Lately I’ve been really enamoured with the idea that the tiger is like. a secondary personality in atsushi’s head that he can speak to, and occasionally the living incarnation of gremlin brain
atsushi, grocery shopping: okay so i’ve saved enough coupons to eat this week tiger: fish. eat. consume! atsushi: no, i’m not transforming in the middle of the supermarket so you can go apeshit on the raw fish section. tiger: but….fish prey atsushi: but money can and should be exchanged for goods and services tiger: useless square leaves.
atsushi: smiling is a display of affection, okay? tiger: baring your teeth is a challenge and an invitation to fight or submit atsushi: well, how would you show affection? tiger: slow blink to display trust. rub scent glands against them. chuff. curl around to share warmth. atsushi: that’s– listen I know I had a weird childhood deprived of affection, but I really don’t think that’s how it works. tiger: ….bring prey for them to consume? atsushi: no. i still haven’t been able to look Kunikida in the eyes ever since you left the dead rat on his back porch tiger: was gift. atsushi: he doesn’t eat rats! tiger:…bring mouse? atsushi: you know this would be a lot easier if you didn’t keep suggesting dead animals the rest of the ADA, who’s been watching this one sided exchange go down: 0_0
Your honor that’s his son
Ely Ely Ely for the requests maybe Beast! Atsushi in a cat café? I feel like he would like those
He loves them :3 (everyday I wake up and thank god for the stroke of wisdom that hit you when you suggested raccoon stripes beast sushi)
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
i think a lot about how atsushi sleeps in kyouka's closet. like. boy did you need a den. did you need a little tiger den
Life is so much more enjoyable once you stop putting so much pressure on yourself
vivid image of my head of akutagawa grabbing atsushi's tiger tail and yanking him back when he's about to wander off
Late night thought about Atsushi. If the orphanage didn't mistreat and starve him, would he have been as muscular as a tiger? Would he also have more tiger instincts and have a stronger connection to Byakko?
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)
