Whenever One Of Them Feels Down The Other Two Take A Day Off And Go To Their Favourite Places And Get

An Amazing Solangelo Metaphor

You know *some* but not all of this if you read my fics...

It began when I headcannon'ed Will Solace as smelling like medicinal herbs. I then stumbled across Echinacea.

Echinacea is a coneflower with a Greek name and usage. It smells like honey and had medicinal properties, like soothing colds <3. AKA it's a lot like Will Solace. Also, bonus, it comes in a yellow variety (little yellow flowers! for Will! When he sings! Flower gleam and glow~) and a white variety called-- no joke-- Fragrant Angel. I kid you not. So they can both be angels.

Also it is literally in THE SUNFLOWER FAMILY, Heliantheae

Therefore, Will Solace smells like Echinacea, which smells like honey. Cute.

And then, seperately, I read about the African Death's-head Hawkmoth, a black-and-yellow moth with a SKULL SHAPE on the thorax. Also, the scientific name is Acherontia atropos, referring of course to the Greek River Acheron, the entrance to the underworld. Atropos refers to the Greek goddess, who is one of the Fates, of course being another symbol for death.

So that's basically Nico di Angelo, right?!

Despite these moths being totally harmless to people (Nico is actually a sweet person with a good heart) the fancied skull pattern has given them a negative reputation, such as associations with the supernatural and evil. (Everyone thinks of Nico as scary and creepy bc he is the son of Hades)

Now, guess what these death's-head hawkmoths primarily eat?

Honey.

And, as a bonus, they also drink the nectar from flowers, primarily Solanaceae (which, yes, has the same word origin as Solace) and sometimes even... Heliantheae. The sunflower family.

TLDR; In another universe, Will Solace is Echinacea and Nico di Angelo is the Acherontia atropos

Or a moth and honey/nectar.

I rest my case.

Chuuya as an airship pilot and Dazai as his untrustworthy engineer

But also Dazai as a watchmaker maybe? I just know that he should invent crazy contraptions like a mad engineer instead of a mad scientist. He whacks his little wrench around fixing and breaking things, and Chuuya has to hold back choice words for him when Dazai fixes one thing, then breaks another. But that's what Chuuya gets for wanting illegal modifications on his ship to use it for sky racing.

Dazai also wearing those rounded aviator goggles on top of his head at all times, and usually has grease or oil smudged on his cheek.

He makes pets out of machines, so he has a mechanical hound at home and has been trying to install an emotion sensor in his dog so it can detect human emotions as well as display its own, but he hasn't been successful yet. His dog has a bowl for oil it drinks from and eats bolts and nuts as its meal.

Heck, just exploring Dazai and creation as a theme in the au. He feels bad destroying his creations when they don't turn out well. He has a little malfunctioning bird with a wing that doesn't work and it often repeats itself because he installed a faulty voice box, but Dazai doesn't have the heart to deactivate and recycle the poor thing for a future project. He feels like he's taking away a life. Existential dread hitting him hard with every creation he makes so he starts going mad

He's normal enough around Chuuya to keep up appearances, but if Chuuya ever came into Dazai's workshop, specifically the attic or basement, he'd get whiplash from the machinery lying around and the cuckoo birds repeating themselves like clockwork. They're talking on the main floor of Dazai's workshop, and every time there's a pause in their conversation, Chuuya hears a distant "Cuckoo…cuckoo…" from down below

Chuuya knocks and hears a dog barking and he's like what the hell and didn't expect Dazai to have a pet robot dog

Chuuya: "Am I hearing things? Is that a broken clock?" Dazai: "It's a failure." Chuuya: "Why don't you take out the battery or something so you don't have to listen to that?" Dazai, looking away and trying not to flinch: "That'll kill it."

Dazai's a bit dramatic about it but as a creator it pains him to ruin the things he makes. The reflection of his inside portrayed in his broken creations because maybe he feels like that about himself.

BUT since Dazai is a creator, him making gifts for Chuuya… watches, maybe a compass for his airship travels. Maybe he can make Chuuya a little bird to match Dazai's. Dazai’s one and only perfect creation is for Chuuya.

Chuuya could be “lost” like in terms of he doesn't know if he wants to remain a airship pilot or if he wants to spend the rest of his life with Dazai. A brass compass also made with precious metals like nickel and bronze.

When gifted it, Chuuya asks how does he know the compass is pointing in the right direction, and Dazai says, "You'll know it in your heart."

dazai who needs glasses for distance, but never wears them.

chuuya who has matching compression gloves with kunikida.

dazai who sets up dates.

kunikida who doesnt quite understand his own issues, but gets that theres something wrong with him.

chuuya and dazai, who really do try and help kunikida find out whats wrong.

no diagnosis is given, not yet, but its a start.

Yes

chuuya's my scruffy cat and i haven't drawn him in a while so here's soukoku being dumb

What if chuuya nakahara has extended life span cuz of arahabaki so he has so see all people he knows slowly age and die.

But then he meets sigma a man that was created by the book, he doesnt have written ability to age like a normal human.

So now they're both together angaist loneliness that comes with loosing loved ones.

(platonic or romantic idc but fic potential)

dazai having an off day and being quieter than usual when suddenly one of kunikidas pens rolls across the desks and bumps into dazai’s hand and transforms into a piece of paper that’s been folded into a heart

can we see your angel of darkness dazai...

i never posted it before bc i don't really like it but ehh whatever!!! it's a shitpost from january anyway

I imidietly imagined Dante with the dad sneeze

Vanitas: For the 100th time, Noè and I are just bestfriends!

Dante: [sneezes]

Dante: Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit.

Today I would like to share with you my list of tags and terms I have filtered on tumblr in an attempt to avoid female reader insert posts.

As posts slipped through the cracks, I added the specific words and phrases used to my lists.

I still encounter fem reader posts DAILY. Sometimes there’s nothing I can add to the filters, because it’s just she/her pronouns. Or the word “girl” which I (for obvious reasons) don’t want to filter from all of tumblr.

You might say, why not just stop reading reader insert? Because it’s a genre I truly like. When I come across a gender neutral or masc reader insert post, I feel happy! I can lose myself in the world and have the characters act as though they’re interacting with me. That immersion breaks when they misgender me. And man, getting misgendered by your comfort character sucks on a whole different level.

Anyway, if you read any part of this post, read this:

Not all readers are female. If you write reader insert, mark the gender of the reader somewhere. Even just saying the word “female” or “fem” even once will be enough for my filter system to catch it.

Sorry for ranting, I’m just really fed up with this. I don’t mind if it’s hard for me to curate my online experience, but it pisses me off when it’s impossible.
