Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Dazai: To the new year! I’m going to finally die this year!
Chuuya: Stop making promises you don’t intend to keep! You’re getting my hopes up!
It’s been an amazing Christmas, finally got my red head twice!
The new chapter turned me into a whole sskk shipper. I used to just like them. But now I am a whole airconditioner. I am so easy to please.
"if they are enemies, let them stay enemies. They are enemies in the canon 😡"
Me: No they are lovers, hope that helps ❤️❤️
i would pay a million dollars for anyone to draw chuuya nikolai ship art. it’s for my mental health
HEAR ME OUT
We all know of the ever changing color of Chuuyas eyes. And this is a perfect moment to perform some of my super special ultra expert self projection!
Basically, what if Chuuyas eyes are also a personalized mood ring? And I don't mean that as in the labs did something to make them change with his ability or something (though I do love the idea), I mean they just change colors every now and then. Like one day they're grey, and then a or so week later they're a bright ass blue.
Imagine Dazai, who has only seen Chuuyas eyes in their Muted grey and blue tones, walks over to tease him while they're outside on a sunny day, then gets blinded because what the hell why are your eyes bright fucking blue?
Chuuya, however, just wants to know why Dazais giving him a weird look because he doesn't bother keeping track of what color his eyes are that day. They just do whatever they want and frankly Chuuya gave up trying to coordinate his outfits to fit so he stopped caring
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 文豪ストレイドッグス | Bungou Stray Dogs Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Nakahara Chuuya/Nakajima Atsushi (Bungou Stray Dogs) Characters: Nakahara Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs), Nakajima Atsushi (Bungou Stray Dogs) Additional Tags: Dehumanization, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Nakajima Atsushi Needs a Hug (Bungou Stray Dogs), Nakahara Chuuya Needs a Hug (Bungou Stray Dogs), Nightmares, Childhood Trauma, Whumptober 2024 Summary:
The world was dark. So, so endlessly dark. Even on the days Atsushi was able to step outside, to feel the sun hitting his skin and to hear the laughter of the other children, it was all so dark and cold. The warmth of the sun felt distant, and the laughter grated against his ears, a symphony of sounds he could not make, a joy he could not know.
Atsushi relives his past during a nightmare, comfort is given, a lifelong question is answered.
Finally finished another whumptober prompt! This is my first time writing for ChuuAtsu so I hope yall like it!
So my discovery of being aroace really changed my perspective on skk alot, so imma ramble about that.
I'll be honest, I saw those two as like, boyfriends, with an established romantic relationship and stuff. Now I kinda see them as having a queer platonic relationship. Partially because I feel like labels disgust them. They beat them back with a stick. Or gun. Or corruption. ANYWAYS, the point is that they are very close, but I don't think they're boyfriends. They support each other, be honest with one another (sometimes, Chuuya probably forces Dazai a bit), and just do a bunch of random stuff together, of course with a little arguing. So they're so close they have a relationship, but are they dating? No, they'd probably both stare at you in disgust I'd you said that. Then wtf are they? Partners. It's not really romantic, and that's kinda because I feel like at least one of them I'd aromantic. Which one? Who knows. Maybe it's both, maybe it's actually none and I'm just projecting. But also because I just think they aren't into having any romance. Can they have romantic feelings? Yeah, probably. Do they not want them and actively avoid them? Yes. So they're just soukoku, nothing more, nothing less. They are them, and frankly that little look back and a new perspective on them makes me really happy.
Chapter 8 of my fanfic is out! If you haven't read it before it's basically bsd but if Chuuya found Atsushi instead of Dazai!
Edit: If you want to read this you will need an account! I had to put everything to members only to prevent scrappers. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I have kept this in my brain for like a month now and I can't fight the voices that say to spit it out anymore. Under the cut is a stupid long rant about how I view skks relationship is. The TLDR would be I see them as two people who dance around and near eachother constantly, yet never meet.
Ok to get more into this, I mean that they express their every feeling through actions. They move perfectly in sync, their thoughts lining up with the other perfectly, where one can't succeed the other does so with ease, they don't speak about anything, they just act on what the others actions tells them. The thing is, they're still dancing around the other. They don't move to the other to do a full on partner dance, holding the other in their arms as they guide each other. They never allow any distance to close, never fully unguard themselves, never allow the other to come close. So, they stare from opposite ends of the stage, moving in sync, yet never touching. To add on to that, it's like they're in a masquerade too. They have masks on, false faces and personalities to conceal their true selves. Even when around the other and alone, I don't think the mask is ever truly off. Their actions say one thing, but the voice and faces say another. Sometimes, they see little cracks, imperfections in the others act, yet those are patched up as quickly as they were seen. They care but they pretend they don't. Their actions, the way the move around each other, screams that they want to be close, that they want to show every last bit of themselves to the other. Yet, when they look at each other, the mask is still on, they still have their manufactured personalities. Sure, they see the less used personalities, the ones that tend to expose some truth, that tend to create cracks in their facade, yet never is it gone. I guess what I'm trying to get at is that they read each other perfectly like an open book, but since they never speak about it, never talk about what they see in the cracks or the others actions, they never reveal themselves. They are stuck orbiting around each other, never meeting, yet always there in view of the other. Both want, neither takes. Whether that is out of fear, defensiveness, protectiveness, something else, or some combination of several, neither of them ever really try to meet each other. Or take off the masks. Perhaps Chuuya does sometimes, but he is still holding himself back. Dazai straight up doesn't try, but he does fight internally with himself about it.
Ok this is kinda random but please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks black sheep from Scott pilgrim fits skk so well
I just realized that I should probably reblog this with the finished fic so here you go! Hope you enjoy :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUUYAAAAAAA
OK SO I HAVE A FIC FOR HIS B-DAY BUT I PROBABLY WONT BE ABLE TO GET IT FINISHED AND POSTED TO AO3 UNTIL LIKE TOMMOROW OR WEDNESDAY SO ILL GIVE EVERYONE A LIL SNIPPET FOR OUR BIRTHDAY BOY
Now, normally, Dazai was never into celebrating. But today, oh today was different. Today, it was Chibi's birthday. Dazai had decided to skip work for the perfect chance at getting under the slugs skin today. He could deal with Kunikidas complaints on missing work pretty much all of last week tomorrow. He went into a brightly colored and well lit shop, and as swiftly as he came in, he was gone with a white plastic bag now in tow. He looked particularly cheery walking on the sidewalk, and he enjoyed his peaceful little stroll all the way to Chuuyas house. The closer he got, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to see the slugs face when he barged into the orange haired man's apartment, and especially the face said man would make at the wonderful gift he was going to get.
Dazai had gotten to the door and then entered the pin to get in. Silly Chibi, never changing the lock code after all these years. He busted through the door, though he didn't break it this time. He would be a little courteous today, considering the date and all. Though, when Dazai didn't hear an angry slug yelling, or even him running over to the door to see what the noise was, he became a little confused. Was Chuuya really not off today? He thought that Koyou had convinced him to take the day off. Maybe it didn't work? But if that was the case, then why were the extra locks on the door not turned on?
“Chibi~ Where are you~ it's rude to hide from your owner you know!”
…
No reaction? Did something happen? Dazai finally actually stepped into the apartment, and carefully closed the door behind him. Then, cautiously, he looked around the apartment for any signs of the little slug. When he glanced over the couch, he saw Chuuya, but something was off.
Sure, he was in his hilariously adorable pajamas, and even wore the pants Dazai gave to him forever ago as a prank gift. The old joke mug was on the table too, but neither of those were really unusual. After all, Dazai had done this on Chuuyas off days before, and this part was actually relatively normal. He had teased Chuuya a lot about using old gifts from Dazai a lot. Nearly every time he visited, in fact. But no matter what, Chuuya still continued to use them religiously. Even on days Dazai stayed over, he would see Chuuya drinking out of the World's Best Dog mug calmly in the morning, see how he changed into those stupid sheep pants every night. No, what was weird was that Chuuya seemed out of it.
He was staring at an old picture in a worn wooden frame, and it was like Chuuya had lost all awareness of the world around him.
Now, that wouldn't do. How was Dazai supposed to sufficiently annoy the Chibi when he was like this? So he walked up right behind Chuuya, making sure to be silent so Chuuya wouldn't notice him and hide the picture. When he saw it, everything clicked. What did Dazai do in response?
He flung his arms around Chuuya from behind of course!
“Chibiiiiii! You can't neglect your owner like this! What's the point of visiting if my dear little dog won't even pay attention to me?”
Dazai had said it in his most sing-song and pouty voice possible. Chuuya had finally snapped out of it. And swung his head back to look at Dazai.
“huh!? What the hell, Mackerel!? The fuck are you doing at my place!”
“Your hat must have finally eaten your brain if you hadn't realized what day it is! Why wouldn't I visit my dear dog on such a special day~”
“stop calling me your fucking dog! Of course I didn't forget what day it is! I just thought you had the sense to remember that I don't fucking celebrate it. Did the agency finally make you lose all your damn sense?”
“Chibis so mean! I even bothered to get you a present, and you still bully me!”
There, Chuuya had finally put the picture down on the table.
“I swear to fucking God if you got me a replacement for that dumbass slug shirt I'm throwing you out the damn window.”
“Rude! I would never reuse the same joke!”
“Yes the fuck you would!”
“Hmph! Well, either way, I got you something even better!”
This was my first time grabbing a writing snippet so sorry if it starts and ends weirdly TAT Hope you like it though and of course Happy Birthday to our little mafioso!
I finally finished and posted the Chuuya B-day fanfic! It's just a little domestic skk Fluff where Dazai goes to visit Chuuya and brings him a little something as a birthday surprise! Hope you enjoy it if you decide to read it :>

I have brought to you headcanons for Chuuya, Atsushi, and Dazai!
WARNING: These headcanons are about eating disorders and unhealthy relationships with food in general. I am not a professional and have not had any ED's myself, so these headcanons are based solely off of my research and conversations I've had with loved ones who have experienced them. Please seek professional help if you struggle with any eating disorders and proceed with caution.
EDIT: added all the tags I forgot
1. Atsushi has Binge Eating Disorder. Since the orphanage restricted his food so much, he eats uncontrollably a lot and tends to starve himself a bit in between binges. Kyouka knows and tries to help Atsushi, but I don't actually think a lot of the ada members know. Atsushi hides it well and Kyouka respects Atsushis wishes to keep it under wraps. Dazai probably thinks something is up but isn't sure, and Ranpo probably knows about it, but neither say anything to avoid making Atsushi uncomfortable or nervous. Atsushi doesn't really eat in front of people either. The only exception is snacking when he gets super bad hunger panes (I'm talking not going days with eating little to nothing, usually that happens because of mission). Even then he will only binge or really eat in general until he's alone.
2. Chuuya used to have ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). Because of him living in the slums until he was 15, he got used to ignoring hunger panes and limiting how much he was eating because of a lack of food, so when he was accepted into the Port Mafia, he brought those habits with him, and would only eat a certain amount at specific times, usually when he was alone. He probably only ate certain foods like bread, canned products, mostly things that wouldn't expire or would provide a lot of energy without eating much. Koyou, Dazai, and the Flags all helped him work through it so he doesn't have it by the time Canon rolls around and is careful about maintaining a good relationship with food for their sakes. Koyou also checks in on him whenever they meet up.
3. Not really ED related and I've seen this one a lot, but Dazai has days where he has a food aversion because of his depression. The thought of or seeing food makes him sick, or sometimes it's just days where he doesn't feel hungry at all. The days range from being able to eat if its his canned crab, to only drinking a glass or two of whiskey if anything (I imagine that whiskey is a kind of comfort drink to him because of the days where he drank at bar lupin with oda and ango), to refusing to eat and drink anything, whether it's his safe/comfort food or drink or not. Kunikida knows this and it's the main reason he checks in on Dazai to see if he's eaten. I don't think Kunikida is entirely aware of his safe food and drink, though, so if it's one of those days, Kunikida will just take a lot of time gently urging Dazai to eat something. Ranpo also probably knows about it and will sometimes throw a piece of candy Dazais way on those days. The combined efforts usually convince Dazai to eat a bit of canned crab, though it's always alone. Chuuya also knows and will get on Dazai about not eating. He'll also prep some canned crab and keeps a bottle of whiskey at his place just in case. Sure they're not healthy at all but it's better than nothing. The food aversion days were more frequent and worse back when he was still in the PM, and he's gotten better with them now. Though they do still happen every now and then of course.
I wrote a super short one-shot of Dazai and Chuuya meeting at the graveyard if yall wanna read it!!
The main heads up is that it's implied skk and it's a little angsty :)
HI HELLO IM BACK WITH CHUUYA HEADCANON
Ok I imagine Chuuya is obsessed with music. And not like a specific genre he just in general really likes music. Listen to all sorts of genres, foreign music, you name it he's heard of it and probably likes it (pretty sure the only exception would be the rappers that just talk really fast or mumble random stuff into a mic). Like he has this secret wish to get an electric guitar and learn how to play it. He also probably has one of those online sites to compose with. (I bet you Koyou bought him a synth machine for his b-day or something once she figured out Chuuya has a passion for it. She would've bought him a nice program to go with it too) When he gets super emotional since he is also emotionally constipated like Dazai he will make music based off of it. At first he cared if it sounded good but now he doesn't and just makes music as a stress reliever and a fun hobby outside of work. Oh also he has a great singing voice secretly. Once Dazai learned about that and his little hobby Chuuya would get teased non stop about becoming a professional one day.

"He was stuck in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by only green grass and the orange hues of the setting sun. He was contemplating what to do, when he heard cursing. 'Goddammit! Why the fuck did it have to break now!?'"
Or a fanfic based on if Chuuya found Atsushi instead of Dazai!
If you're bored feel free to read this fanfic I am writing!
Also if anyone has AU names PLEASE tell me for this cause I REALLY wanna write some side stories for it soon but I need to shove it in a collection and have no fucking clue what to name it TAT
Also if I finish up writing the first Arc soon I might just dump a bunch of chapters at once since I'm excited for people to read it :D
I feel like there's untapped skk angst. Like dazai purposefully caused the rift between the Sheep and by proxy the betrayal. Like I need those two getting into an actual fucking argument as those old wounds reopen before they say they love each other.
I mean they'll still wanna punch eachother during their relationship BUT with slightly less genuine hate towards each other.
WAIT OMG THAT SOUNDS ADORABLEEEEE I NEED TO SEE THIS
Atsushi: *he finds a particular red head mumbling to themself and wiping a motorcycle clean* he excuse me ma'am or sir...
Chuuya: *he looks over at Atsushi* .... Is there something you need?
Atsushi: *panics* do you need help?
Chuuya: ..... Help would be appreciated
Atsushi helps Chuuya clean the motorcycle
Chuuya: I need to pay you back somehow... You hungry?
Atsushi: *slowly nods*
Chuuya: great let's go
They get some tea on rice, chazuke?
Atsushi: thank you Mr..?
Chuuya: Nakahara, Chuuya Nakahara
Atsushi oh I'm Atsushi Nakajima and thank you Mr. Nakahara
And Atsushi unintentionally followed Chuuya to the Mafia HC to which when he turned into a tiger alone with Chuuya, Chuuya treated him with the respect he ever rarely got when he was younger and now Chuuya just has a "pet" tiger and was just accepted as a respected member of the mafia
The mafia recognizes that they should not do anything to the tiger or Atsushi
Atsushi and Chuuya become close and at some point Atsushi meets Kenji and they become friends as well
Atsushi thought at some point it was okay to introduce Kenji to Chuuya
And thus forming a friendship circle of three people lol
Kenji: so Atsushi is my friend and your friend...
Chuuya: yea??
Kenji: We shall be friends!!
Chuuya: *smiles* then we shall kiddo
Atsushi: *smiles*
I like to think that Chuuya understands why Dazai left and wasn't all that mad about it at first.
I think the hurt of being left built up over the four years. I think the first week or so Chuuya was like "Yeah? Well good for him I guess, better be quieter around now" and then he turns to tell Dazai something on a mission and he's not there. Of course he shrugs it off, no big deal he just need s a brief adjustment period. Shouldn't take long I mean how much can one person really affect your life?
And then he finds himself looking for Dazai to ask the name of the musical that has that one song. It got stuck in his head. Again. And it's annoying him and he makes it all the way to his living room before remembering Dazai's not there.
And then he sees the lump of Dazai's clothes on the couch and goes to tell him to at least put it away and he opens his mouth before remembers.
And then he makes food and when he's setting up his plate he notices he made enough for two. He won't admit it but he's not sure if that shit will remember to feed himself.
And then he's still buying the shampoo and conditioner Dazai likes. Not Chuuya's problem anymore, he thinks as he puts them away. Better to stalk up in case it's needed later.
And then he's still leaving Dazai's favorite blanket on the couch, he's still keeping bandages in his bathroom, still driving by the river to make sure there aren't any limbs sticking out, still watching the movies Dazai showed him and he wouldn't tell anyone but Dazai being gone affected everything and he's happy for him- really but if he ever sees him again he better have been just as fucked up.
And then he sees Dazai again, four years later on the day he came back from a mission. And he looks. Fine. Better than his Mafia days, better than when he was with Chuuya. Lucky him.
-E
I was today years old when I found out Chuuya's hair is called lovelock style. Apparently it was worn by European men in the late 16th to early 17th century. It was worn to symbolise deep devotion for a loved one...take that how you will.
It was also seen as an effeminate hair style. Also Verlaine wears it the same way so again...take that how you will.
Chuuya: How do we wake him up?
Dazai: True love’s kiss!
Chuuya: What?
Dazai: I kiss him and he wakes up.
Sigma: *Sits up* I’m awake! Don’t kiss me!
Dazai: Why the hell did you punch me, slug?!
Chuuya: Because you tried to kiss me!
Dazai: You were under a mistletoe!
Chuuya: You put it there!
Dazai: Damn it Chuuya! Just love me already!
Atsushi: Dazai, what are you doing?
Dazai: Thinking of someone very special~
*At Port Mafia Headquarters*
Chuuya: WHAT THE HELL?! WHY DID I GET A SHIVER DOWN MY SPINE?!
Chuuya: You’re a pain in my ass, Dazai!
Dazai: Yeah, sorry about that I’ll use lube next ti- *Chokes*
Chuuya: *Strangling Dazai*
Mori: *Looks at Kouyou* You owe me Seven hundred thousand yen.
Kouyou: I could have sworn Chuuya was the dominate one in the relationship.
Dazai: Fuck you Chuuya!
Chuuya:*Not even thinking* Fuck me yourself, mackerel!
Dazai: *Unzips pants* Alright.
Chuuya: *Runs* Fuck no!
Dazai: *Chases him* I’m honoring your request, Chuuya~!
Kunikida: *Sent Dazai to get rid of Chuuya* HOW THE HELL DID THAT WORK?!
Fyodor: *Holding Dazai down in a bathtub* You are being baptized Dazai!
Chuuya: Keep him there longer I think I see some demons left in him.
Atsushi: Don’t serial killer go after the whores first?
Chuuya: *Looks at Dazai* Nice knowing you.
