fem mushiranpoe aka ranpo and the ladies she pulled by being autistic

[rosegardenrequiem]

i’ve been having mushipoe brainrot for the past few days so please let me present something for your shipping consideration.

[CHAPTER 78.5 SPOILERS]

as you manga readers know, mushitarou is currently staying at poe’s mansion for protection. and we know how strangely excited poe is to be hosting him.

but people are overlooking just how kindly poe is treating him and how it’s the warmest we’ve ever seen any character treat mushitarou.

poe is saving his life rn. all he needed to do was host him and that would’ve been enough. but poe was concerned about keeping him entertained. he encouraged mushi to engage in a personal interest to keep his spirits up :)

and later, we see him checking in on mushitarou. i imagine he heard mushi’s shout from a few panels prior and came to check on him.

and look how satisfied he is when he sees mushitarou finally writing. from what he’s thinking in these panels, we can tell that he wasn’t just concerned with entertaining mushi. he wanted to give him an emotional outlet, as well. poe is aware of mushi’s past, that we can assume. he wants to help him cope with his grief. he wants to help him heal <3

if that wasn’t sweet enough, i’ve picked up on a little detail that most probably haven’t. yes, this means that i’ve skimmed this section of the manga over and over again..

we can see here that mushi falls asleep without any blankets

but after he wakes up, we explicitly see that he has one on.

poe tucked him in while he was sleeping.

THE SILLIESSSS :3

Poeguri as that one scene of scott and ramona!

Ughhh this was so funny to do,, i love them sm

Note: i know in the style of the series they don't have pupils colours BUT IT WAS JUST SO WEIRD TO SEE MUSHI WITHOUT IT

[faellustrations]

just guys being dudes

[ID 1: Digital art featuring Poe, Ranpo, Karl, and Mushitaro from Bungo Stray Dogs. The piece is done in blues, oranges, creams, and browns. Ranpo happily says "if loving you is cringe, i don't want to be based (heart emoticon)" to Poe. Poe's back is to the viewer, but his shoulders are hunched over and he appears to be blushing and shaking. In the distant background, an unamused Mushitaro with Karl on his shoulders turns around and glares at Ranpo and Poe. He says, "can you guys PLEASE have a normal conversation". /End ID]

[ID 2: Digital doodles also featuring Poe, Ranpo, Karl, and Mushitaro. On the left, Poe has Karl on his shoulders and blushes as he holds one hand to his chest and holds Ranpo's hand with the other. Karl looks unamusedly at Ranpo. Ranpo is in the middle and joyfully holds his other hand out to Mushitaro, saying "quit your job... join my emo band". Mushitaro is on the right, and he is drawn in thicker lines than the others. He is turned slightly away from Ranpo. He has an exaggerated confused and disgusted expression as he looks at Ranpo, and says "What." in large, bold letters. /End ID]

My takes on some ploy ships involving Dazai and Ranpo

Kunichuranzai this Kunichuranzai that but . . . what about . . . Mushiranpoezai!

I don't normally ship ships with 3+ people but I thought of this. Alternatively there's Mushiango and just Ranpoezai.

IDK how Poe would feel about Dazai though. I think he'd feel okay if Ranpo liked him, but their personalities don't seem that compatible (they even are different types of morbid). And I feel like Mushitarou would be low-key terrified of Dazai (that or weirded out). Just my opinions though.

And I personally see Mushitarou feeling at first very intimidated and then as they become friendlier, affectionate, but platonically towards Ranpoe, so I ship him more with Ango.

I propose Mushiranpoezai because I feel like kunikidazai and souheki have such different vibes (more soft and domestic and pure) than soukoku so they wouldn't really all get along. Also because of the conflict with Chuuya being a literal active criminal and Kuni's ideals, and Ranpo's connections to the police.

Chuuya is so free. He wants to live life to the fullest to prove he's human, which I think could clash with Kuni's need for organisation. On the other hand, he's an extremely hard and dedicated worker (workaholic) and cares about people to value their schedules.

I think Ranpo's brutal straight forwardness could be good for Chuuya's trust issues, but I see Chuuya having a hard time getting over his rudeness (despite his swearing, Chuuya is still a very considerate person, like when he walked that lady across the street in wan). I think Chuuya would find Ranpo insufferable and spoiled and probably be very annoyed by him, maybe because he might view Ranpo as having a much more luxurious childhood than him.

It's true that Kunikidazai and SKK are similar dynamics, but not nearly the same, their banters are motivated by very different things and one carries way more negativity than the other and probably more dependance (at least on Dazai's part).

So while I like all these ships individually, and I don't really ship either poly ship, I personally believe based on my interpration of canon and the characters that Mushiranpoezai is more plausible.

hello mushipoe fans

[fagdykemuppet]

methinks mushitaro has regular nightmares and sometimes poe finds him late at night in his library reading and struggling to stay awake because he doesn't want to have another nightmare... he keeps him company because HE sure as hell isn't going to bed anytime soon... maybe he moves a couch in there so he can lay mushitaro down whenever he inevitably falls asleep. mushi often wakes up in the library with a blanket wrapped around him

Ranpo’s (Un)fortunate meeting with Mori and the Heartless Mafia Executive! (Ranpo in my Souheki Roleswap! AU)

previous part.

⚠️TW: murder, assault(?), torture, sadism, masochism⚠️

After being beat up badly at the theatre, Ranpo was brought to a doctor that was also there for the play, his doctor's coat was as white as snow, in contrast to his dark hair and eyes: his aura was eerie, it grounded him with an irrational fear, the boy showed no signs of being afraid of doctors or hospitals before, or anything related to that, the man walked closer to the couch the boy was on, smiling; "Hello, Ranpo-kun, I'll be your doctor for today." And that's when it hit, that guy wasn't any ordinary medic, and he was sure the guy knew that, given the sinister smile he had, "My name is Ougai Mori," he had begun speaking again, his predatory voice had the boy on alert, his body was ready to rush out the door, should the doctor do anything risky or highly suspicious, he was prepared, he did not feel safe there. Ougai crouched a little so his dark hair brushed against Edogawa's face, looking at him rather seductively, his cold fingers touching his now very pale cheeks, "What's wrong? You look like you saw a ghost", Ranpo didn't know how to answer that, he wouldn't, as he was aware that the words from his mouth were filthier than need be, he only shifted his position to secure his legs on the bed, he backed up a bit from the medic slowly, Ougai moved his hands and reached for the tools he needed to clean up the blood from the kid's face: moving an inch felt as if it would make the world collapse, even breathing, so he stayed dead silent, seeing how brute and sketchy the guards treated him, even if only by a stare or a sigh, he deduced he was a mafia doctor, Mori was too busy humming an unrecognizable tune while sorting through his utensils to notice anything, so much so that Ranpo could almost walk out the door, almost, "Where are you going?" He froze in his tracks, eyes wide and glued to the floor, managing to acquire a calm attitude before turning around, a little smile on his face as he adjusted his hat, "The play's starting, can we go, mister?" Mori agreed and they made their way to the theatre after the wounds were stitched, Mori walking alarmingly close to him, happily humming.

In their seats, Ranpo couldn't help but yell out the answer in complete frustration, Mori, instead of scolding him, encouraged his outburst and simply patted his head in understanding: as the murderer on stage finished his speech, Mori stayed on stage throughout and mentally picked Ranpo apart, inserting the idea that those too foolish to understand him, those who dared to argue back and question his intelligence, should be silenced eternally: cut to the theatre being filled with dead silence, crimson wine staining everything, from ceiling to stage, a blade shining in the spotlight; "I knew you were a natural, Ranpo-kun!" The boy's previously glowing emerald eyes saw in a withered, lightless green, emotionlessly,

Ranpo Edogawa, a twenty-six year old Executive working under Mori, is specialized in interrogation and assassination, is known to have masochist and sadistic tendencies towards himself and his enemies: frequently resorting to torture for self-enjoyment, even he is under it himself, he does not show the least bit of displeasure, critizing and debunking their means and such instead, an avid lover of switchblades and knives in general (curtesy of Mori), prefers to go on missions with either Chuuya or alone, them being an exceptional team in the Mafia for their effectiveness and success, he's rather nice to the redhead, if the annoying bickering is put aside; apart from one-on-one combat, he's surprisingly athletic, shifting from rooftop to rooftop with ease, loves taunting his persecutors before torturing and killing them off, moving onto the next bloodbath to be executed flawlessly. His life outside of work is one of a cat and dog lover who often visits animal shelters and a particular library owned by an occult enthusiast and a famous American mystery novel writer, who offer him sweets as he reads the day away, often being the last one to stay in the library, helping out as they close up for the day and waving goodbye; still, even in the Mafia, he's the most apathetic towards human life, not caring who lives and who dies, who's innocent and who is not, they are all the same to him, shedding blood without blinking: despite this, he could be described as childish and generous by outsiders who aren't aware of his line of work, maybe even sweet.

You CANNOT tell me that Poe and Mushitarou aren't major theater kids.

[wrenkos]

karl is like a cat to me

[kyojimi]

My eyes are being mean smh but that won't stop me from writing Coralie BSD au -- "Moo Moo have you seen Karl? Is he with Ranpo? I can't find him anywhere- Oh I'm so worried." Poe said with a panicked voice, Mushitaro knows that Karl, the raccoon means the world to Poe. It's his first-ever friend, the one that gave him company and comfort whenever the author was down or in a terrible state. Usually, Karl ended up with Ranpo but Ranpo always left a note stating that Karl was with him. This time there doesn't appear to be a note in sight, "I'm sure Karl is around here somewhere, alright? We will find him. Give Ranpo a call or message- and stop calling me that ridiculous nickname." He complained, damn that detective for calling him that all of the time, now Poe's picked it up.

The author inhales and then exhales, trying to calm himself. "O-Okay, I'll call him," He turns away from Mushitaro. The cat-shifter hummed, stretching his arms in the air with a yawn, Shifting his attention from Poe's figure, he peered out the window. Surprisingly it's a good day rather than the usual rain that attacks the window, the latest storm was awful. Mushitaro swore that it would've taken out the glass if it had continued on for any longer but Poe replied with 'If that ever happens, I will get them replaced or replace them myself.' This reminds Mushitaro that the author has the ability to design and build. He often forgets that he isn't just an author but an architect too..

After a couple of minutes Poe returns from his phone call. Looking at Mushitaro with a look of defeat, it's clear just by that expression, Karl isn't with Ranpo then. Did the detective even pick up? Surely, when it comes to Ranpo, the male always picks up because he's usually slacking. “What's up?” The cat-shifter asked, leaning against the counter behind him.

“Karl isn't with him. I-I have no idea where he could be, I'm worried, what if he ran away?” Oh no. He could hear the shakiness in the author's voice, Mushitaro was upright in seconds. Pulling the other man into his arms to comfort him. “Hey, we'll find Karl alright? Let's go take a look around the neighbourhood, he's your raccoon, he'll never up and leave you.” He hoped he didn't know much about the raccoon despite living here. He somewhat regrets that he desperately wanted to help with the investigation of the pet’s whereabouts.

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────••─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────••────

They ended up checking the neighbourhood until the sun began to set, There was no sight of the raccoon anywhere and Mushitaro was losing hope that they'd ever find the pet but every time he opened his mouth to suggest they wait until the next morning or for Ranpo to use ultra deduction to find him. Poe would look at him with teary eyes and whisper if they could keep looking for a couple more minutes. How could Mushitaro deny his partner's request? Before Ranpo, before Mushitaro, the author had no one. He only had Karl to keep him company, to fill the void called loneliness, and despair. He knew how much Karl meant to his partner. Thus, he agreed to keep searching.

No Karl. Their search once again ends up being meaningless, Mushitaro is growing more and more worried by the second as he peers over at the author to check if he's alright. Of course, he wouldn't be alright! His animal is still missing, surely Ranpo would know what to do right? He bites at his nails anxiously. Trying to think of every place that the raccoon could've run off to, yet again he couldn't think of anything.

“He's gone.” Poe spoke up and Mushitaro felt his heart shatter at the quivering tone he heard. “Did Karl not like me anymore?”

The cat-shifter is by Poe's side in an instant, wrapping his arms around the author who collapses in his arms. “Hey, Karl loves you, Never think for a second he didn't, he may have gone on a walk and got a little lost okay? When we find him we'll be more careful with locking the doors maybe?” He suggested.

"You promise? Do you think he'd come back?" Poe asked, Mushitaro didn't know whether or not the raccoon would come back but he didn't have the heart to voice that towards the other. "Yes, he will come back, I bet he knows where home is off by heart. Karl is a smart animal after all."

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────••─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

“How many times have I told you to not sneak animals into the base?” The man scolded the other, who pouted in response. “Come on Lippman! Look at how cute it is.” The man, now known as ’Lippman’ sighed with a soft smile appearing on his face. “You can't win me over with your cuteness, no matter how adorable you are.”

Piano pouted, holding the raccoon in his arms as if it were a baby. It's clear the man didn't know how to hold an animal properly which may be why the man isn't allowed a pet. “This is unfair, I want a pet to take care of, I promise to do good.”

Lippman raised an eyebrow, “You already have Albatross for that why need another one?”

Okay that's pretty funny. If he laughed Tross wouldn't somehow find out and come for his soul right? You never know with short bird's like him, vulture's even. They could be watching you every second, spying like hawks that wait for the perfect moment to strike. "I suppose you are correct but I want a real animal too."

The actor shook his head. “No and that is final Piano, you have a container of spiders in your room. Those are your pets that you allow to roam the house for whatever reason. I swear if I see another creepy crawly in my studio I'm slaughtering it.” The beautiful male complained, patting Piano on the shoulder before giving him a light shove towards the door. “Now go let that poor animal go, it's wild and probably has a home elsewhere.“

The piano-themed man huffed but doesn't disobey the orders he is given. He's the leader! Why the heck is he the one getting ordered around? He pouted and placed the raccoon on the door step outside of the house. “I'm sorry little fella but you cannot stay here, I know that Trossy may have agreed with me. Ice man may have reluctantly, Doc would've just tried to dissect you, it wouldn't be pretty either. Lippman is a big meanie!” He huffed, crossing his arms but couldn't help the smile that spreads across his face as the raccoon nudges his leg. Looking at him with those big, wide eyes filled with curiosity. “Bye, Bye little guy.”

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────••─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

Time continues to tick over and over. Mushitaro is the only one awake in the mansion at this moment, Poe had fallen asleep leaning against the front door but Mushitaro moved him to a more comfortable place such as the sofa. There is no way that he'd be able to get the much taller man to the bedroom. So the sofa will work for now.

Ranpo isn't coming home tonight either as he's being held up from work, he's a little worried about that but he knows to put his trust in the detective. He's smart, he knows how to get himself out of trouble if need be.

Now, the cat-shifter is still awake for one reason and one reason only. Waiting for Karl to come home, he still had a shimmer of hope that the animal will return. He didn't want to wake up the next day having to tell Poe that he didn't come home. His heart won't be able to take that pain and you know what?

Mushitaro is grateful he stayed awake because if he was asleep he wouldn't have heard the soft pitter patter of footsteps. The sudden paw that clenches onto his leg, “Huh?” He shook his head with a yawn. Looking downwards, half awake. His eyes land on the fuzzy raccoon, his heart racing in his chest– in seconds the raccoon is scooped up and settled down on his lap. “You really did come back home. Poe's been worried sick, so have I been, even Ranpo! You can't just run off like that alright?” He lightly scolded the animal, Karl purred and curled up on his lap in response. Seeming to be just as tired as he is.

He supposed he could get some shut eye now that the situation is solved now.

[rosegardenrequiem]

tfw when i’m so salty that mushipoe isn’t more popular..

[lvsfyumshtr]

Im still thinking about the fact that mushitaro and poe basically talked to each other before everything happened

ITS KINDA FUNNY HOW KARL WAS GOING TO BE THE LANDMARK😭?? Like how do they ended up agreeing on that "oh yeah my raccoon is going to be the landmark" KSMDKSKD?? HOW

May be that the reason why Poe didn't feel so uncomfortable/so bothered (or idk) with the idea of his mansion being a shelter for Mushi? Mm who knows

[feather-melody]

mushiranpoe tk headcanons cause i'm going insane over them

CW: foot tickles mentioned

between all three of them, poe is the most active in the tickle community and he was in it way before their relationship started

he secretly runs a tickle blog and writes mind-blowing tickle fics that he is crazy embarrassed of

ofc ranpo knew about it all along and when he dropped the truth toward the beginning of their relationship, poe could not speak properly for a solid three minutes

ranpo thought it was cute tho and happily indulged in his interest. started to really like it himself and officially joined the community (and dragged mushi into it when he started dating them)

poe loves loves LOVES being tickled by ranpo, his heart beats real fast and it makes him feel bubbly hehehe

ranpo is the primary ler between them all, he's a menace. i mean. he is a canonical ler

he loves having that bit of power over two guys that are taller than him and loves making them laugh. he also thinks it's funny how sensitive they are

he'll deduce their worst spots and absolutely bully them. he'll tease them too, he's a pretty condescending ler (in the playful way)

on the other hand, mushitarou is pretty much the resident lee lmao

not only does he just have humongous lee energy, he just rarely tickles the others because he thinks its childish and embarrassing (and that's exactly why they tickle him so often hehehe)

poe used to consider himself strictly lee until mushitarou joined the mix. ranpo made him help tickle mushi and he enjoyed it way more than he thought he would

something about making mushi squirm and giggle just rang his bell and he suddenly understood why ranpo liked tickling him so much lmao

so now poe likes to tickle mushitarou too but he's way nicer to him than ranpo is (i just love the ler!poe/lee!mushi combo okay?? it's so underrated)

ranpo likes to surprise the other two with tickles all the time and even after all this time they're still not used to it

he'll walk his fingers up their sides or poke their ribs or blow into their ear

poe gasps softly and tries to contain his reactions but mushitarou absolutely *shrieks* and ranpo thinks it's the funniest thing

ranpo and poe like doing this thing where they trap mushi between them and wreck him and they call it a "tickle sandwich"

sometimes it's mushi lying between them in bed and other times poe has mushi on his lap while ranpo sits on mushi's lap

tickle interrogations are a big thing with them

ranpo knows whenever the others are guilty of something and threatens to tickle them unless they fess up

poe is difficult on purpose to get tickled and tries to hold out for as long as possible

mushi plays dumb but folds as soon as the tickles start

poe will also interrogate ranpo with pokes and prods at his sides to make him giggle

tickle games are also a big thing between them

for example, one gives the other two a mystery to solve and if one/both answer wrong, the loser(s) get tickled. (ranpo rarely loses, meanwhile mushitarou is at a huge disadvantage and constantly complains about it)

tickle sessions in general are just big with them

ranpo will sit between the other two as they lay on their backs and tickle them, sit on their ankles and tickle both of their feet, make poe hold mushitarou still so he can't escape, etc.

poe blushes like crazy whenever he has to watch mushitarou get tickled and vice versa

as much as mushitarou gets tickled, he definitely has a love/hate relationship with it. like yes, it's unbearable but he also kind of likes that it's unbearable?? and he loves the attention. it's complicated and he just finds it embarrassing in general

he isn't quite as open with his affection so helping them with their ler moods is one of his ways of showing appreciation no matter how much he complains

ofc they're very mindful of his boundaries and make sure to never push it to the point that he can't breathe!!

he's a crybaby tho, his laugh is whiny and hysterical. ranpo and poe absolutely eat it up (i'm just obsessed with the idea of them loving on mushitarou ESPECIALLY WITH TICKLES i see too much content with him just being their third wheel, i will fix that)

poe's laugh is gaspy. he tries to muffle/hide his reactions but ends up squeaking and yelping

ranpo's laugh is bright n bubbly!! super super cute and he giggles sometimes

i can't see ranpo being a lee *too* often but i can imagine him letting poe get some tickles in from time to time. poe likes tickling him gently before they sleep

adding onto that, poe likes gently tickling his partners with light, fluttery traces on their stomach and kisses/nibbles to their neck. mushitarou actually finds this kind of tickling pretty pleasant

poe would probably splurge on tickle tools (quills, electric toothbrushes, hairbrushes, vibrating massagers, etc.) because he's loaded and VERY passionate about tickling FHSGJFSGH

overall, their home is just full of tickles and laughter idc how indulgent i'm being i love them hhgfjkfsdkhj
