#bsd chapter 87

[caldera1000-7]

Second time I've ever seen Akutagawa apologise was before he was supposed to "kill" Atsushi here.

I like how out of all the known generations of duos in BSD, SSKK/Shin Soukoku (I still don't like this name for them as a more yin-yang sounding one sounds more suitable.) they harbor the least amount of hatred toward each other at least after some time, or are just more likely to end up being the "successful" duo. Especially considering that one interaction in Beast... They could get along without even fighting.

With Fukuzawa and Mori its like they're on complete opposite ends, they in the past and now do not get along.

With SKK/Soukoku/ Dazai and Chuuya, they haven't gotten along but could work together when they had to. They still have an amount of hatred in their complexity, or just could never work as "friends" after everything that has happened or during all that has, despite the trust that has built upon years of working together.

Then there's Akutagawa and Atsushi... At first it was confusion, then hatred from Akutagawa, then Atsushi firmly not liking him, to Akutagawa understanding, to Atsushi still being confused but not completely firmly disliking/getting along with him through their team-ups and the fight with Ivan despite their verbal clashes during that time. To Akutagawa being there on that battle with Fukuchi when Atsushi was alone, to the trust that built for the battle as comrades for that one time in that second they needed to defeat Fukuchi.

I don't know what they are now, and I await the day they become friends even if it happens when one of them dies. But they definitely had more of a journey of understanding and not liking views, of jealousy, of defeat, of strength of self, of willpower, of survival, of trust, and of life and death.

Asagiri really makes some interesting and well-written character duos.

Akutagawa's eyes were covered when he was about to bite Atsushi tenderly here,

and this is how he actually looks like.

What if he said this in his mind because he couldn't stop himself from biting Atsushi?

[noodle-bro]

[kyouka-supremacy]

Imagine if Akutagawa's sacrifice was like that Destiel scene. I think about this a lot actually

[selfaware-bungou-stray-dogs]

hellooo I want to see the character's reactions to a teen!reader that almost never cries and who feels their emotions pretty weakly, and usually resorts to humor to cope (ending up in making dark jokes about the characters' pasts, but regretting it after they make it.)

this changes when they read chapter 87/see episode 3 of season 5. suddenly the reader is crying for at least an hour about Akutagawa's death, and they realize who the reader's favourite character is from that lmao.

I'm curious about both before and after they leave their world, but you don't have to write both.

Stoic! Teen! Reader

Self-Aware! Platonic! Akutagawa Ryunosuke x GN! Teen! Reader

Description: They get used to you not being emotional. But, one day, your emotions showed.

_______

🧥 You weren't an emotional one. They can't recall many moments, of when you were crying over reading about their past. Yes, your voice would tremble, but, no tears were shed.

🧥 They won't say, that you have a dark sense of humor. It's more that you don't think your jokes through. Many jokes would end in you apologizing to them. It was... endearing in its own way. You didn't know, that they were real, yet, you always apologized, if you thought, that you cross the line.

🧥 There was one thing, they wondered about. Who were your favorite among them?

🧥It was an important question to them. Okay, they simply are curious. And they have every reason to be curious! They were planning to make your life good and happy, and knowing who you will be most comfortable talking with, is essential.

🧥 One day...

__________________

The last pages of Chapter 87 faded on the Meeting Room's "otherworldly" screen. You (and them), finished reading it.

They were quiet. Despite the fact, that ever since Karma was spared, the "cannon events" wasn't happening (Pushkin was really happy not to get punched by Fukuzawa and Mori, Kunikida was grateful, that he didn't lose his hands...), it was hard to see them being hurt. Or mortally wounded.

And then, the cry came.

Akutagawa have Higuchi a side eye, but, it wasn't her. A cry came from above.

Then Little Light plopped down on Akutagawa's head, sobbing, hugging his head.

"No. No. No. Please, no."

Despite everyone being alright, Fukuchi felt guilty over something, he didn't do.

Akutagawa tried to per Little Light, calming you down, but, as usual, his fingers passed through Little Light.

He didn't like, that you were sad.

You continue sobbing.

Gin coughed.

"Well... At least... We knew, who is Guiding Light's favorite... Ango-san, get the camera. Guiding Light are in dire need of more cards of my brother."

________________

🧥 You cried for an hour. Later, when you open BSD Mayoi app, a few dozens new Akutagawa cards waited for you. Akutagawa felt, that they made you happy. You also changed all your cards in team selection and home screen to his cards.

🧥 During the next chapters, you were quieter, than usual. When, in manga, Bram turned Akutagawa into a vampire, you let out a hopeful

"Maybe... Akutagawa will be alright..."

Akutagawa was glad, that you felt better. And Bram apologized to him. Despite not doing anything to him.

🧥 When Episode 3 of Season 5 came out, you cried again over Akutagawa's fate. Fukuchi apologized again. And was planning to apologize to you.

🧥 And then, the day of their arrival came.

__________

The day was wild.

You were doing your homework, when your phone's screen started glowing white. And then, BSD Cast appeared in your room.

You spent the next ten minutes jumping from being confused to apologizing for making dark jokes. Everyone just laughed it off. Then, Fukuchi stepped forward.

"[Y/N], I want to apologize for what happened with Akutagawa in the manga."

You stay quiet. You nodded, scanning the room with your gaze. Akutagawa was here, well and unharmed. Human.

You felt your cheeks burning up. Akutagawa must have heard you crying over Chapter 87. And then over Episode 3.

You shyly looked at your feet. You didn't know what to say next. Then you felt a warm hand on the top of your head.

Akutagawa spoke.

"Hey, [Y/N], don't be sad. I am alright. And I promise that both you and I and all of us will be alright. You believe me?"

You nodded.

For now, you didn't know, that Akutagawa mentally add 'little sibling' at the end of his little speech.

[sickficideas]

Mayoi's(BSD Gacha game) new New Year's event kind of confirmed that Gin knows Akutagawa is dying and I want to cry...he told Atsushi in chapter 87 that he hasn't told anyone but that doesn't mean nobody has figured it out 💔

[crows-junk-pile]

spoilers for up to chapter 87 of bsd

there no real way akutagawa's dead right??? RIGHT????? No fucking shot. This is part of a plan right???? This feels like something Dazai would account for right? One of the pupils he sent out getting murdered. RIGHT???? Anyways a new charater has been added to the fictonal charaters I want dead list

[bsdanimes-blog]

The moral of the story according to these ‘What Goes Around Comes Around’ panels is

DO NOT HURT OR KILL YOUR ENEMY ESPECIALLY YOUR ENEMY'S LOVER BECAUSE YOU MIGHT END UP LIKE THE LAST PANEL.

BSD fandom bear with me as i do some math, cause I've been trying to figure out just how far this season is going to get in adapting the manga, and today's episode threw my calculations out the window!

This is a chart I've been using to keep track of the episodes of S5 so far:

The average number of manga pages adapted per episode is 104,7.

The largest amount of pages adapted in an episode is 129 (episode 3).

The smallest amount of pages adapted in an episode is 81 (episode 7).

If the average remains 104-ish, this season should surpass current manga chapters by a couple of months and end around chapter 112, assuming that future chapters' lenght stays the same.

BUT, that's a lot of assumptions, and the average of pages as been going down in the last few chapters... So I have decided to calculate some possibilities!

The worst (realistic) case scenario is: Ep 8: ch 100-102 (87 pages) Ep 9: ch 103-105 (87 pages) Ep 10: 106-part of 108 (80/90 pages) Ep 11: part of 108-110 (80/90 pages)

The best (realistic) case scenario is: Ep 8: ch 100-103 (120 pages) Ep 9: ch 104-107 (123 pages) Ep 10: 108-110 (100/110 pages) Ep 11: ?????? at least 3 other chapters, taking us to chapter 113 (released next december if they don't do any more half-chapters)

Now, I imagine that the truth will be somewhere between these 2 scenarios... But it is reassuring that - unless they decide to REALLY stretch the upcoming episodes - it doesn't look like Season 5 risks finishing with a cliffanger after chapter 109!

...I hope!!

[kyouka-supremacy]

I wonder if Atsushi's actions will have consequences or not. Because so many stories with time travel/reset situations bring out consequences.....

That's some interesting food for thought. I guess there's no way of knowing now, but it may be that in future arcs the characters will have to deal with how deeply the fabric of their world has been torn and rearranged.

*walks in looking like i just got electrocuted* hi. 87, 92, 58, 21, 5, 78, 72

sits you down on a chair and gives you hot chocolate. hi.

87. does your writing style change depending on the genre you write?

i... don't know. but i do know that I have the habit of being unnecessarily being descriptive no matter what I'm writing.

92. first, second, or third person?

yes.

58. what is the last thing that a fic made you google when you were writing it?

okazaki medical prison :D

21. pick a writer to co-write a book with and tell us what you’d write about.

i've already written one with @feralshadowdemon so i'd either choose them or @just-a-dinosaur-i-guess . what we'll write about? none of us will know the answer to that question till we're done with the fic

5. have you ever made a playlist about something you were writing as an elaborate means to procrastinate when you could have been actually writing and if yes drop a link, son

i've made three, i think? i'll link two because they are bsd related

78. how do you choose where to end a chapter?

i check if the chapter had enough scenes to not feel incomplete but at the same time, not too packed. then I like to leave the readers hanging with a "whatthefuck was that" kinda scene

72. what do you do if a scene gets too serious?

i make it more serious/painful! :D

[nedemekchuuyagercekdegil]

WHAT CHAPTER 88??? THE BSD MANGA JUNPS FROM CHAPTER 87 TO 89 WHAT CHARTER ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HUN🙂

Atsushi learned to bake after chapter 88...

[plutosring]

"dont ask an akutagawa stan about chapter 87/88" and "dont ask a dazai stan about chapter 109" NO. dont ask about bsd at all its a saddening thing and we have a (non-parasocial) love/hate relationship with asagiri
