VTA AU LESHY AND MIYU (YELLOW CAT) DESIGNS! (+ DOODLES)

Boy oh boy!!! Leshycat be upon ye!!! While Narilamb is the focus of this au there WILL be a couple side-stories that focus on the little adventures of different characters, Leshy and Miyu being one of those cases.

But omg! Look at them!!!

(Pssss their color palettes compliment each other—WHO SAID THAT)

Ya’ll already know who Leshy is so I will be skipping his introduction, so meet Miyu! Likely the Cult’s best farmer who definitely doesn’t sleep a healthy amount of hours every night and totally not works overtime at the farm to avoid said activity! They were rescued along with their two little siblings after the farm they lived in was attacked by heretics, fanatics of a certain ex-god of chaos, which got Miyu to grow quite scared and resentful towards said god. The problem? They interact with him everyday…oh but don’t worry, it’s not like they know it’s him, so it should be fine, right?

*laughs in plot convenience*

Anyways DOODLE TIME!! (Under the cut)

(Leshycat mini-comic #1: First meeting)

Fellas is it gay to stick around a random farmer cat because their smell reminds you of home and safety and warmth and they have a nice voice. Is it gay to think all that

(Leshycat mini-comic #2: overtime)

They make me ILL. AND IM THE ONE CREATING THEIR STORYLINE SO LIKE. I need to throw them into the sun.

Anyways! Side plots will likely have little comics like this ones to go over the shenanigans of the side characters and silly stuff like that…I’m very excited to cover the fun lore I have planned for these two!!!

Until then :]

(He’s got that absolutely unhinged rizz)

#but tbf Miyu isn’t used to having someone actually listen to their advice #so it makes them very happy that Leshy tries #to some extent #when he’s not trying to eat the farming gear #or screaming #cult of the lamb #cotl au #cult of the lamb leshy #leshy x yellow cat #leshycat #vows to ash au #cotl oc #I think #idk #oh well #cotl yellow cat

‘We need more bipolar characters’ 

YOU COULDBNT EVEN HANDLE HIM

first of all i think this is common knowledge but he exhibits a complex and erratic personality which i think could potentially be interpreted as symptom of bipolar disorder - bipolar is a characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania) and lows (depression) - throughout the series and manga (i think the manga shows this better) mellos behavior fluctuates dramatically displaying periods of intense energy impulsivity and irritability which align with manic episodes,,. - in the manga mellos depicted as ambitious driven and sometimes reckless in his pursuit of catching Kira. he has a chronic case of impulsive decision making such as kidnapping poeple and hijacking a character showcases a lack of regard for consequences which is a hallmark trait of manic behavior - i also think mellos extreme emotional responses ranging from fits of rage to moments of despair mirror the intense mood swings characteristic of bipolar disorder. he also struggles with self esteem and identity also point towards bipolar disorder... individuals with bipolar disorder often experience fluctuations in self esteem oscillating between grandiosity during manic episodes and profound self doubt during depressive episodes - mellos constant comparison to near (who he he and only he sees as his rival) and his need to prove himself could stem from underlying insecurities exacerbated by his mood swings

him developing bipolar could totally be a normal trauma response from literally a lot of abuse that he has faced, most of the main characters from wammys house show no signs of like rebellion or outlandish behavior like he does but that doesnt necessarily mean that nothing happened and i think the author gave characters such as near and the other orphans way too much mental fortitude. bipolar can be developed at any age and its especially common between ages 15-19. not to mention other than it being genetic, theres a huge link between bipolar and childhood trauma. like imagine being groomed your whole childhood into this competitive environment with other 4 year olds to be the smartest toddler so u can substitute this crazy genius when he dies. and think of it like come on theres no chance all of these kids desperately wanted to be detectives when they grew up there was definitely like some sort of foul play. L is an exception obviously since the orphanage became abusive after he came and he was treated like a king basically while the other orphans mental state was completely disregarded because they were only brought in from several corners of the world solely to be his successor. in fact the first generation orphans were literally expected to kill themselves because of the pressure and A killing himself literally was not a shock at all to the orphanage in fact i suspect that a lot of the first generation orphans made to succeed L had a horrible mental state and also killed themselves which if you think about it B (which stood for backup) losing his mind was completely normal even if the way he went about challenging L was not. not to mention how he had to live with shinigami eyes but thats for another post lolol.,,, anyways yeah mello's behavior is actually justified when you think about how much of an abusive household he lived in even if its kind of obvious that the author disregarded coming up with an explanation for the orphans mental wellbeing and how it would have affected their adolescence except from the character of mello and even when they show mello they basically make him seem insane and watari like an angel . reading the la bb murder cases from mello's perspective really opened my eyes to like how it actually was in wammys house u can really understand it from his tone and stuff also with that one page hold on lemme find it

'but what if they could copy him? what if they could make a backup? that was us. L's children, gathered from all corners of the world. children gathered together, never told each other's names. but even for a genuis like watari, creating a fake L was easier said than done. even for near and i, who were said to be the closest to L... the more we tried to be like him, the closer we got, the farther away he was, like chasing a mirage. so i hardly need to tell you what it was like when wammy's house was first founded, when he was still experimenting. the first child, A, was unable to handle the pressure of living up to L and took his own life, and the second child, beyond birthday, was brilliand and deviant. B stood for Backup.'

'L was the goal of everyone in wammys house. everyone one of us wanted to surpass him. to step over him. to step on him. M did, N did and B did. M as a challenger, N as a successor. B as a criminal.'

sorry for my complete lack of spelling punctuation and grammar but i think i got my point across and also big thanks to @monards who helped me finish this draft by giving me the energy to continue and also encouraging my crippling death note addiction by feeding into it with questions and remarks like 'woah!' and 'eureka!'

The fact that there’s only one time in Chuuya’s life that Corruption was activated (outside of the lab) where Dazai wasn’t there in the aftermath and that was when Chuuya was just 7 years old and left in the crater of the explosion he created, in so much pain and with gravity probably still fluctuating around him. Nothing but complete destruction, hell on earth, and suffering for a seven-year-old child.

Chuuya is never in good shape after he uses Corruption, and I imagine he wasn’t in good shape after he used the full force of Arahabaki (and by used I mean when it was forced out of him due to Rimbaud). And like, we’ve seen Chuuya close Verlaine’s gate when he defeated the Beast of Guivre, and it left Verlaine close to death (though I also imagine that’s in part due to the fact Verlaine isn’t really human), and we also saw earlier on in Storm Bringer when Verlaine opened Corruption for only a second and then closed the gate that Chuuya was in agony, left to suffer in the hell of what was left of the street he’d been on. 

That scene of Chuuya lying on the ground in what used to be an alleyway in excruciating pain is already hard to read, and he’s 16 then (still so young) but at least Dazai still comes (even though he doesn’t technically have to) and nullifies the aftershocks of Chuuya’s ability that are causing him so much pain. Causing him to suffer.

But imagine Chuuya at 7 years old, imagine how small that is, probably in nothing more than a hospital gown, lying in the rubble of the giant crater that will one day become Suribachi city, experiencing all that suffering and probably more. He’s completely alone in the hell of his own ability’s destruction, in unimaginable pain. His frail body that’s been in a lab for so long probably spasming with the pain as he feels the sun for the first time in who knows how long. And there was no one to hold him or catch him or for him to fall into. No one’s lap to rest his head on. No one to hoist him onto their shoulders and carry him away from the carnage. No one to nullify the pain he was in. No one to comfort him or remind him who he was.

What did he probably have to do when he woke up? Wait until he had enough strength to sit up, wait until the dizziness abated enough for him to stand, and through the disorientation walk on his own two feet despite the pain. He’d been through plenty of it after all, even if he couldn’t remember why, his body remembered.

He’d have to piece together any scraps of memory he had. His name probably came first. Then the horrific feeling of the power inside him and that he was probably responsible for the hellscape he was trying to navigate, cutting and scraping his bare feet in the crater of what was.  

Find the corpse of some military personnel that’d been killed in the explosion Arahabaki had caused, far enough away he hadn’t been completely obliterated, and at least steal some of his uniform to wear, though it was much too big for his skinny 7-year-old frame. And the shoes wouldn’t do him any good, they’d just fall off, the jacket already kept slipping off his shoulder.

And then, in that moment, he was perhaps the loneliest person in the world. Not later, when he was 16 and had someone to catch him and someone had just attempted to sacrifice himself for Chuuya. No, then he had a semblance of a family. But when he was 7, that was when he was just alone, and in pain, with no one to reassure him that everything was alright, that nothing was his fault. That his destructive power didn’t make him less human. If anything, he was probably lucky no one with bad intentions found him. 

And then who knows how long later, he’d wandered far enough away from the wreckage, under a bridge where a couple of other kids around his age found him. Still without shoes and in a military uniform far too large for him. Filthy and starving, but having the strength, having the courage to ask a kid “what’s that square thing?” “Tell me what that square thing is in your hand. Right now.” Last ditch effort of demanding, because somehow he still had a strong will. And the kid was just holding a slice of bread. Chuuya just wanted to know if he could eat it. 

Like, can we just talk about the tragedy of that? How truly sad it is that when Chuuya asked “what’s that square thing” and the answer was just bread. Shirase just explaining“I was holding a slice of bread,” and then having to show him that it was edible. Like, my god. And then Chuuya just… faints, on the spot “like he was out of batteries,” as Shirase describes. Finally all his energy and willpower to survive depleted in this moment of hopeful safety. Shirase also says Chuuya looked half dead he was so skinny.

But at least Chuuya had finally found some people who’d given him some food and water. At least Shirase decided to take him to some shelter, even if it was in the sewers. He finally had people, even if they weren’t well off, they had something. Finally he wasn’t alone. And when he learned he had something to offer them in return in the form of his ability? Well, of course he was going to use it to help them.

Also, just, his first memory was of being alone and in pain. Where he is now may not be perfect, but thank god he’s come such a long way and has people and a home and food and luxuries. But like, he just has to live with that every day.

Oh, and mind you, all this was happening to Chuuya close to the end/in the aftermath of the war, which was already a bad time for people, as Murase talks about. He says “But it was the end of the war, and there were supply shortages everywhere you went. Some kids from the Settlement appeared out of nowhere and tried to sneak inside to steal some food.” So on top of Chuuya’s personal struggles, there were shortages of supplies everywhere, bad enough that kids were trying to sneak into military facilities for food. 

So, yeah, this actually massively got away from me, into the territory of hcs and back out again. But like, every time we see Chuuya use Corruption Dazai is around, because he really has to be. And I love that. But just thinking about the one time where Dazai wasn’t around after the full effects of Chuuya’s ability and how that was probably the worst time and Chuuya was only 7 and alone and woke up in the middle of essentially hell on earth with like no memories. It makes me want to scream, and that’s why I wrote this. And then I reread the part in SB where Shirase explains how he met Chuuya and just got even sadder. Fun times fun times.

#Asagiri really sat down and wrote SB like “okay how much more trauma can I give this kid?” and the answer was all of it. #if you're wondering if I'm fine the answer is fuck no I just wrote this #And now you've just read it so I bet we're both wondering why we do this to ourselves #but like Chuuya #he's my baby boy and I love him so much and I could cry forever #bsd #my ramblings #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd chuuya #chuuya #bsd spoilers #chuuya nakahara #stormbringer spoilers #bsd stormbringer #bsd stormbringer spoilers #bsd headcanons #to some extent #chuuya headcanons #but like I wish more of this was just headcanons when so much of it did in fact happen #bsd analysis #kinda #bsd shirase #character analysis #I guess

reading a couple of meta posts about platonic and romantic relationships and just pondering. I think one of the things that makes D&D so popular and contributed to its renaissance is that D&D parties, by their nature, elicit strong platonic relationships.

like there are obviously some exceptions but generally speaking, a D&D party is made of 4-7 people and while a few of them may decide to initiate romances with each other, that still leaves a lot of relationships between the principals to stay platonic. (it's possible to have a D&D party turn into a giant polycule but that's not the only or even the most common outcome.)

in most media, whether it's specifically a genre romance or not, the focus is going to be on the main character, maybe the love interest, maybe the best friend. more minor characters tend to phase in and out of the narrative if they aren't occupying the main character's attention, and any relationships they build with other people will by necessity be out of focus. in D&D all of the party members are the main characters, and they're going to be spending lots of time with the other main characters, and any relationships they build will be center focus.

#the DND:HAT movie follows this pattern too #to some extent #which was how we got Holga and Edgin's absolutely spectacular platonic friendship #because Holga and Edgin are each the main characters of their own stories with their own respective love interests #but the actual main story requires them to be in contact with each other far more than either of them are in contact with their LI #(and the rest of their party members to a lesser extent - but they join the party later so there's less time) #so the main relationship of that story is Holga and Edgin's friendship #not either of their romances

I personally headcanon that Butch embroidered the emblem on the tunnel snakes jackets himself. Mostly because who else was gonna do it? Like the vaults having the programming to make leather jackets makes sense, but the snake? Nah.

And out of everyone he knows, the ones that would embroider don’t like him and the ones that do like him certainly wouldn’t embroider

#like he canonically does enjoy styling hair #to some extent #you can’t tell me that him embroidering a badass looking snake is out of the question #fallout 3 #butch deloria #literally was scraping wikis to see if there was a canon answer #there isn’t #so headcanon theory it is!

DP Ramble: Dan/Dark Danny

Sometimes, it’s just weird to see Dan aka Dark Danny appear in fics sometimes. Not all the time, but sometimes it just strikes me as odd. I’m not saying I don’t like seeing him, I do depending how he’s handled. It’s just how I’ve seen fics just include him as part of the family. They’ll have a throwaway line about him being reformed or redeemed and that’s as much of a justification for him being there as it gets. 

It strikes me as odd because that is a major character change that is getting handwaved. Like, it’s implied there’s character development and growth, but it doesn’t want to include any of it, it just wants to tell you it happened and it feels like a misstep to me because there is sooooo much story to be had there. There’s all sorts of interesting character dynamics and conflicts surrounding that, because Dan is a villain and did terrible things both to the world and Danny, and even if it never happened in this timeline, does that really mean what he did doesn’t matter?

And I get that not everyone wants to tell a story about how Dan got “redeemed” in order to tell their story that includes him, but it always feels like there should be a bit more to it than that. I think if you’re going to write something like that, you as the author should have an idea HOW him being included happened even if you don’t write it because that’s something that can and should really affect how the characters interact

Whether or not Dan can or should be reformed/redeemed is an entirely different conversation, but it’s one of those things that is major enough it feels like it should have some impact. 

What do y’all think? Maybe this is something I’m noticing more in crossovers, maybe I just think it’s happening more than it really is

#Danny Phantom #danny phantom ramble #dp rambles #Dan Phantom #dark danny #maybe I'm crazy #but it feels like there should be more there #and i realize that a lot of this is just people are basing their stuff on fics where he's already had a character arc #so they don't want to write it themselves since in their mind it's already been developed #i guess it's also just the odd game of telephone that happens when writing fanfiction #because you stop writing it based on canon and base your writings on what other people wrote after a while #to some extent #not everybody obviously #but you can see where it happens
