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
"and then..."
AND THEN WHAT AKUTAGAWA
YOU REALIZED YOU DIDN'T HATE HIM? YOU REALIZED HE MEANT THE WORLD TO YOU? YOU REALIZED HE VALUED YOU? YOU REALIZED YOU CARED ABOUT HIM? YOU REALIZED THAT HE WAS YOUR EQUAL?
oh my god chapter 122 is killing me it's amazing
If the actual end of the sentence is "and then I realized I love him" I WILL LOSE MY SHIT.
"Ao3 should allow multiple kudos" "I want to be able to leave more than one kudos"

Real talk with sskk reunion, I want Akutagawa to see Atsushi, his eyes widen, and Atsushi awkwardly tries to say "I'm back..." but is interrupted by Akutagawa tackling him in a hug, knocking them both to the ground. He buries his face in Atsushi's neck, and it's the first time we see him cry.
Atsushi sits there in shock for a moment, before relaxing into it and reaching up to run his fingers through Akutagawa's hair, before repeating, softer this time, "I'm back."
random screenshots I took while watching Over the Garden Wall (spoilers for otgw lol):
Technically a redraw of an official beast art that Harukawa did (you can find it in the beast light novel) but I altered it by kinda a lot
I'm fond of drawing Bsd characters in my style but for this specific art I thought it'd look better if I leaned more into Harukawa's original style<3 you can still see bits of my style peeking through lol
Atsushi's beast design though UGH IT'S SO GOOD
And yes the angel wings are supposed to look messy, in a contrast to how put together Atsushi himself looks, his white angel wings/his morals on the inside are messy and not as clean :D
EXACTLY. Legit my two favorite things put together, it's wonderful
Ok so my absolute favorite thing is anything Taylor Swift paired with BSD, I literally love it so much
You could've been getting down to this sick beat!
Akutagawa, that's kinda sus
