#i do enjoy the lense of atsushi disliking it because of his disdain of being treated like a pet or something lesser than human

atsushi's entire gag of going "i'm a tiger, not a cat" is fun to me outside of the obvious reason of "tigers are just big cats" because i enjoy seeing people interpret it in various ways in fics and other works. i think my favorite is the idea that he doesn't like being called a cat because it feels dehumanizing to be treated like an animal rather than a person; it feels real enough to fit his character. realistically though i know it's probably because atsushi is a teenager and just being a cat sounds lame as fuck to him
#bsd atsushi#atsushi and byakko interest me because their relationship is obviously Really Rocky at first#but after he comes to terms with accepting byakko and in turn himself he's like#wait. this is cool as hell actually. i can turn into a big ferocious tiger#i do enjoy the lense of atsushi disliking it because of his disdain of being treated like a pet or something lesser than human#in his eyes it's like.. at least a tiger can kill. a tiger can fight back and tear flesh and break bones. a cat can't do that#atsushi is such an interesting character to me because he has so many screws loose. he would do /anything/ to survive#but also i know in my heart it could very well be because tigers are cool as hell and he's proud of being a cool tiger
