Hey, What Are You Lookin’ At / Like You Never Seen A Broken Man?

generally speaking i think miya chinen is a stellar character, but what i really like about him is that he uniquely and subtly subverts the ‘younger character who is unnecessarily mean to the main cast but is secretly revealed to have a heart of gold by the end of the anime’ trope by overtly caring about the other characters from like. the moment he appears on screen.

like yes, he’s cold and cocky, he calls people slimes, and his favorite pastime is tormenting reki— but he’s also pretty bad at pretending like he thinks he’s too good at skateboarding. he’s bad at pretending he hates his friends. and i think that’s where he differs quite a bit from the normal trope. miya doesn’t really think he’s better than anyone, and that becomes abundantly clear very quickly.

he’s only mean to reki because he sees potential in him, to the point that miya wants to see reki continue skating, wants to see him improve— but he doesn’t want to say that out loud, so he instead hides behind insults. he cares very deeply about reki’s opinions on his own skating and is sad when reki stops showing up at S to watch him. even just as a person, he cherishes reki as a good friend who promised to stick by his side no matter how great he got at skateboarding. even at crazy rock when miya skates with reki and langa for the first time, he asks langa, “are you really the one who beat shadow? because that slime back there (reki) was actually better than you.”

and when it comes to others, he practically wears his heart on his sleeve if you know where to look. he loses his first race against langa only because he stopped to warn langa that the rails he was skating on were broken. it’s his idea to go to the hot spring to heal reki’s injury. he has fun skating with everyone in the beach episode. he takes the time to teach reki and langa new tricks. he waits for reki in the hospital after his race with adam, and shows up when shadow’s in the hospital. he eats kojiro’s food without complaining at all. he roots for his friends and worries about their well-being.

he is literally a bundle of love!! and he doesn’t hesitate to show it when it matters most, even if he does sometimes hide under layers of aggression!! i love him

Beast TaniAku clears every other ship, and it's not even close.

This duo completely and utterly captivated me, everything about them lifts my heart to Heaven.

"Oh, he's the only one who makes me feel human," well, Tanizaki was the first person to show Akutagawa kindness and friendship. The first one to sympathize with Akutagawa's pain, truly the first one to bring out the humanity in him.

"Oh, he'd do crazy shit for me," Tanizaki has a non-combat ability and no real fighting skills, but he still pulled up at the Mafia Headquarters and took hostage an assassin, all to show Akutagawa that he "wasn't alone."

"Oh, he's just as insane as I am, he gets me," Tanizaki was the only one who consistently supported Akutagawa's desire to take revenge on Dazai. He told Akutagawa, over and over again, to forget his duty as an agency member and to show no mercy towards the one who hurt him.

"Oh, our abilities are so compatible," if you think Rashomon is dangerous, wait until you're not sure where the sharp limbs are attacking you from.

And their dynamic in the beginning??? Tanizaki being so shy and scared, Akutagawa being mad because he was rough with Naomi?? The questions and awkwardness, but then the easy friendship?? Tanizaki giving his stamp with no conditions?? Akutagawa promising he would be the first to know when he found Gin??

They're so cute and lovely and happy and iconic and I adore them so much, because their meeting wasn't something extraordinary or fated or tragic or loud– it was just two people who found comfort and strength in each other.

I love being a multishipper

requests in which skk decide they need a third
