Little does Chuuya know, this won’t just be a one time team up with Dazai
Dazai from the Helluva Boss AU!!!
I remembered that some octopi can change colors, so what if octozai can change colors and mimicked Chuuya with a fake hat? 😮
I had so much fun doing the costumes, but I regret my sudden impulse decision to make the background a bunch of lines bc it took forever 😐
Embarrassed Dazai to test out brushes and rendering!!!
Every time I watch Banana Fish i get sad so I haven’t worked on this as much. But I have come up with an unfinished list of characters that may be changed in the future as I flesh this au out more :)
Ash: Dazai
Eiji: Chuuya
Golzine: Mori
Yut Lung: Fyodor?
Sing: Kunikida?
Shorter: Oda?
Blanca: Fukuzawa
Max: Ango
Ibe: Kouyou
Skip: Atsushi
Doodle dump for Helluva Boss SKK!!!
Wanted to show off their size difference in this AU!
Short comic of one of my favorite parts of Spider-Chuuya's backstory!
(Read left to right)
Part two of the previous drawing!
Of course I can’t make a single AU without finding some way to sneak angst in… 😂
Now I’m imagining what if Mer-Dazai was captured at some point? How guilty would Chuuya feel for not protecting him?
(Good news is he was always an escape artist, but Chuuya hasn’t thought of that yet)
Osamu Dazai Reference
Past and Details below (some things may change)
This Dazai is the only exception to the multiversal Dazai rule
Parents died (Double suicide? Accident? Killed to cover something up?) and Dazai left, roaming the streets trying to find a painless end
Mori finds Dazai and saves him from a suicide attempt just like in canon
Dazai starts helping Mori in his villainous schemes (yes he's a supervillain in this one and like all villains he has some big company thing)
Maybe he actually gets a villain persona at this point with cool tech and stuff?
Not sure when he gets the spider bite but here feels like a good spot maybe kinda sorta
Taken in by Oda who is the city's hero currently. Dazai asks why he does that even with nothing in return and Oda says the great power great responsibility thing and says that he finds meaning in his life from it.
Mori causes Oda's death
Dazai figures this out and takes down Mori's entire empire of villains and takes the Spider-Man role
In the final fight with Mori, Dazai loses sight in his right eye (how did that end up opposite of canon?)
More Octo-Dazai doodles!!! I love drawing him tiny but I have to actually include his full form occasionally 😂
...so I wrote a really weird little mermaid AU
skk mermay I have 3 different storylines utilizing these designs
now I'm off to draw selkie Dazai
AU where Dazai is an octopus merperson that can shrink to a tiny boi
Chuuya is a marine biologist/aquatic veterinarian who finds an injured tiny octopus and heals him then keeps him around until he’s all better
Dazai can’t shift back until he’s healed bc it takes energy or something
Either Chuuya releases him and he comes back in full mer form or a human form or he shifts back while in captivity and is just as clingy and affectionate as usual confusing the hell out of Chuuya and his coworkers
continuation of the childhood AU I made :3
dear diary… one day I met the little prince…
but just as the storybook said… we got separated… all I know is that somewhere out there… we see the same stars…
Fanart for the fic The Heart of the Ocean by why_cant_turtles_fly on AO3!!!
Link to Fic
AU where Dazai somehow ends up in Beast Universe & confronts Port Mafia's broken boss, gone mad from despair.
Chuuya expects this Dazai to be another hallucination but instead feels a gentle hand to his face that he's never experienced before as No Longer Human soothes his rage.
This has been sitting in my computer for a month now (ever since i started planning out the fic) and I thought why not throw them in here.
(Also if the second/younger dazai looks a little more feminine it’s because uh. Well. Look at the bandage placement. Surprise.)
May I bring your attention to;
Slug and Snail
Look at this serious mafia executive with his serious expression and serious suit and serious hat and... cat.
Chuuya loves his cat very much and I love both of them so. HERE ARE SOME RANDOM FACTS/THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM IN MY SOULMATE-PETS-AU:
The cat is named Snail because he likes hiding under Chuuya's hat/other things and it looks like he has a snail shell. (But I came up with the name because whenever I draw cats they look like snails at first)
Snail is super quiet. So much that it's creepy, like the cat doesn't make a single noise and just stares at you. Very much PM Dazai vibes, which makes sense since they're soulmates and the pet matches you AND your soulmate, but mostly the soumate. Gets trickier with multiple soulmates but thats besides the point-
Snail is quiet, but the moment Chuuya sits down to pet it. oh boy you cat hear this cat a mile away. Also it mrrp's at Dazai whenever it sees him. Which is not something Snail does. So that confused the young soukoku. Chuuya used to say that it's so displeased to see him, that it's making noise.. Then Snail jumped on Dazai's lap one day. (And I already talked about the whole "if the pet doesn't hate you, you are soulmates")
This cat loves water. It takes showers with Chuuya
It gets carried around like a baby because Snail is baby. Little scrunkly. Such a lil guy. Teeny tiny stinky man.
Also it's stinky. Yes it likes water, but it also likes crab. Because of course it does. And so Snail smells like crab from a can. Chuuya smells a little bit like crab too sometimes because of it
Snail likes to annoy Chuuya and mess with his paperwork just as much as Dazai. Chuuya gets back at it by not giving it treats for some time
oh look. Soulmate AU where you and your soulmate have pets with matching vibes
Can you guess who these two match with
hinthint-Racoons are like flightless crows and a certain Japanese writer is rumoured to have liked foxes so his characters partner got one
It all began with Fyodor and his rat and the idea of Gogol having a pigeon to match with them because pigeons and rats are the same thing except one has wings and you cannot change my mind its true
