Let’s just look ahead. Let’s try harder together! Let’s fight!

[chaotickasugaicrows]

Welp, yesterday’s poll has spoken. You guys wanted to see the human and demon role reversal AU. We’re calling it Good Intentions. We struggled and brainstormed and did our best to change characters' roles without straying too far from their canon personalities. 

First up, the protagonist is one Muzan Kibutsuji. Muzan is an egotistical and cowardly little shit at first. He’s a kid from a fallen wealthy family but he takes extreme pride in his family’s name. His father instilled in him the belief that they’re family is perfect and that they need to build back up their name and remind everyone of how perfect their family is. Despite his ego, he’s actually quite insecure and compares himself to his little brother Kagaya. Muzan was born albino and not all that healthy. He doesn’t appear like he’s healthy and his albinism makes him look a bit out of place compared to the rest of the family which really bothers him. However, Kagaya was born even more sickly and that persisted throughout childhood. Muzan being healthier and being able to do things his brother can’t is what prevented too much resentment towards his brother. One day, while Muzan was away from his family, the Demon King came to their house, killed his parents, and turned his little brother into a demon. Muzan becomes determined to cure his brother to restore a semblance of his old life and wants to get revenge for his family. He also wants his brother back to normal because as a demon Kagaya is stronger than him. Yet, among those maybe less than stellar motivations, Muzan does in fact care about his little brother. He’s terrified of having to face life on his own and has nightmares about what would have happened if he had to kill Kagaya.  Now for Kagaya Kibutsuji, little brother turned demon. Kagaya is calm, quiet, and prefers to sit in the background. He’s not blind. He knows that his brother is insecure and constantly gives in, letting Muzan decide things or win arguments, because he cares and doesn’t want to see his brother suffering. Kagaya is pretty smart in making these concessions feel genuine so that it doesn’t come off like he’s pitying his older brother, so that Muzan doesn’t notice he’s doing this on purpose. Winning never really mattered to Kagaya. Kagaya’s got a more grounded confidence and friendlier demeanor that he learned from his mother compared to Muzan’s grandstanding that he learned from their father. As a demon, Kagaya resisted hurting his brother and held onto more of his humanity by clinging to the thought that he couldn’t leave his brother alone, that Muzan wouldn’t survive alone. Despite being calmer than his brother, both are rather dangerous opponents as they have a natural talent for battle tactics and strategy. Kagaya was more gifted in knowing when and where to strike for the most effectiveness, while Muzan was gifted in knowing how best to evade to give yourself a more advantageous position. Before fighting demons, these talents manifested in brutal verbal assaults that left no retort from Kagaya and dancing around topics of discussion in a way that allowed him to control the flow of conversation for Muzan. Kagaya’s blood demon art is Lunar Tide which allows him to manipulate water extracted from his blood and freeze it down to -173°C during the day or -273°C at night. He can induce frostbite to the point of necrosis, even in demons. Also, Kagaya is not carried by Muzan because Muzan said “being turned into a demon didn’t get rid of your legs, walk.” So Muzan went through the extra hassle of figuring out enough clothes and shade so that Kagaya could walk himself through the dang sunlight.

And now, last but not least for the moment, Demon King Tanjirō. Smol struggled so hard, literally agonized over making Tanjirō pretty much evil. She even wanted to make him win, which Lilith absolutely vetoed. He’s my blorbo, Lilith you can’t blame me. Anyway, this AU is called Good Intentions for a reason. Approximately a thousand years before the Kibutsuji brothers, Tanjirō Kamado was dying due to a disease he inherited from his father. Now, he might not have looked for a cure so hard if all his siblings weren’t also dying from the same disease. He was desperate to save his family even if he died first, willing to do anything. This led him to an experimental treatment that turned him into the Demon Progenitor. He turned his siblings into demons, all of them except Takeo who ran away because he felt that this was wrong. Kie also became a demon to stick with her children. Soon, however, they discovered that being a demon meant that they couldn’t walk into the sun (Rokuta wandered into the daylight and died, devastating all of them.) Thus, Tanjirō became focused on finding a way to make the cure perfect. To allow his siblings to live life to the fullest. Good intentions right? Good intentions that so easily became twisted. Demon King Tanjirō spent a lot of time searching and turned many others along the way. People he felt bad for, people with tragic stories. Tanjirō as the Demon King actually cares about those he turns. He feels possessive over them and over the years his perspective became one of us versus them. He wants those he cares about to be safe and protected, he’s biased towards them. If other people have to die, if things have to get messy, what does it matter as long as those he cares about remain safe and happy. He eventually grows more paranoid, protecting his demons from imagined threats. Tanjirō spirals into self justification for his more cruel decisions and does so for others too, him and his demons are always victims even when they’re the ones who instigate the violence. The stagnation of becoming a demon, this fixed and faulty mindset, can bring out the worst in even the kindest of people.

Ultimately, Muzan Kibutsuji starts off only caring about his family and later grows to feel empathy even towards his enemies, while Tanjirō Kamado starts off with lots of empathy and becomes colder towards those that are outside his circle.

Reblog today and no post because Smol was busy failing her drivers test. Anyway, Tanjirō will not abide by any Zenitsu self depreciation, pick up line or no.

No it should be illegal to have an episode be as sad and hilarious as this.

Bro the delusion

This whole episode caught me off guard. I'm so excited to learn more about the hashiras.

Tanjiro honey this is a crime. Lol.

Poor giyu he can't sleep.

healing with you - t. kamado

little blurb from this

you groan, trying to move your body, but you are just too sore. the battle with the spider demons really did a number on you. but you're a stubborn mf.

your fingers twitch, and then your arms. it's working! you brace your arms on either side of your body, trying to lift yourself up. nope...

your ribs are just too sore. you fall back on the bed, holding your middle. so you focus on your breathing, hoping that will speed the healing process a bit while you pout. the breathing part is a little hard, as whatever medicine you were given is making you a little loopy. it's very hard to focus.

it's been a couple of minutes before you hear your door creak slightly, and you think it's shinobu coming to check on you.

"y/n?"

oh! it's, "tanjiro? what are you doing here?" he walks over, and sits gently on your bed, careful not to touch you.

"i was checking on you. you were asleep for so long."

"what about you? you were worse off then me."

"i'm feeling great, thanks for asking." you don't know why, but something about him makes you want to touch his precious face. the damn medicine.

and before you know it, you are touching him. your fingers caress his face, his scar, his lips.

his hand comes up to meet yours and he lowers your hand onto his lap. is his face red? you can't really tell because your eyelids are becoming quite heavy (his face is red). you whisper his name before closing your eyes. you think you feel soft lips on your forehead before falling asleep.

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

when you wake, your body feels much better, and you can tell your body has gotten used to total concentration breathing again. and you can sit up!

you walk around the butterfly mansion, searching for one of your friends. that's when you stumble upon zenitsu, sitting outside looking gloomily at the woods.

"oh hi! how have you been?" you take a seat next to him, hoping for a nice civil conversation.

but when he realizes it's you, he immediately starts sobbing, throwing himself into your lap.

"i've been horrible, y/n-chan! you wouldn't even believe it! i almost turned into a spider. and look! my arms shrunk! it's horrible!"

it was a little awkward, having your close friend in such a compromising position on your lap. but you didn't need to endure it for long, because as soon as your starting expressing your pity for zenitsu, an arm reached around you and lifted him up.

"quit being a pervert, zenitsu." you look up to see tanjiro towering over you. you give him a little smile and lean against his leg.

"my hero," you fake swoon. it still causes him to blush, dropping zenitsu on his stomach.

you both ignore the whiny "heyyyy" that follows, because tanjiro takes a seat next to you.

"how are you feeling?"

"much better! it seems you're doing great too. you've been training a lot, haven't you?"

"is it that obvious?"

you cover your hand with the sleeve of your hospital gown and gently wipe your hand across his brow, which was slick with sweat.

"just a bit," you say with a cheeky grin, with your hand resting on cheek. he leans into it a bit with a smile.

you don't know how long the two of you would've stayed like that because inosuke tackles him off the porch.

"tanjiro!" you lean over to make sure he's ok, but he's already being dragged off to train some more.

"you know, he visited you everyday."

"hm?" to be honest, you forgot zenitsu was still there.

"he did. i've only ever seen him that worried over nezuko before. you must be special."

now it was your turn to be embarrassed.

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

you couldn't sleep. nightmares kept plaguing you to the point where you were a bit scared to sleep. so you decided to take a walk. you don't know why, but your legs started taking you towards tanjiro's room. but you only got halfway before seeing him in the hall.

"hey you."

"couldn't sleep?"

"no."

"me neither." there was an awkward pause, so you started tracing the wood patterns on the floor with your feet.

"do you wanna..." tanjiro trailed off, so you looked up at him, and he kinda blushed.

"want to what?"

"hang out in my room for the night?" you blinked at him, totally not expecting that. not that you weren't ecstatic for the invitation. you took a little long with your response, because tanjiro immediately turns red and starts waving his hands.

"not to do anything of course! just to talk! or sleep. you know, just to get out of the hallway. because i would NEVER,"

"TANJIRO! it's fine! i would love to."

"oh." he gently grabs your hand and pulls you to his room. he was setting up his futon on the ground when you asked, "where's nezuko?"

you didn't notice her box in the room.

"oh! she has a seperate room this time! aoi thought it would be best, so we could both have some alone time."

"i'm so sorry to intrude on that alone time," you say with a teasing smile.

"of course you aren't." he sits on the ground next to the futon and pats the blanket. "you can sleep here tonight. i'll sleep on the ground."

"the ground? it's your room! i'll sleep on the ground."

"i'm not letting you sleep on the ground. you're still healing."

"so are you!"

"i'm sleeping on the ground."

"let's just share it."

"...is that ok?"

"i wouldn't have suggested it if it wasn't, silly."

"right." he causiously sits next to you. "are you sure this is ok?"

"yes."

"ok."

there's some more silence before you turn to him. "you know, right before you ran into battle with that spider thingy, you told me to stay alive. remember?"

"i remember."

"because you had something you wanted to confess to me."

"...yeah."

"well, confess." he turns his head from you, hiding his face in his hands.

"this is so not why i brought you into my room."

you scoot closer to him, intrigued. "tanjiro, it's fine! what did you want to tell me?"

"well,"

"are you secretly training to be a hashira?"

"what, no! i wanted to say,"

"you mastered hinokami kagura?"

"no!"

"you're going to," you can't finish interrupting him because he slaps his hand over your mouth.

"will you let me finish?"

"sorry."

"i wanted to tell you..."

"yes?"

"i w-wanted to tell you that i love you." you were not expecting that (dumbass fr). "you don't have to say anything, i just needed to let you know."

you didn't know what else to say. you loved him so much. you never thought this day would come, because you didn't think he returned your affections.

"oh tanjiro." you just leap into his arms, causing you both to fall to the floor. "i love you so much."

"really?" you lean back up into your sitting position, pulling him with you. placing your hand on his neck, you slowly lean forward, silently asking if this was alright. he just closed the gap between the two of you, lifting you onto his lap like you weighed nothing.

the kiss started out very slow and sweet, until you grabbed his hair to ground yourself. that enticed a guttural whine from the man under you, who pulls you even closer to his body, and presses his lips harder against yours.

you pull apart, which illictes another whine from him, until you start pressing wet kisses to the side of his neck. you do that until he pulls you back off to press his lips onto yours again. you grind down on him, and he pulls off of you to say something, staring at you with his beautiful eyes, before you hear,

"I CAN HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW."

you both look at each other and start laughing. zenitsu, you lil cockblock.

[sneezemonster15]

No seriously, both their expressions lol.

They are so fucking adorable. Giyuu looks like he is trying to remember if he left something on the stove before getting teleported into the infinity castle. Lol

Tanjirou - This person is dangerous!

Giyuu - 😶

One of the adaptational changes I liked most in the anime version of Swordsmith Village's finale was showing Tanjiro basically having a panic attack when trying to shield Nezuko from the sun, while also being aware that Hantengu is still rampaging. The way they showcase this is hyperventilation.

In a series where control of breath is equal to control of the situation at hand, showing Tanjiro, a master of Total Concentration Constant hyperventilating is a cue. He has cracked, he has lost control of the situation, and this is what has broken him.

[madewithspice]

My besties, my I request (ik I'm requesting for once) the Demon Slayer boys( at least our main trio) x reader who very cold (I requested this once for Haikyuu boys and I loved it so much)??

-your favorite manic teenager, Indigo

Of course, coming right up.

Tanjiro Kamado

He is unbothered by your cold touch.

But when you’re out together, he’ll worry and give you his jacket to wear.

Will to hold your hands between his and warm them up.

The type of boyfriend to hold your hand in his pockets to keep them warm.

Zenitsu Aga-whatever

He HATES it.

Do not touch him with your cold hands or he will scream bloody murder.

He is stuck between wanting to hold your hand and not wanting to freeze at your touch.

So he gifts you a hand warmer so he can hold your hands without dying dramatically.

Inosuke Hashiriba

He is completely indifferent to your touch.

He will use you as a cooling system when he’s sweating buckets after training.

As a.. how do I say it in a nice way?.. as a person who lacked a societal connection of the human form, he is used to the cold and actually enjoys the coolness of your ice cold touch.

Will not hesitate to smother you in a bear hug or just straight up sit on you to warm you up.

Giyu Tomioka

He is not a fan of pda so very rarely holds your hand out in public but when he finally does take your hand, he carries on as usual.

His own touch is cold so yours doesn’t bother him.

It almost becomes a challenge to get a reaction out of him by holding your hands under running cold water.

After a few attempts, he’s prepared with his own extra freezing hands, making you squeal like a little pig and that’ll teach you to mess with him.

Obanai Iguro

He hates the feeling of cold hands, that is until he met you. He’s zenitsu but wayyy less dramatic.

Because it’s you, he’ll force himself not to freak out when you touch him.

On colder days, he purposely wears an extra jacket just to give to you. He claims to feel cold from just looking at you.

Will not ever say it out loud but drops hints for you to stay warm so he can hug you without the fear of freezing to death.

Hope you like it - Kiki.

Since we already posted some art, time for more explanation for the Magical Boy AU aka the Charm Warriors.

In this AU, the Ubuyashiki family are fae that set up a spell in part of a forest to attract potential warriors. Inosuke was the one to stumble upon this area first (he’s a bit sensitive to magic). He made his deal and got told to bring other trustworthy people back with him. So he grabbed his friends to show them the weird place. Thus, Tanjirō, Zenitsu, Genya, and Muichiro got dragged into everything.

In the forest, they got separated from each other, lost in a mysterious fog, and each ended up making slightly different deals with the fae. That’s how they end up becoming the Charm Warriors. Their magical weapons are based on whatever they had on them at the time of the deal. They also all use different names when transformed because names are very important.

Inosuke aka Masaki: His deal was for the power to fight more things. His weapon is a magical bedazzled baseball bat (he beat up some baseball player and took the bat from him right before he found the magic place in the woods). His powers are based on flowers, spatial relation, and illusions. 

Zenitsu aka Rizumu: His deal was for the courage to be a hero. His weapon is gardening shears because he was in the middle of taking care of the garden for his gramps but Insouke was so insistent about the woods that he ended up taking the shears with him. His powers are based on night, sound, and lightning.

Tanjirō aka Asahi: His deal was for the protection of his loved ones. His weapon is a frying pan because he had just gone to the store to buy a new one after Takeo broke their last pan doing pancake flips. His powers are based on fire, reflections (specifically kaleidoscopes), and healing.

Muichiro aka Mizuki: His deal was for the freedom from his brother's overprotectiveness (Yuichiro worries just a bit much). His weapon is silly string because he had a can of silly string with him for mischievous reasons. Now that it’s magical, it's an infinite can of silly string. His powers are based on water (in all of its states), darkness (specifically in the sense of vision impairment), and puppetry (specifically by strings).

Genya aka Kouki: His deal was for the ability to prove his strength to his brother (Sanemi also worries just a bit much). His weapon is a gun. He was at a shooting range when Inosuke dragged him out, gun and all. Genya went back to the range to apologize later but the magic made them forget so he didn’t end up getting in trouble. His powers are based on metal, spatial manipulation, and gravity manipulation.

Might make a post on some of their specific abilities another time.

[yuki2sksksk]

Hc that Tanjirou knows how to clean and bury the dead since he helped when it was his grandma and dad. But since this time there are too many bodies to bury, he asks for help from old man Saburo.
