One Time I Dreamt That Teen Dazai Was Living With Oda For Some Reason And Oda Was Like ‘hey U Can

Did anyone else think about how much pain atsushi would have been just from people yelling at him? House cats and especially big cats have very good hearing like better than a dog's hearing. So not only would have he been hit and physically abused his ears would have probably been in so much pain from all of them yelling at him all at once and his enhanced senses kicking it up a notch. Just something you think about

Got that one Ena card today. Since I have Mafuyu from the same set + their limited hairstyles, I thought it'd be cool to do some screenshots with my favourite N25 pairing

When I get Kanamizu limited card, I should do something matching with them as well

okay since obviously ive gotten to into catifying atsushi i forgot he was a tiger - as u guys pointed out

this is how a beach episode would ACTUALLY play out in my head - kunikida, dazai, and atsushi focus

kunikida: are you not gonna go swimming dazai?

dazai: nope! i think today im just going to relax in the sand! maybe i'll try and drown myself later tho... what about you?

kunikida: im not swimming either

dazai: awww why not

kunikida: for some reason i dont feel safe getting in the ocean w/ u here

dazai, snickering: aww~ how could you say that~ im so hurt

atsushi, in the background, trying to secretly run away:

dazai: aww atsushi-kun why are you sneaking away

atsushi, startled: me? running away? haha... no i wouldn't

kunikida: atsushi, is everything all right? don't tell me you've decided to not participate in a company wide vacation?

atsushi: no! it's not that

dazai: you cant swim? but you fish me out all the time

atsushi: i know how to swim! i just... i don't really like water

dazai: is it becuz you're a cat?

kunikida and atsushi: he's/im a tiger

kunikida: atsushi don't tigers usually like water

atsushi: well... im not really a tiger... it's just my ability

kunikida: is it becuz dazai's here?he is a rather unsafe person to be near when you're also near wtaer

dazai: how cruel~ atsushi-kun i pinky promise i wont drown you~

atsushi:

atsushi, shyly: you really promise?

dazai, who was just joking: ?????????

kunikida, also flabbergasted: ?????????? did you think one of us would-

atsushi: no! i mean obviously not haha... but you promise...?

dazai:

kunikida:

dazai: of course! we promise not to drown you

kunikida: and to get you out of the water if you're in trouble

atsushi: oh... but didn't you not want to swim

kunikida dazai, professional dgaslighters: that never happened

atsushi: ...oh okay... then i think i'll try to swim... you'll be there?

dazai and kunikida: of course

*later*

dazai: atsushi-kun you really...

kunikida: atsushi, please, it's been 7 hours come back out

atsushi, having the time of his life, eyes sparkling, tail wagging: five more minutes!!

kunikida: you said that last time too...

dazai: atsushi-kun sure likes water

kunikida, fixing his glasses: we have to just grab him and run off quickly

dazai: ooh~ kunikida wants to kidnap someone~? how despciable

kunikida: its not kidnapping its for his own good

dazai: if that helps you sleep at night :3

Chuuatsu

Atsushi talking about how adorable his partner is. While said partner is covered in blood and tearing apart the enemy who are running off in fear.

And failing.

Chuuya stopping beside him and Atsushi wiping off the blood of his face so he can give him a lil kiss.

Random bsd thought: what if Dazai overall actually has the most basic music taste of the cast

Dazai hates big group events where everyone needs to go somewhere because if he’s riding in a car with Chuuya and Kunikida they’re playing queercore and folk punk and shit,

and if he’s riding with Akutagawa and Atsushi they’re playing depressing nu metal and emo classics

and Yosano and Ranpo only play like, bad bitch music,

and the black lizard listen to the most horrendous mixture of classical music, dad rock, and EDM because they just shoved all their songs onto one playlist and called it a day,

the Tanizaki’s and Kenji are a huge toss up but it usually ends up being musical theater…

and Dazai just wants to listen to like. The Barbie soundtrack, but no one trusts him with the aux cord no matter how much he promises he’s gonna play something normal

Like he’ll be in the back of a car texting Chuuya like “can I pleeeaasseee ride with you guys on the way back, Atsushi and Akutagawa have been playing EAT on repeat for forty five minutes and I’m gonna hear Poppy in my fucking nightmares for weeks”

And then he’ll get in the car after whatever and Kinikida grabs the aux and Dazai’s like “oh thank god, surely Kunikida of all people will have a normal playlist”

And then he sees Kunikida pull up a song called “vagina police” and crank the fucking volume and he realizes very quickly that his headache will not be going away any time soon.

Concept: Atsushi with looser morals.

Atsushi was raised in an environment where the kind die first. A place where he was taught the only person you can trust is yourself.

Atsushi learned how to survive a point system that never rewarded him. He would do other kids chores, take their punishments in exchange for food.

He was raised in hell and it meant that he learned to survive by any means necessary.

Atsushi stops Junichiro and passes his entrance exam because Dazai and Kunikida were kind to him. They gave him food, shelter and saved him when no one else ever has.

He doesn’t get involved until they’re put in danger. In his eyes he was paying them back for it and the job was completely unexpected.

Obviously Atsushi accepts because where else was he gonna go with no qualifications and an ability he can’t control.

He does pay Kunikida back for the 30 bowls of tea on rice even if the other says he doesn’t need too.

As if not paying his debts ever felt like an option to him.

Atsushi doesn’t think he’s a good person. He follows the law because the Agency (sometimes) does. He helps protect the city because the Agency does.

And working with the Agency gives him shelter and money so that he can eat and thus live.

Atsushi doesn’t think he belongs with them. He’s a coward and in the end he only really looks out for himself. In his eyes he’s not a good person.

Definitely not someone worth their kindness nor their belief and trust.

When the Port Mafia comes for his bounty he runs off without a second thought. He only comes back because Kunikida calls him to come help with the clean up.

Atsushi just silently sweeps up debris dodging the questions demanding to know where he was.

He doesn’t get why they don’t just sell him out. Sure they can clearly handle the Port Mafia but the bounty would be useful to them all.

It’s not like he’s worth keeping around. Certainly not for Dazai to let himself get kidnapped for.

He’s just another ungrateful mouth to feed as the Heasmaster would call him.

And he’s not wrong because Atsushis whole life has been spent trying to survive to his next day that actually being able to live his life feels weird to him.

He doesn’t really know how too. He had no dreams ot aspirations. He never thought he’d live long enough to escape the orphanage.

Maybe he should just hand himself over? Take the cash and dip while the others use his wage for something far more useful.

Maybe find someone worth keeping around.

But Atsushi doesn’t.

Because as times go on he starts to realise that not only does the Agency care about him. But that he cares for them too.

He likes watching Dazai and Kunikida bicker. He feels a sense of comfort when Yosano asks if he’s okay. When Ranpo tells him that he did a good job.

But the real kicker is when Atsushi meets Kyouka because all his instincts scream that he should run.

But he doesn’t.

Because Yosano is counting on him to protect the trains civilians. And he doesn’t want to let her down.

Kyouka Izumi is not a civilian.

Kyouka Izumi has a bomb strapped to her chest and has killed 35 people and will probably kill him too.

The Agency might be disappointed if he took her out but they’d understand.

But Atsushi has no reason to save her, for god’s sake he can’t even save himself how can he possibly help her?

So why does he look into her eyes and see himself. He sees a survivor, he sees someone who won’t fight him back because living was never an option for her.

Well who decides that?

Who decides whether or not if a person deserves to live or die? He didn’t think he deserved too and yet he was saved.

To live your whole life thinking such a thing…isn’t living at all. Atsushi wouldn’t wish such a thing even on his worst enemy.

“I don’t want to kill anyone else”

He moves without a second thought and the next thing he knows is he’s in the Agencies infirmary.

“Why did you bring her here?”

“I don’t know! Because you told me that we help people. And she…she needed help.”

He can barely understand it himself and yet the look Kunikida gives him is both exasperated and proud.

“So you finally admit it then. Hmm, I’ll speak to the President and we’ll go from there.”

“Admit what?”

“That you’re a member of the Armed Detective Agency. You’ve finally accepted that you’re one of us.”

Oh.

Oh he did, didn’t he?

And it felt right.

And so Atsushi makes himself a promise.

That if the Agency wants him to be kind then he’ll be kind. If the Agency wants him to fight then he’ll give it everything he’s got.

If the Agency wants him to sacrifice his life he’ll do so without question.

Because Atsushi doesn’t know how to live for himself so he’ll live for them.

And if they care for this city and all those within it then he’ll treasure it.

Something about how Atsushi can trek through the past and the future when all he wants is to go back home to the Agency.

And it’s the one place he can’t go.

hand pain atsushi goes so well with my artist hc atsushi

What if Atsushi met Chuuya instead of Dazai??

Atsushi: *he finds a particular red head mumbling to themself and wiping a motorcycle clean* he excuse me ma'am or sir...

Chuuya: *he looks over at Atsushi* .... Is there something you need?

Atsushi: *panics* do you need help?

Chuuya: ..... Help would be appreciated

Atsushi helps Chuuya clean the motorcycle

Chuuya: I need to pay you back somehow... You hungry?

Atsushi: *slowly nods*

Chuuya: great let's go

They get some tea on rice, chazuke?

Atsushi: thank you Mr..?

Chuuya: Nakahara, Chuuya Nakahara

Atsushi oh I'm Atsushi Nakajima and thank you Mr. Nakahara

And Atsushi unintentionally followed Chuuya to the Mafia HC to which when he turned into a tiger alone with Chuuya, Chuuya treated him with the respect he ever rarely got when he was younger and now Chuuya just has a "pet" tiger and was just accepted as a respected member of the mafia

The mafia recognizes that they should not do anything to the tiger or Atsushi

Atsushi and Chuuya become close and at some point Atsushi meets Kenji and they become friends as well

Atsushi thought at some point it was okay to introduce Kenji to Chuuya

And thus forming a friendship circle of three people lol

Kenji: so Atsushi is my friend and your friend...

Chuuya: yea??

Kenji: We shall be friends!!

Chuuya: *smiles* then we shall kiddo

Atsushi: *smiles*
