@destinychose said, “plots please” - for any kny muse(s) of mine that you'd be most interested in plotting something out with!
Possible Relationship: (Friends, Found-Family) I’d imagine that Ryu would be reminiscent of her love for her big brother as Nezuko to Tanjiro. They’ve both lost family they’ve had a close relationship with and Ryu has always wanted to be a big sister. I could see her admiring Tanjiro for being so strong at such a young age and wanting to be a figure in his life he can turn to.
Plot: Adventure \ Rescue Assignment
The two were placed on an assignment and have just ensured the safety of a small town. And while the demon itself wasn’t terribly strong, the damage it caused throughout the town is devastating. The two agree to help out a bit before they return back to the Butterfly Estate, when one of the injured, (maybe a younger child), approaches the two and asks if the two can bring them to their family member. (I’m thinking they wanted to help out there family by leaving home and finding somewhere they can work.) And they agree to help!
It’s a pretty simple premise, but I think it leaves a lot of room open for them to bond and chat! Plus, trying to carry someone injured while ensuring their safety can be pretty difficult! (Especially if they encounter a demon during this trip. :eyes: ) My thoughts are that Tanjiro growing up poor would relate in some way to this child and the two of them would never shy away from helping someone in need. Just some good old bonding over adventure!
Possible Relationship: (Friends, Mentor)
Since we’ve kind of already plotted something more adventurous for them, I thought of something that gives them time to get to know one another! In one of their headcanon posts, you wrote that they’re an insomniac and a workaholic. But they also don’t like having their work interrupted. So, I’m thinking Ryu subtly ventures into their workspace without disturbing them and places a wrapped meal. (A bribe with some fish and veggies from town, cause she can’t cook.) And a small note that briefly denotes that they’ve been working for a few days now and she would like to have lunch! And hopefully they oblige and they can talk and bond and stuff. Some good old fluffy friendship bonding.
Possible Relationship: (Friends)
This is just a completely random idea, but I know he doesn’t like dogs, I’m guessing based off that spin-off? But Ryu loves dogs! (When the demon-corps disbands she wants to have a million of ‘em) So, what if Ryu brings a dog to the estate and at first Giyuu is just … that dog is going to chew my arm off. (Maybe it doesn’t look friendly?) But Ryu has some explanation that he’s (the dog, i mean) just scared and he hasn’t really been taken care of properly. And she shows him how to care for one? Or just shows him that they’re gentle?) And now they can have this whole conversation about the dog and getting to know each other a little more. (And since I doubt they can keep a dog there, given the fact that they’re constantly on the go, maybe she can employ him to go and find an owner with her?)
