I just love this page. Atsushi realizes that he almost lost someone who he never took the time to understand. this boy, this stranger, who has burrowed so deep into his mind, who has been completely incomprehensible to him, who died for him, is, beneath it all, just like him. they're the same. they always have been.
its regret. about the words he's said, the wound's he's inflicted, the fact that he did not see the boy right in front of him. he walked away, a specter, misunderstood, never being told that its okay for him to live. okay for him to exist in this world.
for the first time, he thinks he understands akutagawa ryuunosuke and its breaking his heart. he's breaking his heart.
What movies do you think Atsushi and Akutagawa would watch on a date night?
hm. atsushi is the #1 studio ghibli movie guy and he likes watching spirited away or howl's moving castle or my neighbor totoro one hundred times, and akutagawa is a goth who only watches the crow or good vampire movies or things with bela lugosi in them. this means that obviously they will watch movies that match neither of their tastes whatsoever but they still somehow like anyway, those being legally blonde and mean girls and other movies of that sort
Mood: atsushi reaching for akutagawa as one of them dies
My friend got a huge peep plushie, she named him Crouton
Crouton is allegedly evil and she sent me a picture of a flashlight being pointed up at his face like someone telling a scary story to show off his evilness 😔 I drew him bc he's beautiful

Random quickly drawn Akutagawa doodle inspired by, you guessed it, chapter 121.5
The panel where his eyes grow lighter and lighter as he realizes who he is, who Atsushi is, and how much Atsushi means to him just as Atsushi dies to save him, is honestly magical
This. This is why I love Sskk shippers and the Sskk community
Chapter 121.5 as told by people's reactions from the activity page. Lives were changed
I can't get over the connection that Atsushi and Akutagawa have in this recent chapter. "Feel strongly" - and Atsushi sees Akutagawa's past. His heart is just so thoroughly connected to Akutagawa that it is the first thing he focuses on.
And then Akutagawa recalls the meeting with Dazai the moment Atsushi experiences it. So at least while Atsushi is in the four-dimensional space, they are connected on a deeper level than before, it's something like a mind-meld even.
Atsushi seeing what Akutagawa went through. What drove him. What he thought, how that changed over time, culminating in sacrifice.
This manga keeps inventing SSKK being soulmates with every chapter and I'm insane over it.
Here's a sskk Spotify playlist I made if anyone wants it
Her character profile;
Name: Akutagawa Shiori
Name origin: she's the only bsd ship kid I made without an actual name origin 🙏 I made Shiori a long time ago (I've been a sskk enthusiast for an ungodly amount of time), I think I just looked up female Japanese names and picked Shiori bc of the "shi" in it being like the "shi" in Atsushi lol. So yeah there's not really any meaning behind her name
Gender: female, she/her
Family: Ryuunosuke, Atsushi, Hiroshi (older brother)
Ability name: Demon Under the Moonlight
Ability description: it's basically Atsushi's ability, except she's got grey fur with black stripes. Also in exchange for regeneration, she can manipulate her tiger tail similarly to Rashomon, where it can extend or sharpen. She does turn into a weretiger during the full moon, but they had Dazai deal with that, until Fukuzawa hired her at 14 for an "apprentice detective" spot at the Agency, where Fukuzawa's ability took care of the problem
Age: 16
Height: 5'5
Occupation(s): student, apprentice detective at the Agency
Likes: chazuke, cats, figs, springtime, ice skating, reading
Dislikes: mandarin oranges, dolls, cigarettes, the smell of blood
Birthday: April 2nd
Hair color(s): black and white
Eye color(s): silver (right eye), gold and purple (left eye)

I'm horrible at digital art so please excuse the poorly skilled drawing, but the first picture is Shiori in color, the second is just a random doodle and the third is the original draft. I will be drawing her brother soon, but anyways, here's Sskk's daughter! I hope you like her (✿^‿^)
Her birthday is April 2nd because it's exactly between March 1st (Akutagawa's birthday) and May 5th (Atsushi's birthday) lol. Her design is a little crazy, but please know that Atsushi is the one who cuts her hair and that's why it's that horrendous 😔
Shiori is kind and nice, but is usually tactless/blunt and can be really cold when she wants to be. Don't get on her bad side lmao
(regarding this whole "bsd ship kids" series, you're probably wondering how tf any of these very-much-not-biologically-possible characters are here, and since this whole series is just for fun, I don't really care on the answer; I decided on there just being an ability user who can give people children despite gender. Also in terms of abilities for the kids, they will either be mashups of their parent's abilities, or just something similar to their themes, I'm not the most creative person in the world lol. Once again, please don't take any of this too seriously and also ignore my crappy art)
Skk is next :]
