Dazai: I want my vagina shaved ladies.

Chuuya: Then shave your vagina, Dazai.

chuuya run he’s gonna GET YOU!!!

[silly-zai]

I forgot that Dazai is canonically a man for a sec like wdym they're not non binary/agender

I forget I have a gender too sometimes why is this applying to characters too this is a problem

i made a little drabble! This does hint at transzai btw(ftm) but if that's not your cup of tea then don't worry cuz it's not a main focus!

When Dazai has a bad day(whether it be their mental health, dysphoria, or smth else), it's obvious to the rest of the ADA.

When Dazai has a bad day, Kunikida is less harsh on him. He brings extra food when he comes back from his lunch break.

When Dazai has a bad day, Atsushi offers to help him do his paperwork and takes him out for lunch.

When Dazai has a bad day, Yosano leaves him extra bandages and little sweets on his desk.

When Dazai has a bad day, Kyoka leaves them small items that remind her of him, such as a pretty leaf or a little ornament she found.

When Dazai has a bad day, Fukuzawa will leave notes for him to find, small praises about his most recent case.

When Dazai has a bad day, Ranpo will leave little sticky notes telling Dazai how pretty he looks or how smart he is, usually with a chocolate or a lollipop taped to it.

When Dazai has a bad day, he comes home to his apartment. On the counter is a note and a small bag. Dazai doesn't need to look to know what it is, but he does so anyways. Chuuya left them a nice homemade meal. The note was somewhat aggressive to the typical eye, but Dazai could see past it.

Needless to say, Dazai didn't try to commit for a while.

Been thinking about my Android Dazai AU lately. I've been asking myself a couple of questions about it since no one else seems to 😒 /lh (if you have any questions, please send them in, I beg. I yearn to yap). I've been mostly asking myself these questions to help me flesh out this AU better, and I thought I'd share my process.

If you haven't heard about it, you can check out my other posts about it here as well as the fic I made for it!

So, anyway, onto my ramblings. Prepare for an info dump and a half.

I'm sticking with the main question I've been asking myself for this post, and that is:

Why did Mori create Dazai? Why not just stick with Elise? What are his motivations?

This has been one of the toughest questions I've been faced with when I imagine this AU. It stumped me for a long while, so I just ignored it for the time being. But after a deep analysis of Mori's character, I've come to a conclusion.

Right off the bat, I'd like to make it clear that Mori has no creepy or pedophilic reasons for creating Dazai in this AU, so throw that thought away. I don't want to hear about it.

For starters, I'd like to lay out who Mori is as a person. Or how I view him, anyway. Deep down, Mori longs to take care of someone. We see this in Beast when he's free from his duties as Boss and is able to open up an orphanage. He states that he wishes he could have saved Dazai instead of manipulating him like he did.

But as it currently stands in the main timeline, Mori is unable to indulge in this desire. He is a slave to the organization, as he puts it, and he has a duty to go with the most logical solution as its leader. Facts over feelings and all that. Whether that means pushing Yosano to her limit despite his own hatred for using fear as a way to control people or sacrificing Oda, someone who he knows is very dear to Dazai, for the sake of obtaining the permit.

All this to say that Mori is very repressed. Personally, I say that these secret desires manifest themselves in Elise. She has some of Yosano and Dazai’s characteristics, both people Mori wish he could've cared for properly, and he spoils her openly, almost as if he's trying to make up for lost time.

Now, back to the AU. Elise's existence allows Mori to indulge in his fantasies, yes, but he wants something tangible. Elise is a manifestation of his own wants, but she's not real. So Mori decides to make an android. Maybe it's in a moment of weakness, so desperate for something, anything, to care for to make up for the pain he's caused.

Why not just adopt a child? Well, as much as he would like to, having a child in the Port Mafia isn't a wise decision, morally or logically. So he settles for an artificial one. It's different enough from Elise because it's something that can just vanish into thin air like she does. Something physical.

He works tirelessly to design, engineer, and produce an android that can give him as close to what he wants as possible. Not a baby, though. He couldn't bear that. He settles on a young teen for the design (again, not for creepy reasons, you weirdos). Something that he could care for, but isn't entirely helpless.

I imagine the first thing Mori did was create the AI for this thing before working on the body, and suddenly, this AI just starts yapping at him from his computer. The android takes on a life of their own. Starts calling themselves "Osamu Dazai." Orginally, Mori was set on creating a feminine-leaning android (his failures with Yosano are still haunting him at this point), but Dazai's like: uh, hell no. I am Osamu Dazai. I am a boy. Fix my body, u stupid doctor. (I love transzai)

Anyway, Dazai helps Mori design the body he wants. It's more androgynous than before, which Dazai enjoys. He's implemented into it shortly after it's finished, and voila, our favorite little bandage boy, is born.

Sure, Dazai isn't exactly what Mori had envisioned when he first started the project. He had imagined something more docile, easier to project his desires onto. But Dazai is what he is, and he won't be changed now. He's here now, and he's here to stay. Very human, despite how he came into this world or how much he denies it.

I may or may not have been influenced by the recent release of the Stormbringer Manga with that last bit. Anyway, Dad Mori is real. He's just not very good at it.
