🌲🌲 Demon Slayer and Trees 🌲🌲

FULL disclaimer, it was a friend of mine who talked about this a while ago, I am merely stealing from him because I think it deserves more attention

Demon Slayer loves describing people as trees explicitly or implicitly. Tanjurou, for instance, was like a tree, because he was gentle and sturdy.

For Akaza, the Selfless-State Tanjirou was like a tree.

The state of anatta or anatma, where there is no "self", a Buddhist principle. That's the state Tanjirou attained and the state Tanjurou was always in (would I be wrong in saying Tanjurou was perhaps a reincarnation of Yoriichi?? Topic for another day).

Here's where it gets interesting.

Genya using Kokushibou's BDA which results in him rooting Kokushibou to the ground.

Despite being firmly held and rooted, Kokushibou describes it as "crumbling". I think trees in KNY symbolize more than just gentle and sturdy, but rather the fact that trees have roots and brances.

A past, and a future. A source of your humanity, and giving birth to new buds.

You know who else was like a tree?

Yoriichi, not even in death, could be "crumbled". That's what Kokushibou is reminded of. He stayed upright, unlike Koku who started crumbling merely by being held down. Kokushibou has no roots, no family, no humanity. He gave all that up in pursuit of longevity.

However, that meant he'd not just be alone, but also never have any legacy like KNY so emphasizes. A legacy like Yoriichi who could create the Sun Breathing and its branches.

Unlike Yoriichi, Koku never even believed others would surpass him. He thought the Sengoku era would forever be the greatest.

Yoriichi however, did. He WANTED people to surpass him. While no singular person did manage to surpass him, it was the collectivism of all the humans, slayers, hashiras, who could take muzan down.

All his branches of breathing styles and people he saved including Tamayo and Sumiyoshi's family and the new buds that grew through that, was what led to Muzan's end. Yoriichi was therefore the tree that was sturdy and never fell even after death.

It seems fitting that Koku was taken down because of Genya's tree holding him down.

After all, Koku's sword does resemble the Hinokami dance sword. A sword with branches like a tree.

It also seems fitting that Tanjirou's Sun Breathing was so effective against Muzan. The Kamados are charcoal burners, so they're especially close to trees. Of course Tanjirou's the only Sun breather and Nezuko's the only demon that can withstand the sun.

I'm not sure if I've missed anything, so please so let me know if I have!!

More Giyuu and Mitsuri! for Knyrarepairweek. This time it's from Mitsuri's perspective!

Mitsuri could be a comforting presence to Giyuu, but I think Giyuu's simple honesty through his actions would comfort her as well.

It is your sworn duty, when you're in your 30's, to do something every day that would have gotten you viciously bullied in high school.

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

Tengen and Giyuu: *are doing something absurdly dangerous* Tengen: I think Houdini did something like this once! Why, if I recall correctly, he was out of the hospital in no time! Giyuu, deadpan: Well that's encouraging.

for the recent oc ask 💢📿🐾 for any of your ocs! also 🍻 for joselle 🫡

Unni~! Hello hello~! Thank you for the questions!

And thanks for waiting for the answers. Took me a while to think on them and then coherently put my thoughts together for this post!

Dusk Faust

💢 - Who have they never forgiven and never will?

Yoshisumi Kogane (another oc of mine).

He's an emissary from Hino and has unintentionally done each of Dusk's siblings dirty.

First, Yoshisumi dueled Dawn very soon after he arrived in Clover. It was mostly a spar for Hino and Clover to display the strength of their top tier combatants. However, Yoshisumi was far superior in the fight which caused Dawn to be discouraged for a time. While unintentional, Yoshisumi caused Dawn's lack of confidence and began Dusk's grudge against him.

Later on, Yoshisumi met Sterling and was instantly attracted to her. So of course he attempted to court her. Sterling was made deeply uncomfortable by his advances, earning Dusk's ire in another way.

Yoshisumi became acquainted with Sirius through another visitor from Hino, Kohaku. While Kohaku likes Sirius's usual pacifistic nature and mild manners, Yoshisumi believes Sirius to be weak-willed and destined to be used/trampled upon by stronger individuals. Another strike against Yoshisumi.

For Vivian, Yoshisumi did what most people do when they meet her: call her creepy and lifeless. It's not much but it's another nail in his coffin.

Finally, and probably the worst sin of all, Yoshisumi heard about Merel's Nightmare Magic and began thinking of it as a pragmatic tool for torturing information out of people. Even if they don't break and confess directly, the contents of their nightmares could be gleaned for information. Merel was horrified by the implication and was in hysterics about it.

After so many incidents, Dusk has sworn off forgiving Yoshisumi for what he's done.

📿 - What superstition or ritual do they cling to?

Dusk believes that his reflection is it's own entity and that if he looks his reflection in the eyes too long, his soul will switch places with his reflections and he'll be forced to live in some warped mirror world. So he avoids looking at his own reflection for prolonged periods of time. No more than 10 seconds in one go. It makes getting ready for a date takes a while but to save his soul...

Also Gauche takes no responsibility for Dusk gaining that paranoia.

🐾 - Do animals like them instinctively?

Dusk is like a classical Disney princess with animals, if he's brave enough to approach them, they tend to take to him quite well. He's a gentle and soft-spoken young man. He's also wise enough to act in ways that would indicate to wildlife that he's not a threat: moving slow, letting them approach him, showing vulnerability. Nothing about him could scare away animals.

Except maybe for the occasional devilish aura he gives off when using magic... But otherwise, he and animals get along great!

Josele Canty

🍻 - What kind of drunk are they?

When Josele is very drunk, not just one or two drinks but a whole night of downing alcohol, she's more shy. She gets self-conscious and easily embarrassed when she's drunk. Not to the level of Grey but it would be noticeable in Josele. She's red in the face from alcohol and embarrassment, she's stuttering her words as much as she's slurring them, and she can barely bring herself to even hold hands with others when she's sloppy drunk.

It's possibly her body knowing she's making herself vulnerable with the alcohol and thus preparing her to be as aware as she can be. And, for whatever reason, it ends up with her being on the jittery side until she sobers up.

Shoutout specifically to black femmes. Their hair, their nails, their makeup. All the forms of nuanced gender expression they have that wider society refuses to acknowledge. Sapphic spaces are better for having y'all in it.
