Bsd Gin - Tumblr Posts
Do you guys think it pains Akutagawa to know that Gin doesn't know about his illness
Do you think Gin talks about future trips and things they should do together, and he just nods along despite knowing that those things will never happen
Do you think Gin worries about him when he coughs, but Akutagawa brushes it off, because he can't even imagine breaking the news to Gin
Do you think that deep down in her heart, Gin knows that there's something wrong and he isn't getting better, but she just can't handle the idea of her brother, the one whose cared for her throughout her entire life, the one who made it so that she isn't barely surviving winter, dying?
Akutagawa wears a dragon onesie, Gin wears a lizard one, and Atsushi is in a tiger onesie (they all have tails attached btw)
Aaagh Akutagawa and Gin only really hang out with each other in the daycare at first until Atsushi comes to his first day , and after a week of spending time with him, gin also hangs out with other kids like tachihara and higuchi
Akutagawa trips Atsushi but he feels bad when Atsushi cries so he just awkwardly apologizes while helping Atsushi up
Atsushi is hanging out with Gin and Akutagawa gets upset because two of his favorite people are hanging out without him (they started playing dress up while waiting for Aku to get back from having to take his medicine)
Im thinking about toddler sskk and now you have to as well because theyre just xhiedbnj
They make up scenarios and trade toys and Atsushi has to drag Aku along the floor by the onesie so that they can draw at the table together
They cuddle during nap time and Atsushi snores lightly while they're both hugging each other in the crib
Akutagawa starts coughing and Atsushi runs and stumbles to get the daycare caretaker for him
They're just so little baby aaagh
Also they remind me of this video https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNXseVnK/
if i think about sskk as kids i start crying and throwing up. they'd follow each other around and aku would hunt down little things to gift atsu. aku looks at him like 🌑_🌑 all the time. gin aku and atsu? attached by the hip i think
No matter how much Akutagawa hates Dazai, how much he wants him dead, at the end of the day, Dazai is the one that saved him from awful conditions. And I think that deep down Akutagawa can't help but be thankful, even if his current life is equally as bad. Because Gin is alive, and safe, and she'll never need to worry about going hungry again and this is all because of Dazai.
As much as Dazai broke down and abused him, he also provided a safe life for Akutagawa and the only form of family he has left.
Idk tho maybe I'm just talking out of my own ass
BSD + Pokemon Pt. 1 (ADA+PM)
And by this, I mean- like- each character I know well enough, I give them a Pokemon (singular or else I'll be overthinking it all) =w= It's just a thing for myself to scratch that part of my brain. Assigning them a single Pokemon that compliments them. Which might lead to some vagueness.
Other than that! Lets go-!
ADA
Fukuzawa: Kleavor (Not my greatest idea, I kept thinking about "It either has to be about something similar to katanas/swords, or make it cats". Which I cheated at because Kleavor has axes for goodness sakes. If I were to give it the option, I would have given him Aegislash or a freakin *Litten.* "But Lavender, there's Kingambit-" YES. I KNOW. BUT TRUST ME, THAT ONE HAS OTHER PLANS. *cough- fukuchi- cough-*)
Ranpo: Skwovet (Snacks. Just... snacks. Ranpo can deduce cases just fine, but ohs to the woes, he needs more places to stash his snacks. Bam. These babies. But if he wants a Pokemon to enjoy snacking with, Morpeko is the second choice. It's either stash is or eat it, bois.)
Yosano: Blissey (Blissey knows your location. Blissey is approaching your location. Blissey is at your frontdoor. Blissey offers you an egg in these trying times. [ . . . ] Look it's either Blissey incoming or Hattrem incoming, an egg or an smack, pick your poison.)
Kunikida: Indeedee (This one took me a second to figure this one out. But after thinking of a small few, Indeedee was what I chose with the idea of them helping him and his work. The other two were Espeon, Minccino/Cincchino, and Meowstic.)
Dazai: Absol (Now I hate reusing the same Pokemon [I wrote this stuff out of order hhh], but without spoiling too much, while Absol is known for sensing danger, in Dazai's case it would be that they "bring forth" danger. But other than that, if I did go with my unwritten rule, I would have given him Alolan Ninetails because ahahahaa kitsune dazai agenda)
Tanizaki: Hisuian Zorua (Illusionssss. Illusion buddiessss. And to make it a play on words with snow, I made it be Hisuian form because they spawn in the icelands.)
Kenji: Gyrados (I was planning on giving Kenji Sunflora because he is sweet summer child, but at the same time... my boi can hit like a semitruck. Not to mention the cute story that he caught this very weak Magikarp in his village, took care of it, and the next thing you know this kid is giving their [looks at pokedex] "the literal embodiment of tsunami if angry" on a walk. The absolute humor, guys. The *hinjinks*. That or I go with the trend of him bringing a cow to the agency and give him a Miltank.)
Atsushi: Growlithe (Surprise, we have a Growlithe. This is the closest thing we have to a tiger in Pokemon. Unfortunately, its shiny isn't white but yellow. You can decide whether or not this little Growlithe ir a normal or shiny, but in my hc it's just a white tiger variant of Growlithe LET ME LIVE MY DREAM-)
Kyouka: Froslass (All I could remember before looking at the Pokedex entry was that it has something to do with a soul of a woman, and jus- *Gestures vaguely at Froslass, Demon Snow, and the fact that Demon Snow was previously Kyouka's mother's ability)
PM
Mori: Ursaluna (This one gave me MAJOR trouble trying to figure out. My guy's a doctor, but at the same time is the big mafia boss man. The only other Pokemon I could think of were either Bewere, Drampa, or Dragapult, I don't know why I thought those Pokemon specifically. So I just threw everything out, looked at Fukuzawa's Kleavor, went onto the Hisui Pokedex, grabbed Ursaluna, and yeets it at the man. Ursaluna. God-)
Chuuya: Midnight Form Lycanroc (Angry red pupper, emphasis on red. Yeah, I had to, I am not sorry.)
Kouyou: Milotic (Powerful but also very beautiful ◡‿◡ . But at some point, I thought about Lurantis. )
Akutagawa: Mimikyu (This was in my notes before, but yes! Mimikyu. The popularity battle of Mimikyu v Pikachu is similar to Aku v Atsushi. Other than that, Mimikyu was the closest to being compared to Rashomon, with their shadow arm.)
Higuchi: Heliolisk (Unfortunately we are still unsure of Higuchi's Ability, if Asagiri does intend to give her an Ability. For now, though, I had to go off by her appearance. Simply grabbed black, white, and yellow. Looks at all the Pokemon, and decided on Heliolisk. And to be honest, I like it. Dunno if it's just me, but this Pokemon and Higuchi with her sunglasses on? Heck yeahhhh.)
Hirotsu: Meowstic (A secondary option to Kunikida, I decided to give Hirotsu Meowstic because I think the Pokemon and his Ability are similar. In my head, Hirotsu's Ability is basically an impact or what it is explained, "repulsion". And with Meowstic, it holds their physic power back by their ears. But if provokes and have those ears raise up, it'll unleash that power that it "powerful enough to obliterate a 10-ton truck or tanker to dust.")
Gin: Ceruledge (I wanted Gin's Pokemon to match Akutagawa's in some way but have there be blades. Took a look at Mimikyu's typing which was ghost and fairy. In fairy, Iron Valiant. In ghost, Ceruledge. And while, yes, Iron Valiant looks pretty like her, Ceruledge takes the cake.)
Tachihara: Steelix (Is the only reason I give Tachihara Steelix is because he can manipulate metal, and Steelix is... s-steel type? Yeah I'm not that creative. But if it makes ya feel better, I instantly thought of Onyx or Steelix for this guy.)
Q: Banette (One, it's a doll. Two, similar to Q [in a sense-], Banette was previously a doll that was abandoned. I was thinking about giving this one to Lucy, but I think I could find a Pokemon best suited for her. So Banette for Q!)
Kajii: Voltorb (The only reason is explodey bois. Anyways-)
Last night i hard this Dreams where the tripolar singularity, instead of cause wathever is going on in the manga, make all the ability users vanish in dust like in Avengers Infinity war.
Then Ranpo and Naomi restart the Agency recruiting guys with goods deduction skills, and one of them was really similiar to Atsushi.
Three years and half pass, and the Ranpo and Naomi lead the Agency, meanwhile they search a way to bring back everyone to life, with Gin, now PM new boss.
And in the three years Gin and Naomi fell in love, get married and they adopted a bunch of stray kids.
This could be a pretty intersting Fanfiction, but i have a lot of works to complete, so i'll try to write my random thougths about it on some posts.
Sketches from twitter (don't mind Yamaguchi, he's living his best life)
I really hope that as the manga goes on more we get to learn more about the hunting dogs pasts and more about Hirotsu, Gin and Higuchi’s background’s too.
I need to know if everyone’s style and fashion drastically improved or changed after you started to watch/read bsd. I know it happened to me and I saw some other people say it happened too, but I need to know if this happens to everyone or just a few people.
Sometimes I get scared that my interest in bsd is going away, but then I get a notification saying that one of my favorite content creators posted something and then I go crazy from pure excitement and joy.
Akutagawa vs Spoon
Akutagawa: I don’t need anyone’s help. I can handle everything by myself. Gin: Brother, you can’t even handle a spoon. Akutagawa: What are you talking about? I can handle a spoon perfectly fine. Gin: Then why do you always stab yourself in the mouth when you eat soup?
Wait.
What if the story of Bungou Stray Dogs is just a frame narrative. So maybe Atsushi is telling this story to his children, but it's their bedtime, so he tells them that he will tell the rest of the story the next night. Atsushi then cuddles for the rest of the night with his husband, Akutagawa, who pretends to be a vampire, making both of them laugh.
In the morning, their children meet up with Chuuya and Dazai's children, who are joined by Higuchi and Gin's kid. Kenji and Kyouka reveal that they are engaged. Poe and Ranpo call in from America to say they can make the wedding date. Yosano and Kouyou shed tears at this beautiful turn of fate. Nikolai and Fyodor show up, and everyone is jokingly mad at them. Fyodor promised to bring his band over for the wedding. Nikolai says he can provide the entertainment. Kyouka and Kenji have invited Mori and Fukuzawa, who were currently on a honeymoon in Italy.
Fukuchi died because he set one order wrong and ended up killing himself and nobody else.
Aya and Teruko live with Bram and Sigma.
Kunikida started up his old relationship with Katai, and managed to clean him up a bit.
Jouno and Tetchou live happily but the Hunting Dogs group chat keeps getting spammed by Jouno and his text-to-speech.
Tachihara and Tanizaki get together after Naomi forced him to go on a double date with her and Haruno.
Lucy and Lousia get a thing going on, leaving Fitzgerald and Steinbeck alone. They get a thing going too.
Lovecraft stays asleep (he tired of this)
And they all lived gaily ever after (pun intended).
This was Asagiri can keep the mystique of what happened, leaving the fandom to wonder how everybody was still alive, and begging Asagiri on a daily basis to ask him how he did it.
There is no other way.
I just remembered that Higuchi and Gin are both Vampires. Let the shenanigans begin.
*Throws this and runs*
WAIT I DIDNT EVEN TBINK OF THIS
if I had a nickel for every time I met killer who liked knifes and had killer brother who had a detective boyfriend, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
I love how Greek tragedy coded beast is, ignoring the romantic context of the original myths, there's so many that fit into Beast.
Akutagawa's long odyssey back to Gin, a journey seemingly cursed upon him for choosing vengeance over his sister. Dazai is Poseidon the God he failed to impress and set him on this treacherous path, Oda is Athena who gives him the tools and knowledge to overcome it after years of hardship.
The tasks he has to perform for the Agency are like that of the Labours of Hercules. The madness he has to atone for with these tasks are his bloodlust and need for vengeance. The Agency give him back his humanity, show him the light and help him heal, but it's not enough to keep him away from what the fates (Dazai) have planned for him.
Aku's and Gin's reunion is like that of Orpheus and Eurydice. Again Dazai plays the role of a God, this time Hades, the one who tore them apart in the first place and the who Aku has to make a deal with to get Gin back. A deal he could never win. He loses not because he looks back at Gin but because he keeps losing sight of her.
Gin is like Echo, having listened to Dazai's manipulations for so long they're all she can repeat when confronted by Aku. When Dazai is gone she fades away, unsure of who she is anymore.
Atsushi is the Minotaur, he is Medusa, he is the innocent victim turned into a monster, forced to play the beast the hero must defeat.
Dazai himself is like that of Cassandra, cursed with the gift of prophecy, he sees all that there could be and is isolated by it. He can't tell anyone what he knows and the only man he tries to, Oda, doesn't believe him.
Of course Dazai has to die, it's not a tragedy if someone doesn't die. Akutagawa and Gin aren't reunited, and Atsushi is forced into hiding because heroes don't get the reward they want, but what the Gods deem fit to give them.
And Dazai's final part, played beyond his death, he's the Patroclus to Chuuya's grief maddened Achilles.
Grief maddened just like Akutagawa was at the start of the story, because the God's games are never truly over and Sisyphus will always be pushing the boulder uphill.
