Hc that atsushi's pupils dilate like a cats when he's happy or excited
Or when he's fighting his eyes narrow into little slits and he hisses
And when he's eating or looking at akutagawa his eyes get really big
HC that even under Fukuzawa's ability Atsushi gets moody as it gets closer to the full moon. He gets more easily irritated and tiger features like his fangs and ears pop out more often than usual. Even though the president can suppress the full transformation Byakko WILL want to do kitty things on the full moon and make it everyone else's problem that she can't
Headcanon: Atsushi can only fall asleep when he’s either completely exhausted or when he knows he’s safe.
He rarely got a good nights sleep growing up. Something that carried over when he was abandoned to the streets. He’d walk for hours despite having no energy hoping it would tire him out enough.
The first true good night sleep Atsushi had was during a game night with the Agency. Dazai was in the middle of antagonising Kunikida when Atsushi slump forward.
Luckily he only lightly head butted Dazai’s shoulder.
But he didn’t move.
Dazai was going to ask what was up and then noticed Atsushi was knocked out. He got everyone’s attention and Ranpo deduced it was because Atsushi was exhausted.
Kunikida made a note to make sure Atsushi wasn’t overworking himself (hypocrite.) While Dazai attempted to gently pry Atsushi off him. He froze when Atsushi cried out and clung to Dazai’s arm. His whole body shaking with fear.
Ranpo’s grin left his face, he took off his glasses and simply gestured for Dazai to stay.
Dazai frowned but did so. Running a hand through Atsushi’s hair and reassuring him he was here. It was a relief to them all when Atsushi calmed down. Make an adorable chuffing sound as he did so.
Kunikida questioned what was happening and Kenji said he seen animals on the farm act like this. Ones that were injured or had been mistreated by others would act on edge.
But when they found others that made them feel better they’d act more like themselves.
And stick to the others like glue.
And the Agencies were Atsushi’s glue, his safety.
A blanket was wrapped around Atsushi and in the end they all had a sleepover in the living room of the dorm building.
Because after that none of them could bare to leave Atsushi alone right now. And Atsushi had the best sleep he’d had in years.
Atsushi giving nonperishable foods to those they cares about.
He learned how to make various kinds of jerky because the tiger kept hunting and just leaving carcasses in people's homes. So, Atsushi's loved ones often wake up and just see a fuck ton of jerky in their houses, or mass amounts of cans and other various non-perishables on their chairs
akutagawa: i do not know jinko. i know nothing about him. I do not even know how when he laughs too much he has to lean against something. or that his eyes have a little bit of orange, where the yellow and purple meet. I do not know about his mole on the bottom of his neck. nor do i know that he drinks his coffee really sweet. i do not know that he clips his nails short to not scratch anyone but really likes the illusion guy's sister's longer nails and wishes he could grow his own out a little. i do not know that he likes being outside in various weathers to get to experience them. i do not know ANYTHING about that damned jinko and if you DARE imply that i do again i WILL slit your throat
me looking at my cat do something funny or cute: i can make an atsushi post out of this
naomi: hey atsushi do you have an extra-
atsushi, not even looking up from his work, just reaching into his desk and pulling out a hamster:
naomi:
naomi: thanks but i was gonna ask for a pencil
atsushi, taking back the hamster and putting it back inside his desk and giving her a pencil:
naomi: thanks
I think we don't lean into atsushi being a big cat enough.
By which I mean that he should leave dead mice by the beds of the Ada members. (and akutagawa's)
finally got my act together and contributed to the atsushi big cat instincts agenda. more to come after finals!!!
Does Acchan know of the cookie monster? I feel like he would enjoy the cookie monster or see him as a rival
Baby Acchan LOVES the muppets. They're bright and colorful and soft and fun!
He also immediately goes into stalking behavior anytime Big Bird is on the screen, and Atsushi's had to replace the television twice.
Ya know, Atsushi probably really struggles with physical affection. There’s probably a very few number of people who can touch him, and even then he needs to see it coming. I find it hard to believe that, as compassionate and caring as my little baby is, he is just over all of the physical and mental abuse he suffered. And while he makes connections quickly, it probably takes the members of the ADA months to get to a place where they can touch him without him panicking and flinching.
