Vivid Image Of My Head Of Akutagawa Grabbing Atsushi's Tiger Tail And Yanking Him Back When He's About

Little tiger 😢😢 eu.. Euuu.. 😭😭😢😢😢 m my baby tiger that I hate

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

sskk living together but aku has a cat so whenever he goes "pspsps" to the cat while hes laying on the couch he just hears thudding and has five seconds to move before atsushi jumps onto him Cat: Akutagawa: Akutagawa: Pspsps- ah shit. *insert atsushi, going 40 mph, before tackling akutagawa*

tigers like to sleep in cool areas but i feel like atsushi wouldn't becuz he'd associate it with the cage (at least at first) vs warm and under the sunlight is more catlike but also distinctively different from the cage

i mean gradually he overcomes it but for now

ik this isn't canon at all but I do think it would be a beautiful thing if Byakko turned out to be a weretiger cub. What if Byakko is just the child inside Atsushi. The child who is used to pain and violence and lashes out. The child who wants to protect Atsushi by healing him, killing chickens so he doesn't starve, hurting people who hurt him. What if Atsushi's reconciliation with Byakko is him accepting the childhood he had and the child that is still inside him and screaming to be loved. What if we get to watch Byakko become less violent, and turn into what a real child or cub should be like- wanting to play, wanting affection. What if through Byakko, we get to see Atsushi's inner child healing a little.

atsushi when the dead things he leaves in front of ppl's doors cause them to complain about there being dead things in front of their doors and not compliment him on his gifts

HES SO CUTE AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I love any Atsushi hc where he has cat-like behavior. It's so adorable to see fanart of him doing the cat rub thing/head butt against other characters, but i would also like to see more tiger specific traits. Like they have "flexible spines" which gives them a wide range of movement compared to other big cats, their salive has antiseptic properties, they love water, and their canines have pressure-sensitive nerves to know where to bite their prey. All of which would be interesting in a fic, i think.
