#Questions for Ada

One day, your bones will get weary of men who refuse to worship the God in you On that day, you will either slit your soul or gather your spirit, leaving any man who has never called you Holy.

I think Leon would sabotage his own romantic relationships if he had any.

It varies depending on which Leon you apply it to, but I think underneath everything he is a deeply insecure man, and he carries some kind of resentment towards the way his life played out. That he’s likely gotten a little bitter and jaded as he ages, and that thinks of himself as damaged goods. Or that he’s merely a pawn to be played and a tool to be used.

And I think that would impact his perception of love and romance. More specifically, I think he would view it as something he craves, but doesn’t deserve. Because everyone craves some form of love; whether it’s platonic, romantic, familial, or anything else.

I think the idea of settling down is one he often has fleeting thoughts of, especially as he grows older. A saccharine daydream, something that motivates him. Even if it’s unobtainable, the thought of making the world a better place for his future partner and potential children gives him some determination. But that’s all it is, a saccharine daydream.

Because who could love him? Sure, he is physically attractive, but a deep, intimate connection can’t be built on something so superficial. So much of him is classified, wrapped up in a pretty bow of red tape. Like a taunting gift. Who could love a jaded man who can’t share the entirety of his being with them? Someone who’s seen more than the average person should see and know.

I think those factors, among the other obvious ones would have him convinced that a relationship could only end with someone getting hurt. And he’s been hurt enough. So when things really become real, he panics and pushes everyone away. Because who could truly love a man like him?

Now that mermay is over. I have more mermay content. Much thanks to my buddy silvermasquerade who I wanted to talk about a mermaid au with (specifically their twin oc girlies who feature heavily here) and who had a hundred good ideas because now I’m terminally obsessed

So what if there were merfolk dolphins and they lived in an aquarium that does shows and stuff and most of them have an assigned human “handler” to help manage things and maybe to perform with. I think the merfolk are mostly like rescues or relocations?? At any rate the current set up of humans they work with are largely tolerable and even likeable so that’s a plus 🙏 and yes I’m unlearning embarrassment so you get to see my whole sketchbook layouts

(In this specific au the list of names and animals on the top left (above) are the merms, the right side list is the reverse timeline but we’ll get to that later)

Anyway I’ll put some ‘who’s who’ + rambles under the cut, for now @silvermasquerade GET OVER HERE I HAVE YOUR CHILDREN AND SECRET OTHER ART

Ok so. The merfolk are: silvermasquerade’s girls Adaline and Alyssa, the two black haired dusky dolphins

Alyssa (ponytail)’s human is Bo, Adaline won’t take an assigned handler but if she needs an assistant for her performances she’ll borrow someone (usually also Bo). They’re beautiful and so much fun to play dolls with and I love them. I also love forcing Bo and Alyssa to get through the initial absolute refusal to cooperate bc once they figure each other out they are so funny to me

(The rest of these aren’t going to have pics accompanying them because I’m hitting image limit smh)

My contributions to the merms are Quinton, the spotted dolphin who’s (current) human is a yet un-designed and completely un-introduced dude named Rhydian (annoying, sometimes pretends that the merfolk aren’t as sentient as they are bc it’s ‘convenient for him’). Luckily I’m thinking Q eventually gets put with Kallistos instead, who’s one of his besties in canon. He’s also mercilessly, lovingly teased for not being overly subtle by merfolk standards with how intrigued he is by Alyssa’s handler

Estes, a nondescript seal who doesn’t perform atm but ended up taking to one of the employees (Lolo) who was therefore given defacto responsibility of Estes bc she’s so snappy with anyone else. Lolo also happens to be someone that frequently helps train new employees so when Taorna is hired, he also accidentally gets on Estes’ good side. Oops 💕

Mercer, the unreasonably large orca that was brought in who also doesn’t yet perform because they have no one to work with him on it. He’s not quite built for the elegant types of shows they put on anyway, if they ever do a pirate drama he’d make a great sea monster tho.

And Liana, the common dolphin with the yellow ribbon in her hair. Her handler is Ambrose (eyepatch guy) which means she’s almost immediately teased/razzed by the other merfolk for how well the two of them get along. “He’s handsome and kind and -“ “girl please. he’s a HUMAN” but you best believe they are the media darlings and look so cute in their matching costumes

One day I’ll draw them with their humans bc you absolutely have not seen the last of them, I’m obsessed almost to the point of concern, I also need to figure out how to get Betony in here fr. If you thought Mercer towered over them before oh boy

I found you by the pm!dazai and ADA!chuuya au so.. let's ask the big question:

IS ODA ALIVE IN THIS AU?!

Also, who died that made Chuuya abandon the pm? He's very loyal in canon, so what changed?

●Yeah, Oda is alive. he's the port mafia boss! :]

●Who died was Rimbaud! in this AU he lived after fighting Chuuya and Dazai, became Chuuya's mentor and became someone very important to him (I drew him crying when he was compared to Dazai with Oda dying)... but he's not the only reason for him to leave, as I said the boss will change so Mori won't be there (I'll draw what happened to him when I can). some may ask "in the manga both Rimbaud AND Oda died, who'll die in this AU instead of Oda?" there will be someone just y'all wait! :D

[petitesmafia]

domestic skk causes the ADA to get whiplash bc on Monday Chuuya’s sent to their organization to blow up their defence but on Thursday they’re all gathering at Chuuya’s apartment for a dinner party (Dazai invited them)

Chuuya (mafioso): who wants to fight against gravity >:) Chuuya (dinner party host): who wants a second hotpot serving

Chuuya (mafioso): do y’all have a death wish? Chuuya (dinner party host): do any of y’all have any uhhh. allergies

using @transtistic 's 50 lamb questions as a way to reel myself back into cotl and my au, let's go!! the goal is to do all of them, which is wildly unrealistic considering my track record, but you never know

they don't remember much of their life before their head got cut off, including their previous name, so no, they go just by Lamb. not even The Lamb, im not giving them article privileges, lolol

funfact, i started writing a wdcp fic some months ago but stopped after a page or so. there's a crumb actually mentioning this question

there is, however, one person who calls them by a different name

It’s my birthday so I’m gonna be a little self indulgent but ohmygod I need to kiss Ada and Leon. I wanna be their silly civilian gf that’s completely uninvolved with their whole stuff. Just overly positive and silly cause they need some joy in life.

Imagine them having their whole “enemies and lovers” moment and then they come back and immediately get smothered in kisses and bombarded with questions and whatnot. Just like, “HIIII WELCOMEHOMEIMADEHTOCJCOCOLAYWDOBYOUWANTSOMEAREYOUOKAYDIDYIUHAVEAGOODSAYDIDANHTJINGBADHAPPEN?? (๑>ᴗ<๑)”

Idk I wanna be their annoying, whimsical gf-bf. Kiss them all over and just idk take away all their worries. UGH and I need to be sandwiched between them while cuddling. Just covered in a whole bunch of blankets, surrounded by a bunch of stuffed animals and silly trinkets :33 ugh I love them they make me sick.
