Perfection

ORV as textposts 13/???

I'm working on writing down my OC's story

I wrote the very first part of it and, with the help of some online correcting resources, it looks not too bad I'd say fr

Chapter 1, part 1

My head pounded with each beat of my heart as consciousness slowly seeped back into my senses. Groaning softly, I struggled to push through the fog that clouded my mind. The heaviness weighed me down, making it difficult to discern reality from the remnants of my dreams. As I stirred, the sensation of something soft and sticky beneath me pulled me back to the present. With a start, I opened my eyes to find myself lying upon a peculiar mound of spiderwebs. The realization sent a shiver down my spine, and I quickly scrambled to my feet, my legs trembling with the effort. Warily, I took a few steps away from the web, my gaze darting around the dimly lit cave. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the rhythmic drip of water echoing off the stone walls. Instinctively, my hand found the hilt of the dagger at my waist, a comforting weight in the uncertainty that surrounded me. My eyes swept over the cavern, taking in the remnants of what appeared to be a once-grand structure now reduced to crumbling ruins. The contrast between the decay and the fragile beauty of the small pond nearby struck me, illuminated by beams of sunlight filtering through the cracks above. Turning my attention back to the spiderwebs, I noticed a strange detail that sent a chill down my spine. They appeared to be remnants of cocoons, torn open as if something had recently emerged. The sight filled me with unease, my mind racing with questions and concerns. What kind of place was this? How had I ended up here? And most importantly, was I alone? Pushing aside the unsettling thoughts, I focused on the task at hand: finding a way out of this cave. My gaze fell upon the imposing stone doors at the far end of the chamber, adorned with faded carvings that hinted at a forgotten history.

With a mixture of trepidation and determination, I approached the doors, the weight of uncertainty heavy upon my shoulders. Bracing myself, I pushed against them with all my strength, surprised by the ease with which they yielded to my efforts. As the doors creaked open, revealing a sliver of the world beyond, I hesitated for a moment, overcome by a wave of apprehension. But the desire to escape this strange place spurred me forward, and with a final push, I slipped through the crack, leaving the, no matter how uncertain, safety of the cave behind.

That's it for now lol

So today I felt quirky and made a quick sketch

Reference (Pic 1) + thought process (Pic 2) = the result (Pic 3)

My persona guy. Again. He smiley. I based the expression ever so slightly on this:

Slowly drawing Dazai, my favorite man lmao

A random class doodle of Arraka floating behind Barry. Menacingly.

Asagiri you fucking genius

guys I take back every bad thing I've said about him, he's crazy good

My brain can't stop thinking about fyozai as twin flames (the concept, not the cult)

It doesn't help that they're constantly juxtaposed in official art (and in the story in general) in a way that highlights them being mirror images of each other.

(Nod to siglai here too yay)

(This one is my favorite because he's literally sitting over Fyodor's reflection).

The concept of twin flames is one soul inhabiting two different bodies. There is an instant recognition upon meeting one another, like if you've already met them before. According to Dazai, he's already met Fyodor before the story's events but we have yet to hear anything about it. If you look at it from a perspective of them being twin flames, then it could very well be a meeting in a past life, AND we have confirmation of Fyodor being alive for centuries, so what are the chances? Fyodor also says Dazai is his greatest foe since "that man", VERY SUSPICIOUS.

Another aspect of twin flames is how similar they are to each other. During cannibalism, Dazai was able to deduce Fyodor's escape route because "that's what he would do" in his position. When Ranpo's super deduction failed, he noted going up against Fyodor is like going up against Dazai. This doesn't mean that they are carbon copies of each other. Twin flames complement each other in the areas where they aren't similar, like yin and yang. Fyodor values perfection and harmony, Dazai prefers chaos and uncertainty. Fyodor hates humanity for being sinful and foolish, Dazai thinks that's the best part of being human.

Due to these strong similarities and differences, the relationship between twin flames actually tends to be quite tumultuous. It's like being confronted with yourself, particularly the aspects you don't like. Their deepest fears and insecurities will be amplified. They will continue to mirror each other's darkest aspects and insecurities until they force one another to level up (and isn't fyozai in a constant cycle of one upping each other?).

Twin flames are known to experience an almost psychic, telepathic bond with one another. They know what the other is thinking with just a glance. Fyozai literally made up their own secret language while imprisoned together for funsies, and played a number guessing game with each other.

Top this all off with the fact we now know Dazai is the only one who can kill Fyodor using his nullification ability, and we have a slam dunk.

Fyozai ticks all the boxes of a stereotypical twin flame dynamic. Hell, before chapter 113 I was reluctant to ship them because they were so similar I thought the author was gonna drop a bomb and reveal they were related to each other. Now that that possibility is basically zero, I'm all in. I'm floored that this isn't a more popular ship, or at least the most popular Fyodor ship. In Fyodor's campaign letter he literally says he's always alone and the only time he wasn't bored was when he played chess with Dazai. As a Fyodor stan, I love that Dazai is someone he feels he can connect with as an equal. I want that for him. I don't want him to feel alone. (I know, I'm projecting my own loneliness onto a fictional character, tragic)

And I didn't put a read more because they've been driving me insane, so I need to shove this down everyone's throat.
