Yes
chuuya's my scruffy cat and i haven't drawn him in a while so here's soukoku being dumb
I LOVE EVERY 15 SKK POST
Please someone get them out of my head
Where do i find a relationship with that???!
ADHD x Autism
I'm so obsessed with their 15 version gindkhdgj--
HOLY OMG
Rest of the comic is under the cut, because LONG :0
Also! Content warnings for body horror, guns, blood(although in black and white) and just...horror in general tbh
Operation "Fall of the Hooded Hawk": For situations where one half of skk has to shoot without having clear vision, and relies on the direction of their partner. In this case, Chuuya was giving Dazai coordinates of where to fire by tapping against his ear. (It's kind of like a trust fall)
I scripted a whole followup conversation with more explanation of what exactly the mirror was, and just general context, but this comic has gotten so long that I'm gonna write that as a short scene in prose, because it's mostly dialogue and if I try to draw it all then I think my hands will secede from my body lol — I'll probably be able to get that done in the next couple of days. But in the meantime, thanks for reading! :D
"not another song about love" sounds like soukoku.
Change my mind.
And then it would be chuuya and dazai that try to assure kunikida that he doesnt need to save everyone. That he didnt fail his ideals.
no but do you understand. kunikida being the one person who sees both dazai and chuuya as irrevocably human. dazai and chuuya each see the other as human but don't have the same faith in themselves. but kunikida. kunikida getting close with both of them, and finding the humanity in both of them. everyone else is so far away, so far below, everyone else sees the untouchable Double Black. everyone else sees the wake of their destruction, the craters left by chuuya's ability, the meticulous plans set up and executed by dazai, the infallible partnership that could level city blocks and take out entire organizations. everyone else sees them as gods, and dazai and chuuya see themselves as monsters, but kunikida--
kunikida sees them after the comedown. he sees dazai on his bad days, when he can't even drag himself out of bed, when it's more painful to hold himself back from jumping in the river than just letting the water fill his lungs. he sees chuuya post-corruption when everything hurts and dazai's touch is the only relief and he's vulnerable and willing to ask for help instead of just taking whatever it is he needs. he's seen them laugh at stupid jokes (both each other's and his own), he's seen them throw popcorn at each other during movie nights, he's seen them during the quiet moments when there's no performance, when they can just relax. he's seen chuuya without the hat and gloves, and he's seen dazai without the bandages. he's seen their pasts laid out on their skin in every scar. he's heard some of the stories and inferred others. he's seen them as Double Black too, of course - he saw the destruction caused after the dead apple incident and he's seen the darkness that lingers in dazai's eyes and he's seen chuuya come home with blood on his clothes and a grim expression on his face. but he's also seen chuuya half-asleep wearing a shirt that's too big for him and he's seen dazai light up at something as simple as kunikida making an extra cup of tea for him. he's seen the destruction caused in their wake, but he's also felt their hands on his skin, gentle, holding him like he's something precious. he's seen beneath the surface, and knows that they are neither gods nor monsters; they are just two humans who have never been told that is all they ever need to be.
THIS IS SO SWEET OMFG I LOVE ATSUSHI SMM
touch starved atsushi who doesn't know how to ask for affection but has learned the following:
if he falls asleep on his desk near the end of his shift, kunikida will carry him back to his dorm (so now he pretends to fall asleep at least twice every week)
if he accidentally loses control of his ability, dazai will ruffle his hair to nullify it (so he starts controlling it enough to "accidentally" bring out random tiger features)
if he gets even a small bruise and yosano knows, she'll check it out and then pat his back after bandaging it (so he becomes more clumsy)
if he sits a little close to naomi during long boring meetings, she'll rest her head against his shoulder (so he makes sure to "accidentally" end up between her and juni or on her other side every time)
if he accidentally runs into president fukuzawa, the president will steady him by placing a hand on his shoulder (so he makes sure to almost bump into him at least once a week)
if he and kyouka are walking around in busy streets, kyouka will hold on to his wrist or hand or something to make sure that they dont go separated (so he gains an interest in all crowded shopping areas)
if he gives kenji a gift, kenji will thank him with a hug (kenji is very confused but pleased by his growing collection of random knick knacks given to him by atsushi)
if he says something funny, junichiro will chuckle and bump their shoulders (so he starts trying to be purposefully funny)
weirdly enough though... ranpo doesn't have a pattern but still he pops up awkwardly next to atsushi and bumps their shoulders or pats his back or something similar even though he isn't usually touchy... hmmm....
Byakko looks so fluffy and soft
i wanna bury my face in her fur
@j11nko congrats on 2k followers!!! <3
this was a really fun piece to draw, i don't draw animals very often so i hope the tiger isn't too bad! 🐯
I don't know if anyone talked about it yet but
This randomly popped into my head
I imagine he was cutting his hair when suddenly he got called in for an emergency mission and then later he either forgot to finish cutting it or just didnt care enough
Or dazai cut his hair as a prank and chuuya kept it that way to spite him wigh intention to change it later but he got used to that haircut and kept it that way
Chuuya definitely cut his own hair and this isn’t just me protecting I promise…
First time i heard about this and OMGG
I bet Hug dazai day is like a holiday in the agency
Okay so we all have this idea that abilities are born from trauma or desire, right? They're incredibly powerful emotions and manifestation in the form of a skill, a weapon. In dead apple it's also briefly mentioned that the dragon is born from the abilities. In other words, that destructive mindless dragon was born from those emotions.
This leads me to think that these abilities must have some sort of physical and mental effect on the skill users. The mental effect is evident throughout the story, especially from Atsushi's pov but physical effect too. A lingering tiredness, like invisible weights on your shoulders.
So what must Dazai's touch feel like to these people? No Longer Human doesn't only nullifies the ability, it temporarily takes it away from the user, along with the exhaustion.
It must feel amazing, alleviating to come in contact with it for skill users.
Now imagine hugging Dazai. Imagine ADA having a hug Dazai day.
Hugging Dazai feels like every ounce of tension leaving your bones. It's nice, it's stress relieving. It's so soothing you could fall asleep in his arms (Kenji does every time and Atsushi starts dozing off in ten seconds). Even Ranpo loves hug Dazai day. Kunikida always lingers on for an extra minute when he gets to hug Dazai. Yosano thinks they should have hug Dazai day every day.
Imagine being Chuuya who gets to hug Dazai to sleep every night. He'll never admit it but he LOVES being the little spoon. Falling asleep in Dazai's arms feels therapeutic. He always wakes up the next morning feeling like he could conquer the world.
I've also read somewhere on twitter that asgr came up with nlh as an ability that ruins everything for Dazai and I just want to think that sometimes when he accidentally nullifies someone's ability and tries to apologize for it, the person immediately goes no that was wonderful tf do it again.
So yeah basically everyone loves Dazai and his ability.
I LIVE FOR THIS OMGGG
Can y'all leave me alone for TEN SECONDS (x) (x)
Wait-
If kajii and orphanage director both have similar haircut, does that mean that atsushi could've thought at some point that they're the same person?
I mean... They do look similar...
Ranpoe's valentines💗
14.02(valentines day)
Edgar had already finished his classes for the day. He was now going back there to pick up Ranpo and do random stuff since there wasn't any plan for it. The young writer arrived at the school and waited for the other to finish last class.
After standing there for a bit he saw his shorter friend leaving through the door. Edgar waved and Ranpo responded with same.
-Hey ed!
-Hello Ranpo
-Where are we going? I'm hungry.
-Maybe we can go to the store behind school. I wanted to buy some flowers too.
-Alright, let's go!
They left through the gate and made their way to the shop. After few minutes of walking and talking they arrived at the store. They entered and imidietly saw the flower stand and walked over to it.
-Ranpo look, they have my favorite flowers- Edgar said as he pointed at a bouquet yellow tulips.
-Oh cool! But why did you wanted to buy flowers anyway?
-oh! I wanted to put them on the living and give them to my mom.
-Mhm. Let's go get food now.
They strolled into an aile with baked goods and started looking around.
-Hey ed! How about we get some donuts? Look at the pink ones, they have heart sprinkles on top! Let's get those.
-Okay let me get a bag- He walked away for a few seconds and came back with a paper bag- How many are we taking?
-hmm... 4! 2 for you and 2 for me. I just need to count if I have enough money.
-I can pay for them. Dont worry.
-Realy? Thank youu- Ranpo smiled widely
They took donuts and flowers and made their way to the cashier. After paying they left the shop.
-Where are we going now?-Ranpo asked
-We can go sit at the rocks over there.
-Good idea:)
They sat on the rocks. Edgar put the flowers on the ground next to their bags. Ranpo handed Edgar one of the donuts and started eating his own.
-Mhm! They're realy good.
-I know I tried them before- Ranpo said.
Ed looked at the flowers.
-hm. I have an idea.
He tried grabbing the bouquet without getting up and after some struggling he made it. He pulled out on of the tulips and handed it to the other male.
-There you go. For you- Ed said with a smile.
-Thank you- He took the flower from his hand.
-How about we take some photos? We can share them in the group chat later.
-Sure.
-Oh no, my phone died.
-We can use my phone- He gave Poe his phone.
-Alright
They posed for the pic with donuts and flowers. Ranpo tried to cover his face with his hair but failed while Ed's face for once was visible.
-I look like on crack- Edgar commented after seeing his face in the photo. Ranpo took his phone back to send the pictures.
-Are we still sending them on the chat?
-Yep-Ranpo quickly opened the chat- What are we typing?
-Maybe something like ' Platonic date with..' and then you'll tag me?
-Mhm- Ranpo wrote it down- Is it correct?
-Yep.
-Okay.
Few minutes later one person replied_the others were propably busy_
>Omg, You both look so pretty. (to reader: pick any character)
<Thank you♡.-They both replied from Ranpo's account.
Ran already finished second donut and have the bag with the last one to Poe
-Thanks, I'll finish it later.
-Yeah, let's go now. Its cold.
They gathered their stuff making sure they hadn't left any litter behind.
-Do you have everything?... Let's go- Edgar turned to start walking but left a tug on his sleve he looked into the dirention of his 'friend' he felt lips press again his cheek.
-Thank you for donuts and flower and the whole time.
-Y-you're welcome- Edgar said with a slitly red face.-L-let's go now.
They spent the rest of their way home on talking about anything
-Do you want to walk me home?-Ranpo asked when they walked up to the place they would've parted ways.
-Sure. Lead the way.
Few minutes of walking they were at Ranpo's door step as always there were cats around and Ran imidietly went to pet them.
-Alright. I'll be going. I have some stuff to do.
-Okay! Bye bye.
-Bye, I'll try not to get lost-Ed said as he vanished behind the corner. (he isn't in that part of the city often)
His way home was calm he listened to some music on headphones and finished his donut. He got home safely and after that day had more outings like that and made the rocks their official meeting spot.
The end
Fic also on ao3: carrotwall
Nikolai after fyodor's death gives me such "in my room" by icp vibes
I need to write a fic like that
I need a fic or c.ai bot like that
I think the main part of my Chuuya overworks himself and is a chronic people pleaser headcanon comes from the fact actual Nakahara Chuuya's poem 'The Village Clock' is imprinted on my brain.
'The big village clock was working day and night. The clockface's paint had already lost it's shine. When I drew near, there were lots of tiny cracks.'
Not the full poem, but the lines that really stick for me. This is just Chuuya to me. Keeping going, keeping working, not smiling as much as he used to. Keeping up appearances. Keeping even his friends at a distance so they don't see he's not as happy as he used to be.
I agree in the latest chapters Chuuya looks tired as hell, but his eyes have always read as tired to me. He's always looked like he needed a nap (It took a moment to find a mostly neutral expression in his introduction because, well, the Dazai effect). The straight across upper eyelids and the rounded lower eyelids just scream "I'm too tired for this" to me
It's quotes from the Mayoi 'Joyous night' cards.
Kouyou: "Chuuya are you saying you can't have what I'm drinking? There's no need to worry so long as you drink in moderation. Surely you can afford a glass at a banquet." Chuuya: "What are you drinking Ane-san? Wine, is it? Interesting... No, I couldn't. I'm you're escort. If something were to happen while I was drunk, well... *sigh* Alright, maybe just a glass. This is a banquet, after all."
Like, yes, I'm fairly certain these are in reference to Chuuya being a lightweight and not wanting to get drunk at a fancy party. But it's also Chuuya not allowing himself to have fun. Kouyou realistically doesn't need escort, Chuuya was likely asked along because she enjoys his company.
It's wine. He collects wine and he won't even allow himself to indulge in his own interests because he's too busy unnecessarily worrying about Kouyou and how people will perceive him at the banquet.
It's the fact despite there being several high ranking mafia members introduced by the time of the three way conflict, Mori always uses Chuuya for his plans. There's really no need for an executive to be the one to check up on the hired assassins, or deliver information to the ADA.
Chuuya even remarks upon it himself, saying he didn't think himself fit for the role of envoy. But he does it because the boss ordered him to. He won't say no.
I don't think Chuuya is the same type of overworker Kunikida is. Kunikida has to have everything done right, he needs it done on time. He has a set of meticulous rules and practices to ensure it gets done correctly.
I doubt Chuuya is the type to be worried over his reports being perfect or "in on time" because he's part of the mafia. This isn't a day job. Sure, there probably deadlines where stuff is time sensitive, but again, Chuuya is an executive. He can delegate such work to subordinates if needs be. I definitely don't think he's above coasting his work and putting in minimum effort as long as the job gets done.
I think Chuuya is an over worker in the sense, that even if he's exhausted, even if he wants to go home and collapse, if Mori handed him another job, he'd do it. He has a hard time saying no to people and it carries over into his work.
And he has difficulty shutting off work mode once he's home. "Might as well sort those emails while I have some spare time" Turns into Chuuya unable to sleep hours later because he lost track of time, drank too much caffeine and has a migraine from staring at a screen for so long.
As for being a chronic people pleaser? Well, we mostly see that in Wan or the anthologies. As I've already stated, Chuuya has a hard time saying no to people close to him. It's important that it's not everyone. If he doesn't know them, he can and will tell them to beat it, if he wants to.
But show him a little of bit kindness? An ounce of respect? Be nice to him for a moment and the people pleasing button gets pressed. He goes about it in a round about way, he can't have you know that's what he's doing so Chuuya makes up excuses as to why he's doing it, but he does it all the same.
We see it when he buys Kenji dinner, or makes everyone shaved ice and plenty of other examples. He has to go above and beyond. He wants you to be impressed because he wants the praise, but he can't have you know that's what he wants.
The only person he doesn't do this with is Dazai. And that's probably to do with how they met at 15 (also because Dazai annoys the hell out of him). They met when Chuuya's people pleasing was at its worst, when he was King of Sheep and had next to no will of his own because Chuuya was too afraid of losing the Sheep to not do as they say. Dazai breaks him out of that.
For all they make the bet that Chuuya's his dog, aside from the odd joke, Dazai is never seen making good on that. He never orders Chuuya around like a dog, they are partners and he treats him as such. When Dazai witnesses Chuuya being treated this way by the sheep, he looks annoyed, he doesn't like seeing it. Chuuya being his dog was always just a silly joke.
Dazai being so annoying that Chuuya couldn't stand to do what he said helped Chuuya break out of some of his people pleasing habits and learn saying no was okay. After Dazai defected, I think those habits came back as Chuuya had to fill the role of Mori's right hand in his absence.
