Been thinking about Akutagawa siblings with the children in the slums and Akutagawa is very, very sick to the point where Gin fears for his life. It's the dead of winter and their shelter is barely adequate protection. They're lucky they can keep a fire going. He is not the first child she's known to die this way, where they live. Gin sitting with him all night and refusing to sleep and the other kids take turns keeping her company. Akutagawa is almost completely unconscious the whole time, and any time he is awake, he's unresponsive but doesn't take his eyes off of her. His fever won't break. They don't have a thermometer but Gin knows it's really bad because he can hardly move. The ones closer to Akutagawa's age are better at easing her mind and assuring her that of anyone can get through this, it's him, but of course they're all scared because Akutagawa is their pillar and their only source of protection 💔 there's at least an hour in the night where all Gin can do is cry, because sure, he's her protection too, but he's everything to her 💔💔

Gin finally falls asleep against her will when the sun rises and the older kids make sure no one wakes her once Akutagawa finally wakes up and seems to be doing a little better. Once Gin is awake and sees him sitting up she hugs him so tight that after a while he has to very politely ask her to let go because she's hurting him lol💔💖💖

Right now is such a great time to be a bsd fan. I feel like we're currently getting everything I've been wanting and more:

Sskk are facing a conflict that only they can handle. Not skk, not Ranpo and the ADA. Only Atsushi and Akutagawa can pull off a battle against Amenogozen

A ton of information about Atsushi's role, abilities as the bookmark, and even his hallucinations

Atsushi gaining a better understanding of Akutagawa through not only finding out about his past but witnessing his memories of it from his perspective

Dazai-Headmaster parallels for daaaays

Akutagawa has not coughed once

This is all the culmination of so much. Sskk will truly come out of this stronger than ever and I am so so hyped for it

I think Gin's personality and her interactions with Akutagawa are mostly up to interpretation because we see her speak a total of 2 times in the main series and in Beast she's a totally different person but I really love Mayoi's (the BSD gacha game) interpretation 😭 I wanted to share some of the side story chat logs between them because I think if you don't play the game you don't get to see it!! it's cute that she's really just slightly more socially aware and emotionally available than he is (and of course she's not nearly as mean as he is but he never ever extends that behavior to her) but other than that they really act similar. He's protective over her and she worries about his health and I just love them so much

The entire logs are available here!

do you guys ever think about how dazai is the only person who actually understands akutagawa and all he ever does is play off of it and traumatize him over and over again even after leaving the pm. and of course akutagawa takes it personally because dazai's good to atsushi (other than that one time he slapped him but akutagawa doesn't know about that) and dazai's good to kyouka. so yeah of course he sees it as a reflection of himself and his own worth because why was he the only person dazai mentored that he abused? anyway do you guys ever think about that

Sebastian's Confidence in Ciel's Core Strength

He's insane for standing on that ledge with Ciel just sitting on his arm. Imagine if Ciel tipped over backwards. Even if Sebastian caught him, it wouldn't be very dignified. Doesn't he know you have to support the baby's head?

After reading the emerald witch arc, I feel so bad for sieglinde, like she didn't know😭

Day 3- Mermaid Scale/ Red string of fate

More and more, I feel like Hanako is the real damsel in distress in this story..
