Atsushi Doesnt Like Storms Becuz All Alone In The Cage The Loud Noises Scared Him But Its Okay Now Becuz

Nyatsushi Anon! Hello!!! First of all, I'm flattered you like my asks so much!!! And I've talk about Atsushi Cat Concepts, but I just realized- I haven't! Talked! About Tiger Concepts!!! Because baby boy is a TIGER!!! Like, him purring is cute and all but,, Imagine him making tiger noises? Growls? Big old roars??? CHUFFING??? I'm so here for it all ahaha,,, And imagine! Him marking the ADA and his apartment as his spaces with like, scratch marks!!! I'm sorry I'm just Very Enthusiastic aaahhh,,,

DONT SAY SORRY I LOVE THIS SO MUCH BUT Y E S SS BABY BOY IS A TIGER!!! I LOVE EVERY CONCEPT!!!! Y E A A S S S SS

he would definitely do that uwuwu i mean have you heard him yell “AKUTAGAWAAAA” that definitely do be the tiger inside of him yellin 

Concept: Orange cat Atsushi

Aka Atsushi’s a regular tiger not a white one and that means he’s got orange cat behaviours.

Tigers don’t purr instead they chuff and as long as he’s not being actively traumatised Atsushi’s always chuffing.

Because he’s happy, happy to be with the Agency.

They find it quite soothing to hear and so whenever someone’s injured or afraid Atsushi will just curl up beside them and chuff.

Touch starved orphan that hates being left alone = clingiest little guy.

It’s something the Agency all has to get used too because they’re not really that affectionate touch wise.

Most of the time Dazai is the target because he will happily indulge him (probably because he’s also clingy as hell.)

If one tries to get away from Atsushi when he’s attached to them he will shriek until they come back.

Kunikida: Atsushi! That’s enough I have a very important meeting to get too.

Atsushi looks up at him all teary eyed.

And then Kunikida leaves carrying a very happy Atsushi with him and glares at anyone to comment.

Atsushi just likes being carried but he’ll always end up upside down and if you try and carry him properly he will jump off you.

Kenji has terrified many a person by happily walking through the streets carrying a giant happy tiger (tiger Atsushi doesn’t realise he’s a giant tiger and still demands to be carried.)

The Agency had rats once and everyone thought Atsushi might do something. No he was just on the sofa, rolled on his back and baking biscuits in the air without a care in the world.

Atsushi is easily started he will jump a foot in the air in fright if the wind blows too hard against the window. He will spend the rest of the day (or rather until he forgets what he was scared off) up on the bookshelves.

He can be bribed down with food though.

Atsushi is rarely ever still, even when he’s asleep or being carried he has to move. Ranpo gave him a fidget toy once and he played with it for 3 hours straight.

The first time Atsushi saw Chuuya floating around he tackled him midair. He then immediately lost interest when Chuuya was on the ground and thus not floating anymore.

Dazai laughed his arse off and filmed the whole thing. And then Chuuya used his ability to get Atsushi off him and then you had Atsushi spinning about like the happiest little guy.

Chuuya: There’s something wrong with this kid.

Dazai: How dare you, Atsushi is a wonderful and amaz- oh shit he’s going blue. Atsushi! Remember to breathe!

Chuuya: How the fuck do you forget how to breathe?!

Dazai: He has a lot going on okay.

i want atsushi to have more cat like features. him getting twitchy when he sees birds or squirrels, growling when frustrated and purring softly when content, being very territorial, having a scratchy tongue……… i want him to be more big cat coded

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BOYS EVER 💕

Did some whiteboard doodles wIth the gang

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

i like to think atsushi definitely still has cat-like behaviour when he’s in human form.

like someone’s being nice to him and he has the strong urge to rub his head against them lovingly. new people are like wtf atsushi but the rest of the agency is just like yeah he does that sometimes.

Rewatching Bungo Stray Dogs (can’t remember where I got to in the anime, but I stopped reading during blimp arc) and. Yeah. Two episodes in and I’m just like, ‘Does Atsushi scent mark people or the office. Does Dazai slow blink at him, making Atsushi both confused but also calms him down? Atsushi struggling with if he doesn’t remember last night because he transformed, or because he drank. Or possibly being affected more by alcohol. Can Atsushi even HAVE a lot of alcohol or does that affect him more? (But if cats can’t eat onions or garlic, he would have probably noticed by now, unless he just figures he’s got a sensitive stomach and/or he’s just not used to non-orphanage food).’

Yeah. It’s very clear there’s a certain character trope that just activates my brain, pffft.

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.

okay since obviously ive gotten to into catifying atsushi i forgot he was a tiger - as u guys pointed out

this is how a beach episode would ACTUALLY play out in my head - kunikida, dazai, and atsushi focus

kunikida: are you not gonna go swimming dazai?

dazai: nope! i think today im just going to relax in the sand! maybe i'll try and drown myself later tho... what about you?

kunikida: im not swimming either

dazai: awww why not

kunikida: for some reason i dont feel safe getting in the ocean w/ u here

dazai, snickering: aww~ how could you say that~ im so hurt

atsushi, in the background, trying to secretly run away:

dazai: aww atsushi-kun why are you sneaking away

atsushi, startled: me? running away? haha... no i wouldn't

kunikida: atsushi, is everything all right? don't tell me you've decided to not participate in a company wide vacation?

atsushi: no! it's not that

dazai: you cant swim? but you fish me out all the time

atsushi: i know how to swim! i just... i don't really like water

dazai: is it becuz you're a cat?

kunikida and atsushi: he's/im a tiger

kunikida: atsushi don't tigers usually like water

atsushi: well... im not really a tiger... it's just my ability

kunikida: is it becuz dazai's here?he is a rather unsafe person to be near when you're also near wtaer

dazai: how cruel~ atsushi-kun i pinky promise i wont drown you~

atsushi:

atsushi, shyly: you really promise?

dazai, who was just joking: ?????????

kunikida, also flabbergasted: ?????????? did you think one of us would-

atsushi: no! i mean obviously not haha... but you promise...?

dazai:

kunikida:

dazai: of course! we promise not to drown you

kunikida: and to get you out of the water if you're in trouble

atsushi: oh... but didn't you not want to swim

kunikida dazai, professional dgaslighters: that never happened

atsushi: ...oh okay... then i think i'll try to swim... you'll be there?

dazai and kunikida: of course

*later*

dazai: atsushi-kun you really...

kunikida: atsushi, please, it's been 7 hours come back out

atsushi, having the time of his life, eyes sparkling, tail wagging: five more minutes!!

kunikida: you said that last time too...

dazai: atsushi-kun sure likes water

kunikida, fixing his glasses: we have to just grab him and run off quickly

dazai: ooh~ kunikida wants to kidnap someone~? how despciable

kunikida: its not kidnapping its for his own good

dazai: if that helps you sleep at night :3
