#roleswap tomiokas au

[imu-chan]

okay I saw some art and am now obsessed with the idea of an au where everything is the same EXCEPT: Tomioka Tsutako didn’t die, the Tomioka siblings were saved last minute by the Water Hashira (Urokodaki), who took them in and trained Tsutako to be a demon slayer, she still gets married, Sabito doesn’t die but becomes Tsutako’s tsuguko, Tsutako becomes the Water Hashira.

I really want to see her and Mitsuri and Shinobu bond!!!! I want to see her rescue and meet the Kamado siblings and bring them in to the family!!!!!

I also want her to somehow interact with Rengoku so that he stops by one day for some reason and bumps into Giyuu, the quiet, pretty, mysterious, sweet younger brother of the Water Hashira, and they fall in love ahdnkckvirkemdmmvkvkoroeidicjjc

[muislowerhalfxo]

gonna draw all those designs in the previous post to cure my embarrassment of people knowing i do gacha…. someday....

[tanjirou-no-au]

Demon Hashira

Gyomei

A perversion of a Buddhist statue, stony skin shot through with cracks and six arms clutching a string of demonic eyes in lieu of prayer beads, capable of delivering catastrophic blows and massive shockwaves.

His Blood Demon Art is an insidious thing, a constant prayer dripping from his lips and sapping the fighting spirit from those who hear it. It secondary facet only activates once someone cuts through his skin, as any weapon coated in his blood becomes repelled from his being, making follow up strikes near impossible.

His Ultimate turns his prayer beads into burning projectiles that embed themselves in the ground and turn the earth into geysers of burning lava.

Tengen

A glittering thing, shining with the refracted light of the gems embedded into his skin.

With these gems he bends the light around himself, rendering him almost invisible to the naked eye or blinding his foes with retina scorching beams.

But his main method of attack are his wives, who rip apart his victims like drunken maenads as he supports them with a dizzying light show.

It is his wives which reveal the small glimmers of humanity that remain with him, as decapitating one will send him into a rage that sees him activate his ultimate, witch turns his embedded crystals into explosive shrapnel bombs that take root and grow in anything they’re lodged in.

Kanae & Shinobu

Kanae is the first demon of this duo most people see, pretty and human like save for the flowery crests that weave their way along her skin.

Her Blood Demon Art sharpens her fingers into long needle like claws coated in a venom that sprouts flowers in it’s wake, which she can manipulate to rapidly grow demonic forests or turn her victims into still living flower beds.

But should an opponent avoid her tricks, her back will unfold like a flower, unleashing her second, deadlier half.

Shinobu is a spiteful little thing, compound eyes and gnashing mandibles stinger tipped claws zipping through the battlefield, all to the maddening drone of wasp’s wings.

She is a slow killer, between sleep inducing fog scales, a dozen different poisons that provide their own hellish death, and an acidic digestive spit.

But her ultimate pumps her unfortunate victim with a venom that twists their flesh into a swarm of venomous insects that turn on any other human in the vicinity.

Muichiro

An...unsettling child, skipping through fog with a discordant laugh, ginkgo leaf patterns twisting across his skin and six eyes glinting mischievously.

Any who follow him into the mist fall into his trap, as breathing in the haze acts as a thought virus, obfuscating the senses and picking away memories, robbing more and more as the afflicted attempts to recall what’s been forgotten.

And as a last resort, Muichiro can gather this mist, coalescing it into a semisolid monster bearing features and faces stolen from his victim’s mind, a beast the juvenile demon has dubbed ‘Yuichiro’

Giyuu

A morose, ethereal creature, his pale, tear streaked face marked like a kabuki mask and his form framed by the nine tails fanned around him.

It is with these tails that he produces his blood art, splitting them off to create mirror images of himself or his opponents, which he can use to mob his foes and transfer injuries between them.

And as each tail is defeated, their simulacrum heads decapitated, he gathers them back into his form, transforming into a massive kitsune who shifts states between flowing water, freezing ice and steaming mist, only his demonic core remaining consistent enough to cut through.

Sanemi

Sanemi is the vision of violence, his face split in a hyena like grin, his once white hair dyed black by coagulated blood, his scars replaced by a dozen festering wounds that will never heal.

His blood is incredibly poisonous, and he is capable of turning the hemoglobin into vicious iron spikes, riddling his form with wicked blades that tear into his opponents and open new wounds in his own form.

With his ultimate he shoots his blood from his wounds in a fetid spray, each drop sprouting into a cornucopia of iron spikes meant to eviscerate any who come to close.

Kyojuro

An avian beast whose limbs are tipped by scythe-like claws, the flames of Rengoku’s humanity have been doused by transformation, his fiery hair reduced to blackened cinders matching the crow’s feathers that coat his limbs.

It is only upon the activation of his Blood Art that he regains his human splendour, setting his body aflame and animating his feathers, turning them into wings to lift him aloft and a flurry of fiery blades to rain upon any below him.

His Ultimate brings to bear the flames of hell, shaped into the forms of animals his human form might have imitated with his sword forms, chief among them a writhing, serpentine dragon.

Mitsuri

At first glance, Mitsuri appears as a...interesting but ultimately human figure. It is only a closer inspection that reveals the feline claws, the twinned bladed tails wrapped around her form, and the mouth on the back of her head that opens and opens and keeps opening.

She fights with a playful smile upon her face, a flirty taunt on her lips, her tails striking like whips to crush and cleave, and softening to shake any blows struck in response.

But it is within these taunts that the true danger lies, as her ultimate laces her words with a compulsion that turns even the most fervent Demon Slayer into her affectionate devotee, leading them to their doom as she sings her siren song.

Obanai

What else could Obanai be but a serpent, his lower half a mass of coiled muscle, a forked tongue flicking from between bandages that conceal a flexible, unhinging jaw. Even his hair is serpentine, writhing like a nest of vipers as his ire is stoked.

His Blood Demon Art is a stark contrast to Mitsuri’s, as looking into his mismatched eyes fills his victim’s heads with destructive, loathing thoughts that continue to linger even if one should escape.

His ultimate is perhaps more straightforward, summoning a writhing horde of vipers, maws filled with a paralyzing venom and the same denigrating thoughts carried upon their cacophonous hissing.

misc thoughts + meta stuff

AU Masterlist below cut

-

a lot of these don’t have a lot of posts because i keep making new ones instead of expanding on old ideas. apologies

-

WEREWOLF AU | the demon slayers are all werewolves. they’re turned after final selection, so inosuke’s a bit late to the wolf game. the story is otherwise largely unchanged.

SON OF THE SUN AU | kamado swap where nezuko is the demon slayer and tanjirou is the demon. the story is very different from canon and still very tanjirou-centric.

DRAGON AU | the demon slayers (and some of the demons) are dragons. not a lot of other thoughts, i mostly made this au to come up with dragon designs

ANCIENT SUN AU | yoriichi was turned into a demon by muzan way back in the day, but it didn’t really work out for muzan and now yoriichi has dedicated the rest of his immortal life to hunting down the demon king. also he runs into tanjirou at some point and shenanigans happen. this au is mostly an excuse for yoriichi-tanjirou interactions.

SUN HASHIRA + TSUGUKO AU | a huge roleswap au where most of the kids are adults and most of the adults are kids, various other switches happen, and the demons are . mostly unchanged because i kinda care less about them lmao. tanjirou is the sun hashira and giyuu is his tsuguko. also sabito lives as a demon

UROKODAKI’S FOXES | all of urokodaki’s students wear fox masks to honor their teacher. they also confuse all the other slayers. sabito and makomo live in this

MODERN AU | demon slayer takes place in 20XX instead of 1915.

HERE AGAIN AU | combination modern and reincarnation au. the events of demon slayer happen in 20XX, but also they happened a century or so ago and a handful of characters remember what happened last time.

STRANGE SENSATIONS | au inspired by the five senses fic. the final selection crew meet and team up during final selection and it eventually turns into a fix it (read it here!)

COME MORNING | demon slayer takes place over the course of six years instead of three. nezuko turns back into a human without much fanfare and wakes up to find her brother is now 19 instead of 13, as he was when she last saw him.

TANJIROU AND KOKUSHIBOU ON A ROAD TRIP TOGETHER | furious that tanjirou and kokushibou never got to meet so here’s them doing that and also kokushibou maybe defecting because of it

BNHA CROSSOVER | kny takes place in the distant past of bnha and bnha takes place in the distant future of kny. through . probably demon blood art shenanigans, tanjirou (later joined by others) winds up in the future and shenanigans happen.

DRAGON AGE AU | demon slayer characters and story roughly transposed into the world of thedas. i’m not sure how everything translates, but the demon slayer corps are either just the grey wardens or a special division within the grey wardens

DEMONSWAP AU | with a few exceptions, all of the demons are humans and all of the humans are demons. nezuko is a demon slayer being trained by the ice hashira, douma. she doesn’t know that her brother’s alive nor that he’s a demon. tanjirou is a demon who’s been taken in by the demon moon, tomioka giyuu. he doesn’t remember anything from when he was a human

MONSTER MASH | the demon slayer corps is made up of a bunch of monsters instead of humans! this au is mostly an excuse for fun cool designs and worldbuilding. lowkey, that's kind of it. some characters (namely the demons and the kamados) are still human

+.[AUTHOR'S NOTE]— this is the first multi-chapter fic I have written in almost 10 years. I wanted to write an accompaniment to my roleswap AU edit drawings and explain how I think the story would go.

+. [ EXCERPT ] — from chapter 2.

Tanjirou had always had an impressive sense of smell. He could use it to help people in town, identifying broken pots as being knocked over by a cat rather than a customer in the shop. He could track the scents of animals when they needed to find sources of food, identify what plants were safe to eat.

             Nezuko never had a sense of smell that strong. Her power was in sight, able to tell the emotions of her loved ones and act upon it. She always wanted to have a sense of smell as strong as her brother’s, because after all, twins were supposed to share. They were two halves of the same coin. Everything would be okay as long as they were together.

             The snow crunched underfoot. It acted as the only sound Nezuko could hear coming home from old man Saburo’s house in the village. He had insisted she stay the night, to be protected from demons who roamed the night. Hopefully her family wouldn’t be too worried that she hadn’t come home for dinner…

             There was no other sound beyond her footsteps and her own breath, mist forming bursts of steam from her parted lips. Something was wrong. Normally the birds would be singing at this time of day. Nezuko felt a pit form in her stomach, sitting heavy and cold there. She assured herself everything would be fine, she was just anxious over being gone from home for so long. Her gifts and earnings from the day’s sales would surely make up for her absence, and the coming New Year’s would be perfect.

             Coming up to the edge of their property Nezuko took a deep breath, ready to shout that she was home. She could imagine the eager cries of her siblings, their little running footsteps towards her. She could picture Tanjirou’s warm smile, and their mother’s relieved face. Tanjirou’s leg would be healed by now, surely, and they could prepare for the coming holiday tradition together…

             Her boots came to a sudden halt on the snow. Her nose was overwhelmed by the stench of copper, of decay. Nezuko’s breath quickened, eyes widening. In front of her house, sprawled out in a heap on the snowy ground… Was Tanjirou and Rokuta.

Thoughts on the Tanjiro and Nezuko role swap au?

Oh i love the swap au!! I think abt it alot in my own time. Ive always wanted to like, make my own content abt it but i tend to get pretty stuck on the mechanics of everything

Like, taking the world building of kny and applying it to a swap is super interesting to me, and i like trying to work it out. But there are a lot of specifics in kny that are harder to work around in a swap au. But thats not a bad thing! If anything it leads to more interesting story telling because it ensures that the swap isnt to 1 to 1. its just, a lot of work. and would take a lot of planning. If i were to like, write out a timeline of how i think the swap au would go, id have to figure out exactly how the mechanics and all the plot reasoning first. Cuz the way i see, it once you establish the world and lore rules, you can better mold the characters around that. 

To start, demon tanjiro is such an interesting concept on its own. I feel hes the easier of the two to establish a character for, because we have his canon series counterpart to go off of. We can pick and choose from the many traits we’re given in canon and apply them to demon tanjiro, and its really fun reinterpreting them.  Demon tanjiro basically takes the whole Im The Eldest Sibling trait to the extreme, and turning it into what giudes his reasoning now that he's stuck in a demon mindset (presumably similar to canon nezukos). Older Brother tanjiro is the best. :D  

I can still see him being that little ray of sunshine he always is and just, being stuck to nezukos side at all time, whether it be in protection, or just wanting to help her with daily tasks. Like a lost little puppy <:D. Hes just fueled by the desire to be productive and helpful because that's where he thrives, and hes just going to do what feels correct in his little demon mind. I can see him like, taking things out of nezukos hands wordlessly to carry for her because his reasoning is, “little sister shouldnt be the one carrying everything. Im the eldest sibling! I will do the heavy lifting for her!! >:[].” meanwhile nezuko just like, “brother can i pls have my bento box back pls i appreciate ur help but that's not what i need <:3!!” hes just trying to help in anyway he can, even if he doesn't fully understand why/what hes doing. 

I feel tanjiros presence would also be very important to nezuko. Shes young, and the only one there for her is her demon brother. While hes not able to speak, nezuko would still have one sided conversations with him. And in moments wheres shes unsure of what to do, she’d just think, “what would oniichan do?” because even if he can’t offer advice now, he’s still her older brother, and she looks up to him, demon or not.

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

Roleswap nezuko is interesting. We already have such a well established personality for tanjiro, but nezuko can be a little tricky since we dont have a lot to go off of in canon. Theres bits and pieces we can take and interpret to the best of our abilities, and it kinda makes it more fun (for me at least) cuz we get to see how people interpret her character in so many different ways. :]

i actually came up with a design for her! nezuko is canonically good a sewing, or at least knows how to. her haori is made of up her old kimono and obi. i feel the checker pattern is important to keep because its kinda what all the kamados wear. also shorts/hand cropped uniform pants. i wanted to do pants but they didnt mesh well with her black leg wraps </3 (also pluggin my old hair timeline post bc its relevant <3)

(i didnt design a swap tanjiro bc hed just look like ep 1 tanjiro but muzzled. but he might have an outfit change like nezuko did in ep one.)

My TLDR version of early story swap nezuko is basically: During the beginning of her journey as a official demon slayer, she is veryyyy determined to change tanjiro back to a human as fast as she can, and is essentially bee-lining it from mission to mission. People are fine, but she is not going to linger for too long if she doesnt have to. Shes got her brother! And thats all the company she needs :]. this of course changes as she meets, trains, and fights alongside other people. She learns to slow down and appreciate the people around her more and how they can help her cause too.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When trying to write out how the events of a swap au would go, i try to take nezukos character into mind ensure her experiences are different from tanjiros. Because they're different characters, different people, even if they face off against the same demon/character, they're going approach it differently, and have different takeaways from the things they experience

Now as much as i would love to write out/draw detailed scenes, that's a lot of work and planning and time that i do not really have atm. And i'd need to figure out A Lot of in world mechanics in order to create something I would be proud of. But in the meantime, i can establish a scene with nezukos' emotional beats to get a feel for her :D!

In the giyu confrontation scene in ep 1, nezukos first “emotional” arc would have a very different setup, almost opposite to tanjiros. When giyu steals the now fully demon tanjiro from nezuko, she’d be really angry at him. Shes angry someone thinks they can just take her brother away from her, dare to hurt him even, just because they think theyre stronger, just because think they know whats right (giyu ofc is just doing his best but. she doesnt know that </3). At first she’d try to retaliate, fight back immediately, in any way she physically can to get tanjiro back, but of course it wouldnt work out very gracefully. Shes no where near skilled enough to face a hashira, but she doesnt care. Her actions are blinded by her grief and rage from any rational thought. All she sees is this man stabbing her brother, threatening to kill him, and shes the only one who can save him. she has too. hes all shes got left. and this man is in threatening that. She’d tire herself out pretty quickly and fall to the ground, to tired to make another move. When giyu sees this, she’d get talked at for being too brash, running into a situation without thinking, without a plan, with only a goal in mind and no way to execute it. In a battle, you need to remember the people that youre trying to protect, not just the target youre trying to destroy. You need to remember who youre fighting for, cuz you cant fight for them if youre dead. Anyway funny axe throw scene now [insert plot things that happen that i have yet yo work out yet because the involve swap tanjiro. hes gonna be intersting] and we’re done. Even if her efforts to save her brother didnt turn out, there is potential to hone that determination into something, and giyu recognizes this. He believes that its something nezuko can effectively use if trained properly, maybe even help her find answers for her brother. After waking up, giyu would send the kamados off to urokodakis to be trained.

TLDR nezuko has really bad tunnel vision <3

We’re told in canon that Nezuko was not afraid to stand up to an adult if they were being mean, even if she's the smaller one in the situation. This trait is exhibited through her actions in Nezuko vs Daki, and I thought it was good scene to reference for how this scene might play out. i find the situation to be similar here. While it may seem out of her gentle character archetype, weve seen time and time again how fiercely she protects the people she cares about. hell, we even see her do the same thing in this scene in ep 1 when tanjiro is passed out!! In this moment if swap, she’s in shock, having just lost her entire family. she has already broke, this is just pushing it!!

i reallly wanna write more for this post but it is already. long lol. i have a few blurbs of texts about certain topics, and hopefully i can share them someday because i!! really like thinking abt this stuff! i really want to solidify and share my interpretation of demon tanjiro and how he works. things like how nezuko approaches battle and her overall fighting style. how the kamados fight together and help each other protect those they care about. maybe one day!

[embretheworld]

Giyushino Role!Swap Au

Giyuu calls Shinobu “Forehead”, full send. He thinks he’s SOOO funny and he is. Shinobu, annoyed and tired with his nonsense flicks his forehead in response.

Giyuu, using his thumbs rubs out the wrinkles on her forehead while gently scolding her not long afterwards. 

Giyuu is very much soft spoken in this au,  like he still talks at a normal voice tone his voice is just softer, he does this on purpose he can talk in the normal voice tone he does in the anime but only when he's mad. He does the softer voice tone for many reasons, but I don't want to subject you to that wall of text. He’s like a tired mom friend.

Shinobu on the other hand yells, she yells a lot, she’s angry. She’s just like how she was before Kanae died but this time Kanae is dead and so is Kanao and Aoi.

Only Tsutako is dead when it comes to Giyuu, Sabito and Makomo are alive. Giyuu acts more like his sister, he has the same smile as her after all! And looks just like her if she were a boy!

Giyuu can’t use any other breathing style except insect(the one he created in this au) because on the day his parents got killed he froze up and when he turned around the demon sliced three scars in his back, going from his left shoulder to his right hip. They injured the muscles in his back so much that doing any other breathing style would put too much strain on them and cause them to burst open. Since he was so young his body was able to adapt but only to that extent. 

Giyuu thinks the scars on his back are ugly, Shinobu doesn’t. 

Shinobu sometimes kisses his scars when they are lying in bed together, Giyuu cried the first time she did and occasionally still does.

Instead of owning a fish(Like Shinobu does), Giyuu owns a cat, her name is Sachie and she is white with hazel eyes. Shinobu keeps getting cockblocked by it ( /j ).

She once tried to intimidate Sachie, it did not work well.

 Shinobu wears her hair down while Giyuu wears his hair in a low ponytail but has braids on each side of his forehead and to the ponytail. 

Giyuu will occasionally do her hair is she lets him.

Giyuu likes to draw and paint, Shinobu will buy him supplies as an apology for being mean to him.

Giyuu likes to cook and as punishment for having to come to his mansion so often he makes her taste his food which really isn’t a punishment since he’s a really good cook. (Shinobu as well, they can both cook well.)

To make up for the fact he can’t decapitate demons or use regular breathing he’s very versatile in his skills. Since when he was a kid he did a lot of jumping and swinging from trees/parkour in general, he continued doing that and is very flexible. He also uses knives laced with poison he can throw from far range so he doesn’t risk getting hurt.

A good song/animatic to describe their dynamic(at least to some extent not entirely) is this one, Eliza and Hamiltion’s dynamic in the song, Giyuu would be Eliza and Shinobu would be Hamilton.

demon moons..?

[shibemuses]

canon divergence notes 2/??

KIMETSU NO YAIBA MUSES:

under a readmore for length.

Nezuko Kamado (demon): - Nezuko’s memories are foggy, but her personality is pretty much still there. She only acts the way she does (childishly) because she never got to. She always had to be an adult and big sister for her siblings and to help care for everyone in the family. It’s also a trauma response to witnessing her family being murdered. - After awakening her Blood Demon Art, she’s able to control herself more than in canon. She begins learning how to speak, and she keeps her muzzle around her neck. She’ll put the muzzle back on when meeting new people, but keeps it off for people who trust her and vice versa. - By the time she conquers the sun, Nezuko is speaking much more readily than before. She has begun dealing with her old memories, and acts much more like she used to before becoming a demon. - Urokodaki taught her sign language when Tanjiro was recovering from Final Selection. The Butterfly girls followed up these lessons over time, and when Nezuko has her muzzle on, she’ll communicate through sign language. - Nezuko can see ghosts. She’s always been able to, but after becoming a demon, she sees them much more clearly and can communicate with them. Tanjiro also has this ability, hence why he could speak to Sabito and Makomo.

Nezuko Kamado (roleswap): - Nezuko and Tanjiro are twins in this AU. They were born on December 28th, and they celebrate their birthday with their family on New Year’s… Hence why they were trying so hard to sell enough charcoal for the feast that year. - Tanjiro and Nezuko share the Hanafuda earrings. Nezuko took both into town with her when selling the charcoal from Tanjiro’s insistence. If Muzan had seen them on the boy that night, he would have been killed rather than turned into a demon. After that night, they share them to protect them both. - Nezuko was taught some of the Hinokami Kagura, just like Tanjiro. However, her body is much more acclimated to it, and she’s able to use it more easily than her brother does in canon. Because of this, I believe she would have been able to kill Muzan in the finale, but still loses mobility in her arm and eye because of the strain the style takes on her body, plus the whole eldritch demon constantly attacking you. - Much like in canon, Nezuko has kindness and thinks of humans as family to protect (not literally though lol) - However, Nezuko’s temper is much more intense than Tanjiro’s. She’s quick to bark back at those who do her or her friends wrong. She’s meaner to the demons she faces. The only reason she doesn’t hate them outright is pity– she can see their backstories flash across their eyes when they die, and she wishes them to be free of suffering eventually. - Bisexual. In either timeline/universe she could either end up with Kanao, Zenitsu or Inosuke (or any other character/muse her age). - She obtains a scar during Final Selection similar to the one Tanjiro gets in canon. It gives her a lot of insecurity since it looks “ugly.” - Her legs are still insanely powerful, and she’ll incorporate them into her battles.

Tanjiro Kamado (roleswap): - Tanjiro’s Blood Demon Art is a lot like Nezuko’s, however it’s red and orange instead of pink. - His hard head remains, and he’ll often use it in battle. When Nezuko falls asleep on the train and he can’t wake her up, he accidentally splits her forehead open with his hard head… Which causes him to cry and ignite the blood with his Demon Blood Art. - His hair is still long and kept in a ponytail. When he goes berserk in the Red Light District art, his hair comes undone. - The bamboo muzzle was a gift for their mother that Nezuko had picked up in town. Since it was on her person when Giyuu found them, the hashira improvised, turning the hair ornament into a muzzle. - Instead of vines, Tanjiro’s demon markings are red flames. After he goes berserk, the pink scar on his head seems more flame-like. - Pansexual, and either timeline has him with Kanao, Inosuke or Zenitsu, or both. Some include Genya or Muichiro, or Senjuro… Or whatever my partners wanna do lmao

Senjuro Rengoku: - Senjuro is Tanjiro’s age by the time the series really starts- 15. - He’s incapable of using Flame Breathing. His body rejects it. Or more so his brain does. He doubts himself, and his father’s bullying/neglect don’t help matters. - However, with encouragement from his brother or even Tanjiro, Senjuro continues trying to be a swordsman. - After wishing on a star, he dreamt of a way to fight that would suit himself. Something strong and beautiful, quick. Not nearly as explosive or intense as a flame, but something that glowed bright from afar… a Comet. - Hence Comet Breathing- his own style. It has only one move so far, and with inspiration from Zenitsu, he hones this move to perfection. - Slowly but surely, Senjuro begins to gain confidence and cheerfulness. He has started taking missions, and finally got his blade to turn colors- hot pink.

Giyuu Tomioka (au): - In this AU, Giyuu is swapped with Inosuke role-wise. Inosuke still exists, however he was rescued with his mother by the Butterfly estate, and was trained and kept safe there. - Giyuu ran away from his adopted relatives when they tried to commit him to a mental institution like in canon. He had seen his big sister get killed by a demon, and still believes in them. He resolves to get stronger and slay demons one day. - However, instead of a hunter finding Giyuu and taking him to Urokodaki, Giyuu was found by a wolf pack. The alpha female took him in with her own pups, and raised him as one of their own. - Giyuu remembers how to read and write thanks to meeting Sabito later down the line during his hunts. The two became friends, encouraging Giyuu to test himself and become a slayer too. - Instead of Water Breathing, Giyuu created his own breath- Wolf. He was able to save Sabito (or not, depending on the partner) and graduated from Final Selection. - He wears the pelt of his wolf sister on his shoulders, the head acting like a hood and mask. His hair is long and unkept. His eyes are still serious, but not hollow. - Giyuu is still pretty quiet and stoic, but he opens up much more when traveling with Tanjiro and his friends. He does well in a pack, regardless of the lone wolf he tries to be because he lost his original pack. His personality is like a cross of his canon one and a what-if personality if he had never lost Sabito.

siblings may be a bit iffy tho bc I'm way too defensive/clingy towards them and due to recent conflicts irl with my older sister I've been extremely attached to them hdjsjsjs

KNY AU Roleswaps

Feel free to ask me about any of them! I have so many!

This will definitely be updated!

Children of the River: Ageswap AU, following Tomioka Tsutako and Kanae Kocho as they pursue a cure for their demonic siblings. Featuring the altering of sibling dynamics, the Kamabokos as the Hashira, their places taken by the fallen...and Sanemi. Tanjirou is given the Rengoku treatment.

Stray Thunderbolts: Zenitsu and Kanao are not found, but find each other instead. When Shizuko comes home to her brother cowering and Demonic, she strikes a deal with a passing Hashira to see him both spared and cured. Featuring Thunder Breathing Kanao (Shizuko), Demon slaying Kamados with Lore, and an appearance from a favourite minor character of mine. Tanjiro gets the Aoi treatment here. (For now)

Diffused Sunlight: Muichiro and Yuichiro are born in the Sengoku era. Centuries pass, and the remaining branches of their legacies reunite to finish the fight. Featuring hard of hearing Yoriichi! Moon Hashira Nezuko! Thunder Breather Uta! And another minor character upgraded to the Kamado Squad! Tanjiro gets the Kanae AND the Sabito treatment here!

Branching Vines: Kamado roleswap! Nezuko finds new teachers and different friends, but the goal remains. Featuring the living replaced by the dead, Genya & Muichiro as Nezuko’s BFFs, and a Tanjiro who doesn’t suffer TOO horribly!

Strength & Hunger: The least developed so far. Kanroji Hakuji is a misfit amongst his family, with his curt yet protective nature and prodigal strength, but he is content with his life. Arriving home to a dead family and a demonic Mitsuri changes things. Featuring Demon Slayer Hakuji, Demon cannibal Mitsuri, an Iguro still simping for her, and a Tanjiro who’s fate is undecided. (I swear I love him!)

Here’s an old drawing I found for the Role!Swap Au

[saphirune]

giyuu...paws.......

i got lost in how cute i drew him in the group pic lol

[embretheworld]

Roleswap Au? I think so.

Context: I swapped Tsutako, Giyuu, Sabito, and Makomo with Kanae, Shinobu, Kanao, and Aoi.

These are just somethings I drew
