Congrats to Yuuto Uemura!
I know I'm over a month late, but he got married!
I wish the voice of Atsushi to continue living the good life!
"Thank you always for your support. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I, Yuuto Uemura, would like to announce that I have gotten married," he said in a handwritten post. "I have been blessed with a new relationship and have resolved to move forward. Although I am still inexperienced, I will never forget my gratitude to everyone and will strive to grow even further as an actor and artist. I would be grateful if you could watch over me warmly. Thank you for your continued support," Uemura continued.

the elusive cat
character(s): atsushi nakajima
summary: atsushi attempts to gain the attention of a cat
It had been two weeks of watching your boyfriend attempt to befriend a local cat. Attempting and failing to befriend would be more accurate, as the striped feline kept dashing away right as he was able to get close to it.
You giggled as it avoided him for the umpteenth time. "C'mon, use your cat senses."
"I don't think that's a thing I can apply here," Atsushi responded. "But I'll try if you think it'll work."
You shook your head at him. "No need, maybe someone at the ADA has some food we can use to lure it in with. Dazai-san has been in that river enough times to have caught some fish, at least."
Although amused at your question, Dazai didn't have any fish on him when you arrived at the ADA building. After a small round of questioning, Fukuzawa agreed to give you some cat treats he had on standby if you promised to take pictures for him.
"I had no idea he liked cats so much," Atsushi commented as you headed back to the area you'd last seen the stray.
"Cats are cute, what's not to love?." You glanced over at him. You would never point out how adorable you found his catlike mannerisms, or how his belt followed him like a tail. He'd be too embarrassed of them if you did.
Despite staying out until evening, the striped cat nor any others would come close enough to pet. You did manage to snap some pictures to show the rest of the ADA later, though. One was of a small black kitten playing with the end of Atsushi's belt that skittered away as soon as he moved, hissing with all its might.
a/n: have this short and cut writing i did as a little warmup. i want to start writing for this fandom soon, and more in general. also yay more cats!!

Double Black (BSD)
I was thinking, right?
Kyouka needs a rival (not narratively, just for fun). Like, there's Chuuya & Dazai and Akutagawa & Atsushi, it's basically family tradition at that point.
Kyouka already has dark hair and a stoic personality, so basically she just needed her bright haired rival/partner with a too powerful ability that they sometimes lose control of. And then I was like. Kenji's right there.
They're not rivals per se, but it fits the dynamics going on here. Imagine Demon Snow and Undefeated By the Rain working together. They'd be scary af, and they don't have the weird tension between them that SKK and SSKK have, so they'd grow more powerful together far quicker and exceed their predecessors.
Honestly, I'm a sucker for Kenji and Kyouka interactions.
(Bonus for the family tradition, Gin's partner could be Tachihara or Higuchi but honestly I feel Tachihara works better. Not sure about losing control of his ability but it's not like Higuchi has one to begin with lmao)
P.S. I know Mori & Fukuzawa were the OG double black or whatever, but I couldn't make an argument for Fukuzawa losing control over his ability.

How do you think Atshi and Dazai's relationship compare to their relationship in beast, i feel like its a topic thats been left behind when talking abt beast
Ooo this is an interesting one.
The relationship between Dazai and Atsushi in BEAST is really interesting already, I love how Asagiri didn't just make it a carbon copy of Dazai and Akutagawa in the main timeline, instead its completely unique but equally fucked up. But comparing it to the main timeline I think it is the best example of just how far BEAST Dazai is willing to go in order to ensure Oda's happiness in that universe, even at the cost of tormenting someone main Dazai really cares about.
First lets look at Dazai and Atsushi's relationship in the main series.
Atsushi has absolute loyalty, love and respect for Dazai in the main series, Dazai was the first person who ever affirmed Atsushi's right to live and might be the first person to ever offer him kindness. Dazai also works as Atsushi's motivation to save Kyouka, he thinks of how Dazai chose to save him even though he would be a massive burden to the ADA, and this gives him the conviction to save Kyouka despite her past.
Dazai is the person who Atsushi always thinks of when he's in a terrible situation, he's who Atsushi wants to run too when he thinks he can't win a fight, in other words he makes Atsushi feel safe something he probably almost never felt in the orphanage where he was abused for anything he did.
(from 55 mintues)
These two pages capture this perfectly
And eventually Atsushi is able to replace visions of the orphanage director (who appeared when he was at his lowest and made him feel like he had no right to live) with Dazai giving him encouragement and the focus to keep going.
On Dazai's end:
I think Atsushi is probably the person who sees Dazai's true suffering better than anyone else alive in the series, even including characters like Chuuya and Ango. Atsushi (very similar to Oda) will often cut through Dazai's jokes and see through to what he is really thinking.
Atsushi is also one of very few characters to openly be kind to Dazai, off the top of my head it's only him and Oda who ever really say nice things about him to his face.
(notice both times Dazai is surprised by this)
Atsushi is even able to pick up a hint of Dazai's past when Dazai talks about mimic in 55 minutes.
So suffice to say, in the main series Dazai and Atsushi are extremely close, both being essentail to the others growth and a person throughout the series, I could probably go on for pages about this but for now let's talk about how BEAST twists this relationship into one of the darkest in the series.
BEAST Atsushi suffers more than almost anyone else thanks to Dazai's plan. Since he can't use Fukuzawa's ability to control Atsushi's ability, he makes Atsushi wear a spiked collar that stabs him in the neck while transformed and uses the pain of that to help Atsushi remain in control of the tiger.
Not to mention that BEAST Atsushi, just like regular Atsushi hates being hurt and hurting others, he is constantly terrified on every mission he is sent on and hates the pain he has to go through each time.
So why is he so loyal to Dazai? Unlike Akutagawa Dazai didn't physically abuse Atsushi until he became dogmatically loyal, he didn't need too, all he had to do was twist the suffering caused by the orphanage director in Atsushi's mind and make it work in his favour.
Trigger warning: Psychological abuse!
This was Dazai's method, give Atsushi an order he knew he would disobey and set things up so it would lead to Atsushi undergoing unimaginable pain and suffering beyond anything Dazai could inflict himself. Dazai twisted that pain in Atsushi's mind into
"This is what it feels like to disobey me"
And since then, Atsushi has been completely incapable of not following Dazai's orders.
Another important factor is that Dazai himself is very friendly with Atsushi, letting him call him "Dazai-san" instead of boss and giving him praise for his work. This just further cements in Atsushi's mind that Dazai is the kind, generous person who tried to help him, which makes him even more loyal to Dazai.
There's a lot more I could go over, but I don't have time right now. Overall I think BEAST really shows just how far Dazai is willing to go to achieve what he wants, the way he treats BEAST Atsushi is incredibly cruel, and then leaving him alone in a world where his only purpose was fulfilling Dazai's orders is another level of cruelty.
