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.
Sometimes I just like characters that go "woosh" when I draw them.
Izaya looks like some kind of alien in X2 onwards.
Something beautiful about the comfort of everyday. I think a real act of true love is welcoming someone into it.
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.
Please remember the difference between plot twist and story whiplash.
Sometimes songs just create a vibe of comfort and love and i don't care that the words repeat themselves.
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.
Me: friendship really should be as important and powerful as romance.
Also me: yes but what if?
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
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.
This is a new kind of tag game that I haven't partaken in so this will be interesting.

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.
Since everyone wants to see the connections between The Portrait of Dorian Gray and Izaya Orihara even though his favourite quote is from Lady Windermere I decided to keep that in mind while reading the book and my conclusions are:
Dorian Gray: Mikado Ryugamine
Basil Hallward: Masaomi Kida
Lord Henry: Izaya (BECAUSE NEITHER OF THEM EVER SHUT UP)
I was going to suggest making some sort of challenge based on the amount of spam bots I've had to report in the durarara tag this month, sort of as a joke. But then I counted and it ended up being 32. Whatever sort of challenge that would have ended up being would have inevitably killed someone.
PLEASE CHECK IT OUT GUYS WE WORKED REALLY HARD.

You can download it here. The game page includes guides for both routes currently available to play and credits. It’s restricted, so the password is MHFC.
Be sure to share to spread the news! We hope you enjoy Izaya’s part one!
Thanks for tagging me. It's fun when people include me in these sorts of things. A lot of stuff has happened.
Last Song: Ain't Worried by One Republic (not by choice. It was on the radio. Though I ain't gonna lie it gave me inspiring summer vibes...in August).
Last Show: Rewatched Kuroko no Basket. Lots of thoughts have emerged now that I've glanced into this fandom again. Good for KnB. Bad for other fandoms. Kinda cried about it.
Currently watching: My friend got me watching the Witcher. I have to close my eyes during nude scenes, but for the most part I like it.
Currently Reading: Put everything on pause and am reading Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. I beg everyone, read their writing. If you give a shit about LGBT issues, I suggest you read some actual representation and pick up one of their books.
