In Honor Of The 4th Of July Enjoy Fem Mark Twain

WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME RANPO WEARS HIS TIE BACKWARDS???

I love this so much. Good for him.

I made mini kageyama brothers. Ritsu is made from felting wool and mob was made by carving a pencil with a box cutter lol

(Reigen for size reference)

Everyday I come more and more closer to writing a homophobic mob au. My friend won’t stop bringing it up. I personally think it would be hilarious

Made this as quick as possible. Luckily my soccer game got canceled so I don’t have to delay posting this

Ritsu week 2023: Day 1 childhood/trauma

Really wish I could have made this digitally but that takes way longer. Anyway here’s the little emo kid struggling to eat tomato soup

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

Because a lot of you seem to be conflating intelligence to mean a single thing im going to spell it out for you

DAZAI!

quick on his feet. He reads body language pretty well. he knows what to expect. His disadvantage is that he tends to project his own expectations onto others and this clouds his judgement. He is "intelligent" in the way that he has a great capacity to improvise in tricky situations. He doesn't know everything he just always makes sure to have a plan B C D E F and G. Thats it

RANPO!

he knows all the facts about any given situation. His biggest disadvantages are that his judgement is shoddy at best and he doesn't always know what to do with the information he has. He is used to disregarding information for the sake of peace (like dazai is a killer, or kyoka is a killer or yosano tortured thousands) but that often means he ends up too close to the wrong people. He forgives EVERYONE because for as much as he sees the bad in a person he sees the good. He will always plan for the opposing team to do the right thing even when it isnt likely. He is unreliable and inconsistent. The good thing about him is that as soon as he realizes his mistake he never makes it again.

POE!

JUSTTT as smart as Ranpo. He can GATHER as much information as Ranpo but it takes more effort. He has a lot of resources and technical know how. He knows technology, he knows politics, international law and most importantly people (arguably more than Dazai). His biggest advantage is that he knows exactly how to pressure people into doing what he wants. His mysteries are tailormade to each person and created so that people can only escape when they realize what he wants them to. It is becuase of this that he saw society as a farce. He knows reality and truth are malleable concepts. That's why Ranpo and him are such a good team. Ranpo can see everything immidiately and Poe knows what to do with it immidiately.

Louisa!!!

She can slow down time when she's focused THAT'S her ability. She is capable of thinking of every possibility and coming up with dependable statistics. She's smarter than Dazai but less of an asset because her analysis relies on what she is aware of (preexisting knowledge). In the world of BSD there is ALWAYS something no one is aware of. She isn't as capable of recovering as quickly from a miscalculation so she really only has one shot.

Chuuya!!!

He doesnt need to use his intelligence most of the time because he can pretty much brute force his way out of most things. His intellegence relies on instinct. He has GREAT instincts. He knows when a situation has gone sour. Of course he doesnt usually verbalize it because with Dazai he doesn't need to and when he's alone why would he announce it to an enemy. He knows when he's safe and when he isn't. His biggest disadvantage is that he doesn't always listen to those instincts. In terms of priorities he almost always puts himself last and that leads to a lot of problems.

NIKOLAI!!!

Nikolai is similar to Chuuya except a bit more extreme because no one's life is his priority. His motivations are unclear and he always goes for the most imoral option. He isn't concerned with a specific desired outcome it is the inconsistency of his own actions that drive him.

FYODOR!!!

Kinda like Poe, in that he knows how to work people, but to a lesser extent and a little like the chameleon that Dazai can be but to a greater extent. He knows what a person wants more than anything and he promises that to them.

His biggest advantage is that he is smart enough to ally himself with people who have nothing else to live for. Sigma, Nikolai, Bram (before Aya), Nathaniel and Fukuchi are all outsiders. They are alone but desperately want to feel like they belong. Fyodors biggest disadvantage is that if those people find belonging elsewhere then his influence on them shatters. He seems to be aware of that? Idk it's too soon to tell.

Mori!!!

He isn't crazy smart. He's just sadistic and cruel. He picks easy targets (children) and slowly takes away their agency. He undoes them until they have nothing to live for and they then become perfectly obedient adults. His biggest disadvantage is that he relies on the chain of abuse and that isn't sustainable as a dynamic for power. Chuuya and Akutagawa have no one above them to preassure them to listen to orders now that Dazai is gone. Also the extreme amounts of abuse he relies on is impossible to ditch out to EVERYONE. That's why he relied on the chain of abuse but that's failing. Mori isn't smart. He's a coward. He takes the shortest path no matter the resistance.

FUKUCHI!!

isn't smart either. He is just THE BEST chameleon. He hid in plain sight. He knows war and war tactics. He's a great spy and facilitating a strong bond with the target is a great spy strategy.

They are not all the same stop conflating their perspectives as "knows everything". It leads to a lot of misunderstandings and a lot of misinformation. DAZAI IS NOT RANPO! He doesnt know everything. He's just really good at pretending he does.

Shou in DC!?!?!!?

This is insane bro
