[kunikida-spotted]

hi hi!! since you like kunikida, i feel like you’re the right person to ask :D

how do you think kunikida would act/show care for people around him? the ada for example.

i’m writing a fic about how kunikida silently shows his care for the agency, but i tend to struggle with characterisation so i need your thoughts. because he obviously cares for the ada members a lot, but i don’t know how to portray it in a way that’s not too “soft” or “goody-two shoes” while still making it clear that he does love these people.

sorry if this is out of the blue lol :’) ty for your time!!

ACKKK THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!

I love analyzing characters 😼

this is going to be a long one. I do not apologize because I love kunikida

also tumblr ate this ask so I found this in my notifs and not my ask box

(also I want the fic please please please I want to read it please)

Some things are canon (first few) others aren't.

We already have seen a few ways he shows care for members!!

Dazai;

-Calling daily. It's in his schedule to call Dazai. And to make sure he's coming into work.

-Telling Dazai he can always vent if he needs to.

-"You were so talented. I couldn't have asked for a better partner."

-Buys Dazai food. Also Kunikida makes food for Dazai. (not canon but hey. he would and you know it)

-They banter a lot, but we still know Kunikida cares.

-Kunikida listens to Dazai (Dazai rambles a lot)

-Also hugs. A lot of hugs. Like he just gives him hugs. Kunikida will hold Dazai and rock him, idc what anyone says.

Atsushi; (I've realized this is all canon info and not personal headcanons)

-Praise. He does respect Atsushi, especially after he saved Kyoka. (After saving Kyoka, he praised him by saying 'good job')

-Yes he gives Atsushi lectures and reminders.

-Kunikida is proud of everything Atsushi has done. He compliments Atsushi's work (Kunikida compliments everyone for their work btw)

-Kunikida trains Atsushi!!

-Also let's not forget the hug they shared during the reunion.

Ranpo; (this is also all canon..)

-Kunikida praises Ranpo often. Like really often.

-"We'll be counting on you, Ranpo-san."

-"The ideal detective— no, in fact, the ideal ability user."

-Even after learning about Ranpo not being gifted, he still acts like Ranpo is.

-They do have a close bond. Ranpo has told Kunikida that he's the strongest. Ranpo also supports Kunikida, and tells him to stay calm and act like Fukuzawa during the cannibalism arc. (This is more about Ranpo, but still it shows they're close enough to say this stuff to each other)

Yosano;

-Respect! He does respect Yosano just like the other members.

-He surrendered his own life for Yosano's. This was because of the Hunting Dogs. (this goes along with respect)

-He knows Yosano's schedule. Take that as you will.

-Kunikida fully believes that Yosano can always help him no matter the injury. He doesn't care if he's injured because he knows Yosano can help him.

-Because of that one, I'd believe that he'd do a lot for Yosano as thanks. Gift giving, hugs, whatever Yosano is comfortable with.

Kyoka;

-Kunikida is very kind towards Kyoka. He opens up to her after her entrance exam. Which we can see the differences in the anime and manga.

-Kunikida gives lots of advice to Kyoka. He does the same for Atsushi. I'd say this is because he's technically a "higher up" because he joined before the two of them.

-He has also given Kyoka a page of his notebook in case of emergency while Kyoka was trying to save Atsushi. (canon)

-Definitely helps her with tasks. If she's struggling, no she isn't, Kunikida is right there.

-Headpats!! And he gives her stuffed animals as gifts.

-Did I mention that he definitely carries a stuffed animal on him at all times just so he can give it to Kyoka? Because he 100% does (prove me wrong challenge) (level impossible)

Kenji;

-Kunikida actually knows a lot about Kenji. Specifically his ability and the way he acts with others.

-Unfortunately there aren't many interactions of the two.

-However, I think Kunikida would do everything Kenji wants. Not just because he's a higher up/ superior, but also because he has a weakness to Kenji. nobody wants Kenji angry.

-Both can easily give bone crushing hugs, so I think it's easier for them to hug each other than to hug other people.

-Yes Kunikida buys Kenji food. Yes he gives Kenji blankets for when he falls asleep. Asagiri told me himself trust me

-Kenji and Kyoka play with stuffed animals and dolls/ toy animals. Kunikida now keeps some random toys and animals with him just to calm them down.

-Kunikida also buys Kenji stuffed animals because he realized Kyoka liked them and Kenji seemed to want them as well.

Junichiro;

-Canonically, they do trust each other!

-I think Kunikida treats him to food a lot. Just as a little treat.

-Also praise. If we know he canonically can give praise then he should praise Junichiro for his hard work.

-Junichiro likes physical touch (my opinion) so I think Kunikida gives him hugs and pats on the back.

-Like you know that thing people do where they pat someone's back and then rub it? That's literally Kunikida to anyone I think. Just mainly Atsushi and Junichiro.

Naomi;

-I don't think they've like canonically interacted?

-Also treats Naomi to food. Just mainly sweets because she loves sweets.

-Hugs. The Tanizaki siblings love physical touch. That's their number one love language.

-Pats on the head for good work.

Haruno;

-They don't hang out much. But he will visit her.

-Daily check ups. He just visits her or goes to her during work and asks if everythings okay. (I think he does this to everyone, just a headcanon)

-Also headpats. At this point he has probably patted every single person's head at some point. Except for Fukuzawa (out of respect for him)

Fukuzawa;

-He has a lot of respect for him. We know this.

-Asking how his day was, making sure he's okay.

-Buying/ making him tea.

-Taking him out for food or drinks, whatever Fukuzawa is preferring in the moment.

-Hugged him once. Was horrified about it. Was also embarrassed because he didn't even mean to like it just happened.

-Fukuzawa didn't mind and hugged him back. This only made Kunikida more embarrassed. Also I think Kunikida's face and ears go read when he's embarrassed.

Katai; (if you're including him)

-They've known each other for ten years. They know each other well.

-Kunikida visits him often. Normally he reminds him to do chores, or does the chores himself.

-Kunikida encourages Katai to go outside. He'll also tell Katai to try going out without his futon.

-They're very close! Kunikida knows basically everything about Katai, and knows how to help him out.

-Kunikida praises Katai. (all above canon and this too)

-Kunikida makes food for Katai. I think he does it because Katai doesn't eat healthy food often.

-Kunikida and Katai cuddle. Trust me guys (whatt I'm definitely not a kunikatai shipper hahaa that'd be so weird..)

-Kunikida tries to go out with Katai but because Katai is a hikikomori it's pretty hard to do.

-Kunikida listens to all of Katai's ramblings on literally anything. Katai will listen about Kunikida's ideals too.

-Kunikida gives Katai words of affection a lot. Katai is insecure and Kunikida knows. That is why.

----------------

Unintentionally he will headpat people at the agency. Like "Good work." and then suddenly his hand his on their head and he pats it. Not even for a specific reason, he's just did it so frequently to the younger members and now it happens to everyone.

He takes everyone out for food/ drinks seperately, just so they can have a little bonding moment.

----------------

This definitely didn't take like two or three days tee hee

Lots of tags because this took a lot of time

[bsdrambles]

Kunikida knew most members in the agency didn't go to school. When he learned how bad some of their math was, he taught them one by one.

Little scenario with Kyouka because I think they would be a great duo (/p)-

Why Kunikida taught Kyouka first - He realized she couldn't count how many papers she had to do, and wanted to help her learn basic math.

---------

Kunikida - "Alright, you've got everything on this paper right. Good job."

Kyouka - "Am I done now?"

Kunikida - "Do you think you've figured it out now?"

Kyouka - "I memorized everything."

Kunikida - "Good. So how many papers do you have left to do?"

Kyouka - "Only ten."

Kunikida - "That's correct. Now, at least finish some papers."

I bet Dazai is just absolutely loved by elderly people.

Like, he's the guy playfully flirting with elder women and playing chess with the old men at the parks. They're always pinching his cheeks and calling him a "nice young man". They're spontaneously giving him sweets whenever they see him.

A case sends Kunikida and Dazai to a retirement home for information and Kunikida is immediately concerned about how Dazai's going to act around his elders.

But within 20 minutes of them being there, Dazai has practically been adopted by several of the residents. He's still done absolutely no work because he's too busy making plans to come back and visit his new friends.

Kunikida, whilst glad Dazai isn't giving anyone a heart attack with his usual antics, complains that they need to get back on track because this case is time sensitive. Then a kindly grandpa turns to him and says, "Hey, life's short. You shouldn't be so serious all the time, try to be more like your friend here, eh?"

And Kunikida has to use every ounce of self control he has to not go insane.

[kunikida-spotted]

he absolutely would if they're doing something that does not follow his ideals

it has to be justified in his mind though. if he can't find justification for it, then he wouldn't do it.

i desperately need the public consensus on this

reblog for larger sample size

[marichild]

I think it's incredibly funny that dazai is the only one who canonically shows an interest in women i.e. double suicide with a lady, but is the main REPEAT offender of Homosexual Vibes Acts with MULTIPLE men LMAOOO

[jounosparticles]

as much as i do think the bsd anime is a pretty good adaption, one of the biggest issues i have is how much kunikida content they leave out

like when he was under Q’s curse

or when he was trying to steal a car and let someone who didn’t have theft insurance go

or when he cried for two hours before reuniting with the rest of the agency

kunikida is just such a great character who has a lot of depth to his own morals and vulnerabilities and i wish we could see more of it.

[kunikida-spotted]

Was reading Beast and got so heavily distracted by Kunikida's beautiful face I had to put the book down

[kunikida-spotted]

he better be or I'll sob violently (again)

asagiri loves fake-out deaths he even has a character whose ability is literally fake-out deathing. kunikida will be ok. just kill the divine being and everyone will come back or smth trust

[calmlb]

unpopular opinion but i actually see Kouyou as the possible next Boss of the Port Mafia 👀

like ppl talk abt it being Chuuya but imo… Chuuya : Ranpo :: Kouyou : Kunikida

(Chuuya & Ranpo being the “hearts” of their orgs while Kouyou & Kunikida are the “heads”)

close ups under cut

[hamstertross]

every time someone mischaracterises kunikida as someone who follows every rule blindly and does the right thing always an angel loses its wings and fucking dies

[kunikida-spotted]

I love kunizai sm

dazai walking up to kunikida after the ada unites with a smile on his face, his usual mask back on, making jokes about kunikida missing him, how boring it must have been at the ada, how he's come up with so many new suicide methods to try out now that he's back, only for kunikida to cut him off by crushing him in a hug because dazai is alive and safe and he's been so worried. and the ada have been relying on him since s4 and it weighs on him, but his partner is back and for a moment everything feels okay again. kunikida holding onto dazai and burying his face in his shoulder bc for the first time in so long he's allowed to be vulnerable, he doesn't have to be strong anymore.

meanwhile dazai just. stands there. his teasing tapers off and theres this moment where kunikida's arms are wrapped around him as if making sure he's still there and maybe that's when dazai realizes that he doesn't need to keep up his own facade, either.

More atsushi college au but atsushi has no idea how some of the courses worked, he asked Ryuu for help but that was obviously useless. So cue in the detective agency(kunikida) helping him. Even though alot of them probably don't have college experience(except kunikida). A for effort??

Atsushi: Hey Dazai-San? Can you help me witp9h this problem? I don't understand it

Dazai: Hmm, sure atsushi-kun!~ They don't call me a genius for nothing~

Also dazai a few minutes later: Sorry kid, I give up~

atsushi: *sighs* thank you for trying though dazai-san

Atsushi: about to take his notebook back

Kunikida: *suddenly slaps the back of dazai's head* You clearly don't know what youre doing idiot! *Cue kunikida becoming atsushi's tutor*

Its 3 am so have more atsushi college au for yall spspspsp

I was overcome with days ago a desire to make a cutout of the ada office and them and couldn't do it until I finished my exams 🙂

[whathorselegs]

Your typical 'Kunikida and Chuuya bonding over how much Dazai annoys them' scenario where they're making jokes that they have a whole list for ways to get payback.

Only as they describe them to each other Kunikida's get increasingly graphic and unhinged to the point even Chuuya is concerned whether Dazai will survive until the end of the year. When Kunikida is finally done letting off steam, they sit in awkward silence for a moment before Chuuya says, "Buddy, I feel for you, and I admire the creativity, if you ever wanna make torture your career the mafia has a spot open for you, but Dazai is not worth the amount of life sentences you'll get for all that."
