#alive genya au

[tangenkanashrine]

I'm so sorry

I"M SO SORRY THIS DAMN ONESHOT IS TAKING FOREVER- I WROTE LIKE 2000 WORDS ONE DAY AND JUST STOPPED?? Now I'm at 3000 but it's almost Halloween and I want y'all to see something before then. So uhm... TAKE SOME SNEAK PEAKS-

“The war’s over, but our story isn’t.”

“It’s over, the war with Muzan is over, finally. All the humans turned into demons, all those demon slayers who risked life and limb to defeat Muzan, everyone who was killed by them,  lost and forgotten in history as heroes… They can all rest, everyone can rest. We’re free from demons, there’s nothing more to fight. We can all rest and live in peace…” The thoughts linger in Tanjiro’s mind as he lays down in silence. The moonlight, once brought fear and sorrow to everyone he knows as now brought relief and comfort. The night could now be comforting, he thinks. Though, the memories will never go away, spending night slaying demons and almost dying will haunt everyone alive- maybe those who are dead too.  

It shines through the window and into the room, a very beautiful color clashing with the colors of the room. The room he’s used to all too well, many white sheet beds all clean and tidy. Some people were still recovering, most other rooms filled as well. He was left with few slayers that survived and suffered wounds that put them into much longer sleep. As long as they were breathing, they were still left here hoping to wake up. Tanjiro had done such and by him, on the other bed was Genya Shinazugawa.  He has met Genya exactly 2 times now, their first mission together and when training with the Hashira. 

Tanjiro has always been fond of Genya, their first meeting he was determined to befriend Genya and he did. Learning he could simply eat a demon’s body part was fascinating to him, so cool! He thought, secretly, he may have a crush on the black haired boy. The way Genya could get so defensive so quickly, How Genya would get so blushy when he’s embarrassed or with girls and how handsome the older boy is. That wasn’t his concern though, he had to focus on killing Muzan and turning his sister back into a human. So he never spoke up.

He also had similar thoughts of Kanao, finding himself in love with her after his mission with the once Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku. She was swift, how she would easily grab a cup and without hesitation throw it right at his face was a good surprise to Tanjiro.  Kanao’s kind heart hidden by her trust in the coin, Kanao’s confusion at most things despite it being considered common knowledge for many and how beautiful the girl is. 

Maybe he falls in love too fast, but that wouldn’t matter to him. 

Tanjiro’s first priority was his sister and turning her back into a human, love was the last thing on his mind. Now that Nezuko is human, he has to recover and learn to live half blind with one arm. With Muzan gone and the corps disbanding there was still recovering that needed to be done, he won’t push on more issues to his crushes. They have enough on their plate. 

Genya, he still needs to wake up, his brother is worried sick and they need to do some consulting with each other. Kanao, she runs the butterfly mansion because the Insect Hashira died during the battle and has to navigate with Kaburamaru- a snake she’s never met who was once the Serpent Hashira’s, Obanai Iguro. They need time to adjust and adapt to their new lives… 

Tanjiro’s unsure of what to do, his thoughts linger on the war, his journey, his family, his friends and the two black heads with amazing hair styles. He turns himself to Genya’s bed, the boy resting covered in no wounds or bandages. He recalls what the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa had explained about their battle. 

Their fight was with Upper Moon 1, Himself, his brother, the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and the Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima. They fought long and hard against him, Muichiro saved Genya’s life one time but was unable to return the favor as they both were cut in half in different ways. Awful, disgusting, Tanjiro couldn’t bear the thought. How Muichiro wanted to live and talk about anything but demons, he left horrible knowing Muichiro’s wish was never granted.  As Genya was dying, cut in half and slowly blowing away into ashes- Sanemi managed to capture one of Upper 1’s fingers and shoved it into Genya’s throat. He ate it but his regeneration took a long time, his body passed out after swallowing so Sanemi had carried him out, handed him to some Kakushi and continued the battle against Muzan.

Genya’s body was intact by the end of the fight but he never woke up. He was breathing fine, maybe his inside needed to heal? It was unsure but everyone refused to give up on him, just like with Tanjiro. 

Tanjiro recalled back to his time, his short time becoming the demon king possessed by Muzan. The thought still frightens him, what he could’ve done to everyone and what he did do. That will always haunt him. Nezuko holding onto him screaming his name, Inosuke almost killing him but giving up because he was Tanjiro, Kanao risking her life to inject him with what they used on Nezuko and everyone else… Everyone didn’t give up because they cared for him. It hurt his heart but he felt loved at the same time, it hurt but at least now they were safe. 

The scent of the room was of old blood and his friend's scent. Inosuke, Zenitsu and Nezuko all choose to sleep in the same room on one bed. Quoting the 3 as they said in unison, “We’re not leaving Tanjiro's side.” even if almost everyone persisted. It’s not like they had anywhere else to go but there were other rooms instead of sleeping next to possibly dead people. As to not take up too much space either they’re all currently cuddling on the one bed across Tanjiro’s. Looking back at the 3, Tanjiro chuckled, he greatly appreciated them. 

Inosuke was underneath like a rough bed for the two, if he laid on top he could kill them both. Shockingly, he slept a lot more curled up and onto the pillow then spread out like everyone thought. Nezuko was using Inosuke’s legs as her pillow, lightly curled up hugging Zenitsu like her teddy bear. Zenitsu was shockingly taking up the most room, one arm was wrapped underneath Inosuke and his other arm hugging Nezuko like his teddy bear. Ow, Zenitsu’s arm is not going to be ok in the morning. They fell asleep together peacefully, Tanjiro remembered their little fight about how they’d sleep on one bed until they agreed to this, he found it adorable. They all wanted to stay in the room with him but they all refused to take up so much space in case it was ever needed, how thoughtful. Oh how he was lucky to see they all lived....

More silly sabibun doodles

I’m trying to use my older crankier laptop for art

Ibis paint was..fine? Barely. Maybe it’s my laptop or canvas size that makes it lag a little, also there’s ads

Flip a Clip is good for animating in my experience, but not being able to use the buttons on my drawing tablet really slows down the process for me.

kny x earth to echo au. my most self indulgent piece yet

[imsosleepyofyourbull]

This is an impulsive draft of a scene I thought up based on @orange-artist‘s Time Travel AU of the Kamaboko Squad… if you read this, know that I love your art and that I genuinely can’t stop thinking about it. Please enjoy the hyper-fixation soup of words that I call my unedited writing!

“Kanata and Kiriya,” Kagaya gasped, his usually gentle and composed features overrun with surprise as he desperately hoped he had not misheard them. “How… how many of the children did you say survived this year’s Final Selection?”

“Of the thirty-three test takers, thirty-three have passed and will continue to serve the Demon Slayer Corps,” Kanata replied dutifully.

“Of those thirty-three,” Kiriya continued after, already anticipating their father’s next question. “Five were noted to be especially skilled.”

“The independent swordsman who developed his own breathing style, Hashibira Inosuke.”

“The independent swordsman who does not use a breathing style, Shinazugawa Genya.”

“The youngest student of the retired Rumbling Pillar Kuwajima Jigoro, Agatsuma Zenitsu.”

“The newest student of the retired Water Pillar Urokodaki Sakonji, Kamado Tanjiro.”

“And the only student of the current Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu, Tsuyuri Kanao.”

Kiriya gave their father a moment to commit the different names to memory before concluding, “the remaining twenty-eight state one or more of these five had saved their lives at least once and stayed close by until they were healthy enough to survive the rest of the week. We saw each of them waiting at the edge of the forest for the rest of the stragglers before passing themselves. Additionally, the Kasugai Crows we sent on a final expedition of the forest afterward reported that only one or two of the demons were left alive.”

Kagaya had believed the Miracle Selection to be a once in a lifetime phenomena — marked by a lonely gravestone in their strange family’s shared cemetery and the memory of a peach colored fox wielding violent waters in defense of its peers.

Unimaginable, and unrepeatable.

He was right, but only because this Miracle Selection was nothing like the first. This one was intentional and decisive and everything that his family made of blood, bone, and steel had been waiting for. The beginning, or perhaps just the first visible omen, of a change in the very course of the world that Kagaya had been unable to foresee until it had already happened. Was it any coincidence that there were thirty-three survivors specifically? That, of those thirty-three, five of them in particular had saved the rest?

The Ubuyashiki were superstitious by nature; marrying their heirs to the daughters of priests and teaching their children to create rings of salt around their beds when they wanted some extra protection at night. The importance of the numbers three and five were not lost on him. With the three sacred treasures and the five directions (the five senses) marking their way, there was no question as to what he must do. Kanata and Kiriya know it too, or they would’ve sent a crow instead of making a personal report.

“Tell our most reliable kasugai to follow the five children you just mentioned,” he ordered Kanata, “they don’t have to be especially quiet… though I would appreciate it if they were undisruptive.”

He could not see her, but he knew that she gave him a solemn bow before turning to leave.

For Kiriya, “I need a missive to be sent to all of the currently active Pillars as well as the retired Rumbling and Water Pillars for a meeting at the northwestern estate three months from now.”

“Understood.”

The tide of change was fast approaching, and he knows that it will spell the end of this centuries long battle against the night. Kibutsuji Muzan will not live to see the next era — that, he promises.

(What he does not know just yet is that his chosen children have already sat on the horizon of a demon free world, and they know that they cannot afford to fail twice. Once was enough.)

😗Ummm…. Do you think you could do a little Drabble or some HCs about Genya with a mom figure? Like, maybe Himejima gets married and his wife meets Genya and is determined to give him a stable family and a good female role model. Like sure he totally ignores or is embarrassed by her at first but then she makes him food or cuts up watermelon for him 🥺 Maybe he eventually opens up to the “mom” and she tries to help him untangle all his teenage anger. MY POOR BOY NEEDS A FAMILY AND HIMEJIMA CANT DO IT ALONE. (Also pls feel free to ignore if you don’t like the prompt. Tysm I love your writing and the blind Genya AU kills me in the best way possible)

➳ ғᴀᴍɪʟʏ

𝖢𝖢'𝗌 𝖭𝗈𝗍𝖾: AHHH IM SO SORRY FOR BEING INACTIVE MY EXAMS LITERALLY START THIS THURSDAY AND IVE BEEN CRYING BECAUSE OF IT🥹

Himejima was like a father to Genya. His father was an asshole, so having a good role model made Genya adore him so much more.

He loved his mother. His mother was gentle, smiled a lot and despite being weak, she was able to protect.

He didn’t have anyone in his life to replace his mother and he wanted to keep it that way. That is, until Himejima got married.

Genya was beyond happy that Himejima got the chance to fall in love with someone who loved him and who he loved back, but he didn’t know how to approach the new addition to their tiny family of two.

The poor boy’s cheeks would always flare up intensely whenever he saw you. At first, you thought he genuinely liked you which led you to reject him politely during the hashira training one day in front of everyone else.

It was after Genya passed out from embarrassment when Tanjiro told you Genya just got nervous around every girl whether he liked them or not.

Genya was basically your son, so you had a mission to get him to think of you as a mother.

Even though he ignored you at most times, you managed to talk to him even if he didn’t respond. You opened up about everything and told tales of your past.

You ruffled his hair often with a soft smile before you always went up to your husband to kiss his large hand since he was far too tall for you to kiss his cheek.

Genya stayed up late often to train, so you also started staying up to make him little snacks occasionally.

You would call his name and give him a small plate of a few pieces of onigiri and smile when you see his eyes light up as he ate. Your favourite part was occasionally surprising him with another small plate of watermelon cut into adorable shapes.

You really babied him a lot. He was a huge kid, but you couldn’t help it. Genya was like a shy tiger.

The kid occasionally started warming up to you and he started initiating conversations. He could see the way your eyes lit up every time he made effort into your relationship.

You often say together with the three of them, showing them how to make some of your dishes. Himejima would help with the cutting and washing, while you guided Genya with the cooking.

You cried for the first time in years in your husband’s arms after Genya had left for a mission and he had said, “Bye, mom! I’ll be back soon! Please make a lot of food for me when I get back!”

You obeyed your baby’s request. How could you not? You loved seeing the hidden joy in his face whenever you fed him some food directly. Himejima smiled to himself when he heard the laughter his newfound family let out. He was beyond thankful to the gods above that he was alive to experience something so precious.

Genya soon realised that you weren’t his mother. You were never his mother, and you would never be his mother, but he would love you the same. He loved his mother, but he also loved you. His mother taught him how to love because it was all she could teach before she passed, while you helped teach him the rest.

You were there to hold him when he cried in your shoulders on the day his older brother nearly blinded him. You didn’t judge him for eating demons. You didn’t look down at him when he confessed he couldn’t use breathing forms.

You were there for everything. You were there during both Genya’s and Himejima’s sparring sessions, you were there to cook for your family, you were there to listen, you were there to love them. You were even there when Himejima had to leave abruptly to the demon amuse headquarters after an emergency meeting was announced. You were there when you saw Genya fall in the trapdoors on the floor which appeared so suddenly because you didn’t have a good feeling of leaving him alone, making you run up to his training ground to retrieve your son.

You ran as fast as you could when your husband’s kasugai crow led you to where the big battle was happening, only reaching during daybreak.

You felt your heart drop and tears sting your eyes when you saw corpses everywhere, but the sight of your unmoving husband was the only thing you were focused on.

The kakushi had to hold you back even when you screamed at the top of your lungs, yelling at Himejima to open his eyes.

You choked on your tears when you asked about Genya, your son. You knew he was also gone from the silence you received.

You couldn’t even cry anymore. Your eyes just closed before you passed out.

You woke up with a message from Sanemi that Genya had turned into ashes. Your little boy didn’t have a body to bury, meaning he’ll never have a proper funeral.

You folded Genya’s clothes really neatly and placed it in your dead husband’s arms as he laid so beautifully in the casket. You placed your son’s gun on top of his uniform, unable to watch the burial since tears were blurring your vision.

You woke up the next day, wishing you could feel the weight of Genya’s leg over your stomach as he slept in the most atrocious position ever while Himejima’s arms refused to let you go even in sleep one last time.

Genya survives AU

Post-war, Genya struggles with the effects of his almost fatal injury, becoming weaker physically. He uses a wooden cane most of the time and a wheelchair on more challenging days. Along with the physical scars, he has emotional ones, suffering from PTSD and relentless nightmares. He starts living with Sanemi, slowly learning how to coexist. Genya tries to make up for the lost time, aware as well that their remaining time is limited because of the Mark. Their life is full of moments of warmth and gentleness, but it's different from when they were younger, years of separation and one-sided hostility creates an unease between the boys. Sanemi's protectiveness sometimes feels stifling, but Genya keeps his emotions and thoughts regarding it bottled up, fearing damaging their fragile bond. Acting like siblings again is tough and Genya assumes that's natural given all they've been through and their long separation. His body fails him in ways he doesn't share with Sanemi to spare him, and because it is impossible to communicate. Genya finds solace in the Kamado family, though he can’t visit them often due to his physical limitations. When he does, they don't view him with pity, unlike the way Sanemi subtly and silently but noticeably does.

Genya adores Sanemi, and on his good days, he’s grateful for every painful, labored breath because it gives him another chance to be with his brother. Sanemi cooks his favorite meals and ensures he doesn’t strain his body. They have long conversations, not about the past but about many other things. Genya’s heart is full of gratitude, and he often finds himself wanting to reach out and hug his brother. However, on bad days, his body aches and flares, Sanemi feels like a stranger, a mere shadow of the boy he once knew, and he can't help but notice all the scars that cover his body, the tiredness he hides, and the fact that he knows little about him.

Genya would do anything for Sanemi, including giving up his life for him. He craves some personal space. He wants to give Sanemi the world. He is frustrated with his brother's tender words and gentle gestures that fail to ease the pain, yet he knows it’s unfair to direct his anger at his brother.

Every moment alive, next to Sanemi, is a blessing, though life remains difficult. When Genya accidentally mentions one of their younger siblings, Sanemi flinches. Whenever he tries to bring up that night, Sanemi recoils, only responding with, "If you apologize again, I'll smack you in the face." So, Genya avoids the topic of their family and the death of the Hashira, unable to bring himself to ask Sanemi about the way he spent his time after they both went their own way.

He knows Sanemi is there for him, but he fixates on every small shift in his brother's behavior, carefully examining each word and action, fearing that at any moment his brother will leave and never return. A whirlpool grows in his chest, threatening to consume everything, leaving him all alone in the darkness and cold. This feeling eats away at him, reminding him that he was abandoned once, which means it could happen again. He fears that Sanemi might get tired of him, see him for who he really is, and leave. Or worse, his brother might try to spare him from witnessing his suffering from the mark by packing up and running away. When Sanemi’s voice sounds distant or his demeanor becomes cold even slightly, Genya panics, nearly falling to his knees, begging the other to stay.

Desperate to keep his brother close, Genya obeys Sanemi’s every command. They follow the routine advised by the Butterfly girls, walking around the estate daily and eating only healthy steamed food. Genya avoids lifting heavy objects around Sanemi, constantly smiles, and accompanies Sanemi everywhere, avoiding discussions about the Mark or the fear that creeps in late at night. He knows his brother wants happiness for him, so he tries his best to obtain it.

Genya is really grateful for his love and care. Sanemi offers to carry him when he notices him wincing with every step which he refuses every time. Sanemi shapes his life around Genya's needs, goes with him to every medical appointment, pats his head with gentleness, helps him get dressed, adds an extra layer on top of him when it's a chilly night, buys him new clothes, a wheelchair, and even waters his bonsai tree when he forgets. And in the summer, he brings him watermelon every day. Genya is the most spoiled person in the world. His brother's love overwhelms him; it is the weight that suffocates him, it tethers him to reality and stifles him at the same time.

Genya knows his brother doesn't mean to be overbearing. Sanemi tries hard every day. He picks his words carefully and softens his edges. He even sits back at times, allowing Genya to cook a bit, tidy up, or visit friends. Sanemi makes an effort to be nice, asks Genya many questions, and restrains himself from offering help for every single thing. Genya notices the agony in Sanemi's eyes when he's in physical pain and the hurt when he shares something about himself that his older brother doesn't know. He sees the guilt, and the worry too. Sanemi has been caring and looking out for him ever since he was very young, so Genya understands that it won't be easy to stop. He understands, he really does.

[kozmicmizuu]

guys please PLEASE here me out on this kny au idea

————————————————————————

ok yall watched Puss in Boots the last wish?? and have seen the 2019 kny halloween costumes???

guys…. them as puss and death…

PLEASE

idk how this cooked in my head but i can’t get it out after rewatching the movie

so obviously the others would be in this- i’ll get there don’t worry let me cook

tengen would obviously be a bit of a cocky bastard because he’s never been caught or killed, being the successful pirate he is, he considers himself almost untouchable. but he’s avoided death too many times— he was supposed to be dead ages ago. and then giyuu comes in.

giyuu was of course pissed off and agitated that some albino lil pirate bitch kept avoiding his clutches, so he decided to take him himself

then this scene is probably gonna be the first scene of this au, just them meeting in a bar

and the sizes would, of course, be swapped. tengens a big guy who is currently sitting next to the embodiment of death and the purge of the sea and doesn’t suspect a thing— because no way he’s taller than death! he’s not looking up at death, he’s looking down

just like he has been for his whole life

giyuu didn’t say anything (typical) and simply drank with him until tengen got a bit suspicious and felt uneasy about him. giyuu then pulled the same thing death did and told tengen “i’m a big fan- could you sign this for me?”

then pulls out the “wanted- dead or alive” thing and points to dead. then the whole fight scene happens, but it’s a bit different. tengen did land a hit on giyuu, successfully cutting giyuu in half at the stomach. but nothing happened. giyuu just simply put himself back together and acted like nothing happened, he simply said “you do live up to the legends.”

of course, tengen was confused and a bit worried now, giyuu didn’t care, he had an objective and he would complete it

the famous scene of puss actually getting touched by a blade would be blue, a bright yet dark blue— like the seas tengen rules, he just didn’t know that they’d be ruled by someone else (giyuu). also another overall headcanon for giyuu is that he’s a scary guy when he really wants to be

as for the others, i do have some ideas for them

these two are giyuu’s angel and devil on his shoulders, throughout the au, these two are helping giyuu with his decisions and even with fights! they’re like giyuu’s lil summons

i had to add genya my beloved

but yes, giyuu’s lil hell hound babygi— i mean super tough and cool is sanemi ft. two other lil hounds. genya just came along because sanemi made him(he couldn’t find a babysitter). but genya is very determined to impress his big brother.

instead of death being alone i just thought it’d be cool to have a little team for death hehe

also just found out i have a limit of ten images so ima just let yall find the 2019 halloween pics for kny (can be found of pinterest and google!) sigh 😔

but yeah, the rest of the hashira are helping tengen! most of em at least. himejina, kyojuro and muichiro are spirits that are simply wondering around, kinda sorta avoiding being put in the underworld (giyuu is going insane because of that)

and shinobu is a witch! she’s a very talented (and scary) one at that, she’s more than willing to help(may or may not have questions for death about a certain sister of hers)

mitsuri and obanai come together DO NOT SEPARATE! mitsuri is a kitsune while obanai has a big old snake buddy (with kaburamaru) (long ass name for a snake) also obanai did NOT want to go.

the kamaboko squad id also here!! but they’re the comedic breaks for this au, god bless their souls for that

and yes, giyuu shall speak spanish in this too, cause why not

————————————————————————

wowzers this is long (that’s what she said)

[silverynight]

This is basically just a bunch of yapping about my rewrite kny au.

Nezuko and Tanjirou are twins to like parallel them with the Tsugikuni twins. Tanjirou is much closer with Giyuu and Urokodaki than in canon

Nezuko talks and she learned water breathing, she wears the corps uniform with her kimono and haori over it. She doesn't talk alot but she always talks rather clearly and maturely. She still doesn't remember her family's deaths, so she thought everyone was her family. For the hashira, she views them like this (Kie=Shinobu, Tanjuro=Rengoku, Sanemi=Takeo, Mitsuri=Hanako, Obanai=Rokuta). Also, thought of the idea where the kamado family all had enhanced senses. So far I thought of, Tanjiro=Smell, Takeo=Touch, Shigeru=Taste, Hanako=Sight, and Rokuta=Hearing. Meaning, she'd probably see alot of her family in the Kamaboko squad.

Tanjirou is the same, but he's more so visibly suffering. He is pretty much denying his family's deaths until Mugen train, and damn did he get angry at Enmu. He takes a while to forgive the hashira for wanting his sister dead, he knows it's their job. But honestly, hearing people describe ways to brutally murder the only living relative you have, will tick people off.

Tanjirou loses it during swordsmith village arc when Nezuko seemingly dies, seriously like Rip Hantengu. He's really kind but he's done with everyone's shit. Patience of a saint? Not anymore. Probably kicked Sanemi in the ribs for what he did to Genya.

He sees ghosts more like seriously. He sees Kanae, Masachika wondering around sometimes, Sabito, Makomo, HIS FAMILY. the ghosts of his family is more or less why he thought they were alive. He's Kinds crazy, but in a good way? Basically, he is kind, he is like Canon but more or less with shorter patience and a tendency to go full on feral when pushed enough.

He does sympathize with demons, but he kills them before letting them go with their sob story. He truly pities Uppermoon demons most of all. He'd probably save them all if he could, expect Hantengu and Gyokko.

The endings still the same, but he retains some of demon characteristics like sharp fangs, and his demon slayer mark is permanent. He has slightly pointed ears too they're cute.

Thanks for sharing this idea.

[princeblue]

Au where Masachika survives, but he's in a coma so bad to the point where he will NOT be waking up any time soon. If he ever woke up and saw how Sanemi treated Genya he would be like "Bro, all that talk about how much you love him, and you're sitting here doing anything BUT talk out your problems"

They have plans to pull the plug on masachika in like a week and then the eye incident happens and Masachika wakes up in a cold sweat like

“A boy needs to be big brother’ed”

But then like you said, as sanemi rushes to go see him to explain that he’s the wind Hashira now and his kid brother is in the demon corps masachika is reeling that it’s probably been over two-three years at this point (Sanemi was around 18-19 when he became a Hashira right? Fairly young and recent I think but crazy when you’ve been in a coma.) and then he hears “I tried to blind him out of desperation when he confessed he was eating demons for strength.”

And masachika pushes aside the “eating demons part” because technically that should not be possible because I doubt he knew about prior demon slayers with the ability since he seemed rather focused on living it easy when he wasn’t killing demons rather than studying up on Lore in favor for the TRYING to BLIND your BABY BROTHER part “SANEMI”

So you best bet sanemi gets the fucking ear full of his life from a still halfway dead and probably disoriented man he’s trauma dumping on.

Does masachikas advice work? Prollyyyyy not. Not unless:

“Well if you don’t want him I’ll take him then, cause obviously I need a new fledgling under my wing.”

“Hm.”

—

But in the other aspect, more angsty side, let’s play with the idea that sanemi is kind of in charge of the pull the plug decision on Masachika and I’m sure he knows like anyone else that slowly rotting away in your body while you lose muscle and color and weight and etc and only being kept alive by machines is no true life.

He’d probably “confess��� everything to Masachika as one final farewell, how genya has suddenly reappeared, if sanemi is doing the right thing for genya and Masachika’s lives. What he’ll do next, how he’ll do it. How he’s sorry he couldn’t protect Masachika and really can’t protect Genya either, although he still tries.

And then Masachika is gone, physically at least. Shaking his head beyond the plane of existence sanemi can’t see at his stupidity and wishing that he could have helped them better mend their relationship, that he could’ve told genya how much sanemi loves him and told Sanemi that the love he shows Genya is more hurtful to the kid than getting ripped apart by demons every night simply because he can regenerate with one bite of demon flesh.

Too bad it didn’t work out like that.

[mindlesstale]

Demon Slayer; 6Th Sense Soulmate AU!

Demon Slayer Soulmate/Found Family AU; Everyone is aware of how the Kamaboko Squad each represent one of the 6th sense- but what if when you find your soulmate that sense heightens.

LET ME JUST STATE THAT THIS IS NOT A ROMANTIC SOULMATE AU! It’s meant more as found family. And yes- if you wish, some can be seen as romantic, but for me, no.

For example; Tanjiro has smell, Zenitsu has hearing, by being close to one another- Tanjiro’s hearing increases and Zenitsu’s sense of smell also increases. Also, near death or danger, also increases their senses. But only after meeting their soulmate, you also have to touch one another. Just so it’s obvious at first of who you get your sense from.

Also I’d think it would be funny on Tanjiro and Genya figuring it out after Genya drowns him in the hot springs. Them feeling their sense heightening and Tanjiro accidentally swallowing water in disbelieve. Genya would not make it easy on his soulmate though.

This does not mean it’s on par with the original user. Zenitsu can smell better, but not as much as Tanjiro. This goes for all the squad, minus Nezuko, sorry Nezuko, but I have no idea what you would be.

And by squad I mean, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Genya, and Kanao. I see you people who never include Kanao (sometimes) and Genya.

Now the angst- when losing a soulmate, their selected 6th sense dulls down. It becomes worse than what it originally was.

For example, Uzui (Hearing) and Rengoku (Taste), when Rengoku passed, Uzui lost a sense of taste. It’s not as if he can’t taste food, because he can, it’s just that everything tastes duller than before he met Rengoku. A reminder that your soulmate is gone.

Also! When your soulmate passes on, you feel a sharp pain on what they represented for you. For example, if Inosuke passed during the Entertainment Arc, the squad would feel a sharp pain in their hands. If Zenitsu passed, they would hear a sharp ringing in their ears for a minute or two. Kanao would be eye strains, Genya mouth aches, and Tanjiro nose pain.

Also depending on how close your bond is, it will affects how much pain it will hurt. Like for Kanao after the Entertaining Arc, she wasn’t close to Zenitsu or Inosuke, so her pain would feel like a cramp in her arm or a quick ringing in her ears. Something that she wouldn’t question at the time. But as stated in the beforehand, if the bond is strong, it would hurt for a minute or two and be a strong sensation.

I want snippets of others finding each other and just using their senses to their advantage or getting accustomed to it.

And if someone were to write this- plz notify me.

~Spoiler Warning~

Imagine that after the battle, everyone gets together to eat in celebration. But once the Kamaboko squad take a bite- they can’t hold in their sadness anymore.

They burst out crying and mourning for their lost soulmate. Everyone tries to cheer them up, or at least calm them, but nothing works.

They must cry out for their soulmate that they didn’t have the time to appreciate or bond with. Their string was strengthening, but now nothing more than a broken thread.

Sanami can’t help but mourn for his brother again, and wish that he was still alive to be with his soulmates. Wondering what it would it would have been, to find his other family.

school keeps me busy so I havent really done much about my mlp!Kimetsu no yaiba au besides thinking, anyways what I thought so far:

The kamados are earth ponies

Tomioka is an unicorn

Sanemi is either an earth pony or pegasus. (I'm starting to lean towards son of an earth pony, his mom, and a pegasus, his dad, that way I can play with his dinamic with genya adding another layer by making Sanemi a pegasus and Genya an earth pony)

Kyojuro, per results of the poll, is a dragon and therefore so are the Rengokus.

Mitsuri, per results of the poll, is a kirin which I'm definitely going to use with her whole insecurities about her strength and such (people are scared of her because she is a kirin oh no :[ )

Obanai is an unicorn too, smaller than average and with small horn giving him difficulties when using his magic, reason he gets bullied in a family of unicorns (distrust of women + unicorns yummy...)

Uzui I have to investigate about the flashiest mlp species, however I'm leaning to making him a crystal pony (Cause of his ninja headband having something that kinda looks like rocks?)

Ubuyashikis are cursed alicorns (Yes technically I'm ignoring the lore by making them all alicorns since they have to earn it and Candance daughter is the exception, but I'm thinking that as the eldest son takes the place of the leader they become an alicorn or something) the curse drains them of their magic, alicorns are mostly magic therefore they die once it drains them enough (also gives a good excuse as to why Kagaya doesnt laser beam Muzan's ass)

Shinobu and Kanae might be half changlings (unicorn mom or Pegasus mom + redeemed changling dad)? If I go this route, Kanao will a changling.

Zenitsu HAS to be an unicorn but I cant decide whether Inosuke will be an earth pony or pegasus, I was thinking a Yak but those were used in mlp as an in for a different ethnicity and racism episodes I dont know if I should use that species for the "savage" boy.

I have to check the name, but Muichiro might be an hypogriff(is that the name?).

The demons will be different species, some mind controlled/cursed by Muzan (not sure what he is going to be yet), the uppermoons and lower moons however are conscious (redeemtion arcs for some? :3 )

Not as many deaths I wanna do it in true mlp fashion, all hashira live, however there will be deaths (Tomioka's parents, but his sister stays alive she is just missing; Muichiro's and Shinobu's parents are death like applejack's parents; etc.)

Debating whether Tanjiro will be able to save his whole family or just save Nezuko who will be cursed.

Definitely way happier ending than Kny, but only cause they are ponies.

Last but not least: Giving it a corny ass that fuses the titles My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Kimetsu no Yaiba.

making character sheets for the earth to echo au & the barbie mugshot meme is getting to me. might do close-ups as mug shots even tho they dont get caught in the au

Everyone Wants A Brother Like You Part 1 A Brother In A Different Way

Everyone wants a big brother, especially if it's one as caring and kind as Tanjiro. They all think so but it's too bad they can't have a brother like him-...Or can they actually in a different way?

(DISCLAIMERS!!: This is gonna be a little story based on the art by feshnie on deviantart and an au based on the same picture by @yuki2sksksk on Tumblr. It'll just be cute little Oneshots because honestly I think all these ships involving Nezuko are cute. Although Inosuke's route will be written up for interpretation as platonic or romantic. This is just an au I'm doing for fun so things aren't going to be cannon and might be ooc. All art shown with the Chapters (minus the coverart which is by Feshnie on DeviantArt) was either taken from the anime, from the Kimetsu No Yaiba/Kimetsu Gakuen mangas, or are sketches by Koyoharu Gotouge.

Also everyone is alive because I said so. This takes place after battling Muzan for the final time and everyone is currently recovering.)

The beautiful morning sun gazed over the earth with a golden glow and cascaded through the window making the glass glow with a shine. The cherry blossoms outside swayed gently in the breeze as soft pink petals and perfect green leaves fell from their branches and floated down onto the ground outside of the Butterfly Mansion. Birds sang and fluttered about the breeze. The peaceful quiet settling in with the silent morning.

Until a flurry of giggles and squeals interrupted the air as three little girls ran past the window in play kicking up petals and leaves.

"Dammit! Can't they wait until later in the day to start playing!?"

The once silent room was alive with grumbles and groans of others waking in their beds. One in particular cursing the sun and turning around to plop back onto his stomach shoving a rather fluffy pillow over his head. However one of them was energetic enough to sit up and stretch out smiling at the window with a yawn and smile. 

"Oh, come on. It's not that bad. It's a beautiful morning today!"

"HA!! I WAS AWAKE WAY BEFORE THE SUN WAS!! TAKE THAT YOU WIMPY FIREBALL!!"

"Would you be quiet?! Your yelling is worse than your snoring- OOP?!"

"HAHAHAHA!! TOO SLOW, MITENFU!!"

Red eyes turned over and sighed. Tanjiro had been hopeful it would be a nice morning before any training but it seemed like that wouldn't be the case. Inosuke had woken up in typical Inosuke fashion by yelling and declaring his righteous toughness over anything he randomly decided to challenge that day making Zenitsu yell back complaining. Unfortunately the blonde hadn't been fast enough to duck the incoming pillow their friend had thrown right at his face knocking Zenitsu back onto the bed.

"THAT'S UNCALLED FOR!!," the blonde furiously tore the pillow from his face sitting back up and pointing right back to him. "And it's Zenitsu! Got that?! You've known me for how long and you still can't get my name right?!"

"Oh, give it a rest both of you!! You're annoying as hell!!" Tanjiro looked next to him. Genya was still laying on his stomach and had the pillow over his head still. On his other side Muichiro blinked silently as his brain slowly became ungroggy to the world. "Next time I'm sleeping outside! At least the birds are quiet at night!"

"Says you!" Zenitsu dared to point at Genya next as the black haired boy glared at him from under the pillow. "You both snore so loud you can attract an army of demons from a hundred miles away!!"

"Guys." Tanjiro rose a hand to no avail.

"HUH?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN PENTA IS LOUDER THAN ME?!" In an instant Inosuke was standing on his bed pointing one hand at Zenitsu and one at Genya accusingly as both turned to now glare at him. "MY LUNGS ARE SO POWERFUL I CAN BEAT BOTH OF IN YELLING!!"

"Fucking hell. Can't you get my name right at least?"

"See?! I told you you're always getting everyone's names wrong!"

"I wasn't talking to you, Sunflower!!"

"Guys?" Tanjiro asked slightly louder as Zenitsu whipped back to Genya.

"SUNFLOWER!? DO I LOOK LIKE A PLANT TO YOU?!"

"No. At least plants are quiet." Genya finally allowed the pillow to fall from his annoyed face having given up on sleeping in that morning.

"At least sunflowers are nice to look at! You look like a piece of coal that got hacked up by a mangy cat!!"

"What the hell did you say to me, Blondie?!"

"HEY!! IM STILL LOUDER!!"

"WE WEREN'T TALKING TO YOU!!" "SHUT UP, PIGHEAD!!"

"GUYS!!" All at once the three of them stopped whipping around to stare at Tanjiro who gave a stern look back holding both hands up... before sighing allowing both his arms to plop back down to his sides. "Let's not fight. It's too early in the morning to fight like this."

Both Zenitsu and Genya looked at one another and scowled but otherwise didn't argue again much to Tanjiro's relief. Inosuke laughed loudly in triumph.

"HA!! That means I beat both of you in loudness!"

"You certainly do, Inosuke." Tanjiro smiled happily. "Let's all save the next contest for later."

"None of us were in a contest," Zenitsu mumbled under his breath but didn't start an argument again.

"Ok. Hey, Misthead. Where are you going?"

They all turned to Muichiro whom had just gotten up silently, tossed off the blankets, and walked off towards the bathhouse area. Rubbing his eyes and yawning as the others followed him with their heads.

"To get dressed. All of you are too noisy."

"Hey! That's not a bad idea!" Tanjiro smiled at him and quickly followed Muichiro's lead in tossing off the blankets and following after their friend. Making a motion at everyone else to follow. "Come on. Let's all go get breakfast! We'll feel better if we eat something."

More grumbling was had. Eventually one after one they followed after the cheerfully smiling boy. At least it would stop the grumbling and put everyone in a better mood and hopefully stop them all from fighting. Twenty minutes later and the whole group of them found themselves just outside the door leading to the garden. Shinobu had suggested they should get some fresh air while waiting for their food to be made but to in her own words-

"Mind your injuries. You're still healing from very serious injuries from a very serious battle. I'd hate to confine you all to bed."

Shinobu's threats were to be taken very seriously as experience has taught them. So they gathered just outside of the garden and watched the peaceful day go by. Not a single thing to be worried about now. Just then all and the peaceful morning air-

"TANJIRO!!" That was until three little girls came running right up to the red eyed boy looking almost worried.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong!," one of the three girls spoke up smiling at him. "Nezuko just needs your help with getting firewood!"

"Oh! Of course! Where is she?"

Nezuko. Finally after so long she was human again. After so long and after so much stress and effort, his beloved sister was finally able to walk in the sunlight again and live out her life. Human. It's still as if he'd wake up one day and it'll all be a dream but it was his reality. One they had to keep.

Tanjiro scanned behind them but didn't see any signs of his sister. "Where is she?"

"Outside of the garden with Aoi." Another pointed to just outside the garden and near the treeline. "She's waiting for you."

"Alright then! I guess I better go help them." He turned a smile right back to his friends just as another new face appeared in the doorway behind them. "I'll be right back. Save me a bowl of udon when the food arrives. Alright?"

Then he left quickly leaving everyone else to wait standing there.

"WWWWHHHHAAAAA- Why didn't Nezuko-chan ask for my help?! As her future husband, don't I get some consideration from her?!"

"Oh put a sock in it, Sunflower!"

"What's going on?" A new voice asked as a boy the same age as Muichiro stepped out holding a broom in his hands looking confused.

"Senjuro," one of the girls greeted him. "Tanjiro's gone to help Nezuko and Ali with the firewood!"

"Oh." The flame haired boy smiled. "That's nice of him. Nezuko's lucky to have such a kind brother."

Muichiro glanced curiously at the other boy, a look of slight concern in his eyes. "Senjuro, how's Kyojuro?" Senjuro jumped and blinked taken aback in surprise at Muichiro of all people addressing him. But Muichiro only tilted his head further. "I heard as of lately he was still recovering from his battle wounds, but I have yet to see him around. How is he?"

Senjuro blinked again before sighing. "You mean despite the missing eye and hole in his stomach?" He nodded glumly. "He's ok. Not great but ok. Ms. Shinobu says he'll live but..I'm still worried about him." He looked uncomfortable to say the least and decided to change the subject. "How's your brother doing? Last I heard, Yuichiro's waiting for you at home right? I bet he'll be happy to see you again after so long!"

It was Muichiro's turn to frown with a hum. "I.. suppose so. It's been so long-"

"You two shrimps have brothers?," Genya questioned raising a brow and crossing his arms although not in a rude way, he looked more lightly surprised than anything."

"Why is that so surprising?" Genya paused as Muichiro pointed at him and uttered his next sentence. "Don't you also have a brother in the corps? I'm pretty sure it's Sanemi."

"Sanemi? Wasn't he the jerk who tried to kill Nezuko-chan?!" Zenitsu tossed another dirty look directed at the sweating Genya as Senjuro gave all three of them a look of alarm.

"He tried to do what?!"

"OH DROP THAT SUBJECT!! IT'S IN THE PAST!! Besides didn't you have a brother too or something that went into the final selection before you even did?" Genya half challenged half changed the subject to Zenitsu who flinched. HARD. "Yeah. He trained under the same master you did right? What was his name?....Kai or something like that."

Zenitsu stared wide eyed at them all.. before turning away with a quick sad look. "We weren't really brothers....I don't want to talk about it."

"I DON'T HAVE ANY BROTHERS!!" Of course Inosuke had to proudly and randomly yell it like it was something to be proud of.

A tense and awkward silence fell over the group as no one felt the urge to talk about their brothers or lack there of. A small cough was given to the group as they shuffled about...until the trio of girls looked at one another and the one with braids decided to change the subject.

"Nezuko-chan has a really cool brother," she said trying to lift the mood.

"Yes! Tanjiro's a really good brother! Nezuko is so lucky to have Tanjiro! I bet every wants a brother like him!," one of the other girls agreed making a small murmur of agreement pass through.

Yes...Nezuko was lucky to have such an amazing brother like Tanjiro. Anyone would be lucky to have a brother just like him. They all knew it... It's just a shame they couldn't have a brother like him, and Tanjiro wasn't related to them anyways. He was a really good friend however.

"Zenitsu, you're going to marry Nezuko-chan aren't you?" One of the girls asked curiously tugging gently on the blonde's sleeve careful to not jostle his still healing injuries.

Zenitsu was certainly surprised at the sudden question but still gave the girl a soft smile. "Yes, that's right!"

The middle girl who had asked the previous question hummed in thought and rubbed her chin. She was the only one who wore her hair down instead of in braids or pigtails. "But-...If you get married to Nezuko-chan, Tanjiro-san would be your brother-in-law wouldn't he?"

Zenitsu paused, blinked, before shrugging. "Well yeah. But that's not a problem with me. Do you want to know how our wedding will be?"

A silence had fell upon the others. Whatever else Zenitsu and the butterfly girls said was lost to the other four as at least of them went blank. Eyes wide open as a realization of what was said before them rang true in their heads.

"Tanjiro-san would be your BROTHER-in-law right?"

Right....

.... right-....

"WHAT'S A BROTHER-IN-LAW?!," Inosuke demanded looking confused by the term and three of his friends spacing off. "Can I fight it?  I'll fight it and win!!"

"Calm down will you? Jeez! A brother-in-law is what you call a girl's brother when you start taking her out!"

Inosuke tilted his head at the blonde. "Are you saying I can get a brother just by taking out a girl?"

"Well...Yeah? I guess that's one way to put it. You weirdo."

"HA! The Great Inosuke then shall use this tactic from his underlings to extract this brother! If everyone else can get one then I will too!"

Zenitsu only deadpanned at him but couldn't get another word out as three familiar figures came around the corner. Aoi looking annoyed carrying a basket and the Kamado siblings. Tanjiro looked absolutely happy just carrying firewood joyfully and next to him just as joyful as her brother and more pretty was Nezuko. Laughing at something her brother said. Zenitsu instantly gushed out seeing her, Inosuke still proclaimed his soon to be victory, and meanwhile the three others remained silent. Staring. Idea swirling about in their heads taking glancing at one another 

.... Maybe there actually was a way to gain a brother like him.

[kokuyuu]

I said that I was a multi-shipper but I’ve only talked about Kokuyuu (kokushibo x giyū)

So here’s a few more of my ships, idk if I’ll write anything for them but I’m not against it if others would like that (˵’〰’˵)

Obanai - Giyū, Mitsuri, Sanemi

Giyū - Kokushibo, Sabito(Alive AUs), Rengoku, Obanai, Uzui (and all of his wives of course), Gyomei

Mitsuri - Obanai, Shinobu

Rengoku - Giyū, Uzui, Suma, Makio, Hinatsuru

(Non Hashira(mostly))

Zenitsu/Tanjiro

Genya - Tanjiro, Muchiro

[eepyartz]

Hashira Au I shared with @lazylovedragon

-Au where the hashiras are alive and retired besides the two 14 year old ones (Muchirou & my oc Ketesuki )

-The kamaboko squad: Inosuke , Kanao , Zenitsu , Genya , Nezuko & Hīragi

-The old/retired Harshira just training the recruits

-Himawari could be an ice hashira but, probably does work with newbies

-Sanemi’s dad is alive (faked his death or was alive but, heavily injured)

-He went into the demon slayer corps to become a slayer after encounters with demons

[kozmicmizuu]

ok- soooo… my brain thought of smth a tiny bit fucked but the i remembered this is kny and atla so it’s ok to be fucked. so, in the series water benders are like- not really in the war, but they were basically taken from the south tribe for war reasons. the angst in my brain is that the southern tribe in this au is where urokodaki would train all of this students (yes, the past dead ones are alive in this) and then the demons attacked (they’re basically the fire nation in this).

(also in this au in my take (you can see how you’d like) the demons aren’t really demons. they’re human, but they use this fucked up branch or rather a “weed” of the breath-bending that’s the equivalent of dark magic basically.)

they just took everyone with no remorse for anything, and then they found out that water’s conductive. sooooo- torture via electricity was used to make the water benders weapons of war!!! yay!!

giyuu was considered one of the best in the small tribe (i think between him, sabito, and makomo, giyuu was the one to completely master water breathing and well- survived canon). shock collars were obviously used- cause this is demons we’re talking about.

giyuu and basically all of the tribe were just abused for years (lets use giyuu’s age as a reference). the tribe was taken when giyuu was 8- the controlling and abuse didn’t stop until giyuu was 19. basically instead of him finding tanjiro, tanjiro found him.

you can only imagine how just aggressive giyuu was, a major contrast to his usual calm and stoic personality. tanjiro probably couldn’t even get close without giyuu being violent so he called for backup from the corps/friends. let’s say that sanemi and shinobu and kyojuro were sent there (sanemi was there in case of a fight.) to say that giyuu’s condition was worrying would be an understatement.

literally every single water breather was fucked- they needed the moon for spiritual healing but we’re never given the chance to see it for god knows how long, barely any food or water. kyojuro probably threw up when he saw kids in there. sanemi was just pissed about this, a whole ass tribe was ignored by the world. also don’t worry, literally no one is dead from the water tribe. but idk of that’s a good thing tbh….

it took them literally forever to get giyuu to trust them, like trying to tame a wild animal. but the simplest thing is what got literally the whole tribe to trust them, the promise of seeing the moon and sea again. tanjiro was just happy to see the southern tribe from the stories, but so sad that they were like this for 11 years. the moment they even opened the door for the tribe- it was literally like setting caged birds free. though urokodaki was the one who told the four, “thank you” and followed his students into the beach on a full moon.

also the shock collars took some time to remove, no one really sat still at all, or some stood unnervingly still. shinobu knew that it would them literal years to recover from all of that trauma, potentially a whole lifetime. kyojuro probably sobbed his sweet little heart out when he saw them so happy on the beach (emotional bitch), sanemi was still fuming, mf was READY to put an end to this war. he just imagined genya in this situation and was like “no i im not letting this slide” and proceeded to sink the entire fleet that did this to the tribe (W sanemi).

sighhhh this thought happens from remembering the episode of when katara found another water bender from the southern tribe (holy fuck i can’t remember the name) and she ended up being fucked in the head after all.

so, does that mean giyuu can be feral and deranged when he’s completely ticked off?? yes, more feral giyuu content for the starving people. he’d be so much more intense with any threat (maybe like when azula was going a bit silly) but after the threat is gone he’s just “woopsie daisies my bad yall”

they ended up taking the tribe to the corps and basically giving them a safe place to heal and relax. gyomei ended up being good friends with a lot of them because water benders are very sweet to him and the kids thought he was cool (a little scary at first). giyuu, bless his soul, was found by tengen immediately. mf knew he HAD to befriend this guy, sabito wasn’t having it tho so know there’s sabito and tengen beef.

anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk about this fucked up lil thing… i’m not okay because i started typing this out at 8 in the morning…
