I'm probably gonna make 2 posts abt this book bcs I love it sm. this first one won't focus on the romance and more of like- the surroundings, specially Hazel's favorite book, AIA. I read the book at school so yeah that embarassed me bcs I was crying when the teacher came in.
Before I dive into AIA, I want to really talk about the surroundings of the book, the other people yk, aside from Augustus and Hazel. The book, aside from the romance, shows how people respond to other people with cancer, I mean, how they manage it. We see it with Hazel's mother and father, with Augustus' family as well as Monica(Isaac's ex). They all responded differently to their loved one's having cancer, and they treat it differently too. But I won't focus on that, I want to focus on how it affects them, and apply it to real life situations. The book doesn't really hide the fact that everyone around them feels bad for them, and that their parents are sad about it. And it's a good detail because the book is a romance book, but it deals so much with the "losing someone" concept. I love how you feel butterflies in your stomach yet heartwrecking pain at the same time. because the sadness in it, the way Hazel just accepted her fate, the way Augustus accepted his, and Isaac too. They never had hope from the start but their families and the people around them did. It's easy to have hope when you're not the one struggling.
But thats the thing. Hazel accepted her fate easily. but Augustus? She could not.
In Augustus' story, Hazel is part of the other people. She's his collateral damage. Hazel feared being the time bomb for Augustus but it turns out Augustus was the real one.
Its devastating to read the parts where Augustus was slowly succumbing to his cancer. Because the chapters were suddenly so short, Every time I flipped the book I got scared bcs it chapter got faster and faster. shorter and shorter. Then the devastating "Augustus Waters died"
Everyone was affected by Augustus' conditiion, everyone was collateral damage, their emotions were side effects. MAN I CAN'T DO THIS RN IM CRYING ILL POST AGAIN SOME OTHER DAY
The ultimate "you had to be there"
Season 5 of bsd was such a time to be alive. Manga readers being a little wary of the anime release since it seems too close to the current manga arc. As more episodes are released, the fans grow more and more concerned as to how the season will continue while running out of manga content. But no, everyone calmed down for a second because the skk gunshot scene was released after season 5 started airing and inevitably after the episodes were completely prepared, so there's no way we'll see it in animation now. Now we're like, shit, will the anime just make up some filler to finish the season? Or could they possibly switch to a light novel at some point? As we contemplate this, the skk gunshot scene is actually animated, and now everyone has lost their goddamn mind and we're all confused as hell because the anime has weirdly caught up to the manga in an arc where, mind you, the world is quite literally ending and war is starting and 90% of the cast is dead dying or missing. And it all comes down to a finale that has united both manga readers and anime watchers in terms of having no knowledge as to what the fuck is going to happen next. It didn't matter where you were in the fandom—everyone was freaking out. It was glorious. It was peak human experience. It is one for the history books.
I think it's a callback to Sullivan and Amduscias! how the two of them had different ways of coping when the Delkira disappeared. with Sullivan waiting and amduscias helping the other side to get delkira back! this is cuter cuz it's like they're breaking the cycle.
okay we all love the love trio, But you guys saw the foreshadowing too right?
This is very cute but its also clearly foreshadowing iruma getting deported

There is so much love in knb . Every episode someone does something or says something that leave me like this

Fyodor is so smart for doing that ngl, like Chuuya and Dazai are very far away😭😭😭 who knows how long it'll take for them to arrive lol
Also what'll happen after that causes the "2 hours later" sequence in the anime???? Like hello??? ik it's the tripolar singularity BUT 2 HOURS??? HOW LONG IS THAY MAN?? Were Dazai and Chuuya already there?
It's like, the only people who can beat the main villains are on the other side of the world😭
I saw sumwhere that said only a singularity can beat a singularity like??? CHUUYA???? WHERE??? and assuming that Fyodor was also the one that achieved singularity.........DAZAI?? like Dazai is the only one that can actually kill Fyodor that's fr crazy like wth man😭 but like it's not even sure yet so it's a gamble. And does Fyodor get the ability of whoever owns the body?? Like what if Dazai kills him and he pulls an "I resurrect into Dazai's body and now have No Longer Human" UWSHWUSW pls why is it coming back in June FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED ASAGIRI KAFKA
