[marichild]

heiiii haiiii hellooo! for the fake dating ask game i implore chuuya and kunikida. also nikolai and dazai. and soutsuji ofc <3333

HELLO MOCHA SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY. AMAZING CHOICES YOU HAVE HERE SINKING MY TEETH RIGHT INTO THESE. platonic fake dating ask game

1. chuuya + kunikida

im not going to lie i have zero kunichuu thoughts just in like, general, but this is one the less disastrous results of fake dating i think. there's no way kunikida would agree to date even fake date someone for shits and giggles, so naturally: on a case. this goes less disastrously because chuuya is good at this, good at acting natural while keeping an eye out. kunikida is....less so, but chuuya inspires less anger in him, i guess? which is not to say they don't argue; they do, it's just less explosive and doesn't carry on as long because chuuya isn't willing to drag it out for longer than necessary and compromises on things as he sees fit. (he really is an angry 15yo around dazai....)

they look highly odd to anyone who does know them, what with kunikida looking so stiff and chuuya's smiles, or expressions in general, being very strained, but they do a....passable job? there are a surprising amount of things they can relate to, too—copious amounts of paperwork (listen, chuuya is a paperwork guy. you expect me to believe he's constantly at the scene?), wrangling their coworkers and subordinates into order they should get to complain about dazai in a weirdly fond way for a few minutes and dazai, listening over the earpiece, should feel very, very strange about it and such.

all in all it's not a horrible experience and kunikida vows he's never doing that ever again. chuuya just shrugs and goes well. part of the job i guess.

2. nikolai + dazai

oh my god the CHAOS DEMONS. okay this would probably be either the best or worst ever to fake date depending on who you ask. they're both highly enthusiastic about everything they're doing—dates, PDA in the office or whatever just to annoy kunikida and sigma, all of that. they're rather loud and giggly and are smart enough to not be too over the top with it, because then it would look fake and that is not what they're aiming for, but if given the choice, they'd definitely throw loud and exaggerated declarations of love at each other. you know. it's even worse because of dazai being in love with everyone forever and juggling like three different situationships at once. atsushi regularly wonders if he should be investing in headache medicine or something.

at the same time they're basically safe to let out in public, i think! of course they're....questionable, as usual, but not too crazy. in general they're likely to hold hands and all of that. i also think they'd make out where anyone else likely to shriek and wish death upon them would see (so usually kunikida or sigma. sigma learns to just walk out after a few days though.) importantly ranpo is extremely entertained by all of this.

i don't even know how it ends. in my head they continue doing this forever because it's so entertaining.

3. ayatsuji + tsujimura

SOUTSUJI RAHHH [they drag me screaming into the woods]

okay here's the thing. i don't think literally anything would change about them if they fake-dated.

they bicker and banter and argue the same as they always do, and it passes because nobody can figure out besides the real reason why tsujimura chooses to keep ayatsuji around when he so clearly gets on her nerves yet at the same time is different around him in a good way. ayatsuji, for his part. i mean. gestures. he sucks at hiding how fond he is of tsujimura regardless of what that love means to him.

i guess the only different thing would be an attempt at physical affection but this fails miserably because ayatsuji would rather chop off his own arm than act like he likes tsujimura in any capacity and tsujimura is not a very physical affection person to begin with, or at least, she's not used to it with ayatsuji. they give this up and default to their status quo: ayatsuji needling at tsujimura and enjoying this greatly while tsujimura snipes back. it works well enough to convince most people which is the intended goal here.

(if you asked me why they're doing this i'd tell you it's either a casefic or some kind of stupid bet. who knows.)

they're both so relieved to finally end their fake relationship. i do think that no matter what they feel for each other they're most comfortable with what they normally do, so life carries on and ango wonders if he should be trying to tell tsujimura that as disastrous as it was it passed for a reason but neither of them really seem to care, so he decides, oh what the hell. he's not going to touch that.

therefore soutsuji just end up doing their own thing forever. and i love that for them. gaiden adaptation when....

[th3archivisst]

a little pet peeve of mine about the bsd fandom is how every second post is skk

like

yeah

they’re gay

but after a while it gets old?? no hate to skk, it’s a good ship, i just think we should also be talking about dazai having chemistry with LITERALLY ALL THE MEN ON THE SHOW yk

there are so many other characters you can say are his soulmates?? let me list them.

fyodor. he is the only other character in the show who understands dazai completely, they quite literally finish each other’s sentences half the time.

sigma. they would be the softest couple ever. he would teach dazai to give more of a shit about himself and dazai would actually be able to give sigma a home in the ada

kunikida. sure, dazai pisses him off, but it’s a very playful type of thing. kunikida would teach dazai to be less analytic, to listen to his emotions more, and dazai would (not in the best way but still) teach kunikida to work through his anger issues

if i wasn’t currently in public transportation i would be able to list more but point is

chuuya and dazai are the most popular ship mainly because they have a backstory together. if you discard that, or headcanon a past for him with, EVERYONE could be his soulmate

okay fine this post is about how much i need more dazai harem in my life

((Gonna go to beddy bye.. idk when I'll be getting to other threads.. work has just been exhausting...

[clown-demon]

"Oh.. Oda.. right? I know you mentioned him before.. But-- I think I have really vague memories of him. He was really nice... he was one who.. I think-- he was really nice to me.. and never judged me or was mean.." Yumeno said softly, doing their best to recall memories of Oda.. He wasn't exactly a high ranking member, so they didn't remember much due to being so young. But.. they did have some memories of the man.

"Yeah, and you guys can bring some flowers from my garden. You guys can pick out whatever flowers you want to bring to his grave. Oda-kun would be another uncle to you guys. I never met him myself-- but he's important to Dazai-kun so he's important to us too~."

"It's a little more than a picnic. We're also visiting my best friend's grave. I have been too busy with you guys and work to go and clean it and leave offerings. He loved kids, I'm sure it would make him happy to know you guys came with me."

Kotori blinked, but smiled. "What are you gonna leave on his grave?"

"Some flowers. Your Papa made a little statue to put with it as well."

[musicalmoritz]

Why do fandoms hate non-monogamy?

I find it so confusing that the only hate comments I’ve ever received on ao3 have been about non-monogamy of all things. I don’t consider my writing to be massively shocking or controversial but I do occasionally write about some darker subjects (cannibalism, legal age gaps, couples carving their names into each other’s backs, lesbian serial killers), and these are the fics I typically brace myself for pushback on. Again, even the darker stuff doesn’t get too dark, I tend to fluff things up a bit. But these fics end up receiving overwhelming support, which I’m very grateful for

Still though, when I write stuff like that, you can imagine my confusion when people instead choose to hate on my open relationship fics. At least if it were something pertaining to violence I could be like “okay I get it, this subject makes some people uncomfortable.” When it’s simply stretching the bounds of heteronormativity or interpreting the characters differently, the comments end up feeling particularly aggressive. I’m talking a kind of hate I’ve only experienced within Southern Baptist churches

You literally cannot look me in the eyes and tell me that Hisoka and Illumi would have a monogamous relationship. That is so completely different from their canon dynamic, where they’re already implied to have something going on but Hisoka is seen thirsting over other characters frequently. The first hate comment was about them and I was a little petty about it, I called the commenter out in the description of the fic. I have since then deleted the callout but I kinda wish I hadn’t. Though I’ve heard there’s a hatebot on HisoIllu ao3 so that might have been the problem

The other ship was Cherik, which comes down more to interpretation. Although they are one of my favorite ships ever, I do multiship with them and I feel as though their relationships with women are very valuable to both of them. I know because of the ending to Dark Phoenix, a lot of people like to give them a stereotypical Hallmark happily ever after but I just can’t completely see them like that. At least not during the bulk of the franchise, which is where my fic took place. I think they are soulmates but they have other shit going on, and other people in their lives they wouldn’t want to give up (I’m very attached to Erik’s relationship with Magda from the comics so shhhh). Writing them as an old married couple before they’ve worked everything out just isn’t realistic to me

And Soukoku, omg Soukoku. This one wasn’t a hate comment but someone decided to mention in a bookmark they made for one of my fics that they didn’t like how Dazai and Chuuya weren’t fully together and still saw other people. I don’t write for Soukoku anymore as I really only “ship” them in the manga, their dynamic is perfect as it is and I don’t need to see anything added to that. But that’s simply a matter of preference, there are plenty of fans who do want to see them run off and get married and you know what? If I ended up reading a fic like that, I wouldn’t bookmark it just to complain that I’d prefer if they weren’t married. Soukoku is like the least heteronormative ship ever, c’mon guys. Their dynamic is so unique and complex and you want to see them settle down with 5 kids?? To each their own ig but don’t tell me how you want to see them fanonized😭

Those aren’t the only ships I’ve written open relationships with, at least I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure some of my Fyozai and Nikozai fics have been like that as well. Which makes me even more annoyed because I know it’s just because HisoIllu, Cherik, and Soukoku are massively popular ships within their respective fandoms and people want to see them characterized the exact same way every time. When there’s such an overload of content for all three of them, you’d think people would be less picky. If you don’t like how I write them that’s completely fine, just go read a different fic. I promise you there’s no shortage, Soukoku is one of the top ships on ao3. I don’t really like the way Soukoku and Cherik are characterized by their fandoms so when I write them, I try to provide something different. It’s good to have variety in the type of content that exists for ships, I’ve had a lot of Soukoku fans thank me for highlighting Chuuya’s flaws rather than making Dazai the only villain in their relationship. It may not be for you, but there are some people who will enjoy it. If you don’t like it just move on and read something else

Overall I think the issue here is heteronormativity (take a shot every time I write that word). It’s perfectly fine if you want your ships to have a storybook romance where they get married and have babies at the end, I’m like that with most of my ships. But keep in mind that there are different types of relationships, and not everyone wants to read the same thing. That’s my favorite part of multishipping, some ships don’t exist as full relationships to me and that’s great. It gives me the opportunity to explore different dynamics- friends with benefits, one-sided pining, besties who flirt, emotionally married but never confessed. People really only seem okay with this variety of the ship isn’t popular, or if it’s not the main pairing for a character. Nobody bats an eye when I write Fyozai as non-monogamous because at the end of the day, most of those readers want to see Dazai end up with Chuuya. Popular ships deserve variety too though, a lot of readers are secretly missing that. We’ve seen Soukoku written the same way a million times, so why not mix it up?? One fic of them being non-monogamous won’t hurt anybody. You can still interpret them however you want to, but don’t send hate to fans who don’t share the same opinion

Not everyone has the same relationship experience, and fiction should reflect that. There’s a common complaint that love stories are repetitive, so writers should be encouraged to take a different approach to romance. Those relationships aren’t any less valuable than “traditional” ones, they can be just as meaningful and life-changing. I’ll even bring TBHK into this; while I prefer to imagine Teru and Akane having some fairytale ending together, it’s so refreshing to see most fans giving them an angsty slowburn well into their 30s. It’s something you don’t see with every ship, and it fits them well. That’s the beauty of fan fiction, everyone interprets the characters slightly differently so we get to explore different concepts with them. In that sense, even the overused tropes feel unique every time. So don’t shame someone for stepping further outside popular fan interpretation, they’re just proving some variety that many readers may enjoy

[nikozai-ceo]

NikoZai on the puter sketch that someone on twt wanted done so I did it.

[oliveden]

dazai lands with an extra passenger in towe, and when ango meets him at yokohama's airport, he simply gives exhales a long, long sigh.

"i see you have a plus one."

"yup! he wanted to come along, and, well, i wasn't going to say no! meet my boyfriend!"

"...congratulations, dazai," and the funny thing is ango doesn't even sound fake. just hesitant. "i'm sure you understand, however, that the president has only allowed one new member."

"yeah, of course," dazai responds, flapping a hand. "nikolai doesn't even want it, really. he just wants to see japan and also probably cuz i'm here."

"and there will be no war crimes?"

"there will be no obvious war crimes," dazai says brightly. "i wouldn't waste your work erasing my own."

ango gives him another long look, before sighing again and turning around, beginning to walk. "i suppose that's the best i can ask for."

"great!" dazai beams and begins following ango, but not before leaning over calling behind him. "hey hey hey nikolai you're clear you don't have to sneak in!"

made this post and since then i can't stop thinking about nikozai.

au where fyodor doesn't exist/fucked off to somewhere else in russia because his whole. existence. is really annoying to incorporate canonically

oda dies and dazai disappears for several years in order to allow the government time to erase his crimes. at some point, he ends up in ukraine, where he meets someone who calls himself nikolai.

they get along well - probably too well. oda wanted him to do good, dazai knows, but he didn't say "don't kill people." murdering the corrupt head of government isn't exactly harmful to the people, is it?

it's - nice. it's funner than anything dazai can remember from the last couple of years, in any case. nikolai's not bad company. dazai gets a text from ango one day, the exhaustion radiating through the screen.

[i don't know where you are, dazai, but i figured i should let you know your record is clear now. if you want to come back to yokohama, the agency job is still available.]

he does still want to go back to yokohama, that's the thing. odasaku had liked the city. so he lets nikolai know, and packs his bags.

dazai shows up to the airport the next evening, and a familiar gold portal appears next to him. white hair pokes out of it, and then a bag plops onto the ground beside him, and then an entire body.

"hey," nikolai grins up at him. "show me around your city?"

[luverbov]

What do you think about Nikozai? >_< I'm a multishipper but idk if it's solid enough of a ship.. (Nikolai x Dazai)

₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎ Nikozai 𓄹

Clown-to-clown communication is real and its Nikozai 's dynamic

“ Nothings better than 2 gay clowns who want Fyodor dead, right? “

ᐢ..ᐢ I've actually never thought of this ship until now cos honestly I see them more as silly goober best-friends than lovers and also like they've never communicated at all except Mersault and passing Fyodors amputated arm around like hot-potato. ( overused joke? IDC ITS FUNNY )

I see them plotting murders against Fyodor and doing everything- and I mean everything, in their power to annoy the poor Russian, like putting salt instead of sugar in his coffee, putting pepper in his medicine, stealing his ushakna and jump-scaring him (in which, Fyodor predicts but goes along with a sarcastic scream)

Poor Sigma probably has to deal with their bullshit a lot, he has to keep them in line, basically babysitting the two, and they never listen because they're just silly like that Σ (°o°；）

Average conversation between Nikozai either would contain the most jaw-dropping, eye-melting, brain-clenching, eyelash-flying, knee-shaking, dick-hardening, nose-shrinking, toe-curling, ankle-beatboxing, address-doxxing, finger-licking shit ever or it's just stupid conversations about...cats and birds. (i have no idea what i just wrote )

Definitely both touch starved so they're often kissing, hugging, giving piggy-back rides, cuddling, holding hands and both like PDA ( they could not give less of a fuck about the people watching )

If you want me to do Nikozai head-canons comment/request it and I'll make a seperate post for Nikozai headcanons because even as someone who doesn't ship Nikozai, I have a bunch of ideas...

“ I envy you. A bird born in a cage doesn't notice it's a prisoner “

[gogolarty]

Magic! I forgot to post this almost, whoops! Probably my last NikoZai for NikoZai week prompts. Doing so many two characters in a row really takes a lot out of me.

Also this one I had to really push myself, cuz previously I had it colored and clip crashed and I couldn't recover it (probably cuz my internet was dead at that time.)
