More tiny guests!! both requests and some I just thought of! I absolutely had to make Gab and Wells when someone asked for them
Gently handing them to you be nice to them (NO chewing)
(asks and animal choice โ†“)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@fandomrouletteburrito, @rachi-roo, thank you! <3
Gab is a sea otter for: sea, floats, has special rock (island), needed friends not to lose himself, breaks open shells
Wells is a puma/cougar because of 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' by HG Wells (it's medical horror so watch out) for the puma-woman hybrid that killed Dr Moreau.
Yosano is a honey badger (please look at this video, warning for swearing) because they're metal as fuck and don't die from poison.
Atsushi. I tried to make him something else but I couldn't think of anything good and he had a whole arc about accepting the tiger. I let him have this one.
Ranpo is cat for Fukuzawa's sake (warning: this might actually make Fukuzawa explode)
Fukuzawa might hold the "lone wolf" title, but he's also the chill guy who has taken in all the other ADA members. He gets capybara'd.
Mori is a chipmunk here because we were talking about how they actually are omnivores and then I found this picture and couldn't stop laughing. Sometimes I'm shallow like that. (I'm open to suggestions for more fitting mammals with a matching Elise if you have one jhsdgfhjh)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and Sigma is a rabbit because he's nervous and jumpy yet fierce and inexplicably just has that vibe ๐Ÿ‡

Mori Ogai and Regret
Mori in the BSD Manga and Light Novels prides himself in always finding the optimal solution, in pushing his own feelings aside to accomplish the optimal goal for any given situation.
He is a man of logic and carefully wielded cruelty.
We see countless examples of the way he handles things and in the end achieves the best possible solution to his problems.
Killing the old Boss and having Dazai as his witness
Dazai pointing out that he himself is a possible danger to the initial plan
Chuuya remaining a loyal part of the Port Mafia
Driving Dazai away
Getting the Skilled Buisness Permit
The Great War and Yosano
There were all instances where we saw Mori put aside his own emotions and morality to achieve a greater goal. He wielded cruelty, facts and logic as weapons to achieve the in his mind most logical and optimal solution.
But Mori is human. And Humans can not completely disregard and turn off their emotions, no matter how hard they try.
Mori himself says that he has no regrets during the Guild Arc.
Tumblr media
But does this like the face of a man void of regrets?
Tumblr media
Or this?
In this instance Dazai is choosing the words that will invoke the feeling of Regret in Mori to push him towards choosing a truce with the ADA.
Dazai is aware that Mori has regrets.
But so is Hirotsu.
His inclusion in any conversations Dazai and Mori have regarding the old Boss tells us, as the reader, that Hirotsu knows the full picture.
He isn't just aware that Mori killed the old Boss like other people, but also of Mori's goal from that act.
Hirotsu even goes as far as to tell Mori that Dazai understands why Mori did what he did, implies that Dazai would also understand other actions Mori takes to reach the optimal solution.
But this also shows us something different.
Mori needs reminders.
After Mori killed the old PM Boss Dazai became a constant reminder of why he did what he did. It was inevitable that Dazai would forever remind Mori of the act itself and the initial reasoning behind it, since Dazai was present and Dazai helped him plan it.
Once Dazai left the Mafia Hirotsu transformed into a reminder of it all. In some way Kouyou is also a reminder of what he did and why he did it.
But why these two?
They were there during the reign of the old Boss.
But how does Mori remember the regrets of another part of his past? How does he remind himself of a time where he miscalculated, where he should have taken the emotions of the people he regarded as tools into account?
How is Mori reminded of the mistakes and regrets of the Great War, of Yosano?
Elise.
Tumblr media
Elise is Mori's ability, Vita Sexualis. A humanoid puppet to control as he wishes.
But also to shape as he wishes.
During the Great War Elise is nothing more than a robotic being wearing a human skin, void of emotions, thoughts and autonomy.
Tumblr media
Mori has always made Elise take the form of a younger girl.
While it is speculated in the fandom that this could be linked to his Lolicon, I believe otherwise.
Elise is for one inspired by the Novel The Dancing Girl from the real life author. But since she is Mori's ability in BSD she will be influenced by his subconcious.
Elise shows us that Mori, even in his twenties, wanted an apprentice. He wanted to impart his knowledge on someone else but until he found Yosano he did not have someone to do this with.
Tumblr media
(Im Beast Elise takes the form of a women. Mori already has children to take care of and bestow his knowledge upton, he doesn't need her to fill thie role. But he does need another caretaker, so that is what Elise becomes)
Yosano herself says in the Manga that she respected Mori as a doctor.
Choosing a young and mallable girl as his apprentice did make her easier to manipulate, to create an army that can not die. But young people are also sponges for knowledge.
Tumblr media
And here we come to his regret.
Mori does regret how he handled the situation with Yosano.
Tumblr media
He liked that strong willed and opinionated young girl he drafted, and he broke her.
We do not see much of Elise until Dark Era, so we can not tell how long it took for Elise to display Yosanos personality after Yosano was redcued by Fukuzawa and Ranpo.
Tumblr media
In this official Art we see Yosanos shadow in Elise, a clear indication of teh fact that Mori's impression of Yosano was bleeding into Elise. But we also see her still wearing pigtails.
Her hair and general clothing tells us that this is between loosing Yosano and Dark Era. With time, Elise will resemble Yosano more.
Tumblr media
(The bow resembles the butterfly hairpin of Yosano.)
In this scene Mori tries to convince Elise to try on a new dress.
She refuses and clearly displays Yosano's personality in thsi interaction. From the way Mori handles it this isn't knew.
Their dynamic had already shifted into something more like Yosano and Mori instead of the Ability and Mori.
But her hair is different from the last picture.
Elise now has open and wavy hair. Does this remind you of someone?
Tumblr media
(For a boy Dazai has always worn his hair longer than traditional seen as boyish, which in turn let's his ends curl and wave more noticable)
But why would Elise take on appearance markers of Dazai?
Simple.
Because there is something Mori regrets.
Tumblr media
He only openly mentiones it in Beast but since Beast is a mirror of Canon, that shows us how different choices will change the same people, we can assume this are also the feelings of Canon!Mori.
Mori regrets not being able to really help Dazai.
And his regret will only get deeper as he makes another choice for an optimal solution.
Driving Dazai away and getting Oda killed fulfilled many positives for Mori, what he reached was the optimal solution. He just had to lose his right hand man.
Tumblr media
(Light Novel Dark Era)
This is not the behavior of a man not regretting driving away the boy he cared about for 4 years to this point.
To this day Mori leaves Dazai's spot as executive open. He invited Dazai back into the Mafia.
And when we see Elise after Dark Era she has changed once again.
But this time it is not her appearance that changed, it is her attitude.
Elise displays a very much Dazai-like attitude when talking to Mori.
Where Yosano - and until the end of Dark Era Elise - were strong in their oppinion but polite and steadfast in their refusal, Dazai was bargaining. Dazai more often than not wanted something in exchange for doing something he deemed unpleasant/bothersome/boring.
During the recent timeline Elise also does this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She doesn't just refuse things, she makes deals.
Tumblr media
And she doesn't lie during negotiations, just like Dazai.
Tumblr media
In the end Elise changes to be more like the people Mori feels a form of regret over. Elise is a constant reminder of his Regrets and Mistakes.
To support this, here are Asagiris words about Mori from the BSD Exhibition:
โ€œHe who fell out of the optimal solutionโ€
Mori Ougaiโ€™s belief as the boss is described in the novel โ€œDark Eraโ€ and โ€œDazai, Chuuya, Fifteenโ€. That is โ€œThe boss stands on top of the organization, and at the same time, be the slave of all.โ€ For the sake of the organization, the boss must always take the โ€œlogical optimal solution.โ€ That is the duty of the boss.
There is an unspoken additional point to it. โ€œTherefore, no matter how much your heart aches, you have to ignore your personal feelings.โ€ We can catch a glimpse of that in this scene. [the ADA-PM alliance meeting]
Moriโ€™s expressions after โ€œBurnt it.โ€ and โ€œLike what you did to your predecessorโ€, gave us a glimpse of his true feelings that were made sacrifices for the sake of the โ€œlogical optimal solutionโ€.
[Translation by @popopretty here on Tumblr]
A true optimal solution would leave Mori with no regrets. But whenever Elise changes and reminds him of regrets he feels, it is also a reminder of the time he did not truly reach an optimal solution.

I feel so stupid. HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE ELISES BOW IS A DIRECT PARALLEL TO YOSANO'S BUTTERFLY!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elise doesn't have is during the war and it being on the opposite side might represent how the butterfly is a symbol of hope and comfort for Yosano but Elise is a symbol of longing and regret for Mori.

Hello! I just read your Makima/Nayuta reader and Really like it and I wanna give you my own ideas for Makima/Nayuta reader
For personality reader will of course,be really cunning,smart,and good at manipulate people as this is the biggest trait in Makima which mean reader know something is clearly off with how the agency is treating him but all of those trait are cover with his childish and outgoing personality. Even tho reader is young and mischievous he is charming own his own making other people let down their guard
And now his ability(i'll just take two Makima ability),since reader controlling ability only work when he think he's better than someone on the same person I like to think he'll be quite egoistic and view some people as his dogs Just like Makima.Then we got makima shooting ability,for this reader just need to hold his hand and position his hand to a finger gun and go "bang" then it will shoot through the person who he aimed
Bonus,For the part 2 I like to think that the agency is absolutely in shambles and try to look for reader everywhere meanwhile reader is with the port mafia.Mori probably try to take reader in as he realize how useful his ability is but reader will immeadiately know something is odd about the man and play along with Mori and maybe mess a bit Mori with his ability
Honestly that all,sorry if there is a spelling mistakes as english is not my mother tongue

Part 1 here
Part 3 here
Tumblr media
The first thing of what Chuuya thought was he absolutely find you tolerable and cute (platonically) as you have your own puppy! How can he not be happy to find someone who have the same interest and practically he can handle kids just well.
But.. He was confused on why Mori requested him to take the kid with him to find out about his ability but first company them to shopping trip.
He wonder why but obliged to do so, now he was stuck with you while Moro is busy buying clothes for the children more likely first Elise.
He even told Chuuya to warn if he spot an agency member or sort which confused him yet agreed to do so.
So.. it begins of him babysitting you for the day, While Mori is busy in the mall with Elise as you were with Chuuya who hold your hands every step you take.
"Ne! Ne! Chu-chu-niisan! Can I have the latest edition icecream of Pikachu special?!" You asked with doe eyes as he sweatdropped.
He was about to deny as he doesn't want to leave the boss but your teary eyes make him stop and agreed to quickly buy it for you.
You hugged his leg in joy as he chuckle and take you with him.
The problem was the icecream was selling on the rooftop.
It was just a happy moment until someone try to attack/hostage you as you were just 10-12 year old boy.
The man kept a gun on your head as you snivel in teary eyes.
Chuuya was hesitant as wrong move you can be in danger as he believe you don't truly have an ability or maybe you have but it is useful for agency not Port mafia and perhaps Mori analyse about it is wrong.
"Chuchu-niisan!" You wailed as the man warn Chuuya not to move.
"Don't worry y/n! I will save you" said Chuuya as he try to come up with a plan as the rooftop was empty now.
"Chuchu-ni-" "shut up" as the man beat your head with the gun (bottom) harshly making it bleed.
"You! I will kill you!" Exclaimed Chuuya angrily as the person smirk when you were quiet your head was low as blood drip from your forehead to the ground.
'Is he unconscious'
"Y/n.." Muttered Chuuya who almost try to attack the man until, you started to giggle as the man and Chuuya was confused.
Your eyes stare up and smile at the man while, making a gun finger sign.
"Ne uncle let's play a game.. Who can shoot first me or you"
"Hah? /y/n!" Called Out Chuuya who try to rush to you but before he could.
"Bang!"
The blood splattered his vision as the man body fall to the ground with half of his body splattered into the ground and you, while you hold out your finger gun quickly waving to the dead body.
"Uncle! you were too late!"
"...." Chuuya stood there motionless as he stare at the kid who have no remorse of killing a person.
He gulped as you smile at Chuuya.
"Chuchu-niisan! My clothes are dirty! Can we buy new clothes for me please?"
"..." He slowly nod as he felt you tug his hand dragging him.
'I should call someone to erase evidence' thought Chuuya as he firmly hold your hand while you skipped happily with your clothes and face slightly splattered in blood.
......
Chuuya realise one thing that your ability was dangerous and he hope Yumeno and you doesn't meet.
As Chuuya explain to Mori what he have witnessed earlier today as you and Elise fall asleep on the backseat with Mori seating on other side of the driver seat.
"What shall we do boss?"
"What shall we do? I didn't thought the Agency was keeping a boy this dangerous! His ability is terrifying especially when he just killed without a remorse! We should sent him to jail or sort.."
As Chuuya sneak glance at Mori who smirk after the rant.
"Is what good people said, and Port mafia is something that accept those who have tianted hands don't we..?"
"Yes boss" Chuuya said as his hands on the steering tightens while listening to Mori about dressing you up with Elise with the new clothes he brought.
Chuuya admit he wish he didn't hear those words uttered by Mori.
.
..
In the Agency the franticness quiet down.
Kunikida had dark circles as he finally print out a paper as Yosano is sharpening her butcher knife to threaten the person who stole their adorable child.
Atsushi, Jun'chiro and Kyouka eventually come back while shook heads as they couldn't find anything about you.
Kenji was frowning too.
Ranpo didn't have a bite of his sweets as he is busy looking at the papers reading any headline of a murder or sort.
They know your ability can kill.
But they can't blame you as you are just a child and your ability kill when someone harm you in a worse manner like beaten you, stab you or even shoot you or sort. It was eventually reassuring that your ability is strong and protect you from harm but it is concerning if someone use you for wrong deeds!.
As the evidence were laid on the table as they all stare at Ranpo who didn't have a bite of his sweets until he find you.
"Ranpo-san" they all muttered as Ranpo wear his glasses quietly without an ounce of pride or sort simply serious.
His eyes darken as he hold the paper tightly.
"So.. where is he?" Asked Fukuzawa as Ranpo glance up with an darken face.
As the others await his answer and for the first time they look like they can kill anyone who harm you or try to take you away from them after all, You are like their child, their younger brother or sort!
Even Kyouka is ready to kill even if she is in agency she won't hesistate.
Dazai was in deep thought with a dark face in the corner.
For some reason his gut feeling tell something tragic was going to happen.. He hope you will be safe at least.
As Ranpo kept down the paper with a dark expression. As everything went frozen for a moment when Ranpo spoke.
"In port mafia and the boss knows his ability"
.
...
.
.
.
.
.
.
A:n- that's all good day/night to you all! Hope you all rest well!

so. do you think the port mafia rules are pasted on a poster on the door to moriโ€™s office in comedically small comic sans
Tumblr media
if you canโ€™t read them (and honestly iโ€™d be more surprised if you could):
1. be a decent member of our organization and whatnot
2. you can no longer just leave out of nowhere, especially not if you're a person in power. thanks dazai
3. you can no longer buy your way into being an executive. thanks ace
4. if your name is dazai osamu you are to stay outside of a 100 mile radius around the building (rule suggested and enforced by nakahara chuuya)
5. as long as you are in this organization you will ALWAYS pour the milk in before the cereal
6. failure to comply to the rule above results in the death penalty
7. don't ask mori about elise. just don't (rule suggested and enforced by ozaki kouyou)
8. don't go in the basement
9. don't ask WHY you can't go in the basement
10. you can't go in the basement because verlaine is down there. this is self-explanatory enough
11. steal something from the person who got you into the organization or whatever. if you joined on your own, no you didn't
12. do not question nakahara chuuya about his past affiliations with dazai, he WILL bark at you like a chihuahua for the rest of the week
13. the popcorn machine is always broken (thanks to chuuya), don't bother trying to fix it. trust me, we've tried, that was some good crusty popcorn man
14. refrain from using personal playlists as background ambience during executive meetings (especially those containing the song "it's not like i like you" by static-p. we donโ€™t talk about why this is a rule)
15. ignore rules 5-6
