Can you tell us some random fun facts about Dazai’s pirate crew? You don’t have to spoil anything, just whatever you’re comfortable with sharing! Missing the fic like a limb so it would be fun to have trivia to read while we wait!
Of course!! Here's a few:
Viko has everyone in the crew beat in terms of physical strength. However, despite being the tallest and broadest, he's not the best fighter among them. That title has been held by Dazai for quite some time.
No one in the crew has been able to beat Dazai in a duel, though this could change with the addition of the newest member.
Despite Dazai's sobriety, the ship has alcohol in its stores and the crew is free to consume it.
Chuuya was the first member of the crew to be personally invited to join by the captain since the initial crew was formed. Other members were added through a referral from an existing member and subjected to Dazai's scrutiny.
Poe and Ranpo knew each other before joining the crew and they form part of the original group. Although reluctant to allow animals on board, their refusal to join unless Karl came with them made Dazai relent.
There are two areas of the ship that houses the crew. One is in the back of the ship and has the rooms where Poe & Ranpo, Aku & Atsushi, and Gin & Yosano sleep and the other one is a broader area near the front of the ship where the rest stay.
Haru's full name is "Hikaru" but he chose to go by a shorter name to better suit his life as a pirate.
fake ass idgafer. I saw you gazing off into the distance like you were looking at something far away, something no one else could see but you
Ahhh help I just noticed you have the "angst with a happy ending" tag on your story. How angsty are we talking about? Should I prepare myself ?
You're amazing btw
See my first instinct was to answer this with a "don't worry, it won't be too bad!" response but then I started thinking about it and well...
Dazai's backstory, once it's fully fleshed out, will definitely fit that category and then there's going to be some events later on that hmm...
I'm a sucker for happy endings though! No matter what, there will be hope at the end of the tunnel so just remember that <3
honeybumi: dead or alive?
Sometimes even I don’t know the answer…
But as I’m writing this I can safely say I’m alive!!
When does summer break begin on your side of the world? 👀
Soon!! I’ll be completely done with exams on the 20th and I’m so, so, SO ready. I can’t wait to be back to my usual hobbies. I want to WRITE!!

*does a gay little flourish with my pirate sword that makes the british naval fleet want to kill me*
is there a chunk of writing you’re extremely proud of?? like a paragraph, sentence, etc. that you wrote and you went damn bitch i did that
i love your writing and i’m curious to see what parts stand out to you as the author
Oh great question! I recently had this feeling when I went back to read the story up until this point (it had been a while since I had due to the hiatus) and I had a lot of "wow, how did I do that??" moments lol. I guess I can say chapter 7 gave me that feeling the most with Chuuya's internal dilemma, the action, and the reveal! I remember I spent a long time planning it out and circling through a bunch of drafts to get it right.
Oh! And I'm also proud of the fight skk had in chapter 10 and the buildup behind it because I remember sitting in front of my keyboard after that and going: okay now, how am I going to make them make up?? And then BAM, I figured it out!!
Then there's this scene too:
