Imagine Whumper Who Makes Their Whumpee Solve Hard Math Problems.

I need a fic or c.ai bot like that

I think the main part of my Chuuya overworks himself and is a chronic people pleaser headcanon comes from the fact actual Nakahara Chuuya's poem 'The Village Clock' is imprinted on my brain.

'The big village clock was working day and night. The clockface's paint had already lost it's shine. When I drew near, there were lots of tiny cracks.'

Not the full poem, but the lines that really stick for me. This is just Chuuya to me. Keeping going, keeping working, not smiling as much as he used to. Keeping up appearances. Keeping even his friends at a distance so they don't see he's not as happy as he used to be.

I agree in the latest chapters Chuuya looks tired as hell, but his eyes have always read as tired to me. He's always looked like he needed a nap (It took a moment to find a mostly neutral expression in his introduction because, well, the Dazai effect). The straight across upper eyelids and the rounded lower eyelids just scream "I'm too tired for this" to me

It's quotes from the Mayoi 'Joyous night' cards.

Kouyou: "Chuuya are you saying you can't have what I'm drinking? There's no need to worry so long as you drink in moderation. Surely you can afford a glass at a banquet." Chuuya: "What are you drinking Ane-san? Wine, is it? Interesting... No, I couldn't. I'm you're escort. If something were to happen while I was drunk, well... *sigh* Alright, maybe just a glass. This is a banquet, after all."

Like, yes, I'm fairly certain these are in reference to Chuuya being a lightweight and not wanting to get drunk at a fancy party. But it's also Chuuya not allowing himself to have fun. Kouyou realistically doesn't need escort, Chuuya was likely asked along because she enjoys his company.

It's wine. He collects wine and he won't even allow himself to indulge in his own interests because he's too busy unnecessarily worrying about Kouyou and how people will perceive him at the banquet.

It's the fact despite there being several high ranking mafia members introduced by the time of the three way conflict, Mori always uses Chuuya for his plans. There's really no need for an executive to be the one to check up on the hired assassins, or deliver information to the ADA.

Chuuya even remarks upon it himself, saying he didn't think himself fit for the role of envoy. But he does it because the boss ordered him to. He won't say no.

I don't think Chuuya is the same type of overworker Kunikida is. Kunikida has to have everything done right, he needs it done on time. He has a set of meticulous rules and practices to ensure it gets done correctly.

I doubt Chuuya is the type to be worried over his reports being perfect or "in on time" because he's part of the mafia. This isn't a day job. Sure, there probably deadlines where stuff is time sensitive, but again, Chuuya is an executive. He can delegate such work to subordinates if needs be. I definitely don't think he's above coasting his work and putting in minimum effort as long as the job gets done.

I think Chuuya is an over worker in the sense, that even if he's exhausted, even if he wants to go home and collapse, if Mori handed him another job, he'd do it. He has a hard time saying no to people and it carries over into his work.

And he has difficulty shutting off work mode once he's home. "Might as well sort those emails while I have some spare time" Turns into Chuuya unable to sleep hours later because he lost track of time, drank too much caffeine and has a migraine from staring at a screen for so long.

As for being a chronic people pleaser? Well, we mostly see that in Wan or the anthologies. As I've already stated, Chuuya has a hard time saying no to people close to him. It's important that it's not everyone. If he doesn't know them, he can and will tell them to beat it, if he wants to.

But show him a little of bit kindness? An ounce of respect? Be nice to him for a moment and the people pleasing button gets pressed. He goes about it in a round about way, he can't have you know that's what he's doing so Chuuya makes up excuses as to why he's doing it, but he does it all the same.

We see it when he buys Kenji dinner, or makes everyone shaved ice and plenty of other examples. He has to go above and beyond. He wants you to be impressed because he wants the praise, but he can't have you know that's what he wants.

The only person he doesn't do this with is Dazai. And that's probably to do with how they met at 15 (also because Dazai annoys the hell out of him). They met when Chuuya's people pleasing was at its worst, when he was King of Sheep and had next to no will of his own because Chuuya was too afraid of losing the Sheep to not do as they say. Dazai breaks him out of that.

For all they make the bet that Chuuya's his dog, aside from the odd joke, Dazai is never seen making good on that. He never orders Chuuya around like a dog, they are partners and he treats him as such. When Dazai witnesses Chuuya being treated this way by the sheep, he looks annoyed, he doesn't like seeing it. Chuuya being his dog was always just a silly joke.

Dazai being so annoying that Chuuya couldn't stand to do what he said helped Chuuya break out of some of his people pleasing habits and learn saying no was okay. After Dazai defected, I think those habits came back as Chuuya had to fill the role of Mori's right hand in his absence.

teen dazai finding kid atsushi post odas death and getting super attached to him out of loneliness

he just constantly rambles on and on to this tiny child abt oda and what a great person he was bc he doesn’t wanna b one of the only two ppl alive who remember him that way

dazai, with atsushi tucked under his chin: he was a real good guy. he would’ve taken you in.. you’d have lots of siblings if they were still here…

atsushi who doesn’t like how sad dazai sounds saying that: I have you! :)

dazai, trying not to burst into tears: …o-okay! time for bed now!

I like to think Ody got a little traumatized with water for a while...

(also i want to thank you all for the love on my first post of them….i wasn't expecting that for a silly joke 🧍‍♂️)

dawn and dusk

I saw a really outrageous spin on coffeeshop au that was basically a barista working at a coffeeshop getting targeted by an assassin and now I'm like??? THINKING. Barista!Dazai getting targeted by assassin!Chuuya, but 1. it's way too busy in the coffee shop for Chuuya to carry out the hit without at least several people seeing him, and 2. Dazai is so painfully unaware that when Chuuya walks up to the counter, he just takes Chuuya's order like normal 😭

Chuuya, grumbling about the fact that he gets paid by the body and not by the hour, begrudgingly gets an americano because he's a human espresso and needs to choke down something bitter until his moment arrives. He's got a white-knuckled grip on his mug while he glares daggers at the customers that won't stop coming in and keeps side-eyeing poor Dazai who's up to his elbows in milk and espresso.

(the moment never comes, Chuuya spends hours there playing on his phone trying to blend in like all the college students and workers that are there chilling doing work)

But also, why does Dazai work such long hours and work so hard, Chuuya has other things he needs to do!!

akuatsulucy on their first date

Atsushi, at a restaurant: You guys should get the orange soda, it's amazing.

Akutagawa: Okay, weretiger.

Waiter: Can I get you guys anything to drink?

Atsushi: Orange soda, please!

Akutagawa: I'll have the strawberry soda.

Lucy: Me too, strawberry soda!!

Atsushi:

Atsushi: What the hell, guys ☹️

Headcanon: Atsushi can only fall asleep when he’s either completely exhausted or when he knows he’s safe.

He rarely got a good nights sleep growing up. Something that carried over when he was abandoned to the streets. He’d walk for hours despite having no energy hoping it would tire him out enough.

The first true good night sleep Atsushi had was during a game night with the Agency. Dazai was in the middle of antagonising Kunikida when Atsushi slump forward.

Luckily he only lightly head butted Dazai’s shoulder.

But he didn’t move.

Dazai was going to ask what was up and then noticed Atsushi was knocked out. He got everyone’s attention and Ranpo deduced it was because Atsushi was exhausted.

Kunikida made a note to make sure Atsushi wasn’t overworking himself (hypocrite.) While Dazai attempted to gently pry Atsushi off him. He froze when Atsushi cried out and clung to Dazai’s arm. His whole body shaking with fear.

Ranpo’s grin left his face, he took off his glasses and simply gestured for Dazai to stay.

Dazai frowned but did so. Running a hand through Atsushi’s hair and reassuring him he was here. It was a relief to them all when Atsushi calmed down. Make an adorable chuffing sound as he did so.

Kunikida questioned what was happening and Kenji said he seen animals on the farm act like this. Ones that were injured or had been mistreated by others would act on edge.

But when they found others that made them feel better they’d act more like themselves.

And stick to the others like glue.

And the Agencies were Atsushi’s glue, his safety.

A blanket was wrapped around Atsushi and in the end they all had a sleepover in the living room of the dorm building.

Because after that none of them could bare to leave Atsushi alone right now. And Atsushi had the best sleep he’d had in years.

Caretaker having to learn new skills because of whumpee but its not about taking care of the wounds or how to deal with flashbacks, no.

Its about caretaker having plain straight hair while their whumpee has the most curly hair they've seen.

Learning all about how to care for that type of hair and maybe even whumpee teaching them and ending up having some bonding time.

from my sketchbook! it's a week's worth of doodles, when my classes are boooring hehe
