Can't actually believe sskk went from swearing to each other one of them would have killed the other in six months and then they both proceeded to die for the other before the six months even passed. No one does it like them
bsd but anytime dazai is being particularly annoying/distracting/whatever everyone just says something nice to him and he gets so surprised he just. stops.
dazai: kuni~kida~!!! kuni~kida!!! kuni~kida~!!! kuni~kida!!! kuni~kida~!!! kuni~kida!!!
kunikida, sighing: i didn’t want to resort to this
dazai: huh~? are you gonna hit me~?
kunikida, turning around and facing dazai, looking him in the eye: dazai, although you can be annoying most of the time, you’re a very dear and precious friend of mine and i value your presence in my life
dazai, turning red: O-O
dazai: *just melts onto the ground*
kunikida, adjusting his glasses and going back to work:
//
junichiro, to naomi: dazai-san’s been running me around for errands a lot lately its interfering with my work
naomi: oh.
naomi: we have to do that.
junichiro, nodding
dazai: heyyyy tanizaki can you do me a favor ~?
junichiro: of course! but before that i wanted you to know that um i think ur actually really nice and fun to be around even when ur bossing me around and i just really like that we’re friends
dazai, starting to blush:
dazai: O-O
dazai, slowly turning around and walking away:
//
and so on
i wanted to add the rest but all the thoughts in my brain went away
and also atsushi would only do it accidentally
dazai, irritating atsushi on purpose: im not being annoying am i atsushi-kun~?
atsushi, huffing and then smiling: a little but its fine. even when ur being weird i like it when ur around so i just have to accept every part of u
dazai:
dazai:
dazai:
atsushi: dazai-san…?
dazai:
dazai:
atsushi: dazai-san are you okay? u look red?
dazai: i have to go.

all of this is meant to be platonic but yall know i ship kunikida and dazai so-
atsushi making jokes about trauma he forgot to tell the ADA is so real and true to me
like
kunikida, to dazai: imagine having a struggle meal lmao
atsushi: imagine being the struggle meal lmao
dazai: what
atsushi: what
For those of you who may not be too familiar with the manga, during ch39: Portrait of a Father, Akutagawa shows up, as Dazai's informant, to give Atsushi documents about who the orphanage headmaster was and what happened to him.
At that moment, Akutagawa shows an uncharacteristic clemency towards Atsushi, saying that "Atsushi's master died today", and compares this to his own relationship with Dazai.
This was a long time ago now, and a lot has happened since. The Cannibalism arc is right after this, where they are very antagonistic towards each other, and includes this scene:
Akutagawa, despite his bitterness towards Atsushi for who he is to Dazai, has seen how similar they are in this sense. Atsushi hasn't, because his gratefulness towards Dazai prevents him from seeing that Akutagawa's experience was completely different with this same person. (he's also not given any time by the narrative to wonder about it)
but then just came along chapter 122!!!
Atsushi gets to see, 1:1, the relationship between Akutagawa and Dazai. For the first time, Akutagawa is relatable to him.
And of course, at the end, Atsushi calls out the illusion as being the headmaster wearing Dazai's face because we are closing this loop! We are forcing Atsushi to see Akutagawa the same way Akutagawa has been seeing him!
HC that even under Fukuzawa's ability Atsushi gets moody as it gets closer to the full moon. He gets more easily irritated and tiger features like his fangs and ears pop out more often than usual. Even though the president can suppress the full transformation Byakko WILL want to do kitty things on the full moon and make it everyone else's problem that she can't
What if BSD characters had YouTube channels (Based on this tweet)
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 😼
Kunikida, walking into his house: Hello, people who do not live here. Atsushi: Hey. Kyoka: Hi. Dazai: Hello. Kenji: Hey! Kunikida: I gave you the key to my place for emergencies only! Ranpo: We were out of Doritos.
Concept: Atsushi having the most terrifying reputation outside of the Agency.
The police know him as a dangerous beast that they couldn’t handle on their alone. And the man eating tiger rumours may not have ever been dispelled.
The Port Mafia know him as powerful ability user that not only bested Akutugawa. But put him in a coma no one thought he’d wake up from.
And subsequently became the only person that can match Akutugawa as an equal.
The fight between Lucy where Atsushi threatened to trap her “in a hell of her own making” was all witnessed by Mori.
And that the only reason their organisations are allied is because of Atsushi.
The Guild watched Atsushi jump off the Moby Dick while being gunned down and survive. They know he survived Lucy’s ability and defeated Fitzgerald.
The special abilities division know the hand he played in taking down Shibusawa as well as every battle he’s ever had.
Even random gangs in Yokohama have heard about that time the Agency went after that one guy for attacking their staff.
The trial of bodies that Atsushi left behind as he went after the rest.
“Oh shit it’s the weretiger” is a cry that no one ever wants knows to hear.
I like to imagine Joel tripped a little when he got shot so he could fit the theme of all of the Bread Boys Falling
