( Cricket Sounds )Have Some Random Stuff I Thought Of Regarding Beast Universe And Q Because I Am Writing

( cricket sounds ) Have some random stuff I thought of regarding Beast Universe and Q because I am writing a fic and I needed a place to just... ramble at this point.

welcome to my ramblings, the name's lavender, im here all night www

So from what I could gather, in their present timeline, Dazai became the Port Mafia boss "four and a half years ago", leading to that he likely became the boss just a bit before meeting both Akutagawa and Atsushi. But when adding Q into the mix, they met him when they were six years old. And with a bit of brainhops and calculationg and taking note of their different timeline compared to the OG (Beast is two years behind, making Akutagawa 18 in their present timeline) then the timeline could go like as such:

They met at ages 6 and 15

By the time Mori faked his death, Dazai would have been 16

At the same age, possibly half a year, Dazai would have met Akutagawa, 14 years old, and Atsushi, 12 years old.

Fast forward those four and half years, we have 18 year old Akutagawa, 16 year old Atsushi, and 20 year old Dazai. Present-Beast timeline.

So during that short span of Q being in the Port Mafia and Mori's fake assassination, it would have been at least a year. That's what I have going on in my fic, Q still goes to the Port Mafia after being rescued from wherever they were, I'm going off on a limb and say the hospital. That one is a whole other small tangent and I have somewhat limited space. Going back on track, this is Beast Universe! And Dazai likely foresaw something happening between Q, their ability, and Chuuya (going through some theories that sound plausible enough). But since he knows enough, Dazai more or less has Q go with Mori into hiding once they faked the man's death.

And that's where things are on my end, post-beast, Atsushi and Kyouka at the orphanage under Mori's care, and Atsushi currently meeting Q.

I wanna write a few bit more about Beast!Q, please and thank you, they need the love. They're character is really interesting, that's why I'm writing all this stuff down. But until then, I have a fic to finish writing.

ZZZ!BSD

( . . . ) Yeah, it's gotten to the point where my addictions(I forgot the word for this stuff) collides and- just- I couldn't help myself.

Nothing really special, just if the organizations of BSD are factions in ZZZ (even though it's stated in the zzzwiki that the factions are organizations themselves-) BUT THEY HAVE A COOL LOGO TO GO WITH IT.

SO THAT'S WHAT I DID.

I GAVE EM A LOGO.

With and without background, too. =w=

The next bout of inspiration that comes to me I would the Port Mafia (I already have ideas though but I is tiredd)

Modern!BSD but...

Atsushi is idol Akutagawa's "pseudo" manager and boyfriend (unbeknownst to the public and everyone that aren't part of their inner circle.) In his words, "Jinko keeps me on top of things. I don't see why I would need an official manager if he's already doing a good job at it."

At first, the fans didn't know who this person was when they caught a glimpse of him in the few chances they have a bit of insight of Akutagawa's crew and routine. Always covering themself with baggy hoodies and cargo pants with tights underneath, white mask with black imprinted tiger stripes and nose, sunglasses, and either a beanie or bucket hat. But after some thought and revelation, they realized that they were Akutagawa's manager! They didn't even know he had one to begin with. And after knowing what Akutagawa calls him, the fans picked up on calling the manager "Jinko-chan" and were completely hooked.

In reality, their history takes it back when they were in high school and Akutagawa was scouted due to recommendations by Chuuya and Dazai. He needed a manager, and while Higuchi offered, Akutagawa didn't want her to deal with his bulls--t. So, wanting to be a good senpai, Dazai dragged Atsushi to intern as Akutagawa's temporary manager! "Seriously, Mackerel?" "Come on, Chibi! Atsushi-kun is actually learning under our dear manager Kunikida-kun! Who else would be a better manager than the one learning under our own?" "( . . . ) S--tty Dazai, Kunikida is his math tutor-!" Which led to quite the conflict between Akutagawa and Atsushi. Akutagawa, struggling with the prospect of the entertainment industry and fame and people with the perpetual fear of his privacy being compromised. Meanwhile Atsushi, a Chinese-literature student and track runner, having panic attacks over dealing with statistics and handling schedules and deadlines all while dealing with not-so good people in his lives, growing anger and spite to his foster father and the busted foster system that split him and his sister apart he was damned to specifically.

But somewhere and somehow, they found themselves understanding the other more better than most. To let Akutagawa sleep better at night, Atsushi deals with issues amongst the fans, taking it to another level when there was even a hint of any privacy leaked and, for some reason, hateful comments. (It shocked Kunikida mostly, he hasn't taught Atsushi this in particular yet when it comes to being the idol's manager). Because even then, Akutagawa just has himself and Gin. And he wants to protect what he has. "I might as well help," he always said to Dazai. But really, he wants to protect them too. And in turn, Akutagawa "begrudgingly" became less harsh on the younger. He couldn't really fire him, and Dazai wouldn't want Atsushi to quit. But more of the fact that he was more exposed to Atsushi's more hidden side, his angrier and spiteful person. And after becoming aware of Atsushi's situation outside of school and being his manager, he offered Atsushi a place to stay in his house with Gin. Because despite himself, he wants to know more about Atsushi, not just as the nice guy from school or his begrudging manager. He wants to know Atsushi as Atsushi.

When Akutagawa's career as an idol fully takes off and he's graduating from school does all those feelings come crashing down. Because that also means that Atsushi is no longer his temporary manager. (They forgot it was all temporary. They have gotten so used to working in tandem that all they worked for, all they built, was temporary.) On the same day of Akutagawa's graduation, he admits that he's afraid what Atsushi has built to protect him and Gin, and that he feels there's much more he wants to know and learn about him. Mutually, Atsushi is scared on what would happen to them both if he wasn't there to protect them, but not so equally scared as to spend the majority of his afterschool time in a place that wasn't his home anymore. Not with that white haired, red-eyed man that all but claims to be his foster father. So they come to a compromise. Not much of a compromise, really. They just continue what they have always been doing, the only change coming to when Atsushi graduates and turns 18. He foresaw that he would be dropped from the foster system like some rubbish and he'd rather not be with his foster-father in the same instance, so he moves into Akutagawa's house early, not that either party minded.

In the present, Akutagawa has a better handling on his idol position, Atsushi is still his manager (and more beyond that) and is living safely with the siblings along with his sister he finally reunited with. They all still live in the same big house since high school, but they're thriving.

Yeah. Things are going well.

(A/N: I wasn't expecting how deep I would go into this wwww ahhh my brain is still fried. I only made this outline entirely of the bit when idols ran and dragged their managers out when the mission was who is the most handsome manager.)

BSD but what if Atsushi's hair wasn't cut?

I imagine as a child, he had at least shoulder-length hair, the height in which his current uneven bangs are. The stripe is still there, but the tips of his hair is black, a callback to his concept art. In some way, he was an odd child by appearance: natural platinum blonde hair with abnormal black edges and single stripe and almost piercing purple-yellow eyes? Unheard of and practically inhuman. And for a long time, he's hated his hair and eyes. It made him stand out when all he ever wished was to blend in.

Due to some... "divine intervention" (cough—Byakko—cough), the children weren't able to make due with their prank but it only caused a louder ruckus (COUGH—BYAKKO—COUGH). In the end, and because he was blamed for practically everything, the headmaster punished Atsushi, ending him with a large burn scar running across his forehead. (It was aimed to be over his eyes, but Atsushi moved his head. But it still hurt all the same.) Since then, Atsushi has began taking care of his ever-growing hair, especially his bangs in a way to cover his scars, and his piercing eyes. It was the only thing he could think of to try and hide the upper part of his face. And after several years and no more pranks (because the pranksters became {sparkle}traumatized{sparkle}), Atsushi's hair had grown past half way down his back, and his bangs no cover just over the tip of his nose.

Since meeting the agency and becoming a member, Atsushi still had his guard up when it came to covering his face. He got some tips from the girls and even Kunikida on how to maintain such a long length of hair. Of course, his coworkers were concerned that having such long hair could pose a problem during missions or block his sight, but it didn't slow him down thankfully. But it made them awfully curious. It was his pride and joy.

Until a small incident with/regarding Akutagawa.

Needless to say, upon one of their joint missions that got turned into a fight (because of unresolved feelings and unspoken words), Atsushi managed to duck from Rashomon's slash. But in doing so, his head suddenly felt... lighter. Literally. Turning his head to see his long hair, cut, laying on the bloodied ground and albeit a frozen Akutagawa on the other side, Atsushi saw red. He did not know what happened after his sudden rampage, but Dazai was grinning like an idiot while Chuuya looked impressed, terrified, and indifference.

Which lead to where they are now: back at the agency (Dazai dragged Chuuya and Akutagawa along) with the members all but staring in horror at his uneven cut hair that stopped just about his shoulder blades, fists bloody and apparent tear marks from under his thankfully untouched bangs. (Because Arahabaki forbid if Rashomon managed to cut his bangs).

Cue Yosano, Naomi, Kyouka, Haruna, and even Chuuya trying to salvage as much as they could with Atsushi's hair. Meanwhile, Dazai does some talking (read: prodding) with Atsushi to figure out what really is going on under his long bangs. But it goes on for so long back and forth that Akutagawa soon grew irritated and used Rashomon abruptly as a hairband and pushed Atsushi's hair back.

(Or for a more bonding moment, it happens when they fought: Akutagawa grabs Atsushi by his bangs, effectively tugging them up only for stand in shock at the other's gorgeous bi-colored sunset-ametrine eyes and such a harsh burn scar across his forehead, all wrapped together with the younger's panicked expression which leads to a whole lot of confessions and bonding and just- [gestures wildly] The potential)

Anywayssss, they awe at his pretty eyes, go through the urges of wanting to kill an already dead man, and while Atsushi still wanted to keep his bangs, he gets a bandana to both keep them out of the way but to also cover his scar.

(A/N: Yippeeeee owo)

Competitive Streak

Atsushi sighs heavily as he walks through the hallway after leaving 1-C, still not used to seeing the top of some students’ heads given his transformed legs give him some height. He looks around before hearing familiar footsteps behind him.

“Atsushi.” He turns around to see his purple-haired classmate walk over to him.

“Oh, Shinsou. Need something?” he asks.

“Just some questions,” Shinsou shrugs his shoulders, joining Atsushi in stride. “Heading to 1-A?”

“Sort of.” Atsushi hums quietly, looking ahead. “Usually he would come to me. Something must’ve come up, but the train heading back to Kamino Ward will be leaving soon, and I’d rather not be stranded here again like last time.”

“You live outside the city?” Shinsou raises an eyebrow.

“Yeah, but it’s fine.” Atsushi shrugs his shoulders. But then his ears flick and he stops, eyes widening to see quite the crowd of students in front of 1-A. “Oh… That’s why.”

“Because of the upcoming Sports Festival, several of the students from the other branches want to know what Class 1-A is like, being quite the popular class.” Shinsou explains. “Which leads to my next question: would you be partaking in the festival?”

Atsushi blinks and thinks for a moment. Carefully, “For the most part, I don’t think I would. I have a bit of a competitive side, and it really comes out when I’m face-to-face with one of 1-A’s students. The black-haired one, silver eyes? The one that looks like he’d rather be somewhere else than anywhere.”

“Akutagawa?”

“Him.”

Shinsou raises an eyebrow, eyeing the tiger up and down. “Never thought you and him knew each other. Is he the one that you usually wait for.”

“Yup.”

They continue walking before Shinsou says, “It’s odd that someone like you willingly switched to General Education rather than try your luck at the hero course.”

Atsushi hums quietly, smiling in understanding. “Yeah, it really doesn’t make sense, huh? But really… I needed a change of pace. Yes, I would still want to save people, it’s all I’ve ever known. But the fighting… I need a break.” Atsushi weakly smiles. Shinsou gazes at him for a moment before nodding his head. “Are you doing it? Need some support?” Atsushi asks.

“I’m planning on doing the festivities, yes. But I think almost everyone in General Education would bite the bullet to have a chance at getting into the Hero course if they failed the practical exam before the start of the school year.” Shinsou explains.

Atsushi nods his head before yelping when something wrapped tightly around his arm and he was dragged off. “Ah-” He looks over to see Akutagawa stalking off, only glaring at him sharply. His social battery is at an all time low, huh? Atsushi smiles reassuringly before waving to Shinsou, “I’ll think about it! But if I do, I won’t go easy on you!”

Shinsou simply watched them go before nodding his head and making his way through the crowd of students.

They sat in the middle of their small apartment, Akutagawa all but sitting across Atsushi’s lap and head resting on Atsushi’s shoulder all while the tiger watched the news. On the coffee table in front of them, a glass of finished water and a bowl of half-finished soup. He feels a tug on his sleeve and Atsushi turns his head to see Akutagawa lift him up enough to look back properly.

“What are your opinions regarding the Sports Festival?” Atsushi asks, tilting his head.

“Indifferent,” answers the ravenet, letting his tired eyes rest. “This year, too, there seems to be an odd spike of Villain attacks. There was controversy whether or not UA should hold it this year.”

“Right,” Atsushi nods his head, remembering the USJ Incident that landed Akutagawa in Recovery Girl’s nurse’s office due to the strain on his lungs. “The Sports Festival would be broadcasted, an easy giveaway of what our classmate’s Quirks, their pros and cons, and those tiny things about them. Their intent.”

Akutagawa sighs heavily. “But because of that sudden remark from that news reporter, I wouldn’t be surprised if those people would avoid me.”

Atsushi frowned heavily and he held Akutagawa tighter.

“Then if we can’t talk to All Might, then surely you can explain allowing that sketchy student to join the Hero Course!” One of the reporters exclaimed.

“Hey now,” Aizawa narrows his eyes slightly at the person. “They are students, mind you. Nor should you make assumptions right off the bat.” He casts a glance over his shoulder to where Akutagawa was standing, looking indifferent.

However, Atsushi’s tail was lashing and bristling, ears pinned down, pupils dilated so thinly you couldn’t see them, and hackles raised into a snarl.

“Oooh, they’re about to get it now,” grits Present Mic.

“Calm down. The police will handle it.” Aizawa looks over and motions his head inside the building. Akutagawa noticed it of course and nodded his head in response, taking Atsushi’s arm and, with a light tug, managed to pull themselves into the building.

“Don’t bother,” Akutagawa says, snapping Atsushi out of his thoughts. “I don’t care what they have to say about me. All I care is…” his voice trails off, gray eyes meeting bi-colored sunset ones. Slowly Akutagawa’s face went red and he shifted to hide his face. But just barely Atsushi hears a muffled, “All I care is your opinion.”

Atsushi smiles and he pulls Akutagawa close to a hug. “Well, even though I know you’re going to ace it, do you still want to train?” After a beat, Akutagawa lifts his head again to only give the tiger a knowing look.

“You’re just taking this opportunity for us to spar like we used to.”

Atsushi just sticks his tongue out teasingly. “I didn’t hear a no~!”

“My only hope is if we don’t destroy a building while we’re at it.”

Atsushi couldn’t help but laugh at that before quickly adding, “And no boats!”

—  —  —

“I smell… so much… food…!” Atsushi couldn’t help but start drooling at the good smelling stand food.

Akutagawa just shakes his head with a knowing smirk. “The Sports Festival is treated like a whole festival, if not a tournament. Of course there would be some food stands.” The ravenet looks over only to realize Atsushi had just vanished.

He looks around wildly before sighing heavily, facepalming. “Jinko, you can’t eat something. You’re also partaking in this, you’ll end up with a stomach ache at the end.” he calls into the crowd, looking around.

But as he continues standing there, the more aware he senses the crowd glancing at him and the whispers starting to form. But that only made him click his tongue in disappointment before heading off to try and find the tiger.

After finding him by a crepe’s stand, he drags Atsushi off with the promise that they get something to eat when they were able to.

(A/N: [stares at the bonfire that is the BSD fandom] Yeah we're not recovering soon with so many revelations and deaths in the span of a single chapter, aren't we?) — (ANYWAYS- This was buried in my Google Docs in a random AU/Scenario of SSKK in MHA, they own an apartment in Kamino Ward, Atsushi is stuck[??] half-transformed and is continuously mistaken as someone with a Mutant Quirk and not a Transformation Quirk, and Atsushi being in GenEd, best buds[ish] with Shinsou, while Akutagawa is in the Hero Course because WHY NOT-) — (I had others before, but it began feeling too stereotypical in my tastes, as well as it being the same scenario explained. Made it feel like it took place in the same scenario when I wanted each to be different but noooooo) — (another ANYWAYS, hoped you enjoyed regardless =w=)
