I Don't Think People Are Able To Comprehend How Grateful I Am To Beast Odasaku.

I don't think people are able to comprehend how grateful I am to Beast Odasaku.

No, 'cuz he really is the only person who prioritized Akutagawa since he met him, and I'm so, so, so grateful to him for that. When he stood up for what B! Dazai did to him at the bar, I felt floored. Taken aback. I was like "Finally...finally someone sees this."

Finally someone who will take his side.

I find myself thinking about them two so often. The way Oda was so ready to help him in everything just- I can't handle it.

Not only did Oda take him in and give him like 15 siblings to look after (he wouldn't be lonely anymore), but the way he is quietly supporting Akutagawa in every move??

He sent him to the Agency to get a job that might allow him to find his sister. He then took a three day mission to find the person who took his sister, with next to no information whatsoever.

And the scene at the café!! Kunikida and the others are freaking out over Akutagawa attacking Oda, but Oda is so calm, not even bothered in the slightest, the way a parent wouldn't be bothered if their child started throwing stuff around. He doesn't berate him, or discourage him, or make him think he's weak when he inevitably loses. He just lets Akutagawa quench his curiosity and then quiets him down when he thinks it's enough.

His condition to Akutagawa joining the Agency is basically "go babysit the orphans," which in reality was more like "hey guys, i got you a new big brother, this is Akutagawa," introducing him to his little family. In addition, have you guys seen that one official art where Atsushi is playing with the orphans and Akutagawa?? Like, they're riding on top of him, and Akutagawa is sorta supervising as he does– whose idea was that?? Did Akutagawa walk up to him and be like, "Yeah, you know Mafia's top killer?? The guy who wears a spiked collar so he doesn't lose control and kill people?? You might remember him, he almost bit my head off? Anyways, can he come over?"

And, and!! Speaking of Oda never saying no to him!! He never told Akutagawa to give up on his revenge!! All he did was like "don't let your emotions control you" because they might as well get him killed.

And then you have the training that showed Akutagawa his weak spots, what could happen when he didn't think things through (the bullet through the cieling), making sure Akutagawa understood what he needed to improve, then he praised his strategy?? Took him out for lunch??

Oda literally gave him unconditional love and support, and it makes me fucking sob, because I love them both so goddamn much.
