i always feel bad when i see how the point of a lot of saiki's personality traits flew right over the heads of a lot of fans due to him being an unreliable narrator and a tsundere lol.. so a lot of things he says are immediately proved to be untrue and often just him putting up a front, but some people dont pick up on it..
like i see a lot of "haha saiki would never want to watch a romance movie" guys there is an entire chapter (170) dedicated to him being like "i much prefer mysteries to romance stories.." and then immediately becoming absolutely enamored with a romance story.. he was lying, guys, LMAO
less specific ones include:
"i hate children, they annoy me" *goes out of his way to help kids, comfort them, be kind to them, etc.*
"i only use my powers for self gain/my own convenience." "anyway my mama told me to never use my powers selfishly so i always use them to help people and i try my best not to use them for personal gain<3"
"those guys are so annoying, i would never hang out with them willingly." "yeah it took them about two sentences to convince me to go with them. their thoughts seemed like they really wanted me to go, so i did. i didnt want them to be upset. not that i care about them or anything."
(sorry i post about this kind of thing a lot, i just giggle a lot at how the entire manga is so easily misinterpreted and thousands of people have watched the show but didnt pick up on the main characters most defining character traits and frequent bits.. i think there needs to be a masterlist or something disproving all the extremely common misconceptions about saiki k lol)

i think one of my favourite things about house md is that we all call him hate crimes md and malpractice md but like
there's a point where the show veers suddenly into war crimes md, and the funniest fucking thing about it is that it's not even house

Conspiracy to Commit Murder
Hi guys, before the new episode comes out I just want to make sure we're clear on one minor thing I've seen... I don't know if people are just saying this as a joke but for clarity's sake:
Dazai was not charged with 138 counts of murder.
He was charged with 138 counts of conspiracy to commit murder.
Might sound minor but these are different things with different implications - the first means he killed 138 people with his own hands. The second means he was involved in the agreement to commit these murders - both in making the arrangement and in taking overt action to further it (examples include making plans, getting weapons, readying a getaway car, or making sure the victim is in a particular place at a particular time). So these murders likely include the kills by his squad as an executive (giving orders), and the Double Black missions with Chuuya (making plans, situating things). Also note that you do not have to have the victim successfully be killed to be charged with conspiracy to commit murder (at least that I know of under American law... if someone knows if this is the same or different under Japanese law, I would appreciate that confirmation!).
This isn't meant to be a correction to absolve Dazai of any of this - 138 people (at least) still... very much died, but it tells us something about the way Dazai operates that makes him so scarily effective, and it's something outright stated in Dazai's Entrance Exam after Sasaki is killed:
It makes a difference, especially when we'll be seeing the contrasts between Fyodor and Dazai later on. Dazai is quite indirect in dealing with things, for the most part - his strategies rely on positioning things and people so that they will make the choice themselves, as he predicts they will. Fyodor is also capable of manipulating others, but tends to be more direct about it - either they destroy themselves, he takes direct control of them in some way, or he does the deed himself.
Hope this helped and uh... didn't come across as rude or anything. It's a small detail but I think it affects character perception.

It’s so cute how the majority of Simpsons and Futurama fans are actually huge misogynists (it’s not cute I hate it). It’s so nice that people who like my favourite shows are homophobic and transphobic (no it’s not nice it’s absolutely awful).
I want to tear my fucking hair out is tumblr the only place where I can openly like a FUCKING TV SHOW?!?!
