Tomioka Giyuu: *very quietly* what the fuck

Rengoku Kyoujurou: I DON’T NEED HIM TO BE A WOMAN TO MAKE HIM MY WIFE!!!

the modern nuclear family: renGOATku, malewife giyuu, and their hatsune miku daughter

(flat color version)

I saw some tumbleweeds rolling by under the rengiyuu tag, so I looked to see if there was some kyougiyuu art I hadn't shared yet... surprise :)

Maybe i'm extrapolating it a little too close to the sun but bear with me. If you squint you can kind of see a parallel between Kyojuro and Tsutako.

An older sibling (one who loves too much, with their heart promised to someone else yet able to sacrifice their life to protect a weaker being) and a younger brother who grieves their death while facing a bitter aftermath back home. Of course the impact of their sacrifice is different (kind of) but I can still see it tbh

I like to think Giyuu thinks about that too, so he makes sure to have an space for Senjuro on his state. Probably what was his soon-to-be brother-in-law didn't care about him the same way he cares about Senjuro, but he still feels comforted by the resemblance of their situation.

Is a little uncanny, really, but in the end maybe that's why he loved Kyojuro so much, because Tsutako had a powerful impact on how Giyuu perceived love in general. He hates a little how his perception of someone experiencing love is being willing to give away their own life, maybe he sees love on the need of being strong for someone else. Of course he would prefer to love someone who was more selfish, someone who would prioritize themselves but could he really feel their ability to love then?
