Me Looking At My Cat Do Something Funny Or Cute: I Can Make An Atsushi Post Out Of This

[Lovechild AU]

Finally complete

Little vampire Fausto is sometimes reprimanded by college students when he goes out at night in his black vampire cape… and here’s why!

so much atsushi slander. how do i put into words that his character is so refreshing. that his reactions aren't weak for the situations he was put into and what prep he was given, but endearing to me because he's always trying his best. not in a 'he just messed up and is trying his best sort of way' but in a 'he's experienced so much cruelty that still affects him to this day, but he's still trying his best.' that he hates himself sometimes and can't brute force a solution to the problems he faces. he's just. so realistic.

vivid image of my head of akutagawa grabbing atsushi's tiger tail and yanking him back when he's about to wander off

Shenanigans and tomfoolery

fic where dazai (and ranpo but he's ranpo) notices that anytime someone says words like "beast" "monster" "demon" etc atsushi almost always stiffens - not like he's scared but as if he's physically fighting back the urge to respond as he'd been called

featuring atsushi trying to force himself to stop associating himself with the words the people in the orphanage called him

akutagawa should be there to be atsushi's hot emotional support but thats just my opinion btw

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)

What do you think would happen if Atsushi tried catnip

Not a question I was expecting to get, but sure! Let's brainstorm.

It would definitely start with confusion—him being cautious when he gets a whiff of something interesting. He smells it before he sees it. But when he finally finds it, he takes it into his hand and sniffs it. Atsushi has no idea what it is, but it smells... interesting.

Then, of course, in a moment, it finally kicks in. He starts to feel relaxed, maybe even a little bit loopy. Meanwhile, Dazai, being who he is, takes full advantage of Atsushi’s state, messing with the younger. Kunikida is a bit concerned but doesn’t insert himself into whatever the heck is happening.

Soon after, the playful side kicks in. He could even start rolling around on the floor, acting more cat-like—on zoomies. He might try to steal Ranpo’s snacks. He better not run into Akutagawa, or he’ll get stabbed. He would definitely knock stuff over, and his ability might go a bit out of control—transforming parts of himself before it fades again. Naomi probably recorded all of this.

After that? Sleepy time. He might curl up somewhere in a sunspot, completely blissed out. Once he snaps out of it, he’s straight-up horrified. He’ll be begging for the videos to be deleted. He won’t be able to handle it.
