What If Genuinely The Only Thing I Want To Do Is Read/watch/JUST EVEN LOOK At Atsushi Nakajima. What

finally got my act together and contributed to the atsushi big cat instincts agenda. more to come after finals!!!

My only "pet peeve" about Cat Like-Atsushi stories

I don't know if anyone else cares about it, but I care about it so imma talk about it.

Tigers cannot purr.

Basically Roaring and Purring are exclusive. Cats who can purr can not roar and cats who can roar can not purr. Tigers roar, they do not purr.

Now honestly, it doesn't bother me too much, as purring is adorable and Atsushi being able to purr while human can be explained away by "Oh human vocal cords aren't strong enough to roar, so when he's human he can purr instead", but i would like to see some roaring atsushi fics.

Like, maybe Dazai's teasing goes a little too far one day and he roars to warn Dazai to get out of his face, or Kyouka gets lost in a crowd and he roars to find her out of instinct, or if you wanna get shippy he roars as a way to get Akutagawa's attention.

I guess I just wish Tiger habits were explored more was apposed to him just being compared to a domestic cat.

That's all.

Edit: Unrelated, but you know how Snow Leopards carry their tails around in their mouths? I know tigers don't do it, but I kinda wanna see Atsushi do that. Like his tail pops out when he's nervous and he walks around with it in his mouth. Idk it just sounds cute.

Atsushi with more non-human features. Atsushi with reflective eyes that creep out (some of) the ADA. Atsushi with pupils that contract into slits like a cat's when the area is bright. Atsushi with small fangs, canines sharper than a normal persons. Atsushi with heightened senses, who picks up on small details that even Ranpo can't. Atsushi who has naturally more animalistic behaviors and movements. Atsushi who shows affection in strange ways, like headbutting or slow blinking. Atsushi who's ability is wholly a part of him, ingrained in his very being.

headcanon that atsushi is obsessed with blankets and can often be found wrapped in like six of them

OH MY GOD ANON I SUPPORT YOU 100%. THIS BOY NEEDS ALL THE BLANKETS IN THE WORLD.

• Back at the orphanage it was rare for Atsushi to be shown any sort of physical affection, and he was regularly found hiding in dark corners or inside his closet to avoid the abusive staff members. It’s only when he gets to the Agency that he starts sleeping in an actual bed – and a comfortable one at that!! For the first few weekends when Atsushi gets some time off, he’ll just roll up under his covers of his futon and stay there for days. • When he has nightmares or there are times where he is reminded of his past, Atsushi pulls his blankets around his body and cocoons himself in the warmth they offer, the comfort of the soft sheets reminding him that that isn’t his life anymore and he’s allowed to feel warm and safe. • When he’s sick he’ll walk around the house wrapped in a huge fluffy duvet and just rest on the sofa all day until he feels well enough to work again. • Cuddling Atsushi under the blankets would be 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻• He’s like a human radiator oh my god can you imagine the purring • LET THIS BOY FEEL LoVE DAmn iT

Bridges Burned (Part I)

First part of the Atsushi-centric prequel to Build Upon The Ruins. For @zigur.

Rating: T Words: 5,600 Warnings: past child abuse.

Bridges Burned Part I

One of the Headmaster’s favorite things to say about Atsushi was that he destroyed everything he touched.

It wasn’t one of his lessons, exactly; he never applied it to Atsushi’s mind with more than brief, dismissive words, never carved it into Atsushi’s back with belt or stick. "You destroy everything, boy,“ he would simply say. And he would look at him with profound disgust and leave.

So Atsushi figured that this was one rule he could circumvent with time. He broke breakable things, yes, because his hands shook often; he stepped over fragilities, indeed, in his attempts to cower and flee; but these were not things he attributed to himself as much as to the Headmaster, who was the source of the flight and who was the source of the shakes.

Atsushi thought: Once I am out of here, I won’t shake anymore.

Fanfic idea  - Jealous drunken Chuuya x Drunken cat Atsushi

Prompt: As described Atsushi and Chuuya get drunk and comedy ensues

Actual idea- 

So I’m imagining thats its sometime in the future during a cherry blossom viewing.

Everyone is getting drunk and having a great time but cue Atsushi and Chuuya getting drunk.

Turns out a drunken Atsushi acts really silly, like everyone keeps referring to him as a cat and asks him to bring out his tail and ears. Ya know silly stuff but at some point drunken Atsushi just starts acting like complete cat and starts cuddling up to people he likes. You know partially cause he’s drunk and he’s just instinctually scent marking people like an actual cat. 

This all comes to a point where he starts cuddling up to Dazai which triggers the next event.

Which is a jealous drunken Chuuya.

You know in my head Chuuya already found Atsushi to be really cute at the beginning of the night before the tiger ears and tail came out. 

Atusshi is just adorable and Chuuya immediately wants to get to know him more but denies himself since he doesn’t want Dazai to be an ass about it.

Well a few hours later drunken Chuuya gets jealous that the cute weretiger is cuddling up to Dazai. 

Cause ya know Dazai is the worst and in Chuuya’s mind doesn’t deserve to have an adorable creature cuddling up to him and being affectionate. 

So in his drunken jealous wisdom Chuuya thinks its a great idea to go over there and just grab Atsushi and say that Dazai doesn’t deserve to have a cute cat before walking back over to the port mafia side while a confused but still drunk Atsushi just kinda shrugs and continues to act like a cat. 

Just ya know:

Angry drunken Chuuya (clutching Atsushi like a child would a plush toy): “O-oi this cat is mine now! F-fuck off  you Shitty Mackrel!”

Atsushi (who is now slightly confused but unbothered just makes chuffing sounds before cuddling into this new persons neck and nuzzling their cheek like an overly affectionate cat.) 

Atsushi giving someone in the ADA a dead bird or mouse or something, and they throw it away because, obviously, it's a dead animal what else are they supposed to do with it? and Atsushi is so freaking hurt over it, like yeah his human brain gets it, but his heart is still broken, because that was a present and he worked so hard to give it to them and the rest of the ADA just stares at the person who threw it away like they're absolutely scum for throwing away Atsushi's present as Atsushi tries not to cry in the background.

MY IDEAL WORLD. IM SICK TO MY STOMACH. ATSUSHI SLEEPER BUILD HEADCANON PLEASEE

Fukuzawa: Atsushi, I'm sorry

Atsushi: huffs, looks away

Junichiro: What's up with Atsushi?

Ranpo: A stray cat gave the President a fish.

Junichiro: wince And he accepted it?

Ranpo: Yup, Atsushi caught him a deer too but now he's not getting any.

Atsushi: Maybe those other cats can get you a deer, hmph.
