I can’t wait any longer. I have to share him with you all. The sketch for my newest character. Please welcome Dino! Info on him below. ♥ I’m in love with him and can’t wait to add the color. Details below.
Backstory: Dino’s real name was Daniel, and his family called him Danny. He grew up in Keansburg, New Jersey. He didn’t know his father, but his mother was very religious and taught her children to be the same way. One day, his twin sister winds up kidnapped by Raiders and is killed before he could get to her as he was unexperienced and young then. In a rage, he killed the two Raiders that took her. His sister’s prayer beads were clutched in her fingers, so he took them home with him. When he got home and told his mother what happened, she mourned her daughter but wasn’t grateful for him enacting revenge. Instead, she turned her back on him and said, “There is no Heaven for you, for Heaven does not accept killers.” He left home and picked up everything he now knows while traveling on the road. Ironically, killing people was what he turned out to be good at. He settled down with the Atom Cats for a while, but they didn’t like his profession. Dino was a “specialized mercenary that only took hit jobs,” as he called it, which was his way of beating around the bush that he was an assassin. The name “Dino” was the name the Atom Cats picked for him, and the name stuck even after he left.
One day, he gets a request from some Gunners to kill someone in Goodneighbor -- a rival mercenary that recently left their employ and set up shop there. His attack on one of their operating posts and the murder of Winlock and Barnes was enough to merit his assassination. They claimed they couldn’t kill this mercenary without starting a war with Goodneighbor, a war they knew they wouldn’t win. However, if a third party were to remove him from the picture, they just might have been able to pull it off. Dino takes the contract and goes to Goodneighbor to find his target only to find out that the mercenary he was contracted to kill -- Robert Joseph MacCready -- struck his fancy in more ways than one.
Fun fact: his gun is inspired by the Fallout: New Vegas sniper rifles because I like them a lot.
He’s often been told that his style as well as his passion for cooking is odd, but he doesn’t mind. He has always considered himself an oddity. He likes to collect pins and has a bunch on his bomber jacket now. He prefers summer months and midriffs with cuffed jeans. Fucking loves cats. Favorite food: stuffed tatoes with fresh, seasoned razorgrain bread slices.

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one
his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.
ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication
ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.

[ID: a digital comic in two panels featuring bungou stray dogs characters. the first shows atsushi banging open a door and shouting, dazai-san! are you oka- the second shows a shot from the anime where chuuya is holding dazai against a wall by his neck. the text reads, homoerotic atmosphere, and four squares with text point out whats happening. they read, casual hand in pocket, chokehold, knife, and lastly um... followed by two sweat drops pointing at chuuya's knee between dazai's legs. a tiny panel in the corner shows atsushi covering his eyes with his tiger paws and blushing as he says, i'm sorry... end ID]
come here. crack open the canon with me for a minute. consider. what if atsushi hadn't listened to everyone telling him dazai would be fine and left to save him only to witness whatever the fuck was going on in that cellar. consider the bit.
