Imagine you are Akutagawa. You wake up a blank slate- knowing simply your name and your purpose: protect the princess. Protect the commoners. Those are your only thoughts. Your only duty.
And so you do.
You must slay the evil that threatens the princess. Slaughter it so that it never darkens her doorstep again. Destroy it so that no commoner must fear again. But what you find is not simply the evil, but someone else. He seems to recognize you, but you cannot. He calls to you, afraid- you don't listen. Who is he?
No matter. He is a commoner, which means he must be protected. That is all there is to it. All that matters is destroying the evil in front of you. Nothing more. Nothing less. That is your duty as a knight.
You clash with the evil, a blur of blades and power and sparks. You fight to protect and to serve and to succeed.
And then you fall. You don't quite know how, but you fall nonetheless. You are prone and bleeding and hurt. You are lifted into the air, pain and anger and the voices: Protect the Princess. Protect the commoners. Protect the Princess. Protect the commoners. But you cannot move. You cannot fight. You accept your fate as a knight should. That is all you can do.
A weight crashes into you, heavy and deliberate. You feel yourself fall again, but this time it's different. Because you see him. Arms outstretched. Arm. Arm outstretched. He saved you- protected you. He let himself hurt for you. Die for you. Why? Why would he do this? Who is he? What is he? Why?
Why?
Why?
"Consider us even. Away with you..." he smiles at you, turning to light. "...you fool."
And you remember.
And you remember.
And you scream because that is your partner, your other half, your fool. The man you found enough to hurt for. To die for. To protect because he is Atsushi Nakajima and that was reason enough.
And you remember.
And you scream.

I almost gave Akutagawa red laces but then I remembered what that generally means in lace code and I know its not always a mandatory coding rule but I changed it to purple (for lgbtq pride) to make myself feel better.

Been having BSD Band AU thoughts..
Children in Gaza are losing their limbs every day—just like the little girl in this heartbreaking photo. The war has stolen their futures, their mobility, and their right to live in peace. My own son, Qais, is just two years old. He was injured in an airstrike, and I cannot afford the medical treatment he desperately needs. As a mother with no income, I beg you—please Donate and help us. Your donation could be the reason Qais walks again.
This is the terrifying reality for many children in Gaza:
1. Airstrikes often target residential areas, leaving children with life-altering injuries.
2. Hospitals lack medicine and equipment, and most families cannot afford private care.
3. Children like Qais are at risk of permanent disability, even death, without timely treatment.
I watch my child cry in pain every night, and I can do nothing but hold him. No mother should face this. We need your support now more than ever. Every donation—no matter the amount—can help save Qais’s , his future, and his life. Please, don’t look away. Help us heal.
Donate Now Here
Please stop ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭
Vetted by @gazavetters , my number verified on the list is ( #64 )🍉🇵🇸
Atsushi swears like a sailor at times and everyone around him is so shocked by it.
Akutagawa will use obscure insults from centuries ago that no one is even super sure what it means but it sure feels bad.
Headcanon: Akutugawa rarely swears. Not because he’s against it or whatever. It’s because he thinks it’s “beneath him” to do so.
It lacks any tact or creativity when he’s trying to verbally destroy his opponent in the most painful way possible.
Atsushi however will use ever swear in the book and probably ones no one’s ever heard of.
Not british but this is really important @thetoker420 @bungostraydogs-nextgen @hartogtm + anyone who Ive forgotten and anyone who happens to see this
So firstly, I would like to say
FUCK U UK SUPREME COURT
YOU PIECES OF ABSITE FUCKING SHIT
WTF ARE YOU DOING
For those of you who don’t know what im talking about,
So basically
you might not have heard of the UK Supreme Court decision stating that trans women are not women under the Equality act, which effectively sets the UK 50 years back in terms of queer progression. They stated that a woman is based on their biological sex, which rules out transgenderism in general.
This is a dire effect not just on trans women, but British women and queers. If you are a British citizen, please sign this petition to appeal this ruling and fight for equality, and if not, please share with others. Thank you.
And for those of you who arent British citizens,
You can still share this post

Urhghhh I wish I could like reblogs that are hashtags only bc some ppl say the nicest things in hashtags and it pains me when I cant respond
Gorgeous. the difference in lighting hue is so subtle but impactful, the contrast between Akutagawa's big dark, almost hollow irises and Atsushi's soulful bright ones. Not technically this artwork specific but I just realized the fact that in both situations the one sacrificing themselves was wearing primarily white while the one watching was in primarily black. Going back to the fanart I really like the way OP draws Aku you did him so right with the void eyes and the emotion in his face in the second one is very good. Also love the hair it's so natural looking
