#stupid crossovers that grabbed my brain but that I cannot write

[hedgehogcryptid]

Okay, since rewatching cardcaptor sakura as an adult I think it’d be very really super cool if Toya had his own spin-off about dealing with ghosts and other magical shit of the more traditionally supernatural variety. Spirits and curses and maybe even minor gods. Helping ghost-people with their unfinished business, finding the reasons for freak accidents. That kind of thing.

And then this thought mixed up with the fact that I developed an unfortunate obsesion for golden kamuy, and that gave me the idea of “post russo-japanese war era ghost Sugimoto essentially being a teenager’s sidekick”. Because, you know, they could bond over being responsible for independent pre-teen girls with a strong sense of duty. 

Toya would find this ghost wandering around for whatever reason (I didn’t think about why he would be, but in my mind he’s just kinda chilling) and after chatting for a while Sugimoto decides to stick around because he hasn’t talked to anyone in a while and this kid is fun. Toya might act irritated about his unsolicited company but having someone to talk to about his own particular brand of trouble is kinda nice. Mostly because he also knows that, while Sugimoto might tease, he won’t tattle, not even if he physically could (and he can tease right back, because both of them can be assholes if they want to). And mostly it would be Sugimoto being his usual dorky self, all PG-13. Until something bad happens and then it’s full bloodthirsty ghoul time. Toya wishes he could say he’s surprised but of course this is his life. His sister found herself a magical job, his boyfriend is dying of magical fuckery, and now turns out his friendly tag-along can do whatever the spiritual equivalent of disemboweling is.

(he might actually warm up to the idea of it once Ruby Moon starts meddling and suddenly a slight case of dismembering doesn’t sound so unreasonable)

lately my brain has been cobbling together the most random crossovers imaginable

Like “you know who would apreciate Sabo in all his deranged revolutionary glory? Zabuza. Zabuza would apreciate a feral bastard with a thing for hitting government officials with a steel pipe”

But the wildest crossover that came to me due to a series of unforeseen events* was Golden Kamuy/Kimetsu no Yaiba and like,,, it was weirdly appealing? The thought of Tanjiro walking around the 7th and being absolutely nauseated by the smell of lies and treachery, all centered on Tsurumi. He would be instantly disgusted by him and the thought of that was great. Because as much as he is a nice boy he has a very strong sense of duty and justice and Tsurumi shits on those principles on a daily basis. I’m pretty sure Tanjiro would consider killing him (I mean, come on, the boy threw an axe at Giyu’s head the momment he realized mercy wasn’t an option, he’s not squeamish, never was. And Tsurumi has ruined many people’s lives, twisted their hearts to fit his goals. Tanjiro would hate him).

And like, the thought of the group who goes to Abashiri finding this precious child in the middle of the woods. A kind, dutiful, responsible kid that remained good after suffering such terrible loss. Sugimoto would be all over that shit. Doing his best to make sure no further suffering comes over him, turning into a mushy pile of feelings when he’s thanked for his efforts. And as good as Tanjiro is, as pure and innocent as people perceive him to be, he isn’t easily impresed by blood and injury. He can get angry or sad at what it means (people dying and suffering) but he’s no longer impressed by the carnage itself. Sugimoto justifiably losing his shit? Probably wouldn’t rattle him all that much, Tanjiro understands wanting to protect someone at all costs. I can imagine him in the aftermath, being worried about Sugimoto’s feelings rather than his violence.

He’d become Shiraishi’s new patron saint, what with being praised/thanked every time he does something right or helpful, and not being made fun of for being stupid or scared or hurt.

And Ogata, jesus fuck. This asshole bastard man who’s main problem is that he can’t understand his own emotions meeting the dude who can smell feelings. Who also has a tendency to validate those feelings. Tanjiro would feel for Ogata’s guilt and his loneliness, even while being perfectly aware that they’re being lied to. But even so, Ogata is helpful, in the meantime, and he has a politeness about him (unless you are Sugimoto). Even if he’s distant, he tends to be quiet and not unnecesarily rude unless he’s being purposefully antagonizing. And Tanjiro can’t be antagonized, as Inosuke discovered, so i think they could get along. And Tanjiro would break Ogata’s brain. Because he wants kind people to tarnish, to prove that they’re not so different from him, but Tanjiro is kind while able to kill, and even kind to those he kills. And he’d show Ogata honest kindness and respect that isn’t naive. Asirpa is kind to him only while she thinks he’s more or less good. Tanjiro could smell the blood and the lies and the resentment and still respect him no problem, without expecting anything in return. (and even if he thinks he has to kill the sunshine child to get rid of the complicated emotions he gets from it, he’d still be pretty much aware that Tanjiro is also esentially a mutant that can probably dodge bullets. So it’s most likely not worth the effort to try)

*those events being that I watched those series back to back with my mother . I watched golden kamuy with my mother
