ooooh this is a good one!
I think Chuuya loves good (fancy) food but in his day to day life, he’s buying conbini bento out of convenience or expensive take out for the whole floor bc of the chaotic mafia schedule…he knows how to cook especially healthy food but he also was a homeless kid for the first seven years of his life so he has lots of instant filling snacks stashed around…

Dazai is the auDHD stereotype of “picky eater” who has his safe foods…I feel like he’s a good cook who knows what he likes so he makes it himself (I think in the light novels he makes tofu??? Which is impressive). Dazai is like a cat in the sense that he is a social eater where he likes eating with other people…

Soukoku probably are either the worlds best cooking team together or they have burned the food and the ingredients are splattered on the floor bc they food fight…however cooking and eating together is a love language for them and they probably like making a homemade meal for the other to come home to

Oooh! College skk I love thinking about this! I hope you don’t mind me rambling about this!

Chuuya is an engineering and business double major with a minor in French Lit. He’s a scholarship kid (maybe sponsored by Mori) who is desperate to make the most of his education this prestigious institution (would give him a sports scholarship but that feels almost mean since I made him a double major…like “your ability is your worth” kinda deal that I think college!Chuuya deserves a break from…oh maybe he had one freshman year and then got injured or smth) (Verlaine is his French TA and Kouyou is a Business associated PhD Student who took him under her wing).
Dazai is a psychology major who dips his fingers into every field of study. He’s been asked to pursue a double major in at least four different departments. He probably was a different major coming in (probably business to make his family happy) and he has so much “useless” credit piled up. College isn’t super kind to depressed nd students so he struggles quite a bit but he has a great support system (the Psychology Majors Committee)! (Fukuzawa can be head of department…omg I can make the ADA members pysch associated…my school has a slight psych/business rivalry that works for ada / pm)

Okay I’m too into this au (soukoku are roommates)

Chuuya is smart and, while his emotions and connections cloud his judgement of the bigger picture, I don’t think he’s entirely unaware of the mind games Mori is so fond of playing. I think he genuinely trusts Mori and finds fulfillment and stability in working for the port mafia (why I flip flop on “whether the pm is the best place for Chuuya or not?”)

It was also a bit of a salty comment about some people assuming because Chuuya is physically strong that he is immune to abusive dynamics since he holds the physical power. Chuuya is very weak to manipulation from the people he cares about (the sheep, mori, probably n at one point etc.) I feel like there’s always an interesting powerplay of dynamics going on with Chuuya and “power”
