#corrupted ability

Hello darkness my old friend~

——✨——

I’ve had this idea for a long while already, especially from diving deeper into my s/I’s backstory and how she ended up with her shadow ability in the first place (I’ve explained a bit in precious asks, and have a whole AtsuDany lore post I have yet to update and post ;w;)

Nevertheless, it’s pain and anguish when she realizes the extent of her shadow gift being more a parasitic curse than a gift. It came unexpectedly and she nearly could have died from this corruption. It is essentially that, very much like Chuuya’s corruption ability; maybe a bit op in the sense that Dazai can’t automatically turn it off when he shadow interacts with him, he has to physically touch and basically grasp onto Dany to break her out of it.

This moment is the first time it awakened in her since she was first exposed to it years back, it would have ended her had Dr. Yosano not been called with time beforehand ;;w;; also scared officers taking a shot at her when she was unaware.

I can’t recall if I ever posted this sketch, but it’s a jist of her mental state before her shadow gift overwhelms her. Much like her wolf, her shadow gift tends to speak to her, in a hiss and negative fashion, usually feeding her bad takes about things around her, moments of her past or herself. Overall, her shadow gift afterwards is a culmination of her past hurts and traumas + her depression and self doubts.
