i was doomscrolling ship dynamics on Pinterest and suddenly thought of one i've loved for ages but I don't know if it has a name
PLEASE tell me you guys see the vision
My âHikaruâ mii just went to âwant to marryâ for Yoshiki which is wild bc theyâve been dating 1 day and theyâre not adults. Chill maybe.
the unfortunate side effect of developing a more critical eye for fan behaviour as a product of societyâ˘ď¸ is that new fan takes on a piece of media become fairly predictable. oh the white guy with daddy issues is your favourite? you think the asian man is an adorable subby cinnamon roll? you think the woman in a position of authority is either mom-coded or a total bitch? say less
Of course, Sanemi and Giyuu would understand each other. Nobody else in the series is self projecting to the degree they are. And both because they feel they can't measure up to the other hashira in their own ways. They're just the absolute opposites of the exact same problem. Sanemi "are you making fun of me" Shinazugawa meet Giyuu "all of you can see I'm not as good as him" Tomioka.

couldnât sleep so
friendly reminder sabigiyuu is still the best non canon kny ship. giyuu carrying sabito's haori on the side over his heart. his demon mark appearing where sabito slapped him. giyuu physically feeling sabito's touch just from hearing his name for the first time since he died. them finding eachother again in their reincarnation. sabito literally haunting giyuu and having an overwhelming amount of guilt for his death and not being able to let go of him even though sabito was more than willing to die to protect him. THIS IS A #REAL SHIP đđđź doomed yaoi will be the death of me.
i like to play n drawl
Mitsuri's weirdness is slept on me thinks. It's true that Mitsuri sorta represents normalcy in kny's bleak setting, despite being seen as unusual over something she can't control, but still, she's a weirdo <3 (affectionate) Maybe people forget that Mitsuri is weird because she doesn't have deceased parents (therefore isn't as unhinged as the other characters) and is girly(?) so surely, she must like normal girly things like makeup and shopping. I mean true! I'm sure she enjoys those, but I donât think those are the only things she would like. (besides food ofc) Mitsuri is depicted as so stereotypically girly that it is unconventional in itself. She made the boys wear LEOTARDS in the hashira training arc. She's weird in a childish whimsey sort of way.
Mitsuri is a fangirl. She gushes over her colleagues at the most inappropriate times, but she compliments the things that are unconventional, like Sanemi's scars, Giyuu being quiet, or Obanai being snakey. (whatever that means)
Ya girl is also so obsessed with cats that her breathing style techniques are named after cats?? Complete with meowing sound effects too. Cat Love shower hello?!??.
Also I feel that aside from normal girly things, Mitsuri would LOVE magical girl things like sailor moon. There's so much magical girl motifs to her. She is like obsessed with cute things that her breathing in itself is super colorful and shiny, with bubbles and glitters. She also does a lot of unnecessary backflips, because she's just that. Extra.
She even has little hearts on her tsuka! Everyone else is regular looking or plain. I think she's the only one with that kind of design on her katana.
And I don't think these are a coincidence. Even in extra materials she literally has a ridiculous yet adorable OC named Big Hand Cat.
Look at her dragon even! Its so silly and whimsy I love it. It's like her cat oc in dragon form, complete with the big anime eyes. Again, Mitsuri would soooo love anime.
She even made a manga where the characters are based on FOOD
In short, Mitsuri is equivalent to THAT weird art kid. She's a weirdo let her be weird. đЎ
My Very Own Honor
Owh its been a month and iâve been into a lot of things since I was gone (mix and match stuff up) and zukaang so happened to be one of them so I needed to draw them especially after the new movie

reblog and put in the tags the real reason you joined tumblr no matter how horrible or embarrassing it is
none of them know hikaru made a wish to hikaru. no one knows this was his choice. his wish. for yoshiki to not be alone. for his mama to not have to mourn again. for everyone to smile instead of cry. and hikaru made sure of that. but now he has been torn apart. the watch on his wrist shattered. hikaruâs watch. bc itâs hikaru whoâs running out of time. you canât stay here. even if itâs all pretend, even if it isnât you. you are supposed to be dead.
hikaru made a wish for something to take his place, bc he didnât want others to feel the hole loss digs into your chest, the way he did when his daddy died. he didnât want people to be sad, to mourn him. there wasnât a funeral. now thereâs gonna be an exhibition.
you are dead. and there is a monster under your skin.
Shinjurou did not physically abuse his boys. He. Did. Not. He is a passionate, enthusiastic, loving father who fell into a horrible depression and downward spiral. The only time he ever laid a hand on them was when Senjuro was trying to separate him from Tanjiro when he attacked him in anger. Senjuro and Kyojuro are not afraid of him, Senjuro gets nervous around him because he wants to make his father happy just like Kyojuro does, he wants to please him, and he wants to help but he doesnât know how and so that makes him nervous. But he still tries to help and interact with him. If Shinjurou beat them Senjuro wouldnât talk as openly with him as he does or go so out of his way to speak to him, being struck in the face by his father would have had a different reaction from Senjuro after he and Tanjiro sat down to talk. He probably would have been more downcast, upset, and normally animes and manga will give hints to physical abuse going on but that never happens here. When Senjuro and Tanjiro talk about Shinjurou, Senjuro is sweet and chipper and he immediately brushed it off because he knew Shinjurou didnât mean it. And Shinjurou isnât perfect, most people arenât going to freeze in an attack if their kid grabs the arm theyâre using to swing at someone. Kyojuro is also a extremely righteous and protective person guys, if Shinjurou laid a hand on his little brother Kyojuro would have addressed it. When youâre close to your siblings like Kyojuro and Senjuro are, you donât let ANYBODY touch your younger sibling, parent or not and you will go to blows with anybody regardless of how kind and gentle you areâthatâs not a cute story trope guys, Iâve seen it many many times, including in my own life. Kyojuro isnât afraid of Shinjurou at all either, just like Senjuro he goes out of his way to interact with his father, he isnât ever nervous around him. He doesnât flinch when Shinjurou throws a sake jug at him because he knows Shinjurou would never hit him because he never has. He goes as far as to say he thinks the reason Shinjurou keeps telling them theyâre bad swordsmen is because he believes his father doesnât want to lose his boys too. Theyâre all he has left of his wife, and theyâre his sons, of course he wouldnât want them to do something as dangerous as the Demon Slayer Corp. Having his wife be taken from him by an illness he realized he canât protect his family from everything, but he knew if he told the boys not to join the Demon Slayer Corp that would at least lessen the chances of them getting killed early. You have to also remember the first time he said this to Kyojuro he was still actively the Flame Pillar. Theyâre also his sons so just like Ruka he knew they wanted to be Flame Pillars so he couldnât just ask them not to join, their family has been the Flame Pillar for generations. He tore up the records after he heard about Kyojuroâs death not only because he probably wanted to guarantee Senjuro couldnât become the next Flame Pillar so he wouldnât risk losing him too but also because he probably completely blamed Kyojuroâs death on the fact that he became the Flame Pillar. He thought if he told Kyojuro and Senjuro they werenât good enough theyâd eventually abandon it and it didnât work, so thatâs something to be upset about for him. When people are upset, itâs easier to blame someone else for the bad thing that happened, and Shinjurou (especially drunk) wasnât going to admit to a stranger he felt it was his fault Kyojuro died, and thatâs why I think he told Tanjiro that Kyojuro died because he was âweakâ. Because blaming it on Kyojuro meant he didnât have to reflect on the fact that he left Senjuro and Kyojuro alone. I donât believe Shinjurou truly believed either of his sons to be weak, I think he told them they werenât good enough because he hoped that if he said it enough they would eventually abandon it and then he wouldnât have to risk losing them. In Rengoku Gaiden he was still grieving Ruka, and doing his Pillar duties and as we see it was taking its toll on his emotions, he wasnât able to handle the grief and anger of losing her properly and at some point his depression just got so bad that he couldnât function anymore and went to one of the darkest depths of depression where he just stayed in bed all day. Guys he never looks at Senjuro and Kyojuro when theyâre talking to him, his back is always to them, because he canât even handle the reminder of his wife in their features anymore. Especially considering Kyojuro is a exact replica of her but with his dadâs hair and eyes. Thatâs not even touching the traits in personality he shares with her. That is how hard her death hit him, instead of being glad that he could see her face every day it just hurt him to see her in his boys because it reminded him she was gone and not coming back and it was too much for him. Shinjurou was mad at himself, he felt like he was worthless, he probably felt like Senjuro and Kyojuro blamed him or resented him for letting their beloved mother die. He felt so badly about himself that he assumed Kyojuro had a complaint about him before Senjuro could even tell him what Kyojuro said. When he hears what Kyojuro actually said, and thinks back to the last time he saw Kyojuro he openly cries, and itâs not like a tear trickle it is grief-stricken crying just like what Senjuro was doing. Once Shinjurou stops drinking we see what I believe is the real him. The letter he sends to Tanjiro in the Entertainment District arc is a great indicator of the real Shinjurou. He has nothing but praise and affectionate words for Tanjiro and for his sons, he thanks Tanjiro for grieving Kyojuro, apologizes for his actions, explains how he got to that point in his life, praises Senjuroâs growth and his and Tanjiroâs friendship, praises Kyojuroâs accomplishments and affectionately tells Tanjiro about how they are so much like their mother. He didnât have to send all this. He could have just sent the info, but he doesnât, because he does love his family and he loves his sons and he knows them and he appreciates how much Tanjiro cares about his sons and so feels comfortable enough to share these thoughts with him. If he was abusive to the boys he would not say all those things, he wouldnât care about their emotions or their accomplishments but he does care, Shinjurou loved and adored his family, he made some mistakes in his grief, and went about dealing with it wrong, but he loved his boys, he definitely loved them too much to harm them.
ÂŤHe accommodated his legs to give Hikaru more space, letting him sit over his thighs. Hikaru had always been clingy and extremely fond of discovering new excuses to sit on his lap; but now, as the boy stilled over him, with unshed tears in his eyes and not quite letting their skin touch, Yoshiki frowned. He let a hand rest by the small of his back and brought the other up to his face again â before freezing it midair when Hikaru flinched.
âWhatâs wrong, Hikaru?â Yoshiki muttered, feeling his tongue dry out and schooling his features to not let his hurt transpire.
âYa donât have to do this, Yoshikiâ, Hikaru replied, fisting his hands over the bathtubâs edge behind Yoshiki. There was a complicated swirl in his eyes as he stared at him, a dangerous and unbelieving vermillion in the center of it all â however, the more he talked, the more his eyes turned watery. âIâ I ainât a child, I donât need yer coddlinâ⌠Stop being brave when yer still afraid of me.âÂť
