I Am A Huge Supporter Of Atsushi With Cat Traits But I Also Think That He Shouldn't Just Mrrph? If Someone

Silly bsd stuff i would totally write about if i had the ability to put two sentences together:

Ada having a pet fish and having to keep atsushi away

Kenji bringing a cow in to the office and sharing with atsushi as everyone watches in horror

Atsushi playing with dazais bandages after they loosen up on his wrists

Kenji and atsushi making popcorn but instead of using a lid they try to catch the pieces with their mouth jumping around like crazy

Dazai being forced to do his own work coz atsushi started eating his papers

Atsushi knocking kunikidas journal off the table out of feline instinct and kunikida going off on dazai when he cant find it

Fukuzawa and atsushi going on walks together because he wants to feed cats and atsushi attracts them

Atsushi pulling akutagawa aside to confirm if goth people really do wear colorful socks under their boots

Atsushi and akutagawa having tea taste tests once in a while

Atsushi encouraging everyone to drink ceylon tea instead of coffee coz he's extra sensitive to coffe breath thanks to his ability

Dazai telling atsushi that naomi is an ability to fuck with him and atsushi playing along even though he can hear her heartbeat

Atsushi doing dazais paperwork on the days he smells soil on him knowing he was visiting oda

Lucy mostly knowing how to make sweet drinks because she knows atsushi likes them most

Atsushi making sushi for kyouka often after junichiro taught him how to roll a joint and he improvised

Chuuya thinking dazais kid is a fucking weirdo for walking around with the strangest contact lenses casually

Not really a request but more ur bsd sickfic hesd canons?

anon....youve read my mind. i wanted to make a post about this so bad and youve given me reason to...i owe you my life. heads up though my headcanons are so inconsistent (for example i have like 10 versions of Akutagawa living in my brain) so these are just the ones i like the most atm :)))

let me know too if you want more of certain characters or additional ones or anything this was fun!!! 💖💖

akutagawa

- he's the best for this because is as healthy as a victorian child (aka not at all). suffering from some kind of ailment at least once a month if he's lucky. worst immune system ever.

- i saw this on another post but i love the idea of him throwing up and then pretending nothing happened. higuchi is like sir????? and he's like. "anyway"

- if he's Really sick though he'll pass out from the exertion of throwing up. like fevers give him the worst body aches ever and he can barely move it's a bad combo. he is bedridden for days against his will. flus knock him tf out

- fainting all the time in general. vasovagal syncope for sure

- he's very unwilling to accept help unless he's at the point where he can't stand up. at that point he'll only accept help from people he's close to (mostly gin). and when it's bad enough, he's scared to sleep alone if he's incapacitated

- fevers also give him horrible nightmares and he has trouble resting well when he's sick because of them

- he is just miserable and makes me sad i just need someone to hold him

dazai

- i feel like dazai was never Allowed to be sick in the past and doesn’t give in unless he's forced to (passing this onto akutagawa of course). chuuya breaks him out of this a bit.

- not used to people taking care of him at all, sort of weirded out by it sometimes. doesn't understand the need for worry

- gets the worst migraines ever and vomits when they gets bad but pretends they're not a big deal

- despite this he is the biggest user of "my tummy hurts". drives kunikida up the wall

- very much the type to pretend to be sick to get out of doing work when he's feeling lazy so kunikida is always suspicious

- kunikida doesn't let him own any medicine for obvious reasons so dazai always goes whining to him when he doesn't feel good

- if he's actually not doing well he'll get weirdly quiet

- but he will always announce before he throws up. most of them can already tell regardless because he gets very drooly

atsushi

- is extremely emetophobic. 100% does not care about other people throwing up but if it's him he will pass out from hyperventilating. probably from some trauma he refuses to address. kunikida is working on it 🙏 (overworked mother fr)

- atsushi has absolutely no concept of resting when ill. he thinks that a fever or cold just makes him work slower. kunikida tells him to lie down and he's like?? why??

- but he does give in quickly and lets people take care of him 💔 he likes being taken care of but won't admit it 💔

- fevered atsushi is very snuggly hes like a cat. he sleeps in a ball when he doesn't feel good

- fevered atsushi is also Too affectionate. akutagawa taking his temperature and atsushi hits him w the "youre really pretty" unprompted

- akutagawa lets him get away with it because atsushi tends to get really down when he's sick if he's not distracted

chuuya

- definitely camps in the bathroom when he's sick and wants absolutely no one to see him (dazai is a rare exception to this rule). dazai takes photos to mess with him but it Really stresses him out

- he needs someone to hold his hair back every time or else he will get vomit in his gorgeous gorgeous hair

- he takes his health very seriously and will not work if he's ill no matter what. he's not sick often but when he is, it's bad

- tends to make himself sick with stress and needs others to tell him to dial it back when he's overworking himself

- he is, however, horribly hung over every other week. like throwing up all day. always calls dazai and begs him for help because he feels awful and doesn't wanna do anything

-very noisy. moaning and groaning from the pain/being uncomfortable. driving dazai up the wall

- sleeps for a very long time when he's sick, like a concerning amount. dazai has to wake him up when he starts to get borderline worried because this man sleeps like a rock

Time for Dazatsu fluffy headcanon

It is saying something about my obsession with my tiger cinnamon roll that I imagined him when I was studying about cat body language.

About my headcanon. Well, it’s not even a secret that Dazai is this master at reading people. He is just so expert at stripping someone naked with his eyes that no one is safe. Everyone held onto their pants (or skirts) whenever they encounter him, to no avail because that person is just so sinfully beautiful and dangerous.

Ehem.

But what if because of his ability, Atsushi showed a completely different body language than normal people? I am not an expert at tiger’s body language so I will just use cat’s. Trivia for you guys who are interested:

Cats don’t like to stare directly into someone’s eyes because to them it means ‘fight me’.

Cats are vocal with their happiness (the beauty of purring that makes human fell head over heels over this furballs), but they are master at poker face whenever they hide their pain. Let me tell you, you will be lucky if they even vomit or loss weight whenever they are in tremendous pain. They are just that good.

They mark things to show possessions over things that they want to keep or their territory. They rub their body around your feet as you walk? They don’t want to kill you (why should they kill their source of food and affection) but they are saying ’you are mine. Other cats should piss off because you are my human’

There are many more but it’s nearly 1 am and I have to get up early tomorrow but if someone wants to ask you can send an ask. Mind you I am not an expert and I am still learning and this is mainly to proof my obsession of Dazatsu.

So what if Dazai saw Atsushi and… he just mistakes things because he is so used in reading humans?

“Ah, Atsushi doesn’t make eye contact with me. Is he afraid? Or is he lying? But his words are genuine. So why won’t he look at me?”

“Atsushi’s smile is just so beautiful… but how could he smile while being all bloody and hurt after that fight? Do I need to call Yosano-sensei? Have his Ability healed him completely already?”

“Atsushi, why are you rubbing your heads on my chest? I mean it’s adorable and I love it but I’m supposed to be the shameless one with public display of affection…”

Also a bit of a…nsfw one:

“Dazai, why are you wincing so often today?”

“Last night Atsushi scratched at my back when we have sex and unfortunately I don’t heal as fast as him.”

Cue Kunikida sprayed his coffee everywhere. While Dazai just smiled this smug smile. And Atsushi’s face rivalling that of a boiled crab.

Dazai continued on wondering why Atsushi is an enigma to him until one day Haruno squealed while looking at her phone. Dazai saw the cat photo and Haruno immediately became this cat wikipedia who explained all of the cute cat behavior and everything. Just. Clicked. Together.

Then someday when Atsushi is cuddling with him at their home, Atsushi blinked at him slowly. Dazai used to think that it meant Atsushi was sleepy, but now he knew that for cats it was the symbol of trust. Trust that he won’t hurt Atsushi and Atsushi could keep his guard down whenever he is with him.

So Dazai blinked back, slowly. Atsushi, who was doing all of this cat behavior subsconsciously, doesn’t know why his heart feel so warm and he has this greatest impulse to kiss Dazai. Along with rubbing their face together.

It became a sort of secret language for both of them. Dazai will be the first one to notice whenever Atsushi is in pain. Since Dazai can’t actually mark Atsushi with scratches because Atsushi heals too fast, Dazai will lend his clothes to Atsushi whenever they have to be separated on a long mission. Whenever they are snuggling, Dazai will pet Atsushi’s head and let Atsushi peppers him with little kisses.

Too bad that tiger can’t actually purr because that would be perfect but tiger can chuff and it’s equally adorable. I have some more cute headcanons but I really have to sleep now *cries*

Do you think Atsushi has trouble eating peanut butter, you know like how a cat's tongue can't grip Peanut butter?

I SAY YES!!

I think Atsushi does a lot of tiger/cat things!

Actually my most favorite headcanon for him, was put forth by @awkward-atsushi who pointed out that tigers don’t meow, they chuff.

So now Atsushi chuffs like a tiger in my mind.

Cat!Atsushi spending the day with Akutagawa (hc)

This is based off my “Atsushi w/cat like urges” headcanons (will be linked below). Feel free to take this as platonic or romantic 😉

TW- mild swearing (nothing to bad, just a few mentioned here or there)

It originally started out as a way for the ADA to get at least one moment of peace to do their work without worrying about Atsushi accidentally swating something off the table or out of someone’s hands

It was one of Atsushi’s “bad days” where the cat urges he felt from the Tiger were more violent/prominent and between the broken mugs and near constant head scratches, everyone was starting to get frustrated

Atsushi included

He felt terrible for causing so many problems around the office and always got frustrated when he couldn’t control the urges the Tiger gave him

Of course no one blamed Atsushi, it wasn’t his fault his ability caused him to nap if he sat in the sun to long, or lead him to ignore people completely for no reason

But it was taking Kunikida all his will power to not yell at Atsushi when he swatted at his ponytail like it was a cat toy for the fourth time that morning

Of course Dazai, being the selfless mentor he was, offered an idea

“I have a job for you that should take up most of the day. I’ll even call Akutagawa to help out!”

It was clear as day that Dazai was scheming something, but everyone was to tired to argue.

And it would be good for the truce if the Agency and Mafia worked together more often

So thats what lead to Dazai and Atsushi walking across town to the Port Mafia HQ to steal Akutagawa on his day off

He refused to let Atsushi know where he lived, so they planned to meet at the Port Mafia instead

“Why do I have to be teamed up with him?” Atsushi had whined as they walked through Yokohama

“Because it’ll help the Agency and Mafia get along better!” Dazai had responded with a big smile as he wrapped an arm around Atsushi so he didn’t walk off

‘It’ll help You and Akutagawa get along better’ is what Dazai really meant

Luckily Atsushi’s discourage about having to spend the day with Akutagawa kept him from getting to distracted on the walk over (he only wondered off twice)

When they got there Akutagawa was patiently waiting outside the Port Mafia building, though he also looked less than pleased to be spending his day off with the weretiger

Dazai pretty much just dropped off Atsushi with a “Take care of him, and be careful around cups!” Before walking off

Atsushi and Akutagawa just glared at each other before Atsushi sighed and asked if Akutagawa was hungry

“We can go over the case while we eat, that’s all” Akutagawa didn’t argue, just huffed and started walking down the street

The first thing that Akutagawa learned about the Jinko was that if he didn’t keep a close eye on Atsushi, he would loose him in the heavy crowds of Yokohama

The first time Akutagawa lost Atsushi, the latter was helping a little girl who had gotten separated from her parents. Nothing new

The second time he lost Atsushi, he was found at one of the candy shops in town. “Ranpo-san’s birthday is coming up soon and this is his favourite shop” Atsushi had claimed

They spent much longer than Akutagawa would have liked in the candy store, but Atsushi refused to budge until he got all of Ranpo’s favourites

The third time they got separated, Akutagawa found that Atsushi had somehow been convinced to chase birds in the park with some of the little kids

Akutagawa had no idea how or when that had happened but he was already starting to loose his patience. This was the third time in the half hour since they left that Atsushi had wondered off

Akutagawa had to practically drag Atsushi by the collar to get him to leave, especially when Atsushi tried to get them to stay by giving him the big kitten eyes

It took all Akutagawa’s will power and “hatred” for Atsushi to not sigh and agree to five more minutes of running around

The second thing Akutagawa learned was that Atsushi ate...a lot...

“It’s the tiger” he had said sheepishly after scarfing down his 12th bowl of chazuke within the short time they had been at the restaurant.

Akutagawa just hummed and continued to eat his food. He wasn’t one to judge, Rashomon was the same way.

The third thing Akutagawa learned was to keep anything and everything glass or ceramic away from Atsushi

Atsushi had tried to explain that it was one of his “bad days” but Akutagawa didn’t catch on until half way through their lunch when Atsushi tried to swat the tower of empty bowls off the table

Luckily for them Aku was quick on his feet, using Rashomon to catch the bowls, and finding out it apparently wasn’t uncommon for things to get knocked off the tables according to their waitress

“The tables are pretty small, it happens all the time so don’t worry” she had said while Atsushi began to apologize profusely for the trouble

Needless to say, they took over the neighbouring table to keep their empty dishes on so they didn’t have another incident

The fourth, fifth, and sixth things Akutagawa learned was that Atsushi couldn’t sit in the sun for more then a few minutes without falling asleep, he was clingy, and he was addicted to head scratches

“Jinko, hand me that case file Dazai-san gave you.” Akutagawa had asked only to get no response from Atsushi.

“Jinko? Jinko are you listening to me?” He had asked, looking up to see Atsushi’s head resting in his arms and face towards the window. It was only when Akutagawa saw the sun illuminating his partners face did he realize Atsushi had fallen sleep.

“You have got to be kidding me...” it took Akutagawa two minutes longer than usual to wake Atsushi up. It wasn’t the first time Atsushi has fallen asleep during a mission. But it was usually during late night steak outs not in the middle of the afternoon at a restaurant. In the end Akutagawa had to blow in Atsushi’s face to get him to finally wake up.

“Huh...what’s wrong Akutagawa?” Atsushi had asked as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. Akutagawa did not find it cute when Atsushi’s nose scrunched up as he stretched out his arms. He most certainly did not!

“You fell asleep”

“O-oh my gosh! I-I’m so so sorry Akutagawa! The sun makes me really sleepy! I’m sorry!” Atsushi had stuttered out, face red with embarrassment. Akutagawa just shook his head and told Atsushi it was fine.

“But sit over hear so you don’t fall asleep again, idiot”

So there they sat, Atsushi sitting as close to Akutagawa as humanly possible. Like he was borderline sitting in Aku’s lap as they looked over the files

“Jinko must you be so close?”

“Yes, it’ll be easier for both of us to read the files like this”

So there they sat, Atsushi practically in Akutagawa’s lap, his head on the mafioso’s shoulder as they read through the files Dazai gave them.

It wasn’t long before Akutagawa could feel Atsushi staring a hole into his hands. Every time Akutagawa moved his hand to turn a page or cover a cough, Atsushi’s eyes would follow like a hawk

Rather than just ask Atsushi what was wrong, Akutagawa decided to do a little experiment. He had remembered seeing Dazai pat Atsushi’s head a few times in the past, and the weretiger seemed to like it

So without much thought Akutagawa raised his free hand and rested it on Atsushi’s head. Atsushi squeaked a little in surprised confusion before eventually melting into his partners touch

That’s when Akutagawa discovered his favourite thing about Atsushi; thing seven, the jinko purred when he was happy

Though it wasn’t long before Akutagawa learned his least favourite cat trait that Atsushi had

It was getting late and both boys were starting to think Dazai had sent them on a while goose chase (took them long enough)

“I’m starting to think Dazai-san has sent us on a wild goose chase.” Akutagawa huffed out, rubbing his temples with his free hand. The other one was holding three of Atsushi’s shopping bags, apparently they were all gifts for the Agency members.

After a few moments of silence, Akutagawa raised an eyebrow.

“Jinko?”

No response.

“Jinko! Jinko are you listening to me?”

Still no response. Now Akutagawa was starting to get annoyed.

“Jinko you best not have fallen asleep again because I will NOT be carrying you back-“ When Akutagawa finally turned around he was surprised to see Atsushi still following him, and not asleep on a park bench (it had happened earlier, Aku was not happy). Though rather then looking Akutagawa in the face like his partner usually would, Atsushi was staring at his phone.

Okay. Maybe Atsushi just didn’t hear him, the weretiger did have an annoying habit of zoning out during missions when nothing was happening. So Akutagawa stopped and tried again.

“Jinko snap out of whatever trance you’re in. We’re still working remember?”

But rather than Atsushi snapping out of it, stopping in his tracks and apologizing like usual, he just continued walking down the street. It was almost as if he was ignoring Akutagawa.

“Jinko are you ignoring me!? Where are you going!?”

Still no response. Now Akutagawa was getting pissed. No way in hell was he just going to stand by and allow his cat like partner to just ignore him after all the babysitting he had to do! Atsushi had walked off three more times after lunch and Akutagawa did not want to be dragged around another department store.

So Akutagawa stormed over to Atsushi, grabbed his shoulder, spun the weretiger around, and snatched his phone.

“Atsushi look at me damn it!”

That seemed to pull Atsushi out of his daze. ‘Finally!’ Akutagawa thought as Atsushi looked up at him, purple and gold eyes blinking a few times before registering what was happening.

Suddenly Atsushi’s face turned a deep red and his face dropped in horror; Akutagawa had him by the shoulder, Atsushi’s phone in hand, and had actually used his name for once. He messed up and he messed up big.

“A-Akutagawa...I-I-I’m so so so so so s-sorry! Oh, it happened again, and in public this time! I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to, I just kind of zone out and oh my god your probably angry with me now!” Atsushi scrambled out in a mix of embarrassment, guilt, and fear. It was one thing when he accidentally ignored the ADA members...it was another thing to ignore Akutagawa.

Noticing Atsushi’s nervousness, Akutagawa let out a long, drawn out sigh and let go of Atsushi to run his hands over his face. While Akutagawa didn’t appreciate being completely ignored like that, he could tell Atsushi wasn’t doing it on purpose. Honestly, he was starting to think that none of the weird things Atsushi had done today was on purpose.

“It-its fine, just don’t let it happen again”

“Yeah, okay, I’ll try!”

It wasn’t long after that till they realised they had, in fact, been sent on a wild goose chase and neither one was happy about it

“Dazai-san! I can’t believe you would send us out on a fake mission like this! Well, actually I can believe it, but still!” Atsushi had said the moment they entered the ADA office

Dazai, of course, was laying on the couch with a smile on his face that clearly screamed, ‘But you both had a good time didn’t you?’

Despite a few hiccups here and there, Akutagawa and Atsushi had to admit that the day wasn’t all that bad.

They still kicked Dazai off the couch though. They were tired and needed a minute to sit.

It wasn’t long before Atsushi had passed out again, his head laying in Akutagawa’s lap this time.

“Do you want me to move him Akutagawa? It’s getting pretty late?” Dazai had asked when he noticed the silver haired boy had gone quite.

Akutagawa glanced down at his partner; he had covered Atsushi with his jacket so only his face was visible, but even so his face looked the most relaxed it had been all day and he could hear Atsushi’s purring as he combed through his hair. A ghost of a smile tugged at Akutagawa’s lips as he shook his head.

“No, it’s alright. It seems he’s claimed my lap for the time being”

Wow okay, this is my first time doing a set up like this! I hope it turned out good 😅. Like I mentioned earlier this is based off of a mini series on my tiktok (@bigglitchcos) about Atsushi if he had cat urges. Someone had mentioned doing a skit where Shin Soukoku spend the day together, so here’s my take!

Cat!Atsushi hc pt 1 | Cat!Atsushi hc pt 2

im just imagining atsushi sneezing and then his tiger features come out

also more tiger behaviour atsushi bc its so fluffy

A (kinda sad) idea: Atsushi makes a tiger kitty noise in front of someone and loses it panicking because he’d get punished for making those noises at the orphanage.

I WOULD SNUGGLE HIM SO HARD

dazai voice: pspspspsps

ada going to zoo but oop they have to put atsushi on a child leash so his predator instincts dont take over
