[Osamu Dazai cosplay] Bungo Stray Dogs Dazai/Chuuya original headcanon photography record

This set of photos is our original headcanon of Vampire Dazai and Chuuya in a coercive interaction. Seeing the title and caption of this post, everyone should know what kind of background this is. Let me first explain the conception of this set; the caption mentions it's an original headcanon, so we made some attempts in the characters' costumes and props that deviate from the original work. For this captured vampire little Chu that I cosplayed, the burgundy vintage long dress I wore was specially found, featuring a huge red bow at the neckline, layers of ruffles on the chest and shoulders, and lace trim spliced at the cuffs, aiming to create a gorgeous yet slightly morbid vampire temperament overall. The wig was chosen as a high-brightness orange curly hair styled into a fluffy look, leaving thick long sideburns on both sides to flatter the face shape. To match the vampire setting, the base makeup was made extremely white, the eye makeup used cool-toned earth tones to deepen the contours, blue circle lenses were worn to make the gaze look more hollow, and the lip color was chosen as a red slightly tinged with blood, but overall toned down significantly. For my partner's Chuuya, the wig is black-grey short hair treated with messy teasing, with bangs covering part of the eyes. On the left chest of his white shirt, I specially pinned a yellow rose embroidery, wearing a grey jacket over it, paired with black dress pants. He held a dagger with a black handle and sapphire decoration in his left hand and a black wand in his right hand; these two props played a huge role during the shoot. At the shooting site, we mainly polished the texture of this duo interaction. I sat in front while he stood behind, with the wand and dagger forming a surrounding oppressive feel from left to right. To show the state of being caught, my body tilted backward slightly, and my gaze drifted toward the lens, while he needed to maintain a dangerous yet slightly smiling expression, with the dagger resting above my shoulder and the wand pressing against my jawline. The lighting was very soft, mainly to highlight the texture of the base makeup and the gloss of the wig, giving the overall frame a stage-like dramatic conflict feel. Actually, this can be considered a small experiment I played with privately; the caption saying it's not a very tasty meal is indeed because original headcanons always carry some personal subjective preferences, whether it's the mix-and-match of costumes or the deviation of settings, which might make some purists of the original work feel unaccustomed. But the most interesting part of duo shooting is giving reactions to each other, like when he whispers lines by my ear, the micro-adjustments of my hand actions and expressions—these details are all ironed out through interaction. Both of us are quite satisfied with the final output effect of this set of photos; from the styling of the wigs and the placement of props to the distance of our standing positions, they are all the result of continuous adjustments. Recording this shoot is also leaving a memento for myself, hoping that when everyone looks at these photos, you can feel the dangerous yet ambiguous atmosphere we wanted to convey in the frame.
