NEW CHARACTER ALERT — UEDA AKINARI &

Chuuya doesn't play favorites - until he does.

I love the idea of as Akutagawa gets more into the light the more Atsushi falls into darkness.

And so Akutagawa will have to save him with the lessons Atsushi taught him.

Well along with seeing Akutagawa’s outlook on things change so has his hair. With the whites at the end blending more into the black of his hair.

And his eyes have been getting lighter, in fact currently (123) we have never seen them been as bright not clear as they are now.

And the while Atsushi’s eyes remain light we’re getting more and more instances of them being shrouded in darkness.

The way it started with Akutagawa hunting Atsushi down and now he’s demanding to have him returned to him.

Having to clean the shower is so fucking annoying. It’s clean in there. That’s where I go to get clean. It’s clean dude trust me. Stop fucking growing bacteria and stuff man this is the clean locale. You’re embarrassing me in front of the sink

Concept:

Kunikida helps Atsushi up as they conclude their training for the day.

Kunikida: Your footwork could use some work. Though you should be proud your control over your ability had improved a lot.

Atsushi: Yeah…that’s great..

Kunikida: What’s the matter with you?

Atsushi: Nothing.

Kunikida: Is it Dazai? Has Dazai been making you run around on those stupid errands again?

Atsushi: No, well yes but no it’s not that. It’s nothing important.

Kunikida: If it’s concerns a member of the Agency than it is important to me.

Atsushi: We’ll be late if we don’t go now…

Kunikida: I can allow 5 minutes out of my schedule for this. Now spill.

Atsushi: I don’t want to get better at controlling my ability.

Kunikida: Why ever not?

Atsushi: Because then you guys won’t want me anymore!

Kunikida:…

Atsushi: You took me in because I was a rampaging monster. The presidents ability keeps me in check so if I gain control now…you won’t need me here.

Kunikida:…You’re serious you seriously believe that?! You think we only keep you around because of your ability?!

Atsushi: You…don’t?

Kunikida: Atsushi! You…yes you were bought in partially because of your lack of control. But that’s not the main reason, you know what Dazai told the president?

Atsushi: What?

Kunikida: That you needed a home. That you were scared, practically skin and bone and you needed a home. And the Agency was the home you needed.

Atsushi: Oh…

Kunikida: And I’ll be honest I had my reservations.

Atsushi: Of course you did

Kunikida: That were extinguished the moment I watched you hug a fake bomb to save a group of strangers.

Kunikida: You passed and that makes you one of us and there’s no take backs on that.

Atsushi: It does?

Kunikida: Even…even if you left the Agency to pursue other dreams of yours. You would always be one of us and would always have our support wherever you needed it.

Atsushi: Like Katai?

Kunikida: Exactly, why…why can’t you accept that we want you here. Is it something we’ve done? Have we made you feel unwelcome in any way?

Atsushi: No! No you’ve all been so kind to me but that’s exactly it.

Kunikida: I’m afraid I don’t understand.

Atsushi: My parents left me in a bin bag on the side of the road. The orphanage told me my existence was a chore abd then they kicked me out.

Kunikida: Atsushi…

Atsushi: You want me when no one ever has. And I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and I-

He’s stunned into silence when Kunikida pulls him into a hug.

Atsushi: Kunikida?

Kunikida: I swear upon my very credibility as a member of the Armed Detective Agency. Upon my ideals and my soul that we will never abandon you when you need the most.

He’s surprised when he feels his shoulder get damp before gently rubbing Atsushi’s back as he cries.

Kunikida: And we’ll spend every day for the rest of our lives making sure you know that if we must.

His own eyes begin to water as he hugs Atsushi close.

Dazatsu Month 2025 Day 18 - Death

Part I | Part II

Combining death and flowers~

i don’t think people who don’t read comics/mostly read wfa understand how much of a dweeb tim drake actually is because he was supposed to be a Good Role Model For Tween Boys in the 90s. one time he found out his roommate at boarding school was an alcoholic so he poured all his alcohol down the drain instead of just ignoring it like a normal person. his girlfriend wanted to have sex with him and instead of just saying “i’m not ready” he launched into a monologue about how “making love is like opening a door” and he “isn’t ready to open that door yet” because they “might have adult feelings for each other, but [they’re] still just kids.” 90s tim was the type of kid to remind the teacher to assign homework. he somehow got mad bitches even though everyone highkey thought he was weird. in one panel of one issue he randomly said he had to be “vewwy quiet” and never spoke like that again. he canonically plays dungeons and dragons (or the fictional dc equivalent). the money his dad left him after he died wasn’t even a lot because his dad went bankrupt shortly before his death. like it was a substantial amount but not enough to make him rich. i cannot stress enough that tim was SUCH a Regular Guy TM and constantly worried about not standing out. he purposefully did bad at sports and pretended to be winded in gym class so people wouldn’t suspect anything. like he wouldn’t even try and be average, he would purposefully almost fail. he is not a cool rich skater kid guys he’s such a dork
