I’m So Obsessed With The Idea Of The ADA And The PM Having Beef, But Only On The Clock. On Weekends

after despair comes joy

I brainrotted and I got more coming

“THE DUNGEON IS READY FOR ITS NEXT VICTIM”

Jimmy: *screams* wait, where’s Etho? I’m scared!

H: he left you, it’s only you

Jimmy: DAD? DAD?? *frantically looks around* DAD?? WHERES DAD?

Doc: dude, you’re triggering my parental instinct

Jimmy: where is he 😭

Doc: I wanna take you into my hand and take you to a safe place

I LOVE THEM

Doc always in dad mode

You know what would be an amazingly angsty idea? Byakko thinking Atsushi is unworthy of them, but instead of the "he's weak" kind of way, it being "he's unworthy of me because I don't want to see him suffer." Byakko's existence puts their user at risk, forcing them to forever struggle and bear enormous responsibility—a destiny they did not ask for. It would also be amazing if the story were from Byakko's perspective, with them always trying to ensure Atsushi survives, constantly watching, but at the same time, not being able to do anything to stop his suffering, no matter how much they would wish to.

Orange Cat Atsushi

Aka Atsushi is part orange tiger instead of white and exhibits orange cat behaviours.

Akutagwa: There’s no need to make things easier for him. That Jinko is…where did he go?

Fukuchi: I think he just jumped into the sea? Not the tactic I expected but I’m guessing this wasn’t part of your plan.

Akutagwa: For god’s sake…Jinko!

Atsushi pokes his head out of the sea.

Akutagwa: Get back here! We have more pressing matters to attend too!

Atsushi huffs and Fukuchi laughs.

Fukuchi: So much for the great save, huh?

Akutagwa, narrows his eyes: Jinko if you agree to return to this ship I…will allow you to play with Rashomon.

Atsushi perks up.

Akutagwa: But if you’d rather swim about…

Next thing you know Atsushi’s on the ship, shaking himself like a dog and drenching Fukuchi in sea water.

Before standing beside Akutagwa.

Atsushi: I’m holding you to that.

Akutagwa: Why you wish to use my ability for something like tug of war is beyond me. But I always keep my word.

Atsushi chuffs with a toothy grin.

Fukuchi: You two are weird. And so confident that you’ll leave this boat alive when facing me-

He then slips on the water that’s puddling around him.

atsushi: ryuu :(

akutagawa: what

atsushi: have u seen my shirt? my favorite one? i cant find it - my jackets gone too

akutagawa, wrapped tightly in a blanket: why would i know

atsushi: i mean u borrow them every now and then-

akutagawa: i've done no such thing

atsushi:

akutagawa:

atsushi: ryuu take off the blanket

akutagawa: no

bsd but anytime dazai is being particularly annoying/distracting/whatever everyone just says something nice to him and he gets so surprised he just. stops.

dazai: kuni~kida~!!! kuni~kida!!! kuni~kida~!!! kuni~kida!!! kuni~kida~!!! kuni~kida!!!

kunikida, sighing: i didn’t want to resort to this

dazai: huh~? are you gonna hit me~? 

kunikida, turning around and facing dazai, looking him in the eye: dazai, although you can be annoying most of the time, you’re a very dear and precious friend of mine and i value your presence in my life

dazai, turning red: O-O

dazai: *just melts onto the ground*

kunikida, adjusting his glasses and going back to work:

//

junichiro, to naomi: dazai-san’s been running me around for errands a lot lately its interfering with my work

naomi: oh.

naomi: we have to do that.

junichiro, nodding

dazai: heyyyy tanizaki can you do me a favor ~?

junichiro: of course! but before that i wanted you to know that um i think ur actually really nice and fun to be around even when ur bossing me around and i just really like that we’re friends

dazai, starting to blush:

dazai: O-O

dazai, slowly turning around and walking away:

//

and so on

i wanted to add the rest but all the thoughts in my brain went away

and also atsushi would only do it accidentally

dazai, irritating atsushi on purpose: im not being annoying am i atsushi-kun~?

atsushi, huffing and then smiling: a little but its fine. even when ur being weird i like it when ur around so i just have to accept every part of u

dazai:

dazai:

dazai:

atsushi: dazai-san…?

dazai: 

dazai:

atsushi: dazai-san are you okay? u look red?

dazai: i have to go.

all of this is meant to be platonic but yall know i ship kunikida and dazai so-

how Mizuki sees the current world now👁👁

Atsushi and Piano man related headcannon

(@jisforj55 asked for more, had a fun idea so an attempt was made. This is just my take on it)

"Oh! You guys are gonna wanna hear this!" Called Albatross, walking over with Atsushi on his shoulders. "Oh? Are you going to admit to cheating at billiards earlier?" Asked Lippmann with a smirk.

"I have no idea what you’re talking about" said Albatross feigning confusion. He picked up Atsushi and gently set him on his feet before him.

"Our little goose has made a wonderful discovery and he’d like to share it with you all" he explained. Atsushi ducked his head shyly now everyone’s attention was on him.

Albatross ruffled his hair and gave him double thumbs up "you’ve got this!" He cheered.

Atsushi, with renewed confidence looked up at his uncle, who like everyone else had stopped what they were doing to listen. "You’re a superhero" said Atsushi, smiling brightly.

The flags were stunned (cept Albatross) and none more so than Piano man. He’d been called many things in his life but that was certainly a new one.

"Why do you think that, Atsushi?" He asked, curiously. "Chuuya was showing me a comic yesterday. It was about a superhero but I didn’t what that was so he told me. He said they save people who are scared and hurt and have cool powers.

And you saved me when the bad people got me. You help me when I’m scared and you have cool powers." Explained Atsushi, in that earnest way only children seemed to manage.

And not a second later was he pulled into Piano man’s arms into a warm hug. "Oh Atsushi" how could one so kind exist in a world so cruel and cold. "I am honoured to be your superhero" he was something far far more sinister to the rest of the world.

But here in Old World he was a colleague, a friend and an uncle. He would do anything for them. And if his little adorable nephew thought his uncle was a superhero. Than Piano man would be his superhero.

It was as simple as that.

Atsushi smiled, beckoning his uncle closer so he could whisper something to him.

Which he did, in a slightly quieter voice than usual so suffice to say everyone heard it. "It’s also because you get called Piano Man. Like superman but with piano’s."

Piano man chuckled, as did the others. "A keen observation, I’d expect nothing less of my little forger in the making."

"Hey, would that make a superhero too, little star?" Asked Lippman, smiling delightfully when Atsushi nodded.

(Chuuya walks in, hears Lippman call himself the amazing super Lippmann, while wearing a mask and cape and promptly walks back out.)

Atsushi was chosen to be transferred to the Port Mafia. He's now isolated from everyone but Akutagawa and is desperately clinging to his sense of self. Atsushi falls his knees with tears in his eyes at the end of another emotionally exhausting day. It's only been a week and he doesn't know how much longer he can keep this up. If something doesn't change Mori will break him down and remake him in the Mafia's image.

At his lowest point, he asks himself the question he always asks when he feels backed into a corner: What would Dazai do? Immediately, the simplest solution falls into his lap. He would just act like Dazai...

... specifically, the way Dazai acts in the ADA office turned up to 11.

Atsushi would be too disruptive to rely on but too effective to punish. And if he was punished, he would take the pain while the tiger undid the damage. Satisfied with his plan, Atsushi goes to bed feeling lighter than he'd felt since he'd been dragged away from his family.

And so began the most stressful three weeks of Mori's Port Mafia career.

Atsushi: "Hey, Mori, I accidentally dropped three days' worth of reports in the paper shredder. Oh, and I'm taking lunch early. Just letting you know. Bye!"

---

Mori: "Atsushi-kun, where might you be right now? You know there's a meeting you're scheduled to be at."

Atsushi: "I'm so sorry, Mori, but I'm not going to make it. One of my boots is sick. I'll call you if anything changes."

---

Mori: "What happened to my office couch!?!"

Atsushi: "Oh that? I guess there was a full moon last night. I must've transformed and used it as a scratching post. Sorry, that happens sometimes now that Fukuzawa's ability isn't helping to control Beast Beneath the Moonlight.

Anyway, I'm gonna go take a nap in your car."

---

Mori: "Fukuzawa, I've made a terrible mistake. Please take the weretiger back."

The futon in the closet of his and Kyouka's dorm has never been more comfortable.
