The greatest writer who ever lived was pretty tortured, so yes, I do believe so.

I see you have already fallen into despair.
I just want to watch cute /lit/ boys doing cute despairing things while coughing up blood and having multiple affairs. They chose a cute actor, too, not some plastic k-pop boy. Look at those dark, enchanting eyes full of suffering and loneliness. That's a face to commit lover's suicide with.
Text says "No Longer Human: Dazai Osamu and Three Women. A true story of turmoil and forbidden love." Or some nicer sort of translation for that.

No Longer Human

Pic related, it's /our cuck/

Why do INTPs (like me btw) make the most based authors?

Can some femanons tell me if Dazai was handsome?

Also, attractive/cool/aesthetic authors thread.

>tfw no /lit/ bf to hear sweet, sweet philosophic nothings from

why even life

Japanese people seem to have the bushiest eyebrows out of all of the people of Asia. I wonder why.

>A small window opened over my room, through which I could see the interior. The light was lit and two animals were visible.
>My eyes swam, but I murmured to myself through my violent breathing. "This is just another aspect of the behavior of human beings. There's nothing to be surprised at." I stood petrified on the staircase, not even thinking to help Yoshiko.
>Horiki noisily cleared his throat. I ran back up to the roof to escape and collapsed there.

>Slay mad pussy your whole life
>Still depressed
>Still alienated
>Still unhappy
There is probably a lesson for incels here

I find depression,suicide and existensial crisis to be a common theme in alot of writers lives or the works they create.Have any reason why /lit/?

sanity

You wont see me again.

>when you let slip your mask for an instant and reveal a fraction of the pain, fear, bitterness, and misery that's grown in your heart; instantly gaining the contempt of everyone around you

I wish I had enough money to just visit prostitutes; I'm so sexually frustrated that I don't even have the energy to jerk off anymore. The people around me seem to understand life, to be able to navigate it unthinkingly, to form genuine connections with others, to fuck and laugh and drink and enjoy themselves. I wish I was able to do that, but something about me betrays my inner distance from the world, my loneliness, my anxiety, so they avoid me like dog shit, if not actively conspire against me to rid themselves of my presence.

Sometimes I can muster up the energy inside myself to go out, to run from place to place, person to person, smiling at everyone, doing all I can to entertain them, hiding my own unhappiness to stimulate some happy and carefree conversation, but it never works. The energy to live that farce always subsides, I disappear back into my interior world, life goes on ceaselessly around me and the people I've tried so hard to entertain don't even notice my absence.

Sometimes I try to be honest about my life, my thoughts, my feelings, but this seems to be the surest way to loose friends. Giving yourself over to even a moment of self pity, fear, misery, or reflection on life and most people will be angry, outraged in fact, that you've stopped your theatrics, your performance of normalcy, to break the third wall and address the audience as yourself.

Point is OP, I don't enjoy your threads, but I respect and understand them. Keep up the good work. If you haven't already, read Céline; I've been reading Voyage and it's made me feel a lot less alone in the world.

/lit/zens, please give me the Osamu Dazai's ebooks of "No Human" and "Decline of a Man" books? All the versions I have found are incomplete.

Also, tell what you think of the author and his works. Thanks.
