Headcanon That Atsushi Constantly Has To Try And Ignore His Cat Instincts And Constantly Fails

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

i love your blog can you write about atsushi being feverish sick or hc about it? sorry if i have poor English.

thank you so much!! and no worries your english is great!! I'm writing a fevered atsushi sickfic for Sicktember under the "Persistent Fever" prompt that I'm very much enjoying writing so far hehe...

- atsushi definitely has a lot of problems speaking up when he doesn't feel well or just recognizing that he need to slow down because of how he grew up. he has some pretty serious anxiety so when he doesn't feel good he either gets all in his head about or he doesn't realize it

- he gets low grade fevers often when he gets overly stressed out/exhausted/overworking

- kyoka and lucy have learned to keep an eye on him while he's working because he tends not to realize when he has a fever until it gets really bad

- kyoka is very sweet about making sure he looks after himself and lucy scolds the ever loving shit out of him

- sometimes they don't notice in time and he passes out :( they have to take him to the infirmary and keep a good eye on him to make sure he rests

- he's very prone to hallucinations and nightmares when he has high fevers 🥺 he'll turn over in his sleep, shake and breathe heavy and whimper, sweat through the sheets, and wake up sobbing and desperate for comfort

- atsushi is terrified of needles so they have to be sneaky when yosano needs to give him injections. dazai is a pro at distracting him but sometimes atsushi is just so out of it that he doesn't notice. sometimes his fever is so high that he's completely delusional and becomes terrified of yosano💔 he's accidentally hurt her in the past with his ability and they've learned to keep dazai handy to prevent that

- kyoka has to take him home when he's really not doing well because he's sensitive to the antiseptic smell in the infirmary and it makes him very nauseous, and he's very emetophobic so they try to avoid that as much as possible

- everyone in the ADA looks after him very well and sometimes he cries and wonders what he did to deserve their love and care 😭

Rewrite x3 adventures: oh god why did I start this I am Not Capable

Also rewrite adventures: this paragraph could probably be cut but!! If you weren’t a coward he would’ve licked the injury

Atsushi’s tongue feels too large in his mouth. The tiger in him urges him to dip his head and groom Akutagawa awake, to clean the wound with firm swipes, to press close and share warmth with a too-cold body. Atsushi droops, only to jerk back the second he catches himself, swallowing hard. He is not a tiger, he repeats silently as he carefully straightens Akutagawa’s supine form. Licking would be gross and not helpful and Akutagawa would be mad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BOYS EVER 💕

Did some whiteboard doodles wIth the gang

i love them sm u dont get it 😭😭😭

*combined ver on profile

i think atsushi getting absolutely gone on catnip would be really funny

No thoughts, just Atsushi having tiger instincts. Atsushi having a special pillow he hides in his futon just for kneading. He hides the pillow because he was shamed for his tiger instincts at the orphanage, but as he opens up to the ADA more, different members get to see his more suppressed instincts (they think its the cutest thing ever). Dazai is the first to discover the pillow and Atsushi gets super scared before Dazai reassures him that its okay and that he thinks its adorable. This is the first time Atsushi has ever been allowed to express his tiger instincts, and in happiness, he rubs his cheek against Dazai. Dazai is shocked and Atsushi is too after disengaging with the cheek rub but Dazai quickly regains his composure and hugs Atsushi back, while rubbing his cheek. Atsushi is incredibly overjoyed about Dazai (his family...!!) scenting him and expressing his love for Atsushi that he starts chuffing too. Dazai screams

Atsushi with tiger instincts is just so adorable I can't handle it lmao. He's just a cat!!

Anyone who allies with the agency has to go through the Atsushi test.

....

Ango: I know you have your worries and concerns on whether you can trust me or not. But I can assure that I-

Atsushi: walks up to him, lightly headbutts his shoulder.

Ango: realises he's being accepted, emotional... Thank you.

....

Fitzgerald: How did you know you could trust me?

Dazai: looks at Atsushi

Atsushi: curled up on the same sofa as Fitzgerald, taking a nap

Dazai: Oh just a hunch.

.....

Atsushi: slowly blinking at Sigma

Sigma: concerned Is he okay?

Kyouka: gets the signal, puts her weapon down It means your family now.

Sigma: emotional thank you tries doing it back to Atsushi.

Atsushi: tears up.

...

Ranpo realising he fucked up going to that meeting with Fukuchi without glasses and alone.

Because the moment Atsushi sees Fukuchi, he's infront of Ranpo hissing with his claws out.

....

Poe: Are you sure it's alright for me to be here?

Ranpo: already knows but looks at Atsushi.

Atsushi: smiles and waves at Poe from his desk.

Ranpo: Yup.

....

Tachihara realising that Atsushi was never hostile to him. And realising yup yeah I'm on the agencies side.

....

If Atsushi doesn't trust you than you are bad news.

me looking at my cat do something funny or cute: i can make an atsushi post out of this
