Experimenting With Color/composition

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

Anyways... what?

what song is he playing

atsushi definitely does poorly in heat i feel

like he’s totally fine up to a certain point but when it gets into a heatwave he’s off his game

the first heatwave he spends at the agency he passes out during a mission and gets minor heatstroke (because atsushi has never really gotten to exist outside in heat and doesn’t know a.the symptoms of heat exhaustion and b. doesn’t like to insist on his own limits yknow he feels like a burden)

the agency gets really used to spotting the signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke

atsushi takes to laying on the agency floor a lot during the summer (hes just like my cat fr)

If Atsushi gets sent to the Port Mafia after this good luck to them.

Honestly I don’t think anyone is equipped for this except maybe Kouyou because of Chuuya. And Hirotsu because he’s Hirotsu.

Everyone would be expecting the strong sassy weretiger that takes no shit and regularly fights one of their higher ups.

They’re gonna get a broken boy who wants just wants to go home. A shell of who he was because everything died with the Agency.

Mori pauses mid speech because Atsushi’s just looking at him with blank empty eyes that feel all too familiar. But even those eyes were cold, there was life in them.

Dazai walked those halls with purpose and an ill fitting coat. While Atsushi wanders like a lost soul.

Akutagawa stays firmly at his side. He doesn’t fight him even if he does try to stir up their old banter. He didn’t fight Atsushi the day the Headmaster died and he won’t now.

He just hopes Atsushi doesn’t become like the lost boy from the slums.

One of the rare times Atsushi speaks its to ask Akutagawa why wait 6 months? Akutagawa simply shakes his head saying he won’t go back on his word.

Which is true but also because he would gain nothing from fighting a man who wants to die. And maybe he doesn’t want to kill Atsushi after all.

Atsushi who takes whatever he’s given without a word. He hugs his old clothes like a plushi as he sleeps in the back of the linen closest. Because he refuses to use the room they provided him. It’s not his so he won’t act like it.

He fights on autopilot but he’s never put on a major job. Probably because they’re afraid of what he might do.

Q taunts him but Atsushi doesn’t bat an eye because there’s nothing Q can show him that’s worse than what he’s seen. All he can do is taunt Atsushi with things his mind already does.

The only hope Atsushi has that he clings onto is that he can save them.

No one in the Port Mafia will ever forget the day some dared to insult the Agency in Atsushi’s presence. No ons saw him move. No one saw him activate his ability. Everyone heard the scream and the sound of claws digging into flesh.

Even Akutagawa was taken aback. This made the Shibusawa fight look almost peaceful in comparison.

‘Talk about my friends again, and the next time I won’t miss.’ Hisses Atsushi coldly. He throws the person to the ground like rubbish and walks out the door.

His hands are shaking as blood trickles down his claws.

i think atsushi is nonbinary. for no reason other than the fact that i think its funny the tiger boy with yellow-purple eyes is nonbinary.

In chapter 162 of Wan! Akutagawa gets a heatstroke and then Atsushi brings him to hospital and it is just the cutest thing ever

HE PIGGYBACKED AKUTAGAWA 😭

I love them sm, also Atsushi stayed at the hospital until Akutagawa woke up<3

Atsushi caring about Akutagawa is adorable

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

well guys

au where no one tells atsushi akutagawa's name so at first he's just like 'this guy' or 'you' and eventually they've been running into each other for a hot second and atsushi's too embarrassed to ask now

and he can only say 'heyyyyy.... you' so long before akutagawa catches on that atsushi doesn't know his name and again atsushi is a little embarrassed since akutagawa knows his first and last name

so he starts saying nicknames like 'well well if it isn't the rabid dog' but thats long so it shortens to 'dog' but thats kinda mean and atsushi is learning that as much as akutagawa can rip him apart limb from limb he's also pretty harmless in some ways (and also if he says dog near akutagawa's coworkers that weird hat guy turns to him and then gets angry and stomps away so) so 'dog' is too violent so now he's calling akutagawa 'puppy' or 'pup'

but rabid dog to pup nickname pipeline isn't the only pipeline atsushi's got going on in terms of nicknames

there's "god you don't do anything for urself u just follow orders" to just calling him "doll"

the "what u have to have the highest quality tea or you wont drink it?" to "princess" pipeline

theres also "hey dude!" "do not call me dude" "hey d-du... uh i mean dear"

and calling akutagawa a coward for whatever he's got going on to calling him a baby (derogatory) to just calling him baby

and eventually at some point he starts realizing that these names are not translating the same way between him and akutagawa and literally anyone within hearing range

so he just owns it

but his other nicknames which don't have malicious roots aren't treated differently becuz akutagawa just thinks he's a weirdo which yeah

//

when he and akutagawa start getting close ranpo throws him a bone (in exchange for enough candy to fit a room) and tells him his name

and when atsushi calls akutagawa akutagawa, akutagawa gets upset so atsushi thinks he said the wrong name and corrects it by saying the other name ranpo gave him and akutagawa seems oddly pleased w/ being called ryuunosuke so atsushi takes it as a win
