How would the BSD men react to you wanting to paint their nails (alignment chart 🙏)

Love it/hate it

Let you/wouldn't let you maybe?

sorry for the wait, but thank you for this request! i needed something silly and fluffy to do <3

When you ask him if you can paint his nails, he gives you a weird look and asks "why?" You respond "just because" or "it'd be cute" and he thinks about it for a moment--maybe needs some convincing--but allows you to.

Jouno (doesn't understand the point--he can't even see it--but you tell him you want to practice and you'll make it super neat and in a lovely shade of red to match his uniform, so he agrees), Akutagawa (needs only your pouting puppy dog face to agree; he acts like he sits begrudgingly, but you see him admirning his black nails for the next few days, and when they chip he tells you he needs a touch-up), Oda (says you can practice on yourself, can't you? but when you say you just wanna see him in nail polish, he says alright, alright, but it has to be something fairly neutral), Sigma (doesn't really have a concept of nails being a decorative thing, so he doesn't even consider paitning them until you ask; he lets you and actually quite likes the soft tone of purple that matches his hair), Ango (sighs and says no, but you press him for a reason why and he can't necessarily come up with one, so when you promise to remove it if he doesn't like it, he allows you, but honestly he doesn't hate it), Fukuzawa (has to think about it for a few moments, but when you ask if he's ever painted his nails he says "no, so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try").

When you ask, he either perks up and says yes right away, or after you convince him he becomes really interested.

Nikolai (says YES, and digs through your polish to pick what color he wants), Junichiro (says okay!! :D and asks for a simple black because he's always liked the idea of painting his nails), Poe (realizes he'll get to hold your hand and says yes, and then he actually really likes having his nails black), Atsushi (asks if you really want to do that for him, and is very happy when you enthusiastically says yes!; he also picks out which color he wants and is happy to hold your hands), Tetcho (allows you but only if it's black, and then he quite likes it and how it makes his hands look (and he wants you to match your nails to his)), Dazai (excitedly says yes and picks out an obnoxious pink and shows everyone his lovely nails that his girlfriend did for him), Chuuya (thinks it over, glances through your collection, then allows you to paint his nails black or deep red because it would look cool), Tachihara (similar to Chuuya, thinks about it and looks through your colors then lets you do something dark and moody), Bram (is fascinated by the body-safe paint and lets you paint his nails because it's a fun addition to his outfit; he goes for a deep red or a dark dark purple).

You ask him, and though he seems interested, he ultimately won't let you.

Mori (can't let his subordinates see him like that, and also if he were to need to perform surgery on someone if there were some insane incident it wouldn't be medically sterile for his nails to be painted, or something like that he says), Mushitaro (is willing to let you until he inspects your own nails and sees how messy they are, then he changes his mind because he doesn't want them messy -.-).

You ask him, and he grimaces and says no, for a variety of reasons.

Kunikida (could be convinced if you really, really, really wanted to, but he doesn't want to deal with the paint chipping and the upkeep it would require if he let it happen and ended up liking it), Ranpo (eats with his fingers so often that he absolutely refuses to let you paint his nails because he's heard you complain about the taste/smell of nail polish), Fyodor (lowkey has "traditional values" on some random things and thinks nail polish isn't for him, but also he bites his nails and if he tastes that polish he'll be disgusted), Fukuchi (straight up says no, that's for girls, he's a man and not interested, and also he has shitty beat up nails anyway).

CONTENTS: references to past abuse, arguments, pm!reader, ada!dazai, angst, typical dazai warnings lol, comfort at the end

notes: thank you for the request !! i hope this is okay <3

It’d begun like any other morning. Already exhausted, you woke with an overwhelming list of things to do, tasks that needed to be completed by the evening.

It was a typical routine for you, these days. As a high-ranking member of the Mafia, you never got a break. Not from your job, nor the menial chores you needed to suffer through in your personal life. The laundry, it seemed, wouldn’t do itself, no matter how much your boss paid you for all the illegal actions you’d committed.

And though it was wearisome, everything had been fine. The sun began to set, and you realized that for the rest of the day, you would be free.

That was, until your routine check-in with Mori somehow led to a disclosure of what had been years’ worth of private information.

He’d greeted you as normal, sat you down before his desk with his oily smile, and had you review everything you’d accomplished that week. Though you believed you would be free to go within half an hour, when you stood to leave, Mori released an oh, by the way, and reiterated the unanticipated torment that Dazai had put Akutagawa through.

For the entirety of his story, you sat without so much as a twitch of the muscle, but you couldn’t comprehend why Mori was telling you now. It had been nearly four years since Dazai left the Mafia, and though the Boss had been aware of your relationship as teenagers, he’d never given you any sign that he knew it’d continued after Dazai defected.

You’d both been careful, secretive. You never did anything to draw any suspicion or be labeled as a traitor, and the two of you were successful.

At least, you thought you’d been successful.

Mori had never once mentioned it, had never so much as batted an eye when you spoke about Dazai from time to time. Though, now, his grin was much too conniving, the words made of steel as he drew them out, directing them in a sharp point towards your chest.

He had no intentions of going after Dazai, that much was clear. Nor did he seem intent on killing you for your misdeeds. Already, he’d spun a vile web, knowing exactly how to use you as his best asset. With you still under his command, he had some sort of advantage over Dazai and the Agency.

Perhaps, his comments were just a test of your loyalty. If Mori laid that one tiny seed of doubt in your mind, would it be enough to fracture the bond between you and Dazai that had been unsevered for years?

You wanted to convince yourself, fervently, that the answer was no. You’d been by Dazai’s side for this long and nothing he’d done had turned you away. Yet, you were unprepared for the anger that had risen in you, burning so hot and ravenous that you were unable to think of anything else.

It was all that was on your mind as you returned to the apartment, a barren space that had been used for nothing besides meetups with Dazai since the two of you purchased it. Each wall was entrenched with years of as much sin as there was love. Items that belonged to both of you were scattered across the surfaces, but there was never anything too important.

At the end of the day, neither of you could stay there long.

You paced the apartment, thinking through everything that Mori had said, over and over again. An ache of sorrow fought against your warranted rage, and you stood by the door waiting for Dazai to enter.

As angry as you were with him, as horrified as you wanted to be, there were still years and years of comfort and gentleness that placed a cooling balm over your burning wounds.

Still, a part of you had always been envious that Dazai had managed to escape into something good, and you’d become the enemy to his organization. Now, it seemed, you were the only thing holding him back.

In some other universe, surely, there was a life better for the both of you than this.

Despite your affection, you inhaled, fortifying yourself for a regrettable conversation. You channeled your resentment into logic, rephrasing sentences in your mind until they were perfect, forming an argument that couldn’t be so easily shut down by Dazai’s soothing words.

The door clicked, unlocked by the only other person that held a key to the salacious space. He was humming to himself, an upbeat song that had been stuck on the radio charts for weeks.

Something about that simple action startled you, set you off kilter, and you crossed your arms, protecting yourself. You came here with a purpose, and you refused to diminish the weight of the conversation. A puff of steam left you on a heavy exhale.

Dazai threw the key on the counter and smiled, his eyes softening the moment they caught a glimpse of you. “You got here faster than I thought.” His tone was cheerful, and he seemed relaxed, without the foreboding cloud of misery pushing down on him. It was so unusual that you, almost, regretted bringing up what you’d learned from Mori at all.

Though, it wasn’t something you could just ignore. You straightened, making sure not to deflate under his undeniable warmth.

For a moment, Dazai didn’t realize that anything was wrong. He hung his coat up, stretched his limbs, and talked without facing you. “It’s been too long since we’ve seen one another. I thought about you all day,” he said, drawing out the syllables with a short laugh. “You’re always such a distraction. How will I ever get my work done?”

Dazai seemed so happy, and in all your years together, you’d never thought that would be a word used to describe him. It pained you to ruin that, even as your nails dug into your palm, trying to reconcile the two versions of Dazai that you knew.

You looked away. If you wanted to say what you needed to, you couldn’t bear to see the way his soft expression turned into one of animosity.

For a few more moments, he rambled on to himself, before realizing that you hadn’t said a word at all. You felt frozen in the middle of the room, your mouth dry as you tried to think of the best way to segue into the conversation.

“Hey.” Dazai had grown quiet, and he stopped mulling around the apartment, finally focusing all his attention on you. “What’s wrong, pretty?” There was a pout on his lips, his expression already falling from the bright, joyful one he’d worn when he’d entered. “I still haven’t gotten a kiss.”

You were weak for a moment, questioning if your anger was even worth it. A minute passed of your own silence before you resolved yourself, ending your hesitance. What you’d heard had upset you tremendously; you couldn’t just brush past it like it was nothing.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Dazai’s face screwed up, eyebrows pinched, as he tried to remember what he could’ve possibly done to upset you that week. Though you often bickered about ridiculous things, it was rare that either of you lashed out in anger at the other.

Your expression was enough to let him know that this was one of those times. He hesitated. “I’m… not sure what you mean, love. Did I do something wrong?”

At that, you laughed, amused that he could play so innocent. He’d changed while in the Detective Agency, that much was certain, but you knew every bit of his soul and he certainly hadn’t been purified of his sins. “Mori told me about Akutagawa today. I doubted how much of it was true until I thought about it, really thought about it, and it makes sense.”

Dazai stared blankly back at you, his eyes searching your face for any more context. They flicked back and forth, round brown irises full of an uncertainty you weren’t sure was genuine. He was a master of manipulation, and you refused to ever be a pawn in his schemes, no matter how small. “I haven’t seen Akutagawa in weeks. Whatever’s happened to him—”

You stood straighter, keeping your hands tight at your sides. “I’m not talking about now, Osamu. I’m talking about years ago; back when you were training him.”

A moment passed; he didn’t blink. Nothing in his eyes betrayed him. “Would you care to provide me with some context?”

“You know what I’m talking about.” You scowled, clenching your teeth so hard that it hurt. “How could you do that to him? All those years, you and Oda kept it a secret from me. You hurt him. You were so cruel.” Your nails dug deep into your palm. “I told you everything that happened to me before I came to the Mafia. Every way that I was hurt, and you told me you understood. You promised me, and you turned around and did the same thing to him.”

Dazai held his body loosely, surprised by your sudden outburst of emotion. It seemed he was unsure what to do with the confession you’d just handed over. Dazai licked his lips, wetting the dry skin, and searched deep into your soul for the best way to soothe you.

But the betrayal, the hurt, was buried deep within you, and the anger wouldn’t fade so easily.

“I never kept secrets from you,” he said, instead of answering any questions. His tone was cool, unaffected, like you hadn’t just raised your voice as your countenance changed into one of distress. “You just never bothered to ask.”

Silence. You swallowed, hard, each notch of your spine stiffening. “That’s not fair. How was I supposed to know his training was any different from mine? Should my first suspicion have been that you were mistreating him?”

Dazai grew grim, the first twinge of emotion you’d seen since you’d spoken. He rubbed his temple. “You’ve got a right to be angry, but I never hid anything from you on purpose.” He reached out for you, his touch soft as he rubbed your bicep. “I just don’t know what you want me to do about it now, sweetheart. Why are you bringing this up?”

You didn’t want to tell him about Mori, not yet. That was a conversation for another time, and he wouldn’t hesitate to claim that bit of information was the more pressing matter.

Instead, you inched out of his hold, gazing back at him with contempt. “You can’t be serious, Osamu.” His audacity shouldn’t have been surprising, but it shocked you, nonetheless. “That’s all you have to say?”

“What do you want me to say?” Dazai held his hands out like you would hand him over a script, a typed apology just for him to repeat back at you. “Never once did you show any concern for Akutagawa’s wellbeing when he joined the Mafia. Suddenly, you care, and I’m not sure why.”

“That’s not true!” you said, your cheeks hot with frustration. “We we’re friends—”

Dazai laughed, though it was mocking, without any true humor. “You expressed an interest in him that wasn’t ever reciprocated.”

You scrubbed your face, drained from his rebuttals, and put enough space between the two of you so that Dazai couldn’t touch you.

“Fine. Maybe we weren’t friends, but I wantedto be because I knew he understood. I thought we could get to know each other well. Then one day, he wouldn’t even speak to me anymore. He looked at me like I knew so much more than he did.” A finger was in Dazai’s face, scolding. “You fucked it all up. We’re just a year apart, Osamu. I didn’t want him to treat me like that just because I was dating his mentor.”

There was a break of silence. Dazai sniffed, recovering some sense of power in the conversation. “I’m sorry.” he said, but it was merely to appease you, no sincerity in the words. “Perhaps my methods of training were inappropriate and unethical, but it’s the Mafia, my love. What did you expect?”

Frustrated tears welled up in your eyes. “And if it had been me? If I had been under your command, would you have done the very same?”

At that, Dazai softened, his lips curling down. The light in his eyes flickered and faded, any happiness in his face muted. “It would never have been you. You know I could never bring myself to hurt you.”

You buried your face in your hands, his sweet comment doing little to soothe you. “He was just a kid—”

“I was too.” Dazai held your wrists gently, prying them away. He was frowning, dark eyebrows pinched together as he looked at you with both concern and betrayal. “You’re going to blame this all on me, when I was a child too, doing what I thought was right?”

“No. But you’re an adult now, and you still treat him the same way.” You shoved him away, putting space between you, never before having felt so cold in Dazai’s embrace. “He’s nothing more than a chess piece to you. That’s something I can’t accept.”

“Is that the case?” Dazai turned hard; suddenly he’d lost the upper hand. “You’ve got a lot of opinions on what’s right. Yet, remind me who’s the one still in the Mafia?”

It was meant to hurt you, a low blow that stung and went straight to your chest. You hadn’t wanted to stay in the Mafia, but he’d never given you the choice. Dazai had left you with nothing more than a note and a promise, and you were too stupidly fond of him to ever let him go completely.

“It’s so hard to love you sometimes, Osamu,” you said, quietly, trying to keep your emotions at bay. “Your new friends at the agency get to be ignorant about the man you used to be, but I know just how cruel he was. I see him every time I look at you.”

Dazai stared back at you stunned and hurt. He flexed his fingers, but for once, he didn’t reach out for you.

You couldn’t bear to look at him anymore.

The bathroom door slammed behind you, and you stood in front of the mirror, watching splotchy patches form on your skin from unreleased emotions. The sink ran, a steady stream with no end, to tune out your deep, calming breaths until you no longer felt that immense amount of anger.

You knew what you were getting yourself into by falling in love with a man like Dazai. You’d known it from the beginning. He was no different than all the people that had hurt you, the reason why you’d come to the Mafia in the first place.

Yet, he was so much more loving with you, gentle and patient, and you knew that under every layer of bad intent and regretful crimes, Dazai was a good person.

With a sigh, you turned off the sink and crept back into the room, feeling remorseful and miserable. The knowledge of what he’d done to Akutagawa was something you couldn’t forgive him for. It was horrible and traumatizing, but so were so many other things that he’d done.

You couldn’t place double standards on him for his previous actions. If you had loved him despite all of those things, you weren’t going to be able to stop now.

“Osamu?” you said in a quieter voice, creeping out of the bathroom silently, slinking within the shadows.

He was spread over the length of the couch, his head resting on the arm of it as he stared up at the ceiling. When you approached, he shifted into a seated position, waiting for you to speak.

“I didn’t mean what I said,” you began, walking slowly towards him, drawn to him easily. “You’re not a difficult man to love. I’ve never felt that way.”

Dazai smiled, though it was half-hearted, and extended a hand to you. You took it quickly and he drew you into his lap, squeezing you tight. “Well, I certainly don’t make it easy on you.”

You were silent. He kissed your forehead, running a delicate touch across your back.

“I can’t take back what I did to him.” Dazai sighed, dropping his forehead to your shoulder. “The damage is done.”

“I know that.” You breathed, his calming scent wrapping around you, reminding you that no matter what, he would always be your home. “It’s not fair for me to judge you when I’m still in the Mafia. My crimes are no better than yours. Even if what you did…” you trailed off shaking your head. “No. You’re right, Osamu. It’s not fair.”

He guided your fingers to his lips, kissing each of them lightly with the beginnings of a smile. “I’ll never be a perfect man, but I’m trying to be a better one.” Though he refrained from showing vulnerabilities to most people, he was more open with you, more willing to reveal the parts of himself he despised the most. “I… hope you know that. It may not seem like I’m trying, but—"

“I know you are.” You ran a hand through his hair and swallowed, resting your cheek on top of his head. “Osamu, you’re already so different than you were when you left. You’ve changed much more than I have. It was horrible of me to diminish that.” You squeezed his hand. “I’m sorry I said that.”

A minute passed before he spoke again, his breath so steady, a reminder that he was still there, with you, despite all attempts he’d made to leave you behind. We’ve seen every ugly side to one another. It makes it far too easy to be unkind. Doesn’t mean I’d ever love you any less.”

You smiled, though it was sad, but through your hurt you were still devastatingly devoted to him. It was just easier to ignore the damage he’d caused when you weren’t staring it right in the face, a walking, breathing reminder of the person he held inside him. The very type of man that had once hurt you.

You squeezed him tighter, blocking out the cruel memories of your past. Dazai had never laid a punishing hand on you, had never spat demeaning words at you that could never be forgiven. Through it all, he had adored you, treated you with a gentleness you’d desired, and loved you without conditions.

Brushing dark hair away from his forehead, your eyes softened, the darkness in him cracking as the light began to shine through. “I know, Osamu,” you said, your cheeks pinching, warm. “Despite it all, I will always love you without regrets.”

Bsd/fnaf au thoughts

Okay, ready? bc imma dump the entire storyline right here right now:

Mori Ougai and Fukuzawa Yukichi are the co-founders of Feddie Faber's Pizzeria (They had some trademark issues to work around), and they were the best of friends and they both wanted to use the power of pizza, robots and capitalism to entertain kids. But Mori had secret, evil ulterior motives, he made a children's pizza place to get close enough to MURDER THEM! That's right, Mori was secretly a child serial killer! why? Bc the souls of dead kids had the ability to extend one's lifespan and bro was really into the prospect of immortality.

Mori's first victim, Yosano Akiko, his friend Fukuzawa's daughter. It was young Yosano's birthday and she was locked out in the rain from her own party, hosted at Feddie Faber's. That's when Mori snekily pulled up to her and MURDERED HER. The security puppet robot at Feddie's tried to save her but ended up malfunctioning in the rain and died beside Yosano. Her soul fused into the security puppet and she was REBORN in to the vengeful Puppet who vowed to give life to any kid murdered by Mori and take him down...

Fast forward to 1983, and Mori's son, 15 year old Dazai Osamu is causing trouble at his younger sibling Yumeno Kyuusaku's birthday party at Feddie's. Dazai has been taunting them and sticking his sobbing sibling's head in the highly volatile springlock Golden Feddie animatronic suit. Sudennly a freak accident occured and the super dangerous springlocks in Feddie's jaw malfunction and they CRUSH Kyuu's frontal lobe. They die. And Dazai is overwhelmed with guilt at being the one to cause their death.

Mori, devastated by his youngest's death vows to never let his kids be killed by animatronics ever again. But he still wants to keep up his child murder hobby. ITS OKAY IF IT ISN'T HIS KIDS. Mori said #notmychildren. Not too long afterwards his youngest child Elise gets scooped by one of his special Child Killer Robots, Circus Bebito (again, trademark conflict), and she eventually possesses that robot. Now the family is left with just Mori and Dazai.

The year is 1985, and Dazai wants to die. He still hangs around his father's pizzeria, and let a few of the regulars get close to him. You could maybe call it friendship.

First, there's Edogawa Ranpo, an older kid that Dazai thought was cool. Ranpo liked detective stories and the gross sugary candy from the prize counter and only played the easy, high ticket yield games in the arcade. Dazai though that was very cool too, especially the detective part. Unfortunately Ranpo's passion for investigation would be his downfall.

Next we have Higuchi, a young kid who found an inordinate amount of joy from the robotic animal performers at Feddie Faber's. Higuchi was a naive kid though, and her trust in the Feddie's character's would be her end....

Izumi Kyouka spent a lot of time playing at Feddie's. She's a pretty shy kid, but cared a lot for her friends in loved ones, a really strong protective streak, one that would get her into danger. Dazai held a lot of fondness for Kyouka, but that couldn't be said for

Her older brother and his no. 1 enemy, Nakahara Chuuya, but looking back on it, Dazai would probably call him his best friend. Chuuya was an employee at Feddie's, and Dazai had some of the most fun in his teenage years harrassing Chuuya's while he tried to serve pizzas in peace. But Chuuya cared too much about his family and seriously lacked self preservation skills, maybe if he kept his head down like a good employee he would have survived.

Finally, there's Akutagawa Ryuunosuke. Dazai never liked Akutagawa, but he did like to bully Akutagawa. Dazai regrets his cruel behavior, the boy didn't deserve what happened to him.

None of the five kids made it out of Feddie's alive. Their disappearances in the summer of '85 was infamously known as the Dissappeared Kids Ordeal (some publication in America got dirst dibs on a catchier name for a similar situation.)

The next person who needed to disappear was their killer, Mori himself. All he needed to do was collect enough samples of the life lengthening soul powers from the child-stuffed animatronics he made and he was set. But, PUPPET YOSANO (yeah she's back) wouldn't allow that, she gifts life to the dead children ghosts and they unionize against Mori. He, in a last ditch effort to hide from the ghosts after him, jumps into his springlock murder suit. The springlock mechanisms fail on him and he gets crushed to death in the suit. The Feddie's day crew eventually find him and, not wanting to alert another major scandal for the company, they seal him inside a back room to rot away forever

Dazai spends the last year of his childhood alone.

He knew his father had something to do with all the death he's experienced throughout his life but he needed the full picture. So Dazai took a *calculated risk* he followed his fathers instruction that he left behind.

> go to the Circus Bebito Party Bunker, finish up the business for me. you will know the truth about what happened to your sister and friends.

Dazai did and he learned about Mori's dark objectives. He discovered his old notes about the kids he killed,

Higuchi was inside the chicken animatronic, she was led away by the killer in a springlock suit

Kyouka ended up inside the bunny. she just wanted to know where her friend and questioned the costumed "employee" who was with him last.

Chuuya was stressed searching for his younger sister, stumbled into the wrong backroom at the wrong time with a conveniently empty fox animatronic at hand. He just wished he didnt trust his boss as much.

Ranpo's attempt at playing detective really didnt end well when he got too close too the truth. Ranpo always liked Feddie more than the other character, but that didnt mean he wanted to get shoved into it.

Akutagawa ended up in the decommissioned Golden Feddie. In a twisted way the two people Dazai hurt the most ended up demonically possessing the same robot.

Dazai heard enough, he was about to leave when. HE DONE GOT SCOOPED. See at his brief tenure working at Circus Bebito's Party Bunker, he got tricket by Fyodor the Circus Ballerina, Nikolai the Circus Feddie, Sigma the Circus Fox and his sister Elise, the Circus Bebito. The Circus robots all fused together to for THE DECAY OF ROBOTS. They trap Dazai in the Scooping Room and Scoop his insides out. And then Dazai got what he wanted and died.

But not really. Dazai was somehow still alive... see, Dazai was injected with the magical dead child soul juice that granted him an extra long life. So his body was dead and hand no internal organs, he was decaying but he somehow survived. Which means that his father did too somehow.

Dazai now has a mission! He wrapped his rotting body in place with bandages, got a security uniform and set to work. He needs to go back to Feddie's and realease the agonized souls of his dead friends, kill the Decay of Robots, and kill Mori. Then he can retire peacufully to the afterlife.

So.. can Dazai survive five nights at Feddie's?

also what do you think of akutagawa and atsushi

i made a post about this a while ago but i ADORE shin soukoku i feel like they get undermined a lot because of soukoku which. fair soukoku are INSANE it's hard to compete with everything they've got going on but people sometimes take that to mean sskk are just an extension of them as like. their cute comic potential kids that they split in the divorce or something. and while that is hilarious and i will read any fic that leans into that dynamic, i think we as a fandom need to just focus more on sskk AS THEIR OWN SHIP because they are CRAZY. they change each other's characters so fucking much and they both see dazai as this north star guiding them in VERY different ways and akutagawa becomes softer and less violent because of atsushi while being able to acknowledge his own worth and finally getting that praise from dazai and atsushi (and this is probs my fave part of it) is TOUGH and VIOLENT when he's with akutagawa and it shouldn't be a good thing but here is this boy who has only ever had bad things happen to him and he was kinder for it, he wants to save people because no one saved him, and he gives and gives and gives and never snaps back and i love him so much for it, but god i just love that with akutagawa he lets himself be mean. like we see the WORST side of atsushi in his scenes with aku (i mean, the famous dazai-phone-call scene? hello? he was FOUL for that LMFAO) and we see the best side of aku in his scenes with atsushi and when they both turn around and go on to be good and bad respectively it's just sooo intriguing to see the way they almost flip around. they're amazing parallels imo and they fill in each other's gaps and they understand each other and their relationship grows so much from its starting point and that is ALWAYS going to be super cool to watch. i mean aku cut atsushi's literal leg off when they met and then by the end of it he died for him. hello. is anyone listening

#I LOVE THEM. ALSO AKU IS DEFINITELY GOING TO LIVE ISTG #ASAGIRI DID AN INTERVIEW AND SAID HIS ARC WAS ONLY HALF DONE. I HAVE FAITH. IM DELULU OVER HIM #akutagawa the original losing dog. no one has been a losing dog more than him im so serious #ask #bsd #bsd spoilers #shin soukoku

//BSD THEORY- S5EP11 SPOILERS//

MULTIVERSE THEORY BABY LET'S GOOOO!!!!!

Bsd multiverse. We already know it exists because of beast, where Dazai travels all the timelines to find one where Oda can live.

My big point here being, I think the villain(AU Fukichi?) who shows up, is from a different universe. Same with the Akutagawa who shows up next to Atsushi.

As far as I'm aware, we aren't actually sure whether the current timelines Akutagawa is alive after vampirism ended, or even if all the vampires have been removed from their possessed states.

But yet, an Akutagawa shows up next to Atsushi? In a completely different outfit, no less? Plus, he appears to be a lot stronger, and his ability doesn't have the same red glow that the first Akutagawa has.

I believe that the villain and Akutagawa are from the same timeline- judging by the very similar styles of their clothing, and Akutagawa seems to know who Fukichi is, and potentially has fought with him before. I also think that the reason that they have only showed up now, after Fukichi died, might be because they can only exist in the current universe when the version of them that belongs there had died. (The entire thing with Dazai having to kill himself at the end of beast to keep the world stable reinforcing this.)

Here's my main point; I think that this villain(I keep saying villian instead of Fukichi because I'm not 100% sure on him actually being Fukichi, but he has the same facial markings and stuff, so honestly probably) and Akutagawa are the Beast universe version of these characters, and have jumped timelines to the current one.

Remember at the end of beast where Dazai says to Akutagawa and Atsushi;

Beast Dazai already remembers that these two fought, and about the rats, so likely knew about the DOA and the inevitability of Akutagawa's death.

He also probably recognised that the current timelines Atsushi and Akutagawa are not strong enough to fight Fukichi on their own. (Especially if it's a super cool futuristic Fukuchi who has been through another war- that being the one that Fukichi was trying to prevent in the current timeline, after the warning from what I believe to be his beast counterpart).

This is reinforced by this panel, talking about how he needed them to fight to understand each other better.

So why is only Beast Akutagawa there, and not a super buffed Beast Atsushi?

Because 1. Atsushi is still alive in the current timeline, 2. Beast Atsushi is hidden away with Beast Mori, and 3. Dazai needs the Beast Akutagawa, and current Atsushi to work together.

Beast Dazai also briefly mentions how he thinks it's just the influence of the ADA which makes the main timeline ADA Atsushi win all his fights against PM Akutagawa, and the Beast timeline ADA Akutagawa wins when he fights against PM Atsushi.

This would bring the ADA Akutagawa and ADA Atsushi together, bringing the strongest of each together, plus adding on the entire ADA always wins thing.

So yeah, the cool futuristic Akutagawa next to Atsushi at the end is Beast Akutagawa.

That was my ted talk, thank you.

OMG OMG I’m currently kicking my feet abt a romance story I read where the lovies go camping and have to share a tent— so anyway!! Could I have umm uhhh 🫐🏕️ with Higugin please? Higuchi even has a lemony dress in the BSD game so like they’re the perfect fruits 💕💕

You don’t have to do the tent-sharing idea, feel as free as you want!! Maybe they’re even taking a train to their camping site? Remember that you’re super cool and valid, take some time to enjoy the warmer weather, and if you ever feel burnt out, have a nice glass of lemonade! :D

🍋 Lemonade Special Order 🍋

~~~

“Ichiyo?”

The use of her first name would have startled Higuchi more if the single word hadn’t broken into the quiet like a clap of thunder, even if it had been whispered. Everything was so silent out here, and she was so tense. She’d have been able to hear a spider crawling on the outside of the tent, she thought.

“Y-Yes?” she stammered in hushed reply.

“Are you nervous, being alone out here with me?”

At this the blonde turned toward her companion, though she could make out nothing but the outline of her sleeping bag in the darkness. “I…of course not, Miss Akutagawa.”

There was a rustling, and Gin sat up. Higuchi was able to see her full outline now – long, flowing hair and graceful curves. She was suddenly grateful for the dark.

“Are you worried that my brother will be angry?”

Higuchi shivered. “No – well…yes, I suppose. But that’s not why I’m—” She cut herself off just before she admitted aloud that she was, in fact, very nervous.

Gin was silent for a moment, and then she was crawling over to where Higuchi lay. “I’m not like him, you know. Not in that way. And if he tries to do anything to you, I’ll kill him myself.”

“It’s only natural he’d be concerned for you, Miss Akutagawa,” Higuchi replied quietly, watching Gin’s every move like a hawk. “You’re the only family he has.”

“How many times must I tell you to call me Gin?”

The closeness of Akutagawa’s sister was nerve-wracking enough even before Higuchi suddenly felt gentle presses into her sleeping bag, searching for an opening. “W-What are you doing?”

Gin found purchase then, and a smile could be heard in her voice as she replied, “This.”

Giggles bubbled up from the blonde’s lips before she could hope to quell them. She slapped a hand over her mouth to muffle herself as Gin gently pinched and traced her ribs, her sides, even her back – anywhere she could reach in the darkness.

“M-Mihihihiss Akutagahahahawa,” she sputtered, blushing furiously, trying to roll over or squirm away but impeded by the very sleeping bag she lay in. “Plehehehehehease!”

“Relax, Ichiyo. I’m the one who suggested this camping trip, remember? It’s all on me if Ryuunosuke gets upset about it.”

“Thahahahahahat dohohohohoesn’t hehehehehelp—”

“Why not?”

“Behehehehehecause…!” Higuchi squealed when Gin found her hips, covering her mouth again and blindly reaching for the other woman. “Ehehehehehe! Plehehehehehease stohohohohohop, Miss—”

“Gin,” Gin insisted, squeezing her hips again.

Higuchi barely bit back a shriek as she finally found her companion’s arms in the darkness of the tent and gripped them for dear life, pleading, “Gihihihihihihin!”

At last the tickling stopped, leaving the blonde gasping for breath and smiling up at where she knew the dark-haired woman was, barely able to regain her thoughts before she felt another kind of tickle – this one the puff of breath on her cheek as Gin leaned down to whisper in her ear.

“Besides, when we’re so far from Yokohama, he can’t stop us from having a little fun~”

#fanfiction #tickle drabble #coffee shots #lemonade event #bungo stray dogs #bsd #gin akutagawa #higuchi ichiyo #higugin #playful #cute #fluff #tickling #ticklish #tickle #AHHHH MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT HIGUGIN!!#I've been loving the idea of these two as a ship lately??#so thank you for giving me a chance to try them out! i think they're so cute!!

I was watching cannibalism stageplay and found that it pointed out smth very interesting!!! Atsushi's relationship with his orphanage director/headmaster actually resembles Akutagawa's relationship with Dazai

Both Dazai and the orphanage director/headmaster deeply abused and traumatized their students, but it is revealed that both of them did so in concern for their students' survival.

Dazai treated Akutagawa harshly so he would have the strength to live, and even thrive, in the mafia. The orphanage director/headmaster treated Atsushi harshly so that atsushi could keep living with himself when things eventually came crashing down around him (such as when the tiger went feral).

They are also both revealed to have had a rough—arguably even rougher than their students' in some aspects—life, and as such wanted to protect their students from the same pain and agony... though toughening them up through even more agony, enough so that they could persevere and survive through real awful situations later on

honestly i never even thought about this parallel before the stageplay, so this was super duper cool

(more stuff analysis about dazai under the cut!!!)

what's even more interesting is that dazai seems to acknowledge this parallel, and it's through this that we gain further insight on how he views akutagawa. It's clear that he knows full well that what he had done to akutagawa was unforgiveable, and does not expect forgiveness.

however, it's still evident that dazai cares for Akutagawa (again, still does not at all justify what he did to him, but definitely helps put things in perspective). If he hadn't, why would Dazai have put him through all that training and suffering to toughen him up, when he could have just as easily thrown him to the wolves and left him to die as a meaningless grunt in the mafia?

Dazai saw a young child, only 2 years younger than him, with a similar lack of a will to live in his eyes. He didn't need to take him into the mafia, but he did. he saw that kid with nothing else to keep him pushing through life, and sought to give him a similar home and salvation that the mafia brought him. Perhaps even better, perhaps give him the hope that dazai had wished the mafia have given him (as it is revealed in stormbringer that he had already gotten tired of the mafia after a year despite saying that he might find a reason to live bc of it in 15).

but for akutagawa to be able to find a home in the mafia (which, its clear that he does later on, such as when he was trying to bring kyouka back to the mafia) dazai had to make sure that he could survive through the bad, hence the... well, y'know. we've all memed on that one gif of dazai beating the shit out of aku. i think. i dunno maybe im just fucked up.

dazai isnt a dick to akutagawa bc he was an edgy teenager or just for shits and giggles. and he didn't push akutagawa to the fullest because he didn't comprehend how strong he actually was, pushing on a notion of weakness onto him.

dazai knows that akutagawa is strong. we know he knows. Hell, Chuuya (and atsushi too but idk if im remembering the guild aftermath scene right) knows.

So did Dazai's method of putting aku through hell to make him develop a "loathesome anger to help him survive" work? yeah. does it resemble what atsushi went through at the hands of his orphanage director/headmaster? yeah.

however, the similarities in their way of teaching doesn't end there. Dazai's method of training akutagawa resulted in an extremely low self-esteem, the kind that depends on another's approval. While atsushi doesn't necessarily depend on the approval of others, he does have a very low self esteem and rather depends on helping others to prove that he's worthy of living.

This unfortunate side effect of Dazai's and the orphanage director/headmaster's teaching method is likely unintentional, as both probably only focused on the intended outcome of strengthening akutagawa/atsushi.

so anyway idk how to end this so yeah. tldr cannibalism stageplay pointed out the parallel between atsushi's relationship with his orphanage director/headmaster vs akutagawa's relationship with dazai. as such, it helps give really interesting insight on why dazai treated aku that way.

#wait does this mean dazai sees himself as like. akutagawa's (really shitty and lowkey deadbeat) father #soukoku both knowing that what dazai did was shitty and that aku shouldnt forgive him vs aku who still lowkey idolizes him #though its possible through his resentment that his idolization has somewhat faded in dazai's time away #the stuff under the cut is lowkey just me spitballing #dazai osamu #akutagawa ryuunosuke #atsushi nakajima #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd dazai #bsd akutagawa #bsd atsushi #i mention chuuya but im not gonna tag him bc it was 1 sentence #bsd analysis #bsd theory

Masc BSD female character HCs!

I know some people don’t like masc version of BSD girls but I think they can be cute T^T

Masc Yosano:

- Has Tattoos but hides it very well. It’ll only be revealed at a beach episode, not even Fukuzawa was aware of it and only Ranpo knew

- Fem Yosano is called the Angel Of Death but Masc Yosano is called the “Unkillable soldier” I think it’s cool. Mori made 12 year old Yosano enter war and heal soldiers spontaneously on battling grounds. Yosano’s first tattoo was when he was 12. The other soldiers gave him a matching Raven tattoo on his collarbone. Hence, the raven symbolises camaraderie. It was also because the war was extremely violent and the soldiers were afraid that their bodies might get mutilated to become beyond unidentifiable after death therefore, the tattoos were identifiers for their families. This tattoo was a reminder to Yosano that he ABSOLUTELY cannot fail to heal his comrades

- He was given a butterfly clip to put over his chest rather than the normal butterfly hair clip

- Yosano was taught that he had to soldier on and stay strong and although he wanted to let his comrades die and stop healing them, he couldn’t bare losing his friends and seeing the tattoo become the only memory he has of them

- The soldiers spoke highly of Yosano because he’s a trained fighter as well hence, unkillable soldier

- Overtime, Yosano just got a bunch of tattoos for fun but it was mostly to cover up his scarring. He healed himself so many times that scars were left behind

- Yosano is handsome. DEFINITELY. Him and Dazai are ADA whores

- In general, Yosano is protective of all the girls in the ADA but he’s fully aware that they could protect themselves

- He respects women incredibly. If there was a crossover between genderbend BSD and normal BSD their interactions would be:

Masc Yosano : don’t worry, my subordinates are going to save us

Kajii: aren’t your agency mostly girls?

Masc Yosano : So? You’ve never met the women in my life. They can kick ass pretty well

- Yosano would bend down on one knee while the ADA girls seat on chairs whenever he talks to them (that one Nanami scene from JJK)

- I know Yosano is probably sadistic but i vision that he’s gentle with the girls. He might tease them a lot with sadistic remarks but he makes sure not to cause them pain. He only ever hurt his patients if they’re men because he finds it fun

(I know what you are Yosano. 👁️ 👁️)

- Yosano and Dazai are definitely fuck buddies. I don’t make the rules

Masc Kyōka:

- Quiet and expressionless like our normal Kyōka

- he has a very soft and feminine face so Mori would usually dress him up in kimonos to seduce the enemies

- likes bunnies and finds them cute, he’s not ashamed of that

- eats two times more than normal Kyōka does LOL rip Atsushi’s wallet

- Fukuzawa teaches him how to fight with a wooden sword in hopes of shaping Kyōka into a swordsmen

- Kyōka use to be scared of older women because of Akutagawa so he got a culture shock when he met Atsushi who’s so sweet and nice

- Kyōka sleeps in the closet while Atsushi sleeps on the futon!

- Kyōka passes by random hello Kitty stores and buy things for Atsushi (yes Fem Atsushi LOVES hello Kitty, she has a shrine of Hello Kitties at home)

- Yosano and Kyōka are very close! Yosano exercises with Kyōka every morning. Yosano was the one who taught Kyōka how to tie his tie, polish his shoe, shave his facial hair, fix a leaking pipe etc. THEY’RE SO CUTE I SWEAR.

- Kyōka learnt knitting for Atsushi

Masc Lucy:

- Definitely made Atsushi cry and regretted it afterwards

- Always screaming at people who block the entrance to the cafe

- The coffee owner loves him because he helps carry the heavy coffee bean bags

- has messy short hair with random short braids. He loves to braid hair

- gets into fights with Kyōka

- not a fighter but still an asset to the agency

- lowkey enemy to all women but not in a playboy manner, he’s just super mean to everyone, even girls

- went on a ‘date’ with Atsushi once and he showed up in T shirt and pants (horrifyingly)

- blushes and stutters lot around Atsushi

- Ever since he joined the coffee shop man and left the guild, he’s been putting more effort into his appearance like keeping his hair neat and trying to smile

- fishlens victim.

Masc Higuchi

- HIMBO. HIMBO.

- super skilled fighter but he’s actually clumsy. He would definitely pretend to dramatically faint in Gin’s arms

- hopeless romantic

- he dresses really well. Higuchi is actually really good looking at first glance but his obsession with Akutagawa and his clumsiness is a turn off for most women

- Initially, Higuchi was insecure that he was without ability which makes him “weaker” compared to Chuuya and Akutagawa(blah blah masculinity) and he often questions his place in the mafia but he soon accepted his circumstances and was proud to know strong ass women

- Higuchi is blunt but despite that, he’s a really good bodyguard and he has quite high battle iq but it can be overwhelmed by his impulsiveness. Mori offend reprimands him and tells him that he is holding himself back and he should start thinking rationally

- he’s the sweetest around Akutagawa, he would get her flowers, chocolates and everything but Akutagawa rejects his advances and gives the gifts to her brother

- Higuchi frequently has a mental breakdown when he loses in a monopoly game. He’s a tad bit crazy if I gotta be honest with you.

- Tachihara persuaded him to invest in stocks and he’s lowkey rich

- Higuchi is the type of man to wear wrongly paired socks and obliterate people in a dance off. Yes, Higuchi can dance

- Higuchi definitely does amateur Tarot reading HAHA IT’LL BE LIKE:

Higuchi : pick a card, Tachihara

tachihara : mmmkay. I got 7 hearts

Higuchi : this means that you’ll have 7 love interests awaiting you

Tachihara : REALLY

higuchi : either that or I swapped my tarot cards with Hirotsu’s poker cards hm…

Masc Gin:

- HOTTEST MAN YOU’LL EVER MEET. He’s so good looking that he attracts both the she’s he’s and they’s.

- of course he’s a strong fighter and assassin but he absolutely refuses to kill younger girls because they remind him too much of his older sister (Fem Akutagawa is small and scrawny so she looks like the younger sibling) Gin is very protective of his sister. Instead, once, when the city was under attack, Gin found a lost young girl crying for her brother so Gin took care of her until he found her family.

- If male Akutagawa met him, he would adore him

- Gin has a very low deep voice but he rarely talks too

- Gin buys cute things for his sister but Akutagawa never appreciates it. Gin would buy Sanrio keychains, dresses, shoes, jewellery and chocolate but Akutagawa doesn’t like it. Gin feels lost sometimes, he just wanted to buy a gift his sister would like

- Gin would comb his sister’s hair whenever she’s feeling unwell and tell her that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever met then Akutagawa would roll her eyes in response

- Akutagawa was the one who took care of them when they lived in the slums. Gin always felt indebted to his sister because his sister endured a lot for him

- One time, Akutagawa REALLY wanted this limited edition earrings because she saw Dazai wearing them but they were out of stock in Yokohama. She was upset but she didn’t show it yet Gin knew so Gin travelled to Osaka just to find it for her

- Gin doesn’t entertain girls who have a crush on him. He doesn’t care much for girls but he still blushes when he finds out someone was interested in him

regarding the post i made here…

a universe where everything is COMPLETELY normal and everyone is living the happy lives they deserve, RIGHTTTTT???

ok great !!

Soooo

The ADA members as not only besties, but journalists. And basically turning the Agency into a newspaper.

Now, idrk how a newspaper is exactly ran and what roles there are blah blah blah and all that stuff… BUT LET ME SAY MY SHIT.

i’m just saying that this newspaper is gonna b silly. Dazai probably has his little drama section where all the shit goes down.

Dazai and Kunikida, reporter and journalist. Dazai dramatically interviewing people involved in drama and rumors— getting them to spill all their nasty little quirks and kunikida having to write it down 2 include in their paper and the shit he is hearing is WILD. 📝😨...

Ranpo is a journalist & Reporter and he’s over here getting on missing person cases, crime scenes, and all these in depth analysis/investigations that make ppl reading stop, and say, “now wait a god damn minute..”

Yosanoooooo… I wanna say she used to work in the paper a lot when she was younger. Then she went off to medical school 2 go be a doctor and now she’s the best one in the city. Despite her busy schedule, she still finds time to hangout with her paper pookies and add her own little medical mumbles section advising ppl not to do dumb stuff (indirectly shitting on how stupid people are because they’re fr walking into the hospital saying they got hit by 5 cars, shot in the chest 7x, attacked by rabid squirrels, and ate glass all in the same day.)

Naomi and Tanizaki r photographers. Getting all the best angles, shots, and all that crispy quality. You’d catch them out in public in the most jaw dropping positions just 2 get a certain shot. There’s a food section in the paper so you better believe they’re getting the most toe crunching pics of that.

Kenji also hangs out a lot with the paper folk, he’s still going to school, and he works in a farmers market w his fam, but he ALSO submits stories to be featured in the newspaper and it varies from stuff abt the market, farms, animals, and good natured things because kenji is an amazing positivity spreader. He’s totes thinking abt starting an internship .

Atsushi is one of the newer recruits. A journalist who’s still taking on small stories but don’t worry!!! One of them will b big eventually 😈 he was also trained under Dazai, so you KNOW something big is gonna come 4 him.

we’re gonna pretend that sigma got his happy ending in s5 and joined the ADA ☹️☹️☹️

Kyouka and Sigma r likeeeeee the internships. I read that some organizations allow 14 y/o interns so 🥰 let’s pretend that sigma is of age and around akutagawa’s and Atsushi’s age becauze I SAID SO.

WE CANT FORGET THAT FUKUZAWA OWNS THÉ PAPER ‼️‼️🗣🗣💥

Anhwahs not only r they a super cool newspaper for Yokohama but they’re each others BEST FRIENDS.

like they’re happy to go to work

i mean dazai is still a emo little freak but idc

IMAGINE WAKING UP IN THE MORNING AND BEING HAPPY TO GO TO WORK BC U GET TO C THE PEOPLE YOU GET TO BE STUPID AND SILLY WITH.

Fukuzawa is actually their dad (not clickbait) and he loves all of them because they’re his kids. (that’s why they get away w half the shit they do)

anhwahs thanks for coming to my chat. 😛

Hi!! Gin for the ask game?

Yay Gin!!!

Favorite thing about them: Oh man there's not much to talk about in canon outside of the oc I made from them. But I still think they're very cool!! I also find them felling affection for Ryuunosuke to be very sweet, they're the only character in the whole series together with Higuchi who's ever shown to genuinely care about him.

Least favorite thing about them: How they weren't given a personality outside of “Akutagawa's sister”. Like, I love Gin, but being honest, it's more of loving the character I built pretty much from scratch for them in my mind, because canon literally never gave them a personality. Also, I don't like the voice actor choice for them… I don't know if I'm being conservative with this, but I find that kind of hyperfemininity they're depicted having sometimes (their high-pitched voice, the onsen scene in Wan) pretty stereotypical, that taste of “all tough girls deep down actually want to be delicate and femminine” from old medias I don't really vibe with.

Favorite line:

This one, because it's funny, and specifically because it's a non-verbal line. I like the idea of Gin using their sword more than they use their mouth.

brOTP: Look, I'm weak for siblings dynamics. They're always my favourite thing. I don't remember ever having an hyperfixation that didn't include siblings dynamics. I love love love the Gin / Ryuunosuke relationship and could talk about them for days. ALSO the Black Lizard in general I've already talked about them here I care so much about them. I really like tachigin platonically too. And I like Gin's dynamics with Higuchi, I actually like them better platonically.

OTP: I dig everything tachigin, I really like them and the “I'm not who I say I am but you know me better than myself even though you don't know my true identity” deal they have going on. I also like the idea of Gin and Naomi 👀👀👀 talkative gf x gf who's never said a word their whole life. Also my personal crack ship Gin × Paula ThePromisedNeverland

nOTP: ... I don't really dig higu/gin. Higu/gin friends, please forgive me. I just think that starting dating the person your brother has repeatedly abused would be super awkward, and I don't think I really like the idea of Higuchi basically dating Ryuunosuke's sister as rebound guy. Also it's just a thing with me and not being a fan of vanilla / sugar spice and everything nice wlw ships. I do acknowledge they have their fair share of scenes together and that they're perfect to be interpreted romantically!! The latest volume 23 omake especially, it can perfectly be taken as romantic. It's just not something that does it for me, and tbh I like them better with having a kind of sisters dynamics, with Higuchi being this kind of very exuberant and silly self-assigned older sister and Gin who just likes her and enjoys hanging out with her.

Random headcanon: Oh boy, may I introduce you to my Gin brainrot. I really have so many ideas about them. Apart from what I've already mentioned, I really like the idea of them having selective mutism, especially as it's shown in Wan. I don't think they're someone to talk in general. The Akutagawas household must be death silent 24/7 lol.

Unpopular opinion: I just wish people would give them more flaws. I'ver read my fair share of Gin fics, and in all of them they're always this kind of sassy / funny / witty / pretty / confident / charismatic / overall perfect person. As result, I find them quite boring to read, and they particularly pale in comparison to Ryuunosuke; especially since at least for me it's his flaws that make him such a compelling character. I wish we'd extend some of his flaws to Gin too. They're bad at communication and expressing their feelings. They're aggressive and pessimistic. Idk, anything that makes them a little more human.

Song i associate with them: How To World Domination by Neru. Just the overall imaginary it evokes of two siblings close in age fighting together in a world that is both violent and war-ridden, and terribly domestic and mundane. The feeling of being lonely together. Them both fighting to become a better version of themselves, a kinder version of themselves, even, before my heart grows numb from the cold. This song really is one that always evokes the Akutagawa siblings in my mind whenever it comes on shuffle. Also, Re-education by Neru, for similar reasons.

Favorite picture of them:

Favourite panel from the manga:

Favourite illustration:

Favourite illustration in the anime art style:

Favourite Mayoi card: (Band Gin you will always be famous)

Send me a character?

#gin akutagawa #bsd #mine #people asks me stuff #Thank you for asking!! <33
