Creating the flags content that I want to see in the world

[chuuya-fan-page]

Between Dazai and the Flags they probably managed to introduce Chuuya to Dumb Teenager Shit™ right? Because I doubt the sheep did all that much kid shit, sure they had the arcade but other than that?

Dazai dragging Chuuya to the movie theater and pausing outside and saying something like "Oh no they don't allow dogs, too bad let's go home" and Chuuya being like "Fuck that, we are watching this movie"

Albatross telling Chuuya that it is necessary for Mafia members to know how to play Go Fish and Spoons and Old Maid and Garbage and other dumb card games.

The Flags playing Never Have I Ever with Chuuya and then Albatross dragging him out the next night to "give him a fair shot at winning next time"

Parkour attempts. Chuuya getting told using his ability i cheating. Chuuya telling them they're just mad they suck.

Sticking Chuuya on a skateboard, handing him a jumprope and pulling him down a street in a car. Letting Chuuya drive next and pull someone else.

The Flags piling into the back of a truck and fucking gunning it down a road bc one of them knows a spot. They come back smelling like weed and having learned Chuuya gets drunk very fast.

Them playing Mario Cart with shopping carts in a parking lot. Chuuya being told if he keeps making people lighter they're gonna make him play with Dazai.

Chuuya picking up random skills because his dumbass friends coworkers kept getting him into situations where he needed it.

Chuuya finding out that a lot of the flags know how to play at least one instrument and deciding to learn how to play two. Drums and guitar.

Of course now most of the city is covered in memories that make Chuuya remember that his friends are gone.

Hello I was wondering if there’s a specific order I should read the switch au in? I’ve found some but so far it makes no sense to me but that could just be me being clueless. Also I love your art style!!!

I was also wondering what would Oda and the Flags think about Chuuya and Dazai in the switch au.

hi!! tysm!! and no worries! i don’t post anything in a linear timeline or anything so the narrative for the au is probably all over the place. i usually just tell the story of the au through asks but i can put together a quick master list of the switch au in a somewhat chronological order in a future post :] (soon)

as for the flags and oda: (SPOILER WARNING FOR STORMBRINGER)

Do you ever think in the absolutely devastating contrast between dazai’s reaction to odasaku’s death vs chuuya’s to the flag’s? About how Dazai is generally seen as cold and emotionless but odasaku’s death is one of the few moments in which Dazai shows pure, genuine, /unadulterated emotion/. One of the few moments in which he wasn’t the demon prodigy or this omnipotent being and just someone suffering because they just lost their best friend? About how chuuya is his opposite and is this giant ball of strong /loud/ emotions, about how he is by far the most expressive character in the whole story but when he saw his friends die, he had to keep a blank face? About how he consciously fought the urge to scream? About how he was falling apart but he /forced/ himself to keep his emotions at bay because he put albatross needs over his own pain? Detached, apathetic and always in control Dazai Osamu was overwhelmed by emotion and crumbling apart, meanwhile loud, expressive and impulsive Nakahara chuuya was forced into quietness. I just find fascinating that they showed completely different reactions of what they usually show to the world but is precisely that what makes this scenes hurt so fucking much.

Anyway, just a midnight thought

[chuuya-fan-page]

chuuya: forces his own grief down after the other flags died to keep albatross under the impression he saved doc so he died thinking someone survived (while albatross was dying in his arms)

the fandom: how did his acting (how did he) fool fyodor? it's unbelievable! 😡
