Are Dazai And Chuuya The Same Age? If I Understand Correctly Chuuya Is 18 (he Said That When He Was 13

Good luck for your last exam! And happy belated birthday!!

Thank you!! <3 I can't believe I'll be done soon :D!!

Hello honeybumi!

How much of the story have we covered so far? Like are we somewhere in the first half, second half etc

Waiting for the next update like my life depends on it❤️

Hello!!

We are about a third of the way into the story! So we're basically entering the second act now that Ango is officially forming part of the cast and there's a LOT to cover in this part. The first part focused on Chuuya getting himself integrated with the happenings of the crew and now that Ango is here we're finally getting some answers!!

Shamelessly stealing from OPLA (but of course, One Piece is one of THE pirate stories out there) but a song for your playlist: My Sails are Set by Aurora. Probably Chuuya pov!

Yeess! I love her songs and was actually looking into them for the playlist yet somehow I overlooked this amazing one?? Thank you!

the update was amazing!!!!!! your writing is genuinely so amazing,,, dazais slow realization is so fun to read about. i know you said you struggled with the chuuya laughing scene but it was really well written!!

are there any moments/chapters you’re really looking forward to writing next??

Thank you!! It's a short scene but I'm glad my work paid off!

As for your question...YES!! Where do I even begin?? There's this scene that's coming up that's been on my doc ever since I began planning out the story and I've been dying to get to!! Well, I say "coming up" but we wont get to it for a few more chapters. It's a skk scene and I'm excited because we get a change in scenery and it's important for their development but ahh I can't give too much away...

Omg pls do fully flesh out the deleted scene! Or you could perhaps just post a drabble about it on tumblr, if you can’t find a place for it in the main fic. Just a thought! Lmao so Dazai was crawling into bed with Chuuya even during the middle of their Cold War after chapter 10? Awwwwkward!!! Or hmm in chapter 11, when they finally talk again Chuuya notes that Dazai looked more sleep deprived than usual. Maybe he HADN’T been sharing his bed then, and at Chuuya’s insistence that he get some sleep before their next big mission, he did that again and that’s why he looked better rested… aww Dazai sleeps better with Chuuya 💕 that’s really cute

I will!! I've been thinking about writing some extras once the main story concludes, which will cover side stories that didn't fit into the main storyline or that happen after. So far I have one that I know I want to write and if I can't fit the deleted scene, I'll either post it here or as an extra as well.

Also, aside from everything else Dazai had going on in his head, the fight with Chuuya was definitely an added factor to his lack on sleep. His pride also kept him from giving in and joining Chuuya on the bed, and when he would, it would be for as little time as possible. So when they "made up," that night he received the most sleep he'd had in days (which probably still wasn't enough under any sane person's standards lol).

Subconsciously, I'm sure he does sleep better with Chuuya next to him, though good luck getting him to realize that

Hello!! I have two questions about the story:

1) How big is Dazais ship and crew? I just can't imagine how big the ship would have to be for it to comfortably fit 40+ people (that estimated number comes from chapters 11-13)

2) In what part of the world does this story take place in (if there is a specific region)? I suppose they speak japanese in the story, which would mean somewhere around there?

(also I can't describe how excited I am about the next update sugsjvslbahaus)

Thank you!! 💙

Hi!! Happy to answer:

1.) The ship is on the larger side! I searched up a lot of ships while outlining the story but none of them fit the plot like I needed it to (yep, even the ship has lore!) until I eventually settled on a three-masted frigate. The crew is made up of about 50 members, which is a small number when compared to the size of the ship, a type which can hold crews about three-times the size. Btw I referenced this diagram (and then took a few creative liberties) with the structure of the boat:

For reference, here’s a few examples of frigates:

2.) The environmental setting is fictional with some real-world inspiration. They do speak Japanese but there’s also a monarchy which is loosely based on the English throne (hence the references to gold and red uniforms). But really, I won’t use any real-life names of countries or territories, every place they visit will only exist in their story so if you want to picture them in a specific region, go for it!

I’m sorry it’s taking me so long to come back but I will!! 💜

mafia days, post-mission

Hi honey! Are you doing okay? You’ve been very quiet the past couple weeks! I hope you’re fine! xx

Hi! So sorry I’ve been away for a while…

Everything just came at me again (and then it just didn’t stop lol) so I couldn’t be as active on here. I’m hoping to be back soon tho!

Also, sorry for being so behind on my inbox. I appreciate all the asks and I promise I’ll get back to you guys!

<3

like wine.
