Atsushi 🤝 Poe

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.

i NEED Grian to go full psychological horror on the hermits with the permit office. i need multiple layers of permit waiting rooms each that plays a more distorted and unsettling version of the please hold music as you go deeper, I need there to be a constant static buzzing being played I need the lights to flicker, I need grian to stand ominously at the end of hallways just to disappear behind a corner

atsushi learns to take care of long hair via kyouka - he's watched her do her hair and has helped her do it enough that he's pretty okay with it now

one day, kunikida's hair just keeps on slipping out of his pony tail and atsushi, noticing his frustrations, offers to brush it and tie it for him

he enjoys doing kyouka's hair, dont get me wrong, but he thought it was just a kyouka only thing - after all how could atsushi not want to do things for kyouka who was like a sister and who deserved help or assistance in small things if she so asked - atsushi didn't realize how much he was doing it to show his own affection for her

he finds as he's brushing hair, that its just a way he's been showing kyouka he likes her and now w/ kunikida

anyway atsushi ends up braiding kuni's hair while he's working, and is buzzing with this newfound understanding of another way he can show affection

and with the comb tightly in his hand he asks if anyone else would like him to brush his hair, as nonchalantly as he can

naomi takes one look at his tail wagging, w/ atsushi unaware, and says yeah sure and lets him brush her hair and tie it up

she even tells him to brush juni's hair - which isn't long at all but its still fun

the next day yosano asks atsushi if he could tie up her hair and even ranpo lets him brush it back once

slowly atsushi works his way through everyone in the agency

other than dazai

atsushi offers his services to dazai too

but dazai always refuses - he jokes about atsushi only not doing his hair and when atsushi says he will, dazai gets weirdly quiet and changes the topic after a minute

anyway

atsushi does end up doing dazai's hair, not just brushing, but washing and drying and pushing it out of his face, but its on one of those weeks where dazai cant bring himself to even get out of bed and atsushi decides to take care of him instead

anyway thank you person who said atsushi wants to braid kunikida's hair i love u

//

also atsushi doing gin's hair and akutagawa walking in is a funny image in my head

gin atsushi friendship >>>>>>>>>>>>>

gin atsushi friendship while akutagawa doesn't even know his sisters besties w/ his crush enemy and walks in on them having spa days and talking shit about akutagawa

shit as in "dumbass doesn't even know im in love with him" "my brother doesn't even know he's in love with you he's a special type of stupid"

Concept: Atsushi’s first transformation in the series is quite violent and that doesn’t change going forward.

Maybe it’s because of what Shibusawa did to him. Maybe it’s because he hasn’t accepted the tiger.

Whatever the case even with All Men are Equals in effect pain is the basis for Atsushi to transform.

A fact that doesn’t surprise him much.

Akutagawa looking down on Atsushi as this weakling and watching him writhe in agony. Because losing his leg was nowhere near as painful as gaining it back.

It even makes Akutagawa look away at the horrid sight. And while he’ll dismiss it here as time goes on he’ll think back on it.

How strong Atsushi must be to bare such a burden. How he’s seen people tortured fold quicker and yet Atsushi just picks himself up and keeps going.

Perhaps in sharing his ability Akutagawa hopes deep down that just for a little while that burden can be shared.

Kouyou watching in morbid fascination as this boy breaks himself apart just to save her Kyouka. All while Kyouka sees the lengths Atsushi will go for her, to save her.

Lucy’s cries that Atsushi’s more special die on her tongue seeing the agony that such a gift grants. How she would never want wish such a thing on anyone.

And the protectiveness she denies having when he goes off to fight once again.

The Agency as a whole try to use Atsushi’s ability as a last resort. No one likes seeing him in pain no matter how temporary it may be.

And no many times Atsushi reassures them it’s fine. Because really pain makes Atsushi who he is and he doesn’t get how to explain that.

If it means saving everyone he cares about and the city they hold dear then well it’s worth it.

Atsushi joining the agency was such a huge win for Kunikida's "Make Dazai A Marginally Functional Human Being" agenda

because before telling Dazai to take care of himself just would not work since Dazai always just played it off with a joke so it went like:

Kunikida: You haven't slept in a week Dazai. Go To Bed or I'll take you there myself.

Dazai: Oh? Kunikida-kunnnn you want to take me to bed with you? how forward~~

but now its :

Kunikida: Dazai, I can't believe that YOU HAVEN'T SLEPT PROPERLY IN THREE DAYS

Dazai: pfft- please i'm fin-

Atsushi overhearing this from the other side of the office: Dazai-san that isn't healthy :(( you should probably sleep :(

Dazai immediately straightening up: you're so right Atsushi I probably should

Fanfic idea  - Jealous drunken Chuuya x Drunken cat Atsushi

Prompt: As described Atsushi and Chuuya get drunk and comedy ensues

Actual idea- 

So I’m imagining thats its sometime in the future during a cherry blossom viewing.

Everyone is getting drunk and having a great time but cue Atsushi and Chuuya getting drunk.

Turns out a drunken Atsushi acts really silly, like everyone keeps referring to him as a cat and asks him to bring out his tail and ears. Ya know silly stuff but at some point drunken Atsushi just starts acting like complete cat and starts cuddling up to people he likes. You know partially cause he’s drunk and he’s just instinctually scent marking people like an actual cat. 

This all comes to a point where he starts cuddling up to Dazai which triggers the next event.

Which is a jealous drunken Chuuya.

You know in my head Chuuya already found Atsushi to be really cute at the beginning of the night before the tiger ears and tail came out. 

Atusshi is just adorable and Chuuya immediately wants to get to know him more but denies himself since he doesn’t want Dazai to be an ass about it.

Well a few hours later drunken Chuuya gets jealous that the cute weretiger is cuddling up to Dazai. 

Cause ya know Dazai is the worst and in Chuuya’s mind doesn’t deserve to have an adorable creature cuddling up to him and being affectionate. 

So in his drunken jealous wisdom Chuuya thinks its a great idea to go over there and just grab Atsushi and say that Dazai doesn’t deserve to have a cute cat before walking back over to the port mafia side while a confused but still drunk Atsushi just kinda shrugs and continues to act like a cat. 

Just ya know:

Angry drunken Chuuya (clutching Atsushi like a child would a plush toy): “O-oi this cat is mine now! F-fuck off  you Shitty Mackrel!”

Atsushi (who is now slightly confused but unbothered just makes chuffing sounds before cuddling into this new persons neck and nuzzling their cheek like an overly affectionate cat.) 

the idea of atsushi just casually jumping like 7 ft up to get something off a real tall shelf is very good and canon to me. people ask him to get things down for them to watch him do the cat crouch before he springs up.

Dazai: ugh I wish someone would commit double suicide with me

Kunikida, fed up: Dazai, give up, no one-

Atsushi, sleep deprived, borderline $u1c1dal: I would lol

Kunikida: what

Dazai: what

Atsushi: what
