Narumitsu Week Day 6, Longing

[siren/pirate au] "greeting"

Can't believe sskk killed all the other ships in the last chapter, wow

the bad bitch i pulled by being pathetic

Can we talk about how *safe* Atsushi and Akutagawa feel with each other

How much they're connected to each other is actually insane

They have innate trust with each other (Akutagawa even gave his coat to Atsushi), and they're comfortable with each other, it's wonderful

I think the best depiction of canon "domestic sskk" per se, is in beast

The direct passage from the beast light novel is:

"They continued to shoot the breeze for the next few minutes or so. Both boys shared small yet profound experiences that their colleagues would never be able to understand or even empathize with. The two of them could just be kids, something they seldom did around others.

'This is the first time I've ever been able to talk to someone like this,' the white-haired boy said with a chuckle."

They can relate to each other so strongly, they're opposites yet they feel intertwined. God they have such a well written and like at this point really romantic relationship

I really like how beast can show us a new perspective on sskk (among other things in the Bsd universe), comparing their first meeting in the main series to their first meeting in beast is kinda crazy. When Akutagawa nor Atsushi has the prior information of who they work for, they can get along. In a world with no abilities, no Mafia, no detective agency, they would know each other so well

Also, I'm sure Akutagawa has smiled more than twice in the series, but both most memorable times he's smiled they were both directed at Atsushi (one smile was the one he gave Atsushi while he told him to run before dying, second smile was in beast, shown in the picture above)

It's like Atsushi brings out the best of him, and vice versa. They're just so *perfect* for each other 😭

I will always love their parallels and similarities, their relationship balance is a perfect representation of the yin and yang

Atsushi knows he can't bear to live without Akutagawa. Akutagawa knows that Atsushi is the only person he's ever met who really, truly understands him. And no matter how much they're in denial about how they're a lot more than just "rivals", they still scream each other's names when one of them gets hurt, because they both *care*

Akutagawa is definitely going to go feral in the next chapter or so oml

I keep forgetting to post here </3

Been trying to translate the beast art style into an animation friendly version....For animation, if I get that far... If not it's still a fun activity.

Bsd beast is so good in so many ways, but i think my favorite thing about it is the way it reveals aspects of the characters in the main universe we otherwise wouldn't get to see.

So some things i loved learning from beast in no particular order:

Akutagawa has resting bitch face. Does he want to kill you? Probably. But even when he's not being described from atsushis's perspective, even when he's just talking neutrally, his face looks pissed off and bloodthirsty enough that tanizaki is scared of him.

I always thought that it was dazai that drove kunikida insane (and he does. on purpose.), and that if he was partnered with someone else he'd be a bit less high strung. but in beast we see him partnered with both oda and aku. And guess what? That man is on the end of his tether no matter who his partner is. kunikida is doomed to be exasperated by his coworkers. Someone give this guy some xanax or something.

Aku and atsushi would probably be really close under different circumstances. The way they immediately clicked and were able to bond so quickly was so nice to see. Them opening up to each other and laughing together was muaaah *chef's kiss* (Asagiri make this canon in the main manga and my life is yours)

Even in a timeline where they are both dealt a terrible hand in life, atsushi and kyouka manage to find each other. This is a world where atsushi never saved her from the mafia; this is a world where atsushi never found meaning in saving others, a world where kyouka never found out she could live in the light. And yet. They're together and care for each other. Still.

How important gin is to akutagawa. They don't have many interactions in the main manga, so it was nice to have them as a focus in beast.

Akutagawa takes his tea with four sugars.

No matter who you are or how tough you think you are, you WILL be scared of yosano.

nahh what wrong with my fnaf brah
