#vampire atsushi

[starlightshadowsworld]

Vampire Atsushi is such an interesting concept to me.

Atsushi is someone who struggles with his own humanity. He's spent so many years believing he was a monster.

He's terrified of hurting those around him. And as a vampire he'd have no choice but to do to that.

I personally headcannon that Atsushi has to pull his punches in fights. Maybe someone like Fitzgerald or Fukuchi can meet his power head on.

But not everyone can and survive.

I mean Atsushi refused to fight back against vampire Akutagawa because he wasn't using Rashomon to defend himself.

Saying he could kill him.

Vampire Atsushi wouldn't have that to hold him back. He would punch and attack with all his strength.

Friend or foe it wouldn't matter to him.

Fukuchi would take away his humanity in more than one way.

Read left to right (or follow the numbers ^^))

But this is really only the beginning of their story.

too excited for rockstar lestat next season so i had to draw him

[originalaccountname]

wait hold on I'm having thoughts

Akutagawa forgotting who he is in favour of following Bram's last will, but remembering who Atsushi is because of his sacrifice...

do we perchance have a classic case of "character was wrong about themselves" when he said he'd remember "that day" with Dazai even if he somehow forgot everything else or....

[theghostinabadbook]

I can't believe Asagiri confirmed that sskk invented romance

[scr4xd]

i had a dream i made a bsd au where they were all monsters (except for atsushi) also do not question why dazai isn't burning to death i don't know either ☹️

any au name ideas?

[etrevil]

there really was only one ending for atsushi

[starlightshadowsworld]

Vampire Atsushi having his limbs always transformed. His eyes are blank, black and red and there's no emotion on his face.

Perches on rooftops like a cat, stalking it's prey from above.

Because the vampire ability is essentially an infection. Atsushi is constantly fighting against it because of his regenerative ability.

But Bram's ability is one of the 10 great calamites, so it's greatly overpowering Atsushi.

Vampire Atsushi is essentially in a cage while in survival mode, which is why he acts more like the tiger.

Because that is how Atsushi has always survived. He's scared, hurting and confused so he's lashing out.

Anytime Fukuchi orders him to attack, Atsushi does so with a brutality no one has ever seen in him.

Because it's the only time and way for Atsushi to lash out, to fight back against what he believes is hurting him.

It's not like he can attack Fukuchi because he's the one controlling him.

Fukuchi mistakes this all for blind obedience like every other vampire. Atsushi is fighting to survive just like he always has.

But he's lost in the dark and can't find his way out.

Which is why when Akutugawa shows up Atsushi pauses because there's something amiss.

Vampire Atsushi might not know who Akutugawa but his ability is familiar.

It's an ability that was once infused into the coat Atsushi is wearing. This is someone he knows, someone he should know and remember.

Someone who might be fighting them but it's different somehow.. Can they be trusted?

fun little pfp for spooky season!!!

atsushi as a vampire!!!

(it’s been ages since i drew bsd fanart it feels ;-; someone needs to get me back into the fandom, the manga just makes me sad now)

[eggsbenedict8]

I feel like If akutagawa remains a vampire he'd refuse to drink from peoples bodies just because it's too much physical contact for him he'd much rather just cut open a arm and let the blood drain into a cup or something

I'll probably add more onto this when I can write more. For now I'll dump these maybe along with some basic thoughts before I write a long analysis a few hours from now.

To sum up a thought instead of my upcoming dump-analysis and random theorizing. This reason could be Akutagawa seeing a value in a life which isn't his own. In beast we see him trying to teach those who killed his friends the value of a life through killing them, and eventually even lost his own way and hadn't noticed how he basically didn't show how to value his sisters life or his own with his recklessness until it was too late. And here we may get the answer would be throughout everything he may of seen a value in Atsushi's life, a life other than his own. Someone similar to him but so different, the other side of the coin. I can't describe properly right now but I had a random thought before on how this shows Akutagawa kind of saving himself or past self in a way but differently from when he said he was glad for Kyouka but thats for next time where I write more.

Earlier than this we see Dazai saying he knows why.

Throughout this series its obvious how much they both grew from each other and how their bonds shifted, beast gave me even more insight into how they would be as friends even (atsushi and akutagawa that is.) And them being the successful soukoku is something I enjoy a lot, from Mori and Fukuzawa which are black and white and completely don't see eye to eye or can be a working team, to Dazai and Chuuya who were forced to work together for their capabilities despite not getting along but they are there for eachother when things depend on it as comrades, then theres Akutagawa and Atsushi Yin and Yang - even their designs are showing how they all are so different and how they would work together or not. SSKK balances each other out, (I still don't think SSKK is a good name for their Yin and Yang relation.) But anyways, these two have so much development its amazing.

I know there are many theories surrounding Akutagawa currently with his memory loss etc. But over here he technically is saving/protecting a "commoner" or the "innocent" just as Knight Akutagawa says. And he as a character if you look back has always been a bit of a protector, as we know with his now deceased friends in the slums. Not to mention Rashomon is not just offensive but defensive, which can kind of show how it protects himself and could protect others - just another thought.

Akutagawa's death definitely influenced/impacted/affected Atsushi alot, not even in a shipping POV but as a canon appreciator and theorist/overanalyst I have to say this scene is one of my favourites. And Akutagawa gaining some (or all I am not sure as of now) of his memories after this MAKES SENSE! Because Akutagawa literally has been trying to kill atsushi for so long, their promise was even for him not to kill anyone for 6 months before the death battle with Atsushi (which I kinda hope still happens and ends like how beast's battle between them ended kind of.) And it is a big impactful thing to Akutagawa because this was a moment where he sacrificed himself, for someone who had most of his things being wants and obtaining that wanted goal which stems from selfishness (which atsushi similarily has) this was a selfless act for protecting someone, someone who has become worthy of being saved? Someone who just deserves to live because he now fully understands the value of others' lives? Of course Akutagawa would "wake up" after Atsushi sacrificed himself and said the same words he did since its quite a big deal to his whole character. Also an honerable mention to 55 minutes?! I will make a separate thing on random thoughts of Akutagawa and Rashomon at some point about the cutting through space - or rather how he manages to retain consciousness or memories despite certain things or losing them. Maybe the things that impact him impact him that much that it sticks no matter what. In 55 minutes when he was dying in flames after searching for Higuchi and having his moment of last words - when the time is reversed we see he still remembered the exact time of the disaster, and himself burning he remembers, he also made sure to check up on Higuchi near around that time too so he remembered quite a lot for someone who died and wasn't supposed to have ANY memory of something that never HAPPENED YET. Yet he retained some of it, and VAMPIRE Aku also had some of his consciousness as Atsushi spoke or when he SAVED/SPARED Aya. (Also random noting that the vapirism had no affect on Atsushi.) Aku still kept his promise like the man of honor he is, and this even shows how he'd still protect a child and have moments of memory despite being a vampire who is supposed to only take orders and be mindless like a DOG which Aku HAS been to the mafia but an uncontrollable one too. So what I see is that he really does have something going on with memories and how things personally impacting him plays a huge role in his character and character development which is obvious because Dazai...

i hope atsushi loses this fight for no reason in particular.
