Bsd Villains Are Like “we Gotta Stop JRR Tolkien And Dr. Seuss Before They Blow Up The Entire City

Higuchi, injured post-mission 😔

Thank you so much for honoring this tour.

Atsushi saw Akutagawa's past. He learned about Akutagawa's trauma. He knows how Akutagawa was treated, how he was taught, what he was put through.

He understands Akutagawa now

He fully sees Akutagawa for his humanity now

Atsushi has seen Akutagawa's darkest, most vulnerable side now

And that's just so...

I can't even put it into words oh my God, their relationship is so complex and heartfelt I'm screaming

I have a feeling that Akutagawa doesn't mind Atsushi seeing his past, seeing him at weakest, lowest point

I think their trust runs deeper than that

Also Akutagawa isn't alone anymore. Nor is Atsushi, because they have each other. Akutagawa has someone who knows and tells him he isn't weak, Atsushi has someone who can be by his side and save him. I feel like without each other they aren't complete

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUUYA MY FAVORITE PORT MAFIA EXECUTIVE<33

I didn't draw Chuuya anything for his birthday sadly 😔 but happy birthday, chibi :]

Lover by Taylor Swift fits sskk imo 

I can't not think of the lyric:

"Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

And ah, take me out, and take me home

You're my, my, my, my

Lover" because of the "take me out" part obviously meaning on a date but also it can be interpreted as assassination in some contexts, and Akutagawa swore to kill Atsushi (as if that's ever gonna happen), but he could also take him on a date lmao 

"And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear

Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?" is a fitting lyric to the dynamic of their relationship about how connected they feel inevitably even if they haven't known each other long (they're soulmates 😔)

"Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?

With every guitar string scar on my handI take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover

My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue

All's well that ends well to end up with you

Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover" the scars lyric, the hearts lyric, everything in this song is just so sweetly sskk (if they started dating, at least)

What kind of engagement ring do you think Akutagawa would buy for Atsushi before proposing

oughh that's a good question that i have an extremely overthought answer for! akutagawa would absolutely get a custom ring made just for him and atsushi. it would be silver, high-quality, with tiny bits of gold, and it would be a band with engravings of a tiger and a dragon on it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AKUTAGAWA

I KNOW HE LOOKS WEIRD IDK WHERE IT WENT WRONG LOL 😭

No idea why I drew BEAST Akutagawa instead of normal Aku but oh well

Happy birthday to my favorite mafioso, gay vampire and wanted criminal<3

Okay so first of all

OH MY GOD?? THE NEW CHAPTER??

Second of all

Did Asagiri really name this chapter "A Mysterious Thing Called The Heart" AND THINK WE WOULDN'T NOTICE

Atsushi died FOR AKUTAGAWA. I'M GONNA PASS OUT

No one does tragic love story like sskk does

Atsushi must have thought about Akutagawa's death over and over and over to remember the words he said to Atsushi right before being killed by Fukuchi, aND THEN HE SAID THOSE FINAL WORDS BACK AT AKUTAGAWA

Akutagawa's eyes says it all (they're in love)

Akutagawa didn't even remember who Atsushi was and what made him remember was Atsushi mirroring the sacrifice he made back on that ship and then right as he recollects who Atsushi is he DIES. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster

Also can we talk we talk about how Akutagawa screamed "Jinko/weretiger". The amount of worry and fear on his face is so evident and insane (thank you Harukawa for more of your gorgeous art). He CARES about Atsushi. I gotta sit down

Screaming crying throwing up I'm so happy and also shit, Atsushi died (sorta. It'll be fine, probably) 🙏

For those of you who may not be too familiar with the manga, during ch39: Portrait of a Father, Akutagawa shows up, as Dazai's informant, to give Atsushi documents about who the orphanage headmaster was and what happened to him.

At that moment, Akutagawa shows an uncharacteristic clemency towards Atsushi, saying that "Atsushi's master died today", and compares this to his own relationship with Dazai.

This was a long time ago now, and a lot has happened since. The Cannibalism arc is right after this, where they are very antagonistic towards each other, and includes this scene:

Akutagawa, despite his bitterness towards Atsushi for who he is to Dazai, has seen how similar they are in this sense. Atsushi hasn't, because his gratefulness towards Dazai prevents him from seeing that Akutagawa's experience was completely different with this same person. (he's also not given any time by the narrative to wonder about it)

but then just came along chapter 122!!!

Atsushi gets to see, 1:1, the relationship between Akutagawa and Dazai. For the first time, Akutagawa is relatable to him.

And of course, at the end, Atsushi calls out the illusion as being the headmaster wearing Dazai's face because we are closing this loop! We are forcing Atsushi to see Akutagawa the same way Akutagawa has been seeing him!

YOU FOOL. AWAY WITH YOU YOU FUCKING FOOL.

the way his eyes widen... ohh waking up from amnesia beacause of remembering your own death and how you said the same shit to your mortal enemy... this is peak fucking romance

i didnt think i could get more absolutely hyperfixated on this ship.. but never mind!!! haha.... hahaa......

i have my head in my hands. geniunely CANNOT do this anymore.

i just wanna talk a lil about the first panel... god atsushi looks stunning. the lidded eyes, the smirk/small smile............. how FOND he looks, how tired.. i literally need it tattooed on my soul. he knew it was a gamble, being cut down by amenogozen- but he still fucking did it for akutagawa, for the ada.. GOD I LOVE ATSUSHI

this is genuinely such a violently romantic-platonic gesture which is pretty on track for these fucking idiots.. but yeah excuse me while i go tweak out!!!!
