Blog Restart
Hallo! It's been a bit, but I've come to the decision to at least restart this blog. It's been going through a weird bit, and this might be its second restart, from what I could remember?
Basically, I've began using Tumblr less and less, and more often than not the posts are a bit odd with the random fandoms I'm in. And it only gets worse from there. But I have a slight idea as to what I would want this blog to go to. U-Until my motivation comes to a full stop, at the very least ^^"
And because I would want a restart, means that the contents of the blog would be put on private. And from there, I'm taking it slow. It'll be a long reset, but something new is what I need at this point.
Thank you for listening.
doa!atsushi but instead of being appointed to either fyodor or nikolai, he stuck rather close to sigma and stayed with them at the sky casino. [starts derailing] atsushi would at least young adolescence. 14 maybe? look im not accustomed with the timeline, so my hc is that his ability didn't manifest until he was at least 11-12, leading to him getting the scars at 10, that's what im going with. but if we're going by the fact that sigma has been created three years prior, then that would lead to atsushi being 15. so in my head the timeline is that atsushi would have joined the doa just as sigma was materialized and was given the sky casino. and because fyodor might think it was too early for him to exploit atsushi and his ability to find the book, he decides to just- drop this kid on another (supposed?) kid and just walked away. [stops derailing]
just-- two unfortunate souls growing up together with no sense of belonging in the world and just doing what they could to keep the closest thing that was home, the sky casino, safe. look i like their friendship a lot and i'm just imagining scenarios regarding them doing research of the city below them called Yokohama, learning its people and its quirks, going against the hunting dogs, them reuniting with nikolai after sigma fell with maybe atsushi jumping down with him, and just whatever is going on with ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ
this is definitely not an excuse to think of atsushi working in the sky casino as a supposed employee. DEFINITELY sigma's right-hand man/secretary at least, but atsushi's too young to gamble. (no shiz, if we're going off from the earlier derailing, he would be 15 years old to 18 dazeit). so maybe he looks after the customers and residence(?) of the casino? I DONT KNOW IM ABOUT TO RAMBLE WA-
yknow what. Human Abilities AU where people's abilities are just... their own person. similar to a modern au but the abilities are also there but as actual people ^^ starting with sskk and skk! (am i making it into yin-yang w|w and double black m|m? maybe. i dont know myself. i think.)
byakko would be the strict but motherly protective tiger that i headcanon her to be. very protective of atsushi since he still goes through hell in an orphanage, and really, she has no filter but is nice enough to place one on for... five minutes. voice claim... ethereal but monotone. my girl's blunt. ex: tigress from kung fu panda rashomon would likely act similar to aku in a sense, but... more teasing. she likes to rile byakko up, but those happen on, like, a good day. which is one out of... two-three weeks. but similar to byakko, she's protective of the siblings very much, and can and will spoil those two with sweets since the whole slums situation. now her voice claim would likely have an elegant voice compared to byakko, yet both have the same bite. ex: yae miko from genshin impact but toned down. --- how these two interact... hm. probably how atsushi and aku were from day one in canon, they hated each other. but it could go two ways: where they catch fists or egged on by rashomon's teasing... "or is she threatening?" <- byakko. but after some time, from hating each others guts when on site and also not, it more or less evolves to them... liking each other's company. byakko helps rashomon regarding seeing things in other perspectives, however blunt they are. and rashomon helps byakko with the social cues. neither of them are the talkers, but when its just them two, no words would be spoken and yet they just understand what they need.
now for no longer human, whom i shall call "null". null is... silent. the silent eerie character that rarely talks but is just... there. not much cues in his blank and expressionless face, and his posture is solemn and tight. he acts much similar to 15!dazai but more melancholic. he took the brunt of whatever happened in his and dazai's childhood, he's a lot more mature than that. his voice claim would be a deep voice, could be heard as monotone or angry to strangers, but with those who's familiar with him, it's just... calming. ex: the horse from the boy, the mole, the fox, and the horse. for the tainted sorrow, or more or less arahabaki... he's basically a chuuya but more destructive, and he doesn't want to slow down. but when it comes to null, its either that he has to be in pace with the other or he can and will drag them. they don't care. but of course, others wonder why he cares so much for null if its said that he doesnt care at all. now some might say that no one could manage to understand him, others would say that he might speak riddles. a sort of ethereal tone, and it's oddly pitched. possible ex: sphinx from dragons dogma 2. --- this one's different, how they interact. basically: arahabaki would try and egg null on, get them riled up, but for the sake of proving the man wrong in his own point. it's unfortunately that both null and dazai have that sense of not being human. and while chuuya has his own way in showing dazai he has a life worth living, arahabaki's situation is a more difficult one. because null's more observant and quiet, the man likely has several scenarios going through his head on what's to happen, and has definitely figured out what arahabaki's planning on doing and avoided it with some certain word of phrase. so, arahabaki turns those words against null. two can play that game. but while arahabaki helps null with that, null helps with arahabaki's destructive and explosive tendencies, managing to defuse a situation in mere seconds and get them out of trouble. they're looking out for each other, and they have their backs.
random thought, and please correct me if i'm wrong about this:
If fyodor kills himself with his ability and all that, would it actually become a singularity instead of fyodor just... blipping out and back into existence? (but isn't that also a singularity??? that the whole thing just cancels out on eachother/itself??????) MEANING that if SOMEHOW they managed to outsmart fyodor this time and trick him into actually killing himself, then does that mean that the joke of dazai punching him once and he go poof actually work???
welcome to the rambles of a bsd fan but also not because i have not watched the anime because im scared and short attention span and also the manga cause im poor- (that and this thought kept running laps in my head since the chapter had come out and i know enough to understand a bit about things and worldbuilding)
To commemorate the birthday jinko, I give you dis Post-BEAST Nakajima!
My guy's just in peace, more or less. He still lives in the orphanage, and is more or less the third adult of the place (Mori first, Elise second) He ditched the collar, and also his coat. Went to at least use an old caretaker coat. He won't wear it properly, no matter how much you try and convince him that it's fine, the children won't get scared of him the moment he dawns the coat. So he just has it hanging off his arms, and you know what? It works. He is more or less... less tired. Still tired, yes, but he's working on himself. Give him some time. Oh, and his hair's growing out! Look at the boi go!
Anyways, happy birthday to the characters and their IRL counterpart!
Whether I'll draw more or write something about this, give me some time ^^
hey. guess what. more Human Abilities AU, starring the Armed Detective Agency!
Kunikida's first up, with Matchless Poet/Doppo Poet (I don't know which one's right-), or just "Poet"! Poet is much like Kunikida, wanting to keep up with work and having an organized and well maintained scheduled. But while Kunikida scolds the others for slacking off, Poet is more kinder with his words. Still has the scary factor though when the others push it, and definitely if they mess with his organization. That's his thing, organization. Mess with it, and you'll end up with a binder at the face. Regardless of his scary factor, Poet is more or less the diligent and caring big brother when it comes to his voice claim. ex: maybeee (goodness voice claims are hard when you have a itty bitty mind and you dont know much voices-) "L. Lawliet" from Death Note.
Ranpo's Super/Ultra Deduction, or Suiri! (going with romaji for some of these-) Suiri is as much as a smarty as they are a foodie. And while they have the same confidence in their deductions like Ranpo, Suiri is a actually a lot more mellow and quiet about their accomplishments which correlates to the fact that Ranpo doesn't actually have an ability. Sometimes they wonder why they're still around when they're at their lowest, but the rest make it an every day occurrence to make them feel needed. Hey, at least they know their way back to the agency. But some thing's for sure when it comes to their voice claim. They have Ranpo's sass and shoot-backs. ex: Nagisa from Assassination Classroom.
Yosano's Thou Shalt Not Die, Kochou(a less common name meaning "butterfly", the other being just "cho")! She is very much similar to Yosano as a feminist and a very independent woman that need no man. But in the sense, she does more of the dirty work. She's not afraid in getting her hands dirty. But even then, she knows beauty just like her iridescent butterflies when she sees it, more or less giving her an elegant but straightforward voice claim. Not as sadistic, but it's still in that scary factor that a single unamused and threatening stare could have many sit down and wait for their demise if she were to unleash such on them. ex: Lust from Full Metal Alchemist (at this point, im just going through random tiktoks of voice claims to figure something out qwq)
Kenji's Undefeated by Rain, or just... Rain! Rain a literal carbon copy of Kenji, with a bit more knowledge about city life... but somehow still not enough. Very much a social butterfly and polite just like Kenji, if not somewhat more mature than the boy. One poignant thing about Rain, though, is his strong nature of not wanting to hurt, so he's actually a pacifist. In a way, he is in the back lines when it comes to things, acting as defense more than offense which Kenji is. But similar to Kenji, if someone were to try and tilt that, Rain won't hesitate and punch someone a block or four back. And for his voice claim, taking to account that he's a but more mature but still golden hearted and he knows where he stands in situations. ex: Lune from The Cat Returns.
Kyouka and Demon Snow, or Shirayuki (romaji once more). Now Shirayuki is different from the others. The reason being is because she was previously Kyouka's mother's ability. Her phantom takes after her mother. With one last order given from her, Shirayuki is immensely protective of Kyouka, acting more or less like a mother-figure in place of Kyouka's. And really, the phantom resembles her mother, and it brings her comfort. So in a way, Shirayuki will take after Kyouka's mother. A nice and loving woman but can be silent and deadly with the help of her katana. But after being linked with Kyouka, she began taking after Kyouka's straightforwardness. Basically motherly for her voice claim. ex: well... Kyouka's mother from Bungou Stray Dogs.
Tanizaki and Light Snow, or just Snow! Snow has that strong familiarity sense, she is very much like the big sister to both Tanizaki and Naomi, and is more or less confused at their antics and a bit concerned, she's just glad they're close (she does not know the full extent). Snow is basically the only one besides a few notable others that have normal braincells in the agency, a good balance of work and having a bit of fun in the office. And similar to Tanizaki, can be ruthless when she wants to be (or if someone hurts her family [that includes the agency too]). And surprisingly, she gets along with everyone, ESPECIALLY Byakko, which often than not shocks most. Because if anything, Byakko is close with Shirayuki and whatever is going on with Rashomon. ex: Sisu from Raya and the Last Dragon. Taking into account about the braincells but also the fact that she somewhat acts similarly to Tanizaki
And you know what, have a Katai with... "Futon". Hm. A bit of a change to the alternate name, "The Quilt", and we now have Quill! Quill, the poor man, is a hopeless romantic. And compared to Katai, he goes out. He touches grass. While Katai is an information broker, Quill is more or less the hacker to get the more restricted information. it's for the greater good, promise! While being a hopeless romantic, Quill is more encouraging and keep seeing the days ahead. Mellow and mature, but he can and will drag Katai to go outside and bet the stray cat at the end of the block, or go to a hole in the wall shop for some deadly good dinner. ex: Joe Gardner from Soul
And last but certainly not least, Fukuzawa and All Men Are Equal. Or in romaji, Hito! Hito is a fair and balanced man, and while Fukuzawa has his agency, Hito watches over the agency's abilities. He takes care of them and spends time with them, a silent father figure moving around as he mostly keeps to both Kochou and Suiri, but he won't hesitate to help the agency members when they need the president's opinion but the man isn't in at the time. One thing, though, about Hito. Hito is silent. Silent. No one, not even Fukuzawa, has heard the man talk. But just his presence, his aura, and his acts, it's enough comfort to help them. And if someone were to try and hurt his found family, he won't hesitate and return to old ways and hurt the perpetrator back.
aaaaaa sooooo yall remember those random chibis i grew regarding Byakko and Rashomon and Human Abilities AU? yeah?
I drew them in actual not actual chibi form
seeeee look at them and all of their non-chibi gloryyyy
Needless to say, I changed a few things. More or less ditched Byakko's coat cause really why would she need that while Rasho got a bit of an update regarding her wardrove and coat- AND I HAD TO DITCH THE HAT, I'M SORRY HER HEAD & NECK BEGAN TO FEEL CROWDED-
Anyways, I think that's all (am uploading now cause i did something dumb and when trying to copy a post's link here on tumblr, it FLIPPED on me and I accidentally clicked on "suggest community label" godforskenmeeeeee- so in a sense i feel like me struggling to upload things is enough torture for me [rarely uploads but am trying to change that here-])
Human Abilities AU but a bit specific
it's nothing much, really, just some mama byakko (gimme more byakko stuffs, i keep seeing those cute videos on twitter about a white tiger and their white tiger cub or just white tiger, and i canNOT stop thinking that it's just atsushi and byakko[which i probably derailed from entirely]). And in a sense, I would want to talk a bit more about this AU and backstories, soooo ye! Byakko time, lets go-!
I've already established before that atsushi still goes through the whole orphanage in childhood until 18. I would imagine that while atsushi has practically lived in that orphanage for as long as he could remember, byakko sort of... showed up one day and just... claimed atsushi as hers and didn't look back. But more in the sense that kids were scared of her, they avoided atsushi, so they may as well help one another out by hanging out (byakko scares the kids away from bullying atsushi, and atsushi keeps byakko company) [insert byakko just sitting quietly, completely unbothered while atsushi just runs around and basically having zoomies each time he sees a flower or a bee] When she turned 18 though, similar to canon!atsushi, byakko gets kicked out and is furious. but it became an choice that she unfortunately had to choose the latter; keep trying to break in and they'd call the authorities or leave with the chance at seeing him again. so for the next five years, byakko decided to tune in all that frustration adn waiting into making a home to welcome atsushi. and you bet that when atsushi, too, was kicked our when he turned 18, byakko was just outside the grounds waiting for him.
which brings to the (possibly) present of this au! byakko and atsushi live each other and just have that big sister and little brother bond that's similar to big sibling raising their little sibling vibe. it mostly stayed the same as when they were in the orphanage, just this time around, from atsushi running around byakko and having the zoomies, atsushi drags byakko places whilst having the zoomies. And that's how they meet the others! Oh, and Rashomon, too. Yeahhh, they're at each other's necks practically 24/7 or anywhere they run into each other (which is often, oddly enough). but unlike skk/sskk where they argue outwordly, the two just have that odd connection of "telepathy". no one knows how they do it, but if they stare at each other for too long, byakko might start growling and rashomon would start bristling. it's not a fun sight. BUT! As mentioned before (again), they end up getting along somewhere along the line. (No one knows, even atsushi and aku)
Yeahhh... needless to say, i got a bit sad over my decision that i ditched rasho's hat.
SO I BROUGHT IT BACK WITH THIS COMIC! THE HAT STAYS! (ish-)
(inhallllessss) I am about to go on a full on tangent about this random idea I kept thinking about but didn't find myself putting in my notes because it was inspired.
As the blog-doomscroller that I am, I found myself going back to two certain pots being these two, as you can see, by the same blogger (because I really like their stuff and like binging through their things please don't judge me-)
And it got me thinking about some things, going off on the premise of mainly the first linked post. Needless to say, I've spent too much time laying in bed and thinking about random ideas until I just... I just-
L-Like... What if, when Atsushi supposedly ran off once the bounty drops... he finds himself back at Tsurumi River where he first met Dazai and suddenly got scooped up by Chuuya and brought to the Port Mafia? Or that, once the agency realized Atsushi ran off and that he heard their conversation about not wanting to rescue him from the Guild, they made it in time to see Chuuya consoling the poor boy because, in a sense, the executive understands how it feels to be backstabbed by those he thought cared about him.
A-AND JUST-...
(Gestures vaguely in panic) W-Whether I would take this idea one day and turn it into an actual fic, I would probably need permission to use the concept but I'm sort-of-intimidated by Starlight Shadow uhhhhhh
I don't know but here have at thee- aightimmago-
Wheheheheeee... I'm planning things with our dear Byakko~~
Have several options on how I wanna do this: a secondary blog like those interactive blogs or have it be a tag here and I won't have to hurt my brain trying to figure out how to Tumblr and secondary blog. It's all up in the air! What I will hint about this one is that it's not really connected to Human Abilities AU, but the Abilities are human... just... not necessarily their users...
( . . . )
Damn, I'm making it sound like their dead or something- THEY'RE NOT, DON'T WORRY, THEY'RE JUST.... "different"...
ANYWAYS ENJOY THIS TIDBIT, TIME TO MAKE SOME MORE THINGSSSS-
0w0 Yeahhhh this is what I had in mind =w=
In the future, I would want to make this bit into a whole blog on its own, but for now I think I would keep it as a tag here on my main blog -w-""
Here's to more Cat Mom Byakko, a single momma of four kids (read: cats)
Yes hello, I'm back to talk more about this again-
But it's some minor things with major lore(?) dumps. (I'm rambling again, aren't I)
Basically I kept on staring at the drawing, grumbling about the outline of the eyes being too light to differentiate with the hair, and said: "Screw it, I'm changing it" and did more than just change the color of the outline of the eye.
IT'S MINOR CHANGES, DON'T WORRY. AND—OH LOOK AT THAT, IT CAME WITH A LIST AND SOME LORE, LOOKIE-
(As mentioned before,) A slight change in the eye-outline color, changed the braid to have a hair cuff, pulled the wrap-around cloth to be longer (with a small accessory) and a pocket watch. It's a game of spot the difference, really.
Now, you might wondering, why did I add all these things?
(a-hem) Mori+Elise: Gold pocket watch and chain (reference??? kinda maybe-) Chuuya: Hair cuff (braid) Kouyou: Striped wrap-around "belt" Akutagawa: Vest suit Higuchi: White Tie Hirotsu: Gloves Gin: Slacks Tachihara: Silver dress shirt Q: Clip (on belt) Kajii: Shoes [Kyouka (whether or not I decide that she follows him back into the mafia): A brooch in a similar shape of her flower pins] — Whether or not they go out of their way and get these for him or just hint at it and he buys it later "at [name]'s recommendation", that's up for debate. (Angst idea: the day after the bounty drops, bright and early at 5 AM, Atsushi folds the clothes the agency gave him neatly next to his futon with the phone on top, once again wearing clothes he never thought he would wear again, and just... leaves.)
[Rambling time buckle in-] In my head, I think him doing on-field work is rare, even with his powerful ability (unless he's deliberately told to help Akutagawa with a mission which he does with a bit of salt and pain [cos- hah- he has to deal with Byakko without All Men Are Equal now]) and when the ADA are involved (which he actively avoids it like the plague, whether he's asked to go on-field or even plan the operation). He would plan and oversee operations/raids instead, take care of incoming supplies and make sure everything's there (there's a fancier word for it but right now I don't have the brain power) and the more illegal stuff that aren't usual missions. The boring stuff, basically! (cough, which is why he looks tired, cough). Anything that isn't fighting/being outside (mood). — Other than that, I think that while he sticks close to Chuuya, Hirotsu will begin caring for the boy and taking him under his wing (maybe?). A veteran of the Port Mafia who knows much when it comes to their statistics, things that Atsushi needs to learn and operate. That, and possibly a promise... Whether or not Atsushi would lay down his loyalty and dedication to the Mafia, I think they would decline at first and let him choose on his own (and not be forced right into joining the organization right off the bat). Basically 15!Dazai, where he's not an official member of the PM but is there.
( . . . ) Alright fine, I'mma make a fic. I'll struggle definitely but if I can make whatever the heck I did in this post, I think I can do it... maybe...
hhh- anyways-
BSD + Pokemon Pt. 1 (ADA+PM)
And by this, I mean- like- each character I know well enough, I give them a Pokemon (singular or else I'll be overthinking it all) =w= It's just a thing for myself to scratch that part of my brain. Assigning them a single Pokemon that compliments them. Which might lead to some vagueness.
Other than that! Lets go-!
ADA
Fukuzawa: Kleavor (Not my greatest idea, I kept thinking about "It either has to be about something similar to katanas/swords, or make it cats". Which I cheated at because Kleavor has axes for goodness sakes. If I were to give it the option, I would have given him Aegislash or a freakin *Litten.* "But Lavender, there's Kingambit-" YES. I KNOW. BUT TRUST ME, THAT ONE HAS OTHER PLANS. *cough- fukuchi- cough-*)
Ranpo: Skwovet (Snacks. Just... snacks. Ranpo can deduce cases just fine, but ohs to the woes, he needs more places to stash his snacks. Bam. These babies. But if he wants a Pokemon to enjoy snacking with, Morpeko is the second choice. It's either stash is or eat it, bois.)
Yosano: Blissey (Blissey knows your location. Blissey is approaching your location. Blissey is at your frontdoor. Blissey offers you an egg in these trying times. [ . . . ] Look it's either Blissey incoming or Hattrem incoming, an egg or an smack, pick your poison.)
Kunikida: Indeedee (This one took me a second to figure this one out. But after thinking of a small few, Indeedee was what I chose with the idea of them helping him and his work. The other two were Espeon, Minccino/Cincchino, and Meowstic.)
Dazai: Absol (Now I hate reusing the same Pokemon [I wrote this stuff out of order hhh], but without spoiling too much, while Absol is known for sensing danger, in Dazai's case it would be that they "bring forth" danger. But other than that, if I did go with my unwritten rule, I would have given him Alolan Ninetails because ahahahaa kitsune dazai agenda)
Tanizaki: Hisuian Zorua (Illusionssss. Illusion buddiessss. And to make it a play on words with snow, I made it be Hisuian form because they spawn in the icelands.)
Kenji: Gyrados (I was planning on giving Kenji Sunflora because he is sweet summer child, but at the same time... my boi can hit like a semitruck. Not to mention the cute story that he caught this very weak Magikarp in his village, took care of it, and the next thing you know this kid is giving their [looks at pokedex] "the literal embodiment of tsunami if angry" on a walk. The absolute humor, guys. The *hinjinks*. That or I go with the trend of him bringing a cow to the agency and give him a Miltank.)
Atsushi: Growlithe (Surprise, we have a Growlithe. This is the closest thing we have to a tiger in Pokemon. Unfortunately, its shiny isn't white but yellow. You can decide whether or not this little Growlithe ir a normal or shiny, but in my hc it's just a white tiger variant of Growlithe LET ME LIVE MY DREAM-)
Kyouka: Froslass (All I could remember before looking at the Pokedex entry was that it has something to do with a soul of a woman, and jus- *Gestures vaguely at Froslass, Demon Snow, and the fact that Demon Snow was previously Kyouka's mother's ability)
PM
Mori: Ursaluna (This one gave me MAJOR trouble trying to figure out. My guy's a doctor, but at the same time is the big mafia boss man. The only other Pokemon I could think of were either Bewere, Drampa, or Dragapult, I don't know why I thought those Pokemon specifically. So I just threw everything out, looked at Fukuzawa's Kleavor, went onto the Hisui Pokedex, grabbed Ursaluna, and yeets it at the man. Ursaluna. God-)
Chuuya: Midnight Form Lycanroc (Angry red pupper, emphasis on red. Yeah, I had to, I am not sorry.)
Kouyou: Milotic (Powerful but also very beautiful ◡‿◡ . But at some point, I thought about Lurantis. )
Akutagawa: Mimikyu (This was in my notes before, but yes! Mimikyu. The popularity battle of Mimikyu v Pikachu is similar to Aku v Atsushi. Other than that, Mimikyu was the closest to being compared to Rashomon, with their shadow arm.)
Higuchi: Heliolisk (Unfortunately we are still unsure of Higuchi's Ability, if Asagiri does intend to give her an Ability. For now, though, I had to go off by her appearance. Simply grabbed black, white, and yellow. Looks at all the Pokemon, and decided on Heliolisk. And to be honest, I like it. Dunno if it's just me, but this Pokemon and Higuchi with her sunglasses on? Heck yeahhhh.)
Hirotsu: Meowstic (A secondary option to Kunikida, I decided to give Hirotsu Meowstic because I think the Pokemon and his Ability are similar. In my head, Hirotsu's Ability is basically an impact or what it is explained, "repulsion". And with Meowstic, it holds their physic power back by their ears. But if provokes and have those ears raise up, it'll unleash that power that it "powerful enough to obliterate a 10-ton truck or tanker to dust.")
Gin: Ceruledge (I wanted Gin's Pokemon to match Akutagawa's in some way but have there be blades. Took a look at Mimikyu's typing which was ghost and fairy. In fairy, Iron Valiant. In ghost, Ceruledge. And while, yes, Iron Valiant looks pretty like her, Ceruledge takes the cake.)
Tachihara: Steelix (Is the only reason I give Tachihara Steelix is because he can manipulate metal, and Steelix is... s-steel type? Yeah I'm not that creative. But if it makes ya feel better, I instantly thought of Onyx or Steelix for this guy.)
Q: Banette (One, it's a doll. Two, similar to Q [in a sense-], Banette was previously a doll that was abandoned. I was thinking about giving this one to Lucy, but I think I could find a Pokemon best suited for her. So Banette for Q!)
Kajii: Voltorb (The only reason is explodey bois. Anyways-)
BSD + Pokemon Pt. 1.5 (ADA + PM Extras!)
I ran out of space on the last one... So here's more! And since it's a shorter list, I don't need to place the 'keep reading' bit WOO-!
ADA
Katai: Rotom (An electric Pokemon for Katai's electric Ability, but very much a helpful companion when it comes to Katai's work as an information broker, even though he's now a former member of the agency. And for the funies, they could either be just like Katai and like to doze or the complete opposite and be like a puppy with zoomies.)
Naomi: Zorua (To match Tanizaki's Hisuian Zorua, really-)
Haruno: Eevee (She just seems like an Eevee girl to me. If I were to give her an Eeveelution though, I would have give her Leafeon.)
PM
Oda: Absol (compliments Oda's "Flawless" with him able to see six seconds into the future and Absol able to detect danger by their horn. [note, I wrote this one before I wrote Dazai's])
Ace: Carbink (One word but several synonyms. Gemstone. Jewels. Crystals. Ya get the gist-)
Verlaine: Midday Form Lycanroc (To more or less match with his color palette [by that I mean his hair] and as well as Chuuya's Lycanroc)
Rimbaud: Pumpkaboo (I dunno, it just seems to fit the man. And- uh- also I took the fact that IRL author is a French poet, and Kalos is Pokemon's equivalent to France, soooo… I cheesed it, I'm sorry.)
Albatross: Revavroom (I'll be honest; I don't know much of the Flags, mainly their personalities, so I'm purely going on the bsd fandom wiki. And here, it says that Albatross was responsible for the mafia's vehicles. It was either this ghost car engine or Cyclizar… O-Or either Koraidon or Miraidon… hm-)
Doc: Litwick (Yes, the Nurse Joys in the anime have the usual Pokemon as their assistant, but they can have other Pokemon. And seeing Doc's description, Litwick seems like the best option when it comes to: "desipite the amount of people he had saved, he had also purposely robbed as many lives in his line of work". Basically Litwick's flame absorbs life energy.)
Iceman: Marshadow (Looking at it now, reading his personality after his occupation, Marshadow seems like the best candidate. Marshadow can merge well in the shadows, keeping itself hidden from people. And in Iceman's description in skills>stealth: "Iceman had the expertise of blending well with his surroundings like a shadow.")
Lippmann: Ninetails (Staring at that man's face, and the fact that he was the one dealing with public relations in the mafia, a really fancy Pokemon suited him. And it came down to Ninetails, Florges, and surprisingly Frosmoth. Unfortunately we don't have them in color BUT we have STAGEPLAYYY, and Ninetails definitely suits this handsome man.)
Piano Man: Gimmighoul (My guy deals with crafting supernotes. Money. Gimmighoul may be a coin, but is the closest to money in the Pokemon universe. So give the funny man a coin for his troubles. I was actually thinking about giving him Chien-Pao, but that's pushing the hc/au[?] that he and Atsushi are related [yes I am on that bandwagon, I adore that hc/au please gimme more unless I write more])
and ye =w= I'll likely do the Guild tomorrow. I already have some ideas for a few of their members, and maybe a few extras as well, maybe the Special Division folks and--to hell with it--Mushitarou ^^
BSD + Pokemon Pt. 2 (Guild + Special Division + Extras)
Yo. I'm back. XD And I have moreeeee as well as some extra folks
Guild
Fitzgerald: Persian (Three words. Rich man vibes. Anyways.)
Louisa: Noctowl (Basic, I know, but it just feels fitting for her. Not to mention, the Pokemon twists its head 180 degrees to increase intellect, similar to Louisa able to use her ability to its fullest as long as she's alone in a private room. That, and owl, and she uses a quill to write. What's more to love? [sidenote, it's actually a pretty big birb, this birb's at least 5". *it's taller than me by an inch or two.*)
Margaret: Altaria (Margaret's ability is basically wind, Altaria might be the closest thing to something related to wind/the sky. And to be honest, I'm kinda proud of this one. I thought Margaret's was gonna be hard, but each time I keep thinking back to flying Pokemon, fluffy cloud birb came to mind and just "done. dusted. stop here, that one.")
Hawthorne: Aegislash (Not my best, once again. Given Hawthorne's ability and his person, I couldn't really find one best suited. Not to mention his ability is quite specific. So I had to go with the fact he could use his ability as bullets and a shield. Offense and defense? Why not change the bullet part to a sword? and boom, Aegislash.)
Twain: Swellow (At first I was gonna go with Talonflame, but then I saw Swellow. And then I keep running into more bird Pokemon. The only reason I stuck with Swellow was because [looks back at bulbapedia] yada yada yada- "It never misses its targets". Compliments his ability well.)
Steinbeck: Arboliva (Terrifying olive tree and the only one I could think of that could fit Steinbeck's ability. Siderant: I ran into these guys when I first played Pokemon Violet, and it was so ANNOYING. I hit it. It hits back. Harder. AND THEN IT SELFHEALS. "But Lavender, you could just run-" It was a trainer battle.)
Lovecraft: Tangrowth (Going with Lovecraft's... [looks at bsdwiki] uh- hm... non-ability, with him able to use his tentacles, Tangrowth does the same with their vines. And similar to the tentacles able to regenerate, Tangrowth losing their arms doesn't trouble them.)
Herman: Wailord (*Gestures at Moby Dick* Need I say more?)
Poe: Corvisquire ([ . . . ] Look it was either going to be a raccoon [Zigzagoon], a cat [none fit the "black cat" aesthetic except maybe Litten], or a bird [Corvisquire or Murkrow]. My guy already has Karl, he could be the Zigzagoon at default, and there are no Pokemon related to books hhhh, so he gets a bird.)
Lucy: Gothorita ([inhalesss] [exhalesss] My first choices was Banette. [looks at Q]. My second choise was Magearna. [looks further down this post]. Then I see Dollive. [Looks at Steinbeck's Arboliva]. Of all that I can manage through skimming serebii's national pokedex, I came across the Gothita line. At first, I felt bad that it was sort of a last ditch plan for Lucy, but looking at the two together, they sort of compliment each other? Maybe? And yes, Gothorita specifically.)
Special Division
Ango: Reuniclus (Just like Mori, I had trouble with this one, but in which aspect. His occupation or his ability. In the end, I grabbed a small aspect of his ability where it does quite the mental strain on him, and this Pokemon line [or rather the second evolution] has that brain aspect. Other than that, though, I have thought of Klefki [for some reason???], Munna/Musharna[what is with these pokemon-?], or just any psychic-type Pokemon.)
Tsujimura: Darkrai (Now I know what you're thinking. "WHY GIVE HER SOMETHING OVERPOWERED?" Well, not only is Tsujimura's ability Yesterday's Shadow Tag something similar when it comes to shadows and Darkrai *is* shadows, but the thought of it comes to the fact that she got her ability through her mother, just like Kyouka with Demon Snow. The idea of someone having such a powerful ability/Pokemon in their hands but is ultimately nerfed due to the fact they're inexperienced, or in Tsujimura's case, unable to control it.)
Taneda: Espeon (Don't know much about the man, but his ability lets him know the nature of another's ability upon its activation. So my guy rolls an active perception check. And of all that I've seen that could "sense intention" were either Raltz/Kirlia, Lucario, and Espeon. And I was tempted in choosing Espeon not by bias, but that they passively have perception check running [odd words there, friend-]. And ye owo)
Extra
Mushitarou: Phantump (Ignoing the Pokemon's pokedex and the implications of a Phantump coming to be, the little guy just keeps reminding me of Mushitarou's little ghost buddies of his Perfect Crime ability. So have the little guy. It he.)
Ayatsuji: Magearna (Yup, pulling these guys up. Again, I don't know much of the other light novels, but I knew enough by the fanwiki. And one thing in particular I noticed besides Ayatsuji being a detective was that he likes ball-jointed dolls. So, Magearna! And to be honest, this Pokemon was what I had in mind to give Lucy but... yeaaaahh that went well-)
Kyogoku: Ghastly (I went all out, 'cos I pulled up articles for this one. Not only is Kyogoku's ability "Possession Drop" said to be of a Yokai Possession, I went to see about Pokemon that are based off on Yokai. And it says here that Ghastly are based off from "Onibi" or just souls that turn into small flames that wander, detached from their bodies. And reading about Kyogoku, it makes sense. Oh, and that generally ghost-type Pokemon are capable in possessing people.)
Next up will likely be DOA and the Hunting Dogs with a few more extras weeeeeeee
( cricket sounds ) Have some random stuff I thought of regarding Beast Universe and Q because I am writing a fic and I needed a place to just... ramble at this point.
welcome to my ramblings, the name's lavender, im here all night www
So from what I could gather, in their present timeline, Dazai became the Port Mafia boss "four and a half years ago", leading to that he likely became the boss just a bit before meeting both Akutagawa and Atsushi. But when adding Q into the mix, they met him when they were six years old. And with a bit of brainhops and calculationg and taking note of their different timeline compared to the OG (Beast is two years behind, making Akutagawa 18 in their present timeline) then the timeline could go like as such:
They met at ages 6 and 15
By the time Mori faked his death, Dazai would have been 16
At the same age, possibly half a year, Dazai would have met Akutagawa, 14 years old, and Atsushi, 12 years old.
Fast forward those four and half years, we have 18 year old Akutagawa, 16 year old Atsushi, and 20 year old Dazai. Present-Beast timeline.
So during that short span of Q being in the Port Mafia and Mori's fake assassination, it would have been at least a year. That's what I have going on in my fic, Q still goes to the Port Mafia after being rescued from wherever they were, I'm going off on a limb and say the hospital. That one is a whole other small tangent and I have somewhat limited space. Going back on track, this is Beast Universe! And Dazai likely foresaw something happening between Q, their ability, and Chuuya (going through some theories that sound plausible enough). But since he knows enough, Dazai more or less has Q go with Mori into hiding once they faked the man's death.
And that's where things are on my end, post-beast, Atsushi and Kyouka at the orphanage under Mori's care, and Atsushi currently meeting Q.
I wanna write a few bit more about Beast!Q, please and thank you, they need the love. They're character is really interesting, that's why I'm writing all this stuff down. But until then, I have a fic to finish writing.
ZZZ!BSD
( . . . ) Yeah, it's gotten to the point where my addictions(I forgot the word for this stuff) collides and- just- I couldn't help myself.
Nothing really special, just if the organizations of BSD are factions in ZZZ (even though it's stated in the zzzwiki that the factions are organizations themselves-) BUT THEY HAVE A COOL LOGO TO GO WITH IT.
SO THAT'S WHAT I DID.
I GAVE EM A LOGO.
With and without background, too. =w=
The next bout of inspiration that comes to me I would the Port Mafia (I already have ideas though but I is tiredd)
Royal Captain Guard Byakko with little "Tiger Prince" Atsushi!
