“La la La~ Da da da~ Da da~ La de da~” Douma twirled about the room, across his shoulders sat the fluffiest looking snake Rui had ever seen in his life. Though, it wasn’t a snake- not really.

“Her lips were red, her skin the moon, when she turned to me, oh how I swooned~” Douma sang out, leaning back dramatically and pulling the fluffy snake closer to him. “I wished her to be my bride, but alas I was blind! For she-”

“Douma.” Rui spoke up, his curiosity getting the better of him. “What is that?”

Douma looked over, starting out of his song. Then he smiled, making his way over. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled the snake across Rui’s shoulders, giving it a shake. “Why this? This is my feather boa! I got it from one of my followers. Lovely, isn’t it?”

Rui scrunched up as the fluffy garment tickled along his ears and neck, a soft giggle escaping his lips. “It’s tickly.”

“Is it now?” Douma seemed to glow with mischief as he wiggled the boa some more, earning even more soft giggles from the spider demon. “Soft to the touch and able to make you laugh? I’m glad to have been given such a prize!”

“Given what now?” Kokushibou asked in the background, brows furrowing as he watched Douma pull the fluffy garment back over his own shoulders. “What in the world is that?”

“A feather boa! A gift.” Douma struck a pose, shimmying his shoulders to make the fluff dance. “Do you love it?”

“I’m…unsure.” Kokushibou’s eyes narrowed in suspicion as he watched Douma wiggle up to him. Taking in the hot pink material and the glittery ends, he blinked slowly. “It’s…unique.”

“I’ll take that in a good way!” Douma stretched out a hand, wiggling the end of the boa into the taller demon’s face. “I feel something being awakened in me. It’s as if my past self was a theater performer and he wants to come out.”

Douma did a quick number as he twirled around Kokushibou, flicking the boa with him as he hummed another tune. When he was before him once again, he pulled the boa over the taller demon, yanking him forward so they were chest to chest. “Would you like to be my partner, Koku?”

“I think I’ll pass. Dancing isn’t my thing.” Kokushibou tried to ease the other away, but Douma only pulled him closer, smiling deviously. “Douma- please release me.”

“Dance with me first.” He brought the Boa up so it hung around Koku’s shoulders, giving it a fluff and making the taller demon scrunch some. “I’ve always wanted to waltz with you.”

“Ew, Douma and Koku are flirting.” Akaza mock groaned as he came in, taking Rui’s hand. “Come on, Spidey-squirt; let’s go find your dreamer companion.”

“Wait-” Kokushibou went to call out, but the word caught in his throat when the boa scurried along his skin, brushing his ears and shoulders. “Douma-heegh! Pleahehase!”

“Hmm, what’s so funny?” The blonde grinned, gathering both ends of the Boa with one hand and pulling gently, letting his hand push past the folds of Kokushibou’s Yukata to get his ribs. “Tell me~”

Kokushibou stammered before doubling over, fighting down the giggles as he held onto Douma’s shoulders. “D-Douma! E-enohoohough!” His laughter was rich and deep, shaking them both with the force he was suppressing them with.

“Let it out, Koku~”

And let it out he finally did. Giving into Douma’s antics, he let himself relax into his arms, barely fighting back as the blonde skittered his fingers up and down his side with gentle touches. “Ahehahahahahha! Yoohoohoohohu’re a peehhehehrsueahahhahahasive ohoohoohohne!”

“And you’re quite handsome when you laugh.” Douma grinned, pulling the Boa back up so it rested against his shoulders, freeing his hands. Bringing them up, he wrapped them around Kokushibou’s neck, standing up on his toes so he could press a kiss against his smiling mouth. “Hi.”

“Hello there.” Kokushibou replied, lips twitching.

“Dance with me?” Douma asked again, waggling his brows. The six eyed demon sighed before taking his waist, steadying them both.

“If you insist.” As he began to lead, the sound of strummed music filled the room. Nakime was somewhere nearby. “How long-”

“Eyes on me.” Douma demanded softly, turning Koku’s chin back so they were watching eachother once more. If he had eyebrows, Koku would be raising them high at Douma’s boldness. “For this song and the next, you’re mine and mine alone.”

“So demanding.” Kokushibou tsked, even as he let himself follow the soothing beat of Nakime’s tune, guiding Douma around the room with ease.

“It’s the boa. Gives me powers.” Douma shimmied his shoulders, making the material flutter and shake with him. 

“Those being?”

“The power to make handsome demons with six eyes and long hair fall in love with me.” Douam smiled, all teeth. Kokushibou let out a huff of a laugh.

“You don’t need a boa to do that.” He reached out, taking Douma’s chin in his hand with a quirk of his lips. “You’ve had me for a long, long time.”

Thanks for reading!

Worm Moon

by Mary Oliver

1.

In March the earth remembers its own name. Everywhere the plates of snow are cracking. The rivers begin to sing. In the sky the winter stars are sliding away; new stars appear as, later, small blades of grain will shine in the dark fields.

And the name of every place is joyful.

2.

The season of curiosity is everlasting and the hour for adventure never ends, but tonight even the men who walked upon the moon are lying content by open windows where the winds are sweeping over the fields, over water, over the naked earth, into villages, and lonely country houses, and the vast cities

3.

because it is spring; because once more the moon and the earth are eloping — a love match that will bring forth fantastic children who will learn to stand, walk, and finally run over the surface of the earth; who will believe, for years, that everything is possible.

4.

Born of clay, how shall a man be holy; born of water, how shall a man visit the stars; born of the seasons, how shall a man live forever?

5.

Soon the child of the red-spotted newt, the eft, will enter his life from the tiny egg. On his delicate legs he will run through the valleys of moss down to the leaf mold by the streams, where lately white snow lay upon the earth like a deep and lustrous blanket of moon-fire,

6.

and probably everything is possible.

Dear Bunny,

you have always been brave and bold and strong and oh so beautiful and kind and generous and excited and so full of life and that's why I love you. I love you for everything you are, everything you were and everything you are becoming.

365 days ago, with 10 seconds of insane courage, i sent you a text: “have you ever slowly fallen in love with someone, knowing you cannot love them….?” and for the next 30 mins at 7pm on a Tuesday afternoon we danced around our supposed unrequited or unattainable love for each other until you sent, with 10 seconds of insane outage, “i love you, i think i always have.” the next day i saw you and don't think i have ever felt more ok than the moment you hugged me and i said “are we going to try this?” and you said “i think we should”. thank you for this chapter of our lives (with many more to come); this chapter called learning to love and be loved.

i used to be scared and uncertain but I'm not scared anymore. and I'll love you until you're not scared anymore.

I know that my love is often that soft and quiet, when you love me so loudly and boldly, but know this: loving you is like breathing— necessary and completely natural. you are my constant, my rising sun in the morning. my life partner. I choose you now and for as long as my soul lives.

no more dancing around truths: i love you with my whole heart. cheers to us and plenty more sunrises to come.

Bee <3

The beauty of the moon is often overlooked when you are so busy with life.

Hmmm, 12 Moons sounds like an interesting sci-fi movie, directed by the Soska Sisters.

hot take ??

the only reason people say that "mafuyu and tsukasa have nothing in common" when presented with mafukasa parallels is because they equate mafuyu and tsukasa being similar to "tsukasa has depression" because the fandom equates mafuyu's personality to being depressed and nothing else.

it doesn't help that people (primarily younger people in the fandom) who DO believe in mafukasa parallels end up making the mistake of portraying tsukasa as depressed because as of right now he is not (although it's possible he was in past because of his Very Unclear Middle School Backstory but that's irrelevant)

anyways, mafuyu and tsukasa are narrative foils because their core personalities are built off of the concept of wanting to make the people around them— especially their families— happy.

they both developed personalities at a young age based on someone they looked up to. for tsukasa, it was seiichi amami's performance that inspired him to be a star— a hero that could cheer anyone up. for mafuyu, it was her mother taking care of her that inspired her to be a nurse— and you can see the similarities from there.

for mafuyu, her identity would first come into conflict when her mother expressed her want for mafuyu to be a doctor— suddenly, "everyone's" happiness didn't match what she wanted to do, leaving her in a state of disorder and eventual depression.

for tsukasa, his identity was something he nearly forgot in its entirety at the start of the main story— becoming arrogant and fully absorbed in a hero persona, forgetting the kind person he truly is. furthermore, his current character arc seems to be foreshadowing that what "being a star" to him is going to be called into question— maybe it is something more than just being the main character that saves everyone.

their insecurities are incredibly similar.

in mafuyu's first mixed, mafuyu feels insecure towards ichika because unlike ichika, she feels as if her lyrics have no genuine meaning to be expressed to other people— despite them being her very real feelings. this is brought up again in her second mixed as well.

in tsukasa's third focus event, something similar happens. when watching seiichi's performance, he thinks that his acting is "real" and feels inferior towards him, which is ironic because tsukasa has been method acting this whole time. when tsukasa is acting out rio or bartlett or really anyone at this point in the story, it's not just those characters— it's a reflection of his traumas.

just like mafuyu, tsukasa undermines his passions he's poured his feelings into because someone else's work is more genuine in his eyes.

now, then, foils have many similarities and parallels (and i could honestly list a lot more), but how i define them is that they usually have some kind of major branching difference that MAKES them foils.

for mafuyu and tsukasa it's pretty straightforward.

mafuyu's people pleasing behavior comes from external expectations and pressures— her mother's demands.

tsukasa's people pleasing behavior comes internally, from himself— if he can't meet his own standards, if he can't be the perfect big brother or the perfect star, then he is nothing.

and even then, there's some overlap.

tsukasa's behavior was indirectly encouraged by his mother praising him for being a "good big brother" over the phone instead of asking him if he was okay while home alone.

mafuyu's terrified to be herself around other people because she doesn't want to worry or bother them— she doesn't want to be a burden— and projects her mother's expectations onto them, not realizing that they would prefer the real mafuyu if they knew the truth.

and the concept of mafukasa being foils is most perfectly and blatantly portrayed in these two cards.

mafuyu, the marionette, sitting limp on the floor— puppeteered by her mother's demands and donning a mask to hide her true self.

tsukasa, the jester, standing above everything else— puppeteering silenced plushies— his feelings. he's not being completely honest with himself, and he doesn't even realize it.

mafuyu has cut her strings and ripped her mask in half. she has acknowledged her true feelings and expressed them to her mother, even if she had to run away in the end.

tsukasa has not yet cut his.

I’ve been super busy with work and other stuff in my life so I haven’t had the time energy or motivation to really draw all that much, but with things settling down a bit I decided to stretch my drawing muscles and dive back in

And who better to do that with than sun and Moon? The most drawable boys ever

Very self indulgent but very much needed with the chaos in my life lately

It feels good to be back

Hiiiiiiiiii I hope you’re having a good day <3 For the valentines event can I request Lee!Kokushibou and Ler!Douma from Demon Slayer with 💛I’m Yours? I really want to see Kokushibou laugh for once and your writing is always so adorable thank you!!

Koku beloved! This ship is growing on me so hard! :D I've gotcha covered, friend!

I'm Yours: "You like being tickled, don't you?"

“I know a secret about you, Koku~” Douma cooed as he flopped across the older demon’s shoulders, nuzzling his face against his neck. “Do you wanna hear it?”

“If it’s a secret about me, wouldn’t I already know it?” Kokushibou asked, his meditative posture unyielding even with the additional weight. “I’m meditating right now. Tell me later.”

“Boo, how dull! I want you to guess!” Douma shook him gently, carrying on his small nuzzles. “Guess and I’ll let you go back to your patience game.”

Kokushibou blinked slowly before turning his gaze to his lover. He knew it was pointless to ignore him- Douma stuck around like a cicada, chirping relentlessly until you found it and released it back to the wild. “Alright…what’s my secret?”

“Guess!” Douma insisted, kissing his neck between nuzzles.

“Okay…I’m secretly good at duel wielding?” Koku offered, squirming some at the ticklish feeling.

“Nope- wait you are?” Douma leaned back to look at him, eyes wide. Koku’s neck suddenly felt cold.

“No, that was a lie.” Koku deadpanned, earning a swat. “Okay…I can’t cook?”

“Never seen you do so. That’s not the secret either!” Douma giggled, returning his head to Koku’s shoulder. “One more guess and I’ll tell you!”

“Alright…I am madly and unconditionally in love with Upper Moon 2, Douma.” Koku offered. He felt the blonde go still against him- the way he always did whenever Koku declared his love. What at first he assumed was discomfort turned out to be the chilly demon letting the new feelings wash over him like water. His stillness faded away soon after as Douma all but melted into his back, smiling.

“Nope, but that was a nice guess. I’ll give you half a point for it.” He sighed dreamily. “Ready for the real secret?”

“Sure. What is it?” Koku asked. Only then he realized Douma’s hands were now resting on his sides from behind.

“The secret is…you like being tickled!” Douma attacked, his fingers drilling into Koku’s sides without any hesitation. The older demon straightened at the feeling, flattening his mouth into a thin line. It wasn’t long before he was smiling, cheeks flushing a rare shade of pink and his smile started to grow. Finally, he laughed.

“Geahahahhaha! Ahehahhahaha! D-Dohohohoohohohhuma, pleahhahahhahahase!” He giggled out, falling back into Douma’s arms as the blonde continued gently digging his fingers up and down his sides, going right for the bad spots in the center.

“There it is! And you’re not even fighting back, Koku!” Douma nuzzled him more as he got lost in the sound of his lover’s laughter, his grin growing a touch more genuine with each musical note. “Come on then, let’s see what other secrets you’re hiding.”

Candy Heart Prompts Are Officially CLOSED!

Synastry Observations: Part 2💞

Your Moon/Mercury falling in someone’s 3H can open the house person up to bigger ideas of logic and emotion. A person who can be closed minded, ignorant or emotionally immature can possibly become more open minded and emotionally mature and considerate when they have 3H synastry with someone as the house person learns through the planet person.

Neptune synastry, esp when in the 1H/7H can project on the planet individual a lot. The house person can see the planet person as someone better or worse than they actually are. They refuse to see the person for who and what they are, whether in a good or bad sense and have rose colored glasses.

I noticed those with 9H synastry usually have issues with one another’s in laws. It can be that the in laws might not approve of a relationship or marriage between the two, seemingly because one of the partners might be completely different from what the others parents expected their son/daughter to be in a romantic relationship with.

Ladies, if your 1H falls in a man’s Venus sign or is sextile/conjuct his Mars/Venus/ASC, he may just be obsessed with you 🫢

Same can be said if your moon falls in his 8H/12H. They can obsessed with trying to know how you feel about them and wanting to own you basically

Pluto square/opp Moon in synastry indicate an emotionally abusive relationship sometimes.

10H synastry can indicate the friendship/relationship being a publicity stunt or something that’s very much in the public eye. Many people may know of you two being together.

Unfortunately, 10H synastry can also include a lot of your beef/fights with the person to be publicized or all over social media a lot esp if 11H synastry is involved too.

Your personal planets falling in someone’s 6H or aspecting Saturn/Neptune (esp harsh aspects) can indicate someone who is consistently trying to change or “fix” you.

6H synastry can also be indicative of someone making you do physical labor for them as well.

Jupiter opp Saturn can make the Jupiter person feel like they’re being held back or tied down in a relationship with the Saturn person but usually the Saturn person is just trying to give Jupiter some responsibility.

Uranus aspecting ASC in synastry is a sign of the ASC person feeling oddly vulnerable and comfortable around the Uranus person. They usually feel like they can be themselves.

Not sure when I’ll be doing a part 3, but thanks for all the support 👏🏻
