2 Years Of The Tour Of The Century

atsushi—the one to finally understand akutagawa’s humanity. now seeing his backstory, witnessing the lowest moments of akutagawa’s life—when he was most dehumanized—through his own eyes. someone finally seeing them for what they truly were: tragedy, relentless abuse, the suffering of a wounded child. no more the image of a heartless beast. no more “this is what needed to happen.” no more “this was the only way akutagawa could have learned.”

as someone who has seen the depths of akutagawa’s heart, as someone who has brought change within him through trust, sincerity, and companionship. as someone who treasures akutagawa’s humanity and fights for it—begging him not to lose to himself, because now, atsushi equates akutagawa with that humanity. he would die before letting him surrender to its erosion—and he did sacrifice himself for it.

as someone who, when akutagawa fully reveals that deeply human side of himself, embraces it so completely that he replicates that moment in his own sacrifice.

and now, he watches as akutagawa’s humanity is torn down, again and again. but he is someone who understands—down to the depths of his heart—that akutagawa’s humanity is inherent. that no matter what anyone else, even the narrative itself, wants him to believe—nothing can take that away.

I didn’t 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!

And it's great to meet you too on Tumblr!

Thank you so much<333 that means a lot to me (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

I feel like I just had to share this. This is Edward and he's a uh, teapot spider? Who knows 😔

I really like him though he's so creepy it's cute

FUNNIEST FRAME IN THE WHOLE BSD

my favorites pics of 'the eras tour' ♡

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

fic where atsushi refuses to acknowledge that akutagawa's in the mafia

like akutagawa introduced himself and everything and it drives him insane but atsushi's just like 'yeah this is akutagawa. oh no he's harmless trust. he's just a civilian. think he owns a flowershop'

I hope the person who made the post “Oda was holding Dazai's face in his last moment so that his ability could nullify his own and wouldn't have had to go through his dead twice” knows the thought haunts me every day

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
