Do you think Atsushi has trouble eating peanut butter, you know like how a cat's tongue can't grip Peanut butter?
I SAY YES!!
I think Atsushi does a lot of tiger/cat things!
Actually my most favorite headcanon for him, was put forth by @awkward-atsushi who pointed out that tigers don’t meow, they chuff.
So now Atsushi chuffs like a tiger in my mind.
-MI
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
byakko has licked all her favorite humans but she cannot lick dazai becuz of his ability which upsets her so its not uncommon for atsushi to be relaxing and a part of his brain try to convince him to fix dazai's hair via tongue like a giant cat
he tries not to think about it
and ignore ranpo laughing at him
Fun fact: A tigers mating ritual last about six days, this consists of them walking around each other vocalizing softly Atsushi just walking around Akutagawa, humming softly: Akutagawa: What are you doing? Atsushi, still walking and humming: Nothing, nothing at all
dazai voice: pspspspsps
It is saying something about my obsession with my tiger cinnamon roll that I imagined him when I was studying about cat body language.
About my headcanon. Well, it’s not even a secret that Dazai is this master at reading people. He is just so expert at stripping someone naked with his eyes that no one is safe. Everyone held onto their pants (or skirts) whenever they encounter him, to no avail because that person is just so sinfully beautiful and dangerous.
Ehem.
But what if because of his ability, Atsushi showed a completely different body language than normal people? I am not an expert at tiger’s body language so I will just use cat’s. Trivia for you guys who are interested:
Cats don’t like to stare directly into someone’s eyes because to them it means ‘fight me’.
Cats are vocal with their happiness (the beauty of purring that makes human fell head over heels over this furballs), but they are master at poker face whenever they hide their pain. Let me tell you, you will be lucky if they even vomit or loss weight whenever they are in tremendous pain. They are just that good.
They mark things to show possessions over things that they want to keep or their territory. They rub their body around your feet as you walk? They don’t want to kill you (why should they kill their source of food and affection) but they are saying ’you are mine. Other cats should piss off because you are my human’
There are many more but it’s nearly 1 am and I have to get up early tomorrow but if someone wants to ask you can send an ask. Mind you I am not an expert and I am still learning and this is mainly to proof my obsession of Dazatsu.
So what if Dazai saw Atsushi and… he just mistakes things because he is so used in reading humans?
“Ah, Atsushi doesn’t make eye contact with me. Is he afraid? Or is he lying? But his words are genuine. So why won’t he look at me?”
“Atsushi’s smile is just so beautiful… but how could he smile while being all bloody and hurt after that fight? Do I need to call Yosano-sensei? Have his Ability healed him completely already?”
“Atsushi, why are you rubbing your heads on my chest? I mean it’s adorable and I love it but I’m supposed to be the shameless one with public display of affection…”
Also a bit of a…nsfw one:
“Dazai, why are you wincing so often today?”
“Last night Atsushi scratched at my back when we have sex and unfortunately I don’t heal as fast as him.”
Cue Kunikida sprayed his coffee everywhere. While Dazai just smiled this smug smile. And Atsushi’s face rivalling that of a boiled crab.
Dazai continued on wondering why Atsushi is an enigma to him until one day Haruno squealed while looking at her phone. Dazai saw the cat photo and Haruno immediately became this cat wikipedia who explained all of the cute cat behavior and everything. Just. Clicked. Together.
Then someday when Atsushi is cuddling with him at their home, Atsushi blinked at him slowly. Dazai used to think that it meant Atsushi was sleepy, but now he knew that for cats it was the symbol of trust. Trust that he won’t hurt Atsushi and Atsushi could keep his guard down whenever he is with him.
So Dazai blinked back, slowly. Atsushi, who was doing all of this cat behavior subsconsciously, doesn’t know why his heart feel so warm and he has this greatest impulse to kiss Dazai. Along with rubbing their face together.
It became a sort of secret language for both of them. Dazai will be the first one to notice whenever Atsushi is in pain. Since Dazai can’t actually mark Atsushi with scratches because Atsushi heals too fast, Dazai will lend his clothes to Atsushi whenever they have to be separated on a long mission. Whenever they are snuggling, Dazai will pet Atsushi’s head and let Atsushi peppers him with little kisses.
Too bad that tiger can’t actually purr because that would be perfect but tiger can chuff and it’s equally adorable. I have some more cute headcanons but I really have to sleep now *cries*
I am BEGGING the bsd fandom/fanfic writers to PLEASE know basic feline anatomy and that TIGERS CAN’T PURR! I know it’s cute to have Atsushi purring, BUT HE CAN’T! I’m sorry, but it’s not possible… but write him chuffing! Chuffing is cute too!
That is all
headcanons? about bsd? if so i have a headcanon that atsushi tends to do things that he was forced to do at the orphanage subconsciously like maybe if he drops something he would immediately look around and cover himself from getting hit etc etc
Yes, that’s it. You can send me ideas about BSD and I’ll write ideas about it. I’ve wanted to do it since a long time but I was too anxious to ask. I hope you find it interesting. (I apologize in advance if there are mistakes)
Kyouka :
The first time she stayed at Atsushi’s appartment, it can be seen she was the one to make breakfast. However, Atsushi has been raised thinking he had to be the one to take do the chores. From here, a very ridiculous competition started. Atsushi would do his best to wake up as soon as possible to prepare breakfast only for Kyouka to wake even earlier the next day. Kunikida was the one to stop them after one week when he saw how tired the both of them were. He created a whole planning about who had to do what and when they had to do it.
Also, since tofu is quite cheap, it was one of the main meal at the orphanage (when they were fed) so Atsushi knows exactly how to cook it. Kyouka didn’t stop pouting for days when she noticed Atsushi was better at preparing it than her. However, she stopped quickly and instead ordered him to cook it for her. This is how Atsushi stopped seeing cooking as a bad part of his past and started seeing as a way to please his little sister friend.
Junichirou and Naomi :
They both are very tactile people. Naomi likes hugging every members of the agency and Junichirou - even if he’s not at the same level as his sister - likes physical contact to congratulate his friends or to greet them.
The first time the young woman tries to hug Atsushi, the young man jumps meters away from her. Just like the feline which represents him.
When Junichirou tries to high five, he looks at him as if Tanizaki is going to slap him. His whole body tenses, waiting for a punch.
After this, they both are careful with how they interact with him. They invite him to initiate contacts without downright forcing him. They watch carefully and wait for him to be relaxed to try anything.
Only when the siblings escape a life-or-death situation does Atsushi answer to their offers. It’s nothing big or amazing, he just catches sweater and refuses to let it go.
It’s a start.
Kunikida :
Everyone in the agency knows Kunikida is an early riser. He’s always the first one to arrive at the agency. The first one to prepare for work. The first one to finish his job.
One day, he and Atsushi have to leave Yokohama to work on a case for the military and end up sharing a room.
That’s when the man discovers how Atsushi doesn’t really sleep. It’s more like cat-napping. He dozes off for a few minutes and startles seconds after.
The morning after, Atsushi is already ready for their investigation, totally dressed. It’s especially concerning since Kunikida didn’t even hear him do it.
It becomes obvious the boy doesn’t really sleep per se.
From here, Kunikida is careful to his subordinate’s sleeping pattern. He watches for when Atsushi will be about to collapse because of exhaustion and is always ready to collapse. He asks Fukuzawa if they can create a spot where he can rest if everything becomes too much (Shut up, Dazai ! It is not favoritism ! ).
Dazai :
No matter to who you ask, they will always give you the same answer : Dazai isn’t the spokesman for mental health. He spent more of his youth torturing and killing people, hurting his subordinates and bathing in the darkness.
He’s not naive enough to expect himself to totally change but he can try.
Odasaku didn’t transform him, he only made him discover new possibilites. Possibilites he had ignored his whole life before : he could be a good person.
So when he had met Atsushi, he had quickly understood the orphan was the perfect opportunity to prove Odasaku was right.
Dazai can’t change Atsushi, he can’t alleviate his loneliness or give him physical comfort. He’s just not good at it. However, pissing people off, this he can do.
Atsushi is not good at expressing his feelings. He hides them and don’t let anyone see his anger or his sorrow. Most of the times, he only offers soft smile as if he doesn’t want anyone to see his negative pulsions. It just won’t do, Dazai concludes. So he starts ploting.
Some of Atsushi’s belongings start disappearing, Dazai steals his food everytime he lets his guard down. To summarize it : he finds every sore points and play with them. It’s only when Atsushi throws a pile of papers to his face that Dazai allows himself to smile truthfully.
This bright boy will be alright.
His nose is probably broken though.
Once again, I apologize for any grammar mistakes I didn’t pay as much attention to it as I usually do. Sorry.
A (kinda sad) idea: Atsushi makes a tiger kitty noise in front of someone and loses it panicking because he’d get punished for making those noises at the orphanage.
I WOULD SNUGGLE HIM SO HARD
