If Dazai had Neko ears in the new BSD wan. Nya 🐱

I couldn't add ears to Chuuya 😭 My iPhone and hands are unsteady. Maybe someone else can! If you do, I'll make catzai and catchuu my Tumblr header ✨

[kaurwreck]

do you have any general headcanons about bsd that you're fond of? sort of alternatively, any interesting tidbits about the irl authors to share? your blog has taught me a lot, maybe even a bit against my will 💀 irl authors were so funny ANYWAY ty so much for oversharing because i enjoy it a lot!!

I've been chewing on how to answer this because I have so many headcanons I'm so fond of, but it felt too self-indulgent to pour headcanons on you when I could offer facts as an alternative.

I post what I learn because it excites me, but also because I think it's wrong to have the resources I do without striving to share them. Since I haven't been writing fic like I used to, analyses and factual deep cuts are also all I have to offer the community in return for the joy this media brings me. It's not what everyone always wants, but it's the only other way I know how to engage.

That said, at least this time, I'm going to share several of my headcanons (some of which are theories) instead. But, so that I'm not completely wasting anyone's time, I'll also include one (1) Akutagawa fact at the end, if only because I think it's devastating 🧡

the Executives

Chuuya and Verlaine have a monthly standing appointment with each other to smoke and drink Bordeaux and wax poetic in French in Verlaine's depression hovel. It's a pretense for Verlaine to tell Chuuya about Rimbaud, and for Chuuya to listen and remember so that he can be the edifying stele Rimbaud's grave wasn't afforded.

It's also so they can vent, gush, and gossip.

Kouyou and Verlaine both want to dress Chuuya and bicker over it, especially ahead of formal events and special occasions. Chuuya and Verlaine are closer in taste, so Verlaine often prevails, but where Chuuya won't accept Verlaine's suggestions without inserting his own street urchin, delinquent flourishes, every so often he allows Kouyou to dress, accessorize, and accent him to her heart's desire (especially if she hasn't seen Kyouka in some time).

Chuuya does not, ever, listen to or humor Mori's wardrobe suggestions.

When the Executives convene for a meeting requiring conensus or a quorum, Mori places a maneki-neko in the seat reserved for Dazai as a proxy. (It used to be in Dazai's seat all of the time, but it was repeatedly vandalized, so now Mori otherwise stores it in his desk.)

Chuuya is a workaholic who's leisure is often occupied by engagement with interests relevant to his professional development; Kouyou maintains strict boundaries around her leisure time (namely spent on or to provide for Kyouka), and Mori is only not-working when he's spoiling Elise, although he usually works through that too.

As a result, Chuuya and Mori spend the most time together, and Chuuya is so used to co-working with Mori in Mori's office that he forgets it's not also his.

Chuuya maintains the Port Mafia's relationships with foreign syndicates, contacts, and illicit trading partners. This is for several reasons: he's a polyglot, and it furthers and maintains his other languages; Kouyou thinks it's good for him to practice diplomacy and negotiation; Mori is aware the organization prefers Chuuya as his heir and wants him well established with their business partners should Chuuya succeed him; Chuuya has friends in Europe he enjoys visiting when the role requires travel; and it deters malicious foreign interest in the Port of Yokohama since Chuuya reminds those who don't consider Japan a world power in the aftermath of the Great War that Yokohama is stewarded by a hot tempered guard dog who can control the most astronomically influential fundamental force theorized by physics.

Chuuya's half-mullet is a reference to both Verlaine's side ponytail and Kouyou's half-bangs.

Mori is asexual.

the Agency

The Agency office has a spare room that Fukuzawa has furnished and decorated to be a relaxing reprieve for mindful repose. The Zen room, colloquially. Dazai uses it to masturbate at work, Ranpo uses it as a spare pantry, Yosano has appropriately pointed out it should be a lactation room for accessibility and equity but uses it to read and write erotica when bored, Kunikida uses it for the nervous breakdowns he doesn't want the others to see (and to smoke), Kenji has never once needed it, Tanizaki and Naomi use it for unspeakable acts, Kyouka uses it for shikantaza as Fukuzawa intended, and Atsushi isn't aware it exists.

Atsushi isn't allowed to have prolonged screen time because Kunikida thinks he's too impressionable, which is why Kunikida won't let him have a smartphone or a tablet. He's going to be very annoyed when he learns that Ango allowed Atsushi to use his tablet unsupervised during the Hunting Dogs arc.

Atsushi doesn't know about bills, pensions, or investment portfolios because Kunikida is maintaining his for him without him noticing. (Kunikida intends to teach him about each and transition small responsibilities, but only once Atsushi turns 20.)

Kunikida also maintains Dazai's, or at least he tries. Dazai keeps finding the accounts and draining them on sake, gambling, elaborate attempts to tease others, and impulse purchases.

I do not think Dazai has any savings from the Port Mafia; I think he spent what he had during the two years he was in hiding, and that he's never been capable of resisting ridiculous purchases for elaborate machinations. Like, he once paid a man who took the same train as Kunikida every day to stand near Kunikida and sneeze without covering his mouth at the exact same time every day for almost a year. Then, on a day when Kunikida had several important meetings, Dazai asked the man to sneeze 37 seconds later than usual. It ruined Kunikida's entire day; he had to take paid time off to recover from the aftermath.

Yosano treats Kunikida like a little brother and nurtures and chides him. She doesn't baby him, though, because he responds best when he has high expectations to meet and because he externalizes his frustration in a way she genuinely doesn't have the patience to tolerate. This is to his benefit; it humbles him and keeps him from becoming too condemnatory and punitive.

Dazai and Yosano slept together when he first joined the Agency. They haven't since, but they have a mutual understanding that she can and does use (i) his self-flagellating, psychosexual attraction to her and (ii) his habit of objectifying competent, compassionate women as victims of his attraction to manipulate him for his self improvement and her sometimes sexual gratification. He's usually fine with it; she doesn't when he isn't.

They're also aware that they sometimes remind the other of Mori (well before they became aware of each other's pasts with him) so they maintain a level of emotional and physical distance to protect themselves and each other. Mostly, this distance is pre-calculated and mutually respectful. But sometimes it's not; sometimes, it's punitive and petty.

Yosano and Dazai have never explicitly negotiated any of the above, nor have they ever needed to. This is another way in which they remind each other of Mori, and so their synchronity ensures their distance.

Atsushi thinks Kyouka is under his care, but Kyouka and the rest of the Agency know that he's under hers.

Tanizaki's feigned harmlessness is to deflect attention and scrutiny, but it's also part of his 24/7 BDSM relationship with Naomi.

Dazai is the only stray cat Fukuzawa knows better than to smother, which is why Dazai may wander but will always slink his way home.

Atsushi's selectively acute perceptiveness into the hearts of others renders Dazai unusually vulnerable and bare in such a way that Dazai covets. But it's also why Dazai frets enough about Atsushi's perception of him that he changed clothes before seeking him out and tried to explain himself at the end of Dead Apple. That Atsushi didn't need him to is why Dazai wanted to; Atsushi engenders a drive in others to meet his faith in them energetically and with sincerity. He has no idea that he has this impact on others; which is why Lucy and Akutagawa also want to drown him.

There are enough spare dorms that Kyouka and Atsushi don't need to share; Fukuzawa, Ranpo, Yosano, Kunikida, and Dazai just all agreed that Atsushi and Kyouka would be happier and do better if maintained as a pair. And Dazai thought it would be funny to lie.

etc., Etc.

Kouyou speaks, acts, and dresses like an oiran in reference to irl!Kyouka's favorite and most consistent character archetype. Non-coincidentally, irl!Kyouka's preference for writing seductive, powerful, maternal, victimized, narratively damned women characters was Oedipal in nature.

Dazai's skill, like Kyouka's, was transferred to him, which is why he's incapable of controlling it as effectively as other touch-based skill users like Hirotsu and Chuuya control theirs. Dazai's skill was transferred to him by Natsume and is a fragment of Natsume's own skill (his nine lives, so to speak).

Skills are shaped by and manifest in response to their users' intense and often unmet or insecure needs and desires. Much like any coping mechanism, they're constructs as deeply ingrained as personalities once formed.

Kyouka and Dazai's limited control over their abilities is a psychological barrier rather than a matter of in-universe physics.

Atsushi is the white tiger, Akutagawa is the azure dragon, Dazai is the black tortoise, and Chuuya is the vermillion bird. They're the four symbols, and they embody four of the five phases (while grappling with the fifth).

Natsume brought Dazai to Mori, and followed Dazai to Fukuzawa.

Ango, Kunikida, and Chuuya have a group chat to coordinate the keeping and care of Dazai, but Ango is habitually kicked and then begrudgingly allowed back in.

Agatha Christie directs the Order of the Clock Tower from where she's imprisoned in the Elizabeth Tower (nèe the Clock Tower, misnomer Big Ben). This is less a headcanon and more a substantiated theory— if you notice, the room Agatha Christie is always depicted as being inside in the manga has wood panels that are reminiscent of the oak paneled walls of the irl prison room in the irl Elizabeth Tower. The anime iteration more generally references elements of the Elizabeth Tower's Gothic Revival design in the room's symmetrical and ornate carved details, decorative moldings, arches, tracery, vaulted ceiling, heavy and curved and elaborately patterned furniture, etc., etc. Her skill being called And Then There Were None and her cold, calculating, sadistic personality also suggest she takes after Judge Wargrave, who was both the righteous condemner and among the righteously condemned.

As for your irl fact: Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's children did not call him dad; they called him Ryu-chan.

[play-rough]

speaking of cats and dazai!!!!

i think dazai would LOVE those stupid cat mobile games. like the restaurant ones that relentlessly attack you with ads. i dont think he'd even play the game for the most part, he'd just stare at the kitties moving around the screen.

All the mobile games are on Chuuya’s phone because Dazai’s like that’s stupid (i hc that he has like. Three phones. Multiple SIM cards he swaps out, a bunch of different text threads with different people all over the city no one has their number saved he just remembers. The only people with saved contacts in his phone are Mori, Oda, Ango, and Chuuya. Chuuya was not saved at first until Dazai realized having to look at the phone number all the time made him accidentally memorize it and then he shamefully added the UGLY SLUG contact)

Ok though. Mobile games 😭 they’re all on Chuuya’s phone and YES he loves ones with ads that pop up and take up the whole screen so every so often he has to whine and tug on Chuuya’s shirt so he can press the ❌ button and get rid of the ad 😭 Chuuya gets so tired of this i bet he pays 4.99 to get rid of all ads forever 🫠

I think he’d also like Neko Atsume but there’s a lot of waiting involved and I think Chuuya’s search history is full of “neko atsume make cats appear” “how to get more cats Neko atsume” “Neko atsume no cats glitch” they have a hard time remembering to check back in after placing the fish down to wait for kitties 😭

[silverbladexyz]

are open but are you totally ok? but I had a request. vampire dazai!x fem reader . take ur time to write it.if u don't want to just dm me

Hiiii neko! Welcome back :) and yep, it's fine ^-^. Now let's get on to this fic :)

The image does not belong to me. It belongs to it's original owner.

TW: Mentions of suicide, mentions of death, Dazai biting himself, scars

Most people who knew you only knew you as a smart and capable girl.

You were only a normal girl who worked at the Armed Detective Agency, solving many hard cases and protecting the city of Yokohama. Even when you didn't have an ability, your quick mind and combat skills made up for it. Your colleagues liked and respected you, and soon you caught the attention of the suicidal maniac.

Dazai had flirted with you a lot, asking for your hand in a double suicide multiple times. You had befriended him after working with him on multiple cases, even hanging out with him multiple times after work. His charming and energetic personality had quickly drawn you to him, and it wasn’t long before you started developing feelings for him. And my my, did they grow quickly.

He seemed to like you back, but you didn’t want to fully believe that. Reading Dazai was nearly impossible, but you were smart enough and observant enough to know that he didn’t want to risk hurting you by being any closer with you, because he himself had a lot of enemies from his past. It still didn’t stop you from flirting back with him however. Everytime you did, you hoped that he couldn’t hear how loud your heart pounded.

But one night, everything had changed.

~~~

You had worked overtime, and you had to walk back home in the dark. You weren’t afraid, since you could defend yourself, but it still didn’t stop from giving you a few chills down your spine. You picked up your pace, willing your legs to move faster.

You were taking a shortcut back home. It wasn’t well known, mainly because of how shady it was, but due to the amount of times that you had taken it you knew it like the back of your hand. The moon shone big and blue in the night sky, casting it’s light onto everything in it’s path. You quickly walked past an alleyway, where a familiar dark figure was standing there with their wrist to their mouth.

A familiar dark figure with a wrist held to their mouth??

You whirred around and went into the alleyway, the moonlight illuminating the person underneath. Catching a glimpse of brown clothing, you approached them cautiously and saw that it was... Dazai??

His eyes were red like rubies, and two sharp fangs were pieced in his wrist, blood flowing out of the wound. There were multiple other bite scars littered around the same wrist, and those were normally covered by the bandages that wrapped his skin. From all of this, you had quickly deduced what was happening.

“Dazai...?” You faintly said. He turned his head in a flash, eyes widening when he saw you. Quickly, he took his wrist out of his mouth, blood dribbling down the wound and his fangs as he flashed a carefree smile at you. But you knew that smile so well that you knew it was fake.

“Oh! Y/N-chan! Did you miss me so much that you came out at night to visit me?~” Even when his voice was energetic and casual, Dazai’s body said otherwise; his pupils were dilated and trembling, his entire body shaking as if it couldn’t contain something. You stepped closer, and he immediately took a step back.

He needs blood other than his.

Before he could say something, you spoke. You didn’t know what possessed you to do it. Maybe it was because of your concern for him, for those numerous scars littered on his body and that hungry look in his eyes as he thirsted for another person’s blood. Or maybe because it was of your love for him, that you would even sacrifice yourself for him if it meant him living for another day.

“Dazai. Drink from me. Now.”

His eyes widened as he took a few more steps back. You stepped forward more, only for Dazai to hold out his palm in a ‘stop’ motion. You stopped, not wanting to upset him further. His breaths came out raggedly, as if he had trouble breathing. Or trouble controlling his desire for fresh, human blood.

“Y/N... what are you doing here? Go home, it isn’t safe for you while I’m like this. I could hurt you, possibly even kill you!” Dazai rasped. His mouth was dry, sweat forming on his skin from having to hold himself back from attacking you. You shook your head, taking another step forward.

“I don’t care if you hurt me or kill me. What matters to me is that you’re healthy and living. So drink from me right now, or else I’m not leaving and we both know what that would lead to.” Were it any other situation, you would’ve blushed a bit when you said that. But now was not the time.

Dazai’s eyes flickered back and forth between your neck and your face. The struggle was clear in him, red pupils clashing against brown as he fought to control his desires. But even Dazai Osamu himself wasn’t invincible.

You felt the slightest prick on your wrist as his fangs pierced your skin. Red liquid flowed out of the wound, Dazai’s tongue slowly licking it. It didn’t hurt as much as you expected; or maybe because Dazai was being extra careful and gentle.

Your blood seemed to work like magic. With every passing second, Dazai himself looked much more healthier. His complexion was better, his breathing stable, and he looked much stronger. With a last lick, Dazai pulled his mouth away from your wrist and let out a soft sigh of content.

You let a few moments pass by before speaking.

“So... how long have you been hiding this for?”

“All my life,” Dazai answered, wiping his mouth with his hand. “Let’s say that I got into an accident during one of my suicide attempts... and then bibbity bobbity boo I emerged as a vampire! Who had super strength and speed and even good looks! Although it makes me harder to kill...” He pouted, however you could see the pain and loneliness in his eyes. The pain and loneliness of something that wasn’t human.

“But... I thought your ability could cancel out any other ability? How did you turn into a vampire then if it was by a suicide attempt?” Dazai shrugged as he put his hands in his pockets. Evidently it was a mystery that even he couldn’t figure out.

“Well, never mind that. You’ve been feeding on your own blood. Isn’t that particularly bad for you as your own ability contradicts your vampirism? And it seems that your own blood might not provide as much nutrition.”

“You catch on fast.” The suicidal maniac leaned against the alleyway wall, looking like any young man who certainly was not feeding on you earlier. In the moonlight, his eyes still shone the slightest red, but his pupils had turned mostly brown.

“Vampires who feed on their own body don’t last very long... although that wouldn’t seem half as bad. It’s just a painful and disgusting death by malnutrition and starvation, not to mention the possibility of humans finding out about the vampire species.” You frowned at the fact that there could be more vampires lurking in the shadows of Yokohama.

“So can you turn into a bat? Are you allergic to silver and garlic? How many humans have you fed off? Could you actually feed off other vampires?” Dazai laughed a bit at the speed on which you shot your questions at.

“Unfortunately, I cannot turn into a bat. I’m not allergic to garlic, however silver does cause skin irritation for me. I haven’t fed off a lot of humans since a vampire has their own unique taste for blood; you’re the first one I’ve come across that suits my tastes in a long time. And as for feeding off other vampires, it is possible, just that I haven’t seen one for ages.” You gave a silent sight of relief.

“Oh, and I forgot one thing.” You tilted your head. Dazai looked at you with a small smile.

“When vampires feed off a human and the human blood actually suits their taste, I guess you can say that they are destined together. Kind of like soulmates, don’t you think?”

Your face burst into the deepest shade of red when you grasped the hidden meaning behind Dazai’s words.

~~~

“We’ve secured the target and arrested him. He should be at the 4th alleyway near the crime scene with the cops.” You reported to Kunikida over the phone, walking back to your shared apartment with Dazai. Your brown-haired boyfriend sidled up to you, slipping his arm around your waist. It was nearly feeding time for him, but you weren’t afraid that he would hurt you since he always managed to be gentle.

“Y/N-chan!~ I’m getting hungry, can we please stop by near our house to eat something?” He whined. You whacked him lightly, but you smiled. Dazai smiled back, his brown eyes meeting yours.

“I swear, all you ever think about is your appetite. But don’t worry, there should be somewhere we could stop by so you could fill that greedy hunger of yours.” He laughed, sliding his other arm across your front so to pull you into a sort-of side hug. Even though the hug was gentle, you could still sense the slightest tension in it. Dazai would need blood in the next 10-15 minutes or else it wouldn’t be pretty.

After checking that nobody was around, you pulled Dazai into an alleyway. He loosened his arms from your waist as you unbuttoned your collar. The familiar feeling of his canines returned against your neck, the slight prick of the skin and the flowing sensation of your blood. Your arms came up around his neck as his encircled around your waist again, and your bodies moved slightly as if you two were dancing slowly.

Perhaps you two were destined together afterall.

Falls onto the floor because of how bad this was shfjfjifisjf
