Disclaimer, I wrote this in a few minutes and it's mostly brain storming. There might be cuss words and it's not really articulate. Also — im not shading anyone this is simply my opinion on this matter.

Is their relationship basically nothing? Yes, I don't ship them either. But so many of you act as if this was some sort of abusive loveless cage both of them couldn't get out of. Kny fans desperately need to learn what abuse means. As someone who was actually in an emotionally abusive relationship, this ain’t it.

No, it's not fair to compare Michikatsu and his wife to Kotoha and her ex husband or Nakime and hers. Because unlike those, we have no proof that the actual marriage was bad. In fact, the manga pretty much tells us they were content with their situation. Technically she’s not even an actual “ex wife.” Since he just abandoned her.

I'm sure this is the face you make to the woman you can't stand/sarcasm. People deadass make it sound as if he was repulsed by her when that was never the case.

And no, this is not me saying Michi loved her, it would be more fucked up if he did and he still left her, but this is me saying yall are looking at arranged marriages too narrowly.

You see arranged marriages as a trope where they have to fall in love along the way.

And if they don't, you see it as a death sentence. Mind you, the historical and cultural context matters here too. Yes, arranged marriages are established to continue a bloodline. But here's the catch, that were most if not all of marriages at that time.

You cannot look at arranged marriage as a death sentence in this context when they don't have the normalized concept of a love marriage to compare or "wish for". Marriage wasn't seen as a sign of love or a love connection or whatever marriage is called today until Meiji era.

Moreover, sort of the main goal (aside continuing the family) when it comes to living arrangements, is sort of to manage to coexist and cooperate. Michikatsu wasn't miserable because his marriage sucked, he was just miserable. The manga pretty much proves they were content.

I personally like to think they were friends and each did their duties in the marriage well.

And I also have to REMIND y'all that the whole purpose of that marriage existing and him leaving his family is for him to later REALISE how pointless it all was.

Even if he didn't love his wife, he still did realise he threw away so much for a purpose that was pointless and fruitless. He arguably REGRETS his actions.

Also. He says he was blessed to have a wife and kids. No he doesn't mean he loved his ex wife but he sure as hell didn't hate them OR mistreat them

READ KNY FAN READDDD

Also, I need to remind yall that you use arranged marriage argument to prove they were stuck miserable tooooo much for my liking when it's never mentioned. It's most likely (I believe it too), but yall are acting as if we SAW their arrangement and how unhappy they were with it.

Also yall talk about arranged marriage like a death sentence but probably love kagamane or uzuiwives, and saying they love each other proves my point on how yall see arranged marriage.

I don't think people making AUs where he doesn't leave her and they live a peaceful life is such a fucking crime. Considering the problem with their relationship comes WITH HIM LEAVING HER. All proof from the manga tells us their marriage was otherwise decent.

And the reason why I'm saying this is because, (sorry to kiburei oomfs i love yall but this HAS to be said) if you can make kiburei a healthy relationship where Muzan loves and cares for her, when it's literally built on deceit and lies, you have no right to be angry if people make Michi's life normal. You can practically even say that's just what if he never left a scenario 😭 it's not anywhere as dramatic as y'all make it seem

Sure, people acting like their relationship was some doomed romance is annoying but it's as if Michikatsu mistreated Haruhime for it to be an offending exaggeration.

And I'll say, if I already haven't, that I don't like or care about the ship myself. I do care how yall clutch your pearls around it though.

One last thing, a lot of you also try to push the narrative that the relationship was abusive/toxic, but still LIKE Kokushibo (and no I'm not talking about writing), you make content where he's happy, you ship him and talk about him as person positively and this is because there's no such thing as mutual abuse, if their relationship was abusive, someone had to abuse the other.

So if he was sooooo terrible to his ex wife who didn't deserve it, why do you still like him. This is also why I never believe yall bitches that say you feel so bad for her and that she deserved better. Yall never talk about her bffr.
