So My Idea Of A Crossover Between Death Note And Durarara!! Would Be To Have Mikado Find The Death Note.

Love the idea that by virtue of having dated Izaya, Mikage is one of the few people who aren't afraid of him

Just, oh who's this monster of Ikebukuro?... You mean my cringefail high-school boyfriend?

Seriously? This is the guy you're afraid of?

The guy who went on a monologue about Macbeth for 30 minutes standing on a table at lunch? That loser? Give me a break here guys.

Everyone's like that Izaya he's a cunning fiend who destroys all that gets near him.

And Mikage's like you know he names his knives, right?

So yeah, I might do something here.

Gonna start doing stuff on here whenever I feel like. Art and writing and shit. Send requests or questions I guess. Still figuring tumblr out so do give a bit to adapt. Sincerely, a nineteen year old grandma. 

Happy Birthday to Anri, the Spooky Baby!

I would draw some art but I’ve been a bit shaken by something, and it’s rather late. 

But imagine Anri celebrating her birthday with MC and Arabella (cause she needs some female friends her age, and groping without consent isn't a very friendly thing to do, ERIKA). Imagine Mikado and Masaomi agreeing to hang together and leave them be so that they could have girls night. Imagine them mixing Halloween and birthday traditions together, like dressing up in cutesy outfits, or playing fortune telling games. Imagine them eating ALL the sweets and watching late night movies. Just imagine them being cute, wholesome group of friends. 

Phew, I feel better now. 

Looks like that will be the end of my attempt to celebrate Halloween drrr!! style. 

Please remember to check out the dating sim demo we made on the madhousefruitcake blog, and again feel free to spread the word. You can do that by reblogging the link, doing fanart, memes, or sending asks. 

Happy Halloween

Seeing as Death Note x Durarara!! Crossover is emerging on my feed again, and people seem to like this post, I'm gonna bring it up again. One of my favorite little rambles.

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.

Ah shit, it's late, and I can't find any old drawings. Hmmm...how about...

Imagine Shizuo dressed up as Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza 0.

That will be all. Now I go sleep

Decided to go fuck it and reblog because yeah I sort of do like the witcher. It's my fandom in law.

my friend did fanart of my fic because they're awesome. welcome to like 500 year old Geralt rediscovering customer service but this time he's making coffee not slaying monsters @mocknerd thank youuuu ily

‼️‼️‼️‼️

Happy fathers day to all the dads of Durarara. And by dads I mean the actual dads, like Mizuki, Shizuo, Simon, Denis, and Izaya (YES YOU ARE A DAD JUST ADMIT IT), and NOT Shirou Orihara, Shingen Kishitani and many more. Fuck you to the latter. Fucking take care of your kids. Talk to them. For crying out loud.

Drrr!! Stands for Dad Really Really Ruined me!!

DURARARA!! BELONGS TO RYOHGO NARITA, SO PLEASE READ OR WATCH THE SERIES FIRST BEFORE PLAYING THIS GAME!

Here’s a few screenshots of “Ikebukuro Records”, a Durarara!! dating sim fan game. Thank you to my two lovely artists, (digital artist) mr_glassesarts and (sketch artist and co-writer) MockNerd!

This takes place 7 years after the Final Curtain arc, so some characters may look a bit different (Izaya being one of them). 

Now obviously the player can input their name, I just put “Player Name” to let the players decide what MC’s name would be. So they don’t need to worry about a set one. 

The bachelors available in the game are: Shizuo, Masaomi, and Izaya. 

There’s 3 endings in the demo, but there will be 22 endings in the final game. The demo will have days 1-10 (routes start on day 8), while the amount of days for the full game is TBD. As of now, there are 14 characters from the series, though more will be added in the final game. 

So many that I kinda want to pimp slap myself for being such a workaholic. I love programming this game but sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind.

Some characters from the series will only be seen in certain routes or simply mentioned. 

The demo will be posted on Game Jolt and Itch.io. So far day 2 for Shizuo and Masaomi are finished programming wise, just need the art for ‘em. 

I’ll keep posting updates!
