Local Scum Villain

Ive said this before but I really like SenGen and GenNezu also! Those are my favorite ships involving Genya at least.

Ohhh yes okay! Let's see...

Genkana! Its super cute I think Kanao and Genya have a lot in common especially in how they grew up in some ways. Kanaos calmness I think would help Genya a lot and Genyas strong emotions would stir Kanao into feeling more open to feel how she wants to feel. I think they would be so cute.

GenIno... oh they would definitely be fighting all the time. And wrestling for sure. I see them more as siblings than anything but if they were in a relationship they would constantly be giving bickering married couple. I think Inosukes pure confidence could be good for Genya.

GenZen. This one is tough for me. I know a lot of people like it and I think it could be cute! But I have trouble picturing it. Someone should tell me why they like it sometime I'd be really interested.

I've only JUST heard of you, but I know I like you already (as a friend, of course).

Question. If you were to assign Genya or any other character a song, what would it be?

Anyway, have a nice day 😁

Hai my friend! In regards to songs I have quite a few I associate with Genya personally. But the biggest one is probably I Bet on Losing Dogs by Mitski. I think it encompasses his mentality in my mind pretty well.

As for some others. Well Sanemi to me is very Choke by I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME though there are definitely more songs I could pick for him I'm trying to stick to just one each so I don't just give you my entire playlist.

I think you won't be surprised when I say its a lot of different things that make Gentan appeal to me.

I think probably the biggest things involve how they treat one another. Tanjiro doesn't even bat an eye at genyas ability to eat demons, besides to ask if he is okay. Tanjiro is unfailingly kind to Genya, but also holds him accountable if he does something wrong.

Genya doesn't trust Tanjiros kindness at first but when he learns he can trust him, he opens his heart to Tanjiro and he can be the gentle and kind and slightly awkward boy he was hiding behind his aggressive attitude born out of a need to protect his soft heart.

Plus I think they can relate to each other in unique ways because of their similar circumstances of both losing their families in a tragic way due to a demon and having to grow up and take on responsibilities faster than they might have been ready for.

SURE! Hmmm maybe I can give you guys some of my headcanons regarding gennezu? I should honestly post some of my fanart too, if you guys would be interested in seeing that then let me know.

The two of them don't really get together until they are young adults. Genya is spending Sanemi's last years with him so hes not in a mental or emotional place for a relationship and Nezuko is recovering still from the trauma of her time as a demon.

Genya and Nezuko always liked each other as friends but didnt grow a very close bond emotionally until after Sanemi's death. Genya was so full of grief he locked everyone out, but Nezuko was able to reach him because she has a similar fear and looming certainty of losing Tanjiro. So she understands his devastation. And he doesnt want Nezuko to be alone with hers when the inevitable comes so he starts to be more present for her.

Their relationship is really slow burn. It takes them a few years to get together officially. Most of their other friends are already married and some have kids on the way.

They get married in a smaller ceremony, Tanjiro gets to attend, but Sanemi of course cannot be there to see it. There is an empty place for him though, so he can be there in spirit.

Both Nezuko and Genya want a big family. They end up with a mix of adopted and biological kids and they probably have the most kids out of any of their friends. Both also love to babysit their friends kids. So they have a very busy house.

Genya is permanently disabled after nearly dying to kokushibo in the final battle, so he has to take it easy more often than not. Nezuko scolds him for working to hard. He scolds Nezuko in turn for working to hard and taking to much on her shoulders.

They are extremely gentle parents. But they both have a stern side to them. All the kids are expected to help out in the ways they can. But they are given the grace and care of just being kids.

They don't tell their kids about demons at all. That's a fear that they don't want to pass on. They ended it so the fear can end with them too.

Arguments for Genya and Nezuko look a lot like tense silences and looking at each other out of the corners of their eyes. They rarely argue for long as Nezuko is a big believer in communication. Meanwhile Genya hates confrontation even if he seems confrontational. Hes more likely to want to run away. Nezuko makes him feel more comfortable to be open by showing him not every disagreement is confrontation.

They are both really protective of each other and will absolutely become irritated/angry if they think their other half is being mistreated. Nezuko is less likely to tolerate mistreatment of herself but Genya will usually allow people to mistreat him. Nezuko is frustrated by this.

Both of them are very loyal and neither are particularly jealous or insecure about the others feelings for them.

Yes for sure there are! I can't say I hate to many of them because I can usually see the appeal of most ships even if it doesn't personally appeal to me. So when I say I don't care for them its so entirely without malice. Just to be clear.

I think my most controversial one is probably GenMui... which absolutely sucks because it is genyas most popular ship. I don't hate it at all and I think its very cute in many ways. I just don't feel like I see it at all? You know? Like I don't really see the chemistry. But I really just don't mention how I feel because its a me thing. It makes me happy so many people like it and can have fun with Genmui :D

I agree! Gennezu with a sibling dynamic is very cute but there is so much potential for them in a lot of different relationship avenues. I think its so fun to explore the different dynamics their relationship could take especially romantically. It feels like they have such a unique understanding of each other and that post canon they would both be the only ones who could understand the way being a demon affected them. Not to mention they are both deeply kind and very stubborn people.
