Hc Anytime Someone Calls Aku An Annoying Emo Bitch Atsushi Pops Up To Correct Them That He's An Annoying

The thing is Fyodor could’ve had Atsushi in his grasp before the series even began.

That’s without question no one else knew who or where Atsushi was until he showed up in Yokohama at 18 years old. While Fyodor has known about Atsushi, his ability and his location at minimum since he was 12. Because that’s when Fyodor sends Shibusawa to him.

And even when Fyodor is actively having Atsushi hunted down for through things like his bounty and the Guild’s incineration plot, it feels more like a test that anything else. It’s like he’s continuing where Shibusawa left off, setting these events and observing how Atsushi will fare through them.

Ironically in a way similar to a cat playing with it’s pray.

Like I don’t think for 5 minutes that Nathaniel Hawthorne showing up on the sky casino was supposed to be a legitimate threat. Especially knowing Lucy was there and allowing himself to get caught without even fighting back.

But I don’t think he was just randomly there, he had a purpose and it was to tie a string of blood to Atsushi. In order to keep a track of him.

A moment that stands out to me is during the Hunting dogs arc when Nikolai’s fighting Atsushi and tells him ‘you’re not one of the murder targets." Because it implies to me that Atsushi’s role is different to everyone else’s. He should be with the Agency, getting framed and then going on the run but he’s not. Atsushi is down underground fighting Nikolai who just leaves him there.

And yeah Kyouka shows up to help him but the people who came to inspect that area weren’t guards or soilders but the forensics team. Meaning that Atsushi wasn’t in any real danger and for a plot like this where the Agency should have nowhere safe left to go to that is rather odd.

The only exception to this I feel is the stuff with Fukuchi because he did originally plan to kill Atsushi. The only reason he didn’t was because Akutugawa showed up but even then he tried to have him kill Atsushi. Only reason Fukuchi didn’t go after Atsushi after was because it would’ve complicated the timeline.

Feels like an outlier because all Fyodor’s plans have involved trying to capture Atsushi. Even the Guild incineration plot had them keep him safe as a prisoner. And well, Fyodor kinda needs Atsushi alive for his plans.

Hell Fyodor was in the alleyway Atsushi was walking into in the Cannablism arc. You see him turn around at hearing Atsushi’s voice and he leaves to let Atsushi discover Dazai’s body. He just leaves him alone and carries on with his plan.

All of this just reads as "I need you but not yet." There’s a plan for Atsushi alright, there’s been one going for a long time but it hasn’t come to fruition yet. Much like how the book has specific parameters of when it can be used and its conditions, Fyodor is waiting until everything is put in place to enact his grand plan.

One in which Atsushi will be the centrepiece.

Anyways... what?

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

Orange Cat Atsushi

Aka Atsushi is part orange tiger and thus exhibits orange cat behaviours.

Dazai: I know Atsushi I’m sure Kenji will be back soon.

Tiger Atsushi is curled up in a ball on the road and growls sadly.

Dazai: Oh I think I see him.

Tiger Atsushi perks up.

Chuuya: What the hell are you doing out here?!

Dazai: Oh never mind it’s just Chuuya. You know he’s so easy to mistake for a small child.

Chuyya: Why you!

Tiger Atsushi growls sadly.

Dazai: Wow Chuuya I hope you’re happy now you just made Atsushi sad.

Chuuya: I didn’t do shit. What’s wrong with him anyway?

Dazai: Atsushi wants to be carried.

Chuuya: You’re kidding me.

Dazai: Nope and while we could if he was in human form he refuses to turn back. And when I was gonna turn him back he hissed at me.

Chuuya: Oh boo hoo.

Dazai: Exactly, so now we have to wait for Kenji to come back from his case. But he ran into trouble so this is gonna be take a while.

Chuuya: What kind of giant rampaging tiger wants uppies?

Dazai: This one.

Chuuya thinks it over and sighs before looking at Atsushi.

Chuuya: So werebrat you wanna be carried?

Tiger Atsushi nods gravely.

Chuuya shakes his head and then lightly boops him on the nose and activates his ability.

Tiger Atsushi floats up in the air and spins around happily.

Dazai: Oh look you have uses after all.

Chuuya: I’m not doing this for you.

Dazai: Good because asking you for a favour might just kill me.

Chuuya: On that we agree:

Dazai: He looks so happy.

Chuuya: Yeah…why does he keep trying to crash into that building?

Dazai: When it comes to Atsushi one can never truly know.

hey don’t cry. trees grow out of the ground.

robber, pointing a knife at atsushi: give me everything you have on ur person right now!!

atsushi, sighing, and pulling out what looks like a wallet but is a comically long card holder filled to the brim of pictures of akutagawa in weird poses like mid sneeze:

robber: uh

robber: i said everything!!

atsushi, pulling out the dazai missing poster he made and keeps on his person just in case:

robber:

atsushi, pulling out an autograph book but filled only with ranpo's signature:

robber: do you have anything of value

atsushi, continuing to pull out random strange friend associated thing like one of those comically large knife collection memes but without knives:

robber:

atsushi: oh and i have a dollar

robber: thats it

atsushi: also ur under arrest

robber:

robber: u couldve done this the entire time

atsushi: i wanted to show someone my collection :)

hc that dazai sleeps best when he’s not alone

atsushi has noticed that anytime he’s over at dazai’s dorm he seems a bit hesitant to let him go home, he’ll keep joking abt how dangerous it’d b for atsushi to leave so late despite them being a wall away, someway or the other he seems to be stalling atsushis departure. atsushi always saw dazai as a more secretive person so he doesn’t expect it out of him and thinks he’s just kidding around but the one time he does stay he notices how relaxed dazai looks, not the kind of lazy relaxation he exhibits when he’s ignoring his work at the office or listening to music but different. like it isn’t just his body that’s relaxed but his mind as well he looks much more at ease now that atsushi has agreed to stay

What if BSD characters had YouTube channels (Based on this tweet)

atsushi tells dazai the headmaster looked like him in his hallucinations and dazai starts rolling on the ground
