natsume soseki did not say "don't say 'i love you', instead say 'the moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it'" FOR NONE OF YOUS TO WRITE IT INTO UR FICS!!!!!!!!
#BSD FANDOM ESPECIALLY!!! HES OUR GUY!!! HES THERE!!!#i say this very loosely bc like idk how it went#its a rumour that he said this right#but like fomr what i remember#natsume soseki was an incredibly talented translator but i think he preferred writing original novels#but he was one of the pushers of colloqusalised translations rather than direct which was more popular at the time#so one of his students came up to him w a novel translated from english to japanese and in part of it#one of hte characters said 'i love you'#BUT apparently natsume said that wasnt very realistic in japan due to cultural norms (iirc) and saying ' i love you' would seem too intimat#therefore instead of saying that#say something like 'the moon is beautiful tonight isnt it'#ANYWHO USE IT MORE!!!! i watched a kdrama a while back that used that (hype bc the premise was they were at a publishing firm)#and hwen i say ive never thrown myself across the room harder#pretty pretty please use it also do not take this story time as truth im stupid as fuck and also could be completely wrong but im p sure#thats how it went idk#FHDSJKF#lea.txt#bungo stray dogs#bsd#sobbing violently#bungou stray dogs#natsume soseki
