Extra yap:
I tried to make references using the sheet music choices
The art is honestly barely connected to the themes...it was more like me trying to capture the feeling I get when listening to the climax of the song
The primarily monochrome color scheme is a reference to the White Noise music video
Hopefully Fyodor doesn't come off as creepy or scheming or anything guys he's actually just a silly guy
He also looks like such a fucking rat here I love him
Also the all white outfit is an unintentional reference to the Mersault uniform lmao
holy shit...no way...is that? BSD BAND AU CONTENT !??! explodes
Thinking of doing a series of little arts with each member of the DoA band in the AU as a Will Wood song because they are Will Wood adjacent to me (blame Fyolai for excreting neurodivergence and non-conformity all over their songwriting /aff)
Anywayyssss first installment in the series we have Fyodor as White Noise!
Reasons for picking this song:
The song is generally agreed to have themes of meaning, specifically feeling things are meaningless and finding meaning for yourself in inherently meaningless things
Some people interpret the song to also be how capitalism and consumer culture strips art of meaning or waters down what is considered art and why
The last verse gives me inexplicable Fyodor energy (" you fill your head with thoughts you find you can't even feel. Try to make room in your skull but it's full them. All of the things that you think about think about thinking. I know it's hard, but they're not who you are: They're white noise. ")
Bonus: As far as I'm aware, this is the only Will Wood song that uses cello, so. :3
I just found out recently that Will said the song is actually about suicide and depression...but also as the extension its about not being able to find meaning even in the things you create yourself so it still works.
If anyone cares enough to theorise I would love to hear it <3

Realized that me not being able to draw doesn't mean there has to be a drought on my blog and I have the #vip-yaps tag for a reason!!
(Also here's a list of characters I didn't include bc I don't care/know enough about them to think abt this for them: Kajii, Karma, Ace, Katai, Ivan, Agatha Christie, all extra SB characters, all extra Gaiden characters. If I didn't include anyone else arguably significant, assume cishetness)
Atsushi
Bisexual mess bc that is fandom consensus and I agree. Cis man.
Dazai
If Atsushi is a bi mess, Dazai is a bi house fire. Also he's demiromantic I think the idea of him being very flirty but actually rarely feeling genuine romantic attraction is an interesting parallel to how outwardly he's just a silly dramatic goober but deep down he's kind of emotionally numb.
Also for me his gender is in this weird spsce of like, I can see him being pretty much any gender. For simpleness I tend to just interpret him as a cis man but I do also really like genderfluid and bigender dazai.
Kunikida
I think he's aroace, leaning to the repulsed/dislike end of the spectrum for both. He's probably well read on queer theory and is aware of the aroace spectrum and he knows a lot of labels (he loves leanring all the hyperspecific labels and terms and shi) but also he's probably had the very amatonormative ideal of like, marrying someone and having a nice little family for a long time so he's still in denial kind of. Also cis man.
Building off these hcs I really like Kunikidazai as a qpr they give me qpr energy
Ranpo
Gay gay homosexual gay /ref. Probably is unlabelled cause he doesnt rlly gaf but he's just homosexual. Also demisexual and demiromantic. And a cis man.
Yosano
Contrary to popular belief, I do not think she's lesbian. But I do think she's primarily a woman enjoyer so bisexual homoromantic. Cis woman.
Junichiro
Transss mann I saw one person say his undershirt looks like a binder and I was SOLD. Also icl he seems straight to me π
Naomi
Another bisexual LMAO what can I say, they're everywhere. Also I lean towards afab demigirl (she/they) but I do like mtf Naomi.
Kyouka
Getting big non-binary energy from this one, maybe genderfae? (All non-masc pronouns and neos(snow/snowself/bun/bunself). Bun is also aceflux and generally under the bisexual umbrella.
Kenji
Whats gender? Can he eat it? Lowk gives me gender apathetic vibes but I hc him as cis. Also he's pansexual, indiscriminate attraction on all levels.
Fukuzawa
Heteroflexible (bisexual with preference for opposite gender) and cis.
Chuuya
Bisexual, I can see him being gay but also him and Dazai give me so much bi4bi energy. Also I think he's a cis man but I do love t4t soukoku.
Akutagawa
Gayyy I cannot see him being attracted to a woman/fem-leaning in any universe. Idc if its cause he's aroace or just gay he has never felt a fem's touch and he'd like to keep it that way please and thank you.
Also I this he's cis, he's quite androgynous but i feel like its less bc of genderqueerness and more bc he's in an alternative culture (goth).
Tachihara
Gynesexual (attraction to feminity). When he was still identifiying as straight he cracked a joke abt femboys and it led to a mild crisis and amusing realization. He identifies as bisexual now.
Higuchi
Androsexual (attraction to masculinity). Her and tachihara are on two sides of the same coin, especially when it comes to Gin. Higuchi and Tachihara have a mild crush on Gin, but are both especially attracted to specifically her work and civilian persona respectively.)
Gin
Speaking of Gin, I actually think she's a cis woman, if only because its amusing; Akutagawa's siblings, cis folks serving androgynous gender envy since 2012. Also she's panromantic sex neutral asexual
Mori
Aroace, because I love the idea of someone who wants to be a parent sooooo badly but really couldn't give a flying fuck about any of the stuff that people tend to expect precede having children. He wishes he could grow a baby with his genes in a lab or something because he doesn't hate anyone enough to allow them to get involved with him like that. Also he's sex neutral, little to no romantic attraction at all and a cis man.
Koyou
Again, not lesbian surprisingly, but mostly because she canonically loved that guy in her backstory. I think she's biromantic homosexual. Also cis woman again but I can see her being transfem
Q
No particular sexuality headcannon, probably queer or aroacespec. Also definitely non-binary, or agender or something they have no gender in my head its never he or she its always 'they'. I also think they might use neos (void/voidself/stitch/stitchself/and others I'm not going to take the time to think of and type out).
Oda
Pansexual cis man
Fyodor
Guys gender apathetic Fyodor is so important to me I need you to understand (/lh). Like, he identifies as a cis man but he actually really doesn't give a shit. Bro hasn't realized that cis men identify as men because it genuinely feel right and not because it just happened to be the gender they were assigned at birth and they 'don't particularly mind it'. If you called him anything other than (he/him) he'd look at you funny but not bc it actually makes him uncomfortable more out of like confusion like "I look like a man right? How strange that that person does not think that I am a man."
Also he's aroacespec for sure in all my headcannons, but for canon compliance I lean towards no romantic attraction type aromantic, and aceflux/sex neutral asexual. Also gay. What little attraction he may experience is always homo imo.
If you asked him what he identifies as he'd say "A servant of the Lord."
Nikolai
When I didn't care about his character as much I always just defaulted to cis man but ngl I like him being genderfaun or gender apathetic or agender or something. Maybe leaning towards agender/gender apathetic cause he probably doesn't really gaf what pronouns are used for him. I think he'd like neopronouns a lot though because the idea is that they identify someone based on them as a specific individual rather than their gender and I think he'd like that.
Also aroacespec again lol but again its flexible I hc him as allo in some AUs. But in the BSD og universe I definitely hc him as specifically grayromantic and sex positive asexual. I think he struggles to tell the difference between romantic and platonic attraction (not helped by the fact he has little experience in either). He thinks he's straight up aroace and delights in the idea that he is 'free' from attraction.
Sigma
Love me some intersex non-binary Sigma (they/them) . Also I specifically hc their physicality and voice is more masculine even though they present pretty androgynously bc I don't often see rep amab enby people who still present relatively masc.
I think they're acespec, either demisexual or sex neutral with no actual attraction. Also homoromantic homosexual.
Fukuchi
Wasn't quite sure whether I ought to put him in DoA or the Hunting Dogs but uh yeah I think think he's biromantic asexual. sex-repulsed too, I think he's not labelled he's just always found the idea of sex off-putting. Also cis man.
Jouno
Aromantic bisexual, masc pref. He's openly bisexual and I feel like he's always known he doesn't experience romantic attraction, and trying to force himself to pretend he does, either as an attempt to achieve deeper connection or to get 'suffering' from leading someone (not worth the effort in his experience btw) on has left a bad taste in his mouth regarding romance. Also cis man again.
Tecchou
Bisexual cis man
Teruko
Fem lesbian spotted. Comphet final boss, pioneer of the straight > bisexual > lesbian pipeline. Also gives me regina george hyperfem type energy. (Cis woman also)
Poe
Homoromantic sex neutral asexual. Also I don't feel strongly abt any gender hcs for him but I do like the idea of ftm Poe/
Louisa
Asexual femme lesbian, clocked it day one. To dispute me over this would be futile (/j).
Lucy
Heteroromantic bisexual cis woman.
Mark
That's a bisexual umbrella man if I've ever seen one. Maybe pan? Also again I don't feel strongly abt any gender hcs for him but I like the idea of him being trans bc he'll just have his top surgery scars out all the time and that's very coolio
Lovecraft
Aroace, not even sure if he has the neurobiological capacity to experience attraction like that. His gender is...its there? Maybe? He probably prefers just being referred to by his name but he really doesn't have it in him to think about this stuff.
Ango
Aroflux homosexual. I love romantic Odango as much as the next person but qpr Odango is also ouhhhhhhh. Also cis man
Mushitaro
Sex-repulsed asexual homoromantic
this look funny so:

I especially hate when people say Lucy's only personality is liking Atsushi, bc it literally isn't. She's actually was already fleshed out during the guild arc and the reason it seems like her only personality is liking Atsushi is bc the fandom only seems to care abt her in the context of Atsushi. Also regarding canon itself Atsushi IS essential to Lucy's character development, their relationship is the turning point for Lucy's character. Lucy would not have turned away from the Guild if not for Atsushi.
The one point I'll give the haters is we don't know much abt Lucy's relationships outside of Atsushi which I admit is unfortunate but that kind of applies to most of the Guild, since there hasnt been like, any extra Guild centric content and most of the members only get screentime/relationship development with one specific other character (Steinbeck and Lovecraft, Hawthorn and Margaret, Louisa and Fitzgerald, Poe and Ranpo).
Also even if you step into the haters shoes, Poe is arguably more centered around Ranpo than Lucy is around Atsushi (seriously even his backstory was facilitated by Ranpo's presence) but a good portion of the fandom adores him regardless.
(also disclaimer this isn't to say I think Poe is badly written)
why do some (not all) bsd fans hate the female characters so much? i donβt get it. like, everybody hates teruko for just DOING HER JOB because she was fighting sigma. then people say, βoh, i donβt like her because her childish personality is annoying not because sheβs a woman just TRYING TO DO HER JOBβ and then their favorite character is ranpo. or, people will hate a female character because she βgets in the way of their favorite shipβ. if you havenβt seen this before iβm happy for you, but an example is βlucy gets in the way of sskk!!β seriously? like, seriously? that is so fucking stupid. (saying this as a sskk/taniatsu shipper) just ship whatever you want and let that character exist. and to those who deny this, if lucy was a man and akutagawa was a woman youβd hate akutagawa because she βgets in the way of atsulucyβ thereβs also the βoh, her only personality is liking a man!!β when we were first introduced to katai his only personality trait was liking a woman and the fandom still loved him. i donβt like that in any character, but iβm willing to put up with it if the author fleshes out the characterβs personality later. i absolutely despise the way this fandom treats female characters, yeah, some of their writing isnβt the best but theyβre still necessary to the plot. this has been lou. iβm sorry for all the rants iβve been doing recently, but iβm pissed about a lot of things. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Bro caught himself lacking π
Someone is falling in love [COMMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN]
I made text dividers from some paintings I liked. I think it's good?
Like and reblog if you're going to use it!
My comedic magnum opus.
Atsushi swears like a sailor at times and everyone around him is so shocked by it.
Akutagawa will use obscure insults from centuries ago that no one is even super sure what it means but it sure feels bad.
Headcanon: Akutugawa rarely swears. Not because heβs against it or whatever. Itβs because he thinks itβs βbeneath himβ to do so.
It lacks any tact or creativity when heβs trying to verbally destroy his opponent in the most painful way possible.
Atsushi however will use ever swear in the book and probably ones no oneβs ever heard of.

Not sure if the original asker will even see this but there's actually a really well explained analysis on Mori that explains why he isn't actually a creep by cash is alive on youtube!
' wife thing was probably started by elise' also remember mori has control over elise's looks/ personality. Before meeting yosano , elise was more like a doll/robot. Even if elise 'started it' mori controls elise. so elise started it, is still creepy.
I'm not arguing or saying people shouldn't like mori( as a character) but even if you like mori which I do understand has its reason ( eg being a big villain etc ) you should acknowledge that mori is atleast creepy
Also saying that bsd mori isn't a creep just because the author wasn't is just not understanding that in bsd the characters aren't 1 to 1 replica to the authors works. I obviously also dislike people who just know bsd mori and label the author a creep ( because irl mori was a really good human being).
Yea you got me there. I don't justify his actions tho.
But bsd mori is kinky and it is seen Best in the wan-
But like i feel like mori doesn't actually like himself, because throughout the show, Elsie is seen insulting mori,
"nobody likes you, Rintaro" is an example of this.
So if my theory is incorrect, then Elsie has some self continuous, if not mori hates himself and makes sure he remembers it
so you're actually a genius ilysm (/p)
BSD chapter 121 β SPOILER / "THEORY"
Something i haven't seen anyone else point out, is that in the last pannel of the chapter, "Dazais" clothes clearly don't fit him
For comparison, both from the same chapter
His coat is clearly too big for him. The sleeves hang too low, usually just below the elbow, now down to his wrists.
His pants don't fit him either, although the coat hides it pretty well.
Overall his clothes are significally more baggy.
His hair is also parted diffrently. Dazais hair is almost always parted down the middle. First I thought his hair was being blown by the wind β thusly messing the parting β but one look at the hem of the coat proved me wrong.
The right side of his hair is instead longer then the left side.
He also seems to not have his neck bandage. The longer then usual sleeves concealing his arm bandages (or the lack thereoff).
"Dazai" is morphing into someone else. Which brings me to:
Atsushi is shorter then Dazai, making Dazais clothes most likely too big for him.
The longer side of Atsushis hair is the right one. The parting of hair β while not exact β seems to also match our resident tiger lad.
The illusion of Dazai is being torn apart, as Atsushi realizes its true nature. His own thoughts, fleelings, and conclusions wearing a Dazai themed Halloween mask.
When Atsushi says he 'knows who you are, he's not talking about Dazai or the hallucination, but *himself.*
Atsushi has never needed someone else to tell him to live, but he has always felt like he does.
To be less extra 'bout it, i think Atsushi groked what he is and is going use that to save Akutagawa / kick Fyodors ass.
If i missed or got smt wrong feel free to tell me
Chat schools been kicking my ass but here's some fem!akutagawa doodles (+ style headcannons).
First pic is her in full goth <3
Second pic is basically her casual wear (her usual outfit formula is: long-sleeve top + long skirt + the chunkiest boots to ever chunk + those lil glasses ofc)
Bonus fem!Atsushi live reaction to Akutagawa in the first picture (atsushi move its my turn /j)
And what if I said autism.
(/hj I do headcannon them both as autistic but also I think this makes so much sense even without the headcannon)
thinking fondly abt souheki again,,,,
dazai finding someone as amazing as an ability user (if not more) who can keep up with him and being reassured that he isnt actually taking away their ability, a part of them and their humanity, whenever he touches them(bc we all know dazai is the touchy one) and dazai genuinely thinks ranpo is so amazing anyway and he trusts him so much.
ranpo finding someone who has also felt so out of touch with the rest of humanity, who couldn't understand why people are the way they are and why he feels so different and lost. someone who can keep up with him mentally and never doubts or berates him, someone who defends him from those who do.
smth about souheki man,,,, i love them sm πππ
