#shinobu's at her limit lol

[tsukasalvr]

Hi I would like to make a request! (idk if this is where you submit it im new to tumbler lol)

I was wondering if you could do demon slayer headcannons about what nicknames the hashira would give their children! (ex. munchkin, sweetheart, hun)

I was thinking Sanemi, Kyojuro, Uzui, Mitsuri and Shinobu if you're ok with that.

Thanks <3

AN: THIS IS SO CUTE MY HEART AHH

nicknames they would give their kids

𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗲/𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺: 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿

Characters: Sanemi Shinazugawa, Kyojuro Rengoku, Uzui Tengen, Mitsuri Kanroji, Shinobu Kocho

Demon Slayer masterlist | Main masterlist

Sanemi Shinazugawa

First of all, he would’ve never thought that he would have ever settle down with someone and have kids but he’s happy that he did

If it’s a boy called them little man and if it’s a girl calls her little woman just to tease them

“It’s not my fault I couldn’t just say no this little woman!” He said to you as he once again, spoiled his daughter

Never really calls them cute nicknames unless you cosider silly ones cute— such as calling them monkeys, booger, brat, and squirt

“Come on squirt, eat your vegetables and then you can have desert” he tries to bribe the child into eating the veggies

Kyojuro Rengoku

Loves to play with his kids and calls them his little firecrackers and his little bees

“Come on firecracker, up we go!” He very loudly says as he picks up his two kids at once, one on one arm and other on his other arm, and walks over to you

Loves playing with them and loves to call them munchkins and take turns in throwing them up in the air and catching them just to see them laugh

He lives his kids dearly and sometimes calls them his little sunshine’s, especially considering that they will most likely take after his bright hair

Uzui Tengen

Loves to play around with his kids and is very much considered a fun dad who likes to let them have as much freedom as possible

Because of his very tall and big muscular stature, he loves to let them hang of his arms and let them climb him likes he’s a tree which in turn, he calls them monkeys and koalas

Since he’s the sound hashira, he thought it was such a flamboyant idea to call them little songbirds and he thinks it’s the most genius idea he’s ever had and thinks he’s some comedic genius

“Sleep well now little songbirds, and maybe tomorrow we can go out and bother uncle Kyojuro” it’s not a maybe, it’s a definitely

Mitsuri Kanroji

Adores her kids and thinks they’re the most cutest most lovable kids ever

Will forever baby them no matter how old they are and will definitely call them her little baby/babies and sweetheart(s)

Will coddle them forever and tries to think of the cutest names ever like doodlebug, little doves, duckies/ducklings, baby-face, babykins

The names get cheesier and cheesier and there’s no stopping her. She’s very motherly and is almost like a bear with her cubs (and there’s a new name to call them)

Shinobu Kocho

Is super gentle with her kids and is like a mother hen watching over her chicks, and even called them chicks just to tease them

Since she’s the insect pillar, she thinks calling them doodlebug and ladybugs are the absolute cutest—but she only ever calls them this when she wants to tease them

Normally, calling them munchkins, sweetie and sweethearts are the usual and will protect them at all costs

She’s prepared for everything, a very small scrape on the knee? She has to go take care of her munchkin right away!

“You have to be careful next time sweetie!” She gently scolded her kid as she bandaged their finger even though it was only a paper cut

MASTERLIST

Tanjiro , Zenitsu And Kyojuro With A S/o Who Is Like Noelle

TANJIRO KAMADO

You are a helper in the butterfly mansion but also a slayer and you use stone breathing! Stone breathing is the closest to geo so yea

How you guys first met..

You guys met when after the natagumo mountain arc, when shinobu told you to patch him up you first saw him. You two had a normal chat about your job and why was he carrying a demon around with him he explained everything and after that you became very protective for nezuko after that.

How he confessed....

His confession was pretty simple and cute. You both walked up to a field full of flowers and that's where he confessed with a flower I his hand "would you mind if I be your boyfriend?" His eyes were shining so beautifully with the sunset rays hitting his face,and a little pout of his face🫶he looked absolutely ethereal and of course, your answer was yes. You cried a little when he confessed, finally being able to date the man you loved the most. He pulled you into a hug and asked your permission to kiss you. And his kisses were so gentle and sweet. You can't help but melt into his touch<3

When you guys started dating...

He has never been in a relationship before so this was very new to him. He is very affectionate towards you, he treats you like you are made of fine glass which can break anytime. His kiss are always so cute and he blushed alot after that. He was mostly the one who initiates the kiss because you're shy, but when you do it it's like a complete shock to him!. And he lovesss physical affection because after his family's death he never gets it anymore. Whenever he'll be sad or upset or just wanting some cuddles, he would come up to you. As you're really quite he always asks for your permission before even touching you.

He knows how much high expectations you have from yourself and most of them are not even possible, he tried his best to comfort you whenever you disappoint yourself and tells you not to push yourself more than your limits.

Whenever you smile at him he literally Bursts inside, he feels like a free bird lol since you don't do it so often

Whenever he is having those beautiful moments with you he feels so happy because he gets you have someone so caring and affectionate like you<3 you don't know how much those little moments mean to him<3

ZENITSU AGATSUMA

How ou guys met

You guys met around the hashira training arc. He found out you were Gyomei's tsuguko. He was so shocked to see you push giant rocks and carry heavy logs all by yourself! He was so amazed when he was unable to do any of those😭

How he confessed

He confessed to you during training and it was so stupid yet so cute . He gifted you a promise ring telling you that he will take care of you forever!

When you guys started dating

He literally stopped flirting with girls after you guys started dating and he treats you like a literal QUEEN

Whenever a man even approaches you he gives them a scary look and shoo's then away and then hugs you "mine" he says kissing your cheek "and only yours" you say while smiling

RENGOKU KYOJURO

How you guys met

You were around his age but not a hashira yet you were training under Gyomei and he met you when you went to Gyomei to ask him about something. Then he saw you training with him. He asked Gyomei about you and he told him everything. Ofc you heard it because he was so loud xd

Confession

He confessed to you while you both were assigned on a mission together. After you both killed the demon he came towards you and politely confessed to you and even told you that if you didn't liked him it'd completely fine and you can just say no!. When you told him that you share the same feelings too he hugged and said alot of I love yous to you

When you guys started dating

Hes very affectionate towards you and always holds your hands when you guys are together or just walking around.

He wants you to be a hashira and trains you hard for it

He notices how hardworking you are finds it amazing and you don't run away because every tsuguko he had ran away from the horrendous training he had

He would just come up to your room and ask if you're doing okay because he knows how much you overwork yourself! He makes sure you had proper meals and sleep

He always puts you and senjuro before himself because you guys matter alot to him

Hi, could I request for matchup if you have time? Otherwise it's ok:)

I'm bi and would prefer a girl from either Inazuma or Liyue(+18)

I am generally a very passive and quiet person because of my depression and anxiety. I always feel like I am obligated to help people even if I have to push myself by exceeding my limits and when I am unable to do so I just feel very guilty. I don't really have friend because internally, I guess I just cant accept the fact that people make friends because of the ulterior motives they have and it just becomes a very fake and transactional relationship. I think in a relationship, some things I would want the other party to have are... being able to have a genuine connection and also being very mature, understanding and supportive since I have a very big fear of coming off as too affectionate or clingy because I get comfort from physical affection. I also like to give and take care pf other people compared to them taking care of me because I feel like I'm being an additional burden to them when I'm on the receiving end of things.

As someone who really struggles with the social aspect of life even if I like doing sports, I don't really like to hang out with loud people and most of the time if I end up having a conversation with someone, it's always on a very deep and emotional level and I find conversations like this very interesting because it really allows me to think about the many possibilities as well as being able to understand and empathise with other people alot easier just because I am very emotionally sensitive. I also tend to overthink alot because of how I was brought up and all the trauma that is just laid on me just kind of takes a toll mentally. All in all, I end up being a very quiet person because I am afraid to be vulnerable and would rather help others out in any way instead of letting people do the same for me.

I was thinking of one match but when I read to one point I sort of changed my mind and it sort of gave me a much better match in mind instead lol

This is a part of 3x Valentines event (All slots are taken)

I match you with...

Kuki Shinobu

Just like you she's very helpful, but unlike you she knows when to accept help. So she tries to help you be more comfortable with the idea of others just wanting to support you for the sake of it.

It takes time to recognize that it's normal to ask for help, and you're everything but a burden. Especially to her.

She considered introducing you to the gang so you could see for yourself that people don't always befriend each other to get something out of it... But with how the boys act she doesn't think you'd be comfortable meeting them yet. Especially with how loud their leader is.

Should you show your interest though, she wouldn't be against it. She'd only make sure to have a talk with everyone so they wouldn't act in a way that'd make you uncomfortable.

She's extremely mature and understanding, although she tends to be tough on the outside, she's actually very sweet and affectionate on the inside.

So, knowing you tend to get self conscious when you initiate affection while also craving it, she usually makes sure to start it herself. Both because she wants it, and because she wants you to feel loved.

She always listens to you, and when your conversations get deep she helps you think through your struggles. It's not one sided of course, she doesn't try to hide her burdens from you. Since talking to you about them does make her feel more at peace.

[ladynightlark]

Hi! Just moved to tumblr here and I wanted to tell you how much I love your story. I saw A LOT of kny roleswaps cuz I love this trope so damn much. There’re many good ones but it’s rare to find one that hits me right in my kokoro like yours did. Since the first chapter, the way Nezuko repeatedly thought “Takeo was dead… Mom was dead… Rokuta was dead… But Tanjiro was still alive” was so haunting yet beautiful in such a heartbroken way. It hurts even more when you realized Nezuko was only twelve when her whole world was shattered in blood, and not to mention the amount of feels that is Zenitsu. I’ll admit that the rollercoaster of emotions it gave me was what got me so invested in your fanfic to the point of keeping on coming up with one theory after another though.

But one question first, I saw you saying Tamayo’s husband will be an OC, does that mean her three children are OCs too? Their no-nonsense attitude and the cold glares they gave Genya really remind me of the certain someone though*stares at the girl with plum red eyes*

And before I delve into my theories, remember when I brought up Dabi’s infamous quote? Let me tell you I honestly didn’t expect Kai and Zen’s development to be actually inspired by Endeavor and Dabi’s storyline here. It’s does make a lot of sense though as your Kaigaku really has many things in common with Endeavor now that I think of it, especially with how they thoroughly ruined someone’s life out of their own selfishness and the way it’s gonna come back to bite them HARD later. And the fact that I was today years old when I found out Dabi and Zenitsu have the same VA*surprised Pikachu face* 

Wait, does that mean Nezuko’s gonna be Shoto in this scenario?

Regardless, while I admit that my knowledge of MHA is limited since I didn’t really watch the show, I have watched enough clips scattered all over YouTube to get the gist of it. So, if Endeavor’s reaction to Dabi’s reveal is anything to go by, I’m so looking forward to how Kaigaku and Zenitsu’s “Dabi’s Dance” will go. Even more so if you decide to throw in the Hashira’s reaction when/if they also learn of Kaigaku’s crimes. And if he still did what he did to Himejima and other kids, I honestly can see a few of them straight up calling for Kaigaku’s execution right then and there.

As for my Upper Moon guesses, the angry male demon, I saw a few comments saying that it was Sanemi but I doubt it. The meeting occurred ten years ago so Sanemi would still be a kid back then. So nope, not him for me. Therefore, I’m gonna go for unconventional choice and guess that it was Hairo, former Lower Moon 2, as he’s legit the only character whose rage surpasses Sanemi’s. And since Gyokko was downgraded into a common demon, I’m crossing my fingers that there’ll be a canon lower moon who got upgraded into an Upper Moon here.

But other UMs’ identity aside, Upper Moon Two gotta be Shinobu. Something about Koku and the DK asking for UM Two’s opinion about the chance of reanimating Zenitsu’s corpse just screams Shinobu to me. And for that reason, I’m gonna guess that Kanae is in Tamayo’s place judging from her character tag. It would put the Kocho Sisters in the opposite side of the war but what can I say, I’m always in for Sibling Drama*evil cackling*

Hi! Welcome to Tumblr! And thank you so much!

Honestly, role-swaps are one of my favorite fanfic tropes to read, and there were just so many goods ones within the KNY fandom that I decided to bite the bullet and try my hands at it. I've been having a lot of fun with it and the direction it has been going, so hearing that readers have been enjoying it never fails to make my day!

I honestly didn't even expect it to turn out this angsty in the beginning (lol). The main goal I had when initially writing the first chapter was just to capture how tragic/horrifying the attack on the Kamado family would be from Nezuko's POV, while making it unique compared to what must have been going through canon Tanjiro's mind. Twelve and thirteen are really young ages to experince so much trauma, and then having to uproot your entire life to find a way to protect your remaining family is a heavy burden to bear.

The same goes for Nezuko's interactions with Zenitsu, as both of them were barely even teenagers when so much happened to them. I definitely think underlying tragedies with character relationships and confrontations of the past are going to become more prominent themes than I initially intended, and I'm excited to show those as I continue to write more of the series.

(Slight Manga Spoilers Ahead)

But to answer your question, yes, I do plan on making Tamayo's children OCs for now. Like her husband, we only got a brief mention of them by Muzan and Tamayo during their final confrontation in the Infinity Castle Arc. I wasn't able to find anything on what their canon appearances/personalities would be, so I figured unless more information comes up about them, I'll make them OCs. I suppose one benefit of this is it gives me a little more room to plan out how they will impact her role/arcs as leader of the Corps in this AU (oh, and more info will be given on the girl with the red eyes later...because I do have plans for her...).

In terms of the Dabi & Endeavor similarities between Kaigaku & Zenitsu, it sort of just started happening as I was planning out that specific storyline. Sometimes my writing unintentionally picks up things from shows and books I've read in the past, and I think it was around the time that the Dabi v. Endeavor & Shoto fight was animated that I began to see the potential similarities between the encounters.

I've had many conversations with friends about MHA's take on the Todoroki family drama, especially in regard to Endeavor's character development and change from his negative actions toward his children and wife to being a better father/hero. And one of the things that I've come to understand coming out of those discussions was that although forgiveness and forgetting aren't satisfying solutions in moving past that part of his character, there are still ways to make things at least a bit better by striving for atonement and mitigating what damage has already been done by taking responsibility for it without any excuses.

As I've said in posts before, the one thing I definitely wanted to make clear early on is that it is totally up to readers to decide if Kaigaku is worth rooting for. He's done terrible things and hurt a lot of people, but he's trying to make a change for the better. But doing that isn't as putting the past behind him, especially since there are characters who do know the bits and pieces of some of the damage he's done (such as Kuwajima and, very soon, Nezuko).

So as predictable as it may be at this point, there definitely will be a Kaigaku v. Zenitsu fight in the late future, which will be one of several major confrontations of Kaigaku's past coming back to haunt him and the people he's learning to become closer to. Kaigaku will have gone through a lot of change by then, along with us getting a closer look at his past (as I have ideas to fill in the gaps of his early life that the manga didn't really touch on yet, though that may change depending on how much the anime decides to add when Infinity Castle gets animated) and understanding a bit better the motive behind some of his actions. It won't be an excuse for what he's done, but a build-up to him learning to take responsibility for what he's done, and what he can do now to fix the damage he's done.

So I guess that would make Nezuko the Shoto of this confrontation, being caught in the middle of the conflict, but knowing that this is still a fight she has to take part in to put Zenitsu to rest.

(Also yeah I was shocked when I found out both Zenitsu and Dabi share a Sub VA (lol). You'd be surprised how many VAs share roles in MHA and KNY. I think one of my favorites is the fact that Genya's Sub VA voices Bakugo and his Dub VA also voices Hawks!)

I will say this, almost all of the bad stuff Kaigaku did in the manga is canon in this series. And I can confirm that at least THREE of the hashira know some of the terrible things Kaigaku did in the past (with at least one of them knowing EVERYTHING about his past). But as for if more hashira will find out about his past, that is yet to be confirmed...

And regarding your guesses on the Upper Moons...I will say those are some VERY interesting theories that I can't wait to confirm if they are correct or not...

Also, in case anyone was curious or confused about demons being Kizuki, the canon Lower and Upper Moons aren't guaranteed to be Moons in this AU unless they are explicitly stated to be ones. For example, Wakuraba (the winged demon Nezuko and Tanjiro ran into in Chapters 3-5) was Lower Three in canon, but was just a regular demon in this AU. And Gyokko, who was Upper Five in canon, was also a regular demon that took the place of the Hand Demon from Final Selection in canon. Some of the Moons MAY change ranking in the AU, but if they aren't stated to be Kizuki, then they are just regular demons.

But I'll definitely will give the canon Lower Moons some chances to shine since they didn't get much of a chance in canon. Who knows, maybe the next demon Nezuko meets will have been a Lower Moon in the canon timeline...

Thank you so much for commenting!!! I hope you have an awesome day!!!

[prismatic-glow]

hi color! Im curious about why one of my teams does so well but everything else doesnt? With this team (i call it “ol’ reliable”) i can insta-kill any enemy no matter how strong they are. But my other teams can barely kill a hilichurl ;;

Heres my rotation:

nahida burst > skill > kokomi burst > ca x3 > skill > shinobu burst > skill > yanfei burst > skill > spam ca

How can i make my other teams on par with this one?

thank you so much for the ask!! I’m happy to help :D

also to anybody seeing this, I am back now lol

looking at this team and your builds, it seems like the objective of it is to combine hyper bloom and other dendro reactions with DPS from Yanfei

here are the factors that seem to make this team preform strongly

Very well-built Nahida with her sig weapon

Kokomi, who is a strong character and also on TTDS

Hyperbloom destroys everything (even with no full EM on Kuki)

Well-invested Yanfei who is C6

Here are some factors that might be limiting your other teams

Characters aren’t fully invested (Artifacts/Levels/Talents/Weapons)

Lack of synergy (Only using DPS characters/Supports don’t buff the right stats)

Lack of strong elemental reactions

to me, it seems like this team’s strength comes from the fact that you are combining a ton of strong elements

So, here’s how you can improve your other teams

Come up with a “game plan” or goal for the team. In the team you showed, it seems like the goal is to trigger a ton of reactions. By coming up with a goal for the team, you can choose and built your characters better. Some examples of this could be freeze, melt, aggravate, or vaporize

Fully invest in each character. Get their level, talents, weapon, and artifacts to the appropriate level. This can be a bit overwhelming so I would recommend choosing your characters first and investing in them one at a time

Farm efficient domains. Choose domains where both sets are useful. For example, flower of paradise lost is a tiny bit better than gilded dreams in hyperbloom. But unless you are also building Scara, desert pavilion is useless to have.

I hope this helps!! Feel free to ask me any more follow-up questions. Good luck with your account!!!

LONG RANT AHEAD (sorry)

lol I'm glad you mentioned Sanji because he's my biggest problem with the manga. Sanji is only amazing in the LA.

I'm on the Wano arc right now and the dude just used the invisibility suit to spy on Nami and Robin naked and had the most dramatic reaction to Shinobu being a kunoichi who dares not to be a thin young girl with big breasts (and he did the same with Kokoro before the time skip... not saying I wanted a 19-year-old to be attracted to somebody's grandmother, but the way she "didn't count" as a mermaid because of her age and body type was gross).

I don't even want to talk about Alvida, or how Big Mom, the only major female villain in the series, is drawn as a grotesque fat woman who's obsessed with food.

Oda can draw Senor Pink, a fat man who dresses like a baby, as someone with women thirsting over him, but he can't have a cute fat girl in the story who is found attractive by Sanji? (but hey, at least Sanji has shown how open-minded he is by liking girls with 3 eyes and fishtails).

If the only women you think deserve to be seen as attractive are girls in their 20s with zero belly fat and a big rack, then you have a limited mindset (and it doesn't help that he also draws underage girls like Pudding, Rebecca, and Shirahoshi like that too). I haven't gotten there yet, but I saw that Shinobu goes back to being young and thin and Sanji praises her "glow up" and I'm just... what fat woman hurt Oda? As a fat woman, am I not allowed to be mad at fatphobia? But if I point these things out, suddenly I'm a weirdo who is "jealous" (sure, I'm jealous of a drawing made by a pervert who is friends with sex offenders. Give me a break, fandom).

Fishman Island has been my least favorite arc so far because of how insufferable Sanji behaved. And let's not even get started on all the creepy and weird things he did in other arcs like Thriller Bark, Punk Hazard, and the list goes on and on because OH MY GOD *Jesse Pinkman voice* HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!

Rebecca is a gladiator girl who's been victimized her whole life, but Oda has her wear a bikini top and a thong the entire time and makes creepy comments in his q&a about how this underage character he wrote might end up naked. Sometimes I got confused because Robin, Hancock, and Tashigi look too much alike. And speaking of Tashigi, she is the definition of "go on girl, give us nothing" because she literally does nothing. She's always losing and being ridiculed, and of course Smoker opened up her shirt when they switched bodies to expose her titties, because what teenage boy doesn't want to see that? (nevermind that any teenage boy that started reading this in the 90s would be a grown-ass man right now, and Oda ignores his Japanese female fanbase when they criticize the way he draws women. It's not just Western women who are not okay with this).

Robin should be on the same level as Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji and have the Haki because she's a Devil Fruits user with an incredible power, and yet her character hasn't done much since Enies Lobby.

Momonosuke is an EIGHT YEAR OLD BOY and Oda wrote him as a pervert who likes to grope Nami. And the stuff with Brook is terrible too, but Brook has nowhere near the same amount of page-time as Sanji does, so of course I'm going to complain about Sanji more. And no one in the fandom is trying to brainwash me that Brook is a feminist ally like they do with Sanji lol

I love OP and it has so many emotional moments where I cried reading (Chopper's and pretty much every Straw Hat's backstory, Usopp leaving the crew, Robin wanting to live, Luffy declaring war on the government to save Robin, Luffy fighting like hell to save Ace, Mr. 2 sacrificing himself so Luffy and the other pirates can escape Marineford, Law and Corazon's backstory, the list goes on), but JFC, I can't just sit by and pretend that it's a flawless story and say nothing negative about it because there's plenty of negative stuff on it.

I don't understand why this fandom is like this, but I guess I can't be a "true fan" of OP if I'm not kissing Oda's ass and acting like this millionaire is the ultimate master of storytelling.

It's not okay to teach boys to disrespect women, it's not okay to make fun of fat women, and it's not okay to add transphobic jokes (I didn't even touch on that but you know what I mean). I don't know why people want to shut down that criticism.

I love One Piece. I care about it. I understand that you can't spend all day focusing on the negative. But this story is hardly ever criticized, anyway. It's not an underdog manga. It's one of the most popular franchises in the world.

I apologize that this got so long. -OPLA anon

omg, pls don't apologize, you are so right on literally EVERYTHING.

i've written a minor rant about sanji when i was reading the manga, but my opinion of him has only gotten worse. like you said he is absolutely insufferable & only gets worse with time. what is worse is that his bullshit & misogyny is portrayed as 'charming', it drive me insane. oda tries so hard to continuously push the 'sanji is such a goodhearted & kind boy' & i'm just... really? except if you're an 'ugly' woman i guess.

to each their own, but it also grinds my gears how queer &/or transfem sanji is such a huge headcanon in the fandom. like... sanji... the biggest queerphobe in one piece. give me a fucking break. in general fandom loves sanji way too much considering what he actually is like as a character.

i thank the lord everyday for opla!sanji tbh, he's a godsend & i can't believe i've seen ppl complain about him being 'overcorrected'.

i've said this before, but it's utterly ridiculous how nami & robin (not to mention the other women in op) haven't had a major role or win in several arcs. they're constantly fighting the runt of the litter.

don't get me started on tashigi & punk hazard. it still drives me nuts that oda had zoro hold back on fighting monet bc she was a woman. it goes completely against the point of zoro's backstory. & then tashigi, who's supposed to be an echo of kuina, literally is never able to do shit?? like?? what's the point, oda? that women can't be good fighters after all?

speaking on punk hazard, sanji's entire behavior while he's in nami's body is abhorrent.

both momonosuke being a perv as well as his dad, oden, going to brothels since he was like six or some shit is so goddamn disgusting, like.... again what's the point??

brook is also an issue but i think fandom mostly ignores his existence & admittedly i do too.

& boy howdy, the fatphobia is truly rampant. you have every right to be upset & criticize it. i sincerely hope they keep alvida as a fat woman & skip the whole 'getting pretty & thin' bs altogether in opla. i was watching reactions to opla a while back & to see ppl going like 'does she have the devil fruit powers yet? oh no, she's not thin.' during her last scene in 1.08, like that shit is totally normal & not problematic as hell is just.... wow. they really expect that crap to happen & have no problem with it.

on the subject of shinobu, it really just goes to illustrate what i said, which is that oda never really changes. he still treats fat women like shit decades later & that's a major issue. he hasn't learned or bettered himself at all.

i think it is always fair to criticize the media one enjoys, particularly on things that are actually harmful. i find it necessary even.

nobody is saying that it's not okay to like one piece or that you're a bad person for it, but it is important to look at it critically for god's sake.

sorry if i missed anything, but like i said i agree with you on everything & more, so don't ever worry about ranting at me, i'm more than open to it lmao.

[demonslayedher]

Hello! I really enjoyed reading your terms of address document! Do you have any thoughts about why Kanroji is also polite/formal with honorifics with the other pillars (w/ exceptions Muichirou and Shinobu lol)? Is it just because she comes from an upper-class family or is it a gender thing? Alternatively, your comments at how Tengen refers to his wives got me thinking, had she and Iguro gotten married, are there terms of endearment she may have used to address her husband?

Hey there! That document took forever, I'm so glad you enjoyed! As for Mitsuri using -san for pretty much all the Pillars with the exception of Muichirou and Shinobu, the simple answer is that those are the two Pillars who are younger than her. : 3 She and Shinobu both came from upper-class families and yes, polite speech does tend to have a more feminine ring to it, but both of them address the boys younger than them in a totally appropriate "-kun" way, so it's not as if they are uniformly elevating their interlocutors. What I find interesting about the Pillars is that even though, say, Shinobu was a Pillar prior to Rengoku, Mitsuri, and Iguro (at least if we go by the Rengoku Gaiden), it's not as she's deferred to as a senpai or anything, so Mitsuri's exceptions really are age-based as opposed to rank based, I feel. Once a Pillar all Pillars are equal, it seems, and I like that. (...with the exception of Himejima. I love that he is the Pillar whom all the other Pillars respect most, though Shinjuro maybe got a smidge of this too for how long he had been in the role.)

While I coooould go looking up other terms of address for husbands and their different nuances, I'm just going to be lazy and go with my gut instinct.

First, a quick note that the Japanese language is criticized for being inherently sexist for most of its "husband" and "wife" terminology implying a man's mastery over a wife, so ultimately most of the standard choices are going to smack of that taste, though I don't think Mitsuri minds that too much with her Taisho values. That being said, it's just my feeling that Mitsuri would be the type to say "Danna."

While it's just one way of saying "husband" nowadays (and the word itself isn't limited to that context, though it's pretty firmly associated with "husband" now), it's got a sense of closeness to it that women might use the term when talking to their friends about their husband (like how on mom boards they write "DH" for "Dear Husband"), and while it would be odd to address one' spouse with in this in modern day, it's sort of old-timey.

The thing that makes me totally picture it, though, is that I've seen it translated as "Hubby <3" when it appeared on the screen of an anime character's cell phone once for 'Danna-sama<3' and I thought that was an excellent translation that totally caught the nuance. And just, yeah. That's cute. I like the affectionate ring of 'Danna-sama' out of Mitsuri, she'd probably get so much joy of being able to say that. To friends, she'd probably just say 'danna' for 'my husband' but she's be just as happy to say that too, wouldn't she?

Again, just my gut instinct for this one!

Rules

Hi ☺️ I decided that before I write any requests, or fanfics in general (since I may not get any, and that's okay) I decided I should post my rules. Could you please read them before, you know, requesting or something? Thank you!💜

I will not:

Do NSFW requests. I feel uncomfortable writing that stuff and I'm still underage.

Write for real life people outside of their movie/show character. I just don't really like that sort of thing, but I won't judge you for liking it!

Write anything nonconsensual or forceful or anything like that. It, again, makes me uncomfortable.

Do any type of incest. It's disgusting end of story.

I will:

Write femxfem. I'm pansexual and absolutely don't mind any requests you have for a girl in a certain fandom.

Write fluff, angst and anything sfw. I don't think I've written any of those categories before but I do enjoy reading them. For some reason I favor angst the most lol

Do x nb reader. As I said, I go by she/they pronouns and figured out that I don't mind people using she/her pronouns on me, but I still like being addressed as they/them.

Do x male reader posts as long as it's requested.

Things to Remember:

I'm not only going to be limited to the fandoms I'll list. You can suggest some and I'll watch that series/movie or watch/play that game and do what I can!

Be specific when requesting. I can come up with my own ideas(sometimes) but I'd like to write for you too if you decided to choose me of everyone on Tumblr.

I don't like swearing a whole lot, and I'm trying not to anymore(yes I have been, I'm sorry) so you might just see the basic and not very offensive ones uncensored, and others censored.

Fandoms I write for/may write for:

Green: I plan on it

Orange: Maybe I'll write for it if it's requested or I have an idea for it.

Red: I likely won't write for it unless it's requested

Blue:I haven't finished that series yet.

[seelestia]

why did you tag me on that anon ask it was a random anon, not me no no totally not me i dunno what you're talking about *trembling shifty eyes*

i've always wanted a samoyed puppy so yay?

sis how am i 'cool'??? i am a literal mess ™️ slfjslfklsf

i will probably lose the debate BUT my husband will be backing me up and i will not go down without fighting >:)

venti has that ✨babyface✨ going on for him so people are gonna mistake him for a gen z himself lol literally every time he goes to a store to buy his wine he has to produce his id because everyone thinks "kid?? u shouldn't be drinking at ur age???? go back to school????"

it buffered a bit on the orchestra part yep!! i had war flashbacks to the previous livestream lol hyv has been dropping down heavy hints about fontaine lately huh? and i see you there, your actual aim is nobleman!ayato hmmmmm~

wait albedo really?! i didn't know about that.... i want him too, he's such an interesting character aaaaa

PFFFFT i'm so dead sldkfldjls -yanfei dearest i know you're not built but i require your assistance-

ooo kokomi!!! i'm tempted to pull her but i'll probably skip - shinobu and jean are my main healers currently! aside the obvious reason why i will pull for zhongli (read: simp) i need him badly in the team too cause i am dumb at games and i cannot dodge for the life of me, i have the reflex of a sloth....

i am taller than xiao and therefore taller than you and i shall treasure this information because this means i can give you all the headpats :D

lol when i'm with you i'll hold your child leash but when i'm with hubby i think he's gonna be the one who holds me on leash cause you are so absolutely right about our dynamics-

me: *inhales* this is zhongli my husband he is very very very cool - i will fight you if you don't agree with me btw - and handsome and has a lovely voice that can put you to sleep in five seconds flat and he's a gentleman through and through not to mention a literal GOD who watches over his people and i find that really admirable attractive incredible yes oh also did i tell you that he brews the best tea and gives the best kisses and the best cuddles and gosh i just i love love love love him so much my husband the ceo of geo the lord of my heart <3 *exhales*

zhongli: *sips tea* this is my wife. she's lovely. :)

ps. i am. so mad at tumblr. i woke up this morning to see that they’ve shadowbanned my second blog too….. ;((

dw, that anon ask radiates so much rin energy to the point i barely require a confirmation anymore. (/j)

you're a cool literal mess ™️ and you should accept it fwdjskkdk i shall sip my tea while the two of you bring out your presentation board 🍵 you know debates make heizou go extremely feral, why would you do this to me. i can't keep him in control now. (/j)

( talks about standard banner leaks !! )

that baby face of his is both a weapon when it comes to puppy eyes and a disadvantage when he wants a glass of wine <//3 NO, THE GLITCH WAS SO FUNNY. i recalled watching the va's talk and then, heizou just showed up with the code like "ayo, here you go, love ;)" fejwkfsksk.

and n-no, i swear nobleman!ayato is not my main priority when it comes to fontaine partially *cough* <//3 but i've always been a sucker for masquerade and royalty themes !! if i could live anywhere in teyvat, it'd definitely be either fontaine and mondstadt >:) which is funny since my beloved's are from inazuma LIKE ALL THREE OF THEM HELPFJWKD wbu, rin??? what region would you be from if you were in teyvat??? it's nice to imagine 👀

i guess this counts as leaks but yes, albedo is getting added to the standard banner !! from how many limited characters there are rn, i think it'd benefit hoyoverse to deflect the possible "[insert limited character] rerun when" comments this way??? djwjskdks now, we all have a chance to get our resident chief alchemist >:) but this means that your chance of getting diluc is now lower JFJWKKFK BUT I SHALL STILL MANIFEST !!

just stack hp artifacts on zhongli and suddenly, his existence might be responsible for making healers jobless (/lh). you'll definitely need him when you go against ruin hunters, rin <//3 yes, this is my reminder that ruin hunters and their missiles exist, now suffer. (/j)

i shall treasure the headpats !! but xiao maybe not so much, he'd growl and smack your hand away. don't look at him, rin, i'm supposed to be your favorite shortie ;( (/j) and please, the way zhongli brings out a different side to you is so sweet <//3 you don't need to worry about keeping everyone on leashes when you're with him, just go crazy and stupid >:)

NOW, THAT IS A WHOLE HEARTFELT ESSAY. *wipes a tear* alright, i got it in 4k hd. 📸 (/j) it's fine, this would also be me when ayato fjjfkwsksk sorry heizou, i know you're on my theme and i still love you, but ayato will always be #1 <//3 such a calm and intelligent yet playful man. i am enraptured. the day people ask me to choose between ayato and thoma is the day i die 🚶 (/lh)

AND I NOTICED 😭 what does tumblr want with you??? did the support service answer your email??? i hope it'll get better and that you don't have to make another blog again :( i hope tumblr will get to @/shourin asap because please let my virtual cool literal mess cousin breathe <//3

[smugrenges]

I woke up with bad brain tooday, and remembered the D4DJ Vanguard collab and like I had to think about what the other characters would use. When the collab happened I was like "Ugh woulda preferred the characters using clans over nations, there's so many more ride lines to use."

But now there's a lotta ride lines in the new format so yay! I get to assign most of the girls cool vanguards!

I'll put 'em under a a read more in case people don't wanna hear someone be very normal about a silly card game!

Miyu: Already has Loronerol from the collab.

Haruna: Clarissa

Aoi: Bastion, since her card is her as uuuuh, Fort?

Shinobu: Nirvana, her outfit was based on one of the Blaze Maidens in Nirvana's ride deck.

Now for the ones who didn't get anything from the collab but were in the collab:

Maho: I gave her Lianorn as a reference to Kagamin playing Urara in WillDress, who uses Lianorn.

Miiko: Alestiel. She'd suit Miyu way more, but I think Miiko would work too.

Kurumi: Feltyrosa. I am a Felty enjoyer, I cannot help it, she's cool, buff her. Anyway, Kurumi looks liked she'd love board manipulation and being silly about it.

And the rest:

Kyoko: Zorga. This is so not big brain of me, but her VA plays Am in Vanguard G (Also Suiko in the original my beloved entity), who used Granblue, and Zorga is like, the closest thing to Granblue in D. Yes I like making characters have boss units based on if their VA was in VG.

lol side note put an Angel Feather boss in Bushi, please, then I can make Kyoko use it.

Yuka: Dragonic Overlord. Since Overlord can attack more than once, I think it'd suit Yuka who totallly has no limit when it comes to working out.

Esora: Welstra. Easiest option. Welstra can use Product cards to get a power boost and other silly effects like making a huge ass ship to blast shit, Esora would so do that for Peaky.

Saki: Seraph Snow. Idk I always imagined Saki using a Vanguard deck like Link Joker to lock down opponents. Seraph Snow scratches that itch.

Ibuki: Bavsargra. BEST GIRL BAV. Bav is basically a shrine maiden possessed by a god. I think she suits Ibuki, since her family do operate a shrine. Plus Bav has a lil guy (Trickmon) and Ibuki has a lil guy (cat).

Towa: Michu. I think Michu's the cutest ride line in Lyrical. She kinda gives off Towa energy tbh.

Noa: Fortia. Fortia has this skill to make friends with units she calls. The cards that Fortia works with are also cute. Lyrical Monastario is just the cute nation. Noa would thrive.

Rika: Bruce. I think a rush down, jump right in and attack is Rika. Plus she's probably played whatever sport the Diabolos boys play is inspired by.

Marika: Kyouka. Idk how to explain why, but Kyouka just feels right for her?

Saori: Eva. She plays seriously, she knows what's meta. Probably owns most meta decks, but Eva would be my choice based on style.

Dalia: This is literally the only reason I think about this collab a lot. LUQUIER, MY BELOVED. Luquier is from back when Vanguard had clans in the "standard" format, and her clan, Pale Moon, is a troupe of circus performers who can totally assinate people. Luquier can control dragons with her gaze, and Dalia scares people with hers! Both could kill someone but also slay on stage.

Tsubaki: Phantom Blaster Overlord/ Phantom Blaster Dragon. Aesthetically, Tsubaki with PBO just feels right like yes that is the main vocalist of Rondo Tsubaki Aoyagi and her massive abyss dragon, pay no mind.

Nagisa: Vermillion. "In my day, we had to get 4 damage to use Limit Break skills" ~ idk Nagisa probably. She just feels like a person who'd have a Narukami boss.

Hiiro: Another one that just feels so right; Hexaorb Magus. Hiiro's interest in fortune telling just works so well with how Hexaorb plays. I could imagine her just smiling so casually as she slays with knowing exactly what card is gonna be drawn.

Michiru: Avantgarda (I think that's how you spell it). Michiru just kinda feels like she'd want a mecha. I want that for her.

Lumina: Solrairon. It's kinda like Hexaorb, but you guess what card is on top? I just feel like that would suit Lumina, being able to call out the exact card without second guessing.

Hayate: Flagburg Dragon, this is a joke pick like I so think Hayate would see the burger boat dragon and go "lol I want that."

Kokoa: Minerva. It got harder the more I did and by the time I got to Unichord, my brain broke. Kokoa gets a goddess as she deserves tho.

Neo: Orfist. It gives massive villain vibes.

Sophia: Youthberk. She'd also play to win like Saori, but Sophia put way more cash in by having Youthberk. I think he works well considering her relies on new forms of himself, and Sophia obviously has her cool mode on stage.

Elsie: Almajestar. Elsie gives off lowkey Sophie Belle (the character in WillDress who uses this deck) energy, where she gets a lil unhinged and just fucks shit up with the Almajestars. Would she call someone a dog? Yes.

Weronika: Gravidia. Weronika would sooooo be the type to be like "In this card game I want to throw meteors at someone".

Rei: Tamayura. Considering Rei's traditional background, I think she'd pick the cute Yokai gal.

Rinku: Nirvana Jheva. It's different to what Shinobu would have, Shinobu has OverDress Nirvana, but Jheva is X-overdress. Literally a protag card.

Muni: Haseritt is a bunny girl I think? Muni would.

Anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk about a card game I hyperfixate on. IF NUMBAH ONE VANGUARD SEASON WOOOOOOOO

[rakuraiwielder]

to expel a bouquet

Beneath the clinical scent that cloaks her body, she always smells of wisteria.

Giyushino. Of a secret and words left unsaid.

A Kimetsu no Yaiba Fic / Major manga spoilers.

Also on A03

Foreword:

giyuu’s POV is hard to write since he’s sharper than people give him credit for but he’s emotionally stunted like a rock and his self awareness flip flops from zero to hero at least 20 times in 0.5 seconds its honestly ridiculous

that said i had a lot of fun juggling that and his 1 emotional brain cell personality lmao

“Have you been eating well?”

The question makes Shinobu pause, looks up from the bandages that littered their hands. She blinks once, twice, and Giyuu sees the focused haze in her eyes fade as her fingers retract slightly from the still raw skin of his thumb. Her wrist reaches up to rub at the bags below her eyes, and he feels something break the strange lull that had surrounded them both.

“Hm?” She blinks at him, present yet not there, eyes flickering in distracted beats as she gazes up with a look that held less of a smile and more of a quirked lip. Not for the first time he notices how sluggish she looks, shoulders slumped and drowsy under the humid heat that bathed the floors of the Butterfly Estate. It only adds to the curious weight he thought to voice; heavy behind months of grudging observation as she had wormed her way into parts of his life, implications he knew would make her retract if he did not thread carefully.

Shinobu was prideful, but even this he finds cannot deter from his own desires to pry.

He would ask, but already she was looking down again, rolling the gauze carefully over healing wounds and old scars. Shinobu hooks the white strip across the back of his palm, movements all precise and gentle, before turning to the table to look for the scissors. Giyuu can only watch, tongue tied and heavy from another of countless opportunities missed, noting the pale colour of her cheeks (did she think blush could fool anyone?) and how the softness of her sigh echoes the snipping of the blade. She moves back after, gathering the spare bandages she had placed in his hands, and he spies the barest hint of a similarly covered wrist as the sleeves of her uniform shifts. The sight of it jerks him back, wounds up something tight within him, and before he knows it the words were slipping from his mouth as easily as a sigh in the breeze.

“You smell like wisteria poison.”

The abrupt silence that envelops the room then hits different, and he feels -more than sees- her freeze, hands going still before pulling away completely to rest on her lap. Something flickers behind her eyes; sharp and unsettled, almost guarded, but then she was smiling at him before he could pull it apart. A stilted smile, he thinks, and almost regrets opening his mouth. Internally he curses himself for having a horrible sense of tact.

“Tomioka san,” she lifts her finger and pokes his cheek playfully, hard enough to make him wince. “Are. You. Saying. That. I’m. Neglecting. Myself?”

“You are always smelling like poison.”

“Not to be obvious,” she tilts her head in an annoyed fashion. “But I do work with them after all.”

Behind wooden lattices, Giyuu can hear the distant screams of the boar child overlapping with Tanjirou’s other friends. He can’t help but restrain another wince. It seems more often than not their supposed training dissolved into chaotic screaming matches. Alas, all distractions to the soft jabbing above his jaw. He was acutely aware he had stumbled upon something delicate, and he needed to take the time to formulate his responses right, lest he get a blade to his throat from riling the Insect Pillar up.

He had a habit of doing that, he thinks belatedly, though not through all fault of his own. Words don’t come to him right, and it was difficult to dance the fine line between talking and teasing that Shinobu lays out for him. Specially for him too, he thinks some more, and feels envy for all the times he sees her acting otherwise with the other demon slayers.

She would be an awful first conversational partner if she wasn’t his only conversational partner. (And no, Tanjirou doesn’t count.)

“I don’t mean that.” He says, softer than he would have liked, feels his misgivings rise as her smile wavers and her hand drop.

It had been barely discernible, but time and time again as they were forced into close proximity he had begun to notice; beneath the clinical scent that cloaks her body, she always smells of wisteria. He had paid it no mind at first, figured it was a by-product of the line of work she was in, but once he had realised it was hard to ignore. The scent blankets her like a layer of pollen, clings to her skin with a stubbornness that only grew more potent as the months pass.

Even now he can sense it; under the layers of disguised musk and fragrances, the lightness a tickling sensation at the back of his throat, whiffs of the purple flowers sweet on his tongue. It would suit her, were it not the reason he suspects led her to look the way she does now.

“You look tired.” Are you taking care of yourself?

For a moment she was still, eyes widening in bafflement, rendered speechless by knowledge he cannot quite grasp. He briefly ponders running his mouth again to explain before she starts to laugh, slowly at first before increasing in stride, shoulders shaking with mirth at a joke he wonders if he was the target of again. He wouldn’t know; she wasn’t looking at him anymore; eyes closed as she swallows peals of laughter. It throws him for a loop, even as she cups a hand over her mouth and turns to the side, trembling with an intensity that has him frowning.

His indignance only grows when he realises she wasn’t stopping anytime soon. Giyuu huffs, feels a churning weight behind the back of his ribs. It was not an ugly feeling, but the discomfort brought back memories of younger times -- of naive times, when he was unassuming and could afford to be childish. Even now he feels a pout tugging at the edges of his mouth, the back of his neck warming under the persistent giggling that smothers his ears.

How curious...

It irks him.

His hands hover unconsciously, makes to reach for her just as she opens her eyes, soft violet crinkling in amusement as she clears her throat in a bid to regain her composure. Her eyes flicker again, unaware of how he had jerked them back inches from the sleeves of her haori. Was it his imagination, or did she look relieved? Why-

There was an ache in him that desperately wants to know.

“What’s so funny?”

“Are you worried?” She snickers, smiles and waves away his prodding gaze with a lightness that makes his eyes narrow. “It’s fine, I have been eating properly. The girls wouldn’t leave me alone if I didn’t. Why just yesterday, Ao-”

She turns, and the scent of wisteria hits his nose again. Stronger. More potent. A sudden cloying reminder as the tightness within him snaps, and then he was reaching for her, cupping her chin and tilting her head up as he bridges the distance between them to follow the scent.

His thumbs press into her skin, traces the dark rings under her eyes as he shifts, mindful of the way the loose ends of his haori drag across the expanse of her own. The rustling sound barely makes a dent in his mind; a mere distraction, not when he could smell the faint odour of the flowers growing heady, headier than the soft breezes of wind he could taste from her clothes. Strange, it made no sense why the wisteria scent would congregate on her face. He was not familiar with the creation process of Shinobu’s poisons and antidotes, but he was fairly sure she’d wear adequate protection, do nothing to ensure harm to herself.

It would be foolish to think otherwise. He knows just how capable she is.

But yet…

“Tomioka-”

Giyu squints, gentle with his tentative grip over her jaw as he tries to trace the source, bandaged fingers brushing the corner of her lips with furrowed brows. Even her face was soft, mirroring the smoothness of her fingers every time they press onto an exposed patch of his skin; to dress a wound, check for a fever, brush or pat or poke him in an overly aggressive display he knows she does to establish the boundaries between them. For someone who made clear her dislike of him when they first met, she had engaged in much physical contact even before the tangled threads that bound them through necessity had started to change.

“-san-”

It was all superfluous musings. His mind was beginning to wander, and with a figurative shake of his head he pulls back slightly, angles his palm roundabout so that her chin rests between the spaces of his index and middle finger instead, careful not to brush the back of it against her throat. Perhaps it was a good thing that the gauze hid his calluses; the thought of her startling from his rough and cracked skin stirring up something unpleasant, but the notion leaves before he can wonder why. The scent eludes him still, no matter how hard he concentrates, even as he closes his eyes and leans in to breathe in the floral tones of it again.

“W-What..are you doing..?”

Always, it came back to her mouth. He doesn’t understand. His eyes flutter open, traces the shape of her lips as his fingers press gently against her cheek, tilts his head to follow the familiar scent. The wanting in him only grows when he cannot find the answer.

Why do you smell of it here?

“Kochou-”

Navy eyes glance up to see the woman before him flushed and livid. Shinobu had gone deathly still, and it is only now that he notices a stiffness present in the set of her jaw as she stares at him incredulously, deepening flush staining the softness of her cheeks.

“...You are turning red.”

“My, that’s a pretty rude thing to say to a woman.” Her voice trembles ever so slightly, but there was a dangerous glint in her eye, and confusion blinds him for just a moment before he finally takes stock of his hands, knees, clothes, the closeness of their bodies as he towered over her.

Giyuu colours, hands flying from her face as the realisation hits and he jerks back. His mind jumbles, blanks out into static as the weight of the gesture threatens to leave him free falling. A sudden compulsion; this breach of space, one he doesn’t quite know how to answer for. (And yet...) He swallows the sudden lump in his throat, feels the tips of his fingers tingle still from the warmth of her skin. The repressed panic must have shown on his face, because Shinobu’s eyes only grow darker.

“I overstepped, I’m sor-”

“You are an idiot, Tomioka san.” A hard tug against his sleeve leads him to glance back at the corner of his eye, seeing a hand gripping the checkered fabric. It only served to once again make him all too aware of the distance between; he had pulled back, but not far enough that he did not hover over her still, their proximity still close, too close for the two of them (colleagues? friends? mission partners? what were they supposed to be?) to be considered anything but compromising. His hand curls over the layers of butterfly winged cloth that pool off her lap. Another insistent tug on his haori. He does not pull away.

“Let go of me.” Shinobu narrows her eyes, sounds almost breathless as she glares harder with a sharpness he cannot feel. Her shoulders tense as her eyes flicker again, reflecting an anxiousness he can feel drumming in his own bones.

“But your mou-”

Her palms push hard against his chest, shoving him away before he could protest. It knocks the wind out of him; his instincts flare in resistance, but then her fingers were pinching his nose, and the sudden discomfort of it swallowed any retaliation he meant to do.

“Honestly, this is why no one likes you! You can have no concept of personal space.” She sounded more rattled than razor-sharp when he squints to stare cross-eyed through the blur expanse of her hand. He frowns back anyways, mouth twisting in awkward annoyance as her grip shows no sign of letting up. (If this was how she wanted it-) With a nasally grunt he grasps the wrist over his nose to prevent her from pulling away, takes an immature sort of pleasure at her widening disbelief. At least this bit of theirs was familiar.

“I do so. Also, people do like me.” His hold over her wrist tightens as she pinches him harder. (Really? Was she really telling him that?) “I’m not the one that goes around poking someone’s cheeks to get their attention.”

“Getting cheeky with me, are you?” Shinobu fumes, huffing through her nose as she glowers at his fingers and the thumb over her pulse -- as if glaring hard enough could burn a hole through the odd interlock of their hands.

Any moment now he expects a hard knock on the head, a violent gesture that would take her careening away toward the other side of the room and against sliding doors. One moment closer to reversing the distance between them.

He finds he does not care.

“Seems like you can take care of yourself just fine.” Her cheeks were flushed, and she would not look at him, no matter how he tried to angle his gaze. She catches him trying to do it all the same, and with another loud huff shoves a roll of spare bandages into his face. The pinching grip on his nose ends suddenly, and Giyuu finds himself swallowing the catch of his breath as air fills his lungs, cannot orientate in time before the Insect Pillar stacks more bottles onto his lap, pushing the remaining bandages and cotton and half empty medical kit to his side of the table.

She meant for it to be callous, but when she thrusts a bottle of salve into his other hand, curling his fingers around it securely with a firmness that betrays, he knew otherwise. The odd softness he feels subsides somewhat when she reaches up to tug roughly at the hand that still held hers, planting her knees on tatami flooring as she makes to stand. “I have a lot of things to do, so I’ll be taking my leave-”

“Wait.” His grip on her tightens, causes her to fumble as she wobbles on half-risen feet.

“Let go Tomioka san.” She pulls at his fingers again, her protest coming out a little too heated, makes him pause and reevaluate when she flinches in self regret.

“Not until you tell me.” Do you know? Your fingers are shaking.

“Tell you what?” She laughs, her eyes conflicted. “There’s nothing to explain.”

Her calves choose to buckle inward then, and Giyuu hears her yelp as she teeters off balance from her awkward posture. Unconsciously he loosens his hold on her wrist, scattering pill bottles and bandages on the floor as he makes to get up, reaches out to grab her waist steady before she can fall into a crumpled heap as her breath catches.

She startles at his touch, shoulders stiffening at their half-bent angle, body betraying her more as she curls into herself. Giyuu doesn’t want to think too much into it as he lowers her back to sit on the floor, can sense her distress as clearly as he buries his own while his hand turns clammy. It was disorienting. For a moment he fears she would struggle, but Shinobu bites her lip and says nothing, so he snatches his offending hand back before she can find a reason to.

A glance towards their other linked grip. Through their prior scramble their arms had come to rest on their laps, fingers linked between the empty space that separates their knees. He hesitates. Doesn’t let go.

Even now she won’t look at his way as the tension thickens within the room, threatening to choke them both. The realisation stings, just a little; an itchy prickling he spurns away in lieu of poised patience. It would do no good for such thoughts to get the better of him, even when the knowledge of being ignored leaves something to be desired.

It takes far too long for her to start fidgeting, giving into words as she swallows bitter resignation. In battles like these he always comes out victorious, the cursed stoniness of his face finally useful for something. An underhand method perhaps, but Shinobu never really played fair either.

“...It’s just residue wisteria powder.” A glance at him, hesitant and regarding as she says softly, stares at the tangle of medical supplies on his lap before reaching out to upright a fallen bottle. “A small breeze is enough to stir them into the air so they are hard to dust after. They stick to clothes easily; I supposed that was what you smelt. Careful,” the hint of a self-reflecting grimace as he makes to open his mouth, “they are still poisonous.”

His heart rate spikes. “Poisonous.”

“I wouldn’t be showing my face to anyone if I haven’t disinfected myself, Tomioka san.”

“Doesn’t seem like you to be so... careless.” It is a clumsy excuse, a half truth at best, and he doesn’t know whether to be exasperated that she knows that he knows this.

“Doesn’t seem like you to be so patronizing either.” Shinobu tugs at her arm experimentally, curls her fingers away. Her voice echoes, quieter than he’d expected. “Won’t you let go?”

Giyuu does not. Not yet.

He doesn’t like this; how at odds with her usual self she looks, gaunt and spent, the unsettling notion in his gut swirling the more he thinks about it. Too many things did not line up, and the scent of wisteria looms ever present, burns his lungs with their weight. They each have their own secrets to keep, the masks they wear a kindness to others from their grief, their suffering, themselves. Yet he knows he cannot brush this aside, even as he pulls back slowly, loosening his hand and releasing his grip.

“...Donburi.”

“Excuse me?” The backs of their fingers brush as they break; Shinobu is quick to draw back, cradling her arm over her chest as she finally meets his gaze, regards him with a look he cannot decipher.

“The owner of the corner diner in town came back. I haven’t been there for a while.” Giyuu inhales, clutches the spare folds of his haori in reflex and turns his head to the side; now the one avoiding her gaze. “You don’t have to get salmon daikon.”

Why is it, that I suddenly find it so difficult to meet you head on?

“...Idiot, have you been listening?”

He cannot see her expression like this, try as he might, cannot gauge if that was a positive response or not. Giyuu spies a look over the shadows of his bangs, catches her looking bewildered.

“You need a break.”

“And if I refuse?”

“...It’s my treat.”

Her mouth parts wordlessly, but he takes no pleasure in having the last word, bites his tongue as a million and one thoughts reflect through the deep pools of her eyes. He doesn’t chase this time; they were both frazzled enough as it is, can only hope the results would be the same.

“My, you can be such a handful…” Shinobu shakes her head, but her lips curl into the semblance of something wan, and the relief that runs through him was nothing short of palpable. “But I suppose a chance to stretch my legs outside would be nice.”

She must have caught onto his pleased expression, because her eyes narrow again, lips slanting further up into something more genuinely playful. All bark and no bite. He braces himself against it, feels the mood lift as they fall back into old habits.

“Tomioka san, you are kind of a brute, aren’t you? Touching a woman’s body like that.”

“I wasn’t trying to be.”

“You owe to be more straightforward. This is why people misunderstand.”

“You understand.” He tilts his head, finds it strange that she would say that. She alone knew his intentions, but that was all he needed. Wasn't it enough?

For some incomprehensible reason Shinobu colours, flushes red again as she diverts her gaze with a huff. But he thinks she looks better like this; less pale and more alive under the natural glow of her skin. Cosmetics could only go so far, and well, he liked it better if she could look healthy without it. Not that he could look for long; already she was picking on another unredeemable feature of his he knows was blatantly not true, the mocking smile on her face an open invitation for him to snark back.

Giyuu takes it gladly, ignores flashes of an odd regret on her face even as their petty squabble ends and they stand, packing the medical kit away and heading for the room’s doors, parting ways. He wonders why she would look at him like that, as though she could find something on his face if she searched hard enough, wonders when he can next bring their unfinished conversation up, if she would ever deemed it alright to tell him about the wisteria scent unfurling from the corner of her lips. He doesn’t want to think about the implications of it, wants to accept the truth from her mouth alone.

He only wishes he had pushed the matter further, wishes he had more time before the inevitable.

Above, the crow’s frantic squawks as their heavy footsteps stumble under the uneven terrain of the fortress breaks him from his reverie. Every utter of her name from its throaty caws sends unpleasant tingles down his bones. It shouldn’t be like this. It shouldn’t be like this.

His feet skid as they round the corner, and behind him he hears Tanjirou swallow a sob. The sound echoes deep in his chest, feels almost like pain. Giyuu grits his teeth, fuels that ache into the spring of his jump before it can take over. He cannot waver now, not after-

(A memory. Of a question swallowed within the flurries of gentle snow. Of pursed lips and a sad smile. Why was it, he realises now, that all the genuine smiles she had given him had been tinged with sadness?)

Fool, he thinks to himself, sees the visages of a butterfly leave him and feels something crack within his already broken heart. Unbidden, something wet slides down his cheek.

me: i want giyushino angst where they argue also me: i want them to squabble like children while doing it

i wished their days of eating at small nook-and-cranny diners and enjoying warm meals together after missions could have continued forever :,)

[shinobusupremecy]

Hey, can I request Yandere Shinobu with a fragile darling? Basically The darlings really fragile but they've been secretly training with Sanemi! Making them push their fragile body to the Limit with the help of Sanemi and this been going on for a year! It's been helping them a lot and somehow Shinobu haven't found out about this secret training. Until one day something happens to them in training. Sanemi and them try to figure it out by themselves so they wouldn't have to go to Shinobu but eventually they had to because the wound was bad and Shinbou would be finding out— that's all I have in my tiny brain for now! Hope you have a good day!!

Yandere Shinobu x gn!reader

A/N:Gosh dang. I will struggle with coming up with a logical problem lol when the reader and Sanemi train but ah well. I hope you have a good day/night aswell.

Your body was always fragile, ever since you were little. You were mad about that. You wanted to change that. You really got tired of not being able to play with the other kids or even going outside. Your parents always stopped you. 

When they heard that you wanna be a demon slayer they were fully against it leading you to run away from home. That’s when you met Shinobu. You two hit it off and you both became friends to lovers. 

There were one problem though. Shinobu started to become like your parents, she got way to protective over you after she found out about your fragile body. One time Shinobu wanted to see if you could swing a sword and after 15 times you began to get weak and coughing up blood. After that Shinobu never let you hold a sword again.

One time Shinobu took you to a pillar meeting and introduced you to every pillar. You analyzed all of them to see which one you could train under in secret without Shinobu knowing. 

You found out Shinobu and Mitsuri are good friends and Mitsuri cares about Shinobu alot so she wouldn’t train you behind Shinobu’s back. Gyomei would think it’s dishonorable. Giyu would be too blunt and Shinobu would find out pretty easily. She could easily force the information out of him. Muichiro would forget, Tengen would reject your request same with Kyojuro. So Sanemi was your only hope. 

After the meeting you went to Sanemi. 

“Hey Sanemi can I talk to you?” He glared at you and sighed out. 

“Ok but it better be important”. When you two were alone and made sure no one eavesdropped you explained everything. About your situation, your past and how protective and possesive Shinobu has gotten. Sanemi was sad hearing how Shinobu became prossesive over you. Shinobu is Kanae’s little sister and Kanae and Sanemi were good friends when Kanae was alive. 

“Fine I will help you out. But I won’t go easy on you just because of your fragile body” You nodded. So that’s how it began. 

You trained under secret with Sanemi. He was pretty rough on the edges but he took care of you when your fragile body couldn’t take it anymore. 

Sanemi knew well Shinobu wouldn’t be happy hearing this so if you got injuried he took a doctor with him instead of a wisteria inn or Shinobu’s estate. 

You got stronger which lead to you could defend yourself in dangerous situations. You got faster and your body wasn’t as fragile as before. Thanks to you pushing your body to the limit. 

Shinobu hasn’t found out about this and it’s been a year. There has been close calls for an example you were sparring with Sanemi and Sanemi saw Shinobu about to enter his estate. You ran for the bushes and hid. 

“Hello Shinazugawa-san” Sanemi just waved. “Have you seen Y/N by any chance?” Shinobu asked tilting her head while smiling sweetly at him. 

“No I haven’t” Shinobu analyzed Sanemi to see if he was lying or not. Shinobu was about to leave Sanemi’s gates which was bad because you were there right now so Sanemi had to waste Shinobu’s time. 

“Hey before you leave...” Shinobu turned to Sanemi. “I have some left over ohagi if you want some” Shinobu formed her mouth in a “o”. 

“I’m sorry Shinazugawa-san but I’m not so hungry right now” Sanemi cursed in his head. 

“Okay but the butterflies girls might want some” Shinobu thought about it.

“Hm I guess so” Sanemi nodded and went inside opening the door for Shinobu. Shinobu thought it was kinda odd but she shrugged it off walking inside. 

You on the other hand managed to slip to the butterfly estate in time before Shinobu came home. 

You have managed to slip past Shinobu all this time but now was the time you weren’t lucky. 

-

You were going in for a attack with your sword, a real sword. You insisted you wanted to step it up with a real sword. You have fought with a real sword before but just never against Sanemi. So now you were fighting each other with real swords. Things were going good so far until sudden pain came over your stomach and you coughed up blood. You opened your eyes just in time to see the sword coming for you. You dodged but not in time leading to the sword cut your side pretty badly. 

“Idiot! This is why we shouldn’t have trained with a real sword!” You ignored Sanemi as your hand felt the wound. It was a big deep gash, and you were bleeding quickly. The sharp pain on your side was enough to make you tear up a bit. 

“Shit!” Sanemi cursed as he picked you up in bridal stye. 

“Sanemi just take me to a wisteria inn” You coughed up more blood while tears streamed down your face because of the pain. Your hand was soaked in your own blood. 

“We can’t! I can’t take you to a wisteria house in time nor get you a doctor! We have to go to Shinobu I’m sorry!” Your heart dropped. 

“I will come up with something!” He was almost there as he bursted through the door of the butterfly estate. 

The triplets came out concerned and tried to run after Sanemi but he didn’t care and bursted through Shinobu’s office. 

“My my Shinazugawa-san it’s rude not to kno-” Shinobu dropped her needles she held in her hand when she saw you. Your face scrunched up in pain as there were trails of tears. Shinobu’s smile dropped and she lead you and Sanemi to a empty pateient room. 

“Lay them down there” Shinobu said but it sounded more like a demand. Sanemi laid you down, the white sheets of the bed quikly staining red. 

“Please tell me now how the hell did this happen?” Shinobu smiled angrily at Sanemi. 

“I found her in the forest when I was going home from a mission and I saw her on the ground bleeding” Shinobu clicked her tounge.

“I thought you were no liar Shinazugawa-san” Sanemi’s heart sank. “This wound...” Shinobu showed your wound infront of Sanemi. He took in how nasty the cut was. “It’s clear that this gash is created by a sword. Me who is a doctor should know this of all people”. Sanemi looked down at the ground in shame. 

“Shinobu. It isn’t his fault” You called out and she turned to you.

“No it’s not only your fault” Shinobu smiled sweetly at you but underneath that she was pissed. “You both have something to explain to me” Sanemi nodded.

“Now get out” Sanemi walked out of the room without a second word or protest. 

“Yep we’re screwed” Sanemi thought. 

Shinobu turned back to you and smiled. 

“Now what really happened?” Shinobu asked you in a chilly tone. 

“Like he said he found me in a forest” You tried to lie but Shinobu read you like a book. 

“Has Shinazugawa-san rub his lies to you now? I told you he’s he’s not a good influencer for you” You nodded a bit. 

“Now tell me the truth will you?” You bit your lip a bit. You couldn’t. If Shinobu found out she would never let you go out again. 

“I-” You suddenly felt Shinobu’s soft finger tips move to your gash. She then began to squeeze your gash, not from outside the skin but inside where it was bloody. You whimpered in pain as Shinobu’s fingers began to get bloody with your blood.

“Please?” Shinobu asked sweetly as she continued to squeeze your gash, her fingers becoming more bloody and pain beggining to consume you more. 

“Sh-Shinobu what are you-?” You let out a choked cry as Shinobu squeezed your gash pretty hard. 

“Shinobu it hurts” You whined a bit, seeing your blood flow out more. 

“I know baby...” Shinobu whispeard sweetly but she didn’t show any sign of stopping. 

“Shinobu I will bleed out or something!” You begin to panic a bit trying to move away but Shinobu held you firmly in place. 

“Then I suggest you to tell me the truth if you wanna escape that outcome” You let out a small cry when Shinobu began to dig and squeeze your gash very hard. 

“Me and Shinazugawa has been training in secret!” You shouted when you couldn’t handle the pain anymore. Shinobu lifted her fingers from your wound and you let out a shaky breath, your side aching with pain after what Shinobu did. 

“That wasn’t so obidient of you” Shinobu spoke barely louder than a whispear. You raised to a sitting position moving away from her a bit. 

Shinobu has NEVER hurt you just to get answers from you so this sudden change in her scared you. Sure she never let you go out and used some small hidden threats but it never escelated to this. 

“How long has this been going on for?” You looked down, away from her purple eyes that pierced your skull. 

Her hand grabbed your chin making you look up at her face. Your face was so close with Shinobu that her face was the only thing you could see. You stared into Shinobu’s purple eyes as Shinobu’s smile was no longer on her face. 

“I won’t ask again” You felt her other hand move slowly up your wound again. Afraid that she would squeeze your wound again you tried to push away but again Shinobu held your chin firmly in place. You felt her fingers coming closer and closer to your gash again. You began to sweat a bit. 

“One year!” Shinobu was a bit taken aback. How could she not have noticed. It all made sense now. Sometimes you came home late and Shinobu asked you where you have been. You told her you went shopping but no new stuff were brought in. When she tried to ask you, you always avoided the question and made it look so innocent like nothing have happened. Shinobu believed in you. 

“A whole year?” Shinobu asked and you nodded looking away from her face. You couldn’t make up what she felt. Was she angry? Sad? From the tone of her voice she was probably mad. 

“I told you not to go out” You nodded at her words sad that it’s all over now. Your body has been building up in one year and now all that is gone. 

“I guess I have been to nice to you” You looked up just in time as Shinobu stabbed a syringe in your arm. You shouted in pain but before anything you felt everything become black and you fainted. 

-

You woke up and you saw that you were in a dark room. You tried to go up but chains held you back. The door opened and light loomed in. There you saw Shinobu. 

“Shinobu what am I doing in here?” Shinobu smiled sweetly at you before walking towards you, lowering herself to your height. 

“You wouldn’t listen. You wouldn’t obey me so...” Your face filled with fear. “I had no choice but to lock you up!” Shinobu said cheerfully. 

“Please don’t! Please don’t lock me away!” You begged. Shinobu just looked at you and smiled at your pleading face. 

“I hate the dark don’t leave me!” You began to plead more when Shinobu only smiled and walked to the door. 

“Please! I won’t train with Sanemi anymore I promise!” Before Shinobu left she looked back at you smiling.

“You brought this onto yourself” Your heart sank. “You need to face the consequences” 

“Shinobu I beg you don’t leave me! Please!” Your pleading cut short when Shinobu closed the door. 

A/N:I know I made this more dramatic than it had to be with Y/N’s injury but I still like this oneshot I made. Maybe one of my favs now. I wanted to go with a chilling ending.

[tickly-trashcan]

Hashira Headcanons

ahhh I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now!! finally getting around to it hehe so I hope everyone enjoys these! I had a lot of fun with them~ They’re also pretty long so they’re under the cut! I’m still working through headcanon requests I’ve just been really into demon slayer lately and wanted to get something quick out~

Giyuu Tomioka

he’s surprisingly ticklish?? like not screaming at a poke ticklish but more ticklish than one would expect

He’s also good at hiding it so not many people find out

That is, not many people knew until Shinobu found out and decided to point it out in front of all the other Hashira

When he was still training, he got tickled by Urokodaki a lot when he was training, and then by Sabito and Makomo when they were resting

He would always tickle Makomo and Sabito back (even though he ended up losing the eventual tickle fight anyway) but now he doesn’t really tickle people

He’s seen a lot and doesn’t laugh much, let alone smile

That said, some of the other Hashira tickle him sometimes, though it’s mostly Shinobu and Uzui, occassionally a poke from Mitsuri

It’s normally not enough to get him laughing, just enough to embarrass him though

Shinobu has gotten him to chuckle once and she’s never let him live it down

His most ticklish spots are probably his knees, sides, and his ribs

He almost never tickles other people, like he’s tickled Tanjiro once and it was very brief and accidental

I think he needs to laugh more though so like,,, get him Shinobu >:)

Shinobu Kochou

She’s really ticklish omfg 

She also has the prettiest laugh? it’s so elegant waaaa

Her tickle spots are her tummy, sides and waist!

Not many people know she’s ticklish, aside from Mitsuri and a few people at the Butterfly Estate

When Kanao found out she was ticklish she flipped her coin and it was tails, so she decided to tickle Shinobu a little bit and she just let it happen because she knew that Kanao didn’t have any ill intent with it

Giyuu tickled her once because she was tickling him and she wasn’t expecting it and squeaked it was pretty funny

She has the MEANEST teases omggg

“Surely this doesn’t tickle, hmm? It does? Oh my... but you’re a demon slayer right? What if a tickle demon came after you~?”

She’s just,,, ruthless man

She also love love lovesss those gentle tickles when she’s dishing out on people

She can find peoples bad spots easily and just go after them with her NAILS

She and Mitsuri get into tickle fights on occassion, but Shinobu normally wins because she can fluster Mitsuri easily and combined with the gentle nail tickles, Mitsuri’s a goner

She has lost sometimes though because Mitsuri’s really damn strong and when she gets on Shinobu’s sides her chances of winning go down dramatically

Kyojuro Rengoku

Rengoku, my beloved

He’s really not that ticklish, like he can get laughing or chuckling but it’s not easy

He only has a few spots, and I feel like one of them would definitely be his underarms

Like some of the other Hashira like Mitsuri or Shinobu have come up behind him and tried to tickle him and he’s like “Oh? A tickle fight? Cool!” and just pounces on them lmao

He’s definitely more of a ler than a lee, and he’s a really nice ler!

He compliments his lee, teasing on rare occassion and is just overall really fun and gentle too

Sometimes he can get a little rough but he always knows when to tone it back a little

He’s tickled the trio a little bit, especially Tanjiro who’s basically like his apprentice since he uses a similar breathing technique

He also tickles the other Hashira sometimes, mostly accidentally but other times just because he wants to

When he tickles people it’s mostly Mitsuri (which he gets glares from Obanai because of) and Shinobu, Obanai on occassion because of said glaring and just generally wanting to hear him laugh

He’s super playful in general but he’ll stop when asked to because he respects peoples limits

Tengen Uzui

Okay another one that’s not very ticklish unless you get really specific spots lol

He’s ruthless as a ler, and he’s seldom the lee so he doesn’t understand peoples limits and stuff

He has the LOUDEST laugh once you get him going though, part of it is just him being overdramatic though

His tickle spots are his hips and his ears, two spots that are harder to get oof

Similar to Rengoku he’s pretty playful, but most of that is because he’s just generally flamboyant

He doesn’t tickle people too often, but he has definitely put a target on people like Giyuu and Sanemi lol rip them

He’ll tickle people until they’re hiccuping or in silent hysterics, he’s one of the people that doesn’t really register the word “stop”

That said he’s nicer with people he likes, such as Mitsuri or Rengoku because of their upbeat nature

He likes people he deems flamboyant enough, and since those two meet the requirements he’s nicer to them when it comes to tickling

Muichiro Tokito

SWEET BABY BOY

okay so he’s actually really ticklish?? it’s so cute pls

He deserves gentle, sweet, and loving tickles, not the evil rough ones from Uzui lmao

Lighter tickles get him better than rough tickles anyway and he prefers when people are more gentle with him because he’s not a huge fan of being touched unless he really trusts the person

He’s ticklish pretty much everywhere, but some of his worse spots are his ribs, underarms and his neck

Teases don’t work on him, he’s completely oblivious to them lmao

He has the sweetest little giggle awww the other Hashira love to tickle him every so often just because he’s so cute and his face gets a little red too

He doesn’t really like being tickled unless it’s his friends or the other Hashira because he has respect for people closer to him

Mitsuri and Rengoku tickle him the most often, sometimes even together just to make him at least smile

He doesn’t tickle people very often because he knows if he initiates it with any of the other Hashira he’ll end up getting wrecked lol

He’s tried it before with Rengoku, never again

Mitsuri Kanroji

MITSURI KANROJI MY BELOVED

Super ticklish, absolute baby, deserves it just for being so cute

Her tickle spots are her tummy, hips, and her ribs!

She’s generally very ticklish and just loves tickling, both dishing it and taking

She likes to tickle Obanai and Muichiro especially, but she’s tickled pretty much every pillar or at least tried to

She has the CUTEST laugh it’s like,, a bit squeaky and snorty but in the most endearing and adorable way? idk maybe i’m biased because I love her but she’s definitely got a cute laugh

She’s really teasy and she doesn’t even mean to be, she just loves to laugh along with her lee and watch their face go red

She’s very squirmy and giggly when people tickle her and she’s the type to start laughing when people just wiggle their fingers at her

her favorite person to tickle is probably Obanai because she just thinks his reactions are really cute and she loves his laugh, but Muichiro and Shinobu are also people she likes to tickle hehe

If she has access and is close enough with the person she’s definitely the type to give people raspberries

Obanai Iguro

grrr this is gonna be so biased i love him too much

He’s very ticklish but he’s really good at controlling his reactions as long as he’s not caught off-guard 

His most ticklish spots are his hips, thighs, and his knees ouuGH

He has a really raspy laugh if anyone manages to get him to that point, for the most part he just gasps and chuckles occasionally

He’s not tickled very often and not even all the Hashira know he’s ticklish, only Mitsuri, Rengoku, and Gyomei really know that he’s ticklish and even then only Mitsuri and Rengoku actively tickle him when they’re not around the other Hashira

He’s really embarrassed with how ticklish he is so he doesn’t like people knowing, and the three that know respect that and don’t tell others

He doesn’t like being tickled either but he doesn’t seem to mind when Mitsuri does it but you definitely didn’t hear that from me hehe

Kaburamaru doesn’t mean to but sometimes he will like slither on Obanai’s neck and DAMN that tickles more than it should but he’s gotten a little bit more used to it as time has gone on

that said he still jumps a little bit if Kaburamaru does it really suddenly or quickly, or flicks his tongue near his ear or neck

Gyomei Himejima

He’s not very ticklish and doesn’t tickle people very often, so he’s left out most of the time when it comes to tickle stuff :(

There was one rare occassion, it was probably because Muichiro had been tired from a mission but Gyomei picked him up to help him to bed and accidentally tickled the poor boy 

Of course, that led to a few gentle tickles as well, not enough to make him hysterical but just enough to make him giggle a little bit before falling asleep

Gyomei’s probably ticklish on his feet and his knees, spots that others normally don’t tickle and he probably doesn’t even know he’s ticklish

Mitsuri and Rengoku, even Uzui have tried tickling him before but they don’t get much of a reaction so they’ve kinda given up on tickling him

Of course they invite him to help tickle someone else, like if they’re ganging up on Giyuu or Sanemi, and every now and then he’ll join in

He’s very gentle, he’s almost over concious of whether or not he’s hurting someone so his touches are very soft and people hardly ever feel them sometimes

Sanemi Shinazugawa

Not ticklish. at all

Even after he’s been tickled to tears by multiple people, he’ll never admit it

He hates it, he’s never liked it and definitely doesn’t like it now

He never initiates it and doesn’t tickle other people very often, but he’s like a toddler when he gets tickled he just turns into putty

He kicks and flails and throws threats out left and right, but he never acts on them because he’s too tired afterwards from kicking and screaming and laughing to actually enact any of his threats

His spots are under his arms and his ribs, specifically his upper ribs

He falls into hysterics pretty quickly just because he’s a drama queen but we still love him lol

He’s a bit,,, vengeful, but he doesn’t like to tickle other people that much

That said, the demon slayer code says that you can’t attack another demon slayer so he kinda has to tickle to get back

He’s a really hard tickler, he’s not good at it and it kinda hurts sometimes and he’s picky and choosy with who he actually gets revenge with

sometimes he’s really mean and gets revenge on someone who was walking by and is like “This is what you get for not helping me!” and its like what did they do?? literally nothing chill out Sanemi pls

He does target Giyuu sometimes though just because he’s an asshole lmao and he has like a vendetta against Giyuu for, again, literally no reason

That’s all I have for now, thanks for reading! 

pspsp if you wanna request any other demon slayer headcanons my requests for headcanons are open heheh~

Belle: The Dragon and the Freckled Princess (Review)

Hello!! Never done a review before so please bear with me and also a warning for spoilers :)

Overview: As a whole I liked the film a lot, I have no history with the director or animating studio so I had no idea what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised! I tend to be anxious to watch new movies because I'm putting a lot of time into something I might not like but I ended up finishing the movie at like, 1am lol. It was a new and refreshing looks at the Beauty and the Beast story that I know well, whilst pulling in the element of the virtual reality that I had also grown up with but had never considered in relation to each other. I was disappointed by a few parts of the film but not by the out right content but rather the lack of it. Especially with regards to the end of the film where they showed a positive end but failed to fill in all of the details that would have made it positive. Here, ambiguity did fail the movie but aside from that I was well invested.

Negatives: As mentioned the movie doesn't explain or elaborate on certain points, and I feel like that is largely to do with the limited time. The biggest being the fate of the two brothers. I have seen reasonable critques saying that it is ridiculous narratively for the boys to go back to their father, and they probably did not go back to the police because of how unreliable they are. It is possible that the film is hoping that the audience believes in Suzu enough to assume she finds them a safe place to stay. But personally I would have found it more compelling if they showed Suzu and the brothers working together as a team in the rain to make it to a safe place such as a hospital (possibly implied by Suzu's bandage). Then at least begin the steps to rehoming the boys elsewhere and show them as aiming to keep in contact afterwards. My second issue is with the character of Justin and the narrative of justice in the film. I feel like it could have been a strong story but it fell short because of how little time was given to it. Another issue was how many people were on Justin's side. The idea that the children were in support of the Beast is fine although cliched in terms of a "children are the future and understand better than adults" idea. But it would have made more sense for a larger portion of (young) adults to be opposed to Justin and the idea of revealing someone's identity given how important anonymity is to everyone in U. On some level Justin revealing people's origin is so close to real world doxing that I felt more people in U should have been opposed to Justin's actions, which in the end could have made the hunt for the Beast and Suzu's reveal more impactful. On a smaller note I also wish there could have been more character development for characters like Hiroka and Shinobu. Not just in relation to Suzu but also in their own right as people involved or not involved with U. A moment on Hiroka and why she is comfortable taking a back seat to manage Belle as a small sprite could have been interesting, or why we never see Shinobu in U despite knowing Suzu is Belle.

Positives: Aside from the two main points above the rest of the story I greatly enjoyed, especially with regards to friendships. Firstly, I am a big fan of Suzu and Luka falling into a solidarity with each other and getting along so well, helping each other when they needed it. Luka is presented to as the isolated mean head girl, which completely collapses when we see how earnest she is to Suzu and how quickly she jokes with her and plays with Suzu's dog. It could have been interesting if Luka did have feelings for Shinobu and how that could have been resolved nicely, but I am too amused by the scene between Luka and Kamishin to be bothered. On Luka and Kamishin, I don't have too much to say but I do appreciate how Kamishin was just as flustered and nervous as Luka was! Especially given how it was just a confession that reduced them to silence, it was very sweet. Lastly Suzu's and Kei's, this one is incredibly important to underline given how everything was set up, in the Beauty and the Beast frame work, for a great revealing romance. But it wasn't. Kei is shown to be a nervous child early on, when Suzu aims to kiss him he shuts his eyes anxious and shy so Suzu hugs him instead. Something he unlikely gets unless it's from his brother. Another scene is when he announces that he is in love with Suzu, Suzu who is three years his senior does not reciprocate. No, she just says "Thank you" and then returns how to continue her feelings for Shinobu back home. Both Kei and Suzu are part of each others growth in entirely different ways, Suzu's rediscovery of her own voice, reconnecting with her father and truly understanding the support she has been continously given alongside Kei's rediscovery of a life outside of the abuse of his father, where he can find love and the strength to fight back against pain and continue, that there is still hope. Conclusion: As a whole I think Belle was a great movie that didn't do as well as it could have done because of how much time it had. I understand that it was already a 2 hour movie, but truly I believe it could have been better if it was a show. It would have allowed all the characters to grow, even if they were ambiguous at the end. Beyond that, the story was refreshing, relationships were interesting, the designs were incredible especially in U (shout out to one of the older ladies having facial hair, that was nice) and the music was lovely. A movie I would definitely watch again.

Steamy Seduction

I’m back!! I finally finished that fic I mentioned forever ago lol. Believe it or not but since school’s started I’ll be able to produce more work. Without further ado here is some long overdue love for Mitsuri! As always, enjoy~Amanda

Side note: the fact that I'm almost to 1k followers is mind boggling so thank you all!!

“Hmmmm” you sighed in relief, submerged up to just below your nose in the boiling water of the hot spring. It had taken some major planning, but you managed to gather most of your Hashira friends (Sanemi and Obanai both thought this was a waste of time) to take a much needed vacation at a local hot springs in the mountains. “Sometimes you could be such a child” Shinobu snickered from the edge of the water; she and Mitsuri sat wrapped in white towels, the water morphing its shape to hug their form- you almost purred at the sight of Mitsuri’s breast, just barely covered by the cloth.

floated over to the girls, tightening your bun in the process. Mitsuri couldn’t help but giggle as she watched the way her friend glared, your fingers finding Mitsuri’s. Shinobu stretched, pulling herself out of the water, “I don't want to end up like a prune so I’m going to bed, you two love birds stay out of trouble” she winked, grabbing her robe and disappearing.

As if on instinct, you moved to Mitsuri’s lap, your legs trapping her against her seat. “You look so pretty with your hair down” you cooed playing with the loose strands. She looked away shyly, her arms softly hugging your waist. “You always say I’m pretty, so how will I know when I look bad?” she probed. “Impossible. You’ve never looked anything but beautiful”. You moved on from her hair, your fingertips brushing against the skin of her neck up to her cheeks, holding the rosy flesh in your hands, your thumbs rubbed soothingly along her features.

Mitsuri hummed in content as your lips traveled along her skin, leaving open mouthed kisses along her jawline, down her throat, until finally reaching her lips. You pressed your chest against hers, groaning into the kiss at the feel of Mitsuri’s hard nipples against yours. Your tongue slid along her bottom lip, silently asking for permission, nibbling gentle against the swollen skin. Her grip on your waist steadily tightened as her legs figgetted between yours. “We can get into a little trouble, no?” you flirted, toying with the edge of the towel. Mitsuri fervently shook her head, already trapped under the spell of your touch.

You shifted, bringing your knee between her thighs, pressing against her naked mound. “Agh!” you swallowed her moan with your mouth, moving your knee back a bit. “ Sorry baby, but you’ll have to be quieter than that” You held her chin, staring into her wide eyes, “Just over that wall are all the guys, you wouldn’t want them to hear you” you inched your knee closer again, just brushing against her folds. The sound of Uzui’s booming laughter emphazed your point. “Or maybe you want them to hear how easily you come undone at my touch. But you know baby, I don’t share, I want all your delicious noises for myself so if you can’t keep quiet I’ll just have to stop” you pulled away slightly, “No! I’ll be good I promise” Mitsuri pleaded, pulling you against her. “That's what I like to hear baby, you're always so good for me” you dawdled, your knee gently grinding circles against her cunt. You pulled her towel open, riding her of the pesky cloth and leaving her on full display.

You thumbed at her nipples, watching the way Mitsuri  shuddered at your touch before taking one in your mouth, sucking. Mitsuri covered her mouth quickly, broken moans muffled as they slipped through the cracks. If she was having a hard time piping down now, you couldn’t wait to watch her struggle during the main event. You switched between sucking and nipping while your leg still worked under the water, never putting more pressure than needed. Your whole body worked in a steady pattern, never easing the pleasure you were giving- if you weren’t careful Mitsuri would come sooner than you wanted.

You pulled off her breast with a wet pop, marveling at the hot mess beneath, pressing harder against her clit. Your face landed in the valley between her breast, licking a trail up over the juncture of her neck, across faded marks from previous nights. Mitsuri’s eyes were screwed shut, she was biting her fingers so tightly in an effort to suppress her mewls that you were afraid it’d draw blood. In one swift motion, you pulled away completely, ceasing all movement. Mitsuri whined at the loss of your touch, her bulging eyes pleading. “Don’t worry baby,” you removed her hand kissing the palm lovingly, “you were so good for me, of course I’d let you cum” you pushed her wild strands back behind her ears, peppering her skin with kisses. “Could you sit up on the ledge for me please? I promise you’ll feel good”  you urged, placing the towel on the cold floor for her to sit on.

She nodded hazily, lifting herself out of the water and onto the towel. You growled at the sight of the water beads falling down her naked skin, her flushed cheeks filled you body with warmth- oh how you couldn’t wait to taste her. You gripped her legs, pulling them apart slowly, too slowly for Mitsuri’s liking. Your eyes bore into hers through wet lashes, biting at the supple flesh of her thick thighs. “Y/n please” she cried, her arms unsteadily holding herself off the ground. “Be patient baby girl, you know I just love this part” you mumbled against her inner thigh, the skin littered with bruises. You could smell her juices, close enough that your breath caused shivers to pass through her spine. Your index finger trailed her sopping slit, gathering her slick on your finger. “See? Beautiful.” you showed off her mess like it was some glistening prize, before bringing your finger past your lips.

Mitsuri couldn’t take much more of this teasing, she was desperate for anything. For you though, she would sit through hours of torturous teasing and that thought alone brought you face to face with her dripping pussy. “Baby you should lay down, your arms will get tired” you spoke caringly, your nose grazing her navel. She did as she was told, yelping at the sudden feel of your tongue prodding her hole. You pushed her lips apart, your tongue moving as far inside as possible, your nose bumping against her sensitive bud. Her delicate fingers held your hair, the others returning to her own mouth.You licked and stretched, drinking up as much of her as you could. “You’re delicious baby” your sultry voice rang, the muffled vibrations causing Mitsuri to clench around nothing.

You moved south, stuffing two digits into her soaked cavern; she winced in pain slightly. “It’ll only hurt for a minute baby” you consoled, your thumb rolled against her nub in hopes of distracting her from the dulling pain. You circled your lips around the quivering bud, tugging it gently. Mitsuri sobbed quietly, your fingers scissoring inside of her, just brushing that special spot she yearned for you to touch. You were relentless; edging her closer to her release with each swirl and thrust.

You couldn’t help but giggle at the girl writhing on the stone floor in front of you.. Her face was flushed and her brows knitted tightly in ecstasy, sweat mingled with the drying water that cascaded down her milky skin. Her knotted tresses sprawled out on the floor, while her own manicured tips gripped your roots yanking from time to time- Mitsuri’s fucked out image was stunning.

Swiftly, you hoist her legs over your shoulders, the new angle giving you easy access to her g-spot, ready to abuse. Mitsuri’s muscles constricted in a feeble attempt to keep herself from suffocating you- if you were going to die, there would be no better way then to be suffocated by your girlfriend. . “Go wild baby” your sinful smirk pushed her over her limit. Her moans sprunge free and breathy from her puffy parted lips, her eyes locked on your bobbing head as she held you in place with a firm grasp, feet digging into your shoulder blades. She came hard, a string of cries and stuttering “Y-Y/n”. You drank every drop of her salty-sweet slick, Mitsuri ground her hips against your face, riding out her climax.

You savored the lingering taste on your tongue, cleaning the glistening residue off your chin with the back of your hand only to wipe it away with your tongue. A shiver passed through your spin as the chill air tickled your damp body, clambering out of the heated water at last, slithering up Mitsuri’s spent body slouched against the stone. “You were so good for me baby” you smiled softly, petting her unruly hair. “It's the least I could do, you always treat me right my Love” she mumbled wearing an exhausted expression. You relished in the feel of your slippery, bare bodies pressed flush against each other for only a moment before moving to stand. “Wait.” Mitsuri moved to clutch your hand, “what about you?” she huffed wistful, round eyes. “Don’t worry about me princess, you’re body’s spent” you reached for a dry towel, engulfing Mitsuri’s shivering form in its warmth. “Besides, there’s always tomorrow” you baited with a seductive glare.

You woke up alone, Mitsuri’s flowery scent already fading from your shared space. You groaned, rubbing your sore knees, the rocks from last night really did a number on the tender skin. “Where is she?” you thought, scrambling out of the mess of bed sheet.

“Morning” you grumbled to the gaggle of Hashira’s, all baring a creepy knowing smile. You watched confused when Shinobu spoke up, “I heard you had a pleasant time in the springs last night” her eyes hiding something sinister. “Yes! We could hear all your gasping laughter from our side of the wall!” Rengoku added, sporting his own grin as Uzui’s wolfish laughter shook the room. “I’m going to find Mitsuri” you shouted exiting, “Oh she went to go shower, she said she was dirty” your face flushed- They fucking knew.

OH MY GODDDDDD YOUR GIYUSHINO LUNCH DATE FIC?!?!?!? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY AMAZINGGGGGGG. THANK YOU. so i just fell headfirst into this ship a few days ago (i saw the headlock clip & shinobu about to stab giyuu in the fucking FACE first and simply had to learn more abt them) and ive been trying to find content when lo and behold...i stumbled upon your magnificent fic. Every beat was perfect, the mostly contained confusion of giyuu's pov at shinobu's poking and his hidden but undeniable interest/care. The tightness of her smile at the sister mention, shinobu nerding out about insects & delivering poignant facts at the same time?!?!? I love love loved the other characters popping up & that giyuu, on shinobus encouragement, went to the canteen and was naturally absorbed into the fold like an amoeba (setting aside 2 grumpy bois ofc lolol). And then the fact that giyuu was the one who suggested the ramen shop, noticing that shinobu had a rough day....bruh my eyes are sweatingggg. God you do such a masterful job of showing us the emotions here, showing us how tho shinobu is more externally vocal with her interest/affection, giyuu reciprocates in his characteristic way. They feel fully formed and on equal footing, i ADORE your take on them. God i could rave on and on about this (giyuus understandable bafflement at workplace relationships! shinobu finding him on the rooftop! Her blue vs purple hair!!), but I'm worried abt tumblr word limit lolol. If you happen to create any giyushino in the future, rest assured i will be on it like a freaking rat up a kilt (lol sorry this is a random uk taskmaster reference). And if you don't feel inclined to do so, that is perfectly valid as well! I am just grateful for having the chance to read this delighful fic at all. My serotonin levels went out the fucking roof, all thanks to ur lovely work. 😆😆Thank you so so much for sharing your wonderful talents with us and have an AWESOME DAY!!❤❤

when i tell you the way my heart BURST after i saw this message😭

thank you so MUCH!!! this means the world to me!! this was my first hurrah into giyushino, and that would obv make anyone really nervous, so your message really made me so happy!!!!

i only fell for giyushino myself just a few months ago. something about them just suddenly CLICKED for me. their dynamic has always been really fun, but finding out that giyuu likes the different hashira based on whether they talk to him (😭) + that he & shinobu genuinely respect e/o and like talking to e/o (!!!) just made me go, "oh, i see. so that was all some weird form of flirting, wasn't it." HAHA. and then OFC i had to try writing it, too!! it was really fun!

i think giyuu is really adorable C: and, also, more inclined to making friends than people think. which impacted how i wrote him. not exactly gloomy, but just...confused about social cues, like you said. though shinobu really stole all the scenes, HAHA.

really, thank you x 10000 for this lovely message, it really made my whole day!!! you are just too sweet❤️
