Mmmh. Okay okay okay so... I'm actually fascinated by the arahabaki thing. Like really. I think it would be really interesting if Chuuya had some characteristics that made him... Weird. Not inhuman, because he is very human fuck you very much, but just... Weird.
So. List of headcanons about the consequences of having a god sealed inside you.
Chuuya doesn't dream. Like, at all. Doesn't have nightmares either. Sleep is just sleep (sometimes he thinks about dreams and then he's pretty relieved that he can't dream because he has seen the kind of nightmares that people in the mafia have).
Eyes very subtly glow in the dark. It's only apparent in complete darkness so no one knows about it. He's got a slightly better than average night vision.
Chuuya can purr! It's pretty cute and Kouyou absolutely pets his hair to make him purr. It's relaxing.
Can hear the kind of sounds that dogs hear. He's very careful to not let Dazai find that out because if he did, Chuuya would likely die of exasperation by dog whistle. (he doesn't likes the association with dogs but he did gave Kouyou, Akutagawa, Gin and Kyoka dog whistles just in case they're in danger and need help)
You know how humans actually glow in the dark but we can't see it? Well, Chuuya glows way more than your average person. But it's still not enough to see to the naked eye so no one knows about it. Also you know how said glowing has a pattern, looks like stripes? Well Chuuya's pattern looks like the marks of Corruption.
Animals love him which he finds confusing because you'd think a god of destruction would scare animals, not attract them. Amusingly, this attraction also works on Rashomon, who is basically in love with Chuuya. Akutagawa is very embarassed by his coat. Chuuya thinks it's cute :) he gives Rashomon treats sometimes.
Slightly pointier than normal teeth. Mori, Kouyou and Dazai are the only ones who really noticed that (And Dazai knows about it because Chuuya bit him once and it did more damage than planned)
Just slightly enhanced senses all around, which can lead to sensory overload, but it sure is useful.
Can feel when people are looking at him, like needles on his skin. He's not sure if this is a god-sealed-inside-me thing or a martial artist thing tho....
He gets lots of freckles after activating Corruption, like a person spending hours in the sun. It's weird.
Sometimes if you look at Chuuya from the very corner of your eyes you can sort of see glowing red marks on his face, but then you look at him outright and there's nothing here.
If you record Chuuya speaking, there will be a sort of weird tone to his voice, as if another voice, deeper, higher, weirder, was layered on top of his. He doesn't like when his voice his recorded (Kouyou recorded him once when he was singing and the result was pretty spectacular. But in a good way, si she kept the recording).
When he's genuinely angry he actually really sees red. Like, as if he was wearing red-tinted glasses.
He gets a feeling that can be summarized as "????" when he steps into a religious place. As if the place was trying to recognize him and his instincts were trying to recognize the place but neither succeeded so there's confusion on both sides. His relationship with religious places is mutual confusion, and he doesn't like it.
Chuuya can actually growl, which is very intimidating actually.
He has a very weird, very limited kind of synesthesia - when he sees the color red, he can taste the very specific taste of Corruption in his mouth. It's not exactly a bad taste so it's okay. It's just weird.
He has a faster than normal metabolism - he burns through drugs and alcohol pretty fast (which is pretty useful) but he also needs more food than someone his size should.
Chuuya's presence just unsettles people sometimes? Like they can feel there's something bigger and stronger than them in the room. Prey instinct activated!
I can't think of others subtle supernatural signs, but please add more! I would like to see what you think :)

so im thinking of doing a thing. a lil experiment. i was gonna take one of my concepts and just...start writing for it. no plans. just totally wing it and then share it all here! (and then on my site). because i have a feeling that if i don’t, i’ll never get around to actually writing them, and also because part of my success with fanfiction is that i share it publicly; the existence of readers motivates me to keep up with it.
also, none of my concepts are, currently, anything i plan to publish traditionally, but regardless they’ll go through a heavy drafting stage(s) if i ever decide to do so since i am, as i said, totally winging this....so sharing it publically shouldn’t be a problem?
anyway, long intro out of the way, help me choose which concept to start writing for via asks, replies, reblogs, whatever!
no.1 — glitch: cyborg named sacha meets shapechanger named cipher, sci-fi/urban fantasy, futuristic
no.2 — reaper: a psychopomp falls in love with a ghost she’s supposed to reap, a lich king takes advantage of this for its own evil ends
no.3 — untitled: laika is a werewolf who takes in a disaster frat boy of a vampire named kyle. they live together in a big house with many other supernatural beings. genuinely no idea what story i will be telling here.
tagging my general writing tag folks to get this thing going: @muddshadow, @lockejhaven

The WONKA trailer is out tomorrow and it just got me thinking about how unhinged Scratch would be in that chocolate factory.
Oh there's a new Willy Wonka movie??? Interesting...
Scratch would probably go ballistic at the sight of the candy at the factory, would slurp up that chocolate river like it's nothing istg
