Today I am consumed by one thought and one thought only.

Soukoku switches.

[kyryedb]

On a lighter note I have this hc that skk start getting back together after the Guild thing (it's a process) and the first couple-y thing that they do outside of fucking (and aside from being incredibly obvious in battle) is sit together in the dark in Chuuya's fancy-ass apartment having quiet breakfasts together.

Dazai's sitting on the floor, sipping at some coffee and leaning into Chuuya's leg. Chuuya in on the couch, he has a hand in Dazai's hair and sometimes feeds him little bites of whatever he's eating. They don’t even really talk, just kinda settle into that terrible knowledge of : 'Oh, he's here/I'm here/We're here, and it's looking like we'll still be here even if I close my eyes and let go of the load for a bit.'

Also sometimes they watch dumb foreign soaps together while they do this later on. Chuuya mistranslates the french ones and Dazai starts creating weird scenarios for the latin american ones.

[kyryedb]

A dynamic that I find myself gravitating (heh) to a lot later is smitten!Dazai and a Chuuya with trust issues the size of the moon.

But like, they're both still huge assholes.

Like Dazai will absolutely moon over Chuuya in his head and then somehow go on to show it by nearly giving him an aneurysm durning an ADA/PM meeting.

And Chuuya knows but he is not having it.

I do like my canon Chuuya having had feelings for Dazai, honestly. Having known it and having done his due morning when Dazai left and Chuuya (rightfully so) figured he mjght as well get over in and go on with his life however much it hurt.

Because we know he wouldn’t wallow, that'd be giving the stupid Mackerel too much satisfaction. And now, in present time, he'd be ice-cold when anything's so much as mentioned about that. A sore spot if you will.

So they do dance about eachother like that, like two cactuses playing MMA.Chuuya makes it evident that ofc he doens’t care anymore, he doesn’t even really hate Dazai for that, but more for betraying the mafia blablabla.

But then when shit goes down...

(This is actully sounding like just canon skk 🤣)

But anyways, when shit goes down Dazai loses the assholery, even halfway (touches Chuuya's hair unbidden, lets something that's on the right side of sour slip when Chuuya is hurt) and it nearly sends Chuuya running for the hills.

Because he's supposed to have healed from this, godammit, but now the scar from it is itching.

And ykno, he needs to correct course, it never ends well...

I may or may not be writing a timeloop soukoku.

With like extra pain.

[kyryedb]

I'm writing smth where I hurt these two a lot. So here's a lil sweet doodle

Thoughts on the take that some people think Naruto and Sasuke are toxic and that they are codependent on each other and are just obsessed with one another. Personally, I enjoy both their intense connection and their healthier moments, but I also find the notion that their love can become so overwhelming and possessive that it becomes unhealthy. I know you been busy and haven’t had time to write, but have you ever considered exploring that perspective in your writing?

sasunaru's toxic codependency is the most appealing thing about them lol. the thing about fiction is that taking things to their extremes makes for a much more impactful story. Sasuke and Naruto are fully willing to die for and with each other literally since land of waves. sasuke's body moves on its own, because protecting Naruto is literally written into the code of his character, which in turn gives Naruto the same desire to do the same for him in turn.

people who take these fictitious extremes and equate them to real life morals are not only boring as fuck, but completely lack media literacy. the point of stories since the dawn of time is to make us feel emotions. you can have a character say that they would do anything for their loved one until the paper of the book tears from the ink, but Naruto physically gives his actual right arm to the cause of making sure Sasuke has someone who loves him in his life. the gore exaggerates the meaning of Naruto's words so we the audience can feel how endlessly he loves Sasuke as if we were in his body. we know the love is unconditional because of the extremes.

putting our society's morals onto fictional characters defeats the entire purpose of creating fictional characters to begin with

dazai be saying "im not into hugging men" then he does this shit with chuuya

[kyryedb]

Set out to doodle a bit and ended up with a messy Chuuya

[kyryedb]

Snow white and her prince

[kyryedb]

“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

[kyryedb]

Reaching the end of the line together only to realize you wanted it to go on forever

OR

The prelude to Osamu Dazai Groundhog day-ing the world to save Chuuya (who sometimes helps and sometimes doesn’t).

This idea keeps rolling around my head 🥲 I do happen to be an angst whore so sorry.

(Sorry for my godawful handwriting)

ichiruki is what bakudeku, narusasuke, itafushi, killugon and every single other shounen mc x his bsf is to their own respective fandoms.

it isnt canon and never will be, however it will alwaysalwaysalways outdo what is canon. the characters yearning leaks off the screen and into the watchers minds, and it is so captivating.

no where else will you find someone who is so willing to give up their life for another person. especially in the situations shounen mcs face.

it's love. they are in love, your honor.

[kyryedb]

Mersault bbs in my style. There may be a lil fic in the works.

Dazai is very loved, he is also very infuriating. Both can coexist.

Now imagine everyone already *assumed* they were mated 🤣 like ykno with the scent blockers and stuff and Dazai mostly covering his throat anyways.

The omegaverse soukoku brainrot has consumed me, so here's some more stuff about that. Specifically, mating bites since @kyryedb commented and got me thinking about it.

Chuuya was the was who brought the topic of mating bites up first when they were had settled down into this weird they have, and Dazai immediately booked it out the door and didn't talk to him for a week. They eventually get back to speaking terms, but Chuuya definitely doesn't bring it up again after how badly Dazai had freaked out last time. However, Dazai gets to thinking about it.

He's always had a love-hate thing going on with mating bites as he does with all of his omega traits. He's always secretly longed to have one, the physical embodiment that would show that he's something to be desired with permanence. A mating bite would be the ultimate proof that he hasn't lost everything that would make him a "good omega," that he's still worthy of someone's love and devotion, so much so that they're willing to permanently mark him and let everyone else see their love for him.

On the other hand, it would make him feel trapped. What if the alpha he ends up mating with becomes abusive or ends up worse than he thought? You can't undo a mating bite. Worse, he would have a harder time resisting their commands due to the nature of the bite. He can't afford to give up on that kind of control. Plus, he doesn't need a stupid mark on his neck to be considered a whole person, despite what some bigots might say. He's Dazai Osamu, dammit.

But after a while... the thought of having Chuuya's bite on his neck doesn't sound so bad. The longer Dazai thinks about it, the more accustomed to it becomes. He weighs the pros and cons, and... actually finds himself longing for it more than he dreads it. So he tries to seduce Chuuya into doing it because why the hell would he do something reasonable, like asking for the things he wants. Preposterous. (He's getting better at it, I promise. It's just a slow process).

He tries wearing shirts that are loose around the neckline that shows off his neck, which are bare from their bandages for once (gasp! So scandalous!). He tries wearing perfume that is marketed as irresistible to alphas since his own scent is so unnoticable due to his overuse of blockers and suppressants. He tries building his nest on Chuuya's bed instead of his usual hiding spots. He tries acting like what he thinks an omega should, but it does little more than irritate Chuuya, who has know clue what's going on because of course he doesn't. You never told him anything, Dazai! He can't actually read your mind!

Chuuya's lack of reaction, or worse, annoyance, discourages Dazai, and like the miscommunication king that he is, assumes that this means that Chuuya doesn't and could never want him as a mate. That is until said redhead confronts the omega and asks just what the hell is going on. Dazai breaks down and tells him everything, woefully mourning the fact that Chuuya would NEVER want him like he wants Chuuya.

Chuuya's just like: are you fucking kidding me? Of course you pull this shit. For a genius, you really are stupid. If you wanted to be mates, you could've just asked. I thought you hated the idea with how you ran off last time which is why I didn't bring it up!

As I've said, Chuuya wants to protect those he cares about, almost to the point of being overbearing if he's not kept in check. Throughout their partnership, he's thought about the idea of being mates with Dazai a lot. He desires to be the one that can help Dazai cut through the difficult shit in his troubled mind and offer him some sense of comfort. He really likes the idea, but since how horribly it went over the first time, there's no way he's bringing that up again. Hearing that Dazai went through all of these hoops to try and get him to bite him instead of just talking to him about it is incredibly frustrating. Not to say that Chuuya is the master of communication. He continuously puts the needs of others before his own. They're both idiots (affectionate).

Finally, though, they manage to figure things out and give each other that much-longed for mating bite, matching marks of the love and devotion they have for each other. A promise to always care for the other, even when things get tough. Like when Chuuya steals all of the blankets like the thieving little slug that he is! Why does he need so many blankets when he's so tiny and already hot enough to put a space heater to shame? Truly the worst alpha ever! Neglect! Abuse!

Please all of these headcanons are just delightful. I can totally imagone Chuuya being like:

"I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO MATE YOU FOR FIVE WHOLE YEARS YOU DAMN MACKEREL. TF DO YOU MEAN I DONT—" *kisses him hard while they bth get a little misty eyed*
