Tell Me You're In Love With Him Without Telling Me You're In Love With Him

now does akutagawa realize that it isn’t just his sacrifice that mattered to atsushi, but the loss of his life as well? that it isn’t only about what he could do with the final moments of his life, but about the void his death, his absence left? now that it has been reflected back to him by the very person he gave everything for—now that he has been given it all in return—does he realize that he might now feel what atsushi felt when he lost him? does he finally understand that his life is as important to atsushi as atsushi’s is to him?

Do not fucking even try the argument "but Akutagawa hates Atsushi" with me

I will only respond with these panels. And probably an entire essay on their entire relationship but still

Happy Birthday, Akutagawa!

"love is touching souls"

So I decided to rework my old BSD tattoo and flower shop au

I finally decided to come back to this au after a lengthy hiatus from it, why did I suddenly come back to it? I just recently got a tattoo for myself and it reminded me of this thing I made so why not improve it since I'm bsd obsessed again.

Character lineup:

ADA (Armed Design Agency)

Additional Info:

Their shop is one of the best in their area

As intimidating as the place is, the people there are fairly welcoming

Kunikida is the only person there to make sure the place stays in top condition

The owner has strong values of sentimentality and remembrance in the form of tattoos

PM (Port Meadow)

Additional Info:

A go to spot for the best bouquets

Located across the street from the ADA

Rumours say the flower shop is a front for the owner to hide crime activity

Hirotsu and Kouyou have worked in the shop the longest and both know a lot more about the place

Miscellaneous characters (+Guild Coffee Shop)

Additional Info:

Around the block is a cozy coffee shop run by Francis

Lucy and Atsushi became friends after a scar cover up session

Poe is considered Ranpo's favourite client

Kyouka's parents are alive but they're always overseas

This reminded me that bsd season five was finished all the way back in Sept 2023 oh my GOD the nostalgia 😭

I can't wait until the manga finally gets to the scene where Akutagawa has to confess his love AHEM I mean where Akutagawa has to tell Atsushi why he saved him

Questions I need to be answered after the last episode:

Is Jouno okay?

Is Tachihara okay?

What is Dostoyevsky's ability?

Why did the vampire curse not work on Atsushi?

What has it been of Sigma?

What will it be of Gogol now?

What will it be of the Hunting Dogs now?

What was of Akutagawa's coat?

Is Akutagawa still terminally ill?

Who wrote the “help me” note?

Did the ada get the page? Are they going to use it?

Why didn't Akutagawa die after the vampire curse ended?

Shouldn't Bram be dead? He told Aya so himself?

What was the doa plan Atsushi was so torn about?

Explanation on the entire two hours later sequence, obviously.

Also questions I need to be answered after the last episode:

Did Akutagawa answer Atsushi on why he saved him?

Did Akutagawa answer Atsushi on why he saved him?

Did Akutagawa answer Atsushi on why he saved him?

Did Akutagawa answer Atsushi on why he saved him?

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) 🙏

where do you think sskk would go for their honeymoon?

honestly, I don't see sskk going somewhere for a honeymoon. they'd probably just each ask for a few weeks off of their work and spend as much time together as possible. their honeymoon is dragging each other around yokohama to go to their favorite restaurants and see gardens and walk alongside the pier and sleep in late. :)
