Dumb little things

There's a reason Zhongli's character story about why he decided to retire first explains how Rex Lapis met Barbatos. With a gust of wings on the wind, the new lord of anemo dropped down into Liyue offering wine and company, abandoning his duties for that? It baffled Morax for over two thousand years. Yet Morax invited the other archons into Liyue. Morax entertained all of Barbatos's questions. Then five of their friends fell. The wind would not return as Barbatos slumbered away most of the time Morax could have used his company.

So when he heard that merchant say your duties are done. It all clicked into place. What Barbatos was trying to tell him all along. Sit back have a drink and be with friends. Duty is not all there is.

we're not doing enough with the fun fact that venti knows how to near-perfectly imitate zhongli's signature.

The beauty of Zhongven is that they've been married for centuries and when you have someone for so long you have your time periods of being so incredibly close and time periods of when you need some space from each other so I interpret their relationship as one of the open type.

Time to time they both go to other people but they always come drifting back to each other. Mortal lives are fleeting and should be cherished while they last. They, on the other hand, will have each other for all eternity.

Like, fuck bro, they introduce their partners to each other time to time and when they speak about each other they can't even mask the deep-rooted fondness of centuries so their partners sometimes have to do a double take and question whether they're witnessing a friendship or some irl soulmate bullshit. They're bad at hiding affection for each other so they have to evaluate which partners they're willing to take the risk of introducing.

Sometimes it leads to occasional threesomes or more... Gods ought to have some fun, you know And they value all their partners greatly too, even if at the end of it all they'll always find each other in a familiar embrace of one another.

Like, they didn't like each other at first. Or more accurately, Morax didn't like Barbatos because to him Barbatos was an enigma. Even while being surrounded with gods like Guizhong who had their fair share of unorthodox ways of rulership, Barbatos was completely and utterly different. He claimed he had given his nation freedom but to Morax it seemed like nothing more nor less than abandonment of a cowardly or lazy God.

So when he showed up in Liyue Harbour purely to invite Morax for a drink, he was flabbergasted and kept searching for Barbatos' true intentions. Which turned to be futile because for some reason, this weak and irresponsible God had been telling the truth and kept fleeting around Liyue purely for entertainment and morax' company. And no matter how much he denied it, he couldn't help the feeling of fondness whenever the wind tides in Liyue turned and Mondstadt's god of freedom descended to his abode with another drinking invitation. Or simply a request to walk among the humans, just them in the crowd of strangers. Of 'his children' as Barbatos has cheerfully proclaimed them to be with deep fondness straight from his hearth. Morax' children. And he thinks faintly that somehow, even if Barbatos officially has nothing to do with Liyue, they are his children too. He had never before thought of his people like that. But it fits. Painfully so.

So how could one not grow terribly fond of a god who manages to bring out the best in everything he frets around?

As time passes they both face losses, in from of friends, acquaintances, fellow archons, their people, their children, and Morax terribly dreads the day he'll find himself alone, when the wind of his mental stability will cease playfully spinning around him and be laid down to rest, replaced by some other soul who, no matter how much it'll strive to do so, will never be able to reach even close to the warmth of Barbatos' words and actions, whose winds will bring nothing but pain accompanying memories.

The cataclysm is the first time in all of the long years of companionship that he clearly sees Barbatos break down. He can't blame him, he has a feeling that much like he himself, Barbatos is weighted down by the same worries. They're just pawns to celesties, now the last remaining archons of the original seven. Two lonesome souls left alone in this world.

He knows he wouldn't be able to bear losing Barbatos too and he suspects Barbatos is much the same.

They find solace in each other's company, much like always, but there's something different to it. They're the last two. The only remaining ones. And Morax knows he'll hold onto Barbatos not only for how long the Celestia will allow him to, but beyond that. They're complete with each other, no matter how much time it'll pass before they see one another again, no matter who gets to warm their way to their hearts in the meantime, they'll always end up in an embrace of soothing winds and stable rocks, support to many and to each other.

And if anyone intends to take the blessing that is Barbatos away from this world, they'll have to suffer Morax' wrath first.

Venti and Zhongli have a bond that can only be formed from committing war crimes and multiple atrocities against humanity together.

After going through the Archon war and watching/actively participating in the eternal imprisonment and/or murder of most gods until there were only a handful left: wow I’m so glad we’ll never have to contribute to such a mass slaughter ever again.

Roughly 2,500 years later, in Khaenri’ah: oh no

You cannot tell me that wouldn’t create the weirdest relationship ever from an outsiders perspective.

Zhongli pulls Venti away from some asshole who keeps trying to hit on Venti and isn’t taking no for an answer. Everyone watching commends him because he’s watching out for his partner, but Zhongli doesn’t get why. Because in reality Zhongli’s seen Venti decapitate someone for the same reason a few hundred years ago and he really just didn’t want to have to clean blood out of his jacket.

If you ask him about weapons Venti is surprisingly extremely knowledgeable. People assume despite his looks he must be extremely familiar in wielding each of the weapons talked about. But the actual only reason he knows all of it is because during periods of war Zhongli would drone on for hours about different benefits of each weapon an their subtypes for different kinds of battle.

They have each thrown entire mountains/typhoons at each other not as threats or genuine attempt to hurt each other. More so because they’re both multiple millennium old gods and that’s just their equivalent of play fighting.

When they’re together They’ll casually mention something about the archon war, to people that know who they are, like it wasn’t even a big deal. And the people they were talking to have to reevaluate their entire image of the two they made in their head because whatever the most sadistic thing they could think of couldn’t even compare to what the two just admitted to.

I don’t know I just think people should play with the fact these two are VERY old and literal gods who’ve witnessed most of Tevyats history and development more

Can’t believe Zhongven can be reduced to a dumb DnD joke of « bard rolling nat 20 to seduce dragon ». They so silly fr fr

Also head common venti/Barbados sits on zhonghi shoulder out of habbit well he sits on any part of the man and zhonghi/morax dose not give a shit he acts like it's normal. It's not and everybody has to ignore that yes thier is a person on zhonghis stretched out hand. Or yes their is a person standing on his head. Why is thier a person sitting on your left shoulder.

This is a habbit that let's venti read the wind without being distracted because he is short. Zhonghi treats it like one dose a cat can't do shit about it especially if venti falls asleep in the sun or ontop of him.

i dont have a caption for this one

Someone save Atsushi from there

some warmth for atsushi because he has suffered enough

I love how despite the show being called Bungou Stray Dogs, most of the characters are either cat coded or canonically cat people OR they just dislike dogs.

And as a cat person myself, I absolutely adore this little detail (I love dogs too ofc, just prefer cats a little more)

The protagonist is literally a cat. (Okay yes, he's a tiger. Close enough lol)

Dazai was referred to as "a burnt black cat" by Oda. And he's also a cat person with a very obvious dislike for dogs.

The strongest gifted is LITERALLY A CAT.

Then of course there's Fukuzawa- the biggest cat person in the series. And Ranpo is also one of the most cat coded characters in the show (he's just as lazy as a cat)

Kyouka being the most adorable cat person

And then there's Haruno and her obsession with cats, specifically, Mii-chan (Natsume). Also, love how cat girl is just a...CAT girl. (We don't even know her name)

There's Akutagawa with his dislike for dogs (imo, he's also very cat coded. According to a CD drama, he hates baths. If that isn't very cat like, then I don't know what is)

Lastly, Chuuya being one of the few dog people in the show is so funny to me.

Maybe Chuuya is the true Bungou Stray Dog amidst all the stray cats.

I refuse to believe that someone in the Agency wouldn’t get Atsushi these gloves.

Atsushi doesn’t find it as amusing as everyone else. But he will admit, privately to himself that they are comfy.

Concept: Bungou Stray Dogs but the Atsushi’s a reverse weretiger.

He’s a tiger that can turn into a human.

The bounty was placed on his human side (people were pretty chill bout a tiger roaming round apparently) and his cover was instantly blown when Atsushi the tiger saved Dazai and turned human right infront of him.

It’s the fastest case that’s ever been closed and Atsushi’s still embarrassed about it.

Being raised more tiger then human (because the orphanage wouldn’t dare treat him as anything but a wild beast) Atsushi is pretty feral.

He doesn’t really understand much of the world given he was imprisoned and just relies on tiger instincts.

It’s okay though tea on rice is still his favourite food.

He starts to get the hang of things once All Men are Equals kicks in and he’s able to change form at will.

Though he prefers to be a tiger and as stated previously people are just weirdly chill about a tiger roaming around Yokohama.

Because giant tiger it may be but it’s still Atsushi. Besides he’s got a lil badge that says he’s with the Agency.

And frankly no one wants to question what they’re doing.

Definitely been moments when Atsushi drops his human form to get out of an argument. He does this to Akutugawa a lot and the man will carry on while Atsushi pretends he can’t understand him.

Atsushi does keep his human form as he works though he’s had to relearn a few things. Reading is something he managed to teach himself but writing isn’t his best suit.

The orphanage didn’t exactly care to teach a beast any of these things.

Kunikida does take him aside and teach him how. He still makes mistakes here and there but everyone’s supportive.

Atsushi’s also gotta be aware of if Dazai’s in a “annoy Kunikida mood.”

Well more than usual.

Because Dazai will grin with mischief and tap Atsushi and suddenly there’s a giant tiger in the middle of the office and oh oh fuck the paperwork!

Fortunately Kunikida has since stopped yelling at Atsushi for these instances and so Dazai gets the full brunt of his wrath.

Deserved.

There’s a joke in there about how Dazai’s ability renders (quite literally) no longer human.

Dead Apple was certainly interesting because with his ability gone Atsushi couldn’t exactly speak anymore. But Kyouka and the others know him well enough to understand his growls and such.

Akutagawa got right pissed about it because I knew you could understand me! And then dedicated more time he would never admit too to understanding tiger Atsushi.

Dazai showing up at the end to explain his side and instead Atsushi runs over and he opens his arms to get absolutely swept up in a tiger hug.

I saw this tweet and was like 'yep, that's atsushi'
