#ouuughhhh me when tragic siblings

[risingscorchingsuns]

RRRAAGHHH it’s 3am and my thoughts aren’t coherent but im thinking about Senjuro …. this boy deserves the whole world. he grew up so scared. i think all the time about what happened to him after Kyojuro’s death. that one manga panel literally haunts me hold on I have it saved somewhere

starts crying so hard. kyojuro was his whole world, all the hope he had left. his only refuge from shinjuro’s misery. i think all the time about senjuro and how we didn’t see nearly enough of him

but this boy is so much stronger than the world gives him credit for. not only did he survive living with Shinjuro after Kyo’s death, but he learned how to stand up for himself, with tanjiro’s help. he found happiness again, he found his own hope. he didn’t burn himself out trying to force himself to replace Kyojuro.. he accepted that his place in the world was helping people without joining the corps. not only that but he KNEW Kyojuro would be proud of him anyway.

and he was right! he was so, so right. kyojuro was so, so, endlessly proud of his little brother. it never once mattered that he couldn’t use a sword. kyojuro just wanted senjuro to follow his own path- as long as senjuro felt like himself, Kyo would always be proud of that. and Senjuro knew that. from the moment Senjuro was born to the moment Kyo died they knew that they had each other. it’s what brothers do.

anyway i need to go to bed but my god. the rengoku brothers make me sob so hard
