Happy Birthday Atsushi!! :D

[theblackfangedhellhound]

Ngl Atsushi loving Akutagawa (whether platonically or romantically) makes his character's morals questionable.

Because it's not the same as him saving or liking Kyouka, who's a kid. Or even Lucy, who wasnt portrayed to be that morally corrupt as Akutagawa.

And it's not the same as Chuuya and Dazai loving each other; both are portrayed to be morally questionable or corrupt characters from the start.

Whereas Atsushi is more of a 'hero' kind of character, and him liking/loving someone like Akutagawa changes his character's morals and moral ground standing.

Atsushi may be a character who's "on the side of good/the light" (such as Kyouka, Dazai, Kunikida, etc), but he's very different from all of them

Atsushi's hallucinations of Dazai (which I always call Dazaillucination lmao) were revealed to be the Headmaster, and not only does that speak about how Atsushi needed to subconsciously disguise the Headmaster as Dazai to trust his information (even though the information came from neither of them and actually just from inside Atsushi himself), but it also shows the parallel between the Headmaster and Dazai, and Atsushi and Akutagawa

Atsushi most likely does not trust Dazai fully now after chapter 122. Atsushi has always trusted Dazai and looked up to him, because he was always a good mentor to Atsushi (this is really shown in 55 Minutes). Atsushi thinks very highly of Dazai, because he's never known Dazai's dark side

But now he's seen it, per chapter 122, and he's also seen Akutagawa's past, and his wounds. Atsushi 100% understands Akutagawa now, in a different way

Before 122, Atsushi and Akutagawa understood each other wordlessly, in their fight against Ivan they didn't even need to communicate their plans verbally. They've always been intertwined, and Atsushi truly cares about Akutagawa and vice versa, because as people, despite their pasts, they are similar (yet opposites) and feel connected

And now Atsushi understands Akutagawa more deeply, seeing his past, and knowing what fully led Akutagawa to where he is now. They're more similar than Atsushi even realized until now

Atsushi cares about Akutagawa. There is really no doubting that Atsushi wants Akutagawa to live and wants his presence by his side, imo he loves Akutagawa. But Dazai hurt Akutagawa in many more ways than one, and Akutagawa (to Atsushi's knowledge) is still greatly effected by every bit of damage Dazai has done. Atsushi knew Dazai was Akutagawa's old mentor, but he never knew of the extremes and the major abuse that was inflicted on Akutagawa until now

Atsushi's character towards Dazai will probably become less trusting, and he may even start to hate Dazai, because of his feelings for Akutagawa

Atsushi loving a character like Akutagawa does truly spark moral conflict, more so than any other characters he's cared about (as the anon ask has said). It's obvious Atsushi will go to far lengths to save and protect Akutagawa, although Akutagawa is rooted so deeply in the dark

One thing is, I think Atsushi's love for Akutagawa will 100% grow when he learns that Akutagawa loves him back. Atsushi will love and feel loved back, and that will strengthen their bond to the point where they're inseparable, and thinking about how Atsushi's character will develop due to that is so interesting

There's lots of speculation on how the further Akutagawa goes into the light, the further Atsushi goes into the darkness. Someone said that Atsushi might fall so far that Akutagawa will have to teach him the lessons Atsushi had taught him in the beginning, and that theory could very well become true

I don't know how many of his morals would change just from loving Akutagawa, but I think he will definitely become more lax with the line between good and evil. I love how Asagiri makes the characters clash and how he builds Sskk's relationship together, and seeing how Atsushi's character grows from his new relationship standing with Akutagawa will be very interesting

They're definitely devoted to each other, and Akutagawa will most likely only grow more strongly attached to Atsushi (and vice versa). They've both died for each other, and both have had to live in a world without each other, which made both of them have to suffer through that large loss, and I think that was a very big development for both of them

Atsushi may have a point in this arc (or another) where he does things that completely go against his current morals just to save or protect Akutagawa, which would really change things. Because while Akutagawa is devoted to Atsushi, he is already covered in sin. Atsushi is technically still living on the side of the light, and I wonder if he'll ever be pushed to do something he never normally would

The thing is, I do not think Akutagawa himself at all will or would make Atsushi a worse person. I think Atsushi's love for Akutagawa would just have the power to make him cross the line, and take desperate measures, because their relationship is much, much different from anything either of them have experienced

Also, regarding the Port Mafia taking an Agency member for themselves in the truce deal, I think if they do pick Atsushi, I wonder if he might not even try to refuse because Akutagawa lies on the Mafia's side. That would really show how strong their relationship has developed if it does happen like that

(Also this post [which ended up so long 😭💀] is a really just my opinions and perspective on how Atsushi's morals/actions may change due to loving Akutagawa, so yeah lol)

(And on a side note, I can not see their relationship as platonic atp lmaoo. The undertones of their actions and words for each other are too romantic, and honestly they're such soulmates and would work together perfectly as a romantic couple. I know it's not officially canon, but I just personally ship it and think they do deserve to be canon)

— "Because I needed both of your help," declared Dazai. "I needed the singularity created when both of your skills merge, and I needed that certain something that goes beyond power— something that only comes to life when your souls meet. But in order to do that, I needed to have you fight. I needed you two to face death to get you to understand each other."

[theblackfangedhellhound]

Anything Dazai has ever convinced Akutagawa to help in has all been because of Atsushi’s involvement.

Akutagawa went to the Moby Dick because information was leaked Atsushi would be there. Akutagawa refused to help in the DOA arc and only agreed to become Dazai’s spy.

Because of Atsushi.

Akutagawa was the informant Dazai contacted when the Headmaster died. So that Atsushi could know the truth and then stated he wouldn’t kill hunt him on this occasion.

Akutagawa rendered himself pretty much defenceless because he trusted Atsushi with his ability.

Akutagawa literally chooses to save Atsushi’s life over killing Fukuchi. He chooses Atsushi’s life over possibly getting Dazai’s approval.

Even there first meeting is because of Atsushi’s bounty.

Because Akutagawa doesn’t care about Dazai. He hates that he wants his approval.

But he genuinely cares about and wants Atsushi’s.

He kept the promise.

He kept the promise because Atsushi wants to teach him something. He kept the promise even when he was mind controlled.

Because that’s how much Atsushi means to him.

Anytime Akutagawa’s dropped everything to help may seem like it’s for Dazai but it’s always been for Atsushi.

Chat I got this while taking a quiz (I typed "I LOVE ATSUSHIII (NOT THE FUCKIN FANFIC) )

[theblackfangedhellhound]

Basically how I view shin soukoku based off this base I found on Pinterest:

(purple is atsushi. Red is akutagawa.)

POV: Bungo Stray Dogs Fans After Chapter 120:

[theblackfangedhellhound]

Do you guys think that swansea thought of his kids when he had to kill daisuke? Like, Swansea just imagining his children in the same situation, as he's forced to kill daisuke, to put him out of his misery.

"all better now."

**Quietly screenshots atsushi's part**

Something i thought about, atsushi may be able to regenerate himself but def not his clothing 😭

[theblackfangedhellhound]

Sooo....

Chat, how we feeling bout the latest bsd chapter? 😃

[Spoiler!! If you squint really hard you can see me in the background of the newest chapter, sobbing my eyes out while I hold my atsushi plushie! 😃]

[theblackfangedhellhound]

**sigh* I needs to admit this...

I can only ship skk if kunikida is involved 🙁

Kunichuu? Hell yeah! KUNIZAI? FUCK YEhhhh!!! Kunchuzai? YESS!!?

Soukoku? Sry bud, no thx! (I do however respect this ship and understand why people ship them, personally the ship just isn't for me.)

[theblackfangedhellhound]

This is very uncanon but funny

I love shipping Fukumori BUT when it's the "mini presidents trio" (Elise, Dazai, and Ranpo)

[I gave that trio that name because dazai was once the demon prodigy, Elise is very close to Mori being his ability, and Ranpo is very close to fukuzawa]

But I love just imagining the mini presidents pulling out mori's most embarrassing moments in front of fukuzawa, making Mori pale in embarrassment. And fukuzawa, is secretly entertained whenever it happens.

Like, for example!

\Mori and Fukuzawa are currently having a meeting, like usual, except the mini presidents had something up their sleeves, and begin humming a very cringy heartbreak song. Fukuzawa is slightly confused by it but pays no mind to it. Meanwhile Mori immediately recognized that song, and pales in embarrassment while trying to keep a cool expression./

[I like imagining that after fukuzawa and Mori's falling out, Mori acted like it was a breakup, and went through a whole emo phase. and Elise watched all of it and recorded all of it, and teases Mori about it to this day.]

BRO THIS FANFIC WAS AMAZING, AND PART TWO WAS A CHEFS KISS! I HAVE IT IN MY BOOKMARKS, I LOVE IT!!!

Fandom: Bungo Stray Dogs

Title: oh, dear diary (i met a boy)

Writer: littencloud9

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/54266254

Status: Complete

Main Characters: Chuuya, Kunikida

Description: “Chuuya-san? Are you feeling alright?”

“I said it’s just Chuuya, dimwit!” he snaps, gritting his teeth. He doesn’t really succeed, considering his fangs that get in the way. Chuuya turns away, huffing loudly. “You broke Agency losers couldn’t repay me anyway.”

He all but stomps off, still holding Sigma effortlessly in his arms, and Kunikida watches him go with something akin to glee in his eyes.

-

or, after the battle, kunikida gains himself a new work partner, his family back, a new ideal, and a sugar daddy. not in that particular order.

[theblackfangedhellhound]

And then afterwards when akutagawa finally does remember atsushi, it would be to late, atsushi would've most likely moved on.

Basically:

Akutagawa: Atsushi! I finally remember!

Atsushi: Hm? Who are you?

(atsushi made himself forget akutagawa for his own sake, either that or atsushi will act like he doesn't remember akutagawa)

The only way this could get worse is if Akutagawa did genuinely forget Atsushi. But he remembers everyone else.

He gets a call from Mori and responds as usual. He hears Fyodor mention Dazai and glares at him for the disrespect.

Akutagawa knows who everyone else in his life is except for Atsushi who he looks at like a stranger. And Atsushi wonders maybe it’s best he forgot.

It’s not like he was ever worth remembering.

**sighs as I cry into my pillow while going to AO3 for more kunizai**

Kunikidazai headcannon ramble

(Mostly written back in January of this year)

My ramblings will be based off what I've seen from the anime. But from season 1-3. So my bad if I miss anything to factor in. And mostly just for now me rambling about how they got together.

CW: Very minor mention of suicide

I think the idea of a punctual guy who is just normal getting paired up romantically with a playful yet chaotic and tactical character is funny to me and I'm all for it to be honest.

I like to think starting out Kunikida didn't really see Dazai more than just a coworker. And then kinda didn't like him once Dazai started messing with him. So he started kinda hating his guts sometimes because when it comes to just doing the work, Kunikida respects Dazai because he knows Dazai will actually do his job.

Dazai meanwhile had some interest in Kunikida, but more so with teasing him a lot once he noticed that Kunikida was the partially gullible type. And he enjoys Kunikida's reactions whenever Kunikida realizes that Dazai gave him misinformation or tries to mess with his schedule.

Dazai did at some point date Chuuya when he used to be in the Port Mafia. But he obviously broke up with him around the time he left Port Mafia.

So when Dazai first met Kunikida, he felt a similar energy that Kunikida shares with Chuuya. Dazai definitely has a type, and it's people he can get away teasing and still be yelled at.

Kunikida is more of a bi icon and he does have 58 criterias for a spouse. But he says woman because he doesn't wanna out himself just yet. And even though he says they're criterias, he doesn't actually want all those criterias met. Because he's still unsure of if he should have a partner who he'd risk having them worry a lot for him since being in the Armed Detective Agency is a dangerous job. So he uses the 58 criterias as an excuse to reject people who either make the attempt to ask him, or to stop himself from pursuing someone.

Dazai once took a peek at Kunikida's notebook and flipped through the 58 criterias page on Kunikida's "ideal woman" and noticed that it wasn't titled 'Ideal Woman', it was titled 'Ideal Partner'. Which Dazai found interesting on a more gender neutral use to refer to someone instead of a gendered one like he kept verbally saying. And the more he looked at the criterias, the more he noticed that a good amount of the stuff listed, were not at all linked to a specific gender or anything that he'd expect a man like Kunikida would say he'd want in a woman.

It wouldn't take long for Dazai to deduce that Kunikida may also be interested in other genders besides women. He also took into account that a lot of criterias written down seemed too unrealistic for one person to have. So Dazai was convinced this was because Kunikida was not allowing himself to be in a relationship.

After Dazai got a good scolding from Kunikida after getting his notebook back, Dazai decided that instead of simply teasing Kunikida about his 'unrealistic preferences' he would wanna see what is actually Kunikida's type if it were a man. And what better way to start than with himself. Dazai did think Kunikida was handsome and didn't mind the idea of dating Kunikida. Although he'd not push it too hard if Kunikida didn't reciprocate.

Kunikida would be pissed off that Dazai looked in his notebook long enough to have read something. And was concerned that Dazai might've actually found out that he wasn't exactly straight. Kunikida knows that Dazai is no stranger to blackmail. And it would be a pain in his ass if Dazai used it against him.

Kunikida wasn't concerned about some people in the Armed Detective Agency finding out, but he also doesn't want someone else to out him because it's neither their right nor business to do so. He'd keep an eye on Dazai and see if there's an attempt. But nothing really happens at first.

At first.

Eventually Dazai seems playful or teasing towards Kunikida. And the poor man doesn't get why Dazai is being more annoying than usual.

Whenever Kunikida gets paired up with Dazai for a mission, Dazai would do some slight flirting banter and Kunikida either doesn't pick up on it or is flustered by it because he's not used to being flirted on, especially not by a man.

Kunikida does believe that Dazai is conventionally handsome but he didn't have a crush on him. So when Dazai started flirting towards him, he wasn't sure how to feel because on one hand, he doesn't think co workers should be flirting on the job. But at the same time, he didn't mind it.

It would be a blessing and a curse that he tells Dazai to only do that outside of missions.

Because now Dazai is flirting towards Kunikida discreetly.

It starts with simple sticky notes being placed at his desk. Some of the official workers start teasing that Kunikida has a secret admirer and it leads to some light gossiping on wondering who it could be.

Atsushi would ask Kunikida if he has any idea on who it could be. Kunikida does have a good idea on knowing that it's Dazai given how he's been behaving lately and isn't even trying to hide it. Yet at the same time Dazai is doing it in ways where he'd be the only one to notice. However, Kunikida only tells Atsushi that it is someone he knows. This only made the office workers more interested.

The office workers would attempt to bribe Ranpo with sweets to tell them who it could be. Fukuzawa catches wind of this and asks Ranpo to not say who it is since it's not their business to know. Fukuzawa is basically Ranpo's dad so he listens and doesn't say who wrote that love note to Kunikida. Yes, he still takes the sweets.

Ranpo would at this point watch Dazai and Kunikida's interactions from a distance. But he wouldn't do much. At most he'd just say, "Ya seeing this Yosano?" or "Atsushi, take my place for this case, there's a show I'd rather watch".

It takes a bit for Atsushi to figure out Dazai's attraction to Kunikida. Dazai casually tells Atsushi that he's unsure if he'd want to commit double suicide with Kunikida since he knows it would go against Kunikida's ideals.

Dazai would unintentionally developed more proper feelings for Kunikida and start feeling inadequate in the sense that he wants the opposite of what Kunikida's ideals are.

This causes Dazai to feel a bit down but makes attempts to hide it.

Leading Kunikida to pick up on this and bites the bullet to ask Dazai if he's okay since this feels different from his normal antics.

Dazai's chest feels tighter hearing that.

He says nothing but desperately hugs Kunikida. The blonde man is taken back by this however he decides to just confront the brunette in front of him.

Kunikida is confused what's gotten into Dazai. He'll admit, he did think the hug felt nice, and he could tell the hug is sincere.

Kunikida: May you please tell me afterwards what's wrong?

Dazai burrows his face in Kunikida's shoulder

Dazai: Some other time. I just wanna be like this for a bit longer.

They both stood there a bit longer in silence.

The blonde could feel a slight tremble from the brunette. He felt that it was correct to hold the other slightly tighter. He tried gingerly brushing his fingers' through the brunette's locks, in an attempt to calm him down.

More additional silence.

Dazai shifts himself briefly where he looks directly into Kunikida's eyes.

Dazai places his head on Kunikida's chest, hearing his heartbeat.

The brunette closes his eyes and slowly exhales.

Dazai pulls away and gives Kunikida a genuine smile and walks away before Kunikida could say anything.

This felt different from the Dazai he's some to know.

He's unsure if the world is ending or if he got a small glimpse at Dazai's feelings. But he wants to understand what's going on.

The following day the blonde asks Atsushi if Dazai has said or done anything off.

Atsushi didn't see much different from Dazai.

It takes a moment for the silvered haired young man to recall.

Atsushi: He might've mentioned something about your ideals? I'm not sure what he meant at the time.

Kunikida: My ideals? He's never seemed to care about them.

The blonde man started to think.

Meanwhile in the distance Ranpo is witnessing his new soap opera. The events unfolding in front of him-

Kunikida checked the sticky notes that he put into a stack and compared writings from both Dazai's unfinished paperwork and those sticky notes. Yes, they seemed to be a match.

The blonde took a moment to think until it hit him.

...Did Dazai...? Like him that way...?

The thought made his cheeks lightly flush.

Sure, he thought Dazai was conveniently attractive. But he never at that point felt much for the guy in the romantic department.

Looking back at that moment where Dazai hugged him felt nice. It gave him slight butterflies in his stomach as he's trying to recall.

Kunikida texts Dazai to meet him at the park in about 30 minutes. Dazai replies as his usual goofy self. Something Kunikida doesn't argue with in that moment, seeing as how Dazai seems to be avoiding his feelings.

Kunikida grabs his notebook for his ideal woman and heads off to the park.

Atsushi noticed and was about to stop him until Ranpo latched onto him, ordering him to get him some snacks at a nearby store.

Kunikida sits at a park bench and thinks things over several times. Each time made him nervous.

His thoughts would get interrupted when Dazai sits down next to him.

Dazai: My, this is the first time you ask me to hang out.

Kunikida: I wanted to talk to you about something.

Dazai plays dumb and cocks his head slightly to the side.

Dazai: Hm? About what.

Kunikida: How you've been acting recently. Your feelings.

Dazai's face falls to a frown.

Dazai: You have quiet the imagination Kunikida. Leave that to only me and the other kids.

Kunikida scoffed at that last part.

Kunikida: I think we both know what you're talking about.

Kunikida turns his gaze to Dazai and asks sincerely

Kunikida: Do you... Have romantic feelings for me?

Dazai: ...

Kunikida tries studying Dazai's body language. Noting that Dazai is somewhat playing with his hands.

Kunikida: Your handwriting matches the ones on those sticky notes and before that, you even teased me about my ideal woman. Something as of recent bothered you somehow.

Dazai: Oh wow you didn't pull anything back. Something I'd expect from you.

Kunikida: Please answer-

Dazai: So what if it's true? What then?

Kunikida: I'm not sure either.

Dazai: Then I don't feel like answering.

Kunikida: Huh?!

Kunikida was confused what Dazai was trying to pull here. The blonde haired man was trying to clear things up for the two of them, but Dazai doesn't seem to wanna clarify?

Kunikida: That hug the other day... I felt the Dazai that doesn't easily show himself to anyone. Now tell me whats wrong.

Dazai: ...

Dazai: ...

Dazai: ...

Kunikida got frustrated and cupped Dazai's face.

Kunikida: Back there, I felt you tremble. I felt you hesitate on something. That isn't normally like you. And your behavior has been off more so than usual. Please, just tell me.

Dazai takes a moment to examine the blonde.

There was silence between the both of them until Dazai broke that silence.

Dazai: Why should I let myself fall in love with someone who wants to live?

Dazai's face falls to frustration with himself

Dazai: Why bother when we're both too different?

Kunikida: So you're admitting it?

Dazai: ...

Kunikida: I think I understand now.

Kunikida holds Dazai's hand gently. He feels he's vaguely understanding Dazai.

Kunikida: It's okay to want to choose life.

Dazai looked into Kunikida's eyes.

Kunikida: This book, is just a fantasy. I don't expect for such a person exist, if there was, then I must be dreaming.

Kunikida pauses.

Kunikida: You know, it's okay to be different from the person you like.

Dazai's heart ached. Tears threatened to fall.

Dazai: I class to hard-

Kunikida: What does your heart want?

Dazai: ...

Dazai: ...

Kunikida sighs: Here's what mine wants.

The blonde holds up Dazai's hand and gently places his lips on Dazai's knuckles.

Dazai's eyes widen. Tears start pouring from his face.

Kunikida: I... I love you.

The blonde used his thumb to wipe away Dazai's tears.

Dazai: Is it really okay for me to feel this way?

Kunikida: Of course.

Dazai smiles.

He proceeds to mimic Kunikida and held up the blonde's hand. And gently kissed Kunikida's hand.

Dazai: I love you too.
