Do you ever start thinking about the fact that Dazai literally made tiny snowmen based on his favourite people? The ones he secretly keeps in his heart?

Said people being:

- ANGO

- ODASAKU

- ATSUSHI

- CHUUYA

AND I BELIEVE IT'S BEAUTIFUL

[bungobble-my-balls]

OK correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like the main 'yin/yang' parallel with Atsushi and Akutagawa is not something like 'this one is bad but secretly has a good side and this one is good but secretly has a bad side'.

I feel like it's more about 'who they are at their core vs who they choose to be'.

At his core Akutagawa is kind and at his core Atsushi is not. But despite this Atsushi tries every day to make the kinder choices and I love him so much for it. He has to work so hard to be good.

He wants to be a bitch SO bad I know he does but he tries his best to help people and be nice (sometimes he fails but that's OK <3)

Atsushi doesn't always WANT to help people, a lot of the time he's selfish and scared, but he does help people anyway. He keeps helping people over and over again. There's still some selfish motivation to it, and his initial motivation for helping people was because the headmaster told him that's all he was worth, but overall he does care about the people he helps and it weighs on him if he fails to save them. And of course, as the series goes on he starts helping people more because he can rather than because he feels like he needs to.

In Akutagawa's case, he's still capable of being kind but his environment led him into being someone who chooses to hurt people. But he's always been a protector at heart. In the start he was bad compared to Atsushi because he was choosing to hurt people and keep the cycle of abuse going. Just like how Atsushi developed in why he saved people, Akutagawa starts to get redeemed when he chooses to not just act on his rage. Not only does he start to spare people, but he speaks more kindly to them (apologising to Higuchi and telling Kyouka he's proud of her). It all culminates into the moment he chooses to help Atsushi and sacrifice himself for him, going back to his core value of being a protector. Even when he's finally revived, he keeps this role in his new position as Aya's Knight.

I kind of see the streaks of white in Akutagawa and the streaks of black in Atsushi not as their 'hidden sides' but as their fundamental selfs. That's who they are at their core, and their main colours (black for Akutagawa and white for Atsushi) are how they're presented to everyone else and how they try to have people see them as.

never forgiving bones for fucking up this scene

[shininas-ideals]

Dive to Atsushi's heart!

Petition to give Atsushi his glasses back

[inamagicalhallucination]

sskk no powers au where they both go to the same cafe everyday to draw 

on atsushi’s side

he goes everyday, orders a drink and a new sweet to try and then he sits near a window to sketch

sometimes a friend will come along - but the cafe isn’t too loud but has a steady amount of people and to atsushi its a perfect place to sketch and get ideas for his work

he likes to sketch all sorts of ppl

the short hatted ginger who he’d seen when he’d gone out with dazai - who had been lovely to draw until he saw dazai scowled and stomped away much to atsushi’s confusion

the red headed girl who’d noticed him drawing and struck up a conversation with him and was now one of his dearest friends lucy

and him

he came to the cafe just as much as atsushi himself 

he’d sit in the corner and scribble away

always alone

he had long elegant fingers and pale skin, dark hair the lightened at the bottom that he’d pull back after sitting there for a while

he always wore black and kept to himself

he was the most beautiful person atsushi’s eyes had ever seen

and in no time atsushi’s sketch book was filled with him

/

when atsushi’s friend called him up about a gallery type event open to a wide range of invited artists he’d been excited

especially when all that the theme had been was a simple ‘beauty’ 

his cheeks were only a little red when his section was filled with the same muse

//

on akutagawa’s side

akutagawa finds drawing ppl to be rather dull

humans can be intriguing but individually? akutagawa’s art focuses on the world - landscapes - groups of humans travelling - never one single person

akutagawa comes to the cafe after a long week of not being able to find anything intriguing enough

cafe’s are relatively crowded so he thinks he can sketch for a while until something hits him

when he sees him 

the sunlight from the window illuminating white hair, long lashes brushing his cheeks as he looked down at whatever was in front of him, pink lips curled into a small genuine smile

when the boy looked up, potentially becuz he felt akutagawa’s staring, akutagawa saw his eyes, purple and gold

akutagawa ryuunosuke was a smitten man

and before he knew it, he was coming back to the cafe every day hoping to catch a glimpse of the man, hsi pencil tracing the shapes of him over and over in his sketchbook

akutagawa had been wrong

this one person was the most breathtaking view, nothing else in the world could ever compare

objectively of course

/

akutagawa’s friends notice his newfound muse as they help him take out the pieces he’s selected for his section in the gallery of his sister’s friend’s friend 

akutagawa thinks its just becuz they know him so well - not all his works featured the boy’s face - though all were inspired by him

no one else would notice

well

other than the white haired boy standing in front of his work, wide eyed, red cheeked, and mouth agape

akutagawa would be embarrassed if he himself hadn’t just seen the white haired boy- atsushi nakajima’s - work himself 

//

so pretty much artist atsushi draws cute cafe boy and ends up putting cute cafe boy inspired pieces in a gallery and akutagawa draws his own cute cafe boy and puts them in the same event and boom they’re drawing each other so now they’re in the middle of the gallery doing that one spider man meme

[giggly-squiggily]

raaahhh candy hearts event!! may i pls request ler dazai and lee atsushi (platonic, i see them as brothers) with “💙: i haven’t even touched you yet”? thank youuuu!

*cartwheels over to you* MYST! :D I love this so much ajrjajreajkrjkaejr I've gotcha covered, friend! :D

Adore: "I haven't even touched you yet!"

“Atsushi.”

The younger man couldn’t respond. His back was against the wall, hands raised as he tried to sink back further into the cool material behind him. The longer Dazai stared down at him, the worst his giggle fits got.

“Atsushi.” He said again, earning a squeaky laugh from the weretiger. “I haven’t even touched you yet.”

“I-I knhoohohw!” The shorter man tried to catch his breath, but even the slightest glace at Dazai’s smiling face made him choke. “Lohoohohk away!”

“Nope. I don’t want to.”

Atsushi was about to retort with something snippy when Dazai attacked, latching onto his waist with ten tickly fingers. “AH! Ahehahahhhahaha, wahahhahait, whahahhahait hohoohohohld ohohoohohon! I whahahhahsn’t reahhahahhady!”

A brief pause, Dazai grinning at him. “Are you ready now?”

Atsushi gasped, breathless. Then he nodded. “Yes-AH!” Those fingers came back quickly. “Wahhahait wahhahahait!”

“Tch, can’t decide? Are you ready or are you not?” Dazai mock rolled his eyes as he paused once more, fighting down a giggle at Atsushi’s doubled over state. “Ready?”

“Hohohld on..hohohohld oohohon..” With a final breath, he nodded. “I’m re-EHEHEHEHEH!”

“Whatcha say? I couldn’t hear you.” Dazai snickered as he moved targets, one hand clawing at Atsushi’s belly while the other squeezed along the base of his ribs. “Are you ready yet? Huh? Are you?”

“Ahehahahahhahah! Dahahahhahazahahahahai!” Atsushi tried grabbing his wrists, pushed at his shoulders, kicked him- nothing could ward off the mischievous man before him!

Granted- he wasn’t trying all that hard, but still!

“Aww, Atsushi! Where you going?” Dazai cooed at him, following the red faced weretiger down as he kept up his playful assault. “You can’t run away after telling me to wait so much! Tickle tickle tickle tickle~”

“And just like that, nothing is done.” Kunikida closed his notebook when he couldn’t ignore the pair’s giggle fits any longer. “Atsushi, go for the neck. He’s-”

“AH! AHEHAHHA AHHTHUSHI!”

“Oh, good- you found it.”

Send me a candy heart and I'll write a dabble for it!

[lady-joker]

fyodor rat-toevsky propositioning atsushi and then promptly being disgusted with him and almost killing him just for atsushi's situationship to show up as a literal knight in shining armour JUST FOR HIM NOT REMEMBER ATSUSHI wasn't on my 2024 bingo list but here we are.

THE GIRL WAS TOO STUNNED TO SPEAK...

[transylvanilla]

my first contribution to the bsd fandom

[bungoautismspectrum]

The pure, unfiltered agony I feel when I hear a semi-sad to sad or bittersweet song I associate with sskk is immeasurable.

[shig4dabi]

I'm solely feeding into my sskk insanity here, but Atsushi's reaction is making me go crazy

Akutagawa still has full faith and trust that they're going to win and bring Fukuchi [potentially Fukuchi, I'm not like 10000% sure if it was confirmed yk] down together this time. He still has FULL faith and trust in his and Atsushi's abilities, and in turn, Atsushi himself, and seeing him respond with some fond ass smile upon that realization is so insane of them

[kyouka-supremacy]

Bsd but everyone speaks their native language part 2 (part 1) (part 3)

[inamagicalhallucination]

thinking of 8 yrs old dazai and his best friend 4 yrs old atsushi who he meets when he sneaks into the garden of the orphanage but eventually due to reasons they cant meet anymore and dazai can no longer recall his face but just how much he loved him and obviously atsushi has the faintest memories at best so
