My first website was Deviantart. I wrote Durarara reader inserts for Shizuo and Izaya along with other things. Here’s the link if anyone’s interested I don’t post anymore but I try to respond to comments. https://www.deviantart.com/meleena-chan

I’m always open to new friends! Especially since I’m new to the community! If you have an f/o that’s from the same show please hmu! I don’t mind sharing f/os; I think of it as we have unique ones to us but they’re the same if that makes sense? Like AUs kind of.

It has been 15 years, but finally... Finally! Utapri characters are receiving nendoroids!! The release was revealed during this recent Good Smile youtube upload.
For now, only Starish have nendoroids announced, but I think we can expect Quartet Night and hopefully Heavens nendoroids to follow in the future. It seems the Starish nendos will be wearing their Maji Love Tours pilot outfits.
Hello~ I’m a 21yo transmasc (he/him) and a yumeshipper wanting to post art on this site :) I haven’t used Tumblr much so please be patient with me!
My yumeship is Hai Duc (s/i) & Izaya Orihara (Durarara!!). Their ship name is Haizaya 🌊🔪. I’ve been yumeing Izaya since 2024.08.31 💘 info link
My yumeship status is sharing, meaning I’m fine with other Izaya yumes or Izaya fans (feel free to interact, I love seeing Izaya yumeships!!). Note: I’ll avoid interacting with Izaya yume posts unless you interact first or if I’m 100% sure that you’re sharing ^_^
About canon character ships involving Izaya, I don't mind them but I probably won’t interact with those posts as often, sorry 😅 But I’m fine with ccxcc fans interacting with me :)
FYI, I don’t do yumeship fidelity unless we’re close! I currently don’t have fidelity with any Durarara yumes.
Also, I don’t post discourse on this blog or condone toxic behavior so please keep that in mind. I may unfollow/block if I’m uncomfortable with your behavior.
DNI: bigots, proshippers, posting positively about self-harm/EDs, or anyone within those spheres
“Stupid fucking hair. This is why I hate this bullshit.” I huffed as I threw my arms down in defeat. I was not used to this at all. Today is finally the day. ‘What day?’ you might ask, well I’ll tell you! Today is Shizuo and I’s first date. After years of mutual pining, and being oblivious to each other’s feelings, we were finally getting somewhere! And to mark the occasion I decided to trade my usual tomboy look for something a bit more mature and feminine. It took me almost a month to finally get my makeup looking decent. I had pastel pink eyeshadow with a cat eye and a bold red lipstick for flair. I was wearing a lacy white crop top and cherry red high waisted skirt. Black thigh high stockings and ankle boots completed my outfit, including a light gray shawl. This was my first time showing so much skin. My cleavage was hardly discreet since I was extremely busty. To get my confidence up I had been running errands like this, trying to get as used to the change as soon as possible. Once I deemed myself ready, I headed out into Ikebukuro.

I had a bit of time to kill so I decided to stop by my favorite bubble tea shop on the way. I stared at the menu contemplating my choices.
“Hmm, do I want my tiger sugar tea or taro today?” I mumbled to myself
“Who am I kidding? Of course I want the tiger sugar milk tea!”
After the barista handed me my drink, I sipped on it happily and headed outside to the city once more.
As I walked around aimlessly a familiar group of people caught my attention.
“No, no, no! That’s not the appeal of her character at all!”
Ah it sounded like Erika and Walker were up to their usual antics.
I could see Kyouhei’s face contort in annoyance. Might as well go over and save him.
“Kyouhei!” I shouted to get his attention as I ran over. His face flushed when he saw me.
“You didn’t tell me you had a girlfriend, Dotachin!” Erika chirped
“They grow up so fast..” Walker wiped a fake tear from his eye.
“I don’t! I don’t even know who this is. Knock it off you two!” The man’s face reddened even more at their teasing.
“Ouch. You seriously don’t recognize me?”
I cocked an eyebrow as the trio stared in silence.
“MEENA?!”
“Do I really look that different?”
“Sorry I can see it’s you now but give us a break. You’ve never worn something like this before.”
Kyouhei had a point. Baggy band t-shirts and different colored skinny jeans were pretty much my entire wardrobe. An emo icon, I know.
“Yeah ok I see your point.”
“So what’s the occasion?”
It was my turn to turn red now.
“Oh you know… just Shizuo and I’s first date.”
The trio were stunned into silence yet again. Kyouhei was the first to break the silence as he flashed me a huge smile.
“Well it’s about time! Congrats Meena.”
“Thank you~” I beamed.
“I’m actually looking for him right now. I wanted to surprise him. Have you seen him or Tom around?”
“Hmm last I saw them they were near Russia Sushi. I’d say about an hour ago.”
“Awesome! Thanks guys!” I gave each of them a quick hug before I began my departure.
“Shizuo’s one lucky guy.” I laughed and punched Kyouhei’s arm jokingly
“Shut up! I’ll see you guys later!”
I sent them off with a wave and continued my search.
My mood was higher than ever, and I started to hum as I walked along.
Today was going so smoothly! I was starting to feel very confident thanks to the kind remarks about my appearance from friends and strangers alike. Nothing could possibly bring me down from this high.
“Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in.”
I came to an abrupt stop when I heard that painfully familiar grating voice. I braced myself and turned around to face the pest.
“What do you want Izaya? And why are you in Ikebukuro?” I ended up answering my own question when I spotted the Russia Sushi takeout bag in his left hand.
“What, am I not allowed in Ikebukuro Meleena? You’re starting to sound like that barbaric idiot.”
“Don’t call him an idiot.” I growled.
The informant sneered at me with his Cheshire-like smile. One that made me want to punch him in the face.
“I don’t know why you’re getting so upset.”
Izaya snickered
“Oh that’s right. You have feelings for that monster.”
I stood my ground even though the more he talked the more I wanted to clobber him.
“Are you done?”
He placed his fingers on his chin while thinking.
“Hmm I guess I am for now. I am curious as to what that new look of yours is for.”
I knew it was coming. But I had no reason to shy away from the real answer.
“If you have to know, Shizuo and I are going out on a date. I’m on my way to pick him up and you’d better be out of Ikebukuro by the time I find him. I’ll be damned before I let you ruin this day for us.”
Izaya threw his head back and laughed
“You and Shizu-chan?! That’s hilarious. And just who do you think you are to be bossing me around? You’re practically echoing him, it's disgusting.”
Saying this he closed the distance between us and stared into my eyes mockingly.
“Funny, you always say you won’t fight women, but I think you’re just scared because you know I would wipe the floor with you. You’re a coward Orihara.” I spat out those words not breaking eye contact.
He laughed again and sneered at me once more.
“Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda.1”
I clicked my tongue in annoyance.
“Oh fuck off Izaya!”
“How ladylike of you. No matter how nicely you may dress on the outside, you’re still the same foul-mouthed, hot-blooded, tomboy you’ve always been. Remember that.”
My anger continued to churn inside of me. I hated that he was getting the response he wanted out of me. I was done entertaining him.
“Move, or I’ll make you move.” I shot a threatening glare at the informant as I cracked my knuckles to emphasize my point. Some of the tension in my body was released as he surprisingly did as I told. Instead of clicking, the sound my heels were making was more of a firm thud as I walked past him, solidifying my dominance.
“What a shrew. You and Shizu-chan are a perfect match.”
I didn’t bother turning back, instead I let my middle finger respond as I continued on my way.
I luckily had managed to calm myself down after that irritating distraction. My mood picked up as I drew closer to my destination. A familiar towering figure was clapping his hands, encouraging people into the restaurant.
“Come eat Russia Sushi! It good! It cheap!”
“Hey Simon.”
Once I caught Simon’s attention his smile widened.
“Oh Meena! You’re looking very pretty. Are you having a date?”
“You got me.” I laughed.
“I was actually about to ask you if you’ve seen Shizuo around.”
The Russian Chef smiled widely.
“Date with Shizuo? I see him but you make promise to have date here.”
“That was the plan from the start so it’s a deal!”
No one would even think about interrupting us or starting a fight with Shizuo at Russia Sushi, that was a guarantee. After getting the info from Simon I headed off to my final destination.
“I’ll be seeing you soon Meena.”
I gave him a salute with two of my fingers.
My heart began to race as I reached the area Simon saw Shizuo and Tom in. It didn’t take long for me to spot them. Shizuo’s dyed blond hair and bartender outfit made him stick out. I took a deep breath and exhaled trying to psyche myself up. I dodged through what seemed like a sea of people until I finally reached them.
“Shizuo!”
At the sound of his name, my beloved turned towards me. Like many others today, his eyes widened with surprise, and I could see him beginning to blush.
“M-Meena?”
“The one and only.” I winked playfully. It was hard not to tease him.
“I’m here to pick you up for our date.”
“Right. But I’m still on the clock.”
Tom grinned and shook his head.
“Not anymore you’re not.”
“Really?”
“Go on, have fun.” He nudged Shizuo towards me.
“Thank you Tom.”
“No problem. Take care of him for me.”
“Oh I will.”
Tom laughed and waved us off.
Our walk to Russia Sushi was quiet just like usual. I felt so comfortable by his side, but I couldn’t help but have butterflies. My ears perked up when I heard him speak.
“You look beautiful..”
“Thank you.”
He muttered a ‘welcome’ and I smiled. This was very reminiscent of our last outing. Shizuo was so cute it was almost painful.
“Is there a reason you decided to change it up?”
“Well, I wanted to go for a more mature look. I didn’t want to look like a kid next to you. I also wanted to look good for you.”
“You look nice but don’t force yourself to dress up for my sake. You’re beautiful in anything you wear. Whether it’s something like this, or your t-shirts and jeans.”
“O-Oh.”
It was my turn to flush. Shizuo’s words really touched me. He was such a sweetheart. I wish more people would know about this side of him, but another part of me wanted to keep these moments to myself. At this point we were both pretty flustered and couldn’t look at each other. I was grateful when we finally arrived at Russia Sushi. When Simon spotted us he herded us inside quickly.
“Welcome to the happy couple! I have very special table for two of you.”
We had a nice, private little table tucked in the corner away from any potential peering eyes. Simon had placed a couple of lit candles to help set the mood.
“So, how was your day?” I broke the silence as I skimmed the menu. A pointless gesture since I already knew what I wanted.
“It was good. No one really caused trouble today which was nice. I was really just thinking about our…. plans most of the day.” Saying this, he rubbed his neck awkwardly.
“It’s ok Shizuo you can say date.” I couldn’t help but tease.
He flushed and didn’t make eye contact.
“W-Well I just didn’t want to assume.”
“This is a date isn’t it? Both parties have to agree. I think this is a date, what about you? Do you want this to be a date?” This may have seemed like a pointless conversation, but it was important to me. I had been through so many misunderstandings in the past. I just wanted it to be crystal clear so no one got hurt, even though I knew what his answer would be.
“Yeah, I’d like it to be.”
“Then it’s settled! We’re on a date.” I smiled to assure him we were all good. I was happy when he gave me a small smile back.
“Here is order. Special from Denis for Meena.” Simon placed a tray in front of me and my eyes widened in excitement.
“No way!”
Denis emerged from behind the curtain and smiled at my reaction.
“It took a while to perfect it, but I think I got it down. I’ll let you be the judge of that though.”
I laughed in bewilderment
“It looks just like it!”
“What is it?”
“Eel with miso cream cheese! There was a sushi place in the states that served it and I’ve been craving it like crazy! I mentioned it to Denis, and he said he’d try to replicate it.”
“Go on then, let’s see if it’s as good as the real deal.”
He didn’t have to tell me twice. I snatched my chopsticks and placed the first roll in my mouth. I gasped and closed my eyes letting the flavors dance on my tongue, and eventually did a little dance myself. I always did a dance when I ate good food. It was only fair to honor the expert cooks y’know!
“Denis this is sooo good! It tastes just like it, thank you!!”
“You’re welcome. Thanks for being a regular.” The sushi chef smiled.
“Shizuo! You have to try this! Here!” I got too swept up in my excitement that I didn’t even realize I was trying to feed him.
When the realization hit me, I quickly set the roll down and lowered my eyes in embarrassment.
“We’ll let you two enjoy your time together.”
“Yes. Sorry for interrupting.”
With those words we were left alone once again.
“Sorry..”
“You don’t have to apologize. You can feed it to me if you want..”
I was surprised but couldn’t let this moment go to waste. I lifted the roll once again and Shizuo leaned into my chopsticks to make it easier. I felt my face heat up when our eyes met once again. I shook myself out of my overactive imagination as Shizuo chewed.
“That’s really good. Miso cream cheese. Who would’ve thought?”
“Right??”
I was happy we went back to normal.
“Yeah, it fits in with Russia Sushi perfectly.”
We continued to chat and eat well into the afternoon. Once we had our fill, we thanked Denis and Simon and headed out.
I was now seated on a park bench by myself. Shizuo suggested ice cream and I can’t say no to ice cream! That was one thing I loved about us; that we both had a sweet tooth. Shizuo had gone off to grab some since my feet were starting to hurt because I wasn’t used to walking in heels. It was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet of the park in a normally bustling city.
“Hey pretty lady.”
I spoke too soon.
I glanced in the direction of the voice and saw a skeevy guy eyeing me up and down like I was some kind of treat. Ugh.
“I’m on a date right now.” I said bluntly, not expecting him to back off as many don’t.
“What, I can’t talk to you? And what’s the problem? I don’t see him around.”
I was starting to get annoyed. Why can’t men take no for an answer?!
“I’m not interested. Leave me alone.” I guess the date was going a little too well and now the universe had to ground me with my bad luck and harsh reality.
“I’m just trying to have a conversation. What, you think you’re better than me bitch?”
There it was. His real intentions and feelings were coming out now.
“Ooo ouch, you called me a bitch. That really hurt my feelings.” I said dryly not making eye contact. I suddenly felt my arm being yanked and was forced to stand. Man, my mouth always got me in trouble. But what was I supposed to do? Stand there and take it? Fuck no.
“Listen here bitch-” Grabbing me was crossing the line. I snapped. I kicked him in the crotch hard. I towered above him as he cowered beneath me.
“No, you listen pendejo2. I am on a date. I worked hard to dress girly and shit, and I will not have a fuckwad like you ruin my evening. Take no for an answer and leave me alone.” I was about to walk away when the asshole grabbed my leg and dragged me down to his level. Now I was angry.
“Ay no mames!3”
I grit my teeth as I kicked him to try to free myself from his grasp. It didn’t work. I continued struggling until the bastard stopped and whimpered.
“H-Heiwajima??”
I followed his eyes and saw Shizuo about to pop a blood vessel. The two ice cream cones he held in hands were completely crushed and the ice cream was running down his fists. No! We had come so far on this date without him getting into a fight. I'd be damned if he got into one now. I took the opportunity to punch the fucker right in the face. He let go of me instantly and started to run away.
“¡Vete a la chingada mierda!”
I shouted as he ran away. I huffed one last time, attempting to release the last bit of anger in me before calming down completely.
“You ok?”
I turned my attention to Shizuo now. He was trying to lend me a hand to help me up, but his hands were still sticky, and covered in ice cream. I smiled softly at him and opened my purse.
“Don’t worry, I got you.” I handed him several wet wipes and he cleaned himself quickly and helped me off the concrete.
“These purses are pretty handy actually. I can fit loads of stuff in them.” I laughed trying to diffuse the situation.
“I’m sorry I shouldn’t have left you alone.”
“Don’t apologize. You didn’t know this would happen and I took care of it. And that’s all that needs to be said about it ‘kay?”
“Still-”
“Ah-ah!” I hushed him.
“I’m fine, I took care of it. If anything, I’m sorry you had to see me like that. Not very ladylike.” Although I hated it, Izaya’s words stuck with me.
“You punched him pretty good, I'm impressed.”
I was not expecting that reaction.
“Well, let’s just say you’re not the only one who's had their fair share of fights. I’m no stranger to fighting myself.” It wasn’t something I really wanted to bring up on our first date, but it couldn’t be helped.
“I guess we’re more alike than I thought.”
I gave him a half smile.
“Yeah we are. Let’s go get ice cream. I’m pissed because that chocolate one you brought looked so good.”
Shizuo cracked a smile and we headed there together.
By the time we finished eating it was already nightfall. We walked together in silence until we stopped on the sky bridge.
“Wow, what a view.” I gazed in admiration. While I wasn’t raised in a big city, I enjoyed the night life of cities. They were always so bright and beautiful. Nothing like I was ever used to. I unconsciously began humming, something I did when I was happy.
“What are you humming?”
It was such a habit I didn’t notice until others pointed it out.
“Oh, just an old song that’s been stuck in my head.”
“Would it be weird if I asked you to sing it?”
I was not expecting that.
“No but can I ask why?”
“I like hearing you sing; you have a nice voice.” Welp. I was embarrassed again.
“T-Thank you, I appreciate it.” I took a deep breath and started.
