Me going to tuition whether I like it or not cause I need to pass:

ok well im going to build a good future for myself whether i like it or not

oh and another take that I feel the mxtx- specifically mdzs fandom needs to hear is that none and i mean none of the characters have any set morality. this applies to their mindset, actions, feelings- the entire point is that you see where all the characters come from and recognise their actions. none of them are completely 100% good or bad. the point of the entire novel isn't to see and judge their actions. it's to see where they come from, what mindset requires those terrible or honourable actions. is it okay to call out a character on their actions? yes. but please for the love of mo xiang tong xiu remember what caused those actions and whether your call out is necessary instead of making posts like "character A was just trying his best and character B came and ruined everything that's why I hate character C". no. almost all the characters are shitty to some extent albeit in different categories. recognise that and you will appreciate mdzs even more.

Mori is a grounded genius, and I love it

We all know how BSD super geniuses can sometimes feel way over the top and almost like their just all knowing, this is mostly limited to Dazai, Fyodor and Ranpo, but I wanted to talk about an underrated genius who feels a lot more grounded and realistic

Mori Ougai.

Using a death threat written in crayon and a gifted who no one could ever take seriously (Kaiji) to make the guild underestimate him, only to destroy their base and two of their top gifted without a single casualty.

Faking an assassination attempt to find out where the agency's base is.

His strategy of using the office staff to get the guild and agency to fight each other without wasting any manpower was amazing and he managed to get both sides in a position where they couldn't refuse despite knowing it was a trap.

All of these are brilliant strategies that workout exactly as he wanted, but they are also grounded in real life tactics in war and actual game theory, which we know Mori study's, they also all make sense and don't rely on some kind of crazy super omniscience to work like some of Dazai's plans. overall it makes Mori feel like an actual competent leader and that makes him even scarier.

He makes mistakes, Mori also does sometimes make mistakes in his strategy, or is blindsided by things he has no way of knowing about, like unleashing Q which was a reckless move that he probably only did because he was over confident after all his victories.

He is blindsided by Lovecraft since he could never have imagined their would be someone immune to Q's curse in the Guild and it cost him dearly when the city was nearly destroyed.

He is also very opportunistic, making a deal with the agency to benefit the mafia, taking advantage of their desperation to bolster his own forces.

He never makes a move that doesn't benifit him, and he always acts logically which makes him both more terrifying and effective, he doesn't pointlessly try to destroy the agency when it wouldn't help him.

He doesn't try to take over the world, he simply works to maintain the city and organization he loves using whatever means necessary even the most cruel and disturbing things imaginable.

Overall he is an amazing villain/character who I find far more scary then Fyodor and I'm glad he is written so grounded yet terrifying
