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.

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

atsushi learns to take care of long hair via kyouka - he's watched her do her hair and has helped her do it enough that he's pretty okay with it now

one day, kunikida's hair just keeps on slipping out of his pony tail and atsushi, noticing his frustrations, offers to brush it and tie it for him

he enjoys doing kyouka's hair, dont get me wrong, but he thought it was just a kyouka only thing - after all how could atsushi not want to do things for kyouka who was like a sister and who deserved help or assistance in small things if she so asked - atsushi didn't realize how much he was doing it to show his own affection for her

he finds as he's brushing hair, that its just a way he's been showing kyouka he likes her and now w/ kunikida

anyway atsushi ends up braiding kuni's hair while he's working, and is buzzing with this newfound understanding of another way he can show affection

and with the comb tightly in his hand he asks if anyone else would like him to brush his hair, as nonchalantly as he can

naomi takes one look at his tail wagging, w/ atsushi unaware, and says yeah sure and lets him brush her hair and tie it up

she even tells him to brush juni's hair - which isn't long at all but its still fun

the next day yosano asks atsushi if he could tie up her hair and even ranpo lets him brush it back once

slowly atsushi works his way through everyone in the agency

other than dazai

atsushi offers his services to dazai too

but dazai always refuses - he jokes about atsushi only not doing his hair and when atsushi says he will, dazai gets weirdly quiet and changes the topic after a minute

anyway

atsushi does end up doing dazai's hair, not just brushing, but washing and drying and pushing it out of his face, but its on one of those weeks where dazai cant bring himself to even get out of bed and atsushi decides to take care of him instead

anyway thank you person who said atsushi wants to braid kunikida's hair i love u

//

also atsushi doing gin's hair and akutagawa walking in is a funny image in my head

gin atsushi friendship >>>>>>>>>>>>>

gin atsushi friendship while akutagawa doesn't even know his sisters besties w/ his crush enemy and walks in on them having spa days and talking shit about akutagawa

shit as in "dumbass doesn't even know im in love with him" "my brother doesn't even know he's in love with you he's a special type of stupid"

the idea of atsushi just casually jumping like 7 ft up to get something off a real tall shelf is very good and canon to me. people ask him to get things down for them to watch him do the cat crouch before he springs up.

Atsushi and Piano man related headcannon

(@jisforj55 asked for more, had a fun idea so an attempt was made. This is just my take on it)

"Oh! You guys are gonna wanna hear this!" Called Albatross, walking over with Atsushi on his shoulders. "Oh? Are you going to admit to cheating at billiards earlier?" Asked Lippmann with a smirk.

"I have no idea what you’re talking about" said Albatross feigning confusion. He picked up Atsushi and gently set him on his feet before him.

"Our little goose has made a wonderful discovery and he’d like to share it with you all" he explained. Atsushi ducked his head shyly now everyone’s attention was on him.

Albatross ruffled his hair and gave him double thumbs up "you’ve got this!" He cheered.

Atsushi, with renewed confidence looked up at his uncle, who like everyone else had stopped what they were doing to listen. "You’re a superhero" said Atsushi, smiling brightly.

The flags were stunned (cept Albatross) and none more so than Piano man. He’d been called many things in his life but that was certainly a new one.

"Why do you think that, Atsushi?" He asked, curiously. "Chuuya was showing me a comic yesterday. It was about a superhero but I didn’t what that was so he told me. He said they save people who are scared and hurt and have cool powers.

And you saved me when the bad people got me. You help me when I’m scared and you have cool powers." Explained Atsushi, in that earnest way only children seemed to manage.

And not a second later was he pulled into Piano man’s arms into a warm hug. "Oh Atsushi" how could one so kind exist in a world so cruel and cold. "I am honoured to be your superhero" he was something far far more sinister to the rest of the world.

But here in Old World he was a colleague, a friend and an uncle. He would do anything for them. And if his little adorable nephew thought his uncle was a superhero. Than Piano man would be his superhero.

It was as simple as that.

Atsushi smiled, beckoning his uncle closer so he could whisper something to him.

Which he did, in a slightly quieter voice than usual so suffice to say everyone heard it. "It’s also because you get called Piano Man. Like superman but with piano’s."

Piano man chuckled, as did the others. "A keen observation, I’d expect nothing less of my little forger in the making."

"Hey, would that make a superhero too, little star?" Asked Lippman, smiling delightfully when Atsushi nodded.

(Chuuya walks in, hears Lippman call himself the amazing super Lippmann, while wearing a mask and cape and promptly walks back out.)

I love any Atsushi hc where he has cat-like behavior. It's so adorable to see fanart of him doing the cat rub thing/head butt against other characters, but i would also like to see more tiger specific traits. Like they have "flexible spines" which gives them a wide range of movement compared to other big cats, their salive has antiseptic properties, they love water, and their canines have pressure-sensitive nerves to know where to bite their prey. All of which would be interesting in a fic, i think.

atsushi: ryuu :(

akutagawa: what

atsushi: have u seen my shirt? my favorite one? i cant find it - my jackets gone too

akutagawa, wrapped tightly in a blanket: why would i know

atsushi: i mean u borrow them every now and then-

akutagawa: i've done no such thing

atsushi:

akutagawa:

atsushi: ryuu take off the blanket

akutagawa: no

atsushi with more cat/tiger behaviors but some lesser discussed ones:

he scratches all the doorways of the agency building and his dorm. kunikida scolds him for damaging property for over an hour but while he apologizes he’s strangely uncontrite (at least for atsushi who tends to overapologize) about it

/

a mostly nocturnal sleep schedule feels the most natural to him but since his orphanage’s schedule was (quite literally) beaten into him, he regularly wakes up early, though after a long mission or multiple in a row, he tends to sleep through the day instead.

/

when really frustrated (usually during an argument with akutagawa) he has a tendency to stomp his feet. it tends to break the tension, and atsushi finds its super embarrassing. akutagawa finds it cute

/

he’s constantly fighting the urge to sit on his coworkers desks while they’re working and distract them. same with knocking things off their desks.

/

head bunting!!!! he first starts doing it to kyouka after the end of the guild plot. just does it to her one morning while they’re cooking breakfast without realizing. he’s mortified for a moment until kyouka does it back, equally shy yet earnest about it. slowly he catches himself doing it to the rest of the agency: when kenji gives him a hug after a mission, when yosano buys him something he was looking at during a shopping trip, while sharing lunch with the tanizakis, to ranpo after atsushi solves his first mystery on own, to kunikida and dazai after a dangerous mission. he hasn’t worked himself up to doing it to the president yet (and fukuzawas kind of sad about it). dazai and kunikida are the most flustered by it, kenji and kyouka do it back to him the most.

/

as much as he hates being locked up or confined against his will (and he really hates it), he genuinely loves being in small spaces. he sleeps in the closest for kyoukas privacy but he does geniunely feel comfortable there. sometimes he eats lunch under his desk or in the supply room if he’s feeling stressed. dazai did give him a giant box once to see if he’d sit in it and he totally did.

/

he tends to suck on the corners of blankets and things like his shirts or sweaters when he’s asleep or distracted. dazai used to tease him for it until he read that it was often found cats taken to soon from their mothers. he didn’t really find it funny after that

/

he will just Stare at people. agency members look up from their work and will see him looking directly at them. he usually snaps out of it right after and apologizes but just like slow blinks and winks and closing his eyes, he starts doing it more and more as he gets in tune with his ability.

Headcanon that basically everything about Atsushi is incredibly vague.

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.

Atsushi joining the agency was such a huge win for Kunikida's "Make Dazai A Marginally Functional Human Being" agenda

because before telling Dazai to take care of himself just would not work since Dazai always just played it off with a joke so it went like:

Kunikida: You haven't slept in a week Dazai. Go To Bed or I'll take you there myself.

Dazai: Oh? Kunikida-kunnnn you want to take me to bed with you? how forward~~

but now its :

Kunikida: Dazai, I can't believe that YOU HAVEN'T SLEPT PROPERLY IN THREE DAYS

Dazai: pfft- please i'm fin-

Atsushi overhearing this from the other side of the office: Dazai-san that isn't healthy :(( you should probably sleep :(

Dazai immediately straightening up: you're so right Atsushi I probably should

all those images of atsushi with glasses leads me to pitch imagine atsushi was visually impaired and was subconsciously relying on the tiger's sight to see normally and didn't realize he needed glasses until dazai stopped him from jumping kouyou and he went damn why is she so blurry now

I LOVE THIS IDEA.

Any excuse to put Atsushi in glasses is a good excuse!

I can totally imagine Atsushi squinting whenever Dazai activates his ability on him. Everything gets blurry, and he’s just confused as to why that is. He probably doesn’t realize at first that it’s all thanks to his ability, which has been compensating for him all this time. It’s like a slow realization as he starts to piece things together. Cue a flustered Atsushi realizing it.

Once it does settle in, however, he would be teased a bit by Dazai for sure, but in the end, he might even tag along with Atsushi to get his eyesight checked and get him his glasses, even if Atsushi’s never going to use them much.

Additionally, a little headcanon I have that this reminded me of: Atsushi’s eyes are actually purely purple, so every time Dazai’s ability is activated on him, his normally purple-gold eyes are just solid purple. The yellow is a physical cue of his own ability, and also the reason why his eyes turn fully yellow when it is in use.

atsushi 🤝 poe

sensory overload

Odasaku, Sasaki, and the orphanage headmaster are all buried in the same cemetery.

So Kunikida, Atsushi, and Dazai all run into each other grave visiting regularly and politely pretend they don’t. They never acknowledge the meaning behind the bouquets brought, even if all of them know the others know flower language. They never acknowledge the tear streaks down Atsushi’s face, or the solemn look on Kunikida’s. Atsushi never points out how the scent of whiskey is always a bit stronger on Dazai’s coat. They never acknowledge the location of their accidental meetings.

Sometimes Kunikida might offer to take them to get food, or Atsushi will offer a random hard candy from his pocket, on colder days Dazai might lend his coat. None of them are really themselves when faced with grief, and none of them will to hold it against each other.

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)

I’m so obsessed with the idea of the ADA and the PM having beef, but only on the clock. On weekends they’re fine, they’ll give a subtle nod in recognition or maybe the younger members will engage in casual conversation, but Monday morning at 8 am? The black lizard is pulling up out front baby you already know

Atsushi with more non-human features. Atsushi with reflective eyes that creep out (some of) the ADA. Atsushi with pupils that contract into slits like a cat's when the area is bright. Atsushi with small fangs, canines sharper than a normal persons. Atsushi with heightened senses, who picks up on small details that even Ranpo can't. Atsushi who has naturally more animalistic behaviors and movements. Atsushi who shows affection in strange ways, like headbutting or slow blinking. Atsushi who's ability is wholly a part of him, ingrained in his very being.

atsushi (like me as a kid tbh) would just absolutely devour books. he fully taught himself to read beyond being taught the alphabet and since then he would be reading books like normal people breathe.

whenever he wasn’t locked in the basement, doing chores or otherwise facing the Horrors™️, he could be found hiding between the shelves in the library.

still, his options of books were pretty limited to whatever the orphanage had stocked or whatever would be donated throughout the years.

so when he joined the agency and had both a house and a stable income, he had the realization that he could read anything now. he could buy books and keep them. he could go to the library and rent whatever he wanted. he could read anything and everything and he was going to do it.

from romance to mystery, graphic novels to textbooks, he wanted to try it. used book stores are his new favorite thing (next to chazuke and napping in the sun with a friend)

/

the agency are semi-aware of this hobby of his, he can be commonly found with a book wherever he is.

they didn’t expect the odd knowledge that would come from it though.

atsushis just soaking up all his book knowledge like a sponge and surprising the others.

/

he bonds with yosano with an interest in medical care, and a lot of the science behind it. she recommends some of her favorite textbooks, journals and papers on the topics and give him some lessons in first aid.

he’s so eager to learn it all and yosano can admit it was nice to have an occasional assistant in her office.

/

ranpo often leaves poes books and manuscripts around the office after he’s read them for others to read and the first time atsushi finds them he’s immediately enamored with them. they certainly didn’t carry murder mysteries at the orphanage and he finds both really interesting and good practice for his continued job as a detective.

the next time poe visits the office he’s almost bowled over by atsushi, eager to talk to him about his stories. they have a great conversation (once poe gets through his flustered stammering) and meet up semi-regularly for more conversations like it.

/

kenji is overjoyed to talk to him about farming books and the techniques discussed and to help him get started with a windowsill garden for his dorm.

/

he just quotes poetry at akutagawa and he definitely doesn’t get flustered by it. (the first time be does he nearly skewers him on the spot out of surprise)

/

idk just atsushi being genuinely smart (like he is) and enjoying the freedom of being outside of the orphanage to take his life in his hands to enjoy what he likes.

also atsushi taking the time to get involved in his friends interests to show some of his appreciation for them (as well as to help find his own interests he was never able to find before)

Atsushi was chosen to be transferred to the Port Mafia. He's now isolated from everyone but Akutagawa and is desperately clinging to his sense of self. Atsushi falls his knees with tears in his eyes at the end of another emotionally exhausting day. It's only been a week and he doesn't know how much longer he can keep this up. If something doesn't change Mori will break him down and remake him in the Mafia's image.

At his lowest point, he asks himself the question he always asks when he feels backed into a corner: What would Dazai do? Immediately, the simplest solution falls into his lap. He would just act like Dazai...

... specifically, the way Dazai acts in the ADA office turned up to 11.

Atsushi would be too disruptive to rely on but too effective to punish. And if he was punished, he would take the pain while the tiger undid the damage. Satisfied with his plan, Atsushi goes to bed feeling lighter than he'd felt since he'd been dragged away from his family.

And so began the most stressful three weeks of Mori's Port Mafia career.

---

Atsushi: "Hey, Mori, I accidentally dropped three days' worth of reports in the paper shredder. Oh, and I'm taking lunch early. Just letting you know. Bye!"

---

Mori: "Atsushi-kun, where might you be right now? You know there's a meeting you're scheduled to be at."

Atsushi: "I'm so sorry, Mori, but I'm not going to make it. One of my boots is sick. I'll call you if anything changes."

---

Mori: "What happened to my office couch!?!"

Atsushi: "Oh that? I guess there was a full moon last night. I must've transformed and used it as a scratching post. Sorry, that happens sometimes now that Fukuzawa's ability isn't helping to control Beast Beneath the Moonlight.

Anyway, I'm gonna go take a nap in your car."

---

Mori: "Fukuzawa, I've made a terrible mistake. Please take the weretiger back."

---

The futon in the closet of his and Kyouka's dorm has never been more comfortable.

is this even funny i dont think its funny im not putting it in the tags

yet another chuuatsu crack-with-feelings idea

accidental fake date AU

We know from Kajii & Kyoka train ambush that Akutagawa was not the only one Mafia send on were-tiger bounty hunt. So, AU where Chuuya came back from abroad earlier and Mori gave him a go at capturing Atsushi.

And Chuuya of course would want to do it in full blazing glory of one-man front attack. Agency building is just arould the corner - when he stumbles over Atsushi coming home from work, literally walking into him.

Chuuya is taken aback with how polite, sweet and gorgeous Atsushi is - and how he senses no danger whatsoever. Now, the twistXD Chuuya thinks Dazai spilled the beans about every Mafia member' identity he knows, and after first attack Atsushi would be clued in, too. But - Agency is a beautiful mess, and no one gave Atsushi power point presentation yet. He has no idea he just crashed into Mafia Executive.

Chuuya thinks otherwise. This is Dazai protege after all, if he acts as if he doesn't know who Chuuya is that has to be on purpose, right? So he decides fine, this is a ploy of some sort. I'll play along, let's see what you've got. And he resumes the conversation as if they were just two people meeting by chance.

Chuuya tries a little flirting, simply to throw Atsushi off the game he thinks he's playing. But Atsushi just takes it as the truth. Bashful, yet so greedy for everything good in his life, and this graceful, fascinating man flirting with him? Even if its teasing, Atsushi responds. One thing to another, and Chuuya finds himself getting Atsushi on a date.

Fancy place of Chuuya's choice, of course, and he wishes Agency were-tiger would show his hand in this, finally, but he's just so earnest. For the first time in a restaurant like this, palpable awkwardness he tries to keep hidden, and Chuuya ought to revel in this, pick at this more to get him to break the charade, but damn it, he wants to put the guy at ease. Then the conversation, the way they fit - it plays better than it should, it just gets Chuuya deeper. He forgets at times this is work, and Atsushi is his mark who's pretending he doesn't know this, no matter how genuine feel his quiet smiles, his catching mix of self-deprecating remarks and sharp flashes of sass.

They stand at the pavement near the alley outside of restaurant when Mafia car is pulling up and Chuuya gets inside befoore reaching out to Atsushi. 'What are you doing?' Atsusghi asks, voice dropped almost to a whisper while he already takes the offered hand. And Chuuya has to fight trough his stolen breath, his missed heart beat while he feels Atsushi's trusting touch, how his pulse is quickened where the fingertips brush tender wrist skin right under the glove.

'Ah - Abducting you.'

The best performance of being sure and suave he ever gave. To match the portrayal of gentle naive he's been treated to.

Atsushi is pulled into the car with more force than both expected, falls over Chuuya and takes this as an invitation, gives in to a pull this man has over him already, captivating beyond anything he ever knew, Atsushi just - surges forward. The kiss is sudden, a little askew, open, lovely, giving - too good to be a lie. It gets Chuuya to melt for a second and then gets him angry. How can someone look and feel like this, this sincere, and be this shrewd at pretending?

Click if a switchblade ovening, cold under Atsushi's collarbone.

'You can drop the act now. I got you. What's the plan? Did that bandaged bastard replace the driver? Is he behind the fucking wheel - '

'W-what plan?'

The hurt, confusion - betrayal on Atsushi's face is too real. This has no point to be happening, Chuuya tries to re-evaluate everything but there was no way he really, truly didn't...

'Your Agency' plan to stop your abduction tonight?! The reason while you act all sweet as if you don't know I'm Mafia Executive.'

Now there's no confusion reflected in his chromatic eyes. Only hurt left, but then - anger, too, flurry, wounded.

'So... you played me? All this evening...'

Atsushi makes a move to break out of the car, and Chuuya darts to stop him, and now it's not even because he has to complete the mission, it's because realization sets it - he massively fucked all this up. But this is where the claws come out, because Atsushi really, really wants to get out of this car and away from this man. The car door is torn open, the brakes are hit, Mafia driver prays for his life - while Chuuya keeps pursuit through the streets, fresh scratches sting only adds up to the mix of feelings.

He was already half-taken by Atsushi's soft side, even when he thought it's played up. And now he knows it wasn't, and during the ensuing fight Chuulya just gets deeper into the trouble because now there's this thrill of unexpirienced but so strong and swift opponent. And deep under - the guilt because he wasn't honest with Atsushi, he was so sure he was the one being led on, he ignored everything that proved him wrong.

Maybe this is what does Chuuya in, really, when he lets Atsushi escape - not dealing much of damage beyond few bruises, and not really injured himself, either. He tells himself it was because they were fighting in living city area. He tells himself it was because it wasn't honest fight, anyway.

Maybe Chuuya can seizure the chance of rematch. Or better still, a chance to explain to Atsushi that awful, dumb misunderstanding.

All along I thought you knew who I was.

How would you look at me now when you do know?

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 the idea that despite their obvious color palettes atsushi is more into dark stuff while akutagawa prefers lighter ones. atsushi drinks black coffee while akutagawa likes lattes. atsushi listens to metal while akutagawa likes classic music. atsushi is maybe a thriller fan while akutagawa has comfort shows. it's just something i think about

What if instead of fighting over shin soukoku and atsulucy we found a third secret option?

hoping and praying that it’s just my browser

IM SO READY LETSGO SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW LIFE SERIES💥💥💥💥💥💥

jpsekai vs ensekai

Hate hate hate that Scar has this rep of being bad at the life series or being one of the quickest out. It is one of the most infuriating myths I am clawing at my hair. The worst he's done is 9th place. The quickest he's been out is 6th. Skizz and Tango have never placed better than Scar. Bigb, Bdubs, and Ren have only placed better than him once. None of these guys are treated as though they are in any way incapable. Stop infantalizing and belittling Scar
