__________________________________________________________

You knew you were going to be late to the costume party even before your airplane taxied down the runway. It was less than an hour before the event and you still had to wait until it was ready to disembark, get your luggage, check out your rental and then drive said rental about fifty minutes to the location of the party. That time did not include freshening up after travels or at the very least adjusting your costume and applying some makeup. A shame.

A real big shame since it was one of the few annual events that welcomed mafia members, both new and old together with their families. It was a chance for executives to get a glimpse into possible new talent, at the same time normalizing the atmosphere and the culture of mafia, fighting and abilities to children. A lot of the time it was a good way to network and meet the older generation that had long since left the field but still had unique knowledge.

More importantly it was the perfect place to gather information for blackmail.

Those who had been in the field years ago were not up to date on the latest issues and hassles between groups but, if you dropped a name or two, they’d remember that person's father, mother or grandparent. Sometimes even said target when they ran around in diapers or chased bugs in pre-school. The amount of extortion material or inspiration for blackmail you could get from those chats was impressive. In some cases these old fieldworkers would even pull a few strings for you, so you’d never actually need to get your hands dirty to get the job done.

These events were especially important for executives as it was their chance to gather new people, see their competition but also make predictions on the coming years; would they need to open up Port Mafia for outsiders to fill important positions or was there enough potential within their own people and families to avoid that.

Normally you’d attend this event with Dazai and Chuuya. Unlike the two executives who spend their time drinking with other adults (Chuuya) or hitting on women (Dazai) , your focus was on the children. Not in a creepy or weird way but rather you would keep your eye out for those children who looked bored or wandered away from their parents. You’d then catch their attention and entertain them with a few simple card- or magic tricks, a science experiment, a story or a puzzle, often gathering a bit of a crowd until the frantic parents would run up to you to get their kids. More often than you’d expect, it was the exhausted fathers who’d find you, be relieved that their kids are not screaming or crying, get acquainted with you and promise a favour in return for your babysitting duties. The mothers were often much colder and required at least two to three meetings before they’d send their child over to you. The way they’d repay those baby-sitting favours were worth the extra effort though.

You’ve done it so many times, on so many events that some children have come to recognize you just from the sound of your voice and trott over to you the moment you appeared with questions only a child could come up with. While your regular parents would pawn off their offspring onto you the moment you came into their field of vision. It was an unconventional approach to networking, however you quickly learned that there were no fiercer mafia and ex-mafia members than parents, and there was also no one who’d pull as many strings and favours as parents on a social event who had a secured babysitter they wanted to keep in their good graces.

The plane came to a halt.

The pilot's voice echoed in the speakers as you got up and reached up into the overhead compartment for your bag and suitcase. When the door opened, you were the first one off the plane. The terminal was half empty as you made your way to the car rental office where a tired attendant sat at an old fashioned computer half hiding law books in her lap- a young woman who seemed barely out of highschool. A part of you pitied her because you could have been her, but only a small part. Reaching out your booking number you waited until she produced the customary paperwork, only half listening to the regulations and requirements. You signed without reading before taking the keys out of her hands, leaving without a goodbye.

The chilly night air nipped at your skin as you made the short walk from the terminal to the car. Opening it, you tossed your suitcase into the passenger seat beside you. Then you began rummaging around until your hands came across your brush and make up bag. Running it through your hair a few times you pulled it up into a messy bun, letting several strands fall down, framing your face. Then you reached for the make up, doing a quick application of foundation and concealer. You went a bit heavier on the shadows, extenuating your cheekbones and bridge of nose even more than usual giving you a more hollow-appearance. Dark glittery eyeshadow and blood red lipstick. You didn’t bother to look at yourself in the mirror as you threw your make up carelessly back into the bag beside you and started the car. You were beginning to stretch the fine line between fashionably late and just plain late.

You put your phone into the charging port, your eyes flickering between the road as you pulled out of the airport parking following the long row of cars that headed into the city, and the frequent messages from Dazai and Chuuya. One was wondering if you landed safely while the second was trying to guess the colour of your panties. You guessed they were already on their way to the party. Maybe they had already finished their first drink.

Shaking your head you opened the window, letting in the refreshing scent of sea and city. You reached your hand out, feeling the wind scraping gently at your skin as you cruised down the half-empty highway. The gentle lull of the road was making you tired. Another message and another one lit up your phone screen- the only light inside your pitch dark car. Then a phone call from Chuuya, followed shortly by a video call from Dazai. You answered neither as you pulled off the highway into a tunnel and then down the main city streets littered with pubs, bars and brothels. The smell of cheap party girl perfume, sweat and cigarettes reached your nose, followed closely by the echo of party music, screaming and laughter. A car drove up beside you, young men inside taking the time to whistle and cat call you. You didn’t give them much attention, flipping the bird with the hand still out the window. Another cat call, which died on their lips as you pulled up in front of the large, expensive hotel with shaded windows. A valet dressed in black confirmed your identity before opening the door for you. You handed him the keys to your rental, taking your luggage with you.

The men from the car earlier lingered long enough to call an apology and a half-joking plea not to kill them before driving off with such speed it looked like hell's fire under their wheels. “ Teenagers” you shook your head as you headed inside the lobby and up to the reception.

A blanked face receptionist wearing a witches hat flickered her eyes towards you, deeming you unworthy of her time and greeting. You returned the rudeness.

“ Y/N Y/S” you stated as you placed the suitcase on the luggage rack beside you “ Take this up to Nakahara Chuuya’s room.” She double checked the information you provided on the screen before handing you a black keycard to your and Chuuya’s room. Now a pleasant welcoming smile on her lips.

“ Please enjoy your stay, Miss Y/S, my assistant will show you to the party hall.”

A young man dressed as a white rabbit, with fuzzy ears and fluffy tail and all bowed before you. Once you motioned for him to stand, he straightened out and began leading you towards the party hall, asking your drink and canape preferences. It always amazed you the way their attitude changed whenever you drop the names Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya in a casual fashion and they confirm the connection between you. All smiles and pleasantries, ready to lick your feet in hopes of bettering their own position.

Still, you couldn’t find it in you to blame them.

A distance away gentle music from the live orchestra filled the hallway. As you drew closer the music got louder, the band playing the introductory song just long enough for those fashionably late to arrive. It was soon time for the customary short speech from one of the organizers welcoming everyone before the event truly began. You could see the light from the party hall sipping into the hallway, could smell the various canapes and the sweetness of alcohol and other drinks- juice, coffee, lemonade and milkshakes. Your guide led you all the way to the opened doors where two armed guards stood, each eyeing you with mild curiosity. You lingered in the doorway long enough for the white rabbit to hop away and return with your drink of choice and a platter of canapes before you headed inside and towards one of the empty standing tables near the very back. This would be your only chance to eat and you were not planning to waste time on anything besides that.

Before you even managed to finish chewing one of the savory bites of food into your mouth, you could hear the excited chatter from a kid two tables away, no doubt pointing in your direction. Swallowing quickly you reached for your glass of champagne, turning your gaze towards said kid and his parents. Catching their eye, you raised the glass in greeting, with them quickly doing the same. Seemed networking would start earlier this year than usual. You turned your attention back to the food, eating quickly, your eyes flickering every now and again towards other tables, searching for familiar faces. Near the front you could make out Dazai, a look of mischief on his face. You felt sorry for the person that mischief was targeted towards. You were ready to bet that it was Chuuya.

You finished your drink and food just as the party began. Leaving your dishes behind, you made your way in the direction of Dazai and the several other familiar faces that hung near the front of the room. You swore you could see a black tophat and a flicker of orange in that direction too.

However before you could even make it two steps, you felt someone tug on the back of your shirt. Spinning around you were only slightly disappointed to find a little girl there looking a bit uncertain. At the same time you caught a glimpse of Chuuya making his way towards you. You felt torn for only a second, your attention turning to the tears that began to fill in the little girl's eyes, her lip quivering. Quickly you reached out into your pocket and pulled out a little coin. You twisted and twirled it in your hand for a second before closing it in your fist, then opening your hand. It was gone, you showed your hands to her before reaching up and pulling it out from behind her ear before giving it to her to inspect.

The tears dried and a smile adored her face as she put the coin in her pocket. She then reached her hand out, clearly expecting you to take it and act as if it was an honor to do that. At that age the confidence was still cute and you smiled brightly at her, trying not to think too hard about the menacing aura beside you that came closer and closer.

“ You have got to be kidding me” You heard Chuuya mutter once he was a few paces away, making you look up. He looked less than pleased. His arms were crossed over his chest “ Vampire? Seriously Y/N?”

“ A pretty vampire!” the little girl gripping your hand raised it higher so it was above her head as she did a little twirl. As she spun, your eyes flickered back Chuuya’s displeased expression.

“ Not now Chuuya” you muttered unsure if he could hear you, mouthing ‘ work’ as the little girl stopped spinning and started jumping up and down tugging on your hand.

“ And what am i? What am I? Miss pretty vampire.” She asked as if the twirl and the white tutu with a princess crown were not self-explanatory.

“ Hmm I am not sure? A little duckling?” You teased the little girl as she stomped her foot, urging you to guess again. You made an expression of thinking really hard, before guessing wrong again, this time calling her a dazzling fairy.

The little girl giggled, liking the answer more than duckling“ You’re so silly vampire lady, fairies have wings, try again!”

Before you could make your final guess Chuuya approached the both of you. “ A princess” he stated as he picked the girl up and moved her several paces away, dropping her by her fathers feet. The look Chuuya gave the man was one of ice- a threat to dare say anything before he turned and gripped your arm, dragging you out of the party hall.

“ What do you think you’re doing Chuuya?” You asked, struggling to keep up with his fast pace. In response he pulled you along towards the elevator with an automatic sensor which opened the moment he approached. Pulling you inside he picked the floor before slamming your back against the mirror-wall opposite, his hand finally leaving your wrist moving to your waist. The second one was slammed by your head in warning.

He was not in the mood to joke around.

“ You think it’s funny?” he growled his lips moving towards your throat. You could feel his hot breath inches away. You shuddered, pulling your shoulders up slightly in what little defiance you could master “ You’ve become so cocky- do you really think you can just make fun of me?”

“ Chuuya-its not- maybe we can talk about it?” you plead seconds before he sunk his teeth into your skin.

You threw your head back, eyes wide. Lips parted in half cry half moan. The pain and pleasure mixing into one- an addictive drug that clouded your judgment. The only sounds were your soft panting and Chuuya slurping and licking, salvaging the taste. He held onto you for only a moment longer before pulling his fangs out. “ Ahh Chuu don’t stop” you pleaded as he healed the two small wounds.

“ You think you can tell me what to do?” he growled as he stepped away from you and rested his back against the elevator doors opposite, taking a few calming breaths. Then he reached his hand up, wiping the rest of your blood from his lips onto the back of his glove before taking it off as if it were something dirty, ready to be discarded

“ Please” You pleaded, reaching your hands out towards him “ Please don’t be mad at me Chuu.” You pushed yourself away from the mirror and moved closer to him, your fingers brushing against his arm. When he didn’t move away, you pressed yourself closer, moving to kiss the corner of his mouth, then down to his jawline, then up before your lips came up to his ear “ Do you really want to waste time being angry at each other when I’ve been away for two weeks?”

No answer.

You sighed heavily and turned to face the counter on the elevator which finally stopped on the top floor. The doors opened with a gentle ‘ding’, revealing two bowing staff members which you both ignored. Chuuya was the first to get out, then you. You trailed a few steps behind him with a heavy heart. “ Why did you even bother dragging me away from the party if you’re just gonna be silent and angry?” you muttered, watching him open the door to your room and motion you inside. He didn’t turn on the lights as he headed straight to the bedroom and sat down on the bed. You shadowed him, stopping in the bedroom doorway.

“ Well then?” he stated when you made no move to come closer “ A vampire’s a hunter, dollface, do you really think you could pull that off?”

You blinked at him for a moment, processing what he meant before shaking your head in disbelief. This was the kind of thing you’d have expected from Dazai- but Chuuya? You knew you seriously fucked up. Slowly you moved towards him, your brain torn between different options; Trying to gather courage, attempting to bury your shame.

“ Well?” Chuuya questioned again as you stopped right in front of him looking down at him. The half smirk on his face, the slight lean back and the hand casually dropped by his crotch told you he expected submissiveness as an apology if you still couldn’t do it. But this time it just wouldn’t do.

“ You mean like this?” You asked saddling his lap before pushing him back into the bed. You gripped the front of his shirt, crashing your lips together in desire rather than the gentle sweetness you’d normally show. You could see his eyes widen for a second before he responded with equal force.

You moved your body against him, eager to kiss him deeper and from different angles, not forgetting to rub against his crotch every now and then. It wasn’t long until you leaned back, breaking the kiss long enough to throw off your shirt somewhere into the room. Chuuya did the same. He was the first to bring your lips back together, his hand tangled in your hair while his second rubbing your waist. It didn’t take long before his hands trailed towards the clasp of your bra.

You smacked them away once, twice, before breaking the kiss, moving to nip on his neck and shoulders. While Chuuya thrusted his hips up, grinding himself against your core. Fuck even with clothes on you could feel him, growing firmer and firmer with each thrust. It didn’t take long until Chuuya’s hand reached for your bra again, wanting it off.

“ eh eh eh, didn’t you want me to be in control today babe?” you asked as you pinned his hands on either side of his face, earning yourself a threatening growl and a flash of white fangs in warning.

You replied by quickly biting into his shoulder, earning you a yelp followed by a surprised ‘ Damn they’re sharp’. You moved lower down his neck and to his chest, leaving bites and kisses without drawing more blood. “ Behave or I'll have to punish you.” You threatened your hand letting go of his arm and moving towards his belt, your fake nails scratching the edge of his covered skin.

Teasing.

You were good at it even without a challenge to be naughty. You felt him thrust up higher towards you, up and forward, reminding you of your own horniness. The wetness between your legs eager to take him. Was this something you could play with? You moved back until you were saddling higher up his waist, giving him no more chances to grind himself against you. Another warning growl which died in his throat as you tossed your bra to the side. Hungry eyes watched as you ran your hands between your breasts before groping them, then moved one hand a bit away, scratching the soft skin with your nails. Down to the nipple which you lingered on before rolling the hardening bud between your fingers. You threw your head backwards, a moan on your lips.

“ Look what you’ve done, Chuuya” you moaned, giving your second nipple equal attention “ You’ve made me all wet.”

When you looked back at him you were met with a darkness in his eyes. You could see his hands twitching by his side, struggling to remain unmoving. “ You’re so hot doll” he praised his eyes flickering between your bare breasts and then down to where your skirt met his skin.

“ Where do you think you’re looking?” You asked, letting go of one breast you slowly trailed your hand downwards, past the waistline of your skirt before flipping it upwards. “ You don’t believe me?” you batted your eyelashes as you pushed back your panties, giving him a preview.

You spread your knees wider apart, showing more of your pussy before you moved your fingers between your folds, then down to your hole pushing one digit it. Then the second

“ God doll you’re killing me” Chuuya groaned, swallowing thickly. His hands now gripping the bed sheets tightly.

A few shallow thrusts before you pull your finger out. More wetness followed. You raised your hand back until it was between you two, showing off your arousal to him, for him. “ What are you gonna do about it Chuu?”

“ Damn it babe ” he cursed, throwing his head back before forcing himself to look back at you with inhumane hunger “ Come up here and sit on my face.”

“ Wait- you’re serious?” an uncertainty in your voice, your teasing confident nature wavering at his request. Did he really just ask you to-?

“ Don’t stop, just come up here and lend me your pussy, please”

You hesitated for a moment, but then did as he asked. Before you could even adjust on his shoulders his hands were on your thighs spreading them wider, pushing your core closer to his face, forcing more of your weight onto him. Then his hot tongue moved between your folds. You moaned, startled from the attention.

“ God babe I can come just from the taste of you” Chuuya mumbled his tongue tracing patterns before he moved back slightly. You glanced down at him worriedly only for him to flash you a cocky grin “ Come now don’t grow shy on me, you wanna keep giving me a show, right doll?”

You gave a breathy laugh surprised at how turned on this made you. Then you reach your hands up, moving them fondle and groping your breasts. “ Like this?” you asked before leaning forward letting one hand drop down to his hair, gripping tightly you tugged him away from your core. “ I asked a question, Chuu?”

“ hmmm” Chuuya groaned, thrusting upwards behind you. His hands digging into your thighs keeping you in place. His face, bright red, lips wet. He flickered his eyes once towards you before diving back down between your legs. His tongue moving faster, his hips making shallow thrusts up into nothingness.

You moaned, letting go of his hair, then cursing as you felt his tongue move inside you.

“ Fuck babe” Chuuya groaned as he moved back for a breath of air before lapping at your clit. Fuck!” you felt his hands shake on your thighs as he pushed his tongue back inside you, his movements erratic. He didn’t stop even as you tried to shift away, if anything he became more desperate for you. One of his hands moving to your hips and holding tightly, forcing you in one place. Taking everything he had to give you. The next time he pushed his tongue back into you, you felt it;

“ Ahhh Chuuya” you cried, throwing your head back, gushing around his tongue. He tasted more and more of you, moaning and groaning, as if he enjoyed it even more than you. He was careful not to let a drop escape. As he moved his tongue back inside you, you could feel yourself beginning to shake and leaned further away with a groan of protest. You weren’t ready for another- not yet. You looked down at him, a dark blush on your cheeks, back still arched, one hand on your breasts while the other laid limply by your side. “ Chuu” you coo’ed drawing his attention. He looked up instantly, his eyes less hungry than before. But lust was still in them, burning hot and angry.

“ Fuck Sweetheart we're doing this again.” Chuuya muttered his nails digging into your thighs leaving little crescent markings in the skin. You let out a low whine of displeasure, making him release his grip, his fingers now apologetically trailing the small markings “ I haven’t cum in my pants since 15.”

You let a tired smile grace your lips. “ So I win your little challenge?” you asked, leaning forward moving off of him. You didn’t get to move far before Chuuya pulled you to his chest, holding you close. He was quick to press kisses to your hair before tilting your head up and pressing a kiss to your lips. A mixture of your release and the taste of him momentarily making you forget about everything besides him.

This time it was Chuuya who broke the kiss first. “ Best vampire in the city.” He praised, showering you in kisses, his arms holding you locked to his chest. Possessive and protective, maybe apologetic as well?

“ Are you still mad Chuu?” You asked as you rested your head on his chest basking in his love. “ I’m sorry about the bite” you mumbled seeing the two tiny holes- much smaller than Chuuya would leave on you- leaking a little. He reached up and brushed the blood away, seeming to have just now noticed them. He didn’t seem bothered in the slightest.

“ I’m not and don’t be, you’ve earned your apology well” he tilted your face up, flashing you a boyish smirk, only the reddening of his ears and the dark look in his eyes an indication of the kinky thoughts running through his mind. Or maybe just craving a more familiar round two?

You stole a kiss before you moved out of bed, heading towards the bathroom. As much as you loved after sex cuddles or more sex with Chuuya you wanted to get cleaned up, dressed and then return to the party. Even if it was just for a few hours the familiar buzz of subordinates and colleagues was something you longed for. Besides you had barely seen any of your usual families and you were certain you were gonna need to call in a few of those promised favours real soon.

“ Where did you manage to get such a realistic costume? ” Chuuya called suddenly from the bed, watching your every move with newfound hunger.

You paused in the doorway of the bathroom; looking back over your shoulder, you caught him staring at you with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. For every second that you remained silent however, his expression seemed to take on a look of concern. Cockily you parted your lips, showing off the long pearly whites before you ran your tongue over them taking extra care when trailing the sharp pointy edge.

“ Whatever makes you sleep better at night Chuu” you winked before closing and locking the door behind yourself. Then, you rested your back against it.

As if somehow the thick wood would block out the sound of his horrified scream.

Dazai's love languages

Word count: 0,8k

Cw: mention of loved ones being lost, some angst

1. Quality time

Dazai knows that time is short. At any moment, the people in his life can be taken from him. Because of this, he truly takes the time to cherish the moments he shares with those he cares for. Going for a walk, visiting a bar or cafe, or just simply relaxing at home together. If it's time spent with a loved one, it's time well spent.

He'd practically be attached at the hip to a romantic partner. No matter what they're doing, where they're going, there's barely anything that would prevent Dazai from attempting to tag along. He has to be with them, of course. Because if he wasn't, he might miss their smile, their laugh, or some endearing little thing they'd do. They might need his protection too! Of course, Dazai has to come along. It's only logical.

2. Physical touch

He'd be all over a romantic partner — clinging to them at all times. Hugging them, tapping his lap to make them sit, sprawling across their lap on the couch, demanding kisses, holding their hand and swinging it back and forth as they walk. PDA galore.

If his s/o doesn't allow him the physical affection he craves, he'll sulk. "Come onnn. Just a little kiss, I promise!" He'd still try to respect it if his partner was truly uncomfortable with it. Buutt,, he'd be a little bit of a nuisance regardless. Announcing when he wants touch and being like "Oh, who will satisfy my thirst for physical affection? If you don't embrace me soon I might just get so desperate I'll hug Kunikida!"

Though, these actions don't necessarily hold the most weight. The moments that are more genuinely meant to convey his love to someone are typically less energetic. Sitting alone outside, sharing a comforting silence before he suddenly pulls them into him to lean on his shoulder. Or quietly reaching out to hold his s/o as they lay beside each other in the night. Them doing the same sort of things to him will also make him feel loved.

3. Acts of service

He isn't one to do this much himself. Though if he happens to hear his s/o mention they need something, and he finds himself at the store later that day, he could definitely pick it up for them.

If someone does an act of service for him however, it actually means quite a lot; more than he thought it would. Someone doing something for him, something he didn't even ask them to do — it feels as if they're acknowledging his humanity. That he too is a person that might need help every now and then. It's not something he expects from another person, so when it happens it can catch him off guard, bringing a warmth to his chest.

4. Words of affirmation

He's very good at giving compliments and smoothly making someone feel special. These compliments, however, rarely feel genuine on his part. He either does it to get something out of the person or to entertain himself or others. Of course, it can be to get a smile out of his loved one, but he doesn't really think much about the words spilling out of his lips in those moments. "You are the light of my life! My one and only! Beauty that compares to the gods!"

The jokey, energetic flare can also be dropped in favor of something that sounds more serious. "You can do it. I've seen you do it many times before, and you can do it again. You won't fail." But he will still feel detached from it, as if he's reading from a script. He wants to be real, to share true words of love, but it all feels so fake to him no matter what he says. It's much easier for him to pull his partner close, to hold them, and hope they understand.

Him receiving affirmation is also conflicting, unfortunately. Dazai isn’t used to it, and a lot of it really doesn’t reach him on an emotional level. It just feels like empty words being thrown at the walls he’s built up around him.

However, when those words do reach him, he feels it very strongly. It’s soft, fluttery, and makes him feel an unfamiliar warmth… and that almost scares him. He’s not sure how to handle it. The phoniness of his words becomes so blaringly obvious and ugly in comparison to theirs. He’s not sure he could give them anything real in return, not sure he deserves it.

5. Gift giving

Whilst he would appreciate getting gifts, it wouldn't instinctually register in his mind as something being done out of love for him. He received a gift, cool! Now he has a thing someone gave him! ...What should he do with it?

He also isn't a big gift giver himself. Sure, he might give a little something for a birthday or something, but he's not one to constaltly shower people in gifts. It's just not a love language that comes naturally to him at all.

How some of my favorite characters celebrate your birthday in honor of my birthday today!

Furina

So Excited, she loves decorating for it and trying to find a really good gift for you. Luckily for her being the past Archon has its perks and she can basically go anywhere and get anything, though it might be hard avoiding you the whole day so she will say she's sick and then throw a huge party for you and by huge I mean just the two of you! Even so she always somehow knows what you like and what one of the best gifts to get you is.

Dazai Osamu

Loves when it’s your birthday, and loves the birthday pranks he can pull at you when you're at the agency. But no worries he will always have a surprise towards the end of the day, you always end up having 2 kinda parties, one at the agency, and one when you get home with Dazai. He’s a smart man and he can basically read your mind sometimes and always knows the perfect gift to get you, even if you never mention it to him.

Tachihara Michizou

He’s normally pretty busy on your birthday but as soon as he gets home he would love to just have some one on one time so that he can really celebrate you, probably has things that he got for you over the year tucked away in his closet, and always ends up having a bunch of stuff that he thinks you’ll like! At least tries to remember what you like to do/what you like to eat for desserts and stuff on your birthday so it will be more of a surprise for you when you see it sitting on the table.

Blade

Says he hates birthdays and any sort of celebration when it comes to anybody else but will celebrate it behind closed doors. All those times that Kafka and Silverwolf go shopping in different places, he is too, but he’s just getting small things that will end up being for some sort of holiday, but by the time it is christmas or your birthday he always has quite a few little things so he tries to separate them evenly between the holidays, especially if your birthday is close to the holidays! If Kafka and Silverwolf ever find out he’ll never hear the end of it. (And he always says he never has a favorite, we all know that’s a lie)

Firefly (Penacony Spoilers!!)

THIS GIRL!<33333 I love her so much if you can’t tell. Anyway, She doesn't come from a lot and doesn’t have a lot, so instead she celebrates your birthday by taking you around Penacony and taking you to her special spot where you guys just talk for hours. She prefers more quality time when it comes to showing her love anyway, so it’s a win win. Though she will have a small dessert and some small gifts for your birthday, She gets things that mean a lot to you or you have mentioned, though most of your gifts are also symbols of dates, or when you met.

Lilia (In honor of him saying happy birthday to me this year)

Lilia has celebrated a lot of birthdays in his life, but yours is always a little different. Of course he has to start the day by scaring you in some way, he wouldn’t be Lilia if he didn’t! Diasomnia by this point has already all said Happy Birthday by this point. Another person who has collected things throughout the year and likes to give them to you, some you might not know what they are and when you do figure it out it may or may not be like 200 years older than you, it is fun to see what you end up getting for your birthday though!

Ruggie

It’s more or less really just a gift from Leona with him, but this is also the only time he will share his food with you! He also has experience in the kitchen so he is able to basically make anything that you would want to eat for your birthday, so don’t be surprised if when you get back to your dorm there's a little cake or something sitting on your table and him sitting next to it, covered in flour. His gifts though, again will be smaller things that he probably collected, only a couple things will actually be money bought and it’s leona’s money, but it’s the thought that counts with him.

Luke Pearce

Another one who loves your birthday, and also, Like Firefly, likes more quality time when celebrating. So instead, he loves traveling and will let you pick the place you go and you’ll have a whole trip planned for your birthday or a couple days later! When it comes to actual gifts he will find things on the trip that he thinks that you’ll really like from past conversations. You once mentioned that you liked snowglobes like 7 months ago? Somehow he remembers that and now you have a cute little snowglobe from wherever you traveled too!

♫ - Please if you are going to repost any of my works anywhere else, ask permission first! There will be almost a 100% chance that I will say yes as long as you just ask and give credit! Thank you for your understanding!

top 11 hardest bad abilities to discover (not listed in order)

(might contain some spoilers)

Dazai (No Longer Human). To begin with, my man had to find someone with a ability. (Probably like, 1/1,000,000 people) And then touch them, if Dazai was a normal guy, and not the demon prodigy, he 100% wouldn't have known he had this ability

Yosano (Thou Shalt Not Die). How'd she even discover this? There's very few scenarios where someone would be half dead, and I doubt that any normal person would be able to discover that they had a ability like this. There's still a chance, but it's very small.

Fitzgerald (The Great Fitzgerald). Imagine, you're a middle class man, normal life, normal income, nothing crazy about your life. How the hell do you find out you become stronger when you spend money. We've seen Fitzgerald not activate his ability when he causally spends, how the hell did you activate it then???

Muishitaro (The Perfect Crime). I- How does a normal person, commit enough crimes to find out that, no they're not getting away with these crimes because they're lucky, they're actually using a ability that erases their crime.

Ace (Madness of the Jewel Kings). Could just be a me thing but, I don't think I've ever met someone with debt slaves. Much less anyone who can convert their debt slaves lifespan into jewels. You either gotta be insane, or have plot armor to find out about this ability

Mark Twain (Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer). You have to be fucking enlisted to find out you have this ability, because there's no way a normal person's gonna have a sniper with them (unless you're in the United States.... Wait-)

Fukuzawa (All Men are Created Equal). This is the same logic as Dazai, there's probably not that many ability users, as you'd have to collect enough ability users to realize "oh, my subordinates get full control over their abilities", also what qualifies as the agencies entrance exam? Is it even necessary?

Pushkin (A Feast in Time of Plague). How the hell do you manage to "coincidentally" find out that you have an ability that affects 2 people with a virus, and that if one of those 2 people don't die, both the people will die from having their organs eaten. You have to be insane or a serial killer to find that ability.

Yukito (Another). I'm genuinely curious on how many mysteries this guy had to solve to be able to find out that the killer in the mysteries always, 100%, without fail, dies after the mysterys been solved. That is extremely and annoyingly specific.

Kajii (Lemon). The whole ass reason I made this post, who the fuck is "conveniently" creating lemon shaped bombs, there's no way he found out this ability through normal means. Was one of his friends a terrorist with a lemon kink? Because that's the only reasonable explanation that he's finding out this ability. Either that or, he's got a big food kink and makes bombs shaped as food during his spare time. There's no fucking way, a normal guy with an office job is finding out they have an ability like that. Atsushi's the main character? Nah, this man has way more plot armor. Because the stars, universe, solar system, and plantes had to align for him to find out about his ability

Ranpo (✨Ultra Deduction✨) please help im being threatened . I mean, he could always be a genius or whatever but... Sure.

Dazai's queerness exists only in the source material and not in the anime. In the anime it is clear that there are attempts to up the heavy more in your face fanservice moments, regardless of the partner, be it Chuuya or Sigma or whomever the studio decides to pair him with for the season. However, the anime actively excludes scenes that actually suggest or imply any attraction he may have had to the men in his life. From the complete erasure of Dazai's fascination with and behaviour towards Chuuya the anime takes away any actual moment that might suggest anything. The sterilization of their bond is so egregious that even their canon dynamic is non existent in the anime. The complete masacre of the entrance exam arc ruins his entire dynamic with Kunikida. A lot of his remarks and descriptions that suggest any queerness in him are entirely extracted from the story and tossed aside. Not only does this make him come across as inhuman and completely changes his personality and motivation, it also takes away a huge part of what makes him tick. Dazai in the manga and the light novels and mayoi is actively seeking something to keep living for and finds it in silly little things, he keeps forcing himself forward one day at a time and is self sacrificing and feels far too much. He understands the human mind and adores it and respects it while denying hinself the same affection, only gently nudging the people into directions of their own choosing instead of outright manipulating them unless absolutely necesarry. This is what makes him different from Fyodor and Fyodor doesnt understand that. The anime on the other hand makes Dazai this charming, manipulative, fake, unfeeling guy who actively uses people like puppets making him strikingly similar to Fyodor. The only reason you know he isnt like Fyodor is because the man says so himself. The text of the show itself is showing you the exact opposite because it has slowly stripped away all of Dazai's humanity to push him as the prettyboy asshole fanservice Chad who flirts with men causr it will bring in views while showing not an ounce of the affection and care he felt towards 2 of the 3 prominant male figures still living in his life. The random bits tossed in of Atsushi believing Dazai is inherently good come across as naive instead of perceptive because we dont see Dazai being human to those around him, Dazai's claim about his motivation setting him apart from Fyodor feels like bland exposition dumps to push the plot forward and to hammer home that Dazai is the good guy because there is nothing to actually help you differentiate him from Fyodor in the anime.

In the manga you can tell something about Dazai is very off during meursault, from his obvious distress when he confirmed Chuuya was the intruder, him being overly giddy and faking his entire persona for all of the 10 minutes he has known Sigma with only maybe 1 complete minute of his genuine desire to protect someone slipping past his facade. Even Dazai's extremely consistent tendency to avoid touching people skin on skin and prefering to pinch their hair or clothes unless absolutely necesarry got tossed out the window for the dance scene, when Dazai hasn't once touched Sigma's skin directly in the manga.

And the knowlegde of his dynamic with Chuuya and Dazai's behaviour towards him in the light novels, manga and mayoi tell you something is off about the drowning and that Fyodor is wrong about their bond. The anime strips away all his connections to Chuuya and makes it feel less off because the bond doesnt actually exist there outside of the dialogues to smack you over the head with.

Anime Dazai is a man that everyone wants you to believe is a good guy but he really isnt. He is an asshole only doing good things cause he made a promise to a dead friend.

Manga Dazai IS a good man who has been trying to make up for his past and refuses to believe himself capable of redemption. To him Oda's words are a guidepost, not a decree that he is forced to follow. You SEE his humanity and goodness in his actions and you see he always had the potential to care and feel even at his darkest and lowest.

Going back to the comment about his queerness, just like how the anime is forcing you to see Dazai as a good guy by telling you that he is a good guy, the anime has stripped off all his affection and remarks that suggest he is queer and now any scene that is actually important between skk is reduced to needless fanservice because they dont have that bond from the light novels that explain why Dazai is so tender with Chuuya post corruption. And by extension by the removal of all of Dazai's most genuine moments with the men in his life he is reduced to a typical fanservice character.

#long post #meta #my personal take on Dazai is that he needed those small moments because they made him human #and now he's...just some generic manipulative bastard trope that could blend in with all the others #sadly I'd say other manipulative bastard trope characters have more depth and humanity to them than anime dazai

On Dazai's possible diagnoses

As a psych postgrad with an interest in psychopathology who's been rotating him in my brain for over a year, I thought I should put my two cents out there. This is probably gonna be long, so buckle up.

So, let's start with what he doesn't have: Borderline Personality Disorder

If it's a headcanon then by all means go ahead, but I really don't see Dazai having the disorder based on canon info. Because this is a take I see often, I will go through all the symptoms one by one and explain why I disagree.

A BPD diagnosis requires 5 of the following:

1. Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment

I don't wanna get too much into attachment patterns, but Borderline fear of abandonment is largely preoccupied in nature, while Dazai is extremely avoidant. There is a difference between efforts to avoid abandonment and resignation to loneliness. Dazai experiences the second - he does say that everything he holds dear will be lost, but that's something he has accepted. He does nothing to change it. He is resigned. No such effort is being made on his part.

2. A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships, characterised by alternating between extremes of idealisation and devaluation

I can see why someone would think such instability would be true for Dazai, but that's only on a surface level. If we think about it, his relationships with the people who actually matter to him have been surprisingly stable. My main examples are Oda, Chuuya, Atsushi, and Kunikida. While of course all of them grow and change, the dynamics that were set up when he met each of them have not changed much. Each dynamic is very different, but none of them has has any intense, abrupt shifts. Sure, his relationships can be intense, but that's mostly because of either a) the intensity of the people involved and the circumstances around them (Do you expect two very different and very traumatised teenagers to not fight?) or b) Dazai's persona. You can't take, for example, his fights with Kunikida as an example of instability, because, firstly, it's only ever been like that, and, more importantly, Dazai is fully capable of acting differently, which wouldn't be the case if this were a symptom.

About the second part, Dazai is not once seen alternating between idealisation and devaluation of the same person. What he thinks of those around him seems to be based on characteristics they actually have, interpreted of course by a person like Dazai, who is, like everyone, biased due to his own history and trauma. He's a person and he has opinions on people. Never has he completely idealised or devalued someone, let alone both for the same person, beyond that. The only time we, in the present timeline, see him let his emotions affect how he treats someone is when he first meets Ango again, and what we see is an appropriate reaction from someone who has been hurt. Hell, if anything, he should learn to do that more.

3) Unstable self-image

We literally have no idea. There is minimal information on how Dazai thinks of himself. The only times that I can think of where he actually gave a glimpse into it was when he called himself "a man hated by righteousness" and, less directly, when he told Atsushi that pitying himself would make his life a nightmare, which could have contained some projection. His alienation and struggles with humanity seem to be unchanging, even when he's receiving proof of the opposite, such as experiencing a connection to someone, to the point where he seems to be apprehensive even of change that could come naturally, such as growing close to the other ADA members.

4) Impulsivity in at least two potentially harmful ways (spending, sexual activity, substance use, binge eating, etc.)

He does have this. We don't know his other habits, but he's extremely careless when it comes to his own safety, and it's clear that he abuses alcohol.

5) Recurrent suicidal threats or attempts or self-mutilation.

He also has this one, although differential diagnosis for BPD would require certainty that it exists beyond the limits of the Major Depressive Disorder that he does have.

6) Unstable mood/affect

That is clearly his persona. In fact, the unmasked Dazai seems flatter in affect than the average person, even though we very rarely see him. I could use Oda's descriptions of him as an example, since he's the one who perceived him the most. He's described Dazai's face as lifeless-looking, unmoving, his eyes like wounds. His "natural" state is empty, hollow. It's quite the opposite of someone who's dysregulated and overflowing with emotion, and it's quite clear that many of the reactions that he does display are dramatised and exaggerated on purpose, and often don't correspond to his true emotion at the time at all, if such a thing is present in the first place. You can't count an act as a symptom. His emotions are controlled to the extreme, even in situations where being emotional would be expected.

7) Chronic feelings of emptiness

He has this. Again, we don't know if we can differentiate it from the depressive emptiness, but it's there.

8) Difficulty controlling anger

We've barely seen him angry, let alone uncontrollably so. He's exploded in anger exactly once, in side B of The Day I Picked Up Dazai, when he rampantly attacked someone because Oda was in danger - as a teenager who was seeing the one person he cared about get hurt. Again, he controls his emotions very well almost at all times.

9) Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or dissociative symptoms.

We have no info on paranoid symptoms on his part. Dissociative symptoms are likely there in his struggle with humanity, but they seem to be present consistently throughout his life and not specifically stress-related.

To sum up: he has 3 out of 9 symptoms, two of which can also be explained by depression. In fact, he is in many ways the opposite of a borderline individual - too controlled, too avoidant, too disengaged from emotion. The only relationship patterns of his that might look BPD-adjacent are almost always part of his persona.

For something more plausible, which I also ultimately don't think he has, or at least we don't have enough info: Antisocial Personality Disorder

I'm not gonna go through all the symptoms again, but mafia Dazai demonstrated many of them. However, there are two reasons I don't think he could be given that diagnosis either.

1) We see him behaving in ways that might meet the symptoms only between the ages of 15 and 18. ASPD can't be diagnosed before the age of 18. Dazai as an adult doesn't show nearly as many of those symptoms, and it's not possible to diagnose an adult based on how he behaved as a teenager. That's neither accurate nor fair. The same is true for symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder, some of which teenage Dazai also had.

2) An ASPD diagnosis currently requires a diagnosis of conduct disorder before the age of 15. There is no info on Dazai as a child, and we have no idea how he behaved.

(bonus 3): Some symptoms, such as illegal behaviour, are hard to be applied to Dazai's case, because of the extreme circumstances he was in. He was in the mafia, being encouraged to kill people. Of course he broke the law.)

Now, for the things he actually has or might have:

Major Depressive Disorder, of course. This is already long, and I don't think I even need to elaborate. He has almost all the symptoms of chronic depression.

Possibly, Depersonalisation/Derealisation Disorder

Depersonalization/derealization disorder involves a persistent or recurring feeling of being detached from one's body or mental processes, like an outside observer of one's life (depersonalization), and/or a feeling of being detached from one's surroundings (derealization). (x)

It seems to me that his feelings of being inhuman would be quite likely to classify as depersonalisation. Again, we have no idea how Dazai experiences this from a first-person perspective. Everything he actually says is indirect, like calling this world a dream (even though that was at least partly acting), and often in connection to the real-life author and his words. However, it's clear that something is there that doesn't allow him to see himself as a person, and it has affected him significantly.

It's not certain, of course, that he would have this diagnosis. I just thought I should mention it as a possibility, because I haven't see anyone mention it in relation to him.

Even more possibly, Complex PTSD

I won't go through each symptom here either, but one of the core characteristics of C-PTSD is a deep feeling of alienation or shame, of something being fundamentally wrong with you in such a way that puts you apart from other people. Sufferers often feel like they're completely disconnected from others, permanently damaged or worthless, and experience a chronic sense of hopelessness. It is more likely to be caused by long-term traumatic circumstances rather than a singular traumatic event or situation.

Dazai was, for all we know, already very unwell by the age of 14, and was then taken in by Mori, who took his pre-existing feelings of alienation and weaponised them, in order to make him into the "demon prodigy". It's safe to assume that such feelings already existed, and were only maximised during his mafia years, where he was expected and even encouraged to tap into the things that made him different from others.

At the same time, he had no guidance on how to navigate his human emotions and needs and turmoil at any point, which must have only led to a further disconnect from them, therefore cutting his routes for connecting with others further and further.

You may also be more likely to develop C-PTSD if:

you experienced trauma at a young age you were harmed by someone close to you who you trusted you were unable to escape the trauma (x)

While we don't know what happened in his pre-mafia past, all of this apply to his time in the mafia.

I will once again put the disclaimer that none of us knows how Dazai really experiences these things from his POV. He's an extremely opaque character, and most analysis of him is bound to contain a degree of assumption and guesses. However, there are some things that are more plausible than others based on his actions and reactions, and I think these three options, either separately or in combination, make the most sense to me. I would gladly elaborate further and discuss any part of this, including, of course, disagreements, as long as they're informed.

just a rushed oneshot about osamu dazai, once again. This one is about how he was never happy; nothing could fill more his heart, for he will live forever in the solitude. But he has you, he does, but for him, it doesn't feel enough. Dazai x fem.reader. This has two parts.

tw: suicide, self-harm mentions, depression, not mentally stable, sensitive topics, blood mentions, ect...

song recommendation: the lobotomy by maebi and old doll, mad father.

parts: 1/2

note: In fact, I already had the oneshot for this post done... but, when I wanted to schedule its publication, an error occurred and everything I did was deleted, leaving only what you are going to read below. I literally cried :( I hate my fucking luck. I'm tired now so I won't be able to upload the second part, I'll upload it one day when I feel motivated.

A night with a single moon, a strangely bright starry night. There have never been as many stars as there are today, or at least not as visible as the ones he glimpsed. His heart gave small muffled beats, an audible sigh as he stared at his already fired gun. On the ground lay the body of a weakness that did nothing, was only pierced by a bullet in that dark street full of dangers where he, Osami Dazai called himself the boss of the dangers of those streets, a mere attempt to disconnect from his intrusive thoughts.

He knew better than anyone what was going through his mind; Thought after thought, tiredness once it was over and tired of life, a strangulating stone blocking his throat, a pain and suffering that this world housed him. How was he going to die? He tried and failed, he didn't succeed. In a weak attempt he rubs his forehead, trying to get rid of the headache... Thoughts or headache? Headache or thoughts? Not even he knew it. He was overwhelmed by the burden of living.

In the darkness he continued to find himself, a pool of blood was created in front, obscured by the poor lighting. He couldn't care less about the life of a citizen. He tried to hide it, drown out his thoughts by killing. He thought that if he killed he would be happier, that at least it would be a distraction to get rid of everything. It wasn't like that.

Darkness took over this night, giving it an eerie appearance. Osamu used to love nights like this, when he most enjoyed scaring and then shooting his victims without any remorse, without mercy. He was a cruel murderer.

On the other side you were, considerably far from the young man. You were at your house, a house shared by you and Dazai. It was spacious and quite cozy: it had simple windows that were covered at night by lowering the blinds, for the sole reason that people could clearly see what was going on inside. It was itself a two-story, two-bathroom, three-bedroom house with its own amenities, space, and beds. One of the rooms was yours, the other was Osamu's, and the third was guests'. On that same floor (upstairs) was one of the bathrooms, with all kinds of luxuries, but minimalist in its own way. On the ground floor was the living room with its respective large and long sofa accompanied by a rug, television, shelves for books on one side, some furniture to store things and that's it. Then you had the kitchen and dining room where you were currently, preparing today's dinner, eagerly waiting for your partner to show him another wonderful dish that you decided to prepare.

You finished cooking and preparing a copious table, and you waited, waited and watched the clock tick, with its sound memorized in your brain that repeated like a broken record: tick tock, tick tock...

He always came around the time you finished cooking and getting everything ready for a cozy night in for Dazai after hard work in the mafia. You were worried that something had happened to him, that maybe Mori had detained him a little longer until he finished his missions or that he had simply forgotten that you made him dinner every time he wasn't home, it frustrated you at an end that he had forgotten, but then it quickly melted into worry, you didn't know what to believe and you were confused.

"Why does he takes so long to arrive? It's been over half an hour now and I have no calls, texts or messages from him." The question stood out and resonated in your head: why? Why did it take so long? You sighed and let time move forward. "Guess I'm just going to call him."

Moving your hand to your pants pocket, you grab your phone, tap its screen, and deftly enter your phone's password. Biting your lip repeatedly, you nervously reach his profile and press the call button.

The phone vibrates as you wait for Dazai to answer on the other line, a characteristic sound as you wait impatiently: vzzzzzt. You wait a few minutes and the wait ends with a message: ‘Osamu has not responded.’ Your condition worsens and you press the ‘call again’ button. This time you will finally be able to witness how the young mafioso accepts the call. "Hello Dazai, are you okay? How are you?"

A short two-second pause, overwhelmingly giving off a bad vibe. "I'm fine, what do you need?"

"I just wanted to know where you are. I made dinner and you were nowhere to be found, and look, that's the time you always show up. Something happened?"

"You see... Maybe I dallied on the way home, but you don't have to be so desperate, I'm already on my way, it won't be far away," He explains to you on the other end of the phone, with a carefree voice, still maintaining his soft but icy tone. In the background you can hear his footsteps stepping on the asphalt.

"Well, I guess I'll wait until you get there... Take care, I love you," You hang up the call with a sigh.

Back to Dazai, the youthful mafioso, crude and indifferent. He was walking through some very dimly lit streets. The crickets sing while there is a silence so unusual that it seems pleasant to the ear. There was no wind or noisy people talking on those same streets, there was just him. He was alone.

On the way home, he repeatedly thinks about jumping off an icy water bridge he was passing over. He didn't know what else to do, he wanted to die but without pain, he wanted to die but without losing close ones and friends, he wanted to die but find a reason to live. There were only knots in his mind, he was tired. He thought about committing suicide once and for all with his gun, drinking poison on purpose... So many ways to die and so few possibilities of achieving it.

*sigh*

Doing anything

pamper kunikida week 2024 | 2: rainy day + quality time - ft. kunikidazai

Dazai letting himself fall over the couch and taking most of its space while at it wasn’t something new for him, not at all. What Kunikida still was in the process of getting used to, was said couch being his own and Dazai huddling against him while doing it all.

“This is very nice, isn’t it?”

“Yeah.” Cuddling was surely nice, and that time Dazai had also brought a blanket as well, wrapping them both with it as he made himself comfortable.

And so, just a couple of minutes later, Dazai’s arms were wrapped around his torso, and Kunikida received a cheek kiss before his partner’s face ended up buried in the crook of his neck. Again, he might not be fully used to it yet, but Kunikida definitely looked forward to it happening; besides, there was no doubt it would be sooner rather than later.

“What do you say about getting yesterday’s leftovers for lunch? Save us the trouble of cooking and whatnot.” Kunikida couldn’t help but smile at the suggestion, how his words sounded a bit muffled, and the soft tickling over his skin caused by Dazai’s hair and lips.

Usually, he preferred having something else in order to have some meals separating the repeating of the same food. But right then, lulled by the sound of rain outside and the warmth surrounding them both, he didn’t need much convincing.

“I say: okay.”

“Wow, who are you and what have you done with my Kunikida-kun?” Obviously, he knew very well how Dazai was merely joking, so his first answer was a sound that consisted of half a scoff and half a laugh.

“I mean, I could get up now and start preparing stuff, leaving you all alone without cuddles for a while and–” Kunikida’s apparent ‘stern’ tone morphed into evident satisfaction when his boyfriend latched onto him with even more intensity, clearly and wordlessly making his point across. “I figured.”

“If you think I’m gonna let you lift a finger on your day off…” Dazai then lifted his head, staring at him with clear intent. There might be no need to say more, but he had chosen to use all ammunition available.

“You know I could get you off me more or less easily, right.” And, just as expected, he saw a smug smile appearing on Dazai’s face at the same time he let those words out. Right after a brief pout, though.

“Damn, you’re kinda making me wish we weren’t on the same page right now, y’know. ‘Cause I’d love it if you tried.”

(Also on ao3.)

Do you have any bsd headcannons you'd like to share? (literally anything, I just love learning about other peoples hcs)

OMG YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES SORRY FOR RESPONDING SO LATE IVE BEEN USING THIS IN MY DRAFTS AS A COLLECTION OF JUST ABOUT ANYTHING THAT GOES THRU MY MIND AND I'VE JUST DECIDED I'M GONNA POST IT ALR

chuuya's hat is so old (bc it keeps getting passed from person to person and he brings it with him everywhere obviously) and WORN OUT but he has no idea how to fix it. he treats it like his child but it's inevitable that the material will deteriorate over time, so he's been trying to convince himself to go to a hatter for ages and can't swallow his pride. he drunkenly told it to hirotsu once night while they were drinking, and hirotsu just sighed and got it fixed for him that night while chuuya was passed out. they never spoke about it.

dazai has met several women who actually did say yes to a double suicide. the majority didn't mean it and just wanted to toy with him, but ran when they realized he was serious. a few actually did mean it. he pulled strings and invited them to a romantic date, except that he sent therapists there instead of him, basically playing matchmaker. all those women are now doing better but ask him about it and he'll act dumb and say he knows nothing about it.

fyodor needs glasses. his eyesight definitely sucks and the hours he spends at a computer don't help. however, he manipulates himself into thinking that he's actually fine when he's not. nikolai also has shitty eyesight bc of his dull eye and the other one he's probably abused looking at the birds in the sky and thus the sun. they are literally the blind leading the blind. nikolai places his portal 2 meters from where he meant to put it and fyodor says "good job". it's incredible how they're feared terrorists.

sigma gets tired wearing heels all day. he wants memory foam but doesn't know it exists. give him his goddamn memory foam. anyways one of his employees saw him holding his feet in pain and offered him orthopedic shoe inserts. he hasn't been the same since. would give them a raise if he knew how.

tachihara used to get acne from having his bandage on his nose all day. so, he's developed an incredibly rigid skin care routine. his face is soft as hell. cheeks are smoother than you'd think.

kouyou made it her first demand as executive to raid her favourite shop where she gets all her kiminos and accessories. hirotsu led the black lizard battalion into the shop and the workers were so fucking confused. stole expensive silk fabrics and clothing of the highest quality because she doesn't settle for less, and in the process has gotten hirotsu more into fashion. they go shopping together.

speaking of shopping, kajii only goes thrifting. have you seen his clothes?? they're not his size and torn as hell but they're so damn cheap he can't resist. his sandals are so goddamn iconic. yeah he's blowing you up but his dogs are OUT like a mf psychopath. i maybe love him a little too much.

ivan has greasy hair. while doing his surgery thing wtv tf that was, fyodor was continually grossed out (ironic aint it). pushkin was then ordered to help ivan wash his hair and they died just a little bit. neither knew what the difference between shampoo and conditioner is, and they struggled with it for a long time. eventually when they came back for fyodor to do the surgery, ivan's hair smelled like flowers and was braided cutely because they gave up and went to a salon where the people working there fell a little in love with his hair and went overboard. pushkin's hair (if you can call it that...) was also in a little bowtie. they enjoyed their little adventure just a little bit. just a little ofc.

odasaku has no idea how to cook curry. he loves it and fears doing it wrong, so he just buys it from the same place over and over. considered asking for the recipe but never did because why change what is already perfection. dazai however is convinced oda has housewife abilities and can cook like a god. he never knew the truth.

fitzgerald can't do math. he pretends he's good at converting currencies but in his head it just doesn't add up. 20 000 yen? that's like.... 5 freedom eagles obviously. no biggie *throws a bunch of american dollars at the workers and just takes the item and leaves* he also doesn't give tips when it prompts on the machine, and instead prefers sliding a crisp bill to them directly. cried a little when his favourite shop told him they ran out of an item he wanted and they didn't budge after he slid them a stack of 100s (he has no idea how many were in the stack)

fitzgerald also owns an airline but he doesn't manage it personally ofc. his only interaction with it is that they provide him and the guild with a private jet to travel to japan. lovecraft did not get on. he swam??? who knows, but he did not get on that plane. lucy got sick and louisa freaked out every time there was turbulence. mark was snoring loudly the entire way and steinbeck had his nose pressed on the window looking outside the entire time the lil cutie.

agatha has the super power of drinking tea while it is still piping hot. she never burns her tongue and never complained about its temperature, except when it's too cold. the water was literally boiling once (her subordinates wanted to find out how hot she can go) and she gulped it all down without a single contortion of her face. incredible.

shirase doesn't understand english and keeps trying to learn it but every time he thinks he's getting the hang of it, someone throws cockney slang at him and he gives up.

adam finally figured out how to blow a bubble of gum, but keeps swallowing it. one day, it clogged his internal system (he's not supposed to be eating obvi) and he's been afraid of it ever since. thinks it's possessed by evil spirits his android brain can't understand. i also hc that he recharges thru solar panels integrated onto his skin and for this reason he goes to the beach to 'tan' often. HE'S SO PALE people get a little concerned for him when they see him not apply sunscreen and just lay down for hours at a time. one lady actually told him he could get skin cancer and he opened his eyes "ackshually 🤓👆" then began reciting every fact known to man about skin cancer. rip that lady

verlaine and rimbaud complain about france all the time. "fuck france i fucking hate the french this country goddamn sucks" then as soon as someone else says anything bad about it they give them death glares and threaten death for disrespecting their country.

wells has memorized a whole lot of things about quantum theory from her days studying to be an engineer because it was her favourite class. she cannot handle mechanical or civil engineering topics and physically ascends at the mention of anything to do with dynamics. i also think she's been hit on a lot while wearing disguises; she tells them she's actually a woman, they freak out, then she sends them back in time. this time, they do not approach her and thus she doesn't have to deal with the awkward rejection and doesn't even remember it.

jules verne has made little dolls and pretended that they were his friends and invented scenarios in which they hung out. i will not elaborate on this.

albatross sometimes interrupts conversations in order to listen to the engine of a vehicle passing by. tries to track them down, too. he'll be the type of guy to ogle at your car without making eye contact with you while you're still in the car. and when i say ogle, i mean ogle. checks out motorcycles more often than women.

the flags bully lippmann sometimes when he acts in a really cheesy scene. he's coming to hang out with them and they're all giggling and chuckling at him stupidly. albatross walks up to him, tucks his hair behind his ear and whispers whatever cheesy thing was said in a low voice before bursting out laughing (he usually starts laughing before he can even finish the sentence). pianoman slides it slickly into conversations, and doc 'fufu's at random moments when looking at him and he suddenly remembers the scene. iceman has not watched the movie and chuuya couldn't care less.

the first time he tried to take the train, ranpo loudly exclaimed and yelled at every turn and stop of the train. he went during rush hour too and got his entire body smooshed into the strangers next to him. he squealed when someone accidentally (accidentally) grabbed his ass in the crowded traincar, then asked loudly who did that. dramatic as hell. got his pockets picked and knew who did it, but couldn't do anything about it. he felt awful and slumped his way back home and collapsed into yosano's arms with a groan. this was the only time she'd ever willingly bought him a bunch of sweets and let him eat them in peace while he ranted to her about the atrocities

kenji is more notorious on the streets than he knows. he got recognized by some huge 200cm tall man built like a goddamn tank with tattoos all over his body who wanted to fight him. kenji was so flattered that he knew his name that he thanked him and burly dude was like. wtf. anyways they got beef ramen together afterwards bonded over cows and are now besties. he's told the agency about it but they think that by "friend" he means someone else his age.

tanizaki ran into kajii once at his favourite thrift shop. he recognized him and ran out freaked never to return. for this reason he had to keep wearing his same stanky ahh uwu girl clothes that don't fit and hasn't had a style update. actually, when doing his research for how to infiltrate the mafia, tachihara found out that there have been a lot of sightings of known dangerous ability users in the thrift store, and that's why he wears the same shirt as tanizaki.

tachihara dreads the hunting dogs meetings because they make him feel like the only sane one there. his back has become so chiseled from carrying teruko around all the time, and once - jouno thought it would be funny - he tripped on a wire laying down on the ground and almost dropped her. he had to use his ability to pick her up from the belt of the uniform to prevent her from faceplanting, and she looked like she was about to explode. he had to let her beat him up a little then she hopped back on his shoulders and nothing changed. he questions his life choices often

jouno can't handle cinnamon or ginger scents, they overwhelm him and he goes into a fucking sensory overload coma. odor orgasm. sinus sex. teruko got sick once and tachi made her the strongest herbal and ginger tea you've ever seen (learnt it from his brother rip the goat) and he collapsed on the ground with a moan. woke up a half hour layer with no clue wth just happened. tecchou eventually heard about it, placed a hand on his shoulder and said "it happens to the best of us" while nodding solemnly then never elaborated.

yeah fukuchi and fukuzawa used to steal food when they were younger but imagine them figuring out milestones together. "dude my armpits are itchy where is this hair coming from :(" "genichiro i don't need to know about that *scratches at his armpit subtly*" i think they were very goofy about it

speaking of puberty elise once freaked mori out by saying she got her period. dude was like. wtf. you're an ability. how tf. she insisted he got her a bunch of tampons n pads and chocolate and heating pads and the works, then once he (the underlings he made go do the shopping threatening their lives if they ever told a soul) bought everything, she looked at his confused and asked why he bought those things. she's an ability how could she have a period? mori cried a little that night.

bram is a swiftie for no reason other than i think it's funny. alternatively, i believe he listens to reggae for no reason other than i think it's goddamn FUNNY.

kunikida's old students sometimes run into him on the street and recognize him. they immediately straighten their backs, nod at him and quickly walk away in the most respectful way because they don't want to ruin his schedule. he nearly tears up from happiness every time.

natsume goes through 5-6 "here, kitty kitty!"s in a day when he's just vibing around. people try to feed him grass blades. people get WAY too comfortable rubbing his stomach. once, a girl saw him on her way back from school and started scratching a random spot behind his ears and he folded so quickly and just melted on the sidewalk. he wont admit it but he has that weak spot in human form too (i want to pet him so badly this is self indulgent ok). the girl was actually gin btw. she's an animal whisperer i dont know why i dont know how but she is.

#im dying just a little because of the way my head is overfilling #i rly hope the anon who asked this is still around to see my answers :sob:#i LOVE making stupidly specific hcs this isn't even the half of it #guys drop your hcs or character you want my hcs for in my inbox!! (i want someone to spam my inbox womp womp)#yeah i spoke a lot about tachi what abt it #i love him a little too much i need someone else with the same level of obsession as me #i want him as an s/o so i'll be immune to bratty vending machines #^^OMG THIS APPEARED WHEN I WAS TYPING TAGS APPARENTLY I ALR WROTE THAT??? it's still true ofc #anyways yes i like to try to cater to most characters bc i'm a sucker for the underrated lomls #i would've slapped you with more lovecraft but i must ease back into writing hcs (i haven't done this in years)#uhhhh yeah #that's all my lil dumpling wumplings idk wtf else to write #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd hcs #bsd headcanons

that mermaid childe thing you reblogged totally put me onto sea monster dazai (imagine that dazai anon thinks about dazai call the news)... like imagine those giant empty eyes staring at you intently from underneath the still water. actually terrifying. hed probably be something fucked up looking too like a snake thing or an angler fish or something like that.... could also see him as a siren.... like ur too stubborn and well versed on the sea and its inhabitants to fall for his Beautiful Mermaid facade and hes initially got this horrible vendetta against you about it but eventually his obsession with getting you in the water with him Less so he can rip you apart and finally prove hes smarter than you and more so he can shove his weird fish tongue down ur throat i mean swim with you in a very well behaved fashion

ALSO adding an akutagawa thing cuz no one ever talks about my husband as often as they should. yan sea monster/mermaid akutagawa. he gets washed up on the beach, greviously injured, and despite the fact he keeps BITING AND SCRATCHING AND BEING SO MEAN 2 YOU you do your best to nurse him back to health in ur old pool u never use anymore (well, as healthy as aku Gets) until hes set to go back to the ocean. akutagawa has always known that humans are awful creatures who need to be killed before they kill him or his ilk, but maybe you're not so bad? first time for everything, he supposes. dont be shocked if you see some familiar scales glittering under the beach sun. or if people you know start washing up on the beach with a few less limbs than you remember them having. I was gonna immediately say aku is a shark but maybe octopus or squid would work cuz of how rashomon looks..... much to think about

- 🩹

you're so funny i can't breathe omg i too would like to swim with him in a well behaved fashion

cw: yandere characters, vague descriptions of sea creatures(?), mentions of cannibalism (well sea creature eats humans), obsessive behavior, non-con kissing, mentions of kidnapping and imprisonment, possessive behavior, jealousy, mentions of biting, scratching and self-inflicted wounds

siren dazai? no way sea monster dazai is the way to go! nothing about that guy looks safe but you know, he has a way with his words that you just can't help but think he's misunderstood and lonely. everyone thinks he's up to no good, but that's not the case at all! it's so unfortunate, you think, that dazai's being judged by the way he looks because he's really such a wonderful friend! what a shame that even the other sea creatures avoid him and his territory, of course it couldn't be because something was wrong with him. they were just being rude and outcasting him for something he couldn't control. you've spent enough time with him to know he was funny (in an odd way...it works on him, but if anyone else were to say his 'jokes' about eating you up and dragging you down to his cave and chaining you there, it would have terrified you. oh well, dazai's just never learned what jokes are supposed to be, so he just says the things people say about him. poor dazai, really) and he was really sweet, eager to help you with your troubles and offering his waters as a place for you to come to when you need to be alone and clear your head. not because he wants to be the only person you confide in and trust, definitely not!

and honestly, dazai was just bored. and what better way to spend the time than to trick some poor, unsuspecting human before making them his lunch? yum. sure, chuuya and a few select others were the only other mers that visited him, but that didn't mean he was lonely. he simply didn't care. of course, playing it up to you about how unfriendly everyone else was surely won over your sympathy, and it felt...sort of nice when you rubbed his cheek and looked at him with your sad eyes and told him you'd always be there for him. oh well, little human. he hopes you know he was going to hold you to that :)

his initial plan was just to earn your trust for a couple of days (because he knew how stupid and trusting humans were. terribly useless species, really. how did they survive for this long?) and then, under the pretense of an injury he couldn't reach, would coax you into getting into the water, where he could happily prepare you for a meal. but he began stalling, not wanting to eat you just yet. maybe you could entertain him a little while longer. playing with his food or whatever humans said. the more you talked to him and he learned about human relationships, the more curious he got. what did you mean, humans licked each other's mouths? how disgusting, he definitely wasn't interested in trying. what was so special about hand holding and cuddling and whatever the hell kissing was???? and why did he want to do it to you??? one day, he can't hold back his curiosity and drags you into the water off your boat, ignoring your screaming just to try and see if he "can shove his weird fish tongue down ur throat". and maybe more. obviously the talk about consent flew over his head, because what do you mean, you didn't want to do this with him? didn't you kiss people you like? and if you were coming to visit dazai this often, you definitely liked him right?

regardless, it wasn't anything he couldn't change with a little bit of time :)

akutagawa hm i think as much as i would love for him to be a sparkly shiny mermaid i think that role is more suited for chuuya aka the prettiest person EVER sorry anyway akutagawa octopus ver kinda reminds me of the kraken but shark akutagawa is also a wonderful picture i will figure that out eventually don't worry

so just another day of strolling on the beach admiring the sparkling water and woah what's that? a wild akutagawa has appeared! you find him beached and bleeding and you must obviously help him out! how could you leave him out there, alone and vulnerable? it's a little difficult to bring him to your conveniently close to the beach house, especially since he keeps growling and biting at your arms, but you finally make it and help him into the pool where he finally calms down enough for you to dress his wounds and give him something to eat.

and as much as he hates to admit it, he kind of likes it here with you. you're unexpectedly nice and not annoying or overbearing and your food tastes pretty good. sometimes, he's still waiting on you to ship him over to some evil merfolk killing people or a zoo or something terrible, or maybe you want to kill him yourself for his parts. but you don't do any of that. like you promised him, you bring him back to the ocean and wave him off.

except now, he really doesn't want to leave.

a week or so later, when you're back strolling by the shore, a familiar lump of something is waiting for you, wounded and stranded. you don't notice the way his eyes light up when he sees you, but you definitely notice that he wasn't biting you this time. sure, he has an iron-tight grip on you with his appendages, but maybe he was just scared? and the cycle continues. sometimes, you find fresh fish and seashells on the spot where you found him first, but most of the time, you find him, injured and waiting for your help. you don't suspect him of purposely hurting himself in order to see you and feel you nursing him back to health, but it does start to get a little suspicious. maybe he just got bullied a lot.

oddly enough, he's never friendly when you bring someone else with you. if by chance he's on the shore and you are with another person, akutagawa becomes hostile, growling and scratching at your companion until they run away and it's just him and you again. the way it should be :)

Fyodor Dostoevsky - a small Psychological analysis

Disclaimer: This refers to BSD Fyodor exclusively not his real life counterpart.

-by Nix

PART 2!

(Sourcing: Joe Navarro M.A- An ex-FBI agent on deception, espionage, interrogation, and reading people.)

2. Religious Delusions and Cult Leader Mentality.

Now, to start off I believe it is best if I tackle the issue of 'Religious Delusion' first.

Fyodor is blatantly and without a doubt suffering from this type of delusion- by definition this type of delusion refers to, realistically:

- "any delusion associated with religious beliefs and grandiose ideas with religious content. Delusional ideation frequently includes beliefs that the individual is the embodiment of a notable religious figure, such as a messiah or prophet, and that he or she possesses special powers, such as the ability to cure all illness. Such beliefs may be a feature of grandiose-type delusional disorder."-(American Psychological Association)

This circumstance ultimately leads Fyodor to form something that can most accurately be described as a poor excuse of a cult. Seeing as he has followers, but not because they necessarily believe in his delusion- though that is up for debate.

For this side of Fyodor's Psyche I will present the work of Joe Navarro, who has studied in length the lives, teachings and behaviors of some of the most infamous cult leaders.

Putting up Fyodor's character breakdown first, there are facts we can section out about his 'personality'. Fyodor's factual traits are those of complete narcissism, which is a defining factor of cult leaders.

Quoting Joe Navarro on this subject:

"I can say that what stands out about these individuals is that they were or are all pathologically narcissistic. They all have or had an over-abundant belief that they were special, that they and they alone had the answers to problems, and that they had to be revered. "

This is where Fyodor's associates/ followers come into play. Now it would be a stretch to say that the people working alongside Fyodor are his "followers".

Taking Nikolai as an example, he doesn't follow Fyodor because he shares his religious delusion per say, he follows Fyodor because he (for all we know) considers him a 'friend'.

However, there is a tendency of the peoole arround him to overlook things about Fyodor-

Joe Navarro says:

"They demanded perfect loyalty from followers, they overvalued themselves and devalued those around them, they were intolerant of criticism, and above all they did not like being questioned or challenged. And yet, in spite of these less than charming traits, they had no trouble attracting those who were willing to overlook these features."

While we see Fyodor indulge in banter with Dazai, and admittedly through the character's nature he doesn't seem to regard most verbal or psychological attacks as a 'challenge'. He is truly considered challenged in physical situations, not cognitive ones such as mind games and tricks. In physical challenges he cracks and displays his displeasure:

-Ace smashing a wine bottle on his head (annoyance)

-Dazai finding his location and getting him arrested (shock)

-(MANGA SPOILERS!!!) -Being stuck in the room with the water rising (annoyance) !!!!

Here is a small list of traits found in Cult leaders that match up with BSD Fyodor:

• He has a grandiose idea of who he is and what he can achieve.

• Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, or brilliance.

• Demands blind, unquestioned obedience.

• Anyone who criticizes or questions him is called an “enemy.”

• Refers to non-members or non-believers as “the enemy.”

• Acts imperious at times, not wishing to know what others think or desire.

• Believes himself to be omnipotent.

• Doesn’t seem to listen well to needs of others; communication is usually one-way, in the form of dictates.

• Haughtiness, grandiosity, and the need to be controlling is part of his personality.

• Behaves as though people are objects to be used, manipulated or exploited for personal gain.

• Makes members confess their sins or faults, publicly subjecting them to ridicule or humiliation while revealing exploitable weaknesses of the penitent.

• Has ignored the needs of others, including: biological, physical, emotional, and financial needs.

• Is arrogant and haughty in his behavior or attitude.

• Has an exaggerated sense of power (entitlement) that allows him to bend rules and break laws.

• Doesn’t seem to feel guilty for anything he has done wrong nor does he apologize for his actions.

• Believes he possesses the answers and solutions to world problems.

• Believes himself to be a deity or a chosen representative of a deity.

• "Rigid," "unbending," or "insensitive" describes how this person thinks.

• Tries to control others in what they do, read, view, or think.

• Uses enforcers or sycophants to ensure compliance from members or believers.

• Sees self as “unstoppable” and perhaps has even said so.

• Conceals background or family, which would disclose how plain or ordinary he is.

• Doesn’t think there is anything wrong with himself and in fact sees himself as perfection or “blessed.”

• Has taken away followers' freedom to leave, to travel, to pursue life and liberty.

• Has isolated the group physically (moved to a remote area) so as to not be observed.

• Is superficially charming.

• Treats others with contempt and arrogance.

• Is constantly assessing people to determine those who are a threat or those who revere him.

-Stay tuned for part 3?

okay i do NOT know how tumblr works so i’m making this new post bcuz someone commented about the Mori comment i made last post so basically i’ll go over a crash course on why i don’t think he’s a pedo!

1) he calls Elise his wife

yup, he says this in an omake of bsd. however, the word he uses in this context is 妻 (tsuma), which is used to mean wife NOW, but meant something more along the lines of “lifelong partner” in the past. he’s being a screwy bastard and trying to toy with Fukuzawa by using a word that means either “wife” or “partner,” but basically he’s trying to see how far he can take it. calling a kid your wife is strange, sure, but calling a kid your partner could really mean anything.

2) he sees Elise naked

tbh i’m not really sure why this one proves anything. he’s trying to put clothes ON her, not take them off. he doesn’t look aroused or anything. actually, he looks… no thoughts brain empty. there’s not a single thought in that head of his at this moment, much less any sexual comments about Elise’s body.

3) Elise is based off of Yosano, Mori was obsessed with Yosano

once again, there’s nothing inherently sexual here. he abused Yosano (not with the intention to hurt her, but with the idea that her mental and physical well-being were a worthy sacrifice for the hundreds of thousands of other lives on the line), he didn’t prey on her? he canonically feels remorseful over Dazai’s lack of will to live, so it’s not too much of a stretch to say he has regrets about Yosano as well. in that case, Elise would represent the petulant and innocent attitude Yosano could have developed instead of her hardened views of the world. i think he sees Elise as a daughter, and i think he regrets not being able to treat Yosano as one either

4) “i prefer those 12 and under”

i’m foggy on the details, but he says something to that effect in a conversation with Kouyou. The context is that she’s calling him a capable boss, to which he replies, “i prefer my subordinates to be younger” (or something…). once again, this isn’t something that strikes me as inherently pedophilic. he likes young subordinates because they are weak and impressionable, and that sort of docile attitude just so happens to fit in well with his pastime of mansplain manipulate malewifing the yokohama underground. anyway, it’s nothing sexual. his organization literally human traffics, and he’s never once stepped in to do strange things to the children on their way to be sold. he couldn’t care less about them, he just wants smart yet dependent and naive underlings. also anyone who read this scene as them flirting is very ill-read in my opinion. they are not flirting. stick your shipping agenda back into fanon interpretation of characters. Mori and Kouyou are girlbossing the entirety of the port mafia together, but they’re not girbossing each other.

5) his character sheet

his character sheet does indeed have “young girls” in the likes category, but let me amend this- the words used are 幼女, aka “maiden.” you might say, “tai, japanese doesn’t differentiate singulars and plurals,” to which i reply, “have we seen him even interacting with woman out of his job?” the answer is no. he basically speaks to Elise and Kouyou, and there’s his female companionship. he’s married to his job, guys. he doesn’t have the time to frolic around with young women. but anyway, it doesn’t say “young girls,” it says “maiden(s)” so just take the plurality in the translation with a grain of salt. it could be referring to one single girl (Elise cough cough) (his daughter cough cough). also please ignore how astoundingly high res this image is.

6) Mori and fukuzawa’s argument

who’s surprised at this point when i say that this was also a mistranslation? not me! Mori says something to the effect of, “are you still fawning over stray cats?” to which Fukuzawa replies “and are you fawning over that girl still?” it was translated, for some inconceivable reason, as “only as much as you fawn over young girls” (or something) which i just don’t understand. yenpress, look me in the eye, this is not you. anyway zenki soukoku beloved.

7) letter to nathaniel

Mori plans on killing nathaniel and margret in the guild arc, right? so he has absolutely zero reason to lie when he sends them a letter saying “i want your ship and also you guys’ lives. thanks uwu” right ????? in the official translation in that letter, he calls Elise his child. idk how much more specific you can get there, chief. Elise is Mori’s daughter, your honor.

is this all i have to say? absolutely not. i could talk my head off about why Mori isn’t a pedo for ages, and i can connect it to “vita sexualis,” “the dancing girl,” Asagiri’s own opinion on Ougai’s legacy as an author and general, the irl Mori and Yosano’s relationship in comparison to the bsd version, and also the opinions of the fans in different languaged-fanbases. unfortunately, it’s way too early for my brain to function, and i now depart to feel the warm embrace of my very own Yoshiko chan. goodbye, tumblr, and i hope you agree with what i’ve said in this long-winded message~~

#mori ougai #elise #bungou stray dogs #rant #spare me please #god i have too many thoughts #someone kill me now #anyway Mori is so pretty and you guys just aren’t ready to handle his swag
