if u make a lot of OCs that u get emotionally invested in, it's vital u have a friend who's really into The Mountain Goats, or become this friend urself. they have a million niche songs about any emotion or situation under the sun, there's always at least one song that can fit on a playlist if u kno where to look for it. there's nothing like telling my friend about my incredibly specific new OC and then a few days later I get "here's a song from the mountain goat's 1994 album about the Roman empire" and the lyrics were ghost written by ur own blorbo somehow

You can watch this animatic with the music in my Tiktok! (hope this link works)

I was originally going to do the whole chorus, but then realized that it would be way too much for me.

You know what ruins me ?

The sibling bonds in demon slayer.

Usually i think about the shinazugawa siblings but NO. IM TALKING ABOUT THE KAMADOS TODAY

Imagine the pain of having to watch your sibling go through it time and time again just to protect you ? And the worst part is that it's applied both ways. Well it's not the worst because I think demon slayer is so good at showing what lengths you would go for your loved ones.

What takes me out every sing darn time is the first time tanjirou is trying to save nezuko. Imagine, he was walking home after a typical day, and a night spent away from his family, completely unassuming of what his neighbour had unintentionally saved him from.

That is, until he smells blood. Imagine the fear that makes his heart, his heart that has been raised to love and care, drop and ache with paranoia.

And then he's met with the horrible sight of nezuko, his closest sibling, resting in a pool of her own blood that stains everything, from her hair, to her face, to her clothes, to the child in her arms, to the snow that they lie one, to the snow that falls gently on them. His soul is already grieving despite the fact that all he feels is despair and confusion .

And demon slayer does a really good job at conveying that hurt and panic through they way they animated the scene:

And nothing is said, tanjirou just screams, devastated by the scene in front of him. What does he do ?

He must've felt the world just crashing around him as all that matters to him is taken away in the most cruel way possible.

As an older sibling, I can't even fathom the idea of losing my younger brother. Granted, he's not that young anymore. He's always going to be a baby to me. So when I first saw this scene, all I could imagine was the heartbreak tanjirou must feel. As well as the feelings of failure as he wasn't even there to protect his siblings.

THE PAIN DOESNT EVEN STOP THERE GUYS.

I think it's common knowledge that tajirous first reaction to his whole family being slaughtered isn't instant tears. It's just shock and disbelief that something so horrific has happened to him.

Even after he's processed that, his second reaction is to check if anyone is still alive. Which to me is just

BECAUSE HOW ELSE WOULD HE KNOW THAT NEZUKO IS STILL WARM ? HOW WOULD HE KNOW THAT NEZUKO IS THE ONLY ONE THATS WARM ???

imagine the rush of adrenaline his body gets when he realises that nezuko could still be alive ? Once again, Ufotable delivers with the portrayal of this as you can see it tanjirou's body language. The way nezuko has been hastily wrapped up to preserve as much of the little body heat she's still producing. The way tanjirou is moving as fast as he can as a 13 year old kid with another 12 year old on top of him. The way he literally says that his lungs feel on fire but he keeps pushing on because it's his little sister.

It's heart breaking.

Guys the kamado siblings actually have me in a clutch. They care so much for each other that it's so cute but devastating at the same time. I think this is one of the main reasons why I think that nezuko is the sole reason as to why tanjirou hasn't gone fully insane yet.

I mean, the guy sees ghosts at like every corner, but he doesn't even bat an eye. He has two very loud and hyper friends that he's constantly surrounded with. And a breathing technique literally no one has seen in a thousand years. And he questions none of it bruh, his sister is in his backpack. He's fine. There's literally nothing to worry about. lmao tanjirou is so funny for that *sighs sadly

tanjirou's grief is lowkey overlooked sometimes. It's cute that nezuko and tanjirou care for each other but it's also so sad to me as to why they are so close.

I recently told an ao3 writer that I keep going back to their 260k word unfinished slowburn checking for updates for the last 2 years. They said I'm like that puppy that waits for his dead owner at the train station every day.

That's the realest thing anyone's told me online, I ain't even mad.

still getting used to drawing tablet

( click below for my yaps)

YAOI!!!! Ur awesome for clicking to see more yap.

Anyways this was inspired by this comment I made with oomf

And I’ve been thinking about it nonstop since… so I drew them rlly close because I tried to include the smoking but I couldn’t figure out how to include the hand without making it look awkward so I just removed it and made it more intimate or whatever,, IDK IT WORKS DOR ME

I’m using Krita because I’m broke and can’t afford subscription drawing programs and I don’t even know if that program has blending,,, I’ll look it up when I get home

And I even implemented the smoking bit into an RP, that’s how bad it is,,,,

Anyways I love me my yaoi on fire (as opposed to YURI ON ICE) and and yeah

Natsuo has nightmares.

Not memories as far as he knows, A old dream that grew up with him since that day.

Little one shot bellow. (Short as heck)

He is nine, His older brother is gone, Touya is gone, he won't be coming home, His body was never found, There's only a picture. He looks so dumb there, why was he so mad on the photo day? Natsuo doesn't remember well, He couldn't help but sob a little.

Maybe he should have complained less of the late night visits, But what he could do if Touya was sad?

What he wouldn't do to see him again?

(...)

It's Touya birthday, he isn't here, the kitchen table is empty where should have fifteen candles and a cake. He hasn't come home, never will.

maybe he is playing hide and seek and he just has to search around for longer than anyone! He doesn't mind the looks Fuyumi gives him

No one let's him go outside today.

He falls asleep in the kitchen floor, That night he dreams, Touya is here again, calling him for dinner, Mom made soup, he doesn't like all the veggies, He eats anyway, Touya is besides him. They're talking, Here, okay, fine.

Maybe it was all a bad dream.

He wakes up. Touya is ____

Gone.

...Maybe if he goes to sleep again? Such a nice dream.

(...)

Mom is gone. Sick Dad said.

He still sees her once every year, maybe that's good, he won't tell anyone though, That would make Fuyumi and Shouto jealous! Wouldn't it?

His chest hurts a bit more when he wakes up in the morning.

(...)

Natsuo is twenty, It's Touya's birthday, He doesn't sleep, not at all, His eyes ache, been burning for a while. Burning, what a strange thing to say

He is tired, did Fuyumi turn on the lights?

He looks up, Touya gives him a hand up. Invites him to the table, eyes narrowing as he refuses to stand up right away.

Why would he? He knows.

It's nightmare.

Touya is dead.
