#atsushi would’ve ended up an assassin in canon if things went any differently
Text
beast will always mean SO much to me because of everything it tells us about atsushi and akutagawa. all the parallels between them. they were both victims of circumstance—akutagawa ended up on the side of “good” in beast and atsushi didn’t and at their core they were both just teenagers trying to find a way to survive with the hand that was dealt to them
#bungo stray dogs#bsd#bungou stray dogs#shin soukoku#sskk#atsushi nakajima#akutagawa ryuunosuke#bsd beast#i hate talking about morally gray characters and themes because i can never get it right like i can never hit the right points#but i think this is a pretty goood example#atsushi would’ve ended up an assassin in canon if things went any differently#and it sounds so cliche but. they were just KIDS#they were doing anything they could to survive#it didn’t matter to akutagawa that he was gonna be a ruthless killer in the mafia#as long as he had his reason to live he didn’t care#even if in beast he talks about morality and how he could never picture himself in the mafia#god. i love them. i’m sick.
