AFBAFWNWTAORTM: A Bungou Stray Dogs Jokefic

Summary:

This book is satire. It's not to mock the anime/manga. The anime/manga is a mature and serious topic type. This book will delve into deep topics, such as childhood trauma, morbid fascination with death, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, delusion, loss of innocence, etc. It's meant to make fun of how a specific type of fanfiction is terrible now, how it dumbs down serious topics addressed in franchises, how it romanticizes characters who should not be romanticized, how it takes away important qualities of characters that people relate to, or people hate. Osamu Dazai is an example of a man of serious damage that people romanticize (they romanticize his burden of being alive, not seeing himself as qualified to be human). I am not Dazai. But I find it uncomfortable when someone says they would "die with him 😍😍" without taking into account his heavy weight of presence that he wishes did not have to exist. To himself, Dazai was not human, but to someone like me, he was the only true human who didn't see it because everyone he'd seen were not human themselves.

Chapter 1: Introducing...

Chapter Text

...our protagonist!

Jennifer Lang/Ren!

Ren is a girl who practically lives in her head. It's often full of adventurous scenarios she wishes she could be a part of for real. After wishing on a shooting star, she spirals during her dreams and ends up in the adventure she wished for, but realizes it may not be what she expected.

Supporting characters (OC's):

Zara Farley: Zara is also from the real world

Lena Adler: Lena's a bit complicated...

Joseph Crete: Joeseph's just a coffee guy that somehow ends up here

William Shatner (WHAT- Dazai, you can't add that!): Not actually a character in the story

I'm not Dazai!

Tiresias Horon: He sees...(Yes, I listened to EPIC: The Musical and may have been inspired)

Sheamus O'Hyde: A member of my made-up Redhead Society (You'll see later), and also Zara's parental figure

No, please, I don't want to complicate things by adding the Redhead Society! *casually crying*

(Fine)

Sheamus O'Hyde: Zara's parental figure

Yes, that's much better ^-^

Oh yes, and of course, we have the cast of Bungou Stray Dogs!

If you're reading this, you're hopefully a fan of BSD and who they are because I am terrible at explanations, hehe!

Alright, so! Don't burn me at the stake for this...
