You know
Sometimes I just love to read a happy sskk fic
Like, I love when their relationship is angsty or messy or complicated, because that is how it is! But sometimes the hurt gets too painful and I adore how tragic they are but I need happiness
Sskk may not be the softest ship, but it's so refreshing to just read a fic where things are...peaceful. There's no miscommunication, there's no death, there's no tears or despair. It's the aftermath, where Atsushi and Akutagawa have learned to love each other without fear
Where they're together and they're happy, where they can wake up next to each other and walk around the city together and give each other goodbye kisses that aren't actually goodbye
When everything's okay
And sometimes, things are so happy it makes you sad anyway. It makes you sad that Sskk is happy together because you know it isn't true, so while it soothes your soul with the fortune, it also reminds you of canon Sskk and how many doors that they can't walk through
I truly do love the heavy, angsty Sskk fics with all the heartbreak and anguish and forbidden, confusing love that they have with each other. But the fics where they're together, and they have sweet nothings shared between each other is also so wonderful, where things are soft and magical and it's all okay still have a place in my heart
I love the perspectives of their relationship from both sides
Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
Secretly married sskk pre canon would be hilarious just completely re-contextualize their ‘fights’ and ‘rivalry’ to Akutgawa just wanting his husband to stop doing obvi dangerous shit and getting kidnapped (he is a hypocrite) Atsushi didn’t know Akutgawa was apart of the mob until after he got a job at the ada bc he thought he was joking (bc who tf names their mob the Mob) they got married after knowing each other for three months and met because Akutgawa hit him with his car
They have healthiest relationship out of all of the bsd cast
Help imagine married sskk 😭
Atsushi: Ryuu honey can you do the dishes
Akutagawa: I already did them last night
Atsushi *with his hands on his hips*: I did not get stabbed by Amenogozen to save you just to have a lazy husband. Now go do the dishes
Like there's not even much of a joke here I just love what married sskk in their happily ever after would be like. They'd be so imperfectly perfect, and also it'd be funny to see them bicker, especially with their pasts
Recently saw the phrase "double-blind" in my psych textbook and it made me think of double-black. And then I thought of some more variations, so now i'm making it yall's problem.
I also did a little comic for "double-bind" but I'll post that separately
If Akutagawa kept a diary, how do you think he'd write about Atsushi in it? (yes I'm the same anon asker hehe)
paste a picture of him in it and stab it with a pencil and then write out detailed plans on how to ask atsushi out and then write an essay on why he's not going to act on those and he doesn't actually have feelings for atsushi it's all a plan to murder him trust me bro
tell me about your favorite of your wips. >:)
uhhh
I have a lot I'm fond of and my favorite one is going to be kept a secret because I want to reveal nothing about it until I actually finish writing chapter one 😔
Anyways, one of my other favorites is my wip "I picked the petals, he loves me not"
It's a hanahaki sskk au, where Akutagawa starts coughing up flowers due to a crush on a...certain someone...
But yk, with his lung condition and all that, the hanahaki will probably kill him in like a month or even less
And the hanahaki strikes while Atsushi and Akutagawa are heading back from a mission and then Atsushi gets all worried bc wtf people don't just start vomiting petals everywhere and then Akutagawa has to brush it off like "it's nothing weretiger" when it's very clearly not nothing 😔
Atsushi goes to Ranpo for advice and Ranpo tells him about hanahaki and how it all works. So now Atsushi's determined to save Akutagawa, and saving him requires Akutagawa to confess his feelings to whoever he loves (I wonder who that could be 👀)
Chaos ensues
Also I've had this idea for like at least a year now but my snail of a brain is just like "I'll get to it later"
Also the title is a lyric from the song You're On Your Own, Kid by Taylor Swift
Can't Help Falling in Love
Bsd cats!! ♡
I saw that your pinned post was just like "ask me anything" lol so I was wondering, what do you think Kunikida's reaction to Atsushi dating Akutagawa would be?
OOOH. okay this is a fun one. I think that at first he'd have a gut reaction of terror and be really protective and try to talk atsushi out of being in a relationship with akutagawa. but after atsushi tells him about how he feels about akutagawa and why he loves him so much, kunikida would be more okay with it. probably would make a "if you harm him i will kill you" threat to akutagawa. over time I think he'd warm up to the idea of them dating and warm up to akutagawa. he's not disapproving or anything and he wants to see atsushi happy! he is going to act verrry protective though
that one saying " to be loved is to be changed " but its akutagawa from the beginning of the manga slowly evolving to become way softer and loving and turning into what we saw in the last chapter, i love how the artstyle also changed, he looks so beautiful atsushi must be really jn love with him
