Thanks @mercybound for the idea!
WIP of a re-draw of my old drawing from 2022 :P
I feel good about it so far ngl
His name is Ipos. He's an animal-type demon, specifically manticore type, from my universe thing I've been working on.
His usual apparence, as you can see here, is humanoid with pointy ears, sharp teeth, and lion mane-like hair 👌
It doesn't help that they're constantly juxtaposed in official art (and in the story in general) in a way that highlights them being mirror images of each other.
(Nod to siglai here too yay)
(This one is my favorite because he's literally sitting over Fyodor's reflection).
The concept of twin flames is one soul inhabiting two different bodies. There is an instant recognition upon meeting one another, like if you've already met them before. According to Dazai, he's already met Fyodor before the story's events but we have yet to hear anything about it. If you look at it from a perspective of them being twin flames, then it could very well be a meeting in a past life, AND we have confirmation of Fyodor being alive for centuries, so what are the chances? Fyodor also says Dazai is his greatest foe since "that man", VERY SUSPICIOUS.
Another aspect of twin flames is how similar they are to each other. During cannibalism, Dazai was able to deduce Fyodor's escape route because "that's what he would do" in his position. When Ranpo's super deduction failed, he noted going up against Fyodor is like going up against Dazai. This doesn't mean that they are carbon copies of each other. Twin flames complement each other in the areas where they aren't similar, like yin and yang. Fyodor values perfection and harmony, Dazai prefers chaos and uncertainty. Fyodor hates humanity for being sinful and foolish, Dazai thinks that's the best part of being human.
Due to these strong similarities and differences, the relationship between twin flames actually tends to be quite tumultuous. It's like being confronted with yourself, particularly the aspects you don't like. Their deepest fears and insecurities will be amplified. They will continue to mirror each other's darkest aspects and insecurities until they force one another to level up (and isn't fyozai in a constant cycle of one upping each other?).
Twin flames are known to experience an almost psychic, telepathic bond with one another. They know what the other is thinking with just a glance. Fyozai literally made up their own secret language while imprisoned together for funsies, and played a number guessing game with each other.
Top this all off with the fact we now know Dazai is the only one who can kill Fyodor using his nullification ability, and we have a slam dunk.
Fyozai ticks all the boxes of a stereotypical twin flame dynamic. Hell, before chapter 113 I was reluctant to ship them because they were so similar I thought the author was gonna drop a bomb and reveal they were related to each other. Now that that possibility is basically zero, I'm all in. I'm floored that this isn't a more popular ship, or at least the most popular Fyodor ship. In Fyodor's campaign letter he literally says he's always alone and the only time he wasn't bored was when he played chess with Dazai. As a Fyodor stan, I love that Dazai is someone he feels he can connect with as an equal. I want that for him. I don't want him to feel alone. (I know, I'm projecting my own loneliness onto a fictional character, tragic)
And I didn't put a read more because they've been driving me insane, so I need to shove this down everyone's throat.
Asagiri you fucking genius
guys I take back every bad thing I've said about him, he's crazy good
Damn, maybe a persona but at the same time an OC, I'm considering calling him not only Wren but also Recensis. Reasons unknown, I just like the name I wrote down lol
Suit and coat Dazai selfie

Not to long after i finished reading ORV i made this huge as timeline to try and explain all the events that occurred. I'm not sure how the quality will turn out so here's a link to the board just incase https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPIxRxEE=/?share_link_id=227892337635 I think this was the most KDJ thing i did before my friend took a polaroid photo of me on my birthday (Feb 14th which is even worse) and the sun glare perfectly censored my face. I was also wearing a white trenchcoat at the time?? it happened numerous times no matter how many locations we did like i was some haunted Victorian child.
I post stuff. Random stuff. Not too good stuff tho lmao || Wren, 21 yo, he/it/they, just a dude unskillfully making stuff
