My hc when Atsu is being nervous he starts throws in random facts or nonsense about the Bible. On purpose or not? It depends
Also shout-out to @inamagicalhallucination and her old(?) hc Aku being Atsushi's interpreter
*after a hard and bloody mission*
rando: how can you handle so much pain?
Atsu: well do you know that lady gaga in bible...*keeps talking bullshit*
rando: what
Aku: he's fucking with your head, so he can fuck away your dumb questions out of your head
can’t put the pen down
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
Do you have any beast sskk hcs?
weekly movie theater dates
r more likely to bottle up issues w/ each other than mainuniverse sskk (until they work on it) when they start dating (as in less likely to admit the other person said something hurtful)
in true sskk fashion, atsushi is more like himself with aku than anyone else -- in this case more gentle
coffee dates
aku helps atsushi gradually live w/o his collar
the tiger is less friendly in general but super friendly with akutagawa
rashomon is also very gentle w/ atsushi
at some point atsushi just gets up and leaves yokohama (and the orphanage) and everyone he knows to deal with Everything and the only person who knows where he is is aku (and ranpo)
beast!atsushi is generally more soft spoken and calm than main universe atsushi and will go forever just not talking --- so sskk will be together and neither of them will talk
sskk date nights where they just do their own thing w/o acknowledging the other person
they dont move into atsushi's apartment, they get one together where there's room for atsushi to plant a garden (theres a fic about beast atsushi liking plants that is True to me)
akutagawa hates dazai but he never comments on the few things atsushi keeps as a reminder of him and always goes with him to visit his grave on the anniversary of his death
atsushi has a house husband moment during his self discovery phase
idk why people photoshopped the crying cat meme on this pic when the unedited version is so powerful
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.
🤣anyone else hear that ominous bell tolling???🤣🤣🤣no?? just me??????😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Do you think Beast Atsushi has nightmares of Akutagawa with his neck slashed open
Comic from an incorrect quote by @flamie-42
WHY IS THE QUALITY SO GOD DAMN BAD?!
Mood: atsushi reaching for akutagawa as one of them dies
Is this a guy ish looking girl or girlish looking guy? Meeting him for the first time everyone waits for someone to use a gendered term to refer to him instead of daring to guess
He simultaneously looks 15, 18, and 20 at the same time. Has been repeatedly served alcohol on accident multiple times but has also been mistaken for a kid in his first year of high school and has to flash his id like 3 times a day.
All members of the agency know that he’s been through a lot but no one really has the specifics. He’ll only drop tidbits of info when it’s relevant and won’t open up unless prompted to.
His ability is one of the most enigmatic things about him. Any questions he answers just leave’s everyone with more questions, so the agency has resorted to just being grateful that he’s on their side. Even people like Francis, Mori, Dazai, and Fyodor don’t quite understand everything.
