[scr4xd]

[thelesbododo]

I want to do a skk little mermaid au, but idk if dazai or chuuya would be Ariel

Like chuuya kinda looks like Ariel and Dazai kinda looks like Eric. Also I like the idea of Kunikida being the advisor

But I also really like the concept of dazai being Ariel and chuuya being prince Eric. Cuz I think it would be funny if Kunikida took the role of sebastian

I'd have to figure out the other roles too, but I think that depends on who plays who

|| RANPO EDOGAWA ||

// Altered Page AU \\

Eventually, I'll post an APAU character sheet for him, along with a design analysis/explanation included with it.

More AU info for those interested:

Note : (I saw a couple people on here saying they were interested in my altered page au(and hsr x bsd au—im working on both at the same time), and i have a couple irls who actively get on my ass about working on it haha, so that was enough to give me the motivation to start working on it again and making more drawings for it... expect a lot of au related artwork ^^)

The Altered Page AU(APAU) is my own bsd AU where Fyodor was actually in the helicopter crash, survived, and rewrote The Page to revert, rewind, and change reality to find The Book. This causes several characters to belong to different affililiations(Sigma, Oda, Akutagawa, Shibusawa, Gin, etc), have different backstories(Akutagawa, Atsushi, Sigma, etc), in some cases have minor/major personality changes(Nikolai, Chuuya, etc), and to make different choices than they made from events in canon.

In the APAU, Ranpo is one of the few characters that is mentally the same as their canon counterpart. The other two that are the same as canon are Dazai and Fyodor.

All the other characters do not remember anything from the canon universe.

Out of the three characters that remember canon, Ranpo is the only one that was technically altered by the page rewrite. He is younger via the page writing, but still has the same mentality, knowledge, memories, and mind of his 26 year old self. He is just in a younger(by a couple/few years) body, like almost everyone else in the AU.

Ranpo is on good terms with Kunikida, Dazai, (eventually) Nikolai, and Yosano.

His relations with Sigma, Fukuzawa, and Atsushi are iffy/complicated. For the beginning of the AU, Sigma absolutely hates Ranpo(they may or may not end up dating, haha...) (I am a rarepair shipper. I dont ship mainy mainstream ships, so dont expect skk, fyolai, etc.)

He hates/is enemies with Fyodor and Shibusawa. Possibly Bram, too, in a way.

Ranpo is also one of the characters who suffers the most in this AU. Having several existential breakdowns, getting stabbed on several different occasions, and having to deal with Fyodor and the DOA/Rats actively trying to get rid of him.

[crowscadence]

AU where everyone is assigned a specific grim reaper and Dazai’s fucking hates him. His attempts actually have succeeded a few times, but the reaper keeps shoving his soul back into his body out of spite

[undergoing-mitosis]

i strongly believe mello would thrive in the BSD universe, cause ridiculously traumatised and angry kid with a killa fashion sense, insane levels of intelligence who literally ran away and joined the mafia at age 14 in canon????? like im sorry, isn't that just every bsd character ever? /pos

am i making an entire BSD x Death Note crossover au just to see this headcanon come to fruition? ...possibly.

[inamagicalhallucination]

i had the best bsd famous no powers au headcanons because i got the mental image of dazai saying he “hates” chuuya and none of his friends should listen to him because chuuya sucks and atsushi sadly putting the chuuya poster he wanted to buy back

and also “wait so dazai can sleep with chuuya but i cant listen to his music??? wtf ???”

most of them would be in the entertainment btw but a few exceptions here and there

okay first of all a lot of the ways every one met every one would be different for the sake of like creative liberty sfakdj like dazai and atsushi would have met earlier ; i would probably not put akutagawa in the music industry so his relationship with dazai would be different - but i havent actually worked any of that out yet so ignore this

anyway

first of all - a key plot point would be that chuuya and dazai had a falling out - and i mean an actual falling out like they cant stand anyone bringing the other up

which really sucks for the ada becuz like chuuya’s music >>>>>>>>>>>

anyway here are what i think some of the characters would be like

chuuya: 

- he rose to fame as a teenager - he’s wildly known for his good music and his smexy face 

- a good portion of younger artists like his music and look up to him

- he likes writing his own music but sometimes feels conscious about more dark/personal songs

- had a falling out with dazai at some point becuz of this he does not like ppl listening to the music that comes from dazai’s friends but he does secretly like a lot of their songs

- has secret social media accounts to stalk dazai

- has cried becuz he convinced himself at some point about dazai ‘being with’ almost everyone at the agency (at different time periods) and was not right even once

- every single one of his friends knows that half of his music is obviously about dazai but no one knows how to bring it up

- every one’s favorite thirst trap

- you know how a product will appear for a .000000000000000001 sec w/ a bts member and immediately get sold out ?? yeah thats how it is for him

- he’s very strict about crediting ppl - like someone will say like two words to him that’ll inspire him and he’ll credit them as co-writer

//

dazai:

- im not sure if i want him to be a singer or not but he’s definitely involved in other aspects such as writing producing etc

- HATES chuuya 

- so much that he’s constantly thinking about him like the pathetic wet cat that he is

- he has forbidden everyone in the agency from listening to chuuya’s music

- there may or may not be a secret underground community within the ada that listens to chuuya’s music and fangirls over him and it may or may not include everyone but dazai

- when someones mad at dazai they blast chuuya’s music

- *listening to chuuya’s music, secretly* wait is this fucking song about me ? ... nah

- atsushi once wrote a song about dazai and how glad that he was that he had a brother figure like dazai and dazai cried for 24 hours straight 

- atsushi is no longer allowed to casually write about him 

- he acts really playful and aloof but he streams all of his friends music religiously and is secretly their biggest fan

- has tried to convince everyone he knows that sings to sing his suicide song - no one has agreed yet

- he has trouble finding inspiration but when he does he latches on - sometimes he’ll disappear for days and then come back with the most perfect songs 

- really only openly nice and supportive to atsushi tbh 

//

atsushi

- i want him to be with dazai earlier becuz i think it would let their dynamic really settle and atsushi trauma-response personality won’t be as prominent if that makes sense

- atsushi’s favorite musician is everyone :D no im kidding thats what he says but its actually chuuya 

- yeah he’s the younger brother of dazai (not sure if their kinda like brothers or just adopted brothers or what yet) and he’s in love with chuuya it runs in the family

- he’s in a band

- it’s called snow beneath the moonlight - it’s him, naomi, and junichiro

- maybe they’ll add lucy and/or kyouka but idk

- atsushi’s the main singer - juni’s on drums - naomi’s on guitar - but they switch around for the funsies

- im gonna create a separate section for them actually and keep the focus on atsushi for now

- atsushi’s solo music is....

- the first album he released came after weeks and weeks of people spotting him going to the studio in bright fun clothes - and he posted a lot of fun things

- so everyone thought it’d be a fun, motivational bop album

- it was so fucking sad like holy shit what the fuck atsushi go to fucking therapy

- really good tho :>

- like if you could u would inject his voice into ur veins 

- ya know lyn lapid’s song detached 

- yeah

- if atsushi sang that itd be about akutagawa btw im not saying anything but i am

- a lot of his clothes are styled by rashomon - a fashion brand owned by the akutagawa siblings - half because of however celeb - brand partnerships work - half because he somehow became ryuu’s muse 

- i want him to live with dazai - which is one of the reasons why they need to meet earlier because i had the mental image of atsushi talking about moving out and “yeah so i moved out of my brother’s place and ya know it’s strange. good at times but strange. Like i can do so many things i was never allowed to - like i can get wasted, try acid, invite someone for the night, buy chuuya nakahara posters, put up my chuuya nakahara posters, listen to chuuya nakahara’s music, own chuuya nakahara’s albums”

- since i think dazai would probably let atsushi drink as long as he’s not insane about it , throw kunikida in there too

- has a lot of songs about ryuu but he’ll never tell him

- ryuu listening to any love song by atsushi “wait is this fucking song about me??? ...nah”

- he may or may not be fucking ryuunosuke akutagawa i cannot deny or confirm anything

//

akutagawa:

- he owns a fashion brand with his sister solely becuz i showed him to my friend a few months ago and i said “sorry he dresses like a sad vampire victorian orphan thing” and she said “that is the sexiest man i have ever seen” or something like that its been a hot second

- may or may not be in love with atsushi you cant prove it - well okay sure he has collection after collection inspired by atsushi but-

- okay so maybe he listens to atsushi’s music when he’s coming up with designs but-

- okay so maybe he has all of atsushi’s albums hidden where atsushi cant find them but-

- okay so maybe atsushi’s been at his place enough for akutagawa to think ‘oh no what if he finds all the albums’ but-

- anyway

- he had a lot of goth, punk, etc, vibes and stuck to a dark, muted color range

- and then one day dropped a gold-violet colored bright not-at-all-like-his-previous-stuff collection and pretended it was normal

//

snow beneath the moonlight - band

members: atsushi, junichiro, naomi

- it was started in highschool by juni going to atsushi and being like ‘wanna start a band’ and atsushi, who was sleeping a little cardboard box in the spot where the sun was, was like “hmmm? um sure zzzzzzzzz” if that makes sense 

- naomi found out about it and joined before atsushi and juni could ask her

- so typically it’s atsushi on vocals, naomi on guitar, juni on drums, but they can be pretty versatile like atsushi’s usually got a guitar on him sorry i cant think of the words rn and juni can play the piano and naomi can do all of that

- naomi and juni sing too if they want - theyre not strict about roles 

- they wrote their music together in highschool 

- they still do - but now when their stuck they dont cry they ask others for help :)

- very sweet and fun vibes

- they literally just do whatever they want - if there is a style or genre they want to try they probably will

- naomi has to do a lot of the talking becuz juni gets uncomfy and atsushi’s attention span causes him to leave ppl mid conversations becuz he saw a cool leaf

okay

//

quick notes:

- not sure if oda and his orphans will be alive but itd be weird to kill them off in this au for me but idk

- oda’s a writer

- poe is also a writer 

- idk where to stick ranpo in becuz it hard for me to imagine him being anything but the world’s best detective

- i kind of want yosano to be in the industry but i also want her to be a doctor

- the ada is just fukuzawa’s adopted children that do whatever they want career wise becuz of him - nepotism babies btu theyre all orphans 

- kyouka’s a singer and so is kenji

- katai’s a producer

- kunikida’s someones manager but who knows whose he only ever babysits dazai and the rest of hte agency

- so as you can see im still working out the kinks of this au

- if you have suggestions or comments lemme know

- this would be equal parts skk and sskk and whatever the fuck everyone else’s got going on

- kouyou would also be a singer - im thinking classical

- q is that child artist that you love but cant help but wonder fi theyre being exploited

- lucy is trained in america and started off there but has recently moved to japan idk how thatll work for her

- sigma is a big atsushi fan btw

- the ada is so chaotic and disorganized and half the ppl there arent even in the industry but it’s just a cover for fukuzawa’s children so it still works

anyway i might continue this and update as i go

feel free to ask more about this au or give ideas or whatever <33

He sighs, leaning his head on my shoulder. "If I asked you to . . . Would you run away with me?"

"Yes."

~

Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya are in love.

Dazai convinces Chuuya to sneak out one day and takes him to the beautiful small town of Ihatovo. Chuuya is sure this is the best night of his life and Dazai agrees until he passes out and has to be taken to the hospital.

The doctors won't tell Chuuya what happened. That's the last time he sees Dazai.

~ 15 years Later ~

DAZAI OSAMU: has been hidden from the worldever since the indcident at age 15, by his aunt and father. But he's done with that! Against their orders and probably good sense he moves to the small town of Ihatovo to live a life he can enjoy. This includes reading depressing novels, attempting suicide, playing his violin, and eating more snow crab than anyone should. It does NOT include a certain ginger with an intense passion for life.

NAKAHARA CHUYA: now a doctor who left his stressful life in Tokyo behind for something more relaxing. Ihatovo was just supposed to be a stop on his journey but the familiar face of his old classmate or rather enemy Dazai Osamu draws him to the quaint little town. Chuya hates Dazai, because he left him. Dazai just disappeared and never spoke to him again. If he saw Dazai on the street he'd just walk right by.

He can't ignore his curiosity over what happened to his old love, but is it more than just curiosity?

He should at least make amends since he's here, right?

~

When Chuya opens up his medical practice Dazai becomes his most frequent patient. He comes in with everything from small coughs to suspiciously even cuts. Chuya wonders about his ex-classmate and as the two grow closer things are bound to get interesting.

(A/N: This is the fic mentioned in this post)

Bram is not a very good backpack

[thelesbododo]

I just saw a thing about a Dazai-Chuuya ability swap au and I realized just how much canon that would actually change

Their relationships with almost everyone around them would be drastically different

The sheep wouldn't have seen Chuuya as a weapon but instead a shield

The Ada would have been way more cautious around Dazai

Mori would not have only been so much more terrified of Dazai, he would have been a lot more upset/worried about him leaving

Their relationship with eachother would be almost completely different

Dead Apple would have had a whole new plot

||| AlteredPageAU!Sigma Character Sheet |||

Out of all the APAU characters, Sigma is definitely one of my favorites and one of the most interesting.

In the AU, he's affiliated with the Armed Detective Agency, with Kunikida as his mentor.

He's the archivist of the ADA— doing research for cases, taking notes during meetings, and storing information on past cases and current cases.

(Individual images)

Other important info on his character under the cut ↓

Things of note about his design/character:

His Gloves

The gloves that Sigma is wearing have a few important things to note. 1: they are ability suppressant. 2: The color choice of the gloves as well as the sleeves have symbolism pertaining to Sigma's character throughout the story.

The gloves allow his ability to be suppressed due to the fact that they contain Dazai's blood. Ranpo gave these gloves to Sigma after Sigma's entrance exam.

The main reason why Sigma's gloves are ability suppressant is for his own good. For one, I believe that he would not really like his ability very much. His only experience before the ADA was his canon backstory(except for the fact that Ranpo found him in the desert instead of Fyodor.) He was always forced to use his ability, and he cannot control his ability if he is forced to come into contact with another person.

Ranpo also suspects that later on, Fyodor will try to use Sigma's ability to gain info on the ADA. The gloves could prevent that from happening.

As for the design symbolism, it goes along with his sleeves. Throughout the plot, Sigma does commit some immoral acts after being manipulated by Fyodor. He truly does have good intentions, thinking that his actions are 'for the greater good.' His sleeves are white: his intentions are moral. The arms move the hands. His gloves are black: his direct actions are immoral. His moral intentions lead to and guide his immoral actions.

He hates Ranpo

This is mainly for two reasons: 1. He thinks that Ranpo views him as incompetent and that his role in the ADA isn't worth much. With how quickly Ranpo can solve cases, Sigma doesn't always have the opportunity to do his job to the fullest. It's unnecessary for him to do lots of research and take notes about certain cases

And 2, he doesn't like how Ranpo acts. He views Ranpo as childish and annoying. And with Sigma and the rest of the ADA's limited knowledge compared to Ranpo... Sigma tends to find some of Ranpo's suggestions to be absurd and even dangerous at times.

The Weapon in the Character Sheet

The knife present in his character info/design sheet is, in fact, the one that Fyodor uses to stab him in chapter 108 in the bsd manga. Do with that information as you will.

Parallels to Atsushi

This won't get a whole in-depth explanation here, but it will get its own post once I make an info sheet for Atsushi.

Put simply: Atsushi is in the DOA, and Sigma is in the ADA. Sigma views the ADA the same way Atsushi does in Canon. Atsushi views the DOA the same way Sigma does in Canon.

The specifcs do go beyond this, and will be explained later ^^

Poe's Archives Book

Ranpo being Ranpo, he predicted that Fyodor might try to use the page to redirect or even reverse reality. Before that happened, he had Poe write a basic book that detailed the different gifted organizations/ability users in Yokohama, foreign gifted organizations and their relations to the ADA, and the status of the DOA/Rats.

Ranpo found a way to carry this book into the rewritten reality of Fyodor's making and gave the archives book to Sigma. Sigma was instructed not to open it under any circumstances.

The archives book plays a big role in Dazai's suffering throughout the AU, considering how the fandom can not figure out/agree on how Poe and Dazai's abilities would interact.

-----------------

My next goal is to start concepting for Atsushi's design, so some sketches of that will be posted soon, as well as the DOA/Rats' relations to one another.
