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.
“Plehehehease! Ryuu! I cahahan’t— I can’t take anymohohore!” Atsushi wheezed as Akutagawa tickled him relentlessly. Akutagawa raised an eyebrow, but then noted just how exhausted Atsushi was. His face was flushed pink and his eyes looked teary. He couldn’t always handle being tickled for this long, and Akutagawa knew he had definitely had more than enough.
Akutagawa pulled back from his hips and sat awkwardly, unsure of where to place his hands. He finally settled for rubbing Atsushi’s head gently. Atsushi was still giggling, but he leaned into Akutagawa’s touch anyway, smiling.
“Do you need anything?” Akutagawa asked, suddenly worried. He hadn’t meant to tickle Atsushi for as long as he did, he just got carried away sometimes listening to his laugh and watching his reactions. Atsushi shook his head, letting his head fall back into the couch pillow. Akutagawa frowned.

Convinced atsushi is so stressed out all the time that he is pretty much always running a low grade fever
I love the idea of this so much actually...maybe it has something to do with the tiger ability...maybe he goes to Yosano one day exasperated asking for some advice or medication to help manage his stress because it overwhelms him sometimes and maybe while looking him over she feels that he's warm...she checks his temperature and it's just an even 100. Not bad but not normal. She recommends something he can take and gives him some fever reducers and sends him on his way...she checks on him a week later and realizes he still has the same fever. and then the week after that. she comes to the conclusion that he just always has this for some reason and I need to figure out how to fix it lol
Headcanon that the tiger causes Atsushi to consume more calories/energy doing literally than normal people so his coworkers are always making sure he’s eating enough (especially difficult because growing up in the orphanage taught him to not eat a lot)

Beast ranatsu has a lot of angst, but Ranpo slowly gains Atsushi's trust and Atsushi Ranpo's. Forehead bumps are the most common form of affection they give each other, since Atsushi has a huge touch aversion
atsushi: heyyy dazai-san!! good morning!!!!!!
dazai: hey atsushi~ do you wanna hear my cat impression???
atsushi: ?
atsushi: uh sure ig
dazai: heyyy dazai-san!! good morning!!!!!!
atsushi:
atsushi: >:(
*later*
dazai: kunikida-kun!! atsushi bit me again!!!
kunikida: its probably ur own fault
fukuzawa holding atsushi like a misbehaving cat: atsushi... we have talked about this
atsushi, tail sadly swishing:
Onto season 2 for Bungo Stray Dogs and with the comparisons between Kyoko’s and Atsushi’s powers being inherently combat based but also Atsushi just being Not The Same, I’m imagining Atsushi transformed and Just Being A Cat rather than a terror at the orphanage.
Destroying everything? Was using the wall as a scratching post. Eating all the food in the kitchen? He was hungry (and had to rip the fridge door off to get to the meat). Knocking everything over Because It Was There. Scratching stuff up to mark territory. Chasing after people? Was wanting to demand pets and scentmarking.
i like to imagine byakko only lets dazai transform her back to atsushi in ways she likes to bully him
if u dont know, my general headcanon is that byakko still overtakes atsushi completely during full moons (i mean... weretiger) but she's no longer aggressive becuz atsushi is no longer abused/alone/in danger so she just hangs around, takes walks, goes hunting, tries to eat ranpo, ya know the normal stuff
but sometimes if atsushi is scared or anxious or stressed, she'll just take over, especially at night time (weretiger i mean come on) but like still, she's chill
anyway a lot of the time she takes over and the ada get called in and need atsushi or just need atsushi back for whatever reason, dazai has to use his ability on her
and she's surprisingly nonchalant about it... kinda
dazai: okay byakko, lets have atsushi bacmphfasdfj
byakko, stalking forward to slap her paw against his face:
/
dazai: byakko there u r, enjoying the stars?
byakko, calmly walking over, getting on hind legs to place her front paws on dazai's covered shoulders:
dazai: aww missed me
byakko, licking his face:
dazai: mph-afjsslkf eww stop that
atsushi, transforming back: huh? where am i... dazai san why is ur face wet
/
dazai, seeing byakko and waving at her: there u are!! be a good kitty- oh no ... no bad kitty... stay back bad kitt-
byakko, leaping of whichever building she was on to run full speed at dazai and tackle him to the ground, transforming back to atsushi in the process:
atsushi, waking up dazed and confused on a vaguely injured dazai: wha? *falls asleep*
/
dazai: here kitty kitty
byakko: >:(
dazai: aww are u mad at me?
byakko turning away dramatically and letting her tail slap dazai across the face:
/
sometimes she's nice and puts her face against dazai's and gives him a little greeting or lets him try to pet her or grabs the end of his coat and starts dragging him away or bites his hand or sits on him or sits still and lets him transforms her back
