Curate, connect, and discover
When it’s the teen members of the agency who mess up or something, it’s usually Kunikida who talks and lectures them about it. Sometimes the others will join in like Dazai or Yosano and if it’s really serious Fukuzawa will get involved, but it’s generally Kunikida.
But when the senior members of the Agency mess up or something it’s always Fukuzawa who talks to them. The only one who gets a bonus Kunikida lecture with it is Dazai. And it’s always so surreal for the teens to watch them hang their heads theatrically and head to Fukuzawa’s office.
Kunikida’a lectures pretty much always start with "what the hell were you thinking! Oh that’s right, you weren’t!" While Fukuzawa ages like 30 years, sighs heavily into his tea and is just like "I’m not mad, just disappointed."
And yet both end them by offering support and making sure everyone’s okay. Because at the end of the day whatever mistakes were made can’t be changed, what we can do is go forward with what we’ve learned to change what comes next. And all these talks come from a place of concern, of care.
Kunikida put down his tea cup. "How do I know if my words will reach them?" Fukuzawa looked from his protege to the door, gesturing him to open it. Kunikida did so, and was surprised to see Atsushi on the other side. "Oh, erm sorry Kunikida I didn’t realise you guys were busy I can come later." Kunikida shook his head, they were just wrapping up anyway. "What’s wrong Atsushi?" Atsushi went quiet before explaining his issue. "I was going to do it alone but earlier you said to call one of you for help. And Miss Yosano is busy and Ranpo and Dazai are out."
Kunikida nodded "I’m glad you came to me. Go back to your desk, I’ll be there in a minute." Atsushi smiled, relieved and went. "You’ll know" said Fukuzawa, getting Kunikida’s attention. "You’ll know your words have reached them when they come back and ask for your more." He said with a proud smile.
I like to think Kunikida is aroace or at the very least on that spectrum.
This is the hill I will passively sit on as I watch everyone else fight to their deaths.
Dazai is not the type of person who likes to go shopping for himself. (Especially not on his own dime.)
So, he doesn’t normally realize he’s out of shampoo until it’s gone.
When that happens, he just steals some from Kunikida, because Kunikida always has an extra bottle lined up for when he runs out.
But Dazai’s done this so many times now that not only does Kunikida know it’s Dazai, he’s also begun to just buy another extra to keep in his cabinet. Except this one is a brand he picked personally for Dazai, suited for his greasy ass hair and everything.
He never said anything about it.
And although Dazai will never say it out loud, he’s just as grateful as he is amused.
Haven't been able to get these words out of my head. The fact they are the last thing he says. At first, I was just like "Okay, that's a very Kunikida thing to say" but then I put them into context of what just happened.
He'd been impaled and was desperately trying to use his last moments to allow Tanazaki time to escape. He knew he wasn't living after this, so as per his ideals he was going to fight until his last breath to save another life. If he can die in-service of helping someone else survive, that's enough for Kunikida.
And then he hears Atsushi shout his name. Atsushi ran up from behind Amenogozen, Kunikida probably saw him coming as well. He gripped the sword in his chest with the last of his strength to aid Atsushi in whatever way he could.
And Atsushi chose to save Tanizaki. The very thing he'd been trying to do just seconds before.
That why I think he'd smiling here, that's why I think he says his ideals will live on. Not in some abstract way, but in a direct reference to Atsushi, because he was Atsushi's mentor too. From day one, Atsushi has been seeking guidance from Kunikida, even when he didn't know how to give it.
One of the first pieces of advice Kunikida gives Atsushi is to "start thinking what you can do."
And it has been something he's been trying to figure out ever since. What can he do to help those who need it? To be worthy of living?
Both Atsushi and Kunikida want to save people. Both of them have been struggling on how to achieve that this whole time. Saving people isn't just a single action to Kunikida, it's sacrifice, it's taking on a burden, it's knowing you're tied to this person afterwards.
It's knowing you can't always save everyone no matter how much you want to. It's prioritizing saving who can and living with that.
Kunikida knew he couldn't be saved, but he hoped Tanizaki could. When Atsushi chose to leave him and save Tanizaki he following in Kunikida's footsteps.
His ideals will live on, in Atsushi.
Why is god flirting with Kunikida.
Does anyone else remember how at the end of chapter 12 (I think) when Atsushi saved Kyouka and they jumped off the ship, Kunikida told him he did a good job? (Even though he wasn’t conscious to hear it.)
After looking back my brain has come to the conclusion that Kunikida was not just praising Atsushi for saving Kyouka, he was actually praising him for standing up for his ideals, defending himself, and succeeding in what he set out to do. After all, it was a big moment for Atsushi’s character development, and ideals are literally what Kunikida is all about.
Now that I think about it, I fear it is obvious.
Hc that Dazai can be rlly overprotective of people he loves.
Like, you said Kunikida's new shirt doesn't fit him? Okay, Dazai is just going to burn your house but that's okay
⚠️ SPOILER BSD CHAPTER 117⚠️
I need, and when I say I need it's true, for Dazai to be in pure rage when he finds what happened to Kunikida. Like genuinely. Even worse than Junichiro's reaction. He is no longer the Dazai we know, but a mad man on the verge of despair. He is angry that he treats him like this. Him and his ideals? You don't treat him well? Very well, Dazai will take care of you.
Oh boy that'll be crazy
*Just watched inside out.*
Dazai : What emotion controls me the most?
Kunikida : Depression.
Dazai : It's not even—
Kunikida : Depression.
Y'all can call me crazy or whatever, but whenever I think of the female version of Kunikida, I always imagine her like blonde Karina, LIKE THIS :
Why ? Idk. My head likes to play tricks ig
I want Kunikida to have a traumatizing childhood
Yes! This is the best day of his life!

*Valentine's day in Ada*
Dazai: Fufu...no one is giving me chocolate here, how rude. Is my popularity dying?
Kunikida: can you focus on your work then?
Atsushi: what's Valentine's day
Yosano: you give chocolates and other gifts to the person you love
*later*
Atsushi, giving Dazai chocolates: here, for you!
Dazai:....w-h-a-t
Atsushi: Yosano-san said I should give chocolates to the person who I love. But there are so many! So Kyouka-chan and I made chocolates for everyone. Here Kunikida-san!
Kyouka: the glasses one is for you
Kunikida:thanks... I'll keep it
Atsushi: we made a whole bag for Ranpo-san
Ranpo, eyes shining: I love valentine's day
Yosano: these are so cute guys!! Aww
Dazai: excuse me, there's something in my eyes
*Dazai rushes out*
Yosano: did he go to cry?
Naomi: Dazai-san is crying???
Junichiro: now we have seen everything
************************************
Dazai: (spontaneously combusts due to rare emotions)
Just the idea of Atsushi going out of his way to decorate his house for the new years using all the money he has to make Kyouka happy comes into my head----
I do think ever since Kyouka moved in with Atsushi he has changed his lifestyle. He bought new furniture, he makes good food at home and keeps the house warm. Cuz Atsushi is never letting his little sister have anything less than what she deserves.
Kunikida: Atsushi came to get his salary in advance again. Do you want me to check on him?
Fukuzawa: no, don't. It's fine
Kunikida: I hope he's not wasting his money like Dazai does....
Fukuzawa: he doesn't. I know it.
*meanwhile*
Kyouka: you didn't have to buy the bunny plushie, I didn't need it!
Atsushi: of course I had to. It's your Christmas gift.
Kyouka: I don't need gifts. I already have everything
Atsushi: no you don't. I want you to have all the things a little girl should have
Kyouka: I already have you, I didn't need anything else.
Atsushi: *starts crying*
Kyouka: *pat pat* I made some cake big bro, let's eat.
*ADA DURING AN EMERGENCY*
Kunikida: quick where's Dazai, we need him
Kenji: he isn't here, he went home
Tankizaki: let me call him
Kunikida: he's not answering
Ranpo: Osamu has a habit of not answering calls when he's drinking
Yosano: where's Atsushi?
Kunikida: Junichiro and I called him so many times what makes you think Dazai will answer him?
Yosano: cuz he's Atsushi? Everyone is wrapped around his little finger
Kunikida: that's not true---
Atsushi: ---hello, Dazai-san?
Dazai: hey, Atsushi kun~ Why did you call ⊂((・▽・))⊃
Kunikida: .....
How bout that new chapter huh
Dazai: What’s better than having sex with me?
Kunikida: Sanity.
Sigma: My casino.
Chuuya: Wine.
Fyodor: Watching a sinner like you burn.
Atsushi: Not contracting every STD known to man.
Dazai:
Dazai: Damn Atsushi…
Dazai: I’m great at seduction, I’ve had so many lovers I even lost count.
Kunikida: *Not looking up from his computer* Masturbation does not count as having sex.
Dazai: Fuck you Chuuya!
Chuuya:*Not even thinking* Fuck me yourself, mackerel!
Dazai: *Unzips pants* Alright.
Chuuya: *Runs* Fuck no!
Dazai: *Chases him* I’m honoring your request, Chuuya~!
Kunikida: *Sent Dazai to get rid of Chuuya* HOW THE HELL DID THAT WORK?!
Kunikida: *looking through Dazai’s phone* You nicknamed everyone on your phone. How the hell do you know who’s who?
Dazai: I sometimes forget names so what?
Kunikida: Who the hell is “Hot blonde in glasses”?
Dazai: DON’T CALL THA-
*Kunikida’s phone rings*
Dazai:
Kunikida:
Dazai: I love you?
Kunikida: Run.
Dazai: I try to be a good lover.
Chuuya: He got my boss to convince me to dress up like a vampire to trick an anemic bastard into thinking I was on his side. He then proceeded to try and drown me with said bastard.
Dazai: Yeah well you shot me.
Kunikida: WHY ARE YOU TWO IN MY APARTMENT?! ITS 3 AM IN THE MORNING!
Dazai: I yearn for the urn
Kunikida: Who says you’re being cremated? I’m throwing you in the nearest dumpster when you die.

Link to the video:
*Dazai losing his mind over Fyodor being alive*
Chuuya: boy you gotta chill, we can catch him again
Dazai: we NEVER caught him in the first place!
Chuuya: Don't worry we will find him and catch him this time. The rest are fighting too they'll be okay.
Dazai: I CAN'T STAY CALM RIGHT NOW CHUUYA
Chuuya: who are you so worried about??
*sometime in the past*
Dazai: why are you always worried about things, it's not good to be this anxious
Atsushi: it took me a long time to find a family, I feel scared of losing them
Dazai, caught off-guard: losing? You will never lose us. We are the sticking kind
Atsushi: what will I do if I am alone ounce again?
Dazai: if it makes you feel better even if everyone else is gone, you will always have me

Chuuya: you mean your enemy?
Nikolai: it's the same thing
Dazai, to himself: don't worry Atsushi-kun I'll come back. Stay strong. Kunikida will be with you until then.
NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS I will always love Skk, you can't make me hate them, never!!!!
I was going to add RanPoe too but I have never really seen people actively hating on that ship. Most people love it or are neutral but I rarely see anyone hating it!
We all have a ship that's so popular that people often call it overrated. What's yours?
Dazai: psk psk...Atsushi-kun....show me your paper
Atsushi: I can't! I don't want to get caught!
Dazai: oh come on! I don't even know these squiggly lines, is this English? Who the fuck uses cursive?
Ranpo: I am not even answering these questions, I am too smart for this
Yosano: if you are not answering, whom will I copy from?
Dazai: Can anyone help me? I don't even know what subject this is!
Akutagawa: I'll help you Dazai-san, take my paper
Dazai: NOT YOU Akutagawa!
Akutagawa: *sad Akutagawa noises*
Higuchi: don't worry, Akutagawa Senpai! I will look at your answers!
Akutagawa: NOT YOU Higuchi
Higuchi: *sad Higuchi noises*
Gin: those are some nice drawings Tachihara!
Tachihara: thanks, I can't write answers, might as well doodle
Chuuya, diligently writing answers: CAN YOU ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP?
Kunikida, hitting Chuuya with a duster: Negative five points to Nakahara for cheating
Chuuya: WTF I WASN'T EVEN----
Kunikida: make it ten
Dazai: *laughing in the back*
Kunikida: and a Negative 100 for Dazai
Atsushi: that means he will get a 0?
Ranpo: looking at his answers, he is probably gonna get a -110, ten marks cut for bad handwriting
(I thought of this headcanon last night, Kunikida, as a former teacher gives the ADA and PM joint night tutoring classes. I didn't add the Tanazaki's cuz since they are highschoolers, they haven't missed basic education, hopefully)
(yes, Yosano is a Dr. and all, but is she a medical professional for real or they call her that because she is a healer? IDK?)
Coming out today as a Kunikida x Yosano shipper
I think those two have the possibility of being a power couple 👑💖
Ps: Kousano and Kunizai shippers Plz don't come for me 🙏😇
*Atsushi got drunk during a new year's party*
Atsushi: I have been here for some time now. And all this time I have been repressing my feelings to not hurt anyone. But I want to speak my mind today
Dazai: cheers! Atsushi-kun! Say whatever you want, no-one would stop you
Atsushi, coughs: ahem ahem...okay. Kunikida-San, you were a math teacher. BOOM ROASTED
Kunikida: *spit's his drink out*
Atsushi: Dazai-san, you have 1000 ex's, nobody wants to stay with you. BOOM ROASTED.
Dazai, chuckles: that was a good one
Atsushi: Chuuya-san, you are 5'3. BOOM ROASTED.
Chuuya: WHAT THE FUCK YOU SAID KID?
Dazai: this is hilarious
Atsushi: Akutagawa, you look like a malnourished Victorian child who likes hot-topic. BOOM ROASTED.
Akutagawa: Jinko, when I get to you!
Atsushi: Ranpo-san, you are a glorified man-child. BOOM ROASTED.
Ranpo, eating dino nuggies: I won't deny
Atsushi: Yosano-sensei....you literally save our lives, I can't say anything bad about you
Yosano: awwww
Chuuya: that's a bit unfair!
Atsushi: Poe-san, you are a simp. BOOM ROASTED.
Poe, watching everything hiding behind a door: y-you actually noticed me, I am flattered!
Atsushi, takes a deep breath: Fukuzawa-san....you spend most of the ADA budget on cat food. I actually agree with that.
Fukuzawa: *nods gravely*
Atsushi: and...Junichiro-kun....you and your sister....do I have to say it? You two are fuc---
Kunikida, drags Atsushi out of the room: that was enough drinking for you!!!!!
*the next morning*
Dazai: I didn't know you had all of this sass inside you!!! That was amazing. You should do it more~
Atsushi, horrified, hiding his face:......I SAID WHAT????
