Maybe this is wishful thinking rather than a potential canon thing, but I think Sanemi was aware of Tanjiro’s presence and that he would be able to stop him from blinding Genya.
Like, I honestly don’t think Sanemi would’ve gone through with it or even tried to blind his brother if Tanjiro wasn’t there. Even if Sanemi doesn’t like Tanjiro or accept him, he acknowledge his strength and heart.
So yeah,
I personally think that Sanemi never truly intended to blind Genya. I think he knew exactly how it would play out and it happened just as he wanted it to.
Now he made sure to not only scare his little brother away, but confirm that Genya had friends and people to rely on when he can’t be there for him.
Slight spoilers ahead(?) nah it’s spoilers;
But Tanjiro said later that he didn’t smell any hatred or malicious intents from Sanemi back then. And according to the light novel about Sanemi and Masachika he reveals just how much he loves and cares for his brother.
So call me delulu or whatever, but that’s just me. Sanemi is an asshole (I still love him), he’s terrible at showing his love and made literally the worst possible choices when it came to Genya, BUT HE HAS A GOOD HEART!!

No NSFW submissions, this is a sfw and platonic event for Sanemi & Genya.
Not a spoiler free event, you may post whatever you want in regards to the context of the series, but do tag your works as “demon slayer spoilers” “kimetsu no yaiba spoilers” etc etc.
This event is meant to be focused solely on Sanemi and Genya, background characters and ships are valid and allowed, but the main focus of the work is how you see and interpret the prompts and their relationship. Basically, Sanemi and Genya centric only. It can have ships, but can’t be about ships.
When posting works on tumblr please make sure to tag them “ShinazugawaBrosWeek2024”!
Late Admissions are accepted as well! If you fall behind! Don’t worry about that at all!
And most importantly, have fun, prepare, i’m giving us all a Lot of time to create works for this event because Sanemi and Genya deserve all the love and attention!
Rereading and ong I'm destroyed. 😭 Everyone deserved to be happy and it was very realistic but OH MY GAHHHHDDD SO DISTRAUGHT OVER ALL OF THEM. I will never get over them.
My favorite troupe in any media is tragic siblings. Like, fuck yeah, give me those fucked up siblings who still love each other despite all the pain. Give me those siblings who would do anything for the other, even if it means hurting them in the process. Give me older siblings who are almost like parents but don't know shit about raising kids because they themself are a child, but try their hardest anyway. I want that deep love poorly masked as resentment and contempt. Let me see them make up tearfully or end tragically without resolving any of the past hurts. I live for that shit.

Summary:
They spent their whole day at the beach, laughing and having a good time. It is a bonding moment that Sanemi and Genya will remember for the rest of their lives no matter what happens to them.
As long as they have each other, then nothing can bring them down.
People should make more doomed by narratives siblings relationship.
Like with lovers you can just sever it and not have it related to you ever again but with siblings how could you?
You grow up with them you raise them or they raised you you both know how unforgiving the world is to both of you? You would die for them but will hate them for doing the same and yet none of you would regret it and both of you know it. They could be the person you loath the most and miss the most cause you still remember how they sneaked a candy into your hands. You can sever the tie but you can never look away at what you've lost, at whom you've lost because fate doesn't allow you to be together, eating dinners in quiet peace, if only there's another life, another time, where i can make you another plate of pancakes i would im sorry im sorry im sorry —
Just a friendly reminder we now have two~ months until the week of our favorite pairs of brothers!! Don’t forget to tune in, or start pre-creating if you have the time<33
