Akutagawa really likes wrapping Rashomon around Atsushi's neck...
(read left to right)
in a dream, on a wave.
So I was reading Wan! on mangadex earlier, and I got to chapter 166. I noticed this panel had two very interesting typos
I know mangadex isn't an official translation ofc, and maybe it was on purpose, but they spelled homicide as homocide. Considering the homo undertones of like, all of Bsd, maybe it was just the translators poking fun at the word lmao, but idk

akutagawa does give a fuck. like. a lot.
he is giving a lot of fucks by the way!!!!!
I didnโt know you had a tumblr!! I love your fics so this is such a treat to find you here <3 your art is super cute!
AAAA HIII :DD
Yeah I never tagged my Tumblr on my ao3 acc lol ๐ญ I might in later fics though
And it's great to meet you too on Tumblr!
Thank you so much<333 that means a lot to me (โ ย โ โโ โฟโ โโ ย โ )โ โก
I have a hunch that Asagiri and Harukawa replay Akutagawa's death a lot in flashbacks as of late in the manga to justify for Bones' very very horrible adaptation of his death
So who do YOU think did it ๐คจโ๏ธ
tell me about your favorite of your wips. >:)
uhhh
I have a lot I'm fond of and my favorite one is going to be kept a secret because I want to reveal nothing about it until I actually finish writing chapter one ๐
Anyways, one of my other favorites is my wip "I picked the petals, he loves me not"
It's a hanahaki sskk au, where Akutagawa starts coughing up flowers due to a crush on a...certain someone...
But yk, with his lung condition and all that, the hanahaki will probably kill him in like a month or even less
And the hanahaki strikes while Atsushi and Akutagawa are heading back from a mission and then Atsushi gets all worried bc wtf people don't just start vomiting petals everywhere and then Akutagawa has to brush it off like "it's nothing weretiger" when it's very clearly not nothing ๐
Atsushi goes to Ranpo for advice and Ranpo tells him about hanahaki and how it all works. So now Atsushi's determined to save Akutagawa, and saving him requires Akutagawa to confess his feelings to whoever he loves (I wonder who that could be ๐)
Chaos ensues
Also I've had this idea for like at least a year now but my snail of a brain is just like "I'll get to it later"
Also the title is a lyric from the song You're On Your Own, Kid by Taylor Swift
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 ๐ญ
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
