#Thinking about Hades Dazai and Persephone Chuuya

[stuffeddeer]

It's that lurking anon again, please forgive me for this long ass thing I'm probably about to ramble on about, in advance. TW for unaliving and SA.

I loveeee your new drabbles especially the rockstar one, he's so precious. I loved pm Dazai and ADA reader as well. To be honest though, if he asked me on a date I'd fold immediately 🙃 no need to beg, buy expensive wine etc. I know technically he's supposed to be the complete opposite company of reader but I'm all for opposing sides of something falling in love, like an angel and a demon. I feel like even though Dazai is technically a good person now or at least on the good side doing good things, if it came to the person he loved to get hurt or almost die(because I refuse to even entertain the thought of this man having his heart broken again) he'd sacrifice the world for them. "A hero will sacrifice you for the world but a villain will sacrifice the world for you," and I think Dazai when it comes to his love will do the latter.

I especially love Persephone and Hades love story....minus the kidnapping. But I mean Hades loves his wife even though he's supposed to be this horrific devil because he's a God but people demonize him all the time, I see Dazai this way. I love to say he has the luck of the devil but the mind of a God. I have the biggest soft spot for people who I feel a desperate need to take care of and he's definitely one of those characters. Dazai reminds me of myself in sometimes, I've never seen value in living and have tried to not be here any longer twice, but I'm here still and I'm learning to not just exist but actually live. We aren't exactly the same but I genuinely wish I could reach the parts of his heart that he hides behind the shadows of his past. I know this is a lot for just an anime character but I can't deny he's incredibly realistic and I feel deeply for everything.

I know a lot of people don't ship him and Oda(I don't either btw) but I feel like he definitely was in love with him. I've read the manga and as much about this show as I can(I hyperfixate) and whenever it comes to them, I just see the definition of first love and "love of my life." Everything I've read with Dazai on Oda (Oda being older than him and considered him a friend, definitely not brotherly nor fatherly, I don't think Oda knew)and all the things he's done with Oda on his mind and his name in every beat of his heart, I can't deny I see true love there. I know a lot of people ship him and Chuuya(don't attack me fans of this ship please) but I'm not sure I can see him loving someone as much as Oda, after all, look at how much he's changed and done because of Oda(I don't mean he can't love anyone else, he definitely can and I hope he will but it's that eternal love he'll never forget). I know a lot of people think he's incapable of being loyal/would cheat but I think quite the opposite(because this isn't Author Osamu Dazai, this is Dazai who was inspired by two book characters, they're not the same, they have some similarity but only a few things in common), seeing how much love Dazai is capable of makes me feel like, even though he's seen as a womanizer, he has SO much love to give and he'd be so incredibly loyal to whoever captures and secures his heart. That man won't ever betray the one he loves because he's still Dazai and that person will most definitely be his lifeline, the reason he's living, his heart beats for them.

Also reading the characters he's based on makes me sad because he's based on a character that's been through so much sexual assault(both men and women took advantage of him). I feel like it could explain why Dazai is such a womanizer as well. He's not a coward for being traumatized by people in his past and yes I know we don't know if the author will bring anything up about this part of his past that relates to the characters he's based on but I can't help but wonder, you know? And as someone who has been assaulted like he has as well, I understand why he's like that, he's not purposely playing with anyone's heart(I mean the women he's with), he's protecting himself from what he's felt in his past.

Anyway I'm ending this before it gets too long even though I probably went past too long a few paragraphs ago. So sorry if this was too much or weird.

Anyway stay safe love🥺💖 I hope I didn't dump all this on you unexpectedly. I'm so sorry if you hate this or hate anything I said 😭😭

tw: mentions of sh

hope ur doing alright anon ❤️ i agree w a lot of this in terms of dazai's backstory and such ! i have to say tho i can still totally see dz cheating almost for the same reason you say you can't... like, he loves his s/o so much that he wants to drive them away so he doesn't hurt them/get them caught up w his shit, so that they don't die in his arms and he loses another person he loves, etc - what better way of getting them to leave than shattering their trust? (which is still not an excuse ofc)

i also have a hc that dazai is actually some form of asexual and doesn't actually enjoy the meaningless sex he typically has and uses it as a form of sh - like on a rough night he gets horrifically drunk and goes home with a random just because he doesn't view himself as human and wants to make himself uncomfortable. esp w how he was brought up in the pm, using his body to achieve his end goals (shown w kouyka when he says to atsushi that she'll seduce those bodyguards and then take them out, and she's 14; same w when dazai slept w that nurse to get his phone back during the cannibal arc i believe) like it's clear mori expects some pretty horrific things from his subordinates, so he's definitely used to viewing himself as less-than and viewing his body as a tool...

it's all food for thought, idk. hope you're in a better place and taking care of yourself, anon ❤️

23 and 37? :D

23. If you were to revise one of your older fics from start to finish, which would it be and why?

I don’t know if you heard that, but it’s the sound of my soul leaving my body and finding some semblance of peace. There’s a lot of stories I want to revise.

For instance: the mafia fics/series I made for Yuri on Ice, the regency!omegaverse I did for the same fandom, a reincarnation/time-travel I wrote when YoI was a fledgling fandom but I eventually pulled from AO3 because I didn’t know how to continue it, the physics teacher!Connor and android!Gavin fic I did for Detroit: Become Human, a lot of WIPs in my folder right now for BSD because I’ve been worldbuilding and fleshing out those stories but unsure how to execute them quite yet and….there’s a lot.One of the biggest reasons I want to revise those old works because with each new WIP, I grow and learn something new as a writer and I would like to pass on my experience and see how I would approach old ideas with a new perspective. But obviously, there are too many WIPs to choose from and I don’t know which one I would want to revise.The one I would want to do-over was a WIP I never posted onto AO3 and it was the feudal historical story, featuring kitsune and other youkai. That was a terrific WIP to write for and it strengthened me as a worldbuilder. I would like to return to it and re-conceptualize the plot and write the wandering story between a kitsune and a guy who can foresee tragedy through smoke.

37. Talk about your current wips.

One of my WIPs is called the “Spaghetti Fic” because it’s a story told through second person, where a character is making dinner to celebrate his anniversary with his husband and is reminiscing all the highs and lows they’ve been through as friends and as a couple. I did the second person approach because I wanted to write the first half of the story as a recipe before I transition into a traditional narrative format. Something a little unique and something new for me to write for.

My second WIP is a greek mythology!AU for Bungou Stray Dogs, featuring the classic myth of Hades & Persephone + a murder-esque mystery where our main characters learned that a seasonal hora by the name of Winter used to exist before she was wiped from history and from the natural order. Alongside the mystery, I think one of my favorite parts about this WIP is figuring out which deity each BSD character would be and that’s been a lot of fun.

Dazai makes for an inquisitive, slightly sadistic and worrisome Persephone and Oda is the “chill as a cucumber, but sweating bullets” Hades that tends to a large library in the underworld, stocked full of history about humanity and the gods. You got Ranpo as the fiery Hermes and self-proclaimed “Olympian Hawk”, you have Agatha Christie as the cunning and dangerous Athena whose loyalties aren’t as you’d expect, you have Chuuya as Apollo and the sharpshooter for the sun. You have Haruno, Mark Twain, and Yamagiwa as the seasonal horai that mark the transition of Spring, Summer, and Autumn. You have Hirotsu as the ferryman for the dead, you have H.G. Wells as the goddess of fate/destiny and how her prophecies play a huge impact over the story, You’ve got Fyodor as the deceptive god, Dolos, and how he uses temptation to draw the worst or best out of the gods and among other things.

I liken this story to a soap opera because it’s so character-driven.
