If This Was a Movie by Taylor Swift fits sskk and I would like to say why ๐
If anything, it fits them double now, due to chapter 121.5, and it would *so* be from Atsushi's pov after Akutagawa died in their fight against Fukuchi, but it could also be from Akutagawa's pov
"Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reaching
Even though I know you're not there" THAT IS SO SO THEM ๐ญ like it just fits Atsushi's mourning after Akutagawa died (and the six months lyric is just perfection)
"I was playing back a thousand memories, baby
Thinking 'bout everything we've been through
Maybe I've been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you" Atsushi reminiscing and thinking back to the fight with Fukuchi is very well described with these lyricsย
"Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out"
Just the whole entire song is so similar to them. The pain, the loss, the heartbreak. Everything Atsushi regrets, everything that haunts him about Akutagawa's death. All his hopes that Akutagawa could come back (thankfully he did but then l m a o Atsushi had to go and die โข-โข)
Sskk makes me unwell I love them so much ๐ anyways I was just obsessing over this song and realized it fit sskk to a painful degree lmaoย
short time ago the unfortunate thought came to me that if by some chance Atsulucy for Canon, it would be disrespectful to ship Shin soukoku, Because it would be disrespectful to the asagiri's choice to make them Canon. or else asagiri could say that he doesn't like people shipping Shin So I would automatically be the one forced to stop shipping my comfort ship.Do you agree that someday Asagiri would do this or that if Atsulucy is Canon we should stop shipping Shin Soukoku?
Well Asagiri said he "doesn't want to disrespect the real life authors" but I feel like that isn't true (or at least, Asagiri does want to respect them but just doesn't really), because I mean, in Bsd half the authors are murderers and terrorists and do so many horrible things, plus Higuchi was a real author and she's in love with Akutagawa (I do not support Akuhigu I think it's a horribly toxic ship)
It's definitely respect in terms of Asagiri isn't bashing on the actual authors, but he's allowed to do whatever he wants with *his* characters and wow, he makes them pretty messed up
Bsd isn't a romance series so I highly doubt Atsulucy would ever be canon; plus people really over exaggerate her and Atsushi's relationship. They're not even that close, Atsushi has extreme trust issues and I don't think Lucy has feelings for him, she's just grateful for him. Their relationship isn't "specially romantic" or anything, if Lucy was hypothetically replaced with Louisa, or Mark, or someone else from the Guild, Atsushi would still save them. He didn't save Lucy because their relationship was something special it was because she was technically innocent and Atsushi tries to save as many lives as he can. I just really think Atsulucy from like, a romantic pov, has very little development. Idk why people actually ship it, saying "it's cute" isn't really grounds for a relationship (I am not judging ofc, people can have their own opinions and I'll let them be I'm just saying imo Atsulucy is pretty darn nonsensical)
And there are lots of fandoms where a ship is canon and people still ship other ships. Let's take Naruto for example (spoilers for Naruto), Sasuke and Sakura end up getting married but the majority of Naruto fans do *not* ship Sasusaku
I think if Atsulucy or a different ship than Sskk became canon, it would be perfectly fine to still ship Sskk, it's the most popular ship for both Atsushi and Akutagawa so I doubt people would just abandon it for the canon ship
If Atsulucy became canon I wouldn't start shipping Atsulucy nor would I stop shipping Sskk, Sskk is dear to my heart and I'm very devoted to the relationship and dynamic they have (also on regards to Asagiri hypothetically stating that he doesn't want his fans to ship Shin Soukoku, I reallyyy doubt that. I'm 99% sure Sskk was originally supposed to be canon, plus Asagiri would never say anything like that to his fans, it's just plain rude. And nor do I think it would be "disrespect" to Asagiri for shipping Sskk, it's just a ship/opinion, there's nothing wrong with that. People shouldn't have to change their minds about a ship just because the creator made some other ship canon)
But that's just my opinion lol
A little sskk comic/manga redraws inspired by the song Red by Taylor Swift<33
The grey Atsushi is my favorite tbh idk I think his expression is really silly
It's a sskk fanfic competition and your opponent is Asagiri Kafka, who has written:
sskk riding each other
sskk biting each other's neck
sskk having romantic dates on huge ships
Coffee shop!AU
... where sskk try to kill each other in said coffee shop
Inverted!AU
Knight!Akutagawa
"Just the two of us?"/"Do we need any more?"
"Away with you, you fool."
And more to come.
You are not winning.

This. This is why I love Sskk shippers and the Sskk community
Chapter 121.5 as told by people's reactions from the activity page. Lives were changed
thinking about this forever btw.
If my future boyfriend doesn't propose to me with some variation of "will you marry me, you fool" I'm not saying yes
Made a rushed fanart for Chuuya because it's his birthday :>
I did 16yo Chuuya so it could be his sweet sixteen lmao
fic planning be like:
You know
Sometimes I just love to read a happy sskk fic
Like, I love when their relationship is angsty or messy or complicated, because that is how it is! But sometimes the hurt gets too painful and I adore how tragic they are but I need happiness
Sskk may not be the softest ship, but it's so refreshing to just read a fic where things are...peaceful. There's no miscommunication, there's no death, there's no tears or despair. It's the aftermath, where Atsushi and Akutagawa have learned to love each other without fear
Where they're together and they're happy, where they can wake up next to each other and walk around the city together and give each other goodbye kisses that aren't actually goodbye
When everything's okay
And sometimes, things are so happy it makes you sad anyway. It makes you sad that Sskk is happy together because you know it isn't true, so while it soothes your soul with the fortune, it also reminds you of canon Sskk and how many doors that they can't walk through
I truly do love the heavy, angsty Sskk fics with all the heartbreak and anguish and forbidden, confusing love that they have with each other. But the fics where they're together, and they have sweet nothings shared between each other is also so wonderful, where things are soft and magical and it's all okay still have a place in my heart
I love the perspectives of their relationship from both sides
