[peachdues]

Ok chat, what do we think about her haori

[peachdues]

@selkiipon once again inspiring me to go back to drawing my girl because look how beautiful 😭

is she giving Sanemi the stink eye or comparing cup sizes??

[peachdues]

working on a uniform redesign for my OC, Setsuna. I haven’t drawn her Haori yet because I’m testing out different things to do with it.

Everything with a dark outline will be filled in/is a garment. Peep the last one to see how much the poor girl binds her chest 😭

[peachdues]

Forever thinking about @selkiipon ‘s rendition of my girl 😭🥺

(Don’t report this as NSFW the nips are covered!! MDNI!!)

[peachdues]

Hiiiiiii Peach .

Could you do a NSFW alphabet with Sanemi and Setsuna. It'd be so cute to see their intimate intentions and how they treat each other in bed and stuff.

Also I hope you're having a good October and that everything us well with you. I honestly wish you nothing but the best dear.

Xx

SOMEONE ASKING ABOUT SETSUNEMI??? HERE??? lamalakakalalsmnslsms i am starry-eyed right now!!

Tbh, Wind & Moon is Setsuna’s and Sanemi’s story — I’ve been writing it with Setsuna as the FMC, and I plan to search + replace all references to “Setsuna” with “you” when it comes time for publication alsnskaksma. In that sense, I can’t give much away without giving away key parts of the story/their relationship.

That said, if people are interested, I would share the smut scenes I *have* written for Sanemi and Setsuna — I guess that depends on whether people want to read “Setsuna” or still would rather see Sanemi x Reader, if that makes sense? Like, this is the best example:

So, yeah 😭 this is directly from Wind and Moon, just in its original form. If people want to see more, I’m cool with that! But if they’d rather read it from the x Reader POV, I get that.

All in all, I will give you some key takeaways to answer your ask:

Sanemi is a virgin in this. I deliberately leave open whether Setsuna/WAM!Reader is based on earlier events in the story, and I want people to draw their own conclusions

Because of said events earlier in the story, Setsuna is NOT open to missionary or doggy for a long, LONG time. Either she tops, they’re on their sides, or they’re standing/sitting, but her back is a big issue for her. They do eventually do it in missionary though (after one prior failed attempt).

She tends to be a little more focused on her movements during the deed than he is. Sanemi has more of the lost in the sauce/caught up in the emotion of the moment kind of vibe.

Both cry at various points during sex because both get overwhelmed by their feelies.

Sanemi is just as much of a pussy connoisseur in this as I’ve HC’ed him elsewhere — and he’s a VERY fast learner

The first time they kiss, they almost fuck — against a training pole at his estate. They get interrupted, and he tells begs her to meet him back at his estate later that night. She ends up shooting him down. Angst. But there are funnier bits/sweeter moments later on.

He’s incredibly gentle and patient with her at all times.

Finally, peep below for a bonus look at her turning his ass down that first time, if you’d like!

“Setsuna — wait —“

His fingers closed around her wrist, halting her. And though Setsuna did not resist him as he tugged her around to face him, she did not bridge the distance between them. She did not move to embrace him again.

With a shaky breath, she peered up at him through her eyelashes and beheld his anxious, pleading stare.

Sanemi’s eyes searched hers as though he already knew. “Don’t go.” He pled. “Stay —“

“I can’t.”

Sanemi stepped closer, his head bowing down toward hers until their foreheads nearly touched. “Why?”

“You know why.” She whispered.

He shook his head, his fingers gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear before caressing her cheek. “If you’re not ready, we can wait. As long as you need. I won’t push you — I’d never push you —“

It took everything she had not to melt into the comfort of his touch. “It’s not a matter of whether I’m ready, Sanemi. We can’t do this — you and I both know we can’t.”

Setsuna gets shaded first bc well..look at her

hey siri play “I just had sex” by the lonely island

[peachdues]

PEACHIEEEEE!!!!!!! i am here, i am sat, i have a notepad and pen, and i am ready to hear whatever you want to share about setsuna. favorite food? does she have a sweet tooth? does she prefer hot weather or cold weather? cats, dogs, both, or neither?

if you've thought about her in a modern au/context: what would her job be? would she go to college? would she have tattoos/piercings? if she had an aesthetic what would it be? would she drink coffee?

basically i wanna know everything skjghddkshg

Hehehe thank you, Fallon!! My angel fr.

Setsuna’s favorite foods — girl has a MASSIVE sweet tooth. Like huge. While she’s described as having a ✨hint✨ of abs, she doesn’t have any definition beyond her oblique line. Why?? Because she likes to eat and she likes sugar (and Mitsuri does NOT help this).

Traditional favorites include somen (chilled dip noodles), imagawayaki, and yatsuhashi. When she was Sanemi’s tsuguko, he did bring her onto ohagi, though she finds it a little messy. After Sanemi is fired as her teacher, she still buys ohagi on the DL and acts like she has no idea why smh.

Setsuna’s father was a well-known merchant who dealt heavily in Western goods, which was incredibly advantageous during the Taisho era. As a result, Setsuna also had access to western style sweets as a child and developed a taste for them! Her favorite are western style cakes and especially a lemon taffy her dad used to sneak her behind her mother’s back.

She and Mitsuri bond heavily over their love of food and often pig out together. Mitsuri treats Setsuna more as a live-in best friend than a tsuguko, and sometimes gets in trouble as a result 😭 even after Setsuna becomes a hashira, they frequently stay at one another’s estate’s!

Favorite weather — warmer, but not summer. She loves spring. Hates the snow/winter, but that has more to do with the events of the prologue for Wind and Moon than anything.

Animals — LOVES dogs, hates cats. This is where she and Mitsuri butt heads lmao. Mitsuri once caught her hissing back at a cat.

And some bonus factoids no one asked for:

She despises the fact she’s a demon slayer. She wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps and take over the family business. She is deeply unhappy to be in the role she’s in, and wishes she could leave/quit.

As her masters, both Sanemi and Mitsuri spoil her, in their own way. Sanemi because he lets her have a little free time every now and then and Mitsuri just pampers her.

The one year time skip in which she serves as Mitsuri’s tsuguko and ascends to hashira is the most healing for her. When Sanemi finally sees her again (after she becomes a Hashira) she is noticeably more at ease and smiles. He doesn’t know why that makes him feel embarrassed (yes he does lmao)

Hated her sword and honestly was overjoyed when it got blown to smithereens in the event that led to her being fired as Sanemi’s tsuguko. Doesn’t even care that it shattered her sword arm in the process, she was just so happy to be rid of it. Loves her naginata.

Speaking of Setsuna’s naginata — some say, if you look close enough at the hilt, you’ll see not just a small moon charm (she’s a lunar breath user so obviously) but also a charm that looks oddly similar to the Wind Hashira’s sword hilt….wonder what that’s about….

I’m still working on modern AU Setsuna, but Fallon!! Thank you for asking!! Feel free to talk more, I will gab about her nonstop.

[peachdues]

Setsuna is FINE omg. On a serious note, I’d love to hear more about her if you’d like to lore dump

ENHHH thank you, my angel!! She means everything to me!!!

And sure!! I will always yap about my beloved.

Setsuna’s new uniform design is meant to show her warring between modesty and wanting to own her sexuality. That’s why her uniform is full of contradictions — her shirt is open and her skirt is laughable, but she’s completely covered under both. One sock covers most of her leg while the other doesn’t. Her shoulders are exposed but her arms aren’t. She wears a very form-fitting uniform but covers herself with a larger haori.

All of it stems from what happened to her in the prologue of wind and moon. Like I said, I’m leaving it open to interpretation whether *Reader* is assaulted (and to what extent she was), but Setsuna was (even though they are the same to me lol). A great corner of her personality is trying to outwardly project this colder, confident and unflappable persona when she’s nothing like that deep on the inside. That’s also why she binds her chest and never lets anyone see her hair down — she doesn’t want to draw attention to her vulnerabilities. That she was a woman and defenseless at the time (because, as you’ll see, she’d been dragged back by a bear trap lodged in her back), is her biggest vulnerability at all.

Sanemi later becomes her biggest vulnerability and that’s evident in how often she’s unbound (her hair, her bindings (everything) around him.

Ayo show me your oc so i can try and make em in fashion dreamer

Here she is! The first pic is based off a reference I found on Pinterest — I wanted to test out a style closer to the kny illustration — I’m incredibly new at drawing, so I’m still trying to develop my own style!

This is Setsuna during her tsuguko days under Sanemi. She’s not been rendered yet and I’ve paused bc my iPad died. So this is incomplete lmao.

Her haori and her uniform are both courtesy of Sanemi. She changes however once she becomes a Hashira.

Here is her Hashira form (my style)

The main changes include her own haori, a shorter skirt, thigh high socks, an open shirt, and (most importantly) a weapon change.

She’ll also smile a lot more as a Hashira (once she gets a chance to heal a bit)

Hi Peachhhhh!

FIRST OF ALL i LOVE your work and everytime I see your posts i always get excited. especially when it's abt twatm or compass, they have my heart. you put sm thought and dedication into them ❤️ and it's truely just amazing and so inspiring.

BUT GIRL I NEEDDDDDD a little post about what the hashira think about setsuna ishikuro and what she thinks about each of them. not with thr official kyn background that the other ones have, ik you're busyyyy. just a short post. it'll be so cute to see what sanemi thinks of his little tsuguko !

thanks again girly for all your work. coming home from a day of work and seeing your post, whether it's your actual work or just replying to people's comments, honestly puts a smile on my face.

Omg bestie hi!! This ask is so dangerous because it sent me down a HOLE!!

Read below the cut for Setsuna’s opinion of the other Hashira/their opinion of her! Enjoy!

HOW ISHIKURO SETSUNA VIEWS THE OTHER PILLARS

The Sound Pillar— smug face that would make good target practice for a fist. Still hasn’t learned to keep his mouth shut. Decent fighter. (Still on her shit list).

The Stone Pillar: I don’t know him that well, but I respect him and his strength.

The Insect Pillar: we’ve gotten closer since I became a Hashira, and I’m glad for it. She’s shrewd and insightful in many ways, but she can be a little aloof when it comes to matters of the heart. Hardworking and exceedingly clever. Stronger than she looks.

The Wind Pillar: I respect him now just as much as I did when he was my master. Our breathing styles just didn’t mix well, but that wasn’t his fault. He was a good teacher, and he was able to handle my rage better than anyone. I trust him the most. …. I feel flustered when he looks at me.

The Love Pillar: I adore her. A little over-indulgent as a teacher and we probably deserved to get in more trouble than we did, but she’s the very best among friends. She used her experiences developing love breathing to help me get control over Lunar Breathing. Her command over her sword is something to admire.

The Water Pillar: who?

The Flame Pillar: good natured and encouraging. I see where Mitsuri gets it from. Very honorable. He’s a man I would trust the most, after the Wind Pillar.

The Serpent Pillar: he keeps his distance but I believe it’s out of respect, and I’m grateful for it. He frequented the Love Pillar’s estate for meals quite often while I was there.

HOW THE OTHER HASHIRA VIEW ISHIKURO SETSUNA

The Sound Pillar: Flamboyant when she fights. Sharp-tongued. Looks like Shinazugawa when she scowls. I still stand by my earlier comment, though I won’t say it out loud anymore.

The Stone Pillar: remarkably more at ease than when she first joined the Corps. Her outward confidence tends to mask her shy and gentle heart. She returns the Wind Pillar’s strong feelings.

The Insect Pillar: she is still haunted by her past, but she smiles more easily now. I enjoy her company. She’s become a good friend.

The Wind Pillar: she’s grown into her role as the Lunar Hashira very well. We spar often. I look forward to our meetings. Still as stubborn as she was as a tsuguko, but her rebellious streak seems to have flamed out. I think time with the Love Pillar was good for her. Strong and capable, but I still worry for her. …. she looks good.

The Love Pillar: my dearest friend! The best tsuguko a girl could ask for! She was a fast learner and a total softie once her shell cracked! As beautiful as the moon, and I admire her deeply!

The Water Pillar: i haven’t talked to her much. She once forgot we’d already been introduced.

The Flame Pillar: a worthy heir to the lunar breath clan! Powerful with her techniques and her weapon is magnificent!

The Serpent Pillar: I tend to stay away because of what the Wind Pillar said, but she’s quite strong and seems to have progressed well under the Love Pillar. She has my respect.

BONUS!

The Stone Pillar on the Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa: He possesses a strong will and is honest at heart. He’s a bashful person. He is in love with the Lunar Pillar.

Thank you so much for your kind ask!! I enjoyed this so much omg
