Do You Think It Would Have Been Cool If Atsushi's White Tiger Aged With Him As He Grew Up

Your honor that’s his son

The biggest misconception in the bsd fandom ever to me is people constantly portraying Atsushi as someone who trauma dumps excessively when he canonically barely talks about it at all.

The entire point is that Atsushi does not talk about his trauma he’s just constantly thinking about/reliving it. He can’t escape the memories of his past so he tries not to acknowledge about them.

He only mentions it when asked, either directly or when someone asks him to explain himself.

Atsushi doesn’t even give a cohesive explanation for what he saw while under Dogra Magra, he just apologizes to Haruno and Naomi.

If Lucy hadn’t had her whole “you’ve never suffered the way I have” spiel then I doubt even the audience would’ve gotten to find out about his scars

If Akutagawa never asked him how it felt for the orphanage headmaster to die Atsushi would have never told him that he’s been hallucinating.

In the omake where Kyoka asks him why his hair is like that it’s clear he wouldn’t have told her that unless she had asked.

In 55 minutes Atsushi very briefly mentions sleeping on a dirty floor somewhere to Kunikida because he was trying to explain and justify his behavior.

And the thing is that there are scenes that implies that the other characters see Atsushi behaving strangely and are visibly confused because they do not understand what’s wrong with him.

Remember, we as an audience get to see things about characters that the main cast doesn’t. Just because we see into Atsushi’s mind doesn’t mean the other characters know what’s going on in there.

Also little footnote here that I think the scenes with Lucy and Akutagawa in specific are probably references to the moon over the mountain but I digress

Whenever I'm bored I draw nonsense (and these are always about SSKK). Well, a break before tomorrow's chapter.

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.

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

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

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
