I don’t really “script” my DRs. I channel them. That method feels a lot more natural to me, and it’s become a core part of my shifting practice—because the tiny details tend to fall into place on their own. When everything starts connecting, I get genuinely excited. It’s one of the main ways I reassure myself that my DRs are real, and that I’m actually tuning into something that already exists.

Also: I finally worked up the courage to share a little bit about my DRs, because I’ve mostly kept it private until now. The biggest reason I haven’t talked about my DRs much is tied to my ability—and because of that, this post is 18+. So this post is solely about my ability within my DRs.

Content warnings before you continue: sexual assault (SA) and other heavy themes/difficult subjects connected to this ability.

Ability Type: Dual-phase psychotropic ability based on neurological hijacking and biochemical activation.

𝖕𝖍𝖆𝖘𝖊 𝖔𝖓𝖊: 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖚𝖗𝖊

Phase One is passive and always on. I call it the Allure. It doesn’t “charm” people in a cute way—it rewires the parts of the brain responsible for survival, attachment, and instinct. Specifically, it hits the limbic system and the trauma-response circuitry: the part of you that decides danger/safety, approach/avoid, bond/reject, and flips your body into action before you can think your way out of it. Heart rate, blood pressure, adrenaline, focus—your system chooses a lane and commits.

Inside my radius, that system gets forcibly primed. People don’t react based on who they want to be; they react based on what their nervous system thinks it needs to do to survive. Most people default into one of the five acute stress responses: fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or sexual arousal (yes, that one counts). Which response shows up isn’t random—it’s shaped by the person’s baseline neurobiology, attachment patterns, and trauma history. Two people can stand the same distance from me and have completely different reactions.

Phase One also does more than trigger a response. The Allure creates a persistent “backdoor” in the target’s nervous system—a tether I can feel and, over time, map. Once it’s formed, I can pick up surface-level emotional impulses and mental static, especially anything tied to fear, desire, intent, or suspicion. It doesn’t feel like an outside voice to them. That’s the scary part. It registers as their own internal noise getting louder—more urgent, more obsessive, more compelling.

Because Phase One is rooted in survival wiring, it isn’t perfectly static. People can shift responses over time depending on conditioning, exposure, coping strategies, and how their nervous system learns to protect itself. Someone who fawns at first might freeze later. Someone who gets angry might start dissociating. The Allure presses the lever; their body decides how to endure it.

Phase Two is active. It uses the backdoor Phase One creates to influence thoughts and behavior so subtly it can pass as the person’s own inner monologue—like their mind arrived at the idea “naturally,” even when it didn’t.

The only clean off-switch is direct contact with Osamu Dazai’s nullification Ability, which shuts both phases down instantly and temporarily returns the surrounding neurobiology to baseline.

And yes—there are serious downsides. Phase One is why I can’t live a normal life. Public spaces aren’t neutral for me. A train, a café, a grocery store—those are just crowds of nervous systems, and my radius turns everyday proximity into a constant chain reaction. I can’t hold normal jobs, I can’t move through the world casually, and I’ve missed out on basic “normal person” experiences because the Allure makes them unsafe—for other people and for me. Thus, what leads me in part to join the ADA (at least in one DR), since I don't have a lot of options career-wise.

𝖕𝖍𝖆𝖘𝖊 𝖙𝖜𝖔: 𝖆𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖛𝖊 𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖉 𝖈𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖑

Phase One is the constant pressure. Phase Two is the part that makes most people's stomach drop when they even think about it.

Phase Two is an active, high-cost mode that can only happen after Phase One has already established its “backdoor.” On top of that, it requires a very specific enzyme circulating in my bloodstream—a biochemical key that lets my Ability escalate from limbic priming into direct neuromodulation.

Once Phase Two is activated, I can rewrite or overlay cognitive processes in anyone within my three-meter radius. It isn’t loud, theatrical mind control. It’s subtle enough that it can pass as a person’s own thoughts.

What it looks like in practice: Implanting thoughts that sound like the target’s own inner voice—the kind of internal sentences people later swear they “just decided” on. Nudging risk calculations, loyalty lines, and priorities in small, believable increments instead of issuing obvious commands. Steering behavior through the target’s existing logic, so even deep introspection often doesn’t catch it. People don’t report “someone controlled me.” They report “a sudden clarity,” or “a decision that felt inevitable.”

That’s why it terrifies most people: it can feel natural to the person it’s happening to.

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖘𝖚𝖈𝖈𝖚𝖇𝖎 𝖆𝖘𝖕𝖊𝖈𝖙𝖘: 𝖜𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖊𝖓𝖟𝖞𝖒𝖊 𝖎𝖘 𝖓𝖊𝖊𝖉𝖊𝖉

As you can already assume, based off the 'succubi,' title, the enzyme is found in semen. Functionally, it’s not about sex in a romantic sense—it’s about chemistry. Without that key in my system, Phase Two stays poisonous to my body and my own neurology. With it, my Ability can move from “your body is reacting” in Phase One to “your mind is being guided," Phase Two.

That can happen in two ways: Synthetic IV formulations (my standard method). Organic ingestion through sexual contact/oral sex (something I avoid almost entirely, because Phase One makes consent messy in a way I refuse to ignore—exceptions are rare and only exist when consent is unquestionably untainted). Which, is only canonically two individuals I have met so far.

Using semen as a routine activation source would be unethical on its face—and actively dangerous when paired with Phase One. I’m not willing to build operational readiness on something that risks exploitation or contaminated consent. So I rely primarily on synthetic IV formulations developed by childhood friend who is a doctor, who personally did research and formulated this IVs to my biology. These IV cocktails use a lab-produced, weakened analog of the original enzyme—enough to unlock Phase Two, but with lower potency and shorter duration than the organic source. That compromise keeps me from crossing lines I won’t cross, but it comes with a brutal tradeoff.

The weaker synthetic key means I need more frequent dosing to stay functional. Over time, metabolizing it grinds my body down. Even between missions, I don’t baseline as “healthy.” I baseline as someone living with long-term toxic exposure: exhaustion that doesn’t lift, pallor, intermittent tremors, cardiac strain, and constant medical monitoring.

In the ADA DR, Yosano and I eventually land on a partial solution: a permanent IV port with a portable pump. It reduces the damage from repeated needle insertions and allows tighter dosing control, but it doesn’t stop the underlying problem. It just makes the problem survivable for longer.

Organic ingestion changes how my body handles the enzyme. Instead of a short, unstable spike, my system can build a temporary reserve—an internal store of activation potential that: delays the worst poisoning symptoms, extends the window where Phase Two is usable, and stabilizes the output at a higher level.

Because organic activation intersects directly with the Allure and the contamination of sexual consent, I treat it as ethically fraught and only allow it under tightly controlled circumstances—most notably with DR's my ex-husband, who is uniquely unaffected by Phase One and can consent without neurobiological interference due to our abilities being similar and cancelling each other out.

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖇𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖉𝖔𝖓𝖓𝖆 𝖈𝖔𝖘𝖙

Phase Two isn’t free. It charges interest immediately. Each use accelerates a syndrome clinically similar to belladonna poisoning—which is exactly why my Ability carries that codename. Within roughly thirty minutes of deploying active mind control, my body begins sliding into a recognizable cluster of symptoms:

♱ high fever, flushed/dry skin;

♱ dry mouth, difficulty swallowing;

♱ dilated pupils, blurred vision, light sensitivity;

♱ cognitive disturbances: agitation, confusion, delirium, hallucinations;

♱ cardiovascular strain: tachycardia, palpitations, possible arrhythmias;

♱ neurological risk: tremors, and seizures if I push too far.

These episodes can’t be fully prevented—only managed, delayed, and survived. Every Phase Two deployment is a calculated sacrifice of my health. Long term, chronic exposure is slowly killing me. I’m not naïve about that. I’m fully aware that continued use likely caps my lifespan somewhere around thirty. That’s the tightrope I live on: the necessity of using this power versus the physiological, moral, and relational cost of it—every single time.

Is my Ability dangerous? Yes—but it’s more dangerous to me than it is to anyone else. The simplest way to put it is that it turns me into a walking belladonna plant: the toxin is real, the effects are real, and I’m the one absorbing the poison every time I have to use it. That’s why Ranpo sometimes teases me by calling me a “succubus with ethics.” He means it kindly—his way of acknowledging that I could be far worse, and that I’m trying, constantly, to be careful with something that was never designed to be safe.

Let's answer the fun question. I did tarot readings and asked so here is everyone in my all of my BSD DRs' allure responses:

Dazai: Fuck. Just straight up arousal, he hates and loves it at the same time. Dude straight up a freak and edges himself with it, cause it's the "most alive," thing he's felt... Considering that he keeps toying it, the allure adapts and changes it's tactics with him on a near daily basis... So.... what's really funny (to me) is this eventually becomes a 'breeding kink' as his neurology as decided that's the solution to his 'emptiness.' He really hates that part, but again, that is your neurology's fault buddy, not mine.

Ranpo: Freeze, for like 3 seconds and then he's fine. He said at first it was like a buzzing in his head, and eventually he got used to it and could tune it out.

Fukuzawa: Freeze, but in a PTSD kind of way.

Yosano: Fawn, but like aggressive fawn.

Kunikida: Fight, he wants to fight me on everything when within 3 meters. Outside of that, he thinks I work hard and am a hard worker. He can't win.

Mori: Weirdly fawn, and I aggressively hate it.

Atsushi: Flight, like a hissing cat. Home boy legit hissed at me when we first met, like a cat, and ran. He eventually adapts to fawn, but I will forever remember being hissed at.

Kyoka: Freeze, at first. She later adapts to fawn.

Tanizaki: Flight, just straight up flees.

Naomi: Fawn.

Chuya: Fuck/arousal with elements of fight: raw, impulsive attraction mixed with a simmering aggression. It made an awkward first meeting, cause he didn't know and was confused.

Fyodor: Fuck/arousal, and he hates it. Like religiously, hates it, hates me because of it. Which is rude, cause again, it's your own neurology buddy, not my choice.

Nikolai: Fuck/arousal, which he just eventually likes messing with it and seeing what happens.

My BSD DR as memes

There's like, a severe lack of BSD shifting content so I'm here to fill the void 🥹🥹✌🏾

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Karina is one of my bestest friends and my dear loving wife who's also shifting with me and Javier is my older brother (that guy is INSANE I love him)

@karirixoxo69 my beautiful gorgeous wife btw

INTRODUCTION to my BSD DR.

Bungou Stray Dogs — Reality Shifting

Name — Xavi Alonzo Age — 22 04/07/1999 Sex/uality — Bisexual Male Ethnicity — Hispanic Nationality — Japanese Ability — A Clock Stopped: Chronokinesis (Time Manipulation) —   name and ability inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem. Occupation — Detective (Armed Detective Agency)

Backstory — I have little recollection of my childhood below the age of 12. I grew up alongside my sister, and at 16, joined the Port Mafia with her for two years before I left at the age of 18 without her. I managed to alter the member's memories of me to ensure I wasn't able to be searched for and dragged back; even altering my own to ensure the physical trauma doesn't maintain its effect on me. However, Dazai's ability nullified my attempt and it didn't complete its circulation, which left only him with a vague familiarity of my identity.

Ability Pros. 

I am able to manipulate the capacity of time and memory (since memory is drenched in the past, it briefly makes it accessible for me to alter or rid at my will).

I have the ability to freeze, change the tempo of, or cause time to rupture in specific areas such as memory, skill, or sites; muscle memory is unaffected by this. 

Touching a muse of mine can allow me to see into their memories, but I must know both their name and their intention.

If I die an unnatural death, I immediately jump ten minutes back in time with the muscle memory to avoid an ongoing attack.

Ability Cons.

I can jump backwards through time—however, I must take that time from an existing life.

Working with my ability too often can cause me an excessive amount of confusion—which can damage my perception of time temporarily. 

Memories I rid of can be reinstated by a firsthand reminder (which means a memory can only come back if there’s something that reminds them of that memory in front of them; without it, it’s gone until I have the choice to bring it back)

Irrelevant Information — I live in the dormitories with some of the other agency members.

♱ Usually Ranpo’s response to my ability is ‘Freeze,’ but one time I got turned into a man by this man’s gender swap ability (that lasts 72 hours) and it quickly turned into ‘Fuck.’ I jokingly asked if anyone wanted a kiss to explore their sexuality since I’m now a dude, (I mean why not), or just cause why not, and Ranpo jumped up so fast I died. I did not script this man was gay, I did not script anyone's sexualities, (I wanted to keep this as close to canon as possible).

♱ During said above incident, Dazai’s ‘Fuck’ response stayed the same, causing a 72 hour long gay panic that I will never find NOT hilarious. He declined the kiss, couldn’t even make eye contact with me that’s how panicked this man was. I do like that male me was just that hot, flatter me harder.

♱ One time, the cafe downstairs got a new waitress and Dazai spent a week flirting with her to no luck. By the end of the week, said waitress gave me her number. Which irritated the fuck out of this man cause he also flirts with me to no luck, and he was just offended that the waitress got to me with so little effort. In my defense, he is a womanizer and I just never took him seriously from the start. The waitress was also super smart (canon sapiosexual here), and was in college - she was clearly passionate about her major.

♱ I diagnosed Dazai at one point with autism (I’m a psychiatrist there, I can do that), and explained it cause Japan’s structure for psychiatric is not great. I explained that it’s not him being broken or a monster, that his brain was just wired differently. I kept using this stupid metaphor of the world being Windows, and his brain is like Linux and had to translate as he went. It was a dumb metaphor but Dazai genuinely looked like he was going to cry (in a good way).

♱ Vs when I diagnosed Ranpo, he just was like “K, can this get me more sweets and less shitty cases?” “Yes, that was the plan.” “Then that’s all I care about. Plus the fluorescent lights?” “Already convinced Kunikida to change them to save on electric.” “Perfect!”

♱ The closest I’ve ever gotten to seeing “Port Mafia Dazai” was when a man grabbed across a conference table, and he moved so fast to grab the dude. He was pissed. Or the time I insulted him by saying he has a small dick… it was a flash but I learned my lesson cause he was petty bout that.

♱ I don’t know what it is with the ADA and putting people in maids uniforms, but at one point I lost a bet to Dazai and was made to wear one all day. Why do they all like maid uniforms so much????

♱ The ADA at MULTIPLE points had given Dazai advice on flirting with, and trying to get him to date me. Even KUNIKIDA gave this man advice. This was Dazai’s “oh shit they think I’m serious about this one.” (He was. It was painfully obvious.)

♱ Dazai is actually King of Malicious Compliance and Being Petty. Also when he’s jealous, he is a bit crueler than usual. I mention going on a date and he became so much meaner to me for an hour. Like “drag up shit and throw it in your face mean, then storm off for an hour and come back like none of it happened.”

♱ Kunikida is uhhh Kunikida. He has pissed me off at several points where I have enlisted Dazai for aid in revenge.

♱ On such revenge plot, included foraged medical documents basically saying I was pregnant and Dazai was the father. AKA his two biggest nightmares, creating a mini-nightmare. He flipped out, realized the ADA does not have any pregnancy plans or maternity plans, began to draft new policies on the spot while screaming. After 5 minutes, and to me and Dazai’s shock, said congratulations. We thought for 5 seconds Kunikida realized it was a prank, and decided to throw us off. Kunikida did not realized it was a prank, he was shipper of the Dazai x Katsumi train.

♱ Ranpo knew from Day 0 I was a shifter. He only cared that everyone HERE knew he was the Greatest Detective, and that I brought him sweets.

♱ Ranpo also knew I shifted cause I was in love with Dazai. Dude was the OG Dazai x Katsumi shipper, and during several missions would pair us or make Dazai be close. First instance, I had sprained my ankle and Ranpo made Dazai carry me to the car. He did, only cause Dazai enjoys tormenting the hell out of people he likes. (He does).

♱ Yosano is actually really nice! We bonded over medieval torture texts, I translated for her, she had a blast.

♱ Yosano knows I am a freak, I spend 4-5 hours in her office a day, we just yap. Anyway, she knows I’m a freak and has debated several times in calling a priest to see if that does me any good. However, she did not know which priest to call. At one point, she got a spray bottle - That was her solution. To spray me like a cat.

♱ Fukuzawa is so chill. No other comments.

♱ Naomi will ask you innocent-seeming questions but they really aren’t.

♱ Naomi was OG 2 shipper of Katsumi x Dazai. She started asking very personal questions about my type of man, etc. as to gauge how compatible me and Dazai were first. I respect that.

♱ I got kidnapped by the PM my first week. It was fine. Due to my ability, my kidnapper was a 'fawn' response, he bought me chicken nuggets and milkshake then talked (cried) about how his dad walked out when he was 3-4. 10/10. Then the ADA show up, open the trunk where I am chilling and eating, and they just have absolutely no idea what to do with that as a collective. They expected violence, instead they got me just vibing.

♱ They also had a secret betting pool about how/when me and Dazai would get together. Everyone was in on it, including Fukuzawa, even Kunikida joined by a certain point, but Ranpo won in the end. (Of course he did).
