This this this ALL OF THIS 🙌🫶👏

a significant percentage of this fandom is so homophobic or at least is weird when it comes to queer ships, im surprised that more people aren't talking about it. people go out of their way to hate on a cute gay ship (probably shinomitsu, sanegiyuu, kananezu) because "it makes no sense" or "one of the characters is canonically with someone else". for example, i was on pinterest and saw this one panel of sanemi and giyuu eating together after the final battle.

this was it. no text. nothing. it was just a panel and it had nothing to do with the ship. yet somehow, most the comments were yapping about how this was the worst ship on planet earth and how its shippers are delusional which is so... weird? and im not even that much of a sanegiyuu shipper. if literally one panel of the characters sitting next to each other is enough to trigger your hatred towards their ship, something is very wrong in my opinion. if you're like this, dni and block me. lots of people unironically believe that queer ppl are more privileged in this fandom because gay ships happen to be more popular which is the most chronically online take I have ever come across because usually, it's the other way around. sabigiyuu has been getting hate for years because "it's minor x adult" even though all sabigiyuu shippers ship both sabito and giyuu as teenagers or adults yet I have never seen anyone say the same thing about sanekana. kanae died as a minor and sanemi is currently 21 so why is no one saying anything about them? "she would have been the same age as sanemi if she lived" sabito also would have been as old as giyuu if he lived so why is one getting so much hate for being a "proship" while the other automatically gets a pass? (sabigiyuu hate is NOT valid on this page)

disliking a ship is one thing and hating a ship that happens to be queer will not make you homophobic but going out of your way to comment about how much you hate the ship on content that's clearly targeted towards the shippers is dumb and sometimes is rooted in homophobia. don't go on a sanegiyuu fan art and comment how it doesn't make sense and expect people to side with you. a shinomitsu fan art will not kill you and am saying this as someone who doesn't even like the ship. people often hate this ship under the guise that "mitsuri is in love with obanai" or "they don't have many scenes together". obamitsu is canon, yes, but this doesn't mean that if someone dislikes the ship or ships another ships involving the two should automatically be arrested. and keep in mind that they're canonically best friends and they have interactions in the light novels which are honestly beautiful. shinomitsu shippers, ily.

"the ship doesn't make sense" ships don't have to and never had to make sense for them. shipping in engraved in fandom culture and people always will ship whatever they want. most of the fanon ships some of you hate on actually do have interactions and chemistry and even if it doesn't, you should still be respectful and stop acting so damn childishly. istg some people will BURN if they visit any other fandom because rareships are much more common out there. mate, what do you mean sanemi x obanai is a rareship? do you even know what a rareship actually is? and sorry but most of these queer ships usually have more chemistry than the canon ones too so stop whining. muitan, for example, has more chemistry than inoaoi or tankana (no hate towards the ships) even though it's fanon and the other two are canon so guess what? more people will ship them.

"people were homophobic in the taisho era" one, there is a canonically bi and aroace character. two, this is straight up false information. three, the show consists of swordsmen working behind the government's back and demons. what makes you think they give a shit about the people around them being homophobic?

honestly some of yalls excuses are stupid too. honorary mention but I saw someone hate on kananezu because kanao is married to tanjiro and that she and nezuko are sisters which means that the ship is, you guessed it, fucking incest. holy shit, we're losing the plot so bad.

conclusion: don't be homophobic. yay!!! (please let people ship queer ships in god damned peace without arguing about their ship is stupid or trash and that they're delusional for even liking it in the first place. trust me when I tell you that you writing "THIS IS SO TRASH" on a ship post will NOT stop the shippers from liking the ship)

Google docs isn’t deleting your docs just because they have lewd text.

OP turned off reblogs of the post due to being debunked, but here’s a link of the reblog so you can still read stuff. Hate Google all you want but misinformation helps no one.

If you do not make a follow up for "Break My Heart Again" where Sanemi and Giyu reconcile and buy pancakes together, I'm going to write it with my own hands (jokes aside, I really love your work. I read it a thousand more times than I would like to admit)

Anon! They're going to reconcile, I swear! I have a plan, it's on the list to be written, don't worry! I'm so sorry for the wait.

Thank you, though, your message really made me day (and gave me a kick of motivation!) - I hope you have a wonderful day too!

Sanemi wound his arms around Giyuu’s waist, holding him closer. “No one gets to tell us who to love, Giyuu,” he murmured against Giyuu’s shoulder before kissing a path up the side of his neck. He pressed his forehead to Giyuu’s temple. “They don’t get to choose for us.”

“Not even the universe?” Giyuu joked quietly. “Not even the goddamn universe,” he returned. -- Sanemi & Giyuu were never meant to fall in love, each of their souls bound to another and lost to tragedy. The expectations of a society where soulmarks are destiny were never enough to stop them from choosing each other anyway.

‘I’m only going to close my eyes for a minute,’

Famous last words, Sanemi thought as he listened to the deep, steady breathing of the man lying on the engawa beside him, curled on his side with his head resting near Sanemi’s leg. He must have slept poorly last night. The nightmares, maybe. Or his arm again. Sanemi thinks he should ask when Giyuu wakes up. But for now… Oh well, Sanemi sighs. If Giyuu needs to sleep, then let him sleep. Sanemi doesn’t mind the quiet, and it’s enough to be in Giyuu’s company, even if that company is dead to the world. 

He sips his tea, glancing down at Giyuu again. He smiles at the relaxation on his face, absent the man's familiar reserve. Only Giyuu could make sleeping look more alive than being conscious. Although truthfully, Giyuu hasn't been so cold lately. And things between them are...good. More than good. Sanemi tilts his head as he looks at Giyuu, tracing the lines of his features. The sun shines off his pale skin, warming it, and his hair is as glossy black as raven’s wings, falling into his eyes. Sanemi’s fingers twitch, and before he thinks better of it, gives in to the urge to reach out and brush Giyuu’s hair off his forehead, tucking it behind his ear. It’s soft under his fingers, and the quiet touch does nothing to disturb Giyuu. So he lets his hand run through it once more, just to see how it feels threaded through his fingers, and his heart beats a little harder.  

Someone clears their throat, and Sanemi yanks his hand away as though Giyuu’s hair suddenly burned him, eyes flying wide as he looks up and sees Tengen standing in the open doorway to the mansion.  

“I hope I’m not interrupting,” he says, and there’s a tease in his voice, but his expression is soft, his good eye glancing between Sanemi and his sleeping companion with what seems like understanding. Sanemi feels a flush creep onto his face.  

“Uzui,” Sanemi clears his throat, “No, we were just…” Sanemi looks down at Giyuu’s sleeping form at his side. “He fell asleep,” he finishes lamely. As if that much weren’t obvious.

“Mind if I keep you company until he wakes up?” Tengen asks, sweeping his hair out of his face with his hand. 

“No, that’s fine. You can have Tomioka’s cup, he fell asleep before he used it,” Sanemi gestures at the tray carrying the tea and the untouched cup.

Tengen nods his thanks and folds himself to the engawa. 

“Why are you here?” Sanemi asks. He tries to keep his eyes off of Giyuu, tries to keep his hand in his lap. It's harder than it should be. 

“Do I need a reason to visit my friends?” Tengen chuckles, then says, “I confess, I expected I’d be visiting you each separately.” 

“Well…we…” Sanemi scrambles for an explanation. “I mean. It’s just us a lot of the time. There’s not a lot to do around here, and—” 

“Shinazugawa,” Tengen interrupts, pouring the tea into his cup. He glances up, his jeweled eye patch glinting in the sunlight, the fuchsia of his remaining eye glimmering with amusement. “You don’t owe me an explanation for who you spend your time with, or how.”

Sanemi relaxes, and nods. They spend the next hour catching up. Sanemi tells him how his recovery is going, but mostly Tengen talking about what he’s been spending his time doing, how he and his wives have been pursuing a business in fashion of all things, and how Hinatsuru is expecting. Imagining Tengen as a father is a strange image, but somehow it works, and Sanemi is happy for him.

Sanemi isn’t sure when in the course of the conversation his hand ends up back in Giyuu’s hair, idly smoothing the ebony locks as they chat. He doesn’t even really realize that he’s doing it until Tengen sighs contentedly and asks, “So you and Tomioka, huh?” He leans back on his hand, and calls to the sky, “You owe me a drink, Kyojuro!” 

Freezing, Sanemi’s first instinct is to deny the claim, despite the evidence that is in plain sight. But… He likes the way that Giyuu’s hair feels beneath his fingers. He likes the way that the man smiles at him lately. He likes the time they spend together, and he likes the lingering glances and the quiet touches and the soft words. He likes the way Giyuu makes his skin warm and his heart beat. He likes the way that being with him makes the pain of losing everything else hurt less.

And really, does it matter so much if Tengen knows? 

So…he doesn’t deny it. Despite the way he feels his cheeks burning. Despite the embarrassment that makes his voice catch in his throat. Despite the fear that Tengen wouldn’t truly understand, except—

“Wait. You…made a bet with Kyojuro…?” Sanemi asks slowly.

Tengen laughs outright. “Shinazugawa, if you could have seen the way you looked when you sparred with Tomioka back then, you would have taken that bet too.” 

Sanemi gapes, gesturing at Giyuu’s sleeping form. “I hated him, Uzui.” 

“Did you?” Tengen chuckles. 

“Yes,” Sanemi insists, "Or, I mean, I thought I did." 

With a shrug, Tengen says, “The line between love and hate is a razor’s edge, I guess. Kyojuro thought you’d never figure it out. I disagreed.” He looks at Sanemi and smiles warmly. “I’m happy for you.” 

Sanemi looks down at Giyuu again, watches the way his eyelashes flutter and his lips gently lift, and Sanemi thinks he must be dreaming something nice. Affection swirls through him in warm eddies and twisting whirls. Maybe he had always been drawn to Giyuu in some way... Maybe he just didn't recognize it for what it was back then. He scoffs lightly. Shit, he hates that Tengen was right. The man doesn't need anything else to inflate his ego. But looking at Giyuu now, Sanemi can't care about that.

He feels a fond smile pull at his features, and his voice is gentle when he quietly admits to Tengen, “I’m happy too.”

Ough. This is my worst performing fic I have ever posted for kny 😂 I guess people don't like tragic romance and unhappy endings. But ya know what? I tagged it. So I shan't claim the blame. You clicked on it people, what did you think was gonna happen!

Maybe it was always going to end up this way, Sanemi thought as he watched Giyuu meticulously do up the buttons on his shirt. He could still see the rich bloom of maroon across his chest, right over his heart, a match to the array of marks like rose petals scattered across his throat and the back of his neck. Marks. Evidence that Tomioka Giyuu had a heart. Or so Sanemi had thought until… This was a mistake.

Sanemi really should have known better.

I've never written SaneGiyuu with a sad ending until now. So much angst. All the hurt, none of the comfort. Two broken hearts. This fic is torturous. I'm in pain. I'm gonna have to write copious amounts of fluff after this. I may never recover.

Sanemi Loves Giyuu Because He Reminds Him of Kanae

*Siiiiiiighhhh*

I have seen this theory posited one too many times, and I finally have to gently and lovingly tell anyone who will listen that it is just nonsensical bullshit.

To anyone who has ever thought/felt/argued this point: WDYM!? They both have....black hair? Because, truly, that is where any comparison between them ends. (And, in case we forgot, KNY takes places in Japan. Do you know how many people in Japan have black hair? The Hashira and Kamabokos are like a bunch of freakish outliers in terms of hair color.) So if we dismiss hair color, what else is there? They are different genders, different body types, different eyes, different skin tones - Surely we can all agree that Sanemi is NOT attracted to them both on the basis of a physical resemblance.

So what about personalities?

Kanae was gentle and soft and warm. She was kind-hearted and easy-going. She almost always had a smile on her face. She was friendly with everyone. She (with, perhaps, delusional optimism) had a dream of one-day living peacefully alongside demons.

...Does any of that sound like Giyuu Tomioka?

Giyuu who never smiles? Giyuu who, when he deigns to speak at all, speaks with callous dismissal and a sprinkle of sass? Giyuu who has exactly ZERO friends, is difficult to work with, and is beset by crippling self-doubt?

Kanae and Giyuu could not be more different. There is absolutely no way, none whatsoever, that Sanemi Shinazugawa looks at Giyuu and sees Kanae. If he does, it is only, perhaps, in a moment of nostalgia because the emotion he feels for both of them is love.

All of that assumes that Sanemi did, in fact, love Kanae AND Giyuu.

But, alas, I just find that impossible to buy into. Sanemi Did Not Love Kanae Romantically. Now, I want to preface this next bit with telling you that I have nothing against SaneKana as a fan ship. It has aesthetic appeal, and in full disclosure, I was a SaneKana shipper before I saw the light discovered SaneGiyuu. I do, however, take issue with anyone who claims on any level whatsoever that SaneKana was canon.

The piece of evidence people always point to when they claim that Sanemi loved Kanae is Gyomei the Tea Hashira's assessment of his fellow Hashira in the fanbook where he says of Sanemi: He seems to like Kanae.

And then the claim is supported on Sanemi's page when he says that he talks to Shinobu every now and then because she was Kanae's sister.

I cannot stress enough how mediocre that is as evidence. "Like" is such an ambiguous word. I LIKE a lot of people that I don't want to date/marry/shag. Sanemi also "Likes" Kyojuro. In another translation of the same page, it says on Obanai's section that he "Likes" Obanai best of all. No one is trying to claim that SaneRen and SaneOba are canon ships. If the statements were backed up by canon evidence for SaneKana then I could see it, but someone tell me, where is the evidence?

In the Manga, they have ONE interaction, and that is Kanae gently berating Sanemi for his outburst at his first Hashira Meeting.

In the Light Novels, they also have ONE interaction, and do you know how it goes...? Sanemi thinks about his mom. Guys. Guys. Sanemi did not have a crush on Kanae. He just was reminded of his mom by her gentle nature and her warm hands. When she is bandaging him up, there is no romantic tension, no eyes meeting or fleeting touches or little moments that indicate attraction. Sanemi gets totally distracted and lost in his own thoughts of his mother (until Kanae mentions the person there is an actual argument to be made for him having a crush on, Masachika.)

The Light Novel also makes it pretty clear imo that Sanemi has no interest in women at all. Now you could argue he just isn't interested in romance, full stop, but frankly, I think it is more likely that Sanemi just has crushes on boys, not girls.

Now that that's all said and done... You know else gets the "A likes B because they remind them of C" treatment? Giyuu, Sabito and Sanemi! I'll be giving Giyuu and Sabito a whole post of their own soon, so keep an eye out for it if you like <3 :)

So there you have it. Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!

(disclaimer in case it wasn't clear enough: I am not claiming that Sanemi canonically loves Giyuu or Masachika either. I'm just addressing the dynamic crossroads these fan ships too often find themselves in.)

[hello-my-name-is-aves]

Sorry long post incoming,

Sanegiyuu doesn't qualify as a toxic relationship because there's already a foundation of trust and respect between them. Toxic relationships lack that because one or both parties view the other as an object or an idealized concept rather than a person.

Sanemi is the opposite of that. He wants to see the real Giyuu, he's willing to put aside whatever assumptions he had about him in order to develop a closer relationship with him. The only problem is his lack of patience which comes off as aggression. Which isn't really his fault, asides from being through literal shit, he comes from a poor background and had to navigate the world alone without anyone to properly raise him.

There are real people like this, who grew up in hellish places and have developed a tough personality as a result because that was how they could survive. He's rough, but he means well and he's trying which can't be said about a lot of people.

I'm not going to touch on Giyuu because I'm pretty sure that 'sanegiyuu is a toxic ship' OP is putting a lot of the 'toxic' aspects of the ships on Sanemi like a lot of people do. Which is so funny because people always say they support mental health but only when it's palatable, you put up hashtags about supporting people going through hardships and literal wars without even bothering to read up on the lifelong effects it has on them. People like Sanemi are a result of these situations.

Yes Sanemi can be an asshole, and he tried to blind his brother in a misguided attempt to 'save' him, but he's also a (literally) scarred, traumatized boy who was given nothing and lost everything. Just like a lot of people in real life who are beaten down and alone, just trying to make the best with what they've got. The same goes for Giyuu too!

I won't speak for everyone but THAT'S what I see in sanegiyuu; two lonely souls who've been through similar experiences and shared trauma finding each other and making it work despite their emotional hangups and communication handicaps. It's painfully realistic, and so human, and it's a shame you can't see that but oh well.

Sorry for the long post again 🙏

Confession 47.

[hello-my-name-is-aves]

If I had anything resembling patience, I would write a Canonverse, Canon Divergent Friends-to-Lovers Ultra slow burn AU where Sanemi and Giyuu met at 13 Years Old and became inseperable.

Alas, patience is no friend of mine, so this one will have to stay in the recurring daydream file of my brain.
