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
owie
Finale kinda crazy. Ending even crazier. Was that actually him. Also. Atsushi's fangs were beautiful. I wish we got more Atsushi with tiger traits. I literally die of happiness every time I read a fic where he chuffs, or scents, or lays in sunbeams. The mental image of him getting hugged by Dazai or Kunikida and just getting so happy that he lets out a breathy chuff is just SO CUTE. Don't even get me started on Atsushi kneading. Don't even get me started on Atsushi expressing his affection like a tiger w/ the ADA. Atsushi and ADA platonic love is actually amazing.
Tiger instincts in not tiger body + Atsushi being sassy is just.... peak fiction. My favorite thing to read. Red in Tooth & Claw on ao3 is LITERALLY THIS and the best fic in existence. When it updates every 7 days it literally makes my week. I love it so much. I love Atsushi so much...
atsushi doesnt like storms becuz all alone in the cage the loud noises scared him but its okay now becuz dazai and ranpo noticed so dazai holds his hand when its storming so the loud noises arent as loud and ranpo gives him candy and yosano bought him noise cancelling headphones and kunikida makes him hot chocolate and fukuzawa gives him a weighted blanket and junichiro calls him every time it says its gonna storm to let him know and kyouka sits by his side so he knows he's not in the cage and akutagawa tried to fight the sky (he was a little tipsy when he first learned)
Представьте, что у тигра аллергия на мандаринки и директор приюта — единственный, кто знал об этом, а Фукудзава и Харуно как кошатники могут догадаться, что это возможно. Ацу не понимает, почему ему никогда не давали их есть, а добрые коллеги решают накормить Ацуши первым в его жизни мандарином, но тигр реагирует по-своему.
Imagine, tiger dislikes oranges, and orphanage director is the only one who knew, and Fukuzawa and Haruno can guess it. But Atsushi didn't know about it because he wasn't allowed to eat it. And now his friends wants to feed him oranges. Tiger hates citrus smell.
И на второй картинку Ацу сидит в уголочке не из-за самой мандаринки. Просто не легко принять, что кто-то, кто очень сильно портил твою жизнь, мог сделать и что-то правильное(
For Atsushi it's hard and hurt to realize someone who made his life terrible sometimes did right things
ちょっとまってください。 Читается как "чëтто маттэ кудасай", дословный перевод - немного подождите, пожалуйста. Довольно простая и распространённая фраза.
ちょっとまってください。 Rōmaji: chotto matte kudasai. まって = wait, ちょっと = a bit, ください = please.
Atsushi with more non-human features. Atsushi with reflective eyes that creep out (some of) the ADA. Atsushi with pupils that contract into slits like a cat's when the area is bright. Atsushi with small fangs, canines sharper than a normal persons. Atsushi with heightened senses, who picks up on small details that even Ranpo can't. Atsushi who has naturally more animalistic behaviors and movements. Atsushi who shows affection in strange ways, like headbutting or slow blinking. Atsushi who's ability is wholly a part of him, ingrained in his very being.
My only "pet peeve" about Cat Like-Atsushi stories
I don't know if anyone else cares about it, but I care about it so imma talk about it.
Tigers cannot purr.
Basically Roaring and Purring are exclusive. Cats who can purr can not roar and cats who can roar can not purr. Tigers roar, they do not purr.
Now honestly, it doesn't bother me too much, as purring is adorable and Atsushi being able to purr while human can be explained away by "Oh human vocal cords aren't strong enough to roar, so when he's human he can purr instead", but i would like to see some roaring atsushi fics.
Like, maybe Dazai's teasing goes a little too far one day and he roars to warn Dazai to get out of his face, or Kyouka gets lost in a crowd and he roars to find her out of instinct, or if you wanna get shippy he roars as a way to get Akutagawa's attention.
I guess I just wish Tiger habits were explored more was apposed to him just being compared to a domestic cat.
That's all.
Edit: Unrelated, but you know how Snow Leopards carry their tails around in their mouths? I know tigers don't do it, but I kinda wanna see Atsushi do that. Like his tail pops out when he's nervous and he walks around with it in his mouth. Idk it just sounds cute.
YESSSS to the"feel strongly, that's what you do when you want to experience the past". atsushi's hallucinations mentioned by fake dazai YAY next month has to be about atsushi's ptsd PLSSS (also, AWWW atsushi's expressions when he's overwhelmed😭 i want to hug him)
Platonic caretaking is everuthing 2 me especially w the ada + atsushi. He probably gets really anxious when he gets sick which makes it worse, and hes worried theyll b ngry with him and just. Cannot comprehend someone being worried for his wellbeing 🥺
anon this is one of my favorite things 😭 i truly love sick and anxious Atsushi who truly can't comprehend others worrying over him...insisting he's fine and he'll take care of himself to avoid getting in the way of others but making himself feel worse with how anxious the situation makes him. Kunikida pretty much forcing him to rest because he can see how much damage the anxiety is doing...I love emetophobic Atsushi who throws up in front of the others despite doing everything he can to avoid it and working himself up about everyone's reactions so much that he passes out. waking up in the infirmary to Dazai telling him to not even think about getting up because Kunikida will run him over with his car lol. Atsushi feeling a little more secure with just one person there instead of the whole agency reassuring him. Dazai quietly telling Kunikida they need to handle the situation more carefully next time 💔
It is! The headcanon anon!!! I shall give you four fluffy, somewhat cat!Atsushi headcanons right now to make you smile 💜💜💜 Hopefully these are as cute as I think they are! Regardless of how plausible they may or may not be, though, they do make me smile- Hopefully. They can do that for you, too!
- Much like actual tigers will groom each other and their young, Atsushi will also do this!!! It’s primarily reserved for the baby siblings (IE- Kyōka, Lucy, and Kenji), and it’s done in a more human fashion, but I’ve always imagined that he’ll start idly brushing their hair if it’s messy or it he just doesn’t have anything to do with his hands. He’s surprisingly good at giving them cute hairstyles!!!
- I like to imagine that the ADA has an unspoken rule that you Are Not allowed to move if Atsushi falls asleep on you… Like if someone’s pet falls asleep on your lap, you know?
- He bleps sometimes. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules. He kitty, he blep.
- Okay so this one might be more funny that fluffy but I feel like the idea of Atsushi chasing a laser pointer is too good to ignore??? Ranpo would absolutely fuck with him using one and it makes me giggle.
Have a nice day, Ray 💜 Make sure to get some rest and sustenance!
Look no I love these and now I'm also stuck thinking about Atsushi being very particular about Dazai's bandages. One starts fraying, they get stained, anything and he's fretting
BUT
he also has the deep urge to bat at them all the time and the struggle is so so real
