sink into your skin and it won't let go and i can't be mad about it.
