anytime atsushi gets excited his tail pops out and wags but no one tells him becuz they think its funny to see atsushi try and pretend he's not excited and act nonchalant
atsushi is genuinely surprised and confused how everyone always knows what he wants or wants to do
dazai, kunikida, and atsushi coming back from a mission
kunikida, noticing atsushi looking at an ice cream stall: atsushi do u want ice cream
atsushi: oh i dont care either way! if u and dazai san want to then...
dazai: i dont re-
kunikida and dazai staring at atsushi's wagging tail:
dazai: ooh~ kunikida-kun~ how kind~ to offer us ice cream~
kunikida: as if bastard! i'll buy it for atsushi but ur a grown ass man
dazai: if only i had a tail :(
atsushi: what
dazai: what
atsushi:
//
like that
yosano: how did u choose a gift for atsushi? theres so many things i could get... since he's not used to owning much
ranpo: my genius deductive skills obviously
yosano:
ranpo: okay fine i chose like 10 and mentioned them to him subtly and bought the one he wagged his tail for the most
yosano:
yosano: oh shit u are a genius
ranpo: why r u acting surprised
//
atsushi: cant believe i have to work with you again,,, why do we always have to see each other ugh
akutagawa, staring (like wan staring) at atsushi's wagging tail:
//
bet atsushi never takes time off becuz idk he doesn't think he can - like he knows he can but he also doesn't think he can
that doesn't make sense but i hope u get it
anyway he never requests time off - he's only not there if he's sick (and was bullied into resting) or something like he personally never puts in the request
if there's some festival or event or anything that anyone thinks atsushi would want to go and would go if not for work they let the boss man know
fukuzawa: atsushi, you haven't taken much time off, but it's good to take a break now and then. if you want, you can have monday and tuesday off. (which weirdly is the exact time that that one event u wanted to go to is on but obviously thats just a coincidence)
atsushi, tail wagging: oh that's alright
fukuzawa: i insist.
//
what else hmmmmmmmm
kyouka: atsushi, do you want me to make that dish again? you liked it right?
atsushi: oh i did! but you dont have to if you dont want to! i mean if you do you totally can
kyouka, staring at his tail: i'll make it

junichiro, after coming back from a longer mission:
atsushi: heyyy we didn't see each other all day!
junichiro, trying not to show how touched he is becuz atsushi's tail is wagging, showing how happy he is:
and so on
Ely Ely Ely for the requests maybe Beast! Atsushi in a cat café? I feel like he would like those
He loves them :3 (everyday I wake up and thank god for the stroke of wisdom that hit you when you suggested raccoon stripes beast sushi)
I’m not the most hardcore fan, but I still really need to see domestic cat atsushi. Atsushi with ball of yarn, catnip, scratching furniture, all that stuff.
i love them sm u dont get it 😭😭😭
*combined ver on profile
when people draw atsushi with a phone they always give him an iphone or just a phone with a touchscreen and it hurts my heart so much. we have to stop ignoring his little flip phone. he doesn't need social media either we have to keep him as chronically offline as possible. atsushi doesn't know what discourse is. if you showed him a meme he'd stare at it for a bit and go "i don't get it" while handing the phone back to you. when he sat in front of an agency laptop for the first time he holds his head in his hands because he doesn't know what the hell to do
dazai and atsushi eating a snack together, sitting side by side and atsushi's tail happily wagging (in that slow cat way) and accidentally hitting dazai and thus disappearing and then appearing and wagging again but accidentally hitting dazai and disappearing and then appearing and wagging again but accidentally hitting dazai and then appearing and wagging again but accidentally-
Atushi please answer me if you had catnip would you get high I need to know this is very important information
First off, I'm a tiger, not a housecat, and I'm not sure if catnip works on tigers.
Second of, I have no idea because I've never eaten catnip or any sort of drugs, although one time dazai gave me a coffee so good that I'm pretty sure that's what drugs feel like, haha.
I remember i was asking kunikida why he liked coffee so much because honestly it's so bitter and dazai said he had some really good coffee that could definitely change my mind.
The next day he brought me some homemade coffee at work and it was really minty and i did NOT know coffee could be that good. i felt really hyper and i did even more work than kunikida that afternoon! He acted kinda weird about it though. He's not the competitive type at all so usually he's happy when i do a good job at work. Instead he was too busy because he took dazai to another room and kept shouting at him i couldn't tell you what it was about because at that point i was feeling kinda dizzy. Kunikida came back dragging dazai by the collar a little while later and I think i also saw yosano give dazai some cash when kunikida had let go of him. She looked pissed about it. Kunikida let me go home early when i told him i felt dizzy.
Even if though i did feel pretty light headed after, I still really wanna try that type of coffee again. but dazai said it was made from some super expensive foreign ingredient, at first i didn't really believe him and tried to search online for it, but i couldn't find anything about it and something that tastes that good and gives you that much energy must be hard to find so he's probably telling the truth!
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)
atsushi with more cat/tiger behaviors but some lesser discussed ones:
he scratches all the doorways of the agency building and his dorm. kunikida scolds him for damaging property for over an hour but while he apologizes he’s strangely uncontrite (at least for atsushi who tends to overapologize) about it
/
a mostly nocturnal sleep schedule feels the most natural to him but since his orphanage’s schedule was (quite literally) beaten into him, he regularly wakes up early, though after a long mission or multiple in a row, he tends to sleep through the day instead.
/
when really frustrated (usually during an argument with akutagawa) he has a tendency to stomp his feet. it tends to break the tension, and atsushi finds its super embarrassing. akutagawa finds it cute
/
he’s constantly fighting the urge to sit on his coworkers desks while they’re working and distract them. same with knocking things off their desks.
/
head bunting!!!! he first starts doing it to kyouka after the end of the guild plot. just does it to her one morning while they’re cooking breakfast without realizing. he’s mortified for a moment until kyouka does it back, equally shy yet earnest about it. slowly he catches himself doing it to the rest of the agency: when kenji gives him a hug after a mission, when yosano buys him something he was looking at during a shopping trip, while sharing lunch with the tanizakis, to ranpo after atsushi solves his first mystery on own, to kunikida and dazai after a dangerous mission. he hasn’t worked himself up to doing it to the president yet (and fukuzawas kind of sad about it). dazai and kunikida are the most flustered by it, kenji and kyouka do it back to him the most.
/
as much as he hates being locked up or confined against his will (and he really hates it), he genuinely loves being in small spaces. he sleeps in the closest for kyoukas privacy but he does geniunely feel comfortable there. sometimes he eats lunch under his desk or in the supply room if he’s feeling stressed. dazai did give him a giant box once to see if he’d sit in it and he totally did.
/
he tends to suck on the corners of blankets and things like his shirts or sweaters when he’s asleep or distracted. dazai used to tease him for it until he read that it was often found cats taken to soon from their mothers. he didn’t really find it funny after that
/
he will just Stare at people. agency members look up from their work and will see him looking directly at them. he usually snaps out of it right after and apologizes but just like slow blinks and winks and closing his eyes, he starts doing it more and more as he gets in tune with his ability.
