people have got to learn the difference between I didnt like it and It was bad

As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'

I present: 'salt, vinegar, and everything sinister'

The Fae that trapped you in a Groundhog Day-style time loop is extremely frustrated that you’re taking advantage of the situation to just sleep all day, every day.

hold on

Concept: Bungou Stray Dogs but the Atsushi’s a reverse weretiger.

He’s a tiger that can turn into a human.

The bounty was placed on his human side (people were pretty chill bout a tiger roaming round apparently) and his cover was instantly blown when Atsushi the tiger saved Dazai and turned human right infront of him.

It’s the fastest case that’s ever been closed and Atsushi’s still embarrassed about it.

Being raised more tiger then human (because the orphanage wouldn’t dare treat him as anything but a wild beast) Atsushi is pretty feral.

He doesn’t really understand much of the world given he was imprisoned and just relies on tiger instincts.

It’s okay though tea on rice is still his favourite food.

He starts to get the hang of things once All Men are Equals kicks in and he’s able to change form at will.

Though he prefers to be a tiger and as stated previously people are just weirdly chill about a tiger roaming around Yokohama.

Because giant tiger it may be but it’s still Atsushi. Besides he’s got a lil badge that says he’s with the Agency.

And frankly no one wants to question what they’re doing.

Definitely been moments when Atsushi drops his human form to get out of an argument. He does this to Akutugawa a lot and the man will carry on while Atsushi pretends he can’t understand him.

Atsushi does keep his human form as he works though he’s had to relearn a few things. Reading is something he managed to teach himself but writing isn’t his best suit.

The orphanage didn’t exactly care to teach a beast any of these things.

Kunikida does take him aside and teach him how. He still makes mistakes here and there but everyone’s supportive.

Atsushi’s also gotta be aware of if Dazai’s in a “annoy Kunikida mood.”

Well more than usual.

Because Dazai will grin with mischief and tap Atsushi and suddenly there’s a giant tiger in the middle of the office and oh oh fuck the paperwork!

Fortunately Kunikida has since stopped yelling at Atsushi for these instances and so Dazai gets the full brunt of his wrath.

Deserved.

There’s a joke in there about how Dazai’s ability renders (quite literally) no longer human.

Dead Apple was certainly interesting because with his ability gone Atsushi couldn’t exactly speak anymore. But Kyouka and the others know him well enough to understand his growls and such.

Akutagawa got right pissed about it because I knew you could understand me! And then dedicated more time he would never admit too to understanding tiger Atsushi.

Dazai showing up at the end to explain his side and instead Atsushi runs over and he opens his arms to get absolutely swept up in a tiger hug.

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”
