WELCOME TO PARADISE

Paradise County is an AU that places the Ryu Ga Gotoku characters in 1998 America as young adults living near the poverty line. The town is sleepy, dismal and small-town American. Everyone is trudging towards a dead end. Our art tags are #paradisecounty and #rggburnoutau. Send us a postcard (tumblr ask), we would love to hear from you.

Welcome to Paradise County! A (stretch of a) Like a Dragon AU!

Also known as the "Burnout AU", Paradise County is a passion project putting the RGG characters in 1998 Colorado. Here is a digestible explaining this AU! (Content warnings can be found on the second image provided, more info after break.)

Abandoned Pools and their album, Humanistic is grinding against my skull alongside this AU

I feel like it fits very well

I will definitely draw more based on their songs, I cannot contain myself !!

" Then you can be the wannabe and I can be the remedy, and we can go to hell for all I care."

"Say this is world is not so shallow, when you can't beg, steal or borrow. save your breath, your soul is hollow, and its all too much to swallow."

So maybe im going a bit stir crazy over this AU... with great reason !

!!

I think I'll definitely count this a warmup drawing towards something bigger... 👀

(Mind the bit of wonkiness here...)

I just can't wait to draw more of this AU ^^

Thinking of many other things already!!

Thank you so dang much for being so interested in the AU!!!!!!!!!! We've been geeking out about this piece ever since we saw it, especially the designer behind both Mine and Daigo. We adore this very much :)

Augh, this AU is so so good.

I was thinking of making fanart of this AU since I adore it so much!-- although I am unsure if there's a specific tag I should put it directly under.

I also thought about '@'ing but I figure that's highly obnoxious if I were to make more than one post (which I highly plan on doing !)

We don't know a thing about Tumblr so we don't have a clue if @'ing is annoying or not, so feel free to do it.. We use the tags #rggburnoutau and #paradisecounty for our works so feel free to use those... thank you so much for asking we will absolutely cherish all fanart

This AU's dedication to having a variety of body types is just wonderful. Would love to see more of Sawashiro if you guys wanted to share!

We're pleased you noticed! We haven't made it super visible on our account but we only have a few characters in the AU with the same body type (Kiryu, Yumi, Haruka, Joon-gi I think?)

I LOVE SAWASHIRO JO, he is one of my favorite RGG characters and when I made his burnout AU design I was totally indulgent with making him older, bigger, and greyer. I kind of wanted him to dress like a sleazy Sicilian.... here is him with his girlfriend (and later wife). He likes to throw bottles at Majima's van from his apartment. Thank you for giving me an excuse to draw him again!!!!!!!!!
