#i dont usually have tags for my oc f/os...

[wisemins]

I love hearing about kny ocs and now I have to ask

1. what inspired you/your s/i to become demon slayer?

2. how did your s/i learn their breathing style? did they come up with it themselves like shinobu and mitsuri or was there someone in their life to teach them🤔

3. (obligatory blorbo ask) when/how did you and zenitsu meet?👀

sorry for the spam!

I love love love these questions!! I'll always be down to talk about my demon slayer lore! Warning, this is going to be LOOOONGGG

So, canonically speaking, I was traveling the world with an OC f/o (Their name is Rin, they appear in a lot of my canons across universes, they're a sort of guardian figure! I don't quite...know their gender. I use they/he pronouns for them though.), and they decided to go back home, which is Japan. They met me while they were in America, basically took me under their wing and introduced me to all sorts of things. Going back home with them I discovered they had lived a whole other life they didn't quite tell me about, but I was now learning that they were once the Wind Hashira for the Demon Slayer Corps. Rin introduced me to his previous fellow colleague, Jigoro, aka Zenitsu's pseudo gramps! I learned a lot when I stayed with Jigoro, and I met Zenitsu and learned about his hardships, and I felt absolutely horrible over the fact that his parents were perfectly okay in pawning him off and basically disowning him, and sympathizing since I have my own experience with feeling those feelings toward parents. I witnessed the training, how grueling it was, and learned of the presence of demons. It was terrifying, but I was even more horrified that this poor boy was going to go through that all alone. And Rin saw that resolve I had, and the sudden need for me to take care of Zenitsu. They then had the idea that maybe I should join him in the league's of becoming a demon slayer, to help Zenitsu in his journey to protect people and to show him that he is capable of great things. Jigoro thought this was a good idea, since Zenitsu and I had already grown very close in the time that I was there, and I cared about him so much. They could see that, so in secret Rin began to train me personally behind the scenes. It was just as grueling if not more for me to train, and eventually I wanted to give in to the thought of giving up because I had no confidence in myself to become strong or powerful. It was also very hard for Rin to try and prove to me that there was potential, but one night they witnessed it. *I was sleep walking, and training in my sleep, miraculously. I was subconsciously motivated and in my sleep started to act out how I wanted to be*. Rin thought it to be the craziest, yet somehow most funny thing in the world. He had found a way to make me believe in my abilities. In that moment the Dream Breathing style was born, and I eventually got recognized as the Dream Hashira (derived from wind) down the line before Zenitsu got into the corps in record time. (time is a bit funky, don't know the exacts of it all but trust me bro) During the realization though on Rin's part, started the new separate ideas, the subliminal phrases in my sleep, the full-proof way to make sure I would always dream lucidly and perceive the world around me as it was within my dreams. Of course, there were things present that weren't actually there, as I was dreaming, but the intended affect of a dream allowing me to do things I would not be able to do (or believed I couldn't do) in real life would suddenly manifest outwardly as they did in my mind. Sometimes I would come back completely aware, and other times I wouldn't recall that it even happened. Sometimes it felt like sleep paralysis, like watching it happen but having no control, and other times it would feel like I wasn't even unconscious. It was confusing and disorienting at times, but it made me stronger and more capable than I had ever thought I could be. And it gave me the drive I needed to continue my training, even if I wasn't the most fit or adept in real life, I would push through via the strength allowed during dreams.

That very fact though, caused other issues. Over exertion, tearing/pulling muscles, not feeling pain until I'm out of it, and also not being able to stop when near fatally wounded. I cannot perceive injuries as potently as you would when you're awake. So, in that dreamscape, I feel invincible because I can imagine as much. This is very dangerous, which brings up a lot of worry and a pattern of injury on my part when the series gets further into the tougher situations. Other Hashira/demon slayers have had to help bring me out of it with certain call-outs that trained me to awake or snap out of it if need be, or there are elixirs made to do the same thing if that does not work. Giyuu volunteered at some point to be the sole person to do this, since he wanted to make sure I was safe, and didn't trust others enough to make that call in a time of need. In perfect circumstances, I can wake myself up, but alas, for story purposes that becomes harder and harder the more I face enemies and end up getting injured. It's very easy to want to stay in a dream-like state when you know you can unlock so much potential and really put a demon in the ground with abilities you don't even know you can have. But sometimes those are just dreams, and I end up doing things that are quite literally impossible even in that state, and I get put into dangerous situations. Quite a few Hashira don't like working with me for these reasons, they think it's too tedious, and I should just train normally and be...well, normal about it. Some believe that I'm a liability, and shouldn't have become a Hashira in the first place, but I have to just trust that the right choice was made and that those who do support me will continue to. Giyuu obviously does, and so does Mitsuri and Kyojuro (besties). Shinobu is very special for the reason that though she believes sometimes that it's an unethical way to fight demons, she helps me regardless. She'll make elixirs, and other things to help my case. She's one of the few who doesn't refuse to work with me. The rest though have their own qualms, which is fine with me. I still enjoy spending time with them outside of work. We just don't get along in terms of getting work done. TLDR answers; 1. To protect Zenitsu!

2. Rin had the idea, but we both worked on perfecting it!

3. I met Zenitsu very early on in his training when staying with Jigoro! So yeah!! I hope that covered all the bases, I'm always willing to talk about even more!! I tend to talk a lot about my modern AU and it made me realize I really haven't spoken about mainline all that much! TYSM FOR ASKINGGGG I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCHHH <333

Hi! I'm Cebi/Nero/Arlo/etc and I'm a queer guy (he/they/it) in his 20s who can't stop falling for weird fictional men 🧡 I draw occasionally and write very rarely.

I don't share him, and I don't want to be exposed to canon/canon OR oc/canon ship art of him either. Most of my posts about him have massive warnings and are unrebloggable because I dont trust the fanbase, sorry. I swear I'm not as mean as that makes me seem.

Self ship problems:

This is just personal thoughts. By no means am i bashing or hating. Just personal thoughts. That is all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Its sucks having to use my pen name or self insert name for fics/hc posts.

Because my irl name gets spelled wrongly irl so many times it's frustrating.

And other users n blogs who have the same real name i dont wanna confuse them or readers.

Like it's not huge of a deal it's just something I've noticed.

So i was wondering,Does anyone else feel this way sometimes? Having to use a pen name,nickname,or a self insert oc name to convey that that's you not another person? Or because people use their name wrongly or spell it not the same?

I feel bad for people who have to use one because of people refusing to learn the persons name in their native language the most.

Or worse it's not a common name and it's super unique. Or its really old fashioned and hardly used anymore.

I know my situation is probably minor. And others may have a worse situation.

But it just sucks having to use a pen name/nickname/self insert name all the time.

Especially for more self indulgent stuff. People trying to swoop in on your stuff. When it's clearly for you and you only. Not an x reader or you clearly state its something more for comfort. But you wanna share anyways.

I usually dont have that problem of people stealing self indulgent fics,at least to my knowledge. But some might have that problem. And i wanted to address that too.

If someone makes a self indulgent fic or post. For their blorbo. And that state in tags and in post that it is not for you. Plz respect those boundaries.

Again no hate,no bashing,i understand the wanting to share blorbos,f/os and faves. But some dont like that in the self ship community. And that's ok. We all need to be respectful of each other. (Sometimes i share sometimes i don't wanna share my faves. Shang tsung from the mortal kombat games/series i don't like sharing because well i dont trust people to do him well or respectfully,anyone else of my faves i don't mind nor have any qualms with sharing. Personal interpretations aside. Sharing Shang tsung however? Not so much. I get squick with others takes. And am very particular.)

Again this is just observations and just thoughts of late. This is by no means any personal attack. I have to state this.
