the sskk that currently is amusing me is background sskk

but not like boring basic background sskk or the kind of background sskk that overfloods the sskk tag and pisses us all of

i want background normal freaky sskk

like higugin cafe au with higuchi's bestie (he hates her (no he doesnt)) and forced-wingman being akutagawa, featuring atsushi coming in and ordering the longest most disgusting drink and only wanting it to be made by akutagawa while akutagawa is seething in the corner and writing death threats onto his cup; after higugin start dating, higuchi asks why akutagawa puts up wiht it and gin reveals its cuz atsushi is his boyfriend

like kunichuu tattoo/florist (kunikida being the tattoo artist) au but with kunikida ranting to atsushi about how chuuya is so perfect but he just doesn't know, meanwhile atsushi is self tattooing akutagawas name over his chest like 'aww that sucks kunikida-san' and chuuya is freaking out over how amazing kunikida is, meanwhile akutagawa is sending 4019384903 bouquets to atsushi's apartment

like skk dating reveal where atsushi is Flabbergasted at a Mafioso dating a detective. how could htis happen. in which world. and then as he's being flabbergasted, he gets a call from akutagawa to stop leaving his white hair all over hsi jacket. and after publicly answering a call from his Mafioso boyfriend, he calmly puts his phone away and continues to be flabbergasted. eventually its revealed only to the reader that he transforms just to cuddle aku's jacket and leave his fur.

like kyouka/kenji highschool au where kenji comes to pick her up in his best suit, slightly too big for him, and ends up on her porch next to some goth holding a teddy bear and kyouka comes out and aku just nods and enters and kenjis like is that ur brother and kyoukas like no thats my brothers boyfriend; they fought over who can pet cats better but it got real bad, real fast

like tachizaki meet cute but atsushi just threw a park bench at akutagawa. tachizaki on their picnic date and sskk r making out on a park bench behind them

like kunikidazai office romance, featuring atsushi getting (and sending) death threats from his bf

shin soukokus love IS the definition of parallels. softness on par with sharp edges and bickering. fighting violent and bloody and yet gently supporting each other. hating each other with every bone in their body yet loving eachother the same. simultaneously mending and scarring and violently clawing at eachother

Wan sskk is so cute. They even have shoujo esque scenes w Akutagawa making an umbrella for Atushi and them walking together

They are they areeeeeeeeeeeeee Wan really IS the gift that keeps delivering. A lot of the charm of Wan sskk for me (on top of being a very faithful portrayal of the canon characters, portraying sskk just every bit as conflictual and snarky as they are in canon) is how a lot of times you just get this underlying feeling that sskk enjoy spending time together, and that they do so willingly; up to the most recent chapter where they seemingly decided to enjoy dango under the cherry blossom together. Here's some of the best Wan sskk moments:

Atsushi asking Akutagawa to draw himself instead (ch 28):

Sskk engaging in silly domestic competitions (v3 extra):

Akutagawa hit by cuteness aggression when seeing Atsushi AND Atsushi blushing while offering to eat pork buns together (ch 62):

Magical girls sskk (ch 82):

Atsushi visiting Akutagawa when he's sick and Akutagawa using Atsushi's full name (!! Implying “Jinko” actually *is* a term of endearment) (ch 91):

Atsushi venting at Akutagawa, arguably checking on him (ch 100):

Sskk once again engaging in playful fights and once again seemingly senjoying spending time together (ch 114):

Sharing Rashomon umbrella (ch 128):

Atsushi hyping Akutagawa AND smiling when he sees him get along with Gin (ch 144):

Akutagawa seeing a cat and immeditely thinking about Atsushi; sskk walking together, Akutagawa possibly bringing the cat home (ch 149):

And of course, Atsushi urging Akutagawa to take care of himself and giving him a piggyback ride (and Akutagawa immagining Atsushi with increasingly less clothes) (ch 162):

Also shoutout to sskk Wan illustrations:

composition idea

Bsd proved that both Akutagawa AND Atsushi can be kinght-in-shining-armour in less than five chapters. Atsushi is soft, gentle and kind as well as brutal, sarcastic and driven. He can beg Fyodor to return his friends AND turn around to rip through space and time to save his partner. He can say the most comforting words to reassure you and be absolutely salty if the occasion requires it. Sskk are a duality. They are both equal halves.

akutagawa frantically googling: is it bad to not know someones name after u've died for them and they've died and come back for u

[shh-shade]

I can't get over Atsushi's growth in the last chapter. Because coming from a place of doubting his ability to save himself and other people, he's now fully trusting his skill and its power to save everyone. And I really can't help but feel like these word are reminescent of how Akutagawa talked about him:

In both cases, Atsushi was present to hear Akutagawa say that. And those words coming from Akutagawa specifically; out of all people, Akutagawa would have no reason to lie about this, right? So from Atsushi's point of view, if Akutagawa says that, then he must believe it, then it must be true. That's why it's likely that Atsushi gained that confidence thanks to Akutagawa too. And it makes me :')

She wants that cookie real bad

[shh-shade]

But it was love, too

[shh-shade]

It was unhealthy,

It was controlling,

It was immature,

It was doomed from the start.

But goddammit, the love was there!

And more than anything, it was cherished.

something something.....

mizi not liking the idea of mating and "inevitably" falling in love with a man because its her predestined use as a woman, instead wanting sua, a woman.

and something something...

her close relationship with ivan.

and the fact that there is now a genetic match to both mizi and ivan, a child forcibly made between two people.

despite mizi hating the idea. it happened anyway, and *worse*, they didnt even need her. they still just wanted her looks in the end.
