CHUUATSU Post-Canon Idea (or I think it could be counted as post-canon):

With Fyodor defeated and the city finally once again settled in peace, the Port Mafia finally calls in their favor: one member of the Agency must join them. Everyone assumes it will be Dazai who will be demanded, after all, he was once their executive, and his mind is a weapon on its own. But to everyone's surprise, Atsushi is chosen.

Atsushi, the last person anyone would have expected to be forced into the darkness of the Mafia. Everyone is devastated, but they can't go back on the deal. They cannot afford to go to war with the Mafia so soon, not when the city is still recovering. And Atsushi, the ever sacrificing one, agrees.

Mori is no fool. He knows Atsushi won't be trusted within the organization, so he assigns him to Chuuya. More specifically, he orders the executive to keep him under constant watch, so much so that Atsushi has to live in Chuuya’s apartment, a decision neither of them is happy about.

At first, they avoid each other completely. They eat at different times, spend their time in separate spaces, and barely speak beyond what's absolutely necessary. Atsushi hates everything the Mafia stands for, and Chuuya doesn't have the patience to babysit someone who refuses to get his hands dirty. The tension is almost suffocating for both of them.

But then something changes. Avoidance slowly turns into small conversations, nothing deep, just a few comments here and there, maybe a little complaint. And then, small chats turn into sitting in the same room without any tension. Into sharing meals together. Into the comfort of simply asking what they should make for dinner. A comfort of having someone to come home to.

It takes a while for either of them to realize it, that the home life both of them dreaded has turned into something domestic. They start waiting for each other before eating. Sometimes, Chuuya brings home extra food because he knows Atsushi will be hungry. Atsushi starts cleaning up because Chuuya rarely does. The apartment, once a place of cold isolation, becomes... warm.

And that's exactly what makes them fall in love. Not the chaos and disagreements of their job, not the danger of the underworld, but the quiet moments at home, where they feel safe. Chuuya realizes he doesn't want Atsushi to lose the kindness that makes him who he is. He doesn’t want his blood Mafia black.

Their home life may be peaceful, but the Mafia isn’t. Atsushi’s refusal to bend to their ways is a problem. He’s still seen as an outsider, a liability, a weak link. There are whispers that he should be eliminated before he betrays them.

Chuuya is stuck in the middle. He still has to drag Atsushi along on missions, still has to cover for him when he refuses to kill, still has to argue. He tries his best to keep Atsushi afloat.

Despite their growing domestic peace at home, Atsushi's place in the Mafia remains uncertain. He refuses to kill, yet his strength makes him an undeniable asset. While most still don’t trust him, Mori keeps him around, watching, waiting, testing.

Everything shifts when a mission goes south. Civilians get caught in the crossfire, and while Chuuya moves to handle it the Mafia’s way, Atsushi steps in and stops him. He saves them without killing anyone, proving that he doesn’t need to play by the Mafia’s rules to win.

Mori takes notice. So does Chuuya.

It becomes clear: Atsushi won’t break. He won’t bend to the Mafia’s ways, no matter how much pressure is put on him. And instead of being frustrated, Chuuya finds himself relieved. He doesn’t want Atsushi to lose his kindness, to become numb to death.

So when the rest of the Mafia starts questioning where Atsushi truly stands, Chuuya makes his choice.

He stands beside Atsushi.

hot summer game night

[my piece for @boatemvillagezine]

BSD SPOILERS POSSIBLE BSD SPOILERS IM SORRY I DON’T KNOW HOW TO ADD CONTENT LITTLE WARNINGS FOR SPOILERS

what if because of Fyodors (possible or confirmed unsure) religious past and present, he thinks Atsushi isnt “man” enough due to his reaction to his offer to join the DOA, he see’s him more a “boy” and less than a “man” because he’s more emotional.

What if the orphanage told Atsushi that and that’s why he’s so insecure and why thinks he’s so weak, i believe there are SOME implications that the orphanage could’ve possibly been religious, and with how he was treated its possible they could’ve told him stuff like how he’s “not ready to be a man yet” because he’d was just a more emotional kid

okay thats it!! i’lll go back to drawing, #1 atsushi fan is leaving now

I wanna beeeeeee famoussssss

Cleo gets two versions bcs I am NOT used to seeing humancleo rather than zombiecleo. I based the confessionals off of random moments from various seasons 😼

Some Atsushi design notes/headcanons

This was too perfect not to do 🤧

The original ⬇️

Did I ever tell you about my head cannon that byako is a female tiger because the animators never animated the shef that irl male Tigers have.

So if Atsushi takes on byakos attributes during his partial transformation dose that mean he has a vagina in is weretiger form?

OK, so that's interesting. As far as I'm aware, Byakko doesn’t have a confirmed gender (I've seen people stating that Byakko is female in canon, but I couldn’t find any sources supporting that in canon at all; some people just treat it as such). I’ve also seen people say Atsushi refers to Byakko as male, but I didn’t find proof of that either. So, either the animators and the mangaka overlooked that detail, or they did so on purpose, either to keep the gender ambiguous or to hint that Byakko is actually a female tiger. Either way, your interpretation is totally valid.

If we go with the idea that Byakko is female, then it raises the question of how far Atsushi’s transformation actually goes. Does he take on all of Byakko’s physical attributes—not just the claws, fur, and fangs? If so, it’s possible his anatomy could shift to match hers. But since he’s never shown to fully transform (always keeping some human traits, except in episode 1), it’s hard to say if the transformation would extend that far.

So, I guess the real question is whether Atsushi just turns into any tiger or if he actually pulls from Byakko’s “DNA” and straight-up takes on Byakko’s body. But assuming that is the case... ENBY ATSUSHI!?

PLZ tell me some chuuatsu headcanons I love collecting themmmmmm

Also I totally agree with everything you said on their dynamic-- I've recently been exposed to way too many new ships (chuuatsu, kunichuu, kunichuuzai... etc etc), and I have fallen in love with chuuatsu and kunichuu bro😭 they have my HEART.

That's so real, BSD ships overall slay the majority of the time. Kunichuu is also a good one! Overall, I need Chuuya to be more in BSD; he needs to meet more people, smh.

But going over to the headcanons I have 👀

They technically don’t argue a lot, but they bicker constantly, specifically when Chuuya’s temper flares up and Atsushi doesn’t back down once he’s pushed too far (although it is more of a playful and sassy fight rather than actual arguments between them). They don’t hold grudges specifically because of that, as it is playful or, in the end, leads to breakthroughs in their own relationship.

They're very much "the opposites attract." Atsushi’s quiet and reflective nature overall often calms Chuuya down, while Chuuya’s boldness pushes Atsushi out of his comfort zone. They’re chaotic together, but it does balance out nicely.

Nicknames. Just nicknames. Chuuya has a horrendous habit of giving Atsushi the worst nicknames ever, and Atsushi pretends to hate it (even whining about it), but he does secretly find it endearing.

Sass everywhere. Sometimes it feels like a sass battle between the two, as Chuuya DOES use sarcastic and sassy remarks, which Atsushi isn’t scared to push back against with his own.

Chuuya wants to treat Atsushi to expensive dinners for dates. It never works. Atsushi’s simplistic nature means that while Chuuya plans for expensive dates, Atsushi always manages to get them to eat something cheap but delicious at the end of the day. The older can’t complain, though, as he does, in the end, enjoy it and even finds it endearing. Not that he’s about to admit it to anybody else.

If they live together, or Atsushi stays over for the night, Chuuya is usually a "morning grump," while Atsushi is always functional in the morning (waking up at 5 a.m. is wild, but at the same time, I get you, Atsushi... I used to have to stand up that early too a few years back). Atsushi loves to tease Chuuya about his bed head and his refusal to even speak before he drinks something.

They actually have tea times. Especially since, after some time, Atsushi developed a habit of brewing tea when Chuuya is stressed, so it became somewhat of a bonding ritual for them.

It’s not often they have missions together, but with the whole PM and ADA alliance still intact, it does happen on very rare occasions. After those missions, Chuuya sometimes drapes his jacket over Atsushi’s shoulders without really saying a word, while the other wordlessly sits beside him, offering a hand for him to hold if Chuuya looks upset.

While Atsushi is still too young to drink for now, he does somewhat pick up on Chuuya’s drinking habits. He doesn’t drink actual alcohol, usually settling on something like a soda or sparkling juice, sitting with Chuuya during his wine-drinking nights just so he can keep him company. Chuuya, in fact, appreciates the gesture a lot more than he’s willing to admit.

Atsushi isn’t stupid. He knows full well about Chuuya’s insecurities, which is why he subtly compliments Chuuya during casual conversations when he can tell Chuuya is feeling down on a particular day.

They both adopted a stray cat. It’s not to Chuuya’s ideals, as he did want a dog, but he will settle on a stray cat, which Atsushi just brings one day into the apartment... It then happens a few more times, so now they have 2–3 stray cats. Chuuya acts annoyed about it, but he does end up spoiling them with fancy treats and cozy beds.

So yeah! That’s them haha.
