AAAAAA FINALLY. FINALLY HAVE I FOUND SOMEONE TO SCREAM ABOUT MY SHIPS WITH. THANK YOU FOR EXISTING. feed me any inogentanzen headcanons you have. Please and thank you

ALSHFJALF BLESS,,, IT’S SCREAM TIME!! 

• Inosuke is a notorious thief of comfy things. he snatches Tanjirou and Zenitsu’s haoris and Genya’s yukata whenever they’re left unattended and just snuggles into ‘em. refuses to give them back. they are his now. he’ll take blankets and pillows and stuff too of course (the minute he learned what a pillow fort was he decided he was going to be the BEST at making them), but it’s especially nice having soft things to snuggle that belong to his boyfriends. the only thing he likes more than bundling up all cozy in his boyfriends’ clothes is actually snuggling with the three of them.

• nothing relaxes Zenitsu like listening to his boyfriends’ heartbeats. he could wax poetic for hours about all of their unique sounds. Tanjirou always sounds gentle and warm, like the sun rising and the Earth waking up on a summer morning. Inosuke sounds like a rushing mountain river: loud, but strong, steady, and soothing underneath. Genya’s sound reminds Zenitsu of tree roots shifting in the earth and growing through stones - it might seem harsh on the ears at first when the roots are cracking stones apart, but it’s really very calming (plus the idea that the roots are overcoming obstacles to help the tree grow reassures Zen in this weird metaphor). if Zenitsu ever has trouble sleeping it really helps to just listen to those three. the combination of all of their sounds is his favorite, ‘cause it means they’re all close by and safe.

• because he can hear so well tho, Zenitsu can also hear how their heartbeats all change when they’re around him. at first he only paid attention to how their sounds changed around each other, but eventually he started picking up on it happening around him as well. because the lad is insecure he still refused to think it meant anything for a while, but once they all finally get their acts together and start dating, hearing how their heartbeats all sound happier around him just makes him,,, REALLY emotional,,, like it’s so hard for him to believe even one person likes him, let alone THREE, but when he listens the proof is right there and he doesn’t know how to handle it in the slightest.

• Tanjirou, Inosuke, and Zenitsu all have different approaches to getting Genya (damn giant that he is) within proper kiss distance. Tanjirou usually either asks directly for Genya to lean down, or makes some excuse for him to do so (you’ve got something on your face, Genya, let me get it or can you come closer so I can tell you something? or something like that), and kisses him then. Zenitsu usually kinda tugs at the hem or sleeve of Genya’s clothes without saying anything or starts loudly complaining about how tall Genya is until Genya gets the message and leans down. and of course Inosuke either just climbs Genya like a damn tree, or he takes the “if I run and leap at Genya he will most certainly catch me in his arms” route. every single one of these approaches makes Genya blush. every time.

• even though they all can’t always be together on missions, they always make an effort to make sure there’s someone to go with Genya whenever he has to go for his checkups.

• all four of them sometimes have trouble talking honestly about their feelings for various reasons, even as they get closer and better at being honest with each other, so they eventually work out a few nonverbal cues that they can use when they don’t feel like they can put something into words just yet. they have signals for “I’m feeling upset” and “I need comfort/attention” for sure, and a signal for “I love you,” ‘cause sometimes stuff’s just hard to say out loud!

• that just makes the times where they do say stuff out loud more special, though. being emotionally vulnerable is tough, but it’s easier when they’re with each other.
