what are your opinions on ch14? its one of my fav chapters tbqh so im curious to know why u didnt like it initially and what changed

Thank you for this question! Writing down your thoughts is always fun eheh. Predictable negativity on bsd storytelling and Higuchi characterization under the cut, so please don't read if that's something possible to ruin your mood!!

So here's the thing. We need a bit of context first. Okay, you might know I'm not a big fan of bsd's poor female characters writing in general. My first contact with chapter 14 was when I was watching the bsd anime for the first time. Higuchi is introduced as this woman who is very cool!!! She lured the main character into a trap, pulled out these massive riffles and started shooting everywhere. It was nice. Then, she's badly mistreated by Akutagawa, and it's gross; Higuchi's relationship with Akutagawa is so fucked up. And then the following episode 11 (that is the corresponding of chapter 14) is all about it, about Higuchi's fucked up relationship with Akutagawa, but like... Romanticizing it? Saying it's good for this woman to stay at her work place where she's made miserable on daily basis?

What's most distasteful isn't the beating up itself from Akutagawa, although that is sure to leave a very bitter taste (after all, as a shonen-ish series, violence is nothing out of the norm); what's highly disturbing is the clear unbalance of power between Higuchi and Akutagawa, or how Higuchi is constantly depicted as being obsessed with Akutagawa while Akutagawa is openly violent with her. And the way he reprimands her! And the way she's clearly distraught at his words- not to mention the countless times it's shown how emotionally hurt she was by him. This kind of stuff is depressing. Because like!! What if we didn't romanticize men hitting their female partners!!!!! The bar is *that* low!!!!!!

And Higuchi is portrayed as being obsessed with Akutagawa. She was willing to die trying to save him, even being aware she alone couldn't do anything to win over an enemy organization... Because apparently dying trying to save him would be better than living without him? Girl, you deserve so much better. The “it's not easy to leave the Port Mafia, but it's not impossible. I've thought about it many times. Yet I didn't, because... ” sentence is sorta implied to refer to the fact that she didn't leave the Port Mafia because she was in love with Akutagawa (Ryuunosuke), right? I interpreted it that way when I first watched the anime, and I still believe it's the phrase's main implication– also because the actual closing sentence “because it's my job” doesn't make any sense, as she's basically saying “I'm not leaving my job because it's my job”; it's evident there's a deeper meaning to it hinting to Higuchi having romantic feelings for Akutagawa (unless... the circular phrase is used to metaphorically express how she's hopelessly stuck in a toxic work environment, but I can hardly imagine the author going such lengths to express a concept they visibly have no interest in developing). Point is, the fact that she's basically saying she's willing to keep working for a job that makes her allegedly unhappy just because she loves a man is... Not great. Besides, Higuchi going “it's my job” at Akutagawa after he asked her sorry like???? Now, after ten months of being into bsd, I can find it vaguely cute, but you can bet the first time I watched it I was like. bestie, beloved, light of my life, your job can NOT be to endure abuse after abuse from your coworker. Get yourself a new job asap, and feel free to deck Akutagawa too while you're at it.

What's nasty about Akutagawa beating Higuchi again isn't the beating itself, as much as Higuchi being obsessed with Akutagawa despite of it, and their whole dynamic never being framed as negative. It would be one thing if the whole situation was framed as toxic but... It's very much not. It's not like the reader is lead to despise Akutagawa for what he does, it's just something that's there. The narrative doesn't look like it's going in a direction of Higuchi emancipating herself either, but rather learning to roll with the abuse thanks to fleeting rewards of acknowledgement which is, once again, gross. It's gross to display a model of woman who would stay in a work place that constantly mistreats and disrespects her because it's worth her abusive crush telling her “I'm sorry” once every blue moon. Hell yeah you are sorry Akutagawa! If Higuchi had chosen to cut off his life support right there I wouldn't find it hard not to consider it rightful and legit on her side. The way they handle Higuchi's character is gloriously catastrophic and there's maybe not a better example of how the author doesn't know how to write women, has literally no clue on... The fact that women are p e o p l e and any sane person would leave such a toxic environment at the first chance. But of course they would rather think any woman would stay stuck with a terrible job if it's for a handsome, brooding guy (bruh??? Bruh???????? Sorta crying right now sorry)

Then again, the issue isn't even the relationship being toxic itself– I mean, it sucks for Higuchi, but one can decide to portray a toxic relationship in fiction. The issue is that it's evidently not intended to be perceived as toxic. Nobody ever sides with Higuchi, or voices the fact that she's evidently being abused; Higuchi easily forgives Akutagawa when he apologizes (it doesn't even count as forgiving because she never was even angry or frustrated at him to begin with what the fuck). Akutagawa hitting Higuchi is even used as a gag and like. What the fuck. Who in the world could ever find it funny. What the fuck.

Tbh when I entered the fandom I was very surprised to find out the cycle of abuse was typically framed like this:

Mori → Dazai → Akutagawa → Kyouka

when after watching the anime I definitely had an idea more of the sorts of:

(Mori) → Dazai → Akutagawa → Higuchi

(Very side note but at this point Mori towards Dazai barely counts as abuse, like what did he even ever do to him? Emotional abuse barely stands too since Dazai is, on admission of Mori himself, extremely hard to manipulate)

I feel like Higuchi and Akutagawa's relationship mirrors a lot what used to be Akutagawa's relationship with Dazai when Dazai was still in the pm, especially in the way both Higuchi and Akutagawa are obsessed with their own senpai and gaining his approval. And honestly, just as I am a firm supporter of Akutagawa growing out of his infatuation for Dazai and never forgiving him for what he's done to him, I also believe Akutagawa doesn't deserve Higuchi's forgiveness and could rot in hell as much as I care (joking, but also, don't hurt Higuchi and then expect to have my sympathy).

Plus, THE WHOLE “this female leader becomes useless and powerless as soon as her talented partner is out of the game” the episode carries through like NNNNGGGHHH biting biting chewing wood then why did you even make her leader in the first place???? Like what's the point???????? The rethoric that women are literally useless without a man?????????? I get that this chapter came out around 2013 but like. C'mon. So did Kill la Kill and Psycho-Pass. C'mon. (Also the “we won't recognize the legitimacy of this woman's authority until she demonstrates she's willing to die / throws herself in a suicide mission” but that's a whole different category of “saving other people's lives gives me permission to keep living” “people can't live unless someone tells them ‘it's okay to go on’ ” bsd fucked up morals this post is already too long to get into)

But like (and here starts the nicer section): time has passed since I watched the episode and read the chapter. I reluctantly grew fonder of both Akutagawa and Higuchi. And despite the fact that everything I've said still stands... Akutagawa did say sorry. We never saw him interact with Higuchi after that, which leaves space to hope he's changed in the way he behaves with her (more likely author has realized how fucked up and nasty the whole thing was and opted to never show them interact again, but eh). And while Akutagawa saying sorry didn't effect me at all when I first watched it, because what he did to Higuchi is unforgivable (that much I still believe)... He still apologized. When I first watched the episode, I didn't care the slightest about Akutagawa– besides despising him for how he treated Higuchi, of course. But as the story unwraps itself, it's hard not to grow sympathetic of him, especially after learning about the Dark Era events / the Heartless Cur events / seeing him act in the Moby Dick fight arc too to an extent. I still firmly believe Higuchi shouldn't forgive him, and I don't either for what he's done to her, but as a reader I at least now have an explanation to why he acted that way towards her, and I can understand him. I can now catch more layers to him saying sorry, the effort it must have took him, the admission of having been wrong (which is a huge thing, like, what other character in this series has ever admitted of being wrong? So many characters believing they're infallible), the real intention of making amends and learn from his mistakes which is... Admittedly nice. I mean, character development is great. Everyone is weak for character development, and Akutagawa's is a huge one. What were before words I would have forcibly shoved back in his throat are now reluctantly heartwarming, because they show an Akutagawa who's willing to change and become a better person. But from Higuchi's point of view, that still doesn't change how much harm and suffering he caused her, you know? That doesn't change the fact Higuchi should never forgive him for what he's done to her, just like Akutagawa is entitled to never forgive Dazai for all the abuse he was perpetrator of. I just overall think one's redemption does require amends to be made, but can't demand forgiveness. Akutagawa's step of apologizing is important and necessary for him to make amends and start to become a better person; but that does not and never will entitle him to Higuchi's forgiveness. I now like that scene some more because it's a big first display of development for Akutagawa's character, and because despite the bad writing I could never dislike Higuchi; I like it because I like to imagine that being a moment of growth for both of them, if I make myself forcibly forget about their displeasing canon characterization. I like it because I now like both characters and, despite rationally thinking they're most likely better off separate ways, it still compells me to imagine them being happy and in good terms together. I like it because Higuchi in Harukawa's art style is so freaking pretty

Mandatory tl;dr: I don't like the chapter because it perpetuates and romanticizes the rethoric of women being destined to be made miserable by a man their whole lives with no chances of getting out, as well as displaying a huge systematic unbalance in Higuchi and Akutagawa's relationship with Higuchi being constantly made weaker and dependent; I like it more now because I got attached to Higuchi and Akutagawa, because it shows a growth of Akutagawa and because I wouldn't be able to hate Higuchi no matter what.

Dear Op‚ you said chapter 14 was one of your favorite chapters so you've probably thought about it longer and way more thoroughly than me‚ and it's possible that after reading this there wasn't a single thing you agreed with. And that's okay!! I hope reading this made you view the chapter from a new perspective even if you ultimately disagree with my takes.

#C'mon like. I love my girl Higuchi. But I love her because she's victim of such awful writing‚ I can't bring myself to hate her.#I love her because every day I wake up and actively tell myself–#“a man's awful writing of female characters won't ever be enough to make me hate a woman”. So like. Yeah #ichiyō higuchi #ryūnosuke akutagawa #bsd #bungou stray dogs #I remember me watching episode x with my friend and she commented “Higuchi? She's such a [sottona]”#which is to say bottom in a derisory‚ derogative way and I was like... Girl you need help ;;;;#Did we seriously become so desensibilized to abuse we can now see it as a joke of some kind? Find it funny? It's depressing.#Idk I guess their dynamics would have been bearable despite the unbalance of power if only they had the minimum decency of–#not having Akutagawa hit Higuchi but like... That's beyond any forgiveness for me sorry very much not sorry.#Seeing it happen repetedly was disgusting for me #There's even a big big factor of cultural context playing a role.#There *is* a long existing history of men abusing women who live with the illusion they could be loved back and it's... Yeah just. Lets not #bsd negativity #people asks me stuff #It's just. It really all goes back to the unbalance of power tbh.#Why is it always the cool brooding overpowered male character with the useless no skill whiner female partner.

Idk if this is going to make any sense, but I always feel like there's something missing when I read thoughts about sskk and it really is the impact Kyouka has on them.

Like, a lot of it is "look at the impact Atsushi and Akutagawa have on each other" and "they are so similar at their cores" which is true! And essential for any bsd partner dynamic! But Kyouka also has commonalities - she has Atsushi's general wonder, simple wants and joys, and desire to be helpful and kind, but also Akutagawa's laser focused objectivity, initial lack of questioning orders, and straightforward ruthlessness when required.

But a lot of the external influence on sskk I see mentioned is Dazai and Chuuya's... which I get, because they're the previous double black, but also Chuuya is very minorly involved by proxy only, and while Dazai undeniably is at the heart of sskk conflict (and it's good to analyze in depth!!!), I feel it's understated how much it was actually Kyouka who kickstarted the development between them - Atsushi was brand-new to the Agency, but saving Kyouka cemented his mindset of proving his worth and also gave him someone to look out for - his position became less fragile from that point on and more permanent. Her mix of kindness and darkness also forces Atsushi in the Guild arc to reassess the idea that people are either "good" or "bad". (He's working on this still, but his judgements are becoming much more nuanced than at the beginning.) And as for Akutagawa... I have a lot of thoughts on their dynamic and how I really don't think there's a whole lot of bad blood there anymore after my all-time favourite scene where they fight in Cannibalism arc - but all I will say is that he legitimately thought what he was doing would make her strong enough to survive, and both Kyouka and Atsushi telling him this is wrong, that people can't live being beaten down like that forces him to reassess his own situation in the Hawthorne and Mitchell fight. (He still has a ways to go, but I seriously hope he eventually realizes that his treatment by Dazai was horribly unnecessary and cruel.)

But what's great is that Atsushi and Akutagawa influence her development too! I don't even need to get into Atsushi's: he believes in her potential and sees her as the young girl she is - not a weapon but a person. She starts off pretty much attached to him and only him, but as time goes on, she starts to adopt a more positive mindset and becomes more confident making decisions as a result of his faith in her. With Akutagawa, she is, like Atsushi, forced to reassess others, especially after he tells her he's glad for her having found that will to live. Kyouka is unable to continue fighting him after that, and I get the sense she saw him as a person there, instead of only the man who harmed her. I also find it really interesting that she has no shame or concern about her mindset aligning much more closely with his, to the point where she'll work with him if necessary.

This is a bit of a mess but really it's one long-winded ramble on how I loved these three working together in Dead Apple and would love to see them working and fighting alongside each other again. I know, I know, this is probably not going to happen because it's supposed to be about sskk as a duo but consider:

They are a trio in my heart.

#the fighting style approach could also be really interesting. sskk relies on atsushi as offense and akutagawa as defense #but this often leaves akutagawa more vulnerable #kyouka is perfectly equipped to be the 'midfielder' in a sense #also if anyone has any good fic recs with these three working together i would love to see it #also also kyouka and akutagawa foil characters real #this whole thing might be one reason why i was a bit disappointed about kyouka's role in beast tbh... like it made sense but also #i think more could've been done with her #but that's a whole different thing that i don't really want to get into #anyways let's analyze all these characters together because foiling abounds:#atsushi lucy sigma tachihara kyouka akutagawa #also they should all hang out i think.#bsd #bsd atsushi #bsd akutagawa #bsd kyouka #shin soukoku #sskk #potentially it could be kyouka who comes across vampire akutagawa and that would be a very interesting confrontation.#fingers crossed because i am fascinated by their dynamic

Was Akutagawa and Atsushi confused at their children because the abilities and looks were flipped? Did they make bets until they saw the abilities getting used?

In AU, children's abilities work like this:

- They inherit one from their parents.

- They inherit a combination of both (if they are compatible).

- They get a totally different one since their parents' abilities are not compatible (Kazuya is this case).

- They do not obtain an ability

The SSKK didn't know what to expect with Yasushi, haha, as it could be case 1, 2 or 4, but the rest (the ADA and PM) placed bets on it. Some claimed that he would get a version of Rashomon and others that he would be a tiger. The people who bet on the tiger (Ranpo, always Ranpo), won.

Akutagawa was not disappointed that Yasushi got a tiger (which I am looking for a name for, I can't decide whether to name it Bai Hu or Haiiro). I got the HC that Akutagawa is fascinated by Atsushi's ability, haha, plus the tiger's healing ensured that his son wouldn't be sickly like him.

With the twins they thought they would also be mini tigers because of their appearance, and they were preparing for all the chaos they went through with Yasushi as a little boy, but, especially Akutagawa, was quite pleased when he saw that the girls had their own Rashomon (which I'll call Tianlong for sure) 🫶

help im leaving tomorrow for an 8 hour plane ride and i need fic recs

I AM SO GLAD U ASKED FJWKDHSJS

okay okay so these are gonna be a mix of skk and sskk but i hope u enjoy :D

1. everything or nothing by well that happened - skk

“College AU where Chuuya finds out that the boy he drunkenly made out with the night of orientation is his new roommate. His arrogant, smug, very straight roommate. And the boys are each convinced the other is trying to ruin their life by making them go absolutely insane.”

i think the most kudosed skk fic on ao3 so not very. underground indie. JDHSJ the writing style isn’t my favourite but the plot is really good and the characterisation. oh my ever loving fuck THE CHARACTERISATION!!! strong nsfw that i’m like 99% sure is quite crucial to the plot though so i’d maybe skip this if ur not comfortable with that!! (the first 6 ish chapters should be mainly fine though for that if ur just wanting smn small and funny)

2. waiting room by srxlee - sskk

“In which the smell of antiseptic becomes familiar, and the feeling doesn't hurt like it used to, yet it aches. Where Ryuunosuke battles his habit of loving that which is fleeting. And now his hand, calloused and bruised, just can’t seem to let go.”

HEKANDHWKS i would die for this fic. it’s absolutely amazingly written like genuinely there are like 6 chapters where my mouth was agape the whole time purely bc of the writing style. the plot is really interesting, and the author deals with illness very very well. it DOES have a happy ending im so proud to announce and it’s overall very very sweet and i love it please read it i beg KDHSJ

3. learn to love by thebackwardsstep - skk

“Dazai pissed in a stranger's car- because screw the bourgeoisie- and now he has a sugar daddy. What the fuck.”

i physically could not tell u a thing about this fic, i read it when i was suffering with the flu BUT from what i do remember it was surprisingly sweet and the main ending conflict is resolved by a bird so JDHAKSH also also also in spite of its name it only has like 2 nsfw scenes in it which are VERY easily skippable and also a scene where dazai dresses up as a girl and they go to a ball :D

4. debatable society by chlovrs - sskk

“Atsushi has always struggled with self-confidence so to boost him up, his friend Dazai convinces him to join their University debate society. It works for a little bit, he makes some friends and is actually able to like, ya know...join in on conversations without shaking like a leaf. But then they start competing with the students from their neighboring University and of course, Akutagawa, the one who is beauty incarnated just loves to fucking argue.”

THIS IS SO CUTE. it’s been a while since i’ve read it but from what i can remember the plot is rlly cute, and sskk’s dynamic is really sweet. the author is also the absolute sweetest person ever and i highly highly recommend leaving a comment or two bc they’re genuinely soso sweet and Will respond KDHAKSH (there IS one nsfw scene but again, very easy to skip and doesn’t affect the plot by any means)

5. thé art of precious scars by run_mello - skk

“Role reversal AU where Dazai is in the Port Mafia and Chuuya is in the Armed Detective Agency.

---

When a famous painting goes missing from the Mori Art Museum, the ADA jumps in to help investigate the case. So Dazai and Chuuya go on a mission together, solve the mystery together, fight enemies together... and somewhere along the line, they fall in love.”

holy ever loving FUCK THIS FIC IS AMAZING. i remember the first thought i had while reading it was “this authors read the irl authors books.” LIKE IT SHOWS SO MCUHF WJDKDH i think my favourite example of this was in i think the first or second chapter when dazai plays the synonym/antonym game from no longer human it’s genuinely really really sick. as well as that the author will occasionally sprinkle in quotes from books and poems and it’s just. very very very cool. the characterisation is phenomenal its so well written very highly recommend !!!

6. chuuya is red hot and dazai is so not by icedlightroast - skk

“Dazai couldn't wrap his brain around it. How could the student population think that Chuuya Nakahara was more attractive than him? And, alright, sure, maybe professors shouldn't get caught up in petty drama. But to Dazai, this wasn't just drama. This was war. A war in which he was not going to lose.”

this made me giggle an abnormal amount. KDHAJS this fic had me kicking my feet back and forth and twirling my hair oml it’s soso cute VERY short but very very cute

BAR LIKE 30 FICS THATS MY REC LIST FJSKS !! hope u enjoyed and have fun on ur trip !!!! :D

BSD SEASON 5 EP 3+4

So, I just watched ep 4 and I forgot to write a thing on my thoughts about the third episode, so I'm gonna do that first and then scream about the new one.

The third episode wasn't bad! Hunting dog Akutagawa looked dope and that imagery with the clock was dope. Also having just a black screen with white scrolling words was a cool decision for the ending, really not letting us have any distractions from what just happened. Still upset that they didn't include them being silly.

Now that that's done we move on to the next episode.

NOOOOOOOOO! GODDAMNIT BONES I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THE AKUTAGAWA SMILE RIGHT AT THE START OF THE NEXT EPISODE! THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD!!! HOW DARE YOU YOU COULDN'T HAVE JUST GIVEN HIM ONE SMILE!!???

But anyways, as FUCKING PISSED, I am about this slaughtering of Akutagawa, the rest of the episode wasn't awful. Tachihara was on some cool hot girl shit, and I'm always happy to see the Black Lizard squad and seeing Hirotsu care about him. Higuchi was beautiful as always and I was happy to see her too, even if it was only for like two minutes.

Back to Tachihara and also the hunting dogs, I feel like they did Tachihara pretty good! Probably could've done better but it wasn't awful! Really hope he ain't perma dead, probably not seeing as Asagiri hates killing off main manga characters, but who knows. The hunting dogs were all delightful, Tecchou looked gorgeous, Suegiku did a bit of gay shit, Teruko displayed her terrible taste in men, all in all they were doing great! Particularly liked that soft family photo that kinda looked like the one of the agency!

(Also, on the subject of the hunting dogs, Fukuchi is so fucking overpowered I hate him.)

And finally, my favorite part of the episode.

BRAM FUCKING STOKER

When I first entered this fandom and heard that Bram Fucking Stoker was a character, I nearly died. Not sure why Bram shocked me more then any of the other authors, such as F Scott Fitz-fucking-gerald, but he did. And seeing him in the anime was an absolute treat! He was so pretty! Seriously why did they make him so pretty? And seeing as they did make him so pretty, why couldn't they have done that to fucking AKUTAGAWA- but I digress. They really did make Bram positively gorgeous tho, and his voice fit him perfectly too! We've found the third thing Bones has spending all their budget on, Dazai, Fukuchi's man-tiddies, and Bram Stoker!

All in all, the sskk shipper in me is dying but as a whole this episode certainly could have been worse! I have no idea what's gonna happen next episode, this might be where Aya shows up? Or maybe the Fukuchi v. Jounno fight? maybe we'll go back to Mersault? I don't know the order of what's gonna happen after so I'm excited to see what happens next. Praying that whatever it is will be adapted well!

#bungou stray dogs #bsd season 5 #bsd akutagawa #bsd tachihara #bsd fukuchi #bsd bram #why couldn't they just let Aku smile!!??#it's not like it would take more money for him to care!!!#also #bram is so babygirl i adore him

Tiktok is hilarious because Asagiri mentioned a what if scenario of Atsushi having been a girl (along with the skk leaving together etc stuff in beast notes) and someone made a viral post claiming he said Atsushi was initially intended to be a woman that Akutagawa fell in love with.

Like dude, the blatant lying aside I dont even ship sskk but what is stopping sskk from still becoming implied canon if that was always the intention when Verlaine and Rimbaud literally exist as an implied thing?

Stuck with you

4. Link your three favorite fics right now

5. What are your fanfic pet peeves? Do they have a huge effect on whether or not you decide to read something?

eh not really a pet peeve but when it’s describing you with she/her pronouns. I prefer it described me as “you...”

10. What’s your favorite fandom, pairing, or character to read fic for?

bsd of course 😏 favorite pairing would be skk or sskk and I read for either of them !!

23. What’s your absolute favorite trope to write?

ohoho 😏 my top 3 would be “both of them shamelessly flirt with each other because they’re whores and then catch feelings” OR “both of them are broken and find love and comfort in each other” OR “enemies to lovers” 😏 yes I’m mentally ill uwu

24. What’s a trope that you’d like to never hear about as long as you live, let alone write?

ehh I don’t have anything against these type of tropes (I don’t even know if it’s considered a trope) but childhood friends to lovers. The characterization almost never fits with me 😭 and too much sexual tension with cock blocking 😡!!

25. Do you listen to music as you write? If possible, link your writing playlist.

I listen to music sometimes while I write, and I don’t have a specific playlist I just shuffle my liked songs !!

34. How much of yourself and your life experiences do you put into your writing? What do you think your readers’ image of you is?

almost all of it. I try to keep it general, but often end up projecting myself onto my work (I’m sure some of you can tell 😅) I think people might see me as someone chaotic, flirty, or horny?? (I’ve been told that 😭)

35. How much has writing fic changed your life?

a lot !! I started writing fan fiction when I was only 11 (it was the worst, and the shittiest) but I think I’ve come a long way <3

36. Are there any fics or fandoms you’re embarrassed to have written or been part of?

nope 😏 my favorite fic that I’ve read was the shrek x dazai one ☺️ I have no shame in it ☺️

37. Give an update on your current WIP - if you don’t have one, give a sneak peek to a title or idea that you have and would like to write.

It’s a song fic, and I’m not sure when I’ll get to writing it but here 😭

39. What’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on?

I think I can describe things really well. I like to think I can characterize pretty good, but that’s my ego talking ☺️

43. Talk about a positive experience with fanfiction or the fanfiction community that you will always remember.

everyday is pretty positive !! I love the fan fiction community here 😏 I’d say my favorite thing is making moots with amazing people <33

44. Rant about something writing related.

can I just say. making headcannons about a character for the sole purpose of making them racist, transphobic, or homophobic, etc is so fucking weird. like I think a while ago, I saw someone headcannon dazai as trans (which is perfectly fine) just to headcannon mori as transphobic, saying “oh, mori would definitely make dazai dress like a girl and call him a girl”—like BITCH shut up ☺️💗 and I’ve seen people headcannon kunikida as an incel or republican like wtf 😄???😄??? please, it’s not funny. It’s just weird that you’re doing that to fictional characters.

WOO that was a lot !! they were so fun to answer tho omg 😖‼️

Nb Atsushi anon here and trans Akutagawa x enby Atsushi,,, brilliant.

Akutagawa is the type of guy to stab anyone who misgenders him whilst Atsushi just insults people instead. Dazai will 100% claim to have taught them both that trying to look like a good ally. Akutagawa has to physically stop Atsushi from punting him into the sun each time

"I did not struggle YEARS with my gender identity for you to go claiming you helped me out. I've known you for a MONTH"

"But I did help out, didn't I? I'd correct people on calling you a boy :("

"I did that?? Myself???" <- gets unsure the longer it goes on until Kunikida is telling Dazai off

"I did Akutagawa's surgeries so I know what I'm talking about actually dearest Atsushi" <- 'physical abuse = surgery' and Yosano would probably be proud of that in some manner

Sskk by default already needs the two of them to grow together but with t4t there's an extra layer of common ground for them that's just as emotional and requires careful maneuvering. I wish I could think of more but I don't have any real sskk brainrot yet unfortunately

Love the idea of transfem Sigma too and please can they catch a break. Asagiri what the fuck. Please. What did Sigma ever do to you whilst you were creating them.

Now an extra added reason as to why they love the casino so much is because transitioning is extremely expensive </3

Sigma whenever they're judged for anything: "God forbid a woman do anything >:("

The ADA, unfolding the entire DOA coin terrorism thing, severely done with everyone's bullshit:

Yeah everything you said!!! It's fun you brought Dazai up because I literally headcanon that one of the three reasons Akutagawa took Dazai's offer to join the pm was specifically being able to transition. Trans Akutagawa is so real to me, please know that every time I'm talking about Akutagawa I'm always considering him trans.

Regarding Atsushi, someone would call him “catboy” and he'd be like “neither, actually”. I've always thought that Atsushi's “not a cat” thing sounds a lot like The Good Place Janet “not a girl” gag, and that itself has major nb swag.

I'm really starting to love transfem Sigma!!!!! In the way “so much has been going on, but as soon as things calm down you can bet transitioning is like, my number one priority” but ALSO what you said about them owning a casino is so spot on!!!! I feel like she'd be a fabulous casino owner, that's where she belongs.

#Praying for you to get a sskk brainrot soon Anon!!!!#(Just kidding of course)#atsushi nakajima #ryūnosuke akutagawa #I know I already brought this up #(in the tags of another post. Why am I always talking in the tags)#but I really like the idea that Akutagawa's voice is so deep because he intentionally trained it to be so deep.#Despite being born with an high pitched voice #sskk #osamu dazai #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd headcanons #people asks me stuff

i don’t want this night to end (like you always did) ➸ auston matthews

idk this popped into my head and i couldn’t wait to write it aksksksks it’s kinda long pero i hope you guys enjoy it!

words: 3345

auston and you have been hooking up for two years every time you’re in toronto visiting your best friend, and he always wants you to stay until morning. so when you get a job in toronto, you want so badly to give it.

warnings: smut, lotta fluff at the end, mutual pining, kinda angsty sskks

PSA this is a song fic so listen to this song while you read this!

find my masterlist here

lowercase intended

girl, I know I don't know you

but your pretty little eyes so blue,

are pulling me in like the moon on your skin

it was your eyes that pulled him in. so bright and so blue that they looked fake. they were. fake, that is. you wanted to try out some colored contacts and the blue ones happened to be in that night. he thought your natural color was more beautiful though, even more enticing than the colored lenses you had been wearing.

you didn't know him well. you’d met auston 2 years ago when you were in town visiting a friend. he was charming and had a voice that could probably convince you to do anything he wanted. one thing led to another and you ended up at his place. and then you left. and when you came back to toronto it happened again. and again. and again. and again. and your visits just happened to line up with when auston wasn't on the road.

and then your friend talked you into applying for jobs in toronto. you got the one you were hoping for. but you didn't tell him. how were you supposed to say “hey auston, we’ve fucked every time i’ve come to toronto and now i conveniently got a job and i’m moving here now”? no. especially not when he asked you to stay, every time. stay the night he would say, like he always did. i can’t. you would say, like you always did. i have an early flight.

i'm so glad you trusted me to slide up on this dusty seat

and let your hair down, and get outta town

you didn't tell auston that this time you were staying for good this time, only sent him a text that said back in town for a little while :), like you always did, that was met with an immediate response. come over? was his response. and you said yes. like you always did. this time though, he met you at the door, wearing sweatpants and tugging on a blue hoodie with a maple leafs logo. you pretended not to notice it, like you always did. you also pretend not to notice the bruise on his bicep, probably from getting checked into the glass. he greeted you with a gentle kiss to your lips, hands cupping your face, one of rings on his car keys on his finger.

“c’mon,” was all he said, before taking your hand and leading you back down to his car, a pickup truck. he opened the door for you - ever a gentleman - and helped you up into the passenger’s seat.

“where we goin, aus?” you hummed when he climbed in next to you. he started the truck and pulled out of the driveway. he’s driving on a main road before he answers you.

“don’t know yet,” he looks over at you. the roads are empty - you came over late, like you always did. “don't have work for tomorrow so m’gonna drive around for a bit, see where the night takes us. that okay?” he leans over to take your hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

“yeah,” you say, “yeah that's definitely okay.”

got the stars comin' out,

over my hood

it’s nearly 11 now, and you know you won't be back at your new apartment - it feels strange to call it home so soon - till early tomorrow morning. auston keeps his fingers tangled with yours when he reaches over to turn on the radio, using his knuckle to push the buttons. he pulls your hand to his lips and presses a soft kiss to the back of your hand, letting your intertwined fingers fall in between the seats.

and all I know now

is it's going good

the silence is comfortable. good. everything was good with you. auston felt relaxed, at peace whenever you came over. even when he got the text that you're in town, it feels like a relief for him to know that you're close. he wishes you would stay with him, stay in toronto even, he'd like to take you out on a proper date. but you wouldn't, and he can't.

he knows he's taking a risk when he glances at you again and says, “i missed you.”

the corners of your mouth curl upwards. “missed you too, aus,” you murmur. this time you're the one to kiss his hand.

you got your hands up,

you're rocking in my truck

you got the radio on,

you're singing every song

a song comes on that you can’t ignore, and you start to sing along, leaning over to turn it up with your free hand. auston can't help the smile that overtakes his face as you belt out the lyrics to some random pop song that came on the radio. and then the next song. and the next.

i'm set on cruise control

i'm slowly losing hold of everything I got

fuck, you're beautiful, he thinks, but he doesn't say it. he keeps his mouth shut, like he always does. if he says things too serious or intense or too emotional that could blow his cover. it could expose him to you. and then you’d know that who he was. (you knew, but you never told him.) and you'd also know that may or may not have stalked your instagram, and almost hit follow one too many times. he refrained from following you, like he always did. (you’d gone private a few months ago, and he mourned the loss of seeing your face every time he missed you.) that given any chance, auston would ask you out, take you out on a date, and maybe ask you to be his girlfriend. it didn't help that you didn't even live in toronto, much less canada. and it definitely didn't help that you were friends - if he could even call your relationship a friendship - with benefits, but only when you were in town.

auston definitely didn't want you know that he wanted you to be around, to always be in town.

you're looking so damn hot

and I don't know what road we're on,

or where we've been from starin' at you

girl, all I know is I don't want this night to end

auston doesn't recognize the street you're on anymore, too busy sneaking glances at you singing along in the moonlight. he’s in trouble, and he knows it. you’re just so beautiful and he's so distracted and never wants you to leave. maybe this way he’ll be with you til morning. just once, he wants to wake up with you next to him.

gonna cuss the morning,

when it comes

'cause I know that the rising sun,

ain't no good for me

'cause you'll have to leave

auston hates mornings. he’s never been a morning person, but he's even less of one when you're around. you usually stay until he falls asleep, curled around you in his bed, and when he opens his eyes in the morning, you're gone and he's left feeling empty and longing.

gonna make the most of every mile

do anything to make your smile,

land on my lips

and get drunk on your kiss

aus parks the car at some viewpoint overlooking the city, he doesn't even know where he is anymore. if you're going to leave again, he's damn well going to make the most of it. get as much of you as you can before you're gone again. you turn to look at him, just as he leans in to kiss you. “missed you,” he mumbles again against your lips. “missed this.” the words register but you're too distracted by his mouth on yours to respond to him.

your lips fit and auston can't help but think that they're made for each other. that you're made for each other. he hates that he's falling so quickly and he barely knows you. but with his mouth on yours, he wants to know you. he wants to know your favorite food and if you hate mushrooms and your starbucks order and if you like pineapple on pizza or not. he wants to know it all.

his left hand comes up to cup your jaw, his right untangling from yours to rest on your thigh. he disconnects your lips a couple times to change the angle or let you catch your breath, but he's so addicted to you, he can't stay away. he deepens the kiss as his hands slides up your thigh, towards the apex of your thighs. you whine softly into his mouth. you want to say touch me, auston but he won't leave your lips long enough for you to get even a word in. your hands card through his hair, tugging at the roots. a groan escapes his throat when give an especially harsh tug.

it’s when you're tugging his shirt over his head that auston releases both of your seatbelts and pulls you into his lap. the moment your seat on top of him he lowers the back of the driver’s seat and pulls you back into him by the back of your neck. you’re clothes come off in a hurry - he needs you.

auston has always given you the option of being on top but you've never taken it. this time, though, it seems like you will. before you can lower yourself onto him, auston’s hands are on your hips, pulling your center towards his face. “aus-” he shushes you before you can say anything.

“wanna taste you,” comes his grunt, and you don't argue. before you can say anything else his mouth is on you. you almost scream at the feeling, his tongue sneaking out do lap at your slit.

“oh fuck auston,” you moan, tangling your fingers in his hair. “fuck don't stop, that feels so good.” auston hums as he seals his lips around you clit and it’s almost embarrassing how close that action brings you to the edge.

auston nips at your swollen bud, and this time you do scream. “fuck! auston!” he does it again and your gasping out, hips grinding into his face. he hums in approval at the action, his hands moving to your ass and guiding you to ride his mouth. what auston doesn't know is that he completely and totally owns you. you’d do anything he asked if he just used that voice, the one he used when you first met. deep and seductive and it made you weak in the knees. and when he was so so good at eating you out like this, treating you right, you almost want to tell him that you're staying, for good this time. and you almost want to ask if maybe he wants to go out for real.

you’re snapped out of your thoughts when auston slides his tongue into you, and you almost cry from how good it feels.

“aus, aus, feels so good, m’so close,” you almost beg.

auston pulls away for just a moment to say, “i got you baby, let go for me.”

it’s not even five seconds later that he pulls your clit into his mouth again and you're thrown over the edge, seeing white. the only things leaving your mouth were his name and broken moans. god, he treated you so so good every time. his tongue guides you through your orgasm, long, soft strokes against your clit until you came down again.

auston places you back in his lap, sitting up so that his chest was against yours. “think you got one more for me honey?” he murmurs against your neck, peppering soft kisses on your throat and shoulder. no visible hickies he remembers you told him. maybe he could leave just one this time. after all, he doesn't know when he’ll see you again and wants to give you something to remember him by. he sucks gently at the spot below your collarbone just at the top of your breast. it isn't a bold mark, just a faint bruise. he knows you feel it because he can hear you let out a sigh of contentment at the feeling.

“want you,” you mumble into his hair. “want you so bad, aus.”

“okay. okay,” he breathes, lifting his head to look you in the eye. “still on the pill?” you nod down at him, leaning down to give him a quick kiss. at least, you intended for it to be quick. he keeps you there, lifting your hips with one hand and lowering you onto his cock with the other. you break the kiss as he inches you down on him.

“fuuuuuuck,” comes your moan. he’s so big and thick and you feel so stretched out. “please, please, aus, fuck.” before you can start to move, auston does. he’s holding you in place with an arm around your waist while he fucks up into you. the moans leaving your mouth are heaven to him, the most beautiful sound he's ever heard. he thrusts even harder when he thinks she’s making those sounds because of me. you cry out at the sharp thrusts, gripping his forearm that’s wrapped around your waist for dear life.

“fuck me, auston, fuck i’m gonna come again, fuck, aus.” the moment the words leave your lips, auston is working even harder to push you over. you’re clenching around him, holding onto him as if it’s the last time (for all you know it very well may be). his other hand comes down to rub your clit with his thumb, and you feel tears well up in your eyes from the overstimulation. you cry out his name again as you come.

the way you clench around him is enough to send auston into his own orgasm. his voice is rough and deep as he says your name, groans muffled by his head buried in your neck. “Y/N, i'm coming, fuck.” you have to push auston’s hand away from your pussy when you both come down, the feeling too sensitive and too painful for you to bear.

auston slips out of you as gently as he can, relishing in the moan that you let out when he seats you back on his thighs.

the clock on the dash,

says 3:35

there's plenty of gas,

and the night's still alive

he glances at the clock, and - 3:35 am - fuck it’s late. aus peppers kisses along your neck and collar bone, humming into your skin. your hand comes up to brush the bruise he left, hissing quietly at the sting.

“aus,” you start.

“i know,” he mumbles, “m’sorry, couldn't help myself.”

you tilt his head up to kiss him. “it’s okay, i like it.” warmth floods auston at your words and he kisses you deeper.

“will you stay?” he says it so quietly you're not sure if you heard him correctly.

“i-” you pause. you live here now, permanently as far as you can see. and maybe this should be the last time you see him, and if you weren't going to see him again then fuck yes you were going to stay. “yeah,” you continue, “yeah, i’ll stay.” you can feel auston’s grin on your lips, and you're almost shocked at how happy you staying through the night would make him.

you got your hands up,

you're rocking in my truck

you got the radio on,

you're singing every song

i'm set on cruise control

i'm slowing losing hold of everything I got

auston lays back down, pulling you down with him to lay on his chest, and curls his arms around you. you start to get sleepy with how comfortable you are and how he’s stroking your hair like that. you wished you could tell him that you were staying for more than just tonight. but it was a bad idea, and you knew it. who were you to date a hockey player? someone who was recognized everywhere he goes in the country of canada, and in most places in the states.

no. no you can’t tell him.

you're looking so damn hot

and I don't know what road we're on,

or where we've been from starin' at you

girl, all I know is I don't want this night to end

as auston slips deeper into sleep he can’t help but think again that he wishes you lived here. that you’d stay longer than just tonight. maybe then you could be a part of his life. permanently.

it’s 2 weeks later that auston sees you again. at least - he thinks he does. he’s drunk out of his mind at some bar or club that he can't even remember the name of and even then he can’t get you out of his head. he sees a flash of your hair, and then a peal of laughter that sounds so much like you. the girl’s eyes widen when she faces him. he thinks that she probably recognizes him, everyone in this goddamn city does.

he stumbles away before he says something he regrets, like calling for you in the middle of a bar. he finally gets outside, gasping for air. your name is the only thing going through his mind. he imagines your face, and your smile, and the smell of your hair, and the way you held onto him when you came 2 weeks ago, in the driver’s seat of his truck overlooking the city.

auston shakes his head, he's had too much to drink and needs to go home.

it’s 3 months after the incident at the bar that he sees you again. this time he’s sober, and so are you. you’re coming out of a starbucks with your friend, facing towards her, when a giant body almost runs you over. you almost drop your drink, barely holding onto the freezing cup as some spills out of the lid that wasn't closed tightly enough.

“oh fuck, i’m so sorry,” a familiar voice says frantically. your blood runs cold. fuck. auston. “i’m really sorry, i didn’t mean t-” he stops, freezing when he looks at you. “Y/N?” his mouth is open in shock.

“auston, hi,” you stutter, “hi-i-uh-”

“why didn't you tell me that you're in town again?” he interrupts you. your friend turns to raise her eyebrows at you, as if to say auston matthews is the guy you’ve been hooking up with?! before touching your arm and walking away, leaving the two of you to talk.

“you didn't tell me you were here,” he repeats, his voice falling into the monotone one he uses in interviews. (yes, you watched some of his interviews.)

“i know,” you look up at him shyly, “well, the thing is, i’m actually, like, i’m in town, um, permanently now?” you blurted out. fuck. you should have lied and said you just landed. but now he knows, and there's no going back.

“what?” a hint of hurt slips through his voice. “permanently? you live here now? since when?”

you look away from him. “i- i was offered a job here almost four months ago and i accepted the offer.” you don't see his eyes darken.

“so the last time we were together?” you nod, refusing to look at him. he probably hates you now. and whatever this thing is that you had going on is over. but he reaches out and tilts your head towards him. “you should’ve told me, baby, i’ve wanted to ask you out for 2 years.”

“you what?” you couldn't believe what you were hearing, auston felt the same?

“you heard me, honey,” aus chuckles, he cups your face, his other hand pulling you in by the waist. he presses a sweet kiss to your lips as your free hand comes up to hold his jaw. once again, you can’t help but think that your lips fit. auston breaks away from you, resting his forehead against yours. “what do you say we give this a shot, hm? me ‘n you? for real this time?”

“yeah,” you smile up at him, “yeah, i’d really like that.”

What was it like when the ship kids found out their abilities? Like what was the fall out and reactions that followed?

Ah, this is something I want to draw in the future, in the meantime I'll answer it! <3 SSKK Lovechild: Yasushi's ability appeared before his first birthday. One day, Atsushi and Ryuunosuke found a tiger cub sleeping in their son's crib. Atsushi was a bit worried (because he didn't have such a good time with his ability in the beginning) and he didn't want Yasushi to inherit his ability. Ryuunosuke would have liked him to have a little Rashomon (which would happen later with the twins), but he accepted it quite well. Just like he calls Atsushi "Jinko", he calls Yasushi "Cub" as an affectionate nickname.

Because his ability appeared so early, Yasushi has a good balance with his tiger side. But it also meant that his parents had to watch out for him as a child, lest he try to climb too high or scratch and bite people.

The appearance of the twins' ability was much simpler, as it manifested itself to help them reach things or prevent them from stumbling. Ryuunosuke and Rashomon were quite pleased with the "little Rashomons". The strength of the Little Rashomons is more than Ryuunosuke's.

As a bonus, all children inherited Atsushi's healing ability, and the girls have heightened senses and can grow small fangs, though not to the same potential as Atsushi or Yasushi. Ranpoe Lovechild: Lenore's is related to something that happened in one of the comics. The Raven came out of nowhere one night and shouted "Nevermore" and trapped Edgar and Ranpo in the ability. Ranpo immediately guessed what it was about and how to get out, but they couldn't catch the Raven for a few hours and couldn't get out of the ability. Lenore didn't help them much either, as she slept through the night, only waking up when her parents managed to catch the raven and show it to her. The only thing she said when she saw it was "it's cute" and went back to sleep. In theory, her ability is always active since the raven follows her everywhere and it is only enough for the raven to shout "Nevermore" for the ability to work <3

SKK Lovechild: Kazuya's ability appeared one afternoon while he was playing with his hundreds of stuffed sheep. I won't go into too much detail, as I'll do that more in the character sheets, but their "appearance" scared him and he ran towards Chuuya. Chuuya was also startled when he saw the manifestation of his ability, and the noise caught Dazai's attention, who apparently undid everything with just a touch. Dazai was the calmest while Kazuya cried because his ability was "ugly" and tried to reassure him that abilities are arbitrary and they can't really choose them, nor do they all have a relation to the abilities of their parents.

Kazuya took the longest time to accept his ability, as it can be considered "deadly", the opposite of his personality and the meaning of his name.

Fyolai Lovechild: Lyubov's reaction is very similar to Kazuya's. Her ability is quite "scary", so it scared her when it first appeared. Nikolai was affected by her ability when it appeared, and Lyubov really hated it when she realized that it hurt his father, but Nikolai calmed her down and told her that it was "good" that her ability was like that (more details in the character sheets I hope to have soon!), because that way she would be "protected" if he wasn't around one day. Anyway, she doesn't like her ability, although she learned how to handle it. Kunibram Lovechild: In the case of the lovechild Kunibram (I haven't decided on a name yet, or if it will be a boy or a girl), the child simply copied what Kunikida was doing in his notebook, and it was activated. Bram was quite happy that his ability was similar to Kunikida's, as he was afraid that his child would meet the same fate as him if the child inherited his ability. Seugiku Lovechild: As soon as the child's ability appeared, they started training him (I think his ability will be similar to Jouno's, but I still have to work out the details). The boy was also scared when it manifested, but he quickly began to learn how to perfect it.

Among the Lovechild, he, Yasushi, Kazuya and Lyubov are the most prepared to use his ability in battle, although only he and Lyubov use it more for that, since their lives have not been as "quiet" as the others.
