#blizzysrambles

* Chuuya and Dazai were friends in school, and were really glad to be reunited for the show

* Chuuya and Dazai are also very well aware of the Soukoku shippers, and purposely play up the gayer scenes for the fans

* Naturally, they end up falling in love and start dating midway through the show

* Mori genuinely hates some of his lines; he sometimes asks the directors to change ones that make him especially uncomfortable

* Atsushi and Akutagawa genuinely had no clue about Shin Soukoku shippers until Dazai and Chuuya told them; one could make the argument that this made the gayer scenes more awkward and, therefore, gayer

* Poe has a huge crush on Ranpo and is barely acting when he's nervous and awkward around him; Ranpo is completely clueless

* Yosano and Ranpo are best friends, and she's constantly trying to find subtle ways to get Ranpo and Poe together (she's even asked the directors if there's time to make it canon)

* Yosano is a lesbian, and is dating Kouyou (they met through the show and were set up by Chuuya and Dazai)

* It wasn't in the script for Nikolai to grab Fyodor's hands, and Fyodor's reaction is his genuine shock (and gay panic)

* Sigma and Nikolai are actually really good friends

* Fukuzawa is the one who pushed for his character to like cats

* Fifteen Chuuya and Dazai genuinely didn't get along at first, but things got a bit awkward when their older doubles started dating (they're in denial)

* Gin and Akutagawa had no idea they'd become as popular as they did, and they end up hanging out even when filming isn't happening (sometimes inviting Atsushi and Higuchi along)

* Kyouka and Kenji have regular theme park outings, and he always makes sure to win her a plushie from the games; she has a collection of cute stuffies because of him

* Kunikida's students always make fun of him for being exactly like his character

* Sigma is actually the most outgoing out of the DOA trio; Fyodor is the shyest

* Most of Jouno's accessories are his own; every once in a while he'll share with Tetchou, and Tachihara points it out every single time; in response, Jouno will just say that Tetchou was missing a little pizzazz

* Tanizaki and Naomi are good friends; she feels bad about some of her scenes, since she knows Tanizaki's discomfort isn't always acting; she almost always takes him out for his favorite food after filming

* Higuchi is bi with a preference for girls, and isn't the biggest fan of her character's crush on Akutagawa, especially since she likes Gin

* Dazai forgets his lines a lot, so improvises all the time; this usually ends with him flirting with Chuuya (and is usually kept in)

* Fifteen Chuuya has naturally blonde hair and chose to dye it for the show, since he hates wearing wigs; he ended up really liking it and continues to dye it ginger

* Kouyou and Yosano were the first cast couple to get married

* It took Atsushi and Akutagawa forever to even start dating

* Most of the cast laughed at either theirs or someone else's ability
