I decided to compile as many different Chuuyas as possible to track his eye color across mediums/artists and time. Because it varies a lot.
Note: Chuuya is always on the left, with other characters (mostly Dazai) who were in the same illustration on the right for color comparison, since sometimes artistic choices make it hard to pinpoint it just from looking/color picking. First batch is Harukawa-only, then comes other adaptations, and two bonus collaborations.
Harukawa tends to draw him with brown eyes of varying tint and dimness, so the pre-anime collab used brown for his eyes. Wan! also began in 2015, pre-anime, and the colors initially follow the manga's more. Once the anime settled in, all adaptations and collabs turned to it as the gold standard, and Chuuya's eyes become blue everywhere but the main manga and novels, even in wan! more recently. Hoshikawa follows this trend too, except sometimes for the ~artistry~
*I tried to stick to illustrations where his eye colour was visible, so I skipped all monochrome illustrations, wan! coloured pages where his eyes were solid black, and coloured illustrations where his eyes were too small to get the colour. I also excluded the stage plays because all the actors keep their natural eye colours.
A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.
His response: "No, it's my name now."
I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.
Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism ๐๐พ you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
I may have poor mental health, but at least I look good
Haroo, everynyan! I know everyone is loving the college au but I don't have anything at the ready to post about it right now. So while I cook, let me introduce you to a different au of mine that I've been enjoying drawing lately๐.
A little unofficial wedding ceremony after angelzai and demonchuu slaughtered some authorized angels who tried to send Dazai to the purgatory as a punishment for falling for a demon.
...never mind
