#(Lol Mafia Dazai was the reason I was hesitant on making this blog!! I’m still not sure if I can fully pull it off lol)

[nolongerbeneaththemoonlight-a]

@diverse-hearts liked for a starter~!!

The Lupin wasn’t Dazai’s favorite bar because of how discreet and quiet it was, while those were two large reasons. No, he frequented this bar because it was the one that he would visit with his drinking buddies, Ango and Oda, the latter being his closest friend. 

This is why he was there tonight, for he had a feeling that Oda may stop by the bar as well. And when the mafia executive heard steps descending along the stairs leading into the bar, a rare smile found its way on his face.

“Odasaku! I had a feeling you’d be here. It’s been a while, what have you been up to?” The events of Oda’s life always fascinated the younger of the two, and if he was being honest with himself, he really didn’t care about anyone’s daily life but Odasaku’s.

The Kingdoms Law

Hello everyone!! Welcome to my blog which is centered around My Hero Academia, Haikyuu and Bungou Stray Dogs. I may add more anime soon and I'll update the rules whenever I do so.

Now, lets go over my rules for requesting for all the fandoms I write for.

NSFW?

I won't do explicit NSFW. AKA full on smut. What I will do is "suggestive" content. Flirting, making out, etc. I'm sure you catch my drift.

How many characters will you do for one headcanon?

My limit is 5. 6 if they're short and I'm feeling generous or I just feel like another character that went unnamed would fit the prompt (I may do this with HC's less than 5 characters listed)

Do you take one-shot requests? What about songfics?

Yes and yes!

Angst and crackfic?

Mhm, both are on the table.

What are characters you won't write for?

I don't read the manga for the anime I watch and write for (because... Reasons. I'll start reading them soon but for now don't judge me) So I won't be any characters that were only introduced in the manga!!

AUs you won't do?

AU wise the only thing I won't do is Omegaverse because I simply don't understand how that one works, and knowing that Omegaverse is mostly used for smut, it doesn't strike me as something worth taking my own time to understand.

Will you work with things that could be seen as triggers?

I won't do prompts centered around self harm, suicide, non-con, p*dophilia, inc*st. For those last 3 see my rule about the fact I don't write smut.

Will you write prompts that center around neurodivergency/mental health.

I'd be more than happy to, as someone who is neuro-divergent. Uncommon illnesses are also on the table because I would love to educate myself more of the topic. I'll also write for physical illnesses to, I don't care if they're "oddly specific"

Will you work for my OCs?

This is a reader insert centric blog, but I would love to hear about your OCs! My ask box is always open to OC talk

Character x Character?

This is a reader insert centric blog, but I wouldn't mind hearing about your ships, otps, etc.

What gender POVs will you write for?

I work most comfortably with gender neutral and female PoVs. If the gender of the reader goes unspecified I'll do Gender Neutral to stay inclusive and all that! My blog is a safe space for everyone!

POC!Reader x Character?

YES YES YES YES YES. I am a person of color, I will definitely write for that kinda thing!! I can capture a hispanic and a black reader's point of view most easily.

You write for girl characters?

Yeah, I'm bisexual so its not hard at all for me to write for any female character lol.

General request rules?

Don't be an asshole, specify if you want something to be a oneshot of Headcanon. If you have requested something I've said was against my rules I have full liberty to deny said request.

How can I check if your requests are open or not?

My bio and I always make a post when I close my requests, and at the end of this rules page it'll specify whether requests are open or not.

You're requests are closed but I just want to say something nice or ask you a question in your ask box, is that okay?

Of course, my ask box isn't just for requests. Send whatever you want in there.

You do matchups?

I used to and I've gotten good at them, but I realized doing those don't bring me that much happiness. I do those on rare occassions now. Milestone specials and the sort.

Will you do prompts like the reader is chubby or has big glasses, etc.

Yes. I will do prompts where the reader's appearance is the prompt.

Rules for requesting Haikyuu

What teams won't you do?

All of the teams are on the table! There are very few characters/teams I feel uncomfortable with, so feel free to send in a request for anyone!

I don't have any specific character in mind for my request prompt. Can you still do it?

Only if your request is a headcanon and if you don't specify any characters I'll go with my favorites which currently are: Sugawara, Oikawa, Asahi, Tsukki. Possibly Kenma and a few others.

Info I should have in mind before requesting

I know I say I don't read manga but I do know what all the boys do as jobs and such post timeskip, so its okay to request that.

Rules for requesting My Hero Academia

I don't have a specific character in mind. Is that alright?

I'll still take the prompt as long as its a headcanon. When I take it I'll probably just go with the main UA boys. Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto and if I feel like going the extra mile I'll also add Denki, Kirishima and Tenya.

I have a quirk specific ask in mind. Will you do it?

Yeah

Students you won't write for?

Mineta and the extra boys in 1A who get one line a season and names whom I currently can't even remember, plus those who have only been introduced in the manga. I can write for Shinsou though.

Pro heroes?

I won't write for gang orca, Mirko (I'm sorry), Endeavor (The guy makes me uncomfy as hell lmao) The ones I can write for best are the ones who are teachers at 1A

Villains?

I think the only villains whom are off the table is Chisaki and Gentle Criminal. Anyone who is in the LoV is fine.

Info I should have in mind when requesting?

I don't particularly enjoy writing for villains. I can get only a handful of there personalities right for writing with them.

Rules for requesting Bungou Stray Dogs

You said earlier you won't do anything pertaining suicide and self harm, but that's like.. Dazai's biggest personality trait.

Anything pertaining to Dazai is the only exception to this rule.

Characters you won't do?

I won't write for Kenji because he's a literal child, same goes for Kyouka (Unless its a platonic request). I won't write for Fyodor because I don't really understand his character all that well. Fukuzawa for the same reason as Fyodor. Any character who has only been introduced in the manga (I'm catching up on it though!!)

I don't really have any characters in mind for my request. Can I still send it?

Yup! And I'll probably go with my favorite characters who are: Dazai, Chuuya, Ranpo and Atsushi.

Port Mafia?

Mostly everyone in the P.M if I can get a good grasp of their personality.

I have an ability specific request in mind, will you take it?

Yup!

Info I should have in mind before requesting

I love these characters more than life itself. If you give me BSD asks I wouldn't hesitate to marry you.

Well, those are my requesting rules, please follow them.

REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!

[bi-dazai]

ok my bsd predictions for major plot points in the future

1.

If dazai were to be killed off in bsd, chuuya would probably be killed with him in a final act of coded symbiosis.

Tbh tho that's such a major thing that it probably wouldn't happen until when the manga is finishing up so

2.

Chuuya will either become the PM Boss or he'll join the ADA.

So chuuya is strongly suggested in two ways for his future which is HM INTERESTING. So the way that Mori clearly recruits him not just for his ability but for his leadership skills, plus the how chuuya has been developing those skills, is something I was thinking about a lot in S3. Mori is very clearly not happy with Dazai being the heir, even though he was the best choice. Dazai would have probably killed Mori and taken his place by the time he was 20 if odasaku hadn't died. Chuuya has loyalty to the mafia plus the fighting and leadership abilities. He's also got a certain obedience and controllability that if Mori was to step aside and not die he would like. Also something ppl forget is that chuuya is actually good at negotiation and staying calm under pressure, it's suggested that dazai particularly triggers his anger because dazai is an annoying shit who seems to be in canon attached to him whenever they're in the same room.

HOWEVER. Now I don't think I've ever said this on this blog despite me constantly thinking about it but Fukuzawa's ability is the perfect thing for Chuuya, as it has the possibility of actually reigning in corruption. If chuuya joined the ADA he would actually be able to use corruption's ability of throwing black holes without losing control of himself. Arguably that would also get rid of the need for dazai's intervention although it's been established that skk were thought of as a perfect fighting duo for a year before corruption even first manifested in a fight, so I don't think this would kill skk. And chuuya joining the ADA would mean that he and dazai have to interact on the daily. It also means that the mafia is left without any clear heir. People have vouched for kouyou in this situation but I think it's clear that kouyou is being forced to be in the mafia, she's given up on leaving and doesn't want to be there actively.

I don't think the second outcome is very possible plotwise for a few reasons. These are all totally writer's arguments so appeals to logic and plot aren't exactly going to work here, but as a writer myself these are the planning issues that stick out extremely badly if we get chuuya to defect:

- it would have to take something extremely major to get chuuya to leave the loyalty of the mafia

- chuuya becomes even more OP. asagiri kafka has said that though he really likes chuuya (as evidenced by the amount of goddamn times chuuya comes up in the novels), he avoids putting him in the manga because chuuya is extremely overpowered. If he and dazai were logically paired together for each issue every arc would be solved far too quickly for things like character development, or like...story...to take place. This is why chuuya is constantly sidelined. You have to actively make it so that chuuya isn't on people's minds constantly, or get him out of the picture immediately, so that your narrative can actually develop. Chuuya is honestly a mistake in a writing sense. But he's a strong character and he and dazai were written in tandem to each other so he's absolutely unremovable. A character like chuuya NEEDS to exist. So the way chuuya has been toned down is Corruption. Chuuya's ability by itself is just...incredibly powerful. He's virtually indestructible. However Corruption, the ultimate form, is shown to actively kill chuuya. The only times we've seen corruption used is cthulu, shibusawa, and shibusawa big dragon, all extreme threats. So chuuya's life when he's pulled out as the deus ex machina is tied to dazai. This makes chuuya's unchecked OP a little less unchecked and a little less OP. Chuuya is actually a fantastic example of why you CAN have OP characters, you just have to write them a certain way.

However in writing them a certain way, the most stupid thing you could do for your narratives would be to bring corruption under control, and to bring chuuya into the group of protagonists. you have to find excuses in every problem to why chuuya can't just come out and handle this himself, like you were before but now dazai's absence isn't an issue PLUS your readers are paying more attention to chuuya because he's around all the time.

So yeah, chuuya being in the ADA would be a bad choice narrative wise unless it was for like...one arc or smth. Chuuya becoming the next boss of the port mafia is wayyyyy more likely to me. I don't think chuuya would like it but he's really the most obvious choice

3.

Dostoyevsky/rat arc is going to be mega arc/s.

one of the exciting things abt this series is that I have no idea how long this conflict with the rats will go on for. At first I thought it would be an occasional and ongoing plotline that is explored not as one big set arc but interspersed with other non-rat arcs. However by the way it's going it looks like we have two options, either 1) the rat issue is being dealt with across one mega-arc or 2) rat issues will still be dealt with like I thought, interspersed, but each time they pop up it will be a mega-arc like it has been so far. I genuinely don't know how this will be resolved, and I'm actually kind of wondering if the characters will finally leave kanagawa prefecture and maybe head to Russia to defeat the rats. I think this could be a good start to travelling the characters to settings outside yokohama.

4.

Agatha Christie is going to be matched up to Ranpo.

Like Dostoyevsky is dazai's foil because their works IRL were similar in tone, Agatha Christie and Ranpo match up in that way perfectly. We've already met the trick foil (we thought he would be, but he wasn't) for Ranpo in Poe (IRL Poe actually did write mystery at times, and his works do contain elements of suspense and unknown). Ranpo is clearly going through hell in this arc which makes me feel like he's going to start being a much more major character in the future.

Agatha Christie and Edogawa Ranpo's works both fit in the mystery genre and were both alive irl around the same time. They both played historic roles in developing the mystery genre of their language's literature and are pretty well-known in non-literature circles because mystery often has a pulp, mass-consumable aspect to it. It was actually surprising to me that they were made into characters considering the other characters are named after authors of much "higher grade" Literature, as in Literature capital L. Mystery authors especially like Agatha Christie don't fit that bill, but they've played a central role in developing the fiction industry so I don't find it odd. Plus there's a bit of a debate what counts as Literature and every person has different opinions. Mine differs to asagiri kafka's which evidently seems to be that if the author has had a significant impact on the literary field then their works become Literature, thus they become 文豪 (Literary masters), thus they become a bsd character. I think that's fair, even if it isn't what I would personally say Literature is. This is par for the course tho lol, p sure any person who is into Literature will have a different thing to say about what gets that capital L.

But yeah, I think Ranpo and Christie are clearly going to be each others foils.

5.

Christie is going to be cold. Like. COLD.

Dostoyevsky is more obvious evil, it shows on the surface. But Christie will have a polite veneer, a charm to her. We've seen her in a shot, and she sits tall, she enjoys tea, she dresses expensively and lives in colourful rooms. But she had no hesitation to destroy Yokohama if a situation wasn't dealt with within half an hour in the cruelest way possible. Christie was actively ready to incinerate Yokohama alive, that was her first instinct when contacted for help. Christie very clearly has a lack of care for the lives of others, OR she wants to destroy Yokohama in particular. However considering this is the goal of Dostoyevsky and Christie will probably be the next major villain after Dostoyevsky, repeating that goal and motivation is pretty boring and not very bungou stray dogs.

6.

The order of the clock tower will not come to yokohama first.

The Guild were the ones to come to yokohama and threaten it up close. The order of the clock tower was a major threat to yokohama from across the continent. That's terrifying. The ADA/Mafia will have to work proactively

7.

The end of the clock tower will have major repercussions.

The order of the clock tower seems to have its claws in everything and has a tight maintenance of leadership and control over almost every gifted organisation we've met. The Order seems to literally keep order. But they've clearly got a goal with sending the guild and the rats after the book. If the order is destroyed then certain aspects of gifted society slip loose and create new problems. This will probably be the creator of an arc or two after the order arc is over.

8.

Chuuya's backstory is linked to Dazai's.

Chuuya was used by the military and experimented on until he could contain a god of destruction, after which he went haywire, blasted a huge crater in yokohama, and became a feral child.

Dazai was...we don't know. The furthest back we can tell is that some time in his early teens he was taken in by Mori. Before that he was apparently wandering around trying to find some kind of emotion, something to make him feel. He eventually found that with the violence and adrenaline rush of the mafia.

Now I don't think that dazai is a psychopath. It's easy to say he is with the way he seems to talk about the hole in his heart and the absence and emptiness. However dazai very very clearly cares. He cares about odasaku, he cares about atsushi, he cares about the ADA, and he even cares about chuuya (this is not my shipper brain talking, I am literally talking about canon). Dazai very clearly CARES. He isn't a psychopath.

My belief is that dazai is the most clear argument for my case that the series is about mental illness and self worth. Dazai very clearly has a major depressive disorder.

I also think that dazai is extremely traumatised. Obviously he's traumatised by being in the mafia at 15 and by odasaku's death, but I also think dazai may have been traumatised even before then.

Atsushi is dazai's mentee, the half of shin soukoku. He's shown to have childhood trauma. Akutagawa also has childhood trauma. Chuuya has childhood trauma. This may be a coincidence but almost every main character in this series has some form of early trauma.

Dazai IRL was not called Dazai Osamu. Dazai Osamu is actually a very sad name but Dazai's birth name is Tsushima Shuuji. IRL dazai/Tsushima was the son of a rich family that lived in Aomori prefecture (which is very rural lol). Dazai had an absent father and a sick mother and wasnt raised by his parents but rather by servants and his aunt. His father died when he was young (not that he got very old) and his life was plagued by constantly running off with girls, getting his allowance cut for being a marxist, and, yes, suicide attempts.

So my ideas for how this may translate into bsd dazai is this:

- dazai ran away from home when he was young

- dazai never had a good parental figure

- dazai is from a rich family in a rural area very far away. Like for those who don't know Aomori is at the northern tip of Honshū, just below Hokkaido. Yokohama is just south of Tokyo. The region in between is mostly forest and smaller cities. Most of Japan's (major) cities are cloistered around Tokyo and Kyoto and Fukuoka which are towards the south. So dazai is a country boy who has wandered japan after running away from home.

- dazai's real name is Tsushima Shuuji and there's a personal reason he's distanced himself from that. This one im not sure about but yeah

- thus follows that why would dazai be so fucked up if he isn't a psychopath and he did come from a rich family? Dazai to me reads that something major happened. In shin skk it's clear that atsushi and alutagawa share a past of abuse at the hands of parental figures and loneliness. With all the similarities and parallels drawn between the characters in skk and shin skk it seems logical to me that chuuya's past of torture may be similar to Dazai's in a way. It would be disappointing to me if dazai's past was covered and it didn't in some way affect him. The clearest parallel between skk is that they both lacked parental figures most if not their entire lives.

There's also this comment that dazai makes when the head of atsushi's orphanage dies. It's that relationships with fathers are messy and even if they were terrible it's natural to cry. This seems like bsd dazai may share irl dazai's father's death early in his life. It's hinted therefore that dazai's father was either abusive or neglectful and died when dazai was younger.

Anyway this went longer than I thought it would but I invest far too much brain time into bsd so it's gotta seep out at some point lol
