#based on the yoriichi and muzan picture

Just remembered that Gaia was actually afraid of Frank (and not Jason, Annabeth, or Percy) So uhhh… Frank coming after Gaea after he found out she traumatized Leo and Hazel.

So listen. Kokushibo loves that muzan can read his mind because that way muzan knows him very well without kokushibo having to utter a single word. Michikatsu struggles tremendously with voicing his emotions and feelings because he was taught to ignore them. Hence uttering them makes him uncomfortable.

The same thing is kinda when it comes to his purpose on life. When he dies, his last words were: "why was I even born?" The whole purpose of his character is that he lacks self-worth and a purpose in life.

When he learned about the affect of the demon slayer mark, michikatsu lost his purpose (once again) (I'm skimming over his purpose as the oldest. As the clan leader, as samurai (these were all screwed over by yoriichi (accidentally) and the existence of the demons)

So he was extremely vulnerable when muzan encountered him. Muzan offered michi quite a bit but what stuck with michikatsu was the new PURPOSE muzan was offering him and michi clung to it with such vigor, no wonder he does everything he can to maintain it. No wonder he is so adamant on maintaining the rules of hierarchy??

So yes, a michikatsu without purpose could be assisted with having concrete orders to follow. Michikatsu has strong and simple convictions that when he is unsure or uncertain of something, he stumbles HARD

Michikatsu HATES not knowing what to do. He HATES being forced with a moral dilemma. he HATES that he can't decide whether he loves or hates yoriichi (because yoriichis entire being just rubs him the wrong way, his brother seldolmly makes sense to him) there is little wonder that his own misunderstanding of yoris character and his frustrations at being unable to understand him cause for him to hate yoriichi. (YoriichI is kind of a freigeist, an idealist who does what he wants, who lives and loves freely and who acts so far out of his eras typical behaviour michikatsu does not understand him one bit and he HATES it.

Michikatsu is also someone who naturally observes and categorises the world

Quote: "those who have never experienced jealousy haven't met those in gods favour yet" (or sth) he deliberately separates humanity based on his own interpretation, he sees the bigger picture and as he is someone who always tries to see the bigger picture and make sense of the world, his own PURPOSE in the world is of great importance to him.

When he lacks that purpose, it helps him when he has orders that he can follow because it gives him at least a temporary purpose and respite. This is why he finds muzan so comforting. Muzan is predictable. Kokushibo UNDERSTANDS muzan. Kokushibo LIKES understanding things. Additionally muzan LOVES giving orders, LOVES gifting purpose to things, he is exactly what kokushibo needs. Kokushibo and muzan are both red flags at this point BUT THEY HELP EACH OTHER

muzan loves ordering people around. Kokushibo loves being ordered around. Muzan loves giving things meaning. Kokushibo loves it when things have meaning. Muzan likes being invasive when it comes to his subordinates and be absolutely certain of their loyalty, kokushibo NEEDS to be pushed when it comes to his communication. He finds RELIEF in muzans invasive nature. Muzan and kokushibo are just soulmates, ride or die, idc, give michi orders and a purpose and he happy
