Something About How Atsushi Can Trek Through The Past And The Future When All He Wants Is To Go Back

my favorites pics of 'the eras tour' ♡

bsd villains are like “we gotta stop JRR Tolkien and Dr. Seuss before they blow up the entire city with remote activated petrol bombs they’ve rigged onto children in the sewers and we need to decipher the code from the Rosetta Stone hidden in the mafia control room.”

Character profile;

Name: Dazai Jisatsu 

Name origin: "Jisatsu" may or may not directly translate into "suicide" from Japanese 😭 I mean it's fitting though? 

Gender: male, he/him

Family: Osamu, Chuuya, Shiwasu (older twin sister)

Ability name: A Human's Sorrow

Ability description: my friend (@mi1ikan) came up with this mishmash of Soukoku's abilities; basically, Jisatsu can "kidnap" and take an ability user's ability just by touching them, and he doesn't need to keep constant contact to keep nullifying. The longer he keeps the ability "captive" the more it damages his health though (similar to Chuuya's damage during Corruption). The more abilities he kidnaps all at once, the faster his health deteriorates. When he "kidnaps" an ability his appearance changes, his hair goes from brown to orange and his eyes go from blue to a reddish-brown (so he can't really hide when he's taken an ability)

Age: 19

Height: 5'11

Occupation(s): student, Port Mafia executive 

Likes: alcohol, dogs, teasing others, fashion, going for drives to clear his mind

Dislikes: pain, dogs, rats, hard work, death

Birthday: August 13th

Hair color(s): brown (changes to orange)

Eye color(s): blue (changes to a reddish-brown)

I really can't draw oh my God he looks like a serial killer and a fuckboy at the same time 😭🙏 I'm sorry my art skills can't do his justice 😔

This series of artworks/characters has been really fun tbh, I really liked making Jisatsu. (And while illustrating all these semi-OCs I'll still be experimenting with digital art lmao)

He's the second youngest person to become a Port Mafia executive (at 19; Dazai holds the record at 18). His sister Shiwasu is also an executive at 19, but since she's older she's third youngest (they were both promoted at the same time).

Jisatsu is a happy kid, and while he's a bit of a tease he's not an idiot. He gets work done (although not quickly) and he's capable of taking care of himself, he's liked by most people

Next is Ranpoe :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUUYA MY FAVORITE PORT MAFIA EXECUTIVE<33

I didn't draw Chuuya anything for his birthday sadly 😔 but happy birthday, chibi :]

Nakajima Atsushi...and the slow steps it takes to fully believe in yourself. A lot of stories have the main character go through some deep monologue that ends with a boost of bravery and "I still have a long way to go"/"even if I fall I will get up again" message by the end, and that's not a bad thing at all. However, with atsushi it's so important to have a deeply wounded character who selfishly wants to hide and survive slowly take the steps needed to believe in his own heart.

A lot of people criticized atsushi for being too cowardly and whiny to be a protagonist, they remind me of the people in my life who rush me into "getting better", wanting him to develop at a pace faster than he can manage. but to me it's comforting to know that he acts like most of us. We are always afraid and full of doubts in life, sticking to much easier routes and bsd doesn't immediately condemn you for it. It's comforting to know that these slow, staggering steps are both normal and achievable, that you can find confidence at your own pace.

Thank you atsushi for being the main character ever.

"and then..."

AND THEN WHAT AKUTAGAWA

YOU REALIZED YOU DIDN'T HATE HIM? YOU REALIZED HE MEANT THE WORLD TO YOU? YOU REALIZED HE VALUED YOU? YOU REALIZED YOU CARED ABOUT HIM? YOU REALIZED THAT HE WAS YOUR EQUAL?

oh my god chapter 122 is killing me it's amazing

If the actual end of the sentence is "and then I realized I love him" I WILL LOSE MY SHIT.

FUNNIEST FRAME IN THE WHOLE BSD

Exactly! Atsushi's a hugger, so him hugging Akutagawa wouldn't even be a stretch

Especially since it would be relationship development from how Akutagawa used to say "don't touch me" to him

Also Atsushi doesn't just hug, he basically tackles, so considering the fact that Akutagawa would be tired af from fighting, if Atsushi did end up hugging him he would probably knock Akutagawa to the ground lol 😭

Yk, with the eventual sskk reunion, them hugging is 100% a real possiblity

Right after Ranpo and Poe kidnapped Kunikida from the hospital and brought him back, Atsushi literally leaped and hugged Kuni

I think he'd hug Akutagawa when he sees him again (or maybe vice versa if Akutagawa really is that emotional now)

Both sides of sskk can't even deny their feelings now, it's amazing development

If we ever do get blessed with a sskk hug in the future, I will have a heart attack from happiness
