#same concept except it doesnt talk. i cant remember what that toy was!! i only remember the phrase 'in my spaghetti'

[today-i-am-thinking-about]

the childrens book ketchup on your cornflakes

[clutchpowers]

Sooooo... i wanted to stick this little rambly thing at the bottom of the redraw but it would have made it look UGLY so im doing this separately... just wanna talk about the whole thing and What Not.

TLDR: its been a slash positive ride thats been worth it to try "something new" every year and my favorite piece out of all of them is the 9th. also for the curious heres the comparison of the 5th anni piece to the recent one (2018 -> 2023)

anyway. personal post time.

oh where to begin *rocks on my rocking chair* i guess it would be with the 5th anniversary piece...at the time it had been a long while since i did lineless art and i thought it would be cool to try it again for that one so i did by redrawing an old piece from 2014... that was the first "finished piece" i made of Them. i think i even made it into a wallpaper for myself lmao. anyway after i posted it i was like "aw man i should draw something every year until the 10th" but i thought yeah right. im going to forget next year like the idiot i am. but i Some How managed to do one every year... th worms got me... i honestly didnt think id make it all the way to the 10th but i did!! AND WITHOUT MISSING A DAY EXCEPT FOR THE 7TH WHERE I WAS A WEEK LATE???? UNREAL especially when fun fact! every year i had no idea what i wanted to do! all i knew for sure is that i wanted each piece to be out of my comfot zone to push me to do something a little different. unfortunately the subjects tm where always the same so it feels a little. samey. but these are my celebratory posts I GET TO ONLY POST ABOUT THE OTP SUPER BLORBOS OF ALL TIME

the 6th anniversary was a redraw of that one scene. you know the one. the helicopter one. fucking hate that scene btw it actually causes me psychic damage i cant watch with the audio or ill scream. but it is my favorite scene of mine despite all the horrors it causes <3 and i wanted to redraw it as if it was a cartoon... like i had taken screencaps from the lcu cartoon in my head. i still remember the backgrounds being such a pain in the ass. honestly id like to go back and redo this one one day too or do something similar to the concept because its a fun one that i always saw done growing up and i wanted to try it myself.

for the 7th anniversary you can see the turn.. no more humans... return to lego... i was getting a little more confident in drawing them in the lego form so i did another redraw this time with the ending!! honestly i still like this one and how it looks even with how late it was but i wanted to test my confidence and do a real True and Finished piece with COLORED LINES and EVERYTHING!!!!! im glad i ended up taking the turn because for the LONGEST TIME i wanted to try and draw them as lego so bad because all i did was draw them as humans and its funny because now its the exact opposite. glad this piece was kinda the solidification in my head that yeah okay im a bit better at drawing the stylized lego toy now i can keep drawing them like this without feeling like im going to want to delete this in 2 weeks.

the 8th anniversary one is so weird. somewhere toward the beginning of the year it got into my head that i wanted to do a comic of them but time/school would have gotten in the way so i ended up opting for a page. another redraw of the ending scene which honestly out of all of them this is my least favorite one and its solely because its all so off. i def could have formated it better so the background shot doesnt take up the entire fucking page but then again im not a comic guy and this was my first time so the layout was bound to look HORRID but this is something id like to come back to ive had the idea of making like a genuine short comic about them since FOREVER and now that im a bit more experienced (lying) i would like to make one day!!!! just gotta stop getting caught up in my scripts!! and going in circles!! Because im obviously not a writer and i keep getting first-hand embarrassment from these!! but ill get over it one day lol.

OH THE 9TH ANNIVERSARY PIECE MY BELOVED. ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES ACTUALLY i love this stupid thing so much you have no idea.i know its re-using lineless but i just loved the idea of what it would look like lineless AND IT CAME OUT SO PERFECT I LOVE IT SO MUCH obv it needs a few touch-ups so the main issues dont stand out to me but god. i love this piece so much. idk what came out of me to make this but its so good ill never get over it. and the little lego them as a cake topper ITS JUST SO CUTE I DONT HAVE MUCH TO SAY OTHER THAN I LOVE THIS SO MUCH SORRY

finally. the 10th anniversary piece. oh my god. okay. i need everyone to understand this. i had woken up with this fucking Unbearable pounding headache that was trying to kill me. my body the entire day wanted me to stop and lie down, but last night i was already done with a good chunk of it and all i had to do that day was finish some lines and the coloring?? i literally don't remember all i remember is my body actively trying to shut down and force me to stop and sleep which i took a nap? didnt help. so i said fuck it im finishing this. i was. an entire goddamn corpse arched over my laptop. i was so delirious the entire time its a fucking miracle it even came out as good as it did but honestly. i still hate how it fucking looks. like you can TELL when i gave up (the shading) and it sticks out like a sore fucking thumb to me and it pisses me off because i knew i could have done so much better if i wasnt being stricken down by gods hand and his every attempt to get me to rest. idk like im generally proud ot it, with this one i wanted to go out with a bang tm so i tried to draw every important and relevant character instead of ALL of them like I was originally planning LMAO but ah well. maybe one day when im faster at drawing. this one i defiantly wanna go back and touch up but i everytime i open the file i can see 40 more things wrong with it and it drives me nuts. so ill just have to wait for when im ready. i guess.

can i just say though. the improvement is crazy. it always catches me off guard because tbh i uh. dont like my own art. im getting better at not fucking hating it because i can pinpoint everything wrong with it but whenever i see the side by sides it always surprises me. i always dont think im improving but then i see it and its like wow i really am getting better! i still suck at 3000 things but im getting better! and its overall just a nice thing to see after having drawn them for as long as i have... the power of the worms is strong and has ruined my brain...... speaking of i know ive said a few times that i fucking hate certain pieces, not just LCU related ones but almost anything i post, but if you love them and are able to look at them with a twinkle in your eye then thank you. genuinely. i honestly love looking over the tags of people exploding and saying nice things. it warms my cold little heart and im glad there are people out there that genuinely love some of the things what i do! even if its just fanart and its just their blorbo. thank you for sticking around even tho all i do is draw my otp super blorbos :'^) this game means the world to me and im glad like more than 2 people wanna spread it around.

to wrap back around to the anniversary stuff and speaking of big love to the people out there THE FREAKING EPIC ZINE i was just a small thing but it came out amazing even for how small it was thank you to the contributors and thank you to everyone whos downloaded it!! its still getting the occasional and i love getting the notif in my email about it. i love that there are still people out there who wanna see it and all the hard work everyone put into it to celebrate the games 10th just thank you again i really does mean alot to me ALSO IF YOU HAVENT CHECKED IT OUT PLEASE DO IT IS 100% WORK YOUR TIME AND ITS DIGITAL WITH PRINT AT HOME STICKERS AND YOU CAN KEEP IT AND LOOK AT IT FOREVER

uh to end this off....would I like to do this again..... I mean I kinda am? by that i mean ill do the big numbers (15, 20, 25, 30, 40, etc) till the day i freaking die!!!! but yeah no countdown stuff ever again!!!!! sorry :^( it was super fun to do though!!!! and im glad i did it that piece is the conclusion to the whole thing but that doesnt mean ill stop drawing them. duh. theyre my characters now! but heres to many more anniversaries and to hopefully another game! or to just see them again in any other lego media! or even better... a mischaracterized cameo in ninjago!

[sanguinarius-archive]

im not that familiar with treatsforbeats i watched like. a few videos but other than that i know nothing! but i would be glad to hear you info dump!

there is SO MUCH..... im gonna put a read more below because this turned out to be way longer than i expected. but you asked for me to infodump so here goes

okay so. treatsforbeasts, i dont know what the whole meaning behind the channel is. i cant specifically say what the goal of the channel’s content is because its all in my interpretation. but i do know that there are meanings behind each video as silly as it may seem and im just gonna list them off here (note that not all videos will be included since i may not be able to interpret every one, also this is going from earliest to most recent)

1. men with small hands carry very little treats to give to little girls with the sharpest little teethinterpretation of this video is csa/child sex trafficking. “little treats” refers to pills or some form of drug (small, makes u trip). however the “sharpest little teeth” could represent the little girl fighting back.

2. mom ordered ants for my birthdaychild abuse. mother forces son to watch and/or possibly engage in inappropriate activity with her husband.

3. i love jesusobviously a dark parody of christianity/catholicism. shows how blindly some fanatical christians/catholics will follow their beliefs, to the point where they no longer truly “follow” it as theyve warped the message to fit their own morbid desires (using christianity/the bible to excuse hatred and judgment upon others).

4. i me you love godanother dark parody of christianity/catholicism. i believe it mocks how fanatical christians/catholics focus only on the negative aspects of the bible instead of learning the true messages, as many of the words used are from the bible and are negative words.

5. behdsPROBABLY just a silly video but, i think it represents how people let negativity embed itself into their lives and complain about it even though it’s so easy to just let go of it.

6. jaffreymocking some sitcoms for how dumb and repetitive they can be.

7. kiss papa’s mustachepossibly child abuse, again.

8. storytimereferences/implies child abuse. storytime is also the name of one of treatsforbeasts’ songs on his Sanguinarius - Sin Nomine album.

9. hymns for him (1 + 2)just total parody albums of christian rock. vocals make you feel like youre dying but its actually kinda good to listen to in some parts

10. i screaming inside my headRoii (the character)’s first appearance. also probably symbolizes how depressing some kinds of music are

11. felines have nine livesnot sure but i feel like this is a warrior cats reference, in complete and total honesty (dont watch it if you dont like c/at d/eath though, its fictional but. yeah)

12. beastsreflection of society as a whole

then there’s. the two short films and sin nomine. so i’m gonna delve into that now and be warned, it’s fuckin long

treatsforbeasts is the self-titled short film and the first longest video on the treatsforbeasts channel. basically what i get from this is that treatsforbeasts, the channel itself, symbolizes an actual channel that chauncy (the child character in the short film, who is portrayed as a literal oral fleshlight with a body) watches. he consumes these concepts, such as internalizing misogyny (claw-paw skit), toxic masculinity (can i like balloons skit) and being exposed to a normalization of christianity (heaven and hell skit). there’s also a skit in which a spider binge eats and then proceeds to throw it up, which chauncy actually mimicks when his father brings him food.his father very much disapproves of these messages being shown on tv. he tells chauncy in regards to the claw-paw skit, when chauncy belittles the female character, “that’s not very nice, now is it”, and says “you can like ballons, you can love balloons if you want to”. his father goes on long tangents about how many institutions have normalized and inherited the concepts of christianity, and that it is one of the contributing factors of violence in the world. he references colonization, the holocaust, and in general mentions minorities.we learn that the father actually ended up being a father to chauncy in the first place due to (nsfw tw) masturbating in a sock to a picture of robert smith, and 9 months later chauncy was born. so technically there is no mother. the father talks about the meaning of life, and how everyone on the inside is a little bit of a freak, but there’s only two real ways you can accept that: 1) realize that your freakishness gives you a special lense through with you see the world and aid it in the ways the sane and happy ones probably cant, and 2) realize that real way number 1 is just lying to itself and that youre still a somewhat integral part of the lives of those you care for so deeply. he says that choosing which way to live really reverts back to the meaning of life, that you cannot live day by day believing there’s no reason to. “but whatever reason you give yourself to live, [...] you do it, because it is correct to live.”

sin nomine comes after the first short film, but i’ll delve into that after because really it touches on many many of the points and interpretations here.

the second short film, the beast is dead, was released just this year on valentines day! i think the main focus of the short film ranges from relationships to just once again a mockery of christianity/catholicism. once again it starts off with a father and his son. there is no mother figure present though she’s said to have left, due to the father watching too much “birdies”, a show, which i think is a metaphor for porn addiction. the father is implied to being prone to neglecting the son’s wants and not really caring for him, being disappointed in him, etc. etc..something important about the beast is dead is that it uses masks to portray those who are “followers” and those who are not. the father, interestingly enough, does not wear a mask. he seems to acknowledge what his son is saying when he goes on philosophical rants as well, but disregards them as nonsense and ends up leaving after bonking him with the stupid spike (metaphor for how parents will shut their children up by giving them a phone or toy to play with).the three other characters who don’t use masks in the beast is dead are Roii, Tom, and Doctor Zoughth (pronounced Zoth). Roii makes a comeback, finally! but this time he’s singing a song called “i love the sound of screaming babies”. it symbolizes how men will impregnate women and then run off, whether or not because they fantasize about pregnant women. it could also be a want of seeing a hurt child (hence the line “i know that all of you watching must think i’m insane, for loving when something so innocent is in so much pain”).however another interesting factor is that, the characters who don’t have masks, aside from Tom and the father, have red eyes at some point. this is a metaphor for how they’ve lost their humanity. Roii, at some point in the music video scene, only has one red eye whereas his other is normal. this hints at how part of him has lost his humanity while the other is still in tact.the other character that has red eyes is Dr Zoughth, but instead of him having only one red eye, both his eyes are red. this doesnt show until later though when he’s taken Tom away from the masked characters (followers). Dr Zoughth is very much self-aware. he is not blind, but simply has lost his humanity. Tom tries to reach out to him, to get him to think differently, that maybe resorting to coping with emotional struggles by worshipping something simple like flesh or something more higher than himself and forgetting his own mortality isn’t the healthiest way to live. but Dr Zoughth, having been long gone already, does not accept this and executes Tom.his own personal disciples grow tired of his tyranny and kill him and perform a ritual of some kind, disposing of his body (in the river i think, not sure). this entire ending of the film is basically the title, the beast is dead. but, i believe the beast is not dead, personally, because someone like Zoughth will always live on in other people, other beasts.there’s also a scene called grandma hespar and i think it implies how little people focus on sexual abuse towards men (when it’s from women).

anyways, with that being said, it’s time for sin nomine.

so now that i’ve explained pretty much all of treatsforbeasts to you, and whoever else is reading, it’s clear that the person behind this has issues with christianity (or catholicism), and child abuse. the person behind treatsforbeasts is Jordan Diniz, as he is also the person behind sanguinarius.

sin nomine is a very personal reflection of jordan’s life from what i gather. it depicts his struggles with how he views the world around him, whether that be due to personal experiences or not. at first i interpreted most of sin nomine to be the story of someone who is lgbt, but with jordan himself coming to me and telling me he is straight (POLITELY), it’s clear that is not the case.

so it most likely has to do with trauma. either religious or not, or both. it even says in the song storytime (remember i mentioned it earlier?), “fast hand, white hot trauma, reverberates inside the skull. innocence and intellect raped, reveals a view of a darker world. flesh on flesh, the bonds of affection - confused for the bonds of submission and fear. self-hatred and mistrust repel all beauty that comes near.” i don’t like to say that this solidifies a personal experience, but it’s highly possible.

a lot of sin nomine kind of goes over the same points in different ways, but it makes you think. i definitely feel like something happened to jordan at some point in his life but that is his story and it’s not my place to truly tell, since i don’t know him personally.

there’s also the other channel, adrianturcher. it has videos with seemingly no real purpose except for there being two videos with the same names of two songs on sin nomine, “nex memoria” and “a fetish for psychos”. nex memoria is just a compilation of clips that seem to symbolize the process of death (nex memoria is a latin phrase which very roughly translates to “memory’s death”). a fetish for psychos is a bunch of old clips from parties and shows that possibly jordan himself attended. they’re from 2002 judging by the date in the video. the lyrics in the song “a fetish for psychos” also seem to hint at these events, so it’s possibly that it’s like looking back on happy memories that make you feel sad instead or something. the song also might possibly reference a mother at the beginning.

sanguinarius also has its own channel simply called sanguinarius. there’s the music video for divine comedy (one of the songs on sin nomine) and a cover of because you’re young by david bowie, posted on his birthday a year after his death.

anyway, that’s. pretty much all i have to say. jordan diniz is a fuckin’ mastermind, he’s really good and cool and he’s very kind from my experience talking with him a couple times. he supports the gays as well!

sooooo, treatsforbeasts does have some very creepy/unsettling moments in its content but its EXTREMELY good and i recommend getting into it if you can. 100/10

[karihigada]

yakuzaAU

karihigada

haha or talk about yakuza!AU?

spoontasti

I could attempt to write

karihigada

uhhhh how about izaya still goes to normal school just like akane but the same as with her everyone

keeps their distance and is respectful out of fear

not shizuo thoug ;)

and its such a wild change for izaya that there is soneone who isnt afraid of his status

and of course izaya also isnt afraid of his stenght

that would be a very interesting change in their dynamic

spoontasti

That could work

karihigada

that there would be a legit reason for shizuo to be wary of izaya but he still isnt

and maybe shiki/akabayashi dont like this brat boy disrespecting the heir and try to rough him up a

bit/send goons to rough him up

so its no longer izaya who sends gangs after shizuo

and maybe in this instance izaya is actually really afraid that the one person who isnt afraid of his

status would be taken away

so maybe he fights with shizuo against the thugs (the thugs of course dont know who he is and just

want to beat him up as well)

so at the end of the day both are bruised but victorious and sulk to shinra

and on the couch izaya explains that he didnt have anyhting to do with the thugs, that were all his

dad's underlings doing and he doesnt condone of it

and he lowkey says he is thankful that shizuo is at least one person in his life who is not afraid to

give him lip

and shizuo just kisses him to shut him up

"like i could ever be afraid of some little flea, no matter who your parents are"

karihigada

and the next day izaya comes home and tells shiki, that punk brat you wanted to get rid of for

disrespecting us? im dating him. what are you gonna do about that now?

spoontasti

Cute

karihigada

and shiki just exasperatedly shakes his head because he cant really say anythign to that. maybe just

a sarcastic 'use protection'

and then he goes drinking with akabayashi and laments his life coices and ungrateful brats xDD

spoontasti

If it wasn't high school but later, I think there could be more surprises

karihigada

yeah, later in life it would be more serious because it would no longer be children fighting but an

adult getting on the wrong foot with the yakuza

maybe AU where awakusu tries to hire shizuo for his skills?

spoontasti

Like Shizuo being hired as a body guard or getting in trouble with Izaya

Like breaking something valuable

karihigada

and shizuo really needs the money and maybe doesnt realize right away that its yakuza but has a

bad feeling. but really needs the money

spoontasti

Or beating up how men

karihigada

*breaking something valuable* now i have ouran high school host club flash backs

xDDDDDDDDDDDD

spoontasti

Lol, same principle

Manipulating Shizuo

karihigada sent a GIF

but yeah, being hired as bodyguard and of course meeting izaya

and shizuo imediately dislikes his attitude but izaya is imediately hooked on the strong hunk xD

spoontasti

But I doubt he'd be willing to work for someone like Izaya

karihigada

he wouldnt work directly for izaya, jsut the awakuzu

izaya is just a package deal that he has to deal with haha

or he gets into trouble with the yakuza as an outsider, like beating up men and izaya pretends to

want to help him but not disclosing that he is part of awakusu so he strings shizuo along

sorta like that other AU we had a while ago where shizuo and izaya get close in highschool but

izaya was just using him al along, remember?

spoontasti

Hmmmm

karihigada

haha i like this AU. so many possibilitys

spoontasti

I think another way for it to work would be if Shizuo fucks something up really bad punishable by

death, but Izaya doesn't want that so he makes a deal with Shizuo (this was all Izaya's plan from the

start)

But Shizuo's debt just keeps going up

Because he has zero chill with izaya

karihigada

'punishable by death' you mean something that would make the yakuza make him wear cement

shoes?

spoontasti

Yeah or human trafficking

karihigada

so izaya keeps him in his deabt but also safe from the yakuza

so shizuo is stuck with him because there is no way out

spoontasti

Yuppies

karihigada

would also be an interesting exploration of consent and relationship dinamics because izaya clearly

has mre power here

would be an interesting take on their relationship

spoontasti

Until he dies or Izaya gets bored which will never happen

karihigada

like yeah, of course shizuo always says he isnt afraid of the fallout were he to ever dock izaya one

spoontasti

Yeah

karihigada

but deep inside he is aware that maybe they would also go after kasuka or others

spoontasti

Yup go after his family

And they know about kasuka

And that stops Shizuo from fighting back

karihigada

so would is just stay this fucked up their whole lifes or would izaya soften up?

spoontasti

Hmmmmmmm could get either worse if Izaya likes to watch him suffer or better if he likes him

Like he would want to turn him into a mobster

Monster

karihigada

and mobster xD

spoontasti

Yeah lol, So maybe he would try to get him to kill people for him which doesn't work

karihigada

for once i actually dont want to go the route of most suffering xD

i say let izaya soften up and them have a normal relationship haha

spoontasti

It could be really bad at first but then he softens up

karihigada

but yes also keep telling me about izaya trying to get shizuo to kill

maybe izaya really nearly pushes shizuo to the breaking point

spoontasti

But Shizuo won't do it even if it means his death

karihigada

and shizuo completely breaks down after beating some punk to near death with his bare heands

spoontasti

Yeah

karihigada

and izaya realizes that this is not what he wanted for shizuo after all (like in ACI)

and starts being nicer

and try to mend his past behavior

spoontasti

Yup

karihigada

could also be a unique cahracter exploration for izaya

he relizes that he has complete control over another human being and how he treads him defines his

own worth as a human and he doesnt want to be a monster

so he realizes he should stop making shizuo into a monster because at the end of the day there

would only be one monster and thats him

spoontasti

Sounds yummy

karihigada

i just realized we have very little fanfics who explore izayas humanity

even though thats also a core theme of the original drrr

but we also have very little fics who truly explore shizuo becoming a monster------

except one, hummmmmmm? *smiles coyly*

spoontasti

Hahah

karihigada sent a GIF

no but god, this AU begins to sound amazing~~ <3

spoontasti

Glad to be of service

Yeah especially them getting away with law and murder

Like the environment makes it possible

karihigada

i always think law is such a unique concept in drrr becuase its the REAL WORLD

spoontasti

And very likely

karihigada

not some fantasy setting where you murder people for fun in the wilderness

spoontasti

Yup

karihigada

thats one thing i really love about drrr, its setting in reallife

so how would shizuo come to care about izaya?

spoontasti

Hmmm

karihigada

definitely not for a long time because izaya keeps trying to get him to use violence

spoontasti

Yup

karihigada

so only after izaya softens up?

spoontasti

Gosh by then would he hate him soooo much XD

karihigada

or maybe their relationship actually isnt so bad at the start, they snark at each other and whatnot but

nothing too bad, and only after izaya gets bored of that he tries to push shizuo to murder?

spoontasti

Yeah makes a plan

karihigada

yeah thats the problem, if shizuo ust hates izaya from the beginging and then breaks down there is

no way he wuld come to care about him other than some twisted stockholm syndrome

so izaya first needs to make shizuo trust him

spoontasti

Toying with him

karihigada

and that infvolves not being such a little shit all the time so that shizuo doesnt completely hate his

guts

that would also be the only way he could manipulate shizuo into violence: through trust, not throgh

pressure of authority

spoontasti

Yeah

Manipulation is his fine point

karihigada

maybe shizuo nearly beats that punk to death to pretect izaya and izaya totally planned it that way

that would be the only reason shizuo would go that far

manipulating shizuo into violence like in ACI but focusing it onto another person instead of on

himself like in the control room in ACI

but by trying to win shizuos trust he of course has to play his freind and in turn shizuo treads him

like a freind so izaya realizes that it actually really hurts misusing trust like that :D

spoontasti

And Shizuo knows if something happens to Izaya something bad will happen to his family

Yup

karihigada

so they come to trust/care about each other by izaya just 'pretending' to be his freind but slowly

actually feeling like that but he also doesnt want to let go of his original plan to turn shizuo into a

monster so he goes through with it anyway

spoontasti

Okay ? so Izaya works on building Shizuo's trust by faking being nice

karihigada

while having doubts and pain but he tells himself that he can just throw shizuo away later

which he of course cant, he is already in too deep xD

spoontasti

Ok sounds good

karihigada

maybe while shizuo beats that punk its actually izaya who shouts at him tostop because he after all

doesnt want shizuo to become a monster

instead izaya realizes he himself might be amonster for pushing his freind that far

spoontasti

And then when Shizuo actually begins to start to like Izaya for real Izaya maybe lets him off

karihigada

you mean at the very end?

yeah

so now that shizuo is 'free' to go he maybe leaves for a few days/weeks and izaya is realyl miserable

and later shizuo comes back and tells him that he was thinking a lot and he decided to come back on

his own terms

spoontasti

Or maybe he doesn't go back to that life style but asks Izaya out

Like he doesn't want to come back under Izaya

But as his ally/lover

spoontasti

Or just someone there to stop him

And watch him

But Izaya understands

karihigada

maxbe it would be a sober note "if youre ever really in trouble i will help you.... but dont expect me

to get deeper invoved with the yakuza than that anymore"

yeah it would be really somber, shzuo still wants izaya in his life but no longer that life so its kinda

hard to reconcile those two things

but he also cant realyl imagine life without izaya anymore

spoontasti

Yeah

karihigada

and izaya also realizes he needs someone outside this life to keep him human

that would be an interesting spin, izaya needing shizuo to keep him human

:D

spoontasti

He wants to be better for Shizuo

karihigada

and he is sorry he ever dragged shizuo into this life

just becuase shizuo is good at violence doesnt mean he is good in a life of violence

spoontasti

Yeah Shizuo isn't cut out for it even if he could be perfect if he used his strength

Sounds great

?

karihigada

sounds amazing :DDDD

god its so fun~~

the perfect bedtime story~~~ haha

spoontasti

?

karihigada

maybe an addendum for the earlier time: during the start when izaya tries to win shizuos trut by

pretending, you think he also tries sexual advances? or just try to be his freind?

would be even more heartbreaking if they are sorta 'together' while izaya tries to get shizuo to kill

spoontasti

It would be interesting

karihigada

and would make sense in why he regrets it so much manipulating shizuo

spoontasti

Yup

karihigada

maybe izaya comes onto him very heavily and shizuo tells him in his face he doesnt want to get into

trouble but izaya rebukes that it would be no trouble and noone would have a problem with it (as

long as shizuo is good ;) ) and izaya also tells him that he knows shizuo finds him atrractive, izaya

knows he is attractive and uses it as a weapon

so maybe shizuo would just shrug and go with it? spur of the moment thing? and then later shizuo

of course develops deeper feelings bcuase he things izaya is being geniune

or maybe he only gives in when izaya starts sounding more geniune about wanting to sleep with

him instead of just flaunting his good looks

shizuo wants to sleep with him becuase of affection, not jsut good looks

spoontasti

Yeah

karihigada

and he is very gentle :)

and izaya also didnt expect to be touched that gently :D

spoontasti

Yay

karihigada

and when shiki hears that they sleep together he jsut gives a long and resinged sigh but knows he

cant do anythign about it

xD

also, what about mairu and kururi?

spoontasti

Hehehe

karihigada

and is akane a cousin?

shizuo would get along well with them and cant belive that the big brother is such a brat when the

little girls are so well beahved xD

spoontasti

Hmmm idk XD

Cousins I guess

spoontasti

Like maybe one of Izaya's parents is in the yakuza but since they always are gone, they just brought

them in

Izaya doesn't have to inherit but he's high in the family

karihigada

i thought the AU was that izaya is the son of mikiya, the awakusu boss? so he is the 'heir'

i was just hinking about hos izayas childhood woudl have been

spoontasti

Maybe Mikiya is his grandfather??

karihigada

probably largely the same as canon with fascination with humans and other children beign afraid of

him like with akane

spoontasti

Is Akane the heir?

karihigada

and the reason he didnt get into legal trouble in middle school for 'stabbing' shinra is becuase of the

yakuza xD

spoontasti

Yeah

karihigada

such a fun AU

espcially with the part with also examining izayas humanity. we dont have that enough in fics

not that this is ever gonna be a fic

this would be alogn one

its funny because the artist of the pic wrote like "izaya as the darling yakuza heir. discuss" and we

sure as hell discussed but noone will ever see xD

and even this will disapear into the void in a few days because you would need to scrool up

karihigada

but right now im having fun~~
