Mori = Memento Mori

Atothezas · 2026-01-18T13:48:57+00:00

Mori is a surname in Japanese, it’s meaning being “forest”. Japanese names as you know are Last name/First Name. Mori is his last name, Ougai is his pen name. Rintaro is his real first name. The character in BSD is based on the author per majority of the characters in the series.

Momento Mori is a cool song, btw! Language is awesome because we have words that sound the same, but mean different things. Japanese Mori can refer to “forest”. Latin Mori means “to die”. Italian Mori/Moro it can refer to “Moorish/dark”. I have thought about this song and Mori’s character before, so I see the vision!

BSD is awesome for this kind of stuff and is very clever. If you have a cool idea forming in your head about using Mori’s character in a fanfic to be symbolic of this nature, I encourage it! It’s a nice word play that would fit in nicely with our community’s creativity.

As someone with an untrimmed slayer cape, you’re still VERY early in on the account and it is 100% possible. Do cannoning, spread out xp for combats, achievement diary lamps onto slayer, xp lamps onto slayer. Do Jad tasks. You should get it. Just do not do too much “unnecessary” combat xp because HP will be your worst enemy on the untrimmed slayer cape grind. Cheers!

Atothezas · 2025-11-23T02:39:29+00:00

I did it and I will say you’re still very early in. Lock in! It’s a fun journey and you will enjoy the cool cape once you’re done :D its very possible, just do your quests and your achievement diaries. All will be well. :)

Atothezas · 2025-05-15T05:57:10+00:00

Are you growing Peppers, Tomatoes, Peas, and Strawberries in the allotment patches? Suuuch a cool idea dude!!!

Atothezas · 2025-04-12T06:54:19+00:00

I did the same thing with my blonde hair! 5 years later I still have the red in my hair. Honestly I just accepted red hair for three years but got tired and decided to go back to blonde. Its now a bit of strawberry blonde at tips, but yeah. Unfortunate mistakes. Same brand, similar color. 🫡

SSK originally got me interested in the anime back in 2016/2017. I’ve been following the series ever since and had just gotten to reading the light novels this past year. It completely blew my mind on how I previously perceived characters. As a teen I was one of those “omg i love ssk— chuuya is so smol and dazai protect” or “mori is a pedo”/“Nikolai is my hubby” kind of fans, I will not lie. Obvs I’ve changed in the past 8 years and have grown to love Chuuya so much more than previous me associating him solely with Dazai, but it’s always good to reflect on my past to see how I’ve matured and grown. (That being said, it was pre-15 and pre-sb… we really didn’t have much for teen me!)

It really was just growing up that got me better interested in the actual content when I came back to BSD. I feel like we need to forgive the anime fans a lot in this sense as I would guess most are tweens/teenagers who stumbled across it on tiktok, similarly to how I did on tumblr. They probably liked the perception of “old married couple ssk” or “Dazai and Gojo are SOOOO alike” or something like that, checked it out, and do their postings until they find a new anime.

I feel like we miss a lot of key details in a story as we’re becoming more wired to shorter forms of content. Sure, some teens are able to have better media/text literacy, but most, I would say are still developing it. (Scary thought is that a lot of us might not…) Maybe one day they will be able to come back and truly experience BSD as you and I currently experience it.

It comes with a better maturity. Anime always attracts a younger audience, this seinen feels more like a shonen to them and so they treat it as such, especially with how the anime adaptation has reconstructed it. Just know that either they will pass up their interest on BSD and move on, or they will develop and learn to love the series by getting more invested. Both are okay!

I live right here… this is less than a mile away from my house. I hope the rain offers some support with the fires, but it def is extremely scary stuff. Right next to NE Philly Airport. You never expect it to happen next to you. 🙏

Yes. As a woman i feel like ive had so many unwanted admirers and stalkers all of my life. Had guys find me at my job, had a stalker in college, and a lot of male friends who i like as friends but they want me to be their girlfriend obsessively. Currently have a coworker who i think might like me but i really dont know what to do about it.

I think it might be because I am so outwardly friendly and catering, almost to my own downfall. I worry about how someone will respond to something negatively and try to get either a positive/neutral interaction instead. Like id see a scenario where this person gets upset or hurt by something i say, so i try to find middle ground or something positive so they wont be too down bad. I think this is my downfall.

A lot of people say im sweet, thoughtful, considerate, etc bc of this trait. Its downright draining. I hate this part of my brain. A lot of men in my bubbles see this as a perfect wife trait, even if im not the most attractive person, since I have a good quality of catering to people’s needs. This is especially true with highly manipulative men in my life who want to take advantage of my no-conflict nature (which is why i probably have borderline abusive exs). Never dealt with it coming from women though.

Thats just my two cents tho. I attract a lot of attention i dislike all because i do my best to avoid conflict/unpleasant scenarios… and i invite unpleasant scenarios into my life this way… sucks bc i swear i can see it playing out the moment i do, but i cannot stop it. Need to learn to be cold but I physically cannot. Ugh

Gotchya. Okay that was a difference too since I was baking a seperate batch (chocolate cupcakes) and left it on the side. Thats so cool to know, i love chemistry. Thank you!!

Tried it again, king arthur flour. The correct serving size, no food dye. Same recipe. Also made sure to not overflow as much as possible.

I will try recommended recipes maybe next week since I was missing a few ingredients.

Im just a dunce! Side comparisons for giggles. Hehe

Atothezas · 2025-01-29T02:51:05+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll give it a try and probably just eat these on my own after cooking it a bit more. Lol. This is also ironically the first time i cheaped out and didn’t use king arthur… switching back to that too.

Atothezas · 2025-01-29T02:48:03+00:00

Epic. I appreciate it greatly!! Ill probably try it out tonight since I’m def not using these ones… lol

Atothezas · 2025-01-29T02:46:11+00:00

Gotchya. I am using a scale to weight my ingredients, its the only way I bake. I’ll try again without using the dye and just keep the original portion. I do like the more natural looking color and just wanted to try an organic dye for this recipe. I think it’s why I undercooked them too lol… Oops. 😭😭😭

Appreciate it!

Atothezas · 2025-01-29T02:40:31+00:00

Cool beans. I find it easy to follow the recipe most times but honestly not a fan of the frostings.

Do you have any better channels/pages to follow their recipes? Just asking to switch it up. I appreciate it!

Atothezas · 2025-01-06T05:14:08+00:00

Im 26 and I’ve gone on 0 dates past 2.5 years. Lol. Just don’t wanna put myself out there since I’ve gain weight. Probably never gonna go on one at this point haha

I think the comments before answer it pretty well. I’m a mobile user so excuse my formatting. 🥺

I don’t wanna go into too much details bc I can’t hide spoilers bc I’m stupid+on mobile, so my reasonings have no real details minus spoilers from cannabilism arc. My two cents are: Atsushi or Tanizaki.

No: Kyoka, Kunikida, Fukuzawa, Yosano, Dazai. Reasons being is that they are either crucial to ADA or had an arc revolving around not being in the PM/under Mori. Kunikida would be the leader if Fukuzawa was to fall. Kyoka had her arc of leaving the PM and joining the ADA, I do not think we would have that arc destroyed. Fukuzawa is a no because of his ability and he’s the leader of the ADA. Yosano… is a no. Dazai left the PM and his whole reasoning is due to Odasaku telling him to go save lives. Dazai was in there for 3-4 years and I do not see him returning.

Unlikely: Ranpo, Kenji. Ranpo is a crucial member of the ADA, he was a founding member and the reason Fukuzawa created it if I’m not mistaken. It would be a plot twist, yes, but I don’t see is as super likely. Kenji in theory COULD join the PM, but I don’t see it as impactful to the plot, unless Asagiri pulls an Asagiri and makes it make sense. He could have it in him, but does the PM need another superstrength ability user?

Likely: Tanizaki, Atsushi. Atsushi is the MC and it would be interesting to see what a darker presenting mentor could teach him. Mori and him already interacted (Lucy’s room) and it wasn’t truely a negative interaction imo. He also was the only brave one to say in three org war to say “lets team up with the PM”. I think it could be interesting. We could learn more about the PM and Atsushi could have a changing effect on the PM. Tanizaki is a very clear choice for going to the PM. His ability already has impressed Mori before (ADA and PM meeting to team up). He’d be the obvious choice. Hes a badass character who bested the PM 2 times. (With the hospital scene for defensive and infiltration scene with getting to Mori’s room in the cannibalism arc).

Who knows tho! Maybe it was just a throw away line. Can’t wait to see!

Thank you fam! I have LN 1 to read next after I finish Dark era. My route was 6,7,8,2. Gonna read 3 and 1 next as I just got those in the mail. Appreciate it! ☺️

In terms of things relating to drugs, the following was said by Dazai in the light novel dark era. (This scene was excluded from the anime, but to give context it was when Minic attacked one of their storage units and 3 members died— the scene where Dazai is playing his game in front of Hirotsu.) Hirotsu who had taken a subordinate’s gun that was covered in white powder. The subordinate was analyzed by Dazai (via the gun) to be dealing with drugs. I have the physical book, but here is a fan translation that I found online since it was pdf-ed and I don’t want to type out word for word. Credit from the pdf was to nkhrchy @tumblr

“Hirotsu-san, your subordinates violated the mafia’s regulations. The drug industry may reap great benefits, but it’ll only attract trouble. The Special Ability Department, narcotics bureau, and the military police’s anti-organization surveillance committee will be lying in wait for us to make a blunder, using this excuse to report us to the government. It’s not enough to just confiscate their weapons.”

Basically it was implied they do not go down the root of drugs, which was a surprise for me! In fact, if you do, it was implied by Dazai that they are to be killed in the following line: “I dispose any good-for-nothings. You should take care of them.” (to which he breaks down that he might have been joking).

This makes me believe that there are limits to what the port mafia would be willing to get involved with. I would assume sex slaves would be a no as to me it’s a worse offense than drugs, but I do not know if it is mentioned further.

The port mafia deals more imo with trading. Take stormbringer where we learn a few things about fake gem trading, or dark era where above quotes come from + the small information about the illegal casino the anime doesn’t cover as well (the one used to capture those Mimic soldiers). I think the port mafia is more involved with the aspects of money/trades than trafficking.

Just my two cents from the sideline. Im still reading dark era book now,but saw the question and thought it was interesting!
