#dazai dark era headcanon

[flowerwritter]

I'm writing a novel in which the protagonist is Two-Face's half-sister.

She's 16 and her romantic home will be Damian Wayne, and she ends up being bullied because of her brother.

But I'm not sure how to develop their relationship.

Something more protective or something more broken because I think he'd be a great brother.

Opinions

[i-eat-mold]

Do you ever think about whether Oda ever received a call in the middle of the night from Dazai? How Oda knew dazai was just too stubborn to ask anyone for help. Maybe just once he was worried about the kid, he said ‘to call him if he ever needed him, he didn’t even have to tell him why, if dazai called him he’d go and get him, any time, anywhere’. How Dazai brushed it off with a joke, but one night Oda receives a call in the middle of the night and when he sees the caller ID his heart drops, and as promised, Oda gets in the car and speeds out to get Dazai without a single word needed to be spoken. Do you ever think about how many nights Oda might have lost sleep because he was worried about this kid? and how he’d never forgive himself if he needed him but he wasn’t awake to pick up his call? Do you ever think about how oda might have looked at this boy and thought “how can they not see he’s just a kid? How can they see him as a demon? As a monster? All I see is a scared, alone little kid. How can they not see this? How can they not think it’s inhumane to let him live in a literal metal container?” Ever think how he saw the empty eyes of this kid and wanted to take him in? Give him a warm meal? A hug? A real bed? Ever think how he must’ve felt knowing he was his only real friend, and how he must have felt when he was dying in this kids arms, this lonely, sad, messed up kids arms, leaving him behind? How he cared so deeply about this kid that his final words were to plea him to get out of that darkness, to seek light? Ever think about how proud he must be of this kid, now grown, for staying alive and taking in other lost children the way he wanted to take him in? Ever think of that?

Could u do dazai x reader with ocd?

Featuring: Osamu Dazai x gn! ocd reader

Content: sfw, fluff, slightly angst, mention of some swearing words, I believe that's it?,

Author's note: hiiii anon, so sorry for the late response, I swear I was working on it since I received it. I'm also working on all of yall's requests - I'm not sure if you wanted a fic, drabble, or headcanon so I just did a rock paper scissors.

Word count: 1k

❥ Dazai is a smartass, quick witted even, and don't forget that he works at the agency as a detective so of course he will quickly notice how you constantly worry about things going wrong—whether it’s leaving your water bottle uncapped or making a mistake at work. He sees you zoning out at the office, caught in a loop of anxious thoughts, and quickly deduces that it’s more than just everyday stress.

❥ At first, before really getting to know you, he was just a quiet observer. But he never judged, not even once. He’s got his own mental shit to deal with, so he knows how fucked up minds can be. He’d make mental notes of your quirks, just in case he needed to handle them during a mission or whatever.

❥ As he gets to know you better, he figures out how sweet and lovely you are—unlike the twisted side of your mind. It’s like an addiction for him; he craves that balance. He enjoys being friends with someone who has their own dark side, just like he does. Maybe you’ll understand where he's coming from, push him to be a better version of himself.

❥ It’s only after your relationship becomes official that he feels entitled to meddle in your problems. He believes that getting involved in such matters is only appropriate once there’s a solid, established connection between you. Until then, he's just an observer.

❥ You were the one who approached him first, explaining that you have OCD. You felt more anxious than you’d anticipated, having considered telling him many times before but never managing to do so because your mind held you back. He remained calm, and it was only when he revealed that he had known all along that you felt embarrassed. In his typically laid-back manner, Dazai might say, “Oh, I’ve known about your OCD for a while now. You don’t need to be embarrassed—it's actually quite endearing. It doesn’t change a thing between us. We’ll work through it together, and honestly, it’s no big deal.”

❥ One day, while on a mission with him and Atsushi, you were deeply focused on analyzing the crime scene. You managed to uncover evidence that even Dazai had missed, piecing together how the victim was killed with remarkable accuracy.

❥ Needless to say that dazai was surprised by how quickly you cracked the complex case. Even after the murderer was arrested, you continued to ramble about additional details, anxiously checking the file in your hand and worrying about missing something, though there was nothing left to find. Eventually he stopped you, gently holding both your wrists. As you looked up, apologising profusely, he simply shushed you, saying, "It's fine. The case is solved, and we’ve caught the murderer."

❥ Atsushi the poor kid he is watched the exchange between you and Dazai with curiosity. When you reluctantly handed him the file with a nod, Atsushi leaned in and whispered to Dazai, asking if you were alright. Dazai simply smiled and replied, "They're just the perfect detective, doing their job flawlessly."

❥ Dazai is surprisingly attentive to your needs when it comes to your OCD. If you’re stuck in a loop of checking something multiple times, he’ll gently steer you away from it by engaging you in conversation or distracting you with a task. He might even playfully mock himself to make you laugh, using humor to ease your anxiety. “Looks like I’ve accidentally left my keys at home for the fifth time this week. Isn’t that a catastrophe?”

❥ If you’re particularly anxious about a big case or an important event, Dazai might surprise you with a comforting gesture. He could leave little notes or small tokens of reassurance in places you’d find them, like a hidden message in your desk drawer or a comforting snack in your bag.

❥ When you’re feeling overwhelmed, Dazai has a knack for knowing when you need space and when you need company. He might give you space to deal with your thoughts but always makes sure you’re not alone. He could show up with your favorite coffee or a calming playlist, knowing just when to intervene.

❥ Dazai might not always express it directly, but he has a deep understanding of how your OCD affects you and often subtly adapts his behavior to support you. He might avoid making sudden movements or loud noises if he knows it could trigger your anxiety. His sensitivity to your needs shows how much he cares.

❥ Dazai would likely offer reassurances in his own, less conventional way. Dazai might not be that sentimental boyfriend but he makes casual but heartfelt statements that affirm his love, such as “You’re the only one who can put up with my nonsense,” or “I can truly be myself with you, without a second thought.”

❥ Dazai would be more mindful of his humor, staying away from jokes or comments that might trigger your OCD. He might use humor in a way that’s supportive and aligns with your sense of comfort rather than distress.

❥ If someone makes fun of you, Dazai would likely handle it with a blend of nonchalance and protective instinct. He might casually brush off the mockery with a witty comment, like, “Oh, they’re just jealous of your intellect,” showing his confidence in you. If needed, he would also step in to defend you.

Port Mafia Soukoku but Dazai’s heart hiccups and short-circuits the moment he sees Chuuya doing a full split while working on his laptop (“Why are you looking at me like a mackerel, ha?! I’m exercising and working. It’s called multitasking!”) and realizing that—

Oh.

Chuuya’s kind of hot. And he is gay panicking.

Dazai: You are… flexible.

Chuuya, thinking he’s misheard: Well, yeah? I’m behind with the paperwork and I should be at the gym now.

Dazai: Oh.

Chuuya: Why? Ya have a problem?

Dazai: 🧍

Chuuya:

Dazai, Oh my god he’s really hot what do I do now: …Ew.

Chuuya: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY EW?!

[graciegrumps]

15 dazai's camera roll but it's just like......

Like that.... at that specific angle.......... just big, black eyes far too big for his skull and an overall off-putting vibe.

Oh! And there's also Chuuya 'cause when is there not Chuuya (affextionate)

....and Akutagawa

Ango...

Oda's in there too...

[frostlineprince]

[calmlb]

one of my favorite headcanons is that Dazai defected right around Chuuya’s birthday

we don’t know exactly when he left, but we do know it was after october 26 & before june 19, & according to clues in dark era it sounded like it was around springtime in yokohama

idk enough about yokohama weather to know exactly what month it was but imagine…

Chuuya had been sent on a mission in the west for 6 weeks. he returned late in the afternoon on April 28th– just in time to ring in his 19th birthday with his shitty partner.

because why not? he’s got nothing better to do.

he’s even got a bottle of 1989 Petrus waiting to be popped open.

he reports to Mori for debriefing & all he can think about is how beating the mackerel in that racing game they’ve been playing while he was away would be the perfect way to start off his 19th year.

but when he turns to leave, the Boss stops him, telling him there’s something that he should know…

Dazai disappeared 2 weeks ago, & has now been declared a traitor to the mafia.

Chuuya’s blood runs cold. he doesn’t know how he made it back to his apartment— head muddled by hurt. shock. confusion. exhaustion.

he tosses his coat on the back of the couch & the first thing he sees is the bottle of vintage Petrus— still waiting for the celebration.

and celebrate he did.

Chuuya celebrated his liberation from that waste of bandages he called a partner.

he celebrated the success of the solo mission he’d just returned from.

he celebrated the end of the reign of the infamous double black.

he celebrated the fact that he’d survived 4 years of partnership with that shitty Dazai.

he celebrated Dazai’s freedom, which would likely save his life… the freedom Chuuya hadn’t been able to attain. he’d been left behind in the darkness by the one person who got it.

the one who believed in & fought for Chuuya’s humanity when no one else did.

Chuuya celebrated his 19th birthday. alone. again.

(he hadn’t even said goodbye— hadn’t asked Chuuya to come with hi-)

no.

Chuuya shook away those thoughts. he needed to clear his head. he wiped the back of his hand across his eyes & stumbled drunkenly across the room to grab his keys.

he made his way to the garage where his car was parked, clicking the button to unlock it as he approac-

BOOM!

Chuuya was thrown backwards onto his ass, barely able to catch himself in his drunken stupor. he blinked through bleary vision at the flames that were engulfing his car.

and wasn’t that just par for the course? the icing on his nonexistent birthday cake.

so much for that drive.

Chuuya watched the flames burn, & maybe it was the alcohol talking, but it felt almost symbolic— like closing this chapter of his life. all he could do now was move forward. just like he always did.

but not tonight.

tonight he would stumble back to his apartment & collapse into bed.

(in his inebriation, he hadn’t even noticed the black fabric burning up right along with his car)

he woke up the next morning, freshly 19 with a killer hangover, a smoldering car, & a missing ex-partner.

when he found the nearly empty wine bottle, he was kind of glad he hadn’t taken that drive…though his memory from last night was a bit fuzzy— what the hell had happened to his car?

his phone chimed with a text from Kouyou.

happy birthday, lad. don’t do anything stupid.

Chuuya couldn’t help the twitch of his lips. there were still people here who cared about him.

not long after this, he would be promoted to executive & decide that the Port Mafia was his family.

but for today, he would nurse his hangover & curse a certain mackerel’s name as he beat every high score between them in that stupid racing game.

happy freaking birthday to him.

the car bombing was inspired by this post bc it’s canon to me <3

[akirayuri]

Post fire down ( 15 ) Soukoku holding a cashier at gun point as they rob a pharmacy off it's painkillers, antiseptics, bandages and surgical alcohol and a whole fucking row of gummy bears, cause they lost their wallets. The poor guy is torn between being scared to death and genuinely concerned as the two kids hold a fucking gun to his head ( one looking like he's straight out of a vintage horror flim with bandages and dark clothes and all, with a face like a fucking dead doll or some shit. And the other cosplaying a street racer, well. Yeah. With the most dirtiest, Spitfire mouth to exist.) While they rob candies and medical supplies, leaving blood trails in their footsteps and tiny hand prints.

[whathappenedtobees]

Dazai: If you ever disrespect me again! I will eat your shower curtains.

Chuuya: My shower curtains are glass.

Dazai: Cruchity crunch bitch. You think that's gonna stop me?

[tulipe-rose]

Dark era skk hc: Chūya and Dazai had matching belts that were too long for anyone's waist that were one of the few items they found in a raided house (they doubled as a weapon they could use against each other when needed). Chūya refused to wear it, but he always had it with him. Dazai would carry it around and would use it for bizarre jobs, but he never wore it, even after defecting. He never got around to throwing it out.

When the agency were making Atsushi an outfit, Dazai decided to give it to Atsushi; it felt nostalgic seeing him question it's height. It suited him well, and it would be better to finally see this belt actually be worn instead of used for anything but what it was made for. I wonder if Chūya would notice if he and Atsushi were to meet.

(Chūya began wearing the belt everyday since he lost his other one during a fight, and no one dared to comment on it.)

[sorcerersandskillusers]

Ok this is getting ridiculous, How the hell do people actually think Dazai is buff?!?!

Dazai, who hates work and physical effort.

Dazai who goes days at a time without eating for no reason.

Dazai who eats nothing but canned crab, MSG and whiskey, and whose cooking can make you loose your memory for several days.

Dazai who gets thrown around like he weighs nothing by both his partners.

Dazai who exhibits signs of both clinical depression and self loathing and regularly tries to commit suicide!

Yeah that Dazai takes care of himself and works out regularly.

Dazai's constitution is somewhere between tissue paper and cold spaghetti, while I think he's fast and has a crazy pain tolerance, he is about as far from in shape as you can get.

Dazai wears a big coat, and is super lanky, thats it.

[nixnephili]

From my Fyo!Atsushi A.U.

Osamu Dazai

Guess who's back~☆

Looking through some Dazai concepts~ WHY DO I ALWAYS MAKE THEM HOT- I don't even like Dazai damn it-

Anyway, tell me which one of these speaks to you guys most~

-as for the eyepatch I imagine it was a lot of angst...

I've thought, what if Akutagawa snapped at one point? Years after they fled the mafi - he finds out Dazai had left Gin behind on purpose. Because he felt most indebted to Aku for the horror he put him through..and the deal he made with Chuuya wouldn't tolerate him taking them both.

That's a point where a now independent Akutagawa, disregarding Dazai's previous authority, who now recognized he's stronger than hos mentor - would snap.

That eyepatch? Covers an actual injury.

"Now you've got a reason to cover that eye. Bastard. You don't change- you never have!" - Akutagawa

........

-Nix🌙

[cornflowersandspoons]

Me: Okay this will be nothing but a quick sketch....

Me, two days later: *is drawing individual freckles on Dazai's face*

[sickficideas]

hellooo

okay i think most of us like odasaku taking care of a sick/injured dazai (i don’t know if you've read the day i picked up dazai but he literally can’t go two seconds without going 'oh that’s a child') BUT i love the idea of ango stepping in too 😭 im imagining he gets stressed when dazai shows up clearly unwell and maybe even teams up with oda too -who has seen it all atp and is not that worried since he knows how dazai is- but ango clearly gets worried and dazai makes fun of him for it but appreciates it somehow ??? sorry for the rambling 😭😭

I'm waiting for an official translation on The Day I Picked Up Dazai but I absolutely love the little bits I've seen of it and I love this as a concept 😭😭 I also really love Ango not 100% computing Dazai's age because he only meets him in work settings most of the time so when he's sick and being taken care of he's like okay this is truly a teenager wow. Ango getting overly stressed about Dazai's condition even if it's just a cold or something and Oda has to assure him he's fine and it's nothing to worry about and Dazai giggles and calls him mom as a joke...my family my tragic broken apart family

[bsdstrayrats]

16! Soukoku headcanon.

Between missions and battles and a lot of trauma, Dazai and Chuuya still had bits and pieces of average teenage experiences. For instance, Dazai LOVES prank wars with Chuuya. The ginger wasn’t too fond of the first time Dazai pranked him, but now they both go as hard as possible to prank each other.

After a long day of work, Chuuya heads to his apartment, opening the front door and walking into the eerily silent and dark living space. Sighing, he walks in, closing the door behind him. A stumbling noise interrupted the silence, causing Chuuya to be on high alert. Swiftly the red headed boy grabbed his gun from his waistband and shifted to flick the light on. Scanning the room, no one is in sight, yet he knows there’s someone there. Suddenly a loud “POP” is heard as glitter spews out of multiple directions onto the him. Chuuya drops his gun and starts coughing from the glitter entering his mouth, eyes and nose. “AAHA Chuuuuuya~ you’re almost pretty now!!” An obnoxious and well known voice is heard, entering the living space from the kitchen. The voice, belonging to the one and only Dazai, speaks up again “Oh chibi~ I mixed glue into the glitter, I hope you’re happy being sparkly!” Chuuya responds by launching himself at Dazai. Jumping onto him to put glitter onto him, and then starts punching the shit out of him. Chuuya yelling vulgarities at the taller boy, Dazai just laughs trying to dodge as they both fall to the ground.

That night they both scrubbed their bodies with as much force as possible yet both returned to work the next day still covered in glitter.
