"Fear death. Fear slaughter."

[starlightshadowsworld]

Theory:

In Fifteen Rimbaud describes Arahabaki’s appearance as a quadrupedal black beast with fur, a tail and eyes like fire and black smoke.

Which low key kinda sounds like a combination of Atsushi and Akutagawa’s abilities.

Taking that into account I wonder if that’s another reason Dazai had to partner them together.

Because they needed a greater power at play for what’s to come and well the strongest ability user he knows is Chuuya.

We can’t remake Arahabaki but we can come close. In a way that they can make each other stronger in a way Soukoku can’t do.

Have me runnin' on and on

Dead apple but everyone is still in their pajamas

I think it would be funny if everyone collectively just didnt care to change in to their work clothes for the plot of dead apple cause imagine Chuuya fighting that big ass dragon still in his dog themed pajama pants 🐶

headcanon atsushi’s ability the tiger does not know what to do when it likes someone

like in general atsushi is bad with knowing what to do with the ppl he likes and showing affection -- like he tries to mimic others but he himself is still working on something that feels natural if that makes sense

but the tiger

the tiger is far worse becuz the only positive thing it can associate with positive emotions is food so every time it gets closer to the full moon the tiger starts whispering in the back of his mind that he should eat dazai and kunikida

then kyouka and junichiro

and ranpo and yosano and fukuzawa and kenji and naomi and haruno

at first atsushi panics (naturally) worries he’s a cannibal, thinks the tiger hates the agency, panics more, especially after dead apple when he and the tiger gained an understanding of each other and he realized that the tiger was protecting him so he’s like why r u trying to kill the agency members

but gradually he realizes that actually the tiger just doesn’t know how to deal with positive emotions and yeah

anyway:

atsushi: dazai-san is so nice to me :)

the tiger: yeah :)

the tiger: we should eat him

atsushi: NO????

//

kunikida, patting atsushi’s head: good job on ur report atsushi

the tiger: use his arm against him and eat him

kunikida: atsushi u look weird are u feeling unwell

atsushi: hahaha dont worry about no weird thoughts here hahahaha

//

atsushi, literally just working:

the tiger: the small candy one eats a lot of sugar. he would taste sweet. Eat him.

atsushi: NO??????????????

ranpo, looking up: i’ve actually always wondered what i would taste like-

//

and so on

is this incredibly dumb? yes but is it also funny, yes

atsushi realizes he likes akutagawa because at some point when he spots him the tiger immediately starts wondering what he’d taste like

atsushi, sees akutagawa: oh there’s that basta-

the tiger: i bet he’d taste really nice

atsushi:

atsushi: oh 

atsushi: oh no

//

akutagawa: how did you figure out you liked me?

atsushi: i couldn’t stop thinking about what you’d taste like

akutagawa, blushing: oh-

atsushi: yeah it was insane how much the tiger wanted to kill and eat u

akutagawa, slightly confused and horrified: oh-

//

eventually as atsushi learns to deal with his feelings so does the tiger but unfortunately it’s still an animal so its more like

atsushi: dazai’s so nice :)

the tiger: yeah :)

the tiger: lets hunt a deer for him 

atsushi: no??????????????

//

kunikida, petting atsushi’s hair: good job on the job atsushi

atsushi, not thinking about what he’s saying: kunikida i like u so much should i kill a bear for u?

kunikida, slightly confused, slightly flattered: uhh no???????

//

atsushi, at the store: lemme just get something for kyouka-

the tiger: we shall hunt until we find something suitabl-

atsushi: no.

//

atsushi: im sorry i transformed last night, snuck out of ur place, hunted down a goose, broke back in, left it in the living room table, and then climbed on top of u, still a tiger, and then fell asleep and only transformed back now, after u had to use rashomon to get tiger me off u 

akutagawa, dead tired: yeah i don’t know what the appropriate response is but ur cleaning the bloo-

akutagawa: wait wtf do u mean theres a dead goose in the living room

atsushi: do u not like goose :(

akutagawa: that is NOT the issue here

//

yeah

It is interesting how Beast Shin Soukoku don’t have the same deep seated hated that Bsd Shin Soukoku do.

Beast Akutagawa is angry at Beast Dazai and he directs that anger right at him. In his eyes Beast Atsushi is just another obstacle to reach him.

Even when they do eventually fight it’s Beast Dazai that he’s pissed at.

And himself.

While in the case of Bsd Akutagawa all of the anger and resentment he feels towards Bsd Dazai is directed at Bsd Atsushi.

And my little headcanon is that Beast Dazai didn’t plan for that and that’s why he had Beast Atsushi be the one to break the news about Beast Gin to Beast Akutagawa..

He did say it was part of his plan to make them both fight each other so that’s I’m going with.

It is also kinda funny because it does imply that the more they spend time with each other the more angrier Beast Akutagawa is gonna get on Beast Atsushi’s behalf.

He already hates Beast Dazai he doesn’t need more reasons too.

And yet.

And yet he’s gonna get more.

Bsd Shin Soukoku are navigating their complex relationship of caring and despising each other,

And Beast Shin Soukoku are both trying to figure out who they are and their plsces in this world tigether.

Also Beast Akutagawa wanting to figure out how to resurrect Beast Dazai to kill him himself.

[the-alien-ghost]

i haven't seen anyone say this so

if this is gonna happen immediately after atsushi comes back from wherever he is it would be the first time he sees akutagawa after he remembered everything.

AND

Akutagawa remembered atsushi after he "died"

SO IN OTHER WORDS, as far as atsushi knows, akutagawa still doesn't remember him.

Akutagawa is LITERALLY telling him that he remembers without actually saying it isn't he
