Hi there!

Welcome to my blog.

Here, I'll post drawings, writing, and yap sessions about fandoms and the likes. Some fandoms I will post about include:

Bungou Stray Dogs, Death Note, Twisted Wonderland, The Grishaverse, Danganronpa, some of those stupid crime shows, The 100, Rebel of the Sands, etc.

This is not by any means an extensive list, and I'll probably do crossovers of ones I haven't mentioned pretty soon.

A lot of what I do is crossovers, as well as alternate universes and fanfiction. I like to come up with plots for long-winded fan stories that rarely get written because I have a severe lack of people interested in my ideas, so this blog is my space for that.

So, if anything I said earlier peaked your interest, keep an eye out for my blog!

Pet headcanons for BSD characters <3 This was originally for my college AU I'm making but it applies to the OG universe too!

In no particular order:

Dazai-NOT a dog person. He's okay with cats, but he wouldn't own one, just happily pet other people's cats.

Chuuya- Loves dogs :) He probably has several, and has a whole plan in place in case he dies on a mission. He gets them from everywhere- instead of Mr-steal-ya-girl, he'll steal your dog if it's left alone with him too long. Most likely names them after types of wine or something similar.

Fyodor- Maybe a very well-behaved cat named after a Russian tsar or philosopher. (If you headcanon Fyodor with epilepsy/some other issue, a well-trained service dog named Rodion Raskolnikov  [“Rodya,” “Rodka”] after the main character of Crime and Punishment.) He's not big on pets, but could definitely train one to be exactly what he wants from an animal.

Jouno- Doesn't strike me as a pet person. Probably would get too annoyed with an animal- they would move stuff that he couldn't predict and it would be too much of a problem. Also, animals don't operate like humans, so his whole sadism thing would be thrown off.

Tetcho and Teruko- Two big-ass dobermen, brother and sister. Named something 'intimidatingly' edgy by Teruko, like 'bonecrusher'' and 'bloodmauler'. Tetcho's is playful and semi-energetic. Teruko's is scarily calm and patient, to the point the personality of the dog and Teruko are almost opposite. Teruko definitely chose the larger one, which just happens to be the girl (bc females are typically larger!)

Tachihara- Dogs. Lots of them. Everywhere. They were definitely brought with him to the PM and he definitely added a couple while in the PM. They are all probably strays or pound dogs.

Akutagawa siblings- Gin 'received' a dog after assassinating its owner. Ryuu just has to put up with it for the sake of his sister. It's a good dog, too- could be sold for a lot, but Gin wants to keep it. If someone broke into their house, Ryuu would murderate them purely to keep Gin from being upset over the dog. I don't see Ryuu wanting an animal otherwise.

Atsushi- A singular cat, or nothing. May actually fail to keep a pet despite his best efforts because he's a tiger and is very territorial. Has probably had to rehome pets to Ranpo and Fukazawa.

Ranpo(+Fukazawa)- Has literal thousands of cats in their house. Stray cats just simply flock to Fukazawa, and they never turn away an animal. A singular dog in the havoc, Ranpo's service dog- a form of homing pigeon in dog form. When Ranpo goes outside without a companion, he has his navigator dog who is trained to help Ranpo find his way. Smart ahh dog knows the vague layout of Yokohama and all Ranpo has to do is let the dog smell something from the area he wants to go, and BOOM, magic navigator dog.

Kunikida- Couldn't physically handle an animal :/

Yosano- Probabably too unsanitary to have a pet, but she would probably get scary dog privileges (But she's the scary part)

Higuchi- I can see her either have a pitbull or a yappy dog.

Ango- Cat. No comment.

Sigma- Either a calm cat or a really well-trained dog, both well-bred and self-trained. Emotional support animal.

Mushitaro- Something furless because he would CRASH OUT if a single hair got on his tailored clothes. Maybe something small and exotic?

Behold, my awesome crossover! I call it 'Death of Stray Dogs'.

The plot doesn't really follow either anime.

Quick breakdown:

Story intro to Dazai's POV:

PM!Dazai doesn't wander to Odasaku's doorstep; Instead, as he's bleeding, nerves screaming, and brain blurry from head trauma, he desperately crawls his way into a fire escape to hide from his attackers. It just so happens that the fire escape belongs to none other than Light Yagami, a brilliant, studious, and good-natured 16-year-old.

Upon discovering Dazai passed out on his fire escape, Light snaps into action- after all, his father was the police chief, so he knew how to administer first aid. He takes Dazai to his bathroom and gets into the first aid kit, methodically treating his wounds.

Dazai wakes up to the strangest thing of his life- being cared for. He has the feeling he doesn't need to do anything, that everything will be taken care of, but his time in the mafia has taught him never to trust strange things he's never experienced before.

Light lets him stay silent for a little bit, to get his bearing, but after he finished patching Dazai up he made polite introduction.

"Hello there."

Silence. Dazai stares, waiting for what the boy will say, waiting for the boy to give away his intentions.

Light speaks gently, in a measured way, careful not to startle or upset Dazai. "My name is Yagami Light. What's yours?"

"... Dazai. Dazai Osamu." Dazai speaks carefully, like an animal waiting for signs of a predator.

Light breaks into a smile. "What an unusual name."

Dazai frowns. "'Light' isn't your average name either, you know."

"Ah, my apologies." Light laughed slightly, and Dazai couldn't help but smile slightly. It was contagious, the open demeanor Light had. "Well," Light said, becoming slightly serious. "I'm not going to ask what happened to you. I have a feeling you won't answer me, but is there anything you need?"

Dazai matched Light's seriousness. He stayed still for a moment, then said, "You got anything to eat?"

Light's eyes widened. "Oh! Of course! I'll get you something from the kitchen." He stood up from where he had been kneeling next to Dazai. "I wouldn't recommend getting up; your wounds are quite extensive. I'll be back in a moment, Osamu."

Light left, but Dazai's mind was distracted. This was a very new situation. Light had, instead of ignoring him or using his unconsciousness to harm him, had gone out of his way to help him and tend to his wounds. Light was... nice. And that was very new.

Light had used his first name, something so foreign to Dazai that the name was almost not referring to the same person: Dazai was a mafioso, a criminal, a monster- the demon prodigy of the Port Mafia. Osamu was... someone else. It wasn't a name that fit with the mafioso identity that had been thrust on Dazai. Maybe... Maybe Osamu was the kind of person who deserved care from strangers. Dazai certainly didn't.

This is an AU centered around the characters having the opposite ability as in canon. For example, Dazai amplifies other's abilities on contact instead of nullification.

ADA members' ability breakdown:

Fukazawa- Ability: All men on equal ground

Allows him to adjust the abilities of others, but only those he is not familiar with and one at a time.

Pretty similar to in canon

Ranpo- Ability: Super Deduction

The same as in canon. He's a little more playful here.

Yosano- Ability: Thou shalt not kill

Allows her to make someone immune to injuries as long as they are within her reach. Essentially, she can stop a murder just by being there.

She's less sadistic- her ability doesn't require that. She's still kickass though, so watch out Kajii.

Kunikida- Ability: Kunikida's writing

Allows him to put objects onto paper, able to effectively disarm most simple opponents of knives or other uncomplicated weapons. Doesn't apply to complicated weapons like guns or bombs, anything with a mechanical aspect.

Same as canon, strict and idealist to the core.

Tanizaki- Ability: Warm breath in winter air

Allows him to use memories and picture in others' minds to cause them to hallucinate. He can't see what they hallucinate, but he essentially just uses their brain as a computer, searches for something, and they see the results. Say, if he willed his 'victim' to hallucinate home, they'd begin to think they'd been magically transported to whatever they think of as home- and Tanizaki wouldn't know what they saw.

Same as canon, focusing on his nervous demeanor but absolute determination to protect Naomi. (They aren't weird pseudo-incest things here because I said so.) His resolve to protect her will be demonstrated- and then tested.

Kenji- Ability: To weather the storm

Allows him to be nigh indestructable when his needs are met. As in, when he's well fed, had a decent amount of sleep, etc. he is essentially superman and his skin can't even be broken.

Similar to canon, he still believes in the good of people and takes things at face value.

This is the ADA, they say hi!

Because of the existence of 'The Book', there is the potential for infinite realities in which anything can happen, as shown with Beast!BSD. Therefore, I had a little fun making some of my own alternate universes. I even gave them fancy names. ^v^

(I will elaborate on each of these in a post of their own. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask!)

First off, Bungo Stray Dogs: Reflections.

This universe is centered around the characters having the opposite ability as in canon. For example, Dazai amplifies other's abilities on contact instead of nullification.

Because a lot of the characters' personalities and backstories are directly affected by their abilities, I had a lot of fun giving them different ones- So, most characters will be portrayed differently, like in Beast.

The character's allegiances are mostly the same, but a few oddballs are in different organizations.

I've sort of half-assedly started making a manga version of this, but it's on paper, so I've already doomed myself. TnT

Secondly, Death of Stray Dogs.

That sounds weird and violent, I know, but bear with me. It's a super planned-out crossover between Bungo Stray Dogs and Death Note.

I've thought way too much about this universe XD

Essentially, it's just the two worlds merged, but more of it happens on the BSD timeline, hence why I consider it a BSD AU.

Some backstories are the same, while others are very different. It depends on how they fit into my plot, and if I like the character XD

Allegiances are very different- there's even a new organization for this universe.

I tried to actually write this into a fanfic but it wasn't happening LOL

Another AU I had is Bungo Stray Dogs: Interpretations.

This one is undergoing changes right now. I'm somewhere between a War AU and a very introspective one.

In Interpretations, characters' abilities are different, more of following the name of the ability. I don't know how to explain this without explaining the whole AU, so I'll get into it in another post.

Allegiances are for the most part the same, but there are some major players who've been moved from their original groups.

This one's really fun and explores friendship dynamics that previously are unexplored :)

Lastly, Schooling/Regular Universe BSD.

Essentially just the characters but if they were normal, regular people. They have normal jobs and classes, normal friends and relationships, and go about doing normal things.

Mostly just a fluff, happy AU, a bit like Wan!

A lot of the characters' ages are changed here so they can all be in college or under without it seeming weird that a 28-year-old is hanging out with a 19-year-old.

The original premise of this was a college/highschool AU where instead of it being ADA versus PM and etc, its ADA being conformists who try and follow the rules of social expectations, and the PM who aren't mafiosos at all but rather students who disregard social expectations and are all alternative.
