So I’ve (in my mind) made a swap au. Basically Ritsu swaps with Shou and Mob swaps with Teru. I made two design sheets for Ritsu and Shou.
For Shous design I wanted to keep the spiky aspect of his hair while also making it more down turned. Instead of him being in student council he would hangout with the delinquents like Tenga and his friends so I gave him their color palette and undid the top button of his uniform. He also gets his hoodie color palette from his varsity jacket.
In this au he and Teru are adopted brothers. Shou ran away from his father before he ever awakened his powers and ended up running into Teru who was under the guardianship of Reigen. Shou goes to Salt middle and finds it easier to slack off than focus on school. At some point Tenga and them get beat up by Mob, the Black Vingear Shadow Leader.
This is the start of the Teruki Hanazawa arc (Shiego Kageyama arc in this au) Shou tells Teru about this and then Teru confronts Mob. Teru wins, but not with power. He wins by convincing Mob to use his powers for good and by telling him that he’s just normal like everyone else. After that Shou is confronted by Kamuro. He offers to turn a blind eye to any trouble Shou causes around school if he helps take down the school thugs.
This starts the Big clean up arc. Shou agrees but feels increasingly guilty since the delinquents are his friends. He joins the awakening lab kids in attempt to awaken his own power. After enough build up of guilt he awakens his power. Unlike Ritsu he can control his powers much better in this au, defeating the need for dimple in this arc. He helps beat up the thugs that come to his school in search of Yellow-T poison (Teru lol). Mob finds out and warns him to stop. Shou doesn’t listen and Mob tells Teru. Teru confronts Shou in an ally. Koyama shows up and kidnaps Shou.
7th division arc starts. Since Teru isn’t strong enough the fight is short and Shou is taken. In their cell, Shou and the awakening lab kids, plan to escape. Before the one scar with the massive chin (I don’t know his name) comes around Shou melts through the cell bars and takes out the cell guards. They wander the facility and take out a group of claw soldiers. Ritsu appears and recognizes Shou as the bosses son. They fight but Shou loses since his powers are so new to him. Teru finds Shou and freaks out. Ritsu quickly knocks him out and they are taken to the room where they can’t use their powers. Shou and Teru make up and Reigen gets them out of the room. The division leaders attempt to stop them. Mob isn’t confident in his fighting skills so transfers his powers to Teru so he can fight claw. Reigen tells him to run and the power transferred to Reigen after he hits 100. With the combination of Teru and Mobs powers Reigen easily defeats the claw leaders. Ishiguro try’s to attack after Reigen runs dry of power. Ritsu stops him. Ritsu reunites with Mob but has to leave, Not before he tells Shou that he has potential. I’m only doing season one because all 3 would be too much to type.
Now for Ritsu. I kept the right heavy aspect of hair while also making more upturned. His pants are the same color as the ones he wears in the world domination arc. I changed the varsity jacket to suit him better and changed the bolt to a spoon because I thought it was funny.
Since Claw’s bosses son ran away they have been on the hunt to look for him. While looking for him they find mob who is very strong. They try to kidnap him but end up getting the wrong brother. When they figure this out they put Ritsu through the awakening experiments to see if he has powers like his brother. The experiments succeed but they are brutal. Since Ritsu is the most successful experiment Toichiro takes him under his wing kind of like replacing his son. Ritsu plays the role of the obedient son but plans to take down claw and get back to his family. He is sent on mission to find good recruits for HQ, he plans to recruit others to help oppose claw instead. After recruiting Fukuda and the other he ends up at division 7. One day a group of kids tries to escape and he stops them. He recognizes the leader of the kids as the bosses real son. Ritsu believes he would be a valuable asset for taking down claw. Shou tells him that their are espers stronger than him that he knows. Ritsu immediately thinks of his brother. They end up fighting so that Ritsu can get a gage of Shou’s powers and to lure out his brother possibly. He ends up realizing that Shou could be much stronger than him if he trained his powers. Ritsu waits for Mob to find Shou. He’s disappointed to see Teru show up instead. He knocks him out and drags them to a room where their powers won’t work. His brother is in there to after being defeated but In the moment he can’t recognize him since he has that stupid wig on. He leaves to find out what the division leaders are doing. The division leaders and the intruder end up fighting. Ritsu watches and intervenes when Ishiguro tries to get the final blow in. Ritsu easily defeats him and looks back to tell Teru that he was disappointed in him for being a coward but decides against him when he sees his brother, who no longer has such a stupidly large wig on. They reunite and Ritsu promises he’ll be back but not before acknowledging that Shou has serious potential. After everyone leaves Ritsu gets a call from Toichiro. He informs him that the 7th division was defeated and suggests that maybe claw isn’t as strong as he thinks. Toichiro reminds him that he’s talking to the boss and that he should watch what he says. The call ends and he walk off to get back home to plan claw’s take down now that he knows that there are more strong espers that could help.
Well that was fun. I’m going to start working in Teru and Mob designs too. Hopefully I finish them this week
Some oc art. I tried making it in the Scott Pilgram art style. Making backgrounds is torture 🙁
One of the most heartbreaking scenes in The Dark Era is seeing Dazai trying so desperately to convince Oda to live. Seeing Dazai clutching at straws, repeating back the advice he must have heard a thousand times at him, just to try and get through to Oda even though he knows already that it would never work.
And the worst part is, how through this whole scene Oda is acting just like Dazai, he has the same emptiness that Dazai normally only sees in himself. So now Dazai has to go through the impossible task of convincing HIMSELF to live, something he has been unable to do all these years.
I looked at Dazai. “There isn’t anything, Dazai. It’s all over. Everything. Whatever else happens now is meaningless—just like what I’m about to do. Am I wrong?” “Odasaku…,” Dazai said softly. “Forgive me for the absurd wording, but—don’t go. Find something to rely on. Expect good things to happen from here on out. There’s gotta be something…
And then him telling Oda why he joined the mafia, even though it was clearly something he never wanted to tell anyone, in the vague hope that it just might convince Oda to stop.
Hey, Odasaku, do you know why I joined the Mafia?” I stared at him. We had known each other for a long time, but he’d never even attempted to talk about that. “I joined the Mafia because of an expectation I had. I thought if I was close to death and violence—close to people giving in to their urges and desires, then I would be able to see the inner nature of humankind up close. I thought if I did that…” Dazai paused before continuing, “…I would be able to find something—a reason to live.”
But he can't do it, Oda is too far gone at this point, he lost not only the children, but his dream. He was in unimaginable grief and suffering and just wanted things to end.
I looked at him; he looked back at me. “I wanted to be a novelist,” I said. “I thought I wouldn’t deserve such a life if I killed someone during a mission. That’s why I never killed anyone. But that’s all in the past. There’s only one thing I want now.” “Odasaku!” I began to walk away. Dazai yelled out, but I didn’t turn around. Heading west, I started my journey.
Oda's listlessness is almost a perfect mirror of Dazai in the bar after Ango has betrayed them.
“I’m not sad. I knew from the very beginning,” Dazai said. His face was a blank mask now. “It didn’t matter whether you were with the Special Division for Unusual Powers. I always lose the things I don’t want to lose the most. That’s why I don’t feel anything anymore. The moment you get your hands on something worth going after, you lose it. That’s just how things are. There is nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering.” I stared at Dazai. We had known each other for a while, but this was the first time he’d ever opened up about himself. I could see a thorn the size of a harpoon wedged deeply into his life.
This is why I say Oda is the only character to ever truly understand Dazai, because he saw the part of Dazai that he kept most hidden from the world, he knew Dazai's unending loneliness and emptiness. And in the end, he was consumed by the very same thing. But before he died, he did what only he could do, and gave Dazai a way to escape that emptiness.
More mha x mp100 stuff. I made Teru and Mob’a hero outfits.
Here’s some baseline info: psychic powers in this world have existed for a long long time and have no physical indicators. This makes them different than quirks meaning that espers are technically quirkless.
Design stuff. Mobs whole outfit is a modified school uniform. He isn’t particularly creative so he just used and old uniform instead of making a whole new outfit. In this AU he and Teru haven’t met yet. They also are a year above Ritsu and Midoriya.
Teru time.
Teru’s outfit is as ugly as ever. His shoes are a call back to the ones he wore in season 2 because I liked them. The cargo pants are for stored first aid and other stuff. His hair is long since he hasn’t fought mob yet. The training they do where half the class is villains and the other are hero’s is when they have their big fight.
Bros acting like I hate dazai because other people interpreting their favorite character in different ways hurts their little ego. Do you want a celebration? Should we invite Asagiri?
You’re an unfunny cunt
I’m a dazai fan????? I’ve drawn him multiple times because I like his character so much???? I made a clay figure of him???? He’s also my girlfriend’s favorite character?????
Even if I did actually hate him he’s literally not real at all, he is a fictional character. I fear it was never that deep
floating.
Live action of how I sleep with my plushies
The Flags again because I LOVE THEM!!
