Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)

Awww! Thank you for the question very very much.

So, I absolutely love the color of my eyes, they're a greyish-blue turning into ice blue when they're hit by sunlight.

I love my own voice, I spent YEARS training it to make it versatile in singing and speaking and I'm very proud of the results I got.

I think my long curly hair are cool, even if caring for them in the right way is impossible sometimes, they'd be black too if genetics in my family weren't shit, I was 19 and already had a lot of grey hair, I just hate genetics.

I like being a good cook/baker, I can't stand cakes but I make very very cute ones, I can also get creative in making meals when I have literally nothing in the fridge.

In the end I think I can say I like my way of being diplomatic in most situations, I hate conflict (in an unhealthy way, which is not good at all) and tend to be always calm, just because I don't think that arguing is always the right thing to do.

Hi guys, I think I have to say something about my absence.

Lately my mental health wasn't mental healting at all so you can understand why I didn't post at all in the last few weeks, to make it quick, zero motivation. I tried and I'm still trying to get better but I think the best thing for me now is taking a hiatus, with this I don't mean I won't be active anymore, I'll reply to comments, I'll answer if someone dms me, I'll use my second blog to reblog if someone tags me and everything else. The only thing I want to say is I won't post any new content here. I don't know when I'll post again but I'll do, I'm not disappearing forever, I promise.

Having said that, thank you for all the support you gave me in the past year and a half, see you next time. 💙

HEY PEOPLE!

Back again with some content concerning my main AU and FINALLY I want to talk about something I see as very important.

If you followed me for a while you know there's a character in this AU whose name is Fujiko Mori, who is the Stone Hashira and also possess a great singing voice. Her mother was American so this allowed Fujiko to come in contact with western culture and music, she mostly rearrange lyrics while singing old tunes. I'm a musician and a singer myself so I put myself in Fujiko's shoes and tried changing the lyrics to a folk song I like as if I was her. (English isn't my first language so coming up with rhymes and all was a bit difficult, especially because I did this in ten minutes). But let me just show you the lyrics.

"As I walked out through the Valley so silent,

As I walked out through the Valley one day,

I saw a young maiden, wrapped all in white linen,

Wrapped in white linen and cold as the clay.

Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

Sing the Death March as you carry me along

Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me

I'm a lost pilgrim, with no way back home.

Go tell all the broken who pray for a pardon,

Go tell all the lovers who cry at the door,

That hope is a liar, and love is a burden,

And none shall find comfort beyond that cold floor.

Oh, lay me no flowers, oh, sing me no praises,

Mark not my grave with the songs of the free,

For dreams are but ashes, and prayers are but whispers,

Lost in the dust and the cold endless sea.

Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

Sing the Death March as you carry me along

Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me

I'm a lost pilgrim, with no way back home."

Now that you have the song, why some words are the same as the original lyrics? She just doesn't know the original song, so some words are right and some are made up by her and they're about her life and her situation in general. I really hope you liked this and I don't know if I'll make more of these, but... I don't exclude that.

Updates about my AUs

Hello! It's been quite some time since I posted here for the last time and I wanted to tell you what's going on and what I plan to do, since my OCs number increased and now we have 24 Hashiras with 8 main Breathing Styles. So there are a few things I think should be changed in AUs I already worked on in the past.

1 - Main AU (Plus AU)

Everything is already done here, I added stuff, I changed every post to adapt it to the new characters, so this means it's complete, I'll probably write more content about that AU. Something I'll probably talk about will be the previous generation of Hashiras, I'll make reference for them and I'll drop the lore.

2- The Upper Moons

I posted this a lot of time ago, when I thought I wouldn't have added all these characters, I'll talk about the Upper Moons I didn't considered back then (and maaaybe I could say something about the Lower Moons too).

3- The Dark Academia AU

Well, I loved that but I archived it for a while because I wasn't in the mood to keep making content for it, I had to add the new characters and... let's be honest, I didn't feel like it. In this moment that AU and it's posts are still in renovation but I already added the missing moodboards at least. I have to be honest: I don't know if that AU will keep going once I'll finish correcting everything I have to, I know some people liked it but I don't have ideas, so if someone has requests/questions they're all welcome!

Thank you for reading this, I hope you'll like what I'll come up with🩵

[bluespiderlully]

Hey! I just added this piece of lore to my AU, about two new characters. I am still adjusting my old posts to have them in just like the rest of the characters but, in the meantime, you can see them here! 🩵

[bluespiderlully]

KNY - My characters archive

VOID BREATHING HASHIRAS

🕳 Rin Yeon (21 y.o.) - Void Hashira

Raised in Korea among a network of assassins and spies serving an assassins' guild tasked with extorting information from Japanese officials and killing inconvenient personalities, Rin Yeon's childhood was one of brutal training and ruthless missions. Silent and lethal, she was tasked with killing Asuka (who comes from a wealthy and noble Japanese family), but she defeated her easily. Instead of finishing her off, the Pillar of Light offered her a choice: continue living as a weapon in the service of others or fight for something greater. Bewildered but intrigued, Rin Yeon accepted, joining the Demon Slayer Corps. Cold and taciturn, she seems emotionless, but those who know her best know that behind her armor hides a tormented soul seeking redemption.

🧿 Ayumi Shinazugawa (18 y.o.) - Shadow Hashira

Ayumi, is a young woman marked by a past of solitude and misunderstanding. Her prophetic visions, which have troubled her since she was a child, have always been an enigma to her, and she has never been able to understand or find an explanation for them. Her mother, always affectionate and protective, has always pampered and supported her, aware of her sweet and introverted nature. Ayumi was a fragile, often distant and lonely child, but her mother always loved her unconditionally, trying to give her all the warmth she needed. However, her childhood was marked by the violence of her father, which shattered any trust she had in men. Sanemi, her brother, is the only man Ayumi trusts, the one who has always protected and loved her without ever betraying her. She followed Sanemi in becoming a slayer and learned Shadow Breathing to protect herself and those she loves.

⭐️ Munsu Sol (21 y.o.) - Star Hashira

Originally from Korea, Munsu Sol was deported to Japan on charges of inciting rebellion against the Japanese occupation. His father, a rebel blacksmith who forged weapons for the resistance, was executed shortly before his departure. Forced to work in a Japanese mine, Munsu endured years of hardship and suffering. When a miner's revolt broke out, Munsu fought with determination, earning the respect of his fellow miners. After managing to escape, he was hunted down by the Japanese authorities and found by Sanemi Shinazugawa. Moved by his resistance, Sanemi paid for his release and offered him the opportunity to become a Demon Slayer. Munsu accepted, vowing to use his new life to protect those who cannot defend themselves and to honor his family's sacrifice.

Fujiko: do you think we are soulmates in every universe?

Doma: of course we are

[Should definitely post something more about these two, and I'll do that]

[bluespiderlully]

I have a question.If there are only four moons, where are Gyutaro, Daki, Gyokko, and Hantengu?

(they are lower moons?)

I actually planned to add more Upper Moons (like in the original series). I liked the meaning of the number so I decided to have only four Upper Moons but back then I had less Hashiras and so they were balanced, now I think I'll probably update the lineup and have six Upper Moons. I'd keep Daki and Gyutaro as Upper Six and Gyokko as Upper Five but since I really dislike Hantengu (the whole clones things was cool but it's not one of these characters with many peculiarities that immediately catches my attention to be honest), so he'd be replaced by Nakime. Her backstory is deeper and should definitely be more discussed in general. The Lower Moons exist in this AU too but I didn't plan anything about them, they're just important for the number 13 (12+ Daki).

[bluespiderlully]

I loved how you did the breathing styles, but how do the gemstones work? And where are they? They're embedded in the sword, right?

There is only one stone embedded in the hilt of the sword or in the centre of other weapons (caestus/bow) which obviously don't have a hilt. If you the Hashira in question owns more than one sword each sword has a stone embedded in it. Thank you for the question!💙

[bluespiderlully]

KNY PLUS AU - Breathing Styles & fighting

[We're back again talking about this AU and the lore, of course these are pretty different from canon, that's an AU, I guess it's always better to specify that.]

I'll start saying that all the breathing styles effects are visible; talking about katas and tecniques, they all learn how to fight with their weapon of choice (shinobu has a rapier, she has to learn a complete different fighting style, and learning katas with a rapier... doesn't just make sense), the breathing style is heavily limited to a certain weapon. The weapon forged with the purpose of being in possession of an Hashira that uses a certain type of breathing must have a gemstone embedded in the hilt, this isn't of any use actually, it's iust a tradition.

💙 WATER AND DERIVED 💙

UPDATES AGAIN!

Since I'm actually figuring out what I want to do on this blog and the series I want to continue I am "cleaning" a bit. Many old posts won't be available anymore and I'll bring new content.💙

[bluespiderlully]

What kind of physical characteristics do Hashiras have? (such as scars, marks, moles, blindness in one eye, etc.) or if they have or use things like makeup, glasses or jewelry (such as earrings)

I'd have to say that everyone has scars but most aren't just visible because they're under the uniform (Sanemi has scars of course, Mitsuri has burns on her legs and Ayumi has scars too but no one can actually get to see them).

Mitsuri has moles, Sanemi has scars on his face, Obanai has his scar (under the mask) and Sabito has his scar, but my OCs have scars too.

Rei has a cross shaped scar on her right cheek, Harriet has a scar on her right eye (and that eye is blind so it appears pinkish and not dark red as the other one), Shinobu is blind in her right eye too (this results in a much less bright purple).

I love moles so some characters have them, Enmu has three moles under his eyes and on his cheeks (like the mark he has in canon, but they're just plain moles) and Fujiko has one under her left eye.

No one wears makeup in their daily life at the headquarters but I'm 100% sure Fujiko would wear red lipstick, but just if she had some free time. Concerning jewerly, Kyojuro wears a very plain golden ring and Asuka has a pair of small golden earrings, they both don't wear them when they're in missions but usually have them on at the camp.

Thank you for the question!💙

Demon Slayer uniforms! 2.0

It's been months since I posted this, and in the meantime a lot of things changed: I made actual references with Niji Journey (that of course don't perfectly fit the characters, their faces is the only thing I'm 100% saving, but their uniforms are slightly different), I added characters, I changed their designs from time to time... A LOT HAPPENED, so I'm here to make a little update and talk more about all these characters and their uniforms.

First of all, in the first post I described the Hashira uniforms as black and with golden buttons, always consisting in a jacket, trousers and combat boots, everything's the same, except for their color. In this AU characters can choose the color of their uniform (black, blue, green, purple, red and brown; in very dark tones).

WATER BREATHING HASHIRAS

🌊 Giyu Tomioka: blue uniform + black haori with light blue wave print

🧊 Sabito Ashina: black uniform + light blue haori with asanoha pattern (and a white kitsune mask with a scar on the right cheek)

🪷 Kanae Kocho: purple uniform + white, pink and aqua butterfly haori (and two pink butterfly hairpin)

FLAME BREATHING HASHIRAS

🔥 Kyojuro Rengoku: red uniform + white, yellow, red and orange flame haori (and a very very small red and orange butterfly hairpin)

🐍 Obanai Iguro: black uniform + black and white striped haori (and bandage face mask)

🌸 Mitsuri Kanroji: purple uniform + white and pink flames haori (and three green and pink butterfly hairpins, one on each braid)

THUNDER BREATHING HASHIRAS

⚡️ Makomo Urokodaki: brown uniform + yellow sunflower pattern haori (and a white kitsune mask with blue flowers on the left cheek)

🌩 Hiromi Kazeshi: red uniform + brown haori with an orange and bronze lightings embroidery

✨️ Asuka Rengoku: red uniform + white haori with golden leaves

VOID BREATHING HASHIRAS

🕳 Rin Yeon: black uniform + greyish blue haori with black embroidered plants on it

🧿 Ayumi Shinazugawa: blue uniform + dark blue haori with white flowers (+ blue and light blue butterfly hairpin)

⭐️ Munsu Sol: purple uniform + lavender silk haori with a silver dragon print

WIND BREATHING HASHIRAS

🌪 Sanemi Shinazugawa: green uniform + greyish green haori with white pinwheels

🌫 Muichiro Tokito: green uniform + teal mist patterned haori

☁️ Nezha Xiang: green uniform + light blue haori with white clouds

BLOOD BREATHING HASHIRAS

🩸 Harriet Spencer: red uniform + black haori with red spider lilies

🌹 Fukuge Miyazaki: green uniform + white haori with green thorns and red roses

⚗️ Yorinobu Aoyama: green uniform + dark green haori with purple flowers

STONE BREATHING HASHIRAS

🪨 Fujiko Mori: green uniform + light green haori with white cherry blossom flowers

☄️Tengen Uzui: blue uniform + black uniform with colorful fireworks

⏳️ Obara Kazehara: brown uniform + rose maple moth haori

DREAM BREATHING HASHIRAS

🔮 Enmu Tamio: blue uniform + purple emperor butterfly haori

⚰️ Rei Miyazaki: blue uniform + blue death moth haori (and a blue and yellow butterfly hairpin)

🦋 Shinobu Kocho: purple uniform + white, light blue and lilac butterfly haori (and a light blue and lilac butterfly hairpin)

Now that you have a description of their uniforms I want to focus on their accessories and hair, because that's pretty important.

Obanai's mask: since he has his mouth cut off he has to wear the bandages on his face, in the first place to prevent it to get infected but also because it's not a good thing to show.

Kitsune masks: only foxfaces are allowed to wear those, they're made by the same people who are in charge of sewing the Corps uniforms, the mask always represents a kitsune but the slayer who has to wear it can decide how to decorate it.

Butterfly pins: in this AU butterfly hairpins aren't just for people working in the butterfly mansion, but Kanae actually makes them for everyone she thinks needs one. Mitsuri, Shinobu and Kanae herself work in the Butterfly Mansion; but since Rei is very young and suffered a lot before becoming a slayer she got one, same for Ayumi being a victim of SA and Kyojuro suffering from his father's abuse, Kanae decided to make butterfly hairpins for them too.

Butterfly haoris: the concept is a bit different from butterfly pins, the first one to have one was Kanae and she decided to give one to Shinobu too, after a while she gifted one to Enmu and that became some sort of symbol (accepting him into their family). Then when Enmu adopted Rei he wanted her to have one too, but in the moment he told her this Obara brazenly asked him to tell the tailor she wanted one too so she could match with her friend, Enmu accepted that request and she got one too.

Hair: if they have to go in mission (this concerns people that have long hair, shoulder long or longer) they just tie them in a bun so they can move properly but when they're at the headquarters minding their business they either leave them down (Makomo, Kanae, Harriet, Obanai, Tengen, Asuka, Fukuge, Muichiro, Shinobu, Sabito, Enmu, Ayumi, Rin and Hiromi), braided (Mitsuri, Rei and Obara), in a ponytail (Fujiko and Giyu) or in a half up bun (Kyojuro, Munsu and Nezha). Sanemi and Yoronobu have short hair so they don't have any problems.

What happened while you weren't watching

Incredible but true, I didn't explode in glitter. The reason why I was gone for a while is just because I needed to organise everything better on this blog and the other one ( @lullythewitch) where I will be posting stuff concerning the KNY fantasy AU; there's still much work to do on that one so, just know that it exists and that stuff will come soon.

But the main blog (this one) is the main reason why I'm writing this post now. I am trying to arrange my masterlist better, there's still a lot to work on but I think it's beginning to look like an actual masterlist and not as random as before. I have a new characters archive where I decided to add a gallery too. I'll write two focusing posts about Obara and Sora since they're not in the materlist but they are part of my Hashira lineup so I have to write down something for them too.

I've finally cleaned up a lot of stuff on this blog so I'll start posting again with more frequency.💚

[bluespiderlully]

Hi people!

I'm here for some updates again. I'm working on another blog for my fantasy AU and I realised that I never did anything to make this blog my actual main one, I'll absolutely work on the pinned post, in which there's no reference to the fact I have another blog where I reblog and say stuff ( @lullydoesstuff ) I don't post much on it but I want to use it a bit more. And then there's the new one: @lullythewitch. On the new one I started posting about the fantasy AU, so go have a look if you're interested!

[bluespiderlully]

Lully and her dumb ideas

Hello, welcome back to my madness, I'm very sorry for you lol.

Some time ago I said I wanted to write a fantasy AU, I still want to, I need to work on MANY things but now new Elden Ring content is going to be released so... I felt like this could be the perfect moment to start working on it. But the question is:

The reason why I'm thinking about making a new blog is simple: a fantasy AU, as I intend it, requires a lot of worldbuilding and details (you know, kingdoms/areas, beasts explanations, magic system, myths, religion...). So I don't know if this should have more space in general.
