I love any Atsushi hc where he has cat-like behavior. It's so adorable to see fanart of him doing the cat rub thing/head butt against other characters, but i would also like to see more tiger specific traits. Like they have "flexible spines" which gives them a wide range of movement compared to other big cats, their salive has antiseptic properties, they love water, and their canines have pressure-sensitive nerves to know where to bite their prey. All of which would be interesting in a fic, i think.
"Or maybe it was because he’d pushed President Fukuzawa’s ‘cat dad’ mug off the table in the break room. He had said it was okay, but perhaps he’d been lying and was now going to punish him. Or maybe it was because he’d taken a nap with Ranpo a while back, under the best ray of sunlight the building had to offer, but when Ranpo kept on shifting around, he’d let an irritated Byakko take over and trap Ranpo underneath herself."
pushing my catsushi agenda and ranpo cant sit still agenda
so much atsushi slander. how do i put into words that his character is so refreshing. that his reactions aren't weak for the situations he was put into and what prep he was given, but endearing to me because he's always trying his best. not in a 'he just messed up and is trying his best sort of way' but in a 'he's experienced so much cruelty that still affects him to this day, but he's still trying his best.' that he hates himself sometimes and can't brute force a solution to the problems he faces. he's just. so realistic.
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)
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
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:
I headcanon that Atsushi’s ability will on occasion partially or fully activate in his sleep so every so often in the middle of the night Kyouka will hear the thump of a huge tiger getting squished into the walls of Atsushi’s closet
Atsushi and Akutagawa just cuddling, well TRYING TO CUDDLE
Idk but like I have this one idea that anytime when Atsushi starts to feel like strong positive emotions that tiger is gonna kick in thus I can see him being very careful with Akutagawa with that happens 😂 idk why but it be funny if Akutagawa was just thinking in head going HOLD ME LIKE YOU MEAN it or something
Feral Atsushi because he is a weretiger.
Atsushi hates wearing shoes with a vengeance and kicks em off whenever Kunikida isn't looking.
He will argue what's the point anyway when his ability will just break them. It's not like the Orphanage ever let wear shoes anyway so what's the big deal?
When Atsushi runs he will automatically do it on all fours, because it feels natural and he's just faster that way.
He once gave Akutugawa a dead bird as an apology.
Atsushi curls up into a ball when he's asleep. He'll sleep in his futon but sometimes he'll just throw off his blanket and snooze on the floor.
He loves to swim because tiger and is almost as bad as Dazai in that he will just dive into whatever body of water he finds.
Dazai sometimes hops in with him because it's fun and it pisses off Kunikida.
Kenji is more than happy to gift Atsushi with meat he's acquired from family. Atsushi will straight up eat it raw if he's hungry, not even bothering to cook it if Kenji hasn't already.
Atsushi is a lot more alert and focused at night. He likes to take night walks and hunt in the woods.
Atsushi both as a combination of poor socialisation and being part tiger, doesn't understand humans and their etiquette sometimes. He will blurt out that someone is lying.
He will ask and state things very bluntly without beating around the bush what so ever. He was punished and taught to always tell the truth, so this all confuses him.
The only one who gets him in that regard is Ranpo.
When Atsushi gets lost or kidnapped he will roar to try and get the others attention.
Atsushi makes chuffing sounds when he's happy. He takes naps during his breaks, either curled up on the sofa or under his desk.
Atsushi has deemed the Agency as his terrority. He's very protective over everyone in the Agency, especially Kenji and Kyouka.
He had to be held back from biting Fitzgerald because Atsushi sensed bad intentions. Infact the Agency always know if someone's bad news because Atsushi will immediately start growling at em to back the fuck off.
And if that doesn't work Atsushi will than launch himself at them and bite them.
It's why they know Poe and Lucy are cool now because Atsushi just waved at them.
Cut to Ranpo leaving the meeting with Fukuchi after thinking it well. And the moment Atsushi spots Fukuchi he's on all fours hissing
Ranpo:... Well I fucked up.
u know how cats r usually very light sleepers???
atsushi being a light sleeper and every morning when akutagawa wakes up atsushi showers him with affection
akutagawa doesn't really think much of it
until one day he wakes up and notices the .5 seconds it takes atsushi to notice he's awake, he's staring at him teary eyed - becuz sometimes the reason cats r so affectionate in the morning is becuz cats think humans r cats too and get worried why u wont wake up
or so ive heard
anyway atsushi gets super worried becuz aku is a little bit of a deeper sleeper than him
