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

Please remember the difference between plot twist and story whiplash.
Reblogging AGAIN to let others know. Glitches fixed, yaaaaay
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.
Gonna get into the habit of reblogging more as I get more comfortable with tumblr
Their parents are said to work overseas and send money back to them. So whether or not if the Orihara kids ever met such financial trouble is debatable. I don't think they would, but I'm certain they would have found it difficult to treat themselves on occasion or go do outings that most kids their age should be able to do. Like I doubt they would be getting the biggest of birthday presents.
So yeah, Izaya may have gotten into the informant job to help out with that.
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.
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.
Shizuo: What the fuck did you do?!
Izaya: Why do you assume I'm responsible?
Shizuo: stares at him
Izaya:... Okay maybe just a little.

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!
I'm the sketch artist and co writer for madhousefruitcake. We're currently working a Drrr!! fangam. Asks about ships won't be accepted
