Who's your favorite character in Demon Slayer?

If I had to pick one? Probably Tanjirou. And here are a few reasons I like him as both a character and a protagonist.

First is his kindness. I know it's a thing to have the protagonist in shounen anime be a "Nice Guy", but Tanjirou has a kindness that so rarely wavers. I think there are three demons in the whole series he shows no kindness to in their final moments after he decapitated/killed them? And they fully deserved his rage. I like Tanjirou's kindness because it sticks until he is pushed to his complete limit. He is kind, but not to the point of not killing his opponents because it would make him no better than them. He's kind, not naive. Thank you, Gotouge, for letting our boy do his job!

Second, his devotion to his friends and family. I know the fanfics portray him as a good boy who would never hurt anyone, and that's mostly right. But he's also fully willing to commit felonies to protect those he cares about. First thing this boy does when Giyuu stabs Nezuko is TRY TO PUT AN AXE IN THE MAN'S SKULL! Hurt his family, he will go feral and most likely attempt a felony. The epitome of "Do no harm, but take no s***."

His skull of steel is funny to me. A play on how thick-headed many anime protagonists can be, but now it's in both a literal and metaphorical sense, and I love it.

He's not OP immediately. Hell, I would say he never really becomes OP(as a human, at least). Yes, he knows a lot of skills and techniques, but he needed to learn and perfect them. He didn't just know them off the bat. He had to train to use his Sun Breathing without collapsing from the strain it put on him. He almost suffocated himself trying to fold Daki like a lawn chair, and would have if Hanako's ghost hadn't shown up to remind him his lungs are a vital organ! He gets injured and has to rest to recover from them. Pretty sure he only lasted so long in the final fight by power of rage and adrenaline as well as having back-up in the form of his friends and the Hashira! I love that! You see some shounen protagonists get instantly perfect at a skill they learned about an hour ago and/or get injured without consequences(even when consequences are established! You know what I'm talking about!), and I honestly prefer they struggle to learn it at least a little. It humanizes them, which is especially important when the protagonist IS a human. We have limits, and it's dangerous to exceed them.

He doesn't carry all the fights. He may have a laundry list of injuries, but a bad back ain't one of them! He either has Nezuko(+maybe a few others, like Yushiro and Tamayo, or Zenitsu and Inosuke) to back him up, or he is helping a higher rank Slayer and is, himself, the backup. He isn't more powerful than the Hashira until he trains and masters Sun Breathing in the Sunrise Countdown Arc. Then I would say he's close to Hashira level. Even then, he still needs help. His power level makes sense for his background and rank, and I am thankful for that! It doesn't make sense that a kid who's spent his entire life making and selling charcoal, who had never had a background of violence, would be instantly perfect at it! He trained for two years, and even then still had techniques to learn!

His motivation is selfless. He doesn't want to be the best Demon Slayer, he would much rather be at home making and selling charcoal with his family. He would rather Kibutsuji have never attacked his family, that his mother and siblings had been spared. But he does still choose to go out there. He still chooses to pick up a sword and learn to kill, and it's for his little sister. He does all he does for her sake. To protect her, and eventually cure her. He was probably so happy when the fighting was over and Nezuko was human again because it meant they could go home and live their lives as they wanted to. (Fun fact, this is actually one of the first things my friend who recommended Demon Slayer to me told me about the series, and it was what drew me in!)

All in all, I just like Tanjirou. He's a refreshing protagonist in a pretty well-written series. Yes, Demon Slayer has its flaws, but I still consider it my favourite anime(of the 3 I have watched more than one episode of, but I digress). I know some people don't like him for various reasons, but these are my reasons why I DO like him. Inosuke and Zenitsu picked a good friend, Kie and Tanjurou raised their son right, Nezuko has an amazing big brother, Kanao picked a good man to marry, and I just love Demon Slayer. It is the first anime I have seen where I have repeatedly watched it(I've seen the first season 5 times now, waiting for season 2 to be released to Netflix). I can't wait to see it all get animated!! I'm serious, the mass freak out I'm gonna experience for the Infinity Fortress and Sunrise Countdown Arcs is gonna be through the roof! I've seen bits and pieces from the manga, and it looks like it's gonna be great!

had a rough day today so i drew the silly :]] wow he's so happy !!!! good for him !!!!! :]

[4ngleofsmalldeath]

i don't know whether to be crushed or endeared by how easily jean welcomes touch (as opposed to literally all the foxes who hate touch). like he never gets upset when someone touches him and he doesn't jerk away when jeremy hugs him,,, does he crave a kind touch and affection or is he so conditioned to not having autonomy over his own body that he doesn't even think about it,,,,

Aside from The Star Wars Lesbians, Obi-Wan, and Maul, who's your favourite Star Wars character?

[margareturtle]

I haven’t seen this in a fic yet (pls send me links if you have!!) so I’m doing it myself:

How Jeremy+Cat+ Laila find out about the 80% deal (set after the news about Jean’s family has already been released) (pt 1)

The gang is in the kitchen:

Jeremy: Jean, I’m telling coach to bench you for just this one match! You’re sick (or minorly injured). Just take a break and you’ll be back next match!

Jean: No! I’m fine! There are scouts for Court coming to this game!

Jeremy: yes and you’re just getting over the flu (or a twisted ankle idk)! Just take a rest, the Court scouts will be back next year!

Jean: I’m good to play! I need to play! I need to sign to court!

Jeremy: And I’m sure you will be! Kevin was just signed, no one doubts you will be signed as well ! What difference does a year make?

Jean: what difference does a year— I need to prove myself or they’ll think I can’t and— I can play! I will play!

Jeremy: no— I already told the coaches you aren’t playing— they’re in support

Jean: YOU WHAT? *panicking* they’re gonna kill me they’re gonna kill me

Jeremy: *softening* oh Jean it’s ok. You’re with the trojans remember. You’re not at the nest. You’re safe. Riko is dead. Tetsuji is gone. Everyone respects your right to a break. You’re free of the Moriyamas now.

Jean: You insolent fool! I will never be free of the Moriyamas!

Jeremy: ok Jean, I know it may feel like that sometimes. But you are free with us now. There are no more Moriyamas that will hurt you.

Cat: *thinking* well there’s Ichirou

Jeremy: *glares at Cat*

Cat: what? As smart as you are Jere you still haven’t learned to take the things Jean says at face value. He just said “I will never be free of the Moriyamas”

Jeremy: yeah but that’s not— Ichirou is a business man, all he cares about is money and his new fiance!

Laila: yeah but what really is the Moriyama family business? I haven’t really thought about it before but Ichirou looks rich af so it’s gotta be smth good…Jean you must now what it is.

Jean: *doesn’t respond to non questions*

Jeremy: Come on, this isn’t related to why Jean is so freaked out he can’t play today!

Cat: judging by his silence rn it def is! So what is it Jean? What’s the Moriyama business? You must know!

Jean: *stressed* it’s not important

Laila: clearly it is, now you can tell us or I’m happy to start guessing!

Jean: don’t—

Laila: let’s see it’s prob smth shady if you won’t say. Let’s see, do they deal in exotic Animals? Is Ichirou secretly tiger king?

Jean: No?! Just stop!

Laila: Or is it some business offensive to french culture? Oh no Jean, is their business in wine? Do they sell prosecco and call it champagne?

Jean: it’s not—

Laila: Oh or it has smth to do with why you learned so many languages while you were there? They’re secretly in the spy industry training to be spies??

Jean: of course not! Now stop asking I won’t tell you.

Cat: oh jean 😭 way to get us all more intrigued.

Jeremy: yeah let’s return to the topic of—

Laila: *who’s been thinking for a sec* pfft I know *sarcastically* Ichirou is secretly a mob boss too who has been in kahoots with—

Jean: *flinches*

Laila: your dad and neil’s dad which means—

Laila: Wait what the fuck?!! I was joking—I know the Moriyama’s business is just some boring corporate shit! But you just—What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK!! You only flinch when I land spot on I—

Jean: *lunges for a knife with one hand that Jeremy catches. Lunges for his throat with the other that Cat gets a hold of first*

Laila: holy shit. No way. What. You’re kidding— I can’t. I wAs jOkinG !! Do the foxes know? Kevin must know if you do—

Laila: *picks up Jeremy’s phone he left in the kitchen counter*

Laila: *calling kevin*

(Pt 2 call with kevin coming soon)

[koldefingre]

I get the Kevin/Allison hype, the level of absolute egoism they bring to the team is just insane in the best way.

And though I haven’t colored this yet I needed to share it with the world

[deathshallbethelastenemy]

I designed loosely-medieval Luke a while back, but after drawing a sketch of him and Vader (below the cut), I realized that I never designed Vader’s medieval-inspired look yet! So I redid the sketch, and here we are! XDD

Rest assured Luke isn’t turning to the Dark Side here loll It’s more from a scene in my recent fanfic where he and Vader have a shared meditation session while clasping hands.

Vader’s design is a bit of a mashup of things loll His movie helmet is shaped much like a Japanese kabuto, so I went with that for his redesign. The chainmail and cape, on the other hand, are directly inspired by 12th century Siculo-Norman armour. I figured the lack of armour plates (like what I drew for Anakin and Obi-Wan) would give Vader more freedom of movement, especially with his prosthetics.

Here’s the original sketch:

I’m so proud of how I drew Vader’s helmet! It’s juts so hard to draw, and at different angles too (because I have to look all over the place for references!) T_T
