Giving this one an extra reblog for the funzies.

Shizuo’s part 2 has been released!

The team had a lot of fun planning this announcement artwork, as we couldn’t resist throwing in this meme.

If Shizuo didn’t do what he did during a certain scene, you all might have had to take the dominant approach, dear players!

Per usual, the password is “Pudding”. You can download part 2 here!

We hope you enjoy part 2 of Shizuo’s route! Depending on how things go, Shizuo’s part 3 might come out around his birthday as well!

So my idea of a crossover between Death Note and Durarara!! would be to have Mikado find the Death Note.

A lot of people think Izaya would be the Light Yagami figure, but Izaya isn't the master manipulator genius type that a lot of people think he is. Yes, he can and will manipulate and he is certainly bright, but not in some grandiose, "I have everything set up and planned" sort of way. He likes to have the image of that, but it's not who he is. He prefers the randomness of it all. He loves humans, and therefore treats them like the Sims left on free will, with the occasional little tweak on his part. On that same note, Izaya wouldn't kill random people. He could care less if some people get hurt by his actions, or if they decide to kill each other, but killing is not his forte. The only exceptions to his style are those he dislikes (eg. Shizuo, Saika, maybe Celty) and the odd jobs that require him to take such actions in order for him to get paid (eg. the Amphisbaena arc). In these cases, his actions are more direct and involved, with him at the centre of the danger, which may involve the death of a person.

So instead I see him playing as a Ryuk figure to a much more naive and increasingly unpredictable Mikado. Watching to alleviate boredom, and occasionally poking in to get the ball rolling more.

Mikado with a Death Note is a much more interesting concept, because I can see him actually using it, granted with some hesitation from the start. While Izaya may get rid of any non human characters he considers in the way of his love for humanity (would it work on a demon sword?), Mikado would start using it in his reach for an extraordinary life. And we've seen how far he can push for that in the last arc.

I can see him finding it in the park, in the Mika Harima arc. While I considered giving it to him later, I think right from the start could help him settle into the idea of murder for the right reasons. Of course he wouldn't use it right away. Either he considers it a prank, or sees it as wrong to just test it out and kill a random person, or even just wish death upon them. He would feel tempted when he thinks Seiji and Namie killed Mika, but until he has all the evidence, he would resist.

In the Saika arc, the urge would grow stronger, but of course nobody knows who the actual Slasher is, so he has no way of confirming the books abilities by killing them. Takashit would be a good contender, but there is no final push moment there that could lead him to it.

I think the best contender for the first victims would be Horada and his group, right at the end of the Yellow Scarves arc. After chasing Anri (I know its anime only, but lets include it) and getting Masaomi severely injured, I can see Mikado asking who did this to them, and writing his name down in a sort of silent fury. It's not until the news confirms that Horada and his group were found after dying of heart attacks, when the horror of what he had done sinks in for Mikado. He would quickly hide the Death Note, vowing to not use it again, and won't touch it for a while, at least until the Akane arc.

During this time, I can see Izaya being curious as to the cause of these men dying in such a way at the exact same time. So he might investigate it.

On top of that, I can see the Death Note once belonging to Celty in this universe. She is a sort of grim reaper after all, so if she's lost her head, it's not far fetched to believe, that other aspects of her roll were lost too. Maybe Nebula and Yagiri pharmaceuticals had it, but saw no use for it, and threw it away. Maybe after seeing Horada's death on the news, Celty realises what's happened, remembers her Death Note, and rushes to try and find it before anything else happens.

Perhaps Izaya notices this and decides to try and find it himself. And this is what leads to him finding out it's Mikado who has it, at about the same time Aoba offers to help purge the Dollars. Izaya doesn't really do anything about it, and instead decides to watch how things go. And to prolong it a little, he decides to keep Mikado's secret identity as this universes "Kira" safe.

And of course, after being given the idea to "purge" the Dollars by Aoba, Mikado then begins to consider using the Death Note to do so. His next group of victims are the ones who kidnapped Chikage's girlfriend. And from there, he starts killing anyone in the Dollars who misbehaves. This goes hand in hand with his hope for the Dollars to become like an urban legend. Whether or not he sticks to the murder as a last resort, or he just ignores Aoba as an option I have left undecided. I say this as if I'm gonna write the full thing.

1. Mikado kills the guy who attacks Shinra. Izaya, for once, takes a disliking to his actions, because he wanted to make the guy suffer more for what he did. He doesn't specify why though. Mikado, maybe getting a little more unhinged and tactical at this point, warns Izaya that he himself has hinted at causing problems in the Dollars, and that it would be a lot easier if he wasn't around to do that anymore. Izaya has a rare moment "oh fuck, what have I done, oh fuck, this kid might kill me."

From there I don't know fully how things would go. But I do have some vague ideas for big dramatic moments and how other characters might fit into this. Some of them may be illogical and not add up, but I just think they would be cool ideas:

Can't decide if Aoba: knows about the death note, and is in a similar position; doesn't know, but is part of a growing follower base for this universes "Kira" because it's shown to benefit him in some way; or just straight up dies quickly because of endangering Anri.

Assume that Mikado has a way to ensure nobody else gets ahold of the Death Note, because if either of these guys decide they have had enough and steal it for themselves, that would just be boring.

3. Shizuo gets killed because of acting up one too many times and negatively impacting the Dollars image. Yes there is irony in that.

2. Mikado is definitely posting as "Kira" on the Dollars site, confirming why he killed certain people and ensuring the rest of the Dollars stay in line.

It also emphasises how it might be giving Mikado too much of an ego with how much power it is giving him over some of the most notorious people of Ikebukuro, further cementing the Dollars into the history of the city.

It also gives further fuel to Celty finding her Death Note.

5. The van gang could give some funny references, but they are also there to find the killer. Because they are ruining what was once a decent community.

4. Vorona wants to find and kill "Kira", because if they can kill anyone, including Shizuo, then surely they are a worthy opponent. She also has the added benefit of having a fake name.

Other "Kira" hunters might include: Simon, Akane, Masaomi and the Awakusu.

But those are all my ideas for it. They sort of came to me a while back when someone in the fandom was talking about Death Note. Can't remember who, or what about, but I finally got to have my chance to talk about it.

A while back I said I would write some stuff, but as of now I've decided to go back on that. Deleted the original posts and some of the writing I already did (just simply didn't like it). Not against future writing for fandom stuff in general, but writing up plans like that just stresses me out and I don't tend to deliver on them. Sorry.

Please check it out. Reblog. Spread the word. It was lots of fun working on it. And make sure to play part 1 if you haven't.

Watching Code Geass and hearing all the Durarara!! voice actors got me thinking.

Izaya = Lelouch

Shinra = Suzaku

Nunnally = The twins (Mairu lost her eyesight, Kururi lost her ability to walk)

The comparisons are too real. Angsty smart boys with parent issues and a weird obsession with chess. Younger siblings in their care. Childhood friend who's secretly fucked up and who has caused some weird mixed feelings for angsty smart boy about his intentions. Does this make sense?

I'm just saying.

When I draw Izaya I have to do his eyes extra evil.

I can't remember the specifics of when Izaya started getting access to the underground but I'm guessing it was pretty young for normal standards...actually given the common trend of gang warfare maybe not. But I feel like he got a little more deep into it than any of the colour gang leaders did. Like didn't he get recruited by Kine?

Anyway, given that and his apparent brilliantness its no wonder so little was done about his delinquency. Even his fights with Shizuo. Like imagine being a teacher for him, and trying to inforce the rules, only to have the knowledge that some yakuza guy has got this kids back for whatever reason. "Oil barrels? I don't see no oil barrels?"

On one hand, no wonder he comes off as a little bratty, but can you blame him? You try being a teenage guardian to two younger sisters. I can see why he might have signed up for an easy route too. I know his parents might have sent him money, but how much of that would really help him? He's a student, if something else came along that allowed him to afford a babysitter I wouldn't blame him for taking the deal.

And imagine growing up where some of the only adults in your life were criminals.

There are so many things that tie into how fucked up he is.

This is to the same tune of Arabella's colour being light pink, but MC's colour is definitely pastel blue in my head. Yes I know there are canon characters with blue as their thing, but pastel blue on MC looks so good! Sure, I permit the occasional divergence kinda like how Arabella can go for simple black and white and still work. Pastel blue just translates to MC for me.

Izaya looks like some kind of alien in X2 onwards.

Rereading the manga, and while their dynamic didn't start off on much, seeing Masaomi and Mikado show such concern for Anri in the Saika arc is the good shit.

Why did the durarara!! relay games and that have screenshots that looked straight from a dating sim?

Me: Oooo the mysterious head turn of all the mysterious characters to make this particular character that caught their attention even more mysterious

The family: you're not normal

To whoever granted me the gift of the Durarara!! Saika arc manga from ebay, you have no idea how happy I am right now.

Someone tell the durarara artist that there are tasteful ways for sexy art.

Oh no, I'm home with no work or chores to do. Oh no, I'm sick in bed. Oh no, I found sleepy writing prompts. Oh no, I have free time. Oh no!

Spoopy fog? Freezing like an orphan? Writing an essay about Oscar Wilde? Don't be surprised if I go on a ramble about Dark Academia AU's.

Reblogging AGAIN to let others know. Glitches fixed, yaaaaay

Izaya’s route part two download + bonus comic

Art by Fi. Thanks for all your hard work!

Aren’t childhood memories lovely?

We hope you enjoy both the bonus comic and Izaya’s part 2 here! Per usual, the password is Baccano.

EDIT: Good ending glitch fixed.

Game testing without context:

"Riku, imma be honest, i'm only staring at your titties right now"

Got paper lately. Wanna draw OC's and canon character's in cozy little places.

Does anybody acknowledge Izaya's charm at all? I mean the guy works for yakuza and other big businesses, the guy kinda needs it. And he had to lure teenagers in some how. That sounded bad. No wonder he gets labelled with stranger danger

Any kind of puritan mindset is kinda stupid when it comes to Durarara!! but on a writing level, what was actually the point of all that incest?

Whenever I see something pastel pink I think "Arabella would have that".

If I could go back and design the durarara!! characters living spaces myself I would be one happy weirdo.

Creating characters to insert into the world of Durarara!! has been fun. Like so much of it is just done by messing around with doodles, what if's and further additions to the story puzzle, trying to see what fits. Why is one colour in the colour spectrum missing in this gang war? I dunno, lets insert it. What's a common strangers reaction to these people who fuck with everything? Let's find out! Is there baby? Is there enough dilfs? Who cares lets fuck around and find out. And the funny thing is, the more they last the more in debt we go into their characters. And often it's by complete accident or by chance. This character made a joke? Well lookie here now this canon character has a very deep attachment to this person now. I doodled this character in military clothes? Guess there's part of the backstory decided. Don't get me started on the ones that never made it. Many of them are lost to time, couldn't fit into the portrait. Some just straight up don't appear until much later on in these lives and very few are going to look into that window. So many buddy groups, mothers and children have disappeared now. But they make the survivors stronger and dammit if it wasn't a great time toying with them. No I'm not going to specify on any of this.
