so, recently youtube fully demonetized my channel with no prior warning, and their justification was that it contains "misleading family content".
I'm not sure why I need to make this clear, but my videos are NOT children's content. I always make sure to mark every single one of my videos as not being for kids when publishing, and the analytics point out that 90% of my public is over the age of 18.
I made a response to youtube explaining all that, but it didn't change anything
getting a bit personal, but I was planning on going to college for the first time in july/august, using youtube to help me pay for it. So now I don't know what to do.
I'm really sad, angry and worried. If just by being animation my content automatically qualifies as "family content", then youtube's understanding of the genre is clearly flawed.
I'm not sure what I'll do with my channel now, but I'll keep you guys updated
Zenitsu if Kaigaku got Demonized Right Before the Hashira Training Arc
The consequences of Nezuko's triumph first appear through the most unlikely harbinger.
All morning long, Nezuko had been practicing her words with Inosuke. She wanted to greet people properly, after such a long silence. She gets her chance when the little girls chase after their toy, encountering a Corps member.
"Oh, welcome back!"
"… Yes, thank you."
The girls fall silent as if waiting for something. But nothing happens. Aoi allows her toy to fly out the gate, and approaches the girls. She blinks at the Corps member.
"Oh! It's… You? But you were so…" Aoi shakes her head, remembering her manners. "Thank you for the hard work."
"Thank you as well."
Nezuko can no longer control her curiousity. She peeks around the gate and finds… The dandelion boy! She loves the dandelion boy! He stares at her, eyes blown wide open.
She takes a deep breath and greets him, like she practiced. "Welcome back."
Aoi and the girls brace themselves, again waiting for something. But again, nothing happens. The dandelion boy looks at her with tears rapidly filling his eyes. Oh. Oh no! She didn't mean to make him cry! People don't usually cry when she greets. They smile and they pat her head. She makes them happy, not this.
So, she tries again. "Welcome back, Inosuke."
A vein twitches in the boy's brow. Aoi claps both hands over her ears, which the girls mimic. The boy snorts, and he finally smiles. But it's all wrong. He's clearly so very sad. Did… Did Nezuko make a mistake?
"It's Zenitsu," he tells her.
Oh no. She did.
Aoi slowly lowers her hands. She studies him carefully, folding her brow. "Are you hurt? You must be hurt. C'mon then, let's get you fixed up."
"No, I'm perfectly fine." Zen-i-tsu politely bows. "I shall be on my way now."
Then he leaves. He doesn't pat Nezuko's head. He doesn't smile the right way. He was sad the whole time. It was all wrong.
She looks at Aoi and Aoi looks at her. They don't know anything.

"You're strong, right?"
"Ha? What kind of question is that, you brat? We fought together, didn't we??"
The yellow loudmouth doesn't bark like Tengen expects him to. He simply nods before shuffling back a couple steps. Something's wrong with the kid, obviously. Tengen is about to ask but the words die on his tongue as he watches the boy kneel down and press his brow against the dirt. It's a full kowtow. Now, Uzui is sure that something is wrong with Zenitsu.
"Please. Could you teach me to be strong?" Zenitsu gasps out, as if holding back a sob.
Tengen clicks his tongue. The Master did bring him here to start kicking the lower ranks into shape. But something about the yellow boy just rubs him wrong. He turns away from him.
"I don't like that lame attitude of yours, so pa-"
Tengen doesn't get to finish his sentence. There's a thunderous, deafening boom behind him. Then he feels his headband ripped off his head. When the roar fades from his ears, Uzui finds himself blinking at Agatsuma Zenitsu, who stands in front of him, with his headband casually hanging off his fingertips.
"Flashy enough for you?" The brat has the balls to ask.
Tengen is gonna make him pay for that. He reaches over and snatches back his headband. "No, your face is still the worst."
And it's true. The whole time, the brat wore the same dead-eyed expression. Tengen has seen more emotion on people about to be hanged.
Hearing his response, the brat twitches slightly but no more than that. He politely bows and turns to leave. Tengen grabs hold of his shoulder.
"But! I suppose that I can train you."
The brat wrinkles his nose like he smelled dogshit. "No, thank you. I need to find someone who will actually take me seriously."
Then, with the ease of taking candy from a baby, the brat removes Tengen's hand from his person. He starts to walk away. Tengen grabs him again.
"Ha? I missed the part where I gave you a choice. Tonight. Meet me by the river mouth. I'll show you serious."
The brat keeps pissing him off. He doesn't even look slightly intimidated. He simply bows his head. "Thank you, sir."
Something is seriously wrong with Zenitsu Agatsuma.

"You've all grown up. Even that loud crybaby. He's all focused nowadays. It's hard to believe that he's the same guy."
Tanjiro grins. "Well, Zenitsu always comes through when I need him the most."
"Izzat so…" Goto the kakushi hums, thinking it over. "That's good to hear…"
Tanjiro smells the sour scent of doubt. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Nothing. Best of luck with training, Tanjiro."
"Thank you!!"
At first, Tanjiro dismisses Goto's comments. He doesn't see anything wrong with his friend working hard and focusing. But then… He just keeps hearing about Zenitsu.
It's always the same comments too. He's changed. He's so quiet now. He's gotten more mature. They all sound like praise but there's the faintest odor of unease wafting off everyone. They like the changes but…
Tanjiro is getting concerned. But try as he might, he doesn't encounter Zenitsu anywhere. He went through almost every Hashira training exercise, and now he's about to start the last one. But he still doesn't see signs of Zenitsu.
Inosuke suggests that he talk to Uzui. The former Sound Pillar also mentioned Zenitsu, but he seemed intentionally uninterested in talking about him. He mostly focused on training Tanjiro and pointing him towards the next Hashira. Still, Inosuke insists that the God of Festivals knows where 'Monitsu' went. So, Tanjiro doubles back to Uzui.
He doesn't find Uzui. He finds Zenitsu. His friend is walking out of the forest. After all that worry, Tanjiro feels a little dumb because Zenitsu looks fine. He looks like every other Corps member in training - no shirt, sweaty, but not injured in any way. Then Tanjiro picks up an iron-tinted scent. It's not blood, but it's just as sour. It reminds him of the wind before a storm - thick and prickly.
"Zenitsu?" Tanjiro murmurs, tracing the scent's source back to him.
"Ah, hello Tanjiro." Zenitsu nods politely. "I see that you're doing well. Good."
Tanjiro blinks at him. "Oh um, yes. Were you training with Uzui-san?"
Zenitsu grimaces for a second before returning to his bland expression. "We were. Not anymore. Are you looking for him? I'm afraid that he went for a walk."
"That's… too bad."
"Yes. Please excuse me."
Then without saying much else, he moves to walk away. Unease rips through the bottom of Tanjiro's belly. It should be good thing that Zenitsu seems to be taking this training seriously. But Tanjiro hurts all over, just looking at him.
"Is something wrong?" Tanjiro asks before Zenitsu leaves him behind.
A dozen steps separate them but it may as well be a whole rice field.
Zenitsu stops. His back faces Tanjiro. "It's fine. It doesn't concern you."
"But…"
"You're a really good guy, Tanjiro. You've done enough. But this is something only I can do."
Tanjiro did not survive all that he has by giving up so easily. "You didn't visit me, when I was recovering. I missed you! Can we just-"
"Tanjiro." At last, Zenitsu looks over his shoulder to face him. "We both have jobs to do. You must focus on defeating Muzan. There's no time to waste."
He's right. Zenitsu is right. Muzan is coming for them. Tanjiro needs to finish his Hashira training. And yet… And yet…
Zenitsu's face melts from its strangely stoic expression. He smiles and yet somehow, it's all so much worse. Tanjiro's heart is so noisy in his ribs.
"You can do it. If anyone can, it's you."
Then Tanjiro blinks and Zenitsu is gone. He's a small blur in the distance. That was Uzui's speed technique, the same one he used on their way to Yoshiwara. Now Zenitsu can do the same thing. That's incredible. That's good. That will help them in the upcoming fight. Tanjiro should be so, so proud of his friend.
But all he can taste is blood and ashes.
⚡⚡⚡
"Do you have any family?"
"Yes. My three wives."
"Oh."
What a lame answer. Tengen wants to crawl up the walls. They're outside right now, deep within the mountain forest. So there's no walls to crawl on. But by Buddha's hairy balls, Tengen wants to.
Zenitsu is driving him to madness. He didn't think that the loud idiot could get worse. But he did! He went all quiet and competent and only he could make that worse! He doesn't react to Tengen's boasts or taunts. It's like training a wind up doll.
Adding insult to injury, Zenitsu's a pretty good student. Tengen tells him to adjust his footing. Zenitsu adjusts his footing. Tengen lies and tells him to dance the Western waltz. Zenitsu ignores him and repeats his katas. Tengen teaches him the basics of his musical score technique. And Zenitsu learns it the way fish learn to swim, like a missing puzzle piece finally found its way home.
Tengen wants to tear out his beautiful hair. It's so goddamn boring. And also, he's just a little pissed. If this kid could always be this good, then why was he such a loser back in Yoshiwara?? Tengen could've kept his arm if Zenitsu had been this good.
The kid flinches as if he heard Tengen's inner rant. What's up with that? How come the kid can do that? Even Tengen has to focus if he listened for people's thoughts. But this shit is automatic for Zenitsu. What kind of crap is that?
Tengen clicks his tongue. "I had a brother."
That gets the kid's attention - the little rat-faced bastard. Tengen can't believe that he misses the kid who would throw tantrums at the mention of his wives. But…
"Did he die?"
"Fuck if I know. He was an asshole. He was cruel. I ditched him."
The fine hairs on Tengen's neck starts to stand up. "Yeah? Clear out those special ears of your. I know that you heard me the first time."
"How could you??"
Huh? "Huh?"
"You're his brother! And you abandoned him?? He needed you!"
"What the fuck are you talking about?! Did you miss the part where he's an asshole??"
"So what?! You were the only brother that he had! It was your job to look after him! It was your job to keep him safe! Maybe if you had just tried harder, he could've turned out better!! Maybe you would together no-hgk!"
Tengen has a hand around Zenitsu's neck. He doesn't remember moving. He doesn't remember crossing the distance between them and pinning the mouthy twerp against a tree. He blinks and his nails dig into the soft flesh of Zenitsu's throat.
Zenitsu doesn't look the least bit scared. His eyes stare at Tengen like he knows. That can't be possible. Only the Master heard Tengen's story.
"What the fuck do you know."
And Zenitsu sees. Worse, Zenitsu hears with those stupid, special ears. And even worse than that, Tengen notices the exact moment when Zenitsu's sound switches from fury to pity.
"I don't. You're right. I'm sorry."
What a filthy fucking liar. Tengen tosses him aside. In the split second he's in the air, Zenitsu decides to go limp. He could've landed on his feet but he doesn't to spare Tengen's ego.
Tengen has never hated anyone more than at this exact second.
"We're done here," he tells him.
Zenitsu doesn't reply. Tengen gets the last word in but he can't shake the sense that he lost. Grinding his teeth, he walks away. The truth of Zenitsu's words haunt his every step.
"Did he? I mean, he's skipping out on the Stone Breathing exercise."
"Yeah, well… This was supposed to be optional. Because Himejima-sama made it so hard."
"Yeah, and he bailed on the first optional exercise. He's not that different."
"Have you seen him lately? He's all quiet and serious now. You wouldn't say that if you saw him."
"You know what I hear? He's getting special training from Uzui-sama."
"What? No way!"
"Yeah, Sho said that Ken told him that Yu saw Uzui-sama leaving the forest together with Zenitsu. And there's been crazy explosions coming from the forest before they left."
"Wow… He really has changed."
"Right? Isn't that great? Man, I hope that he stays like this all the time. I'm getting tired of waiting for him to knock himself out before he becomes remotely tolerable."
"Bro…"
"I didn't say anything that you weren't thinking!"
Zenitsu sits on the shores of the river. He's on the opposite side of the hut where the Corps members sit around, eating dinner. But he can hear them as if he was sitting right next to them.
And they're right. Zenitsu is better this way. It's just too bad that it's too late. If he had just been better earlier - if he was braver, stronger, quieter, then maybe…
Zenitsu drinks his handful of water, nods at Himejima-sama hiding behind a tree, and walks away. Himejima-sama needs to find better hiding places. Well, he is blind.
⚡⚡⚡
Gyomei senses the Thunder boy leave. He's adapted remarkably to Uzui's techniques. He understands that a recent tragedy befell him. But the details were not so important that Gyomei sought those out. Maybe he should've. Maybe he will, after tonight.
He hears the sound of a fist hitting flesh.
"Don't talk about Zenitsu like that!" Tanjiro's voice cuts through the still night air.
"Ow, what the hell! You of all people should agree with me! You've been babysitting his ass this whole time. Isn't he better now??"
"You mean when's clearly upset about something?"
"Kamado, I like you. But you're so dumb. We're all upset about something. Our loved ones are dead because a demon killed them. We all had to change on account of that. Zenitsu doesn't get to be different!"
"It's not a good thing!"
"No, 'course not. But sometimes, bad things are the only way people become better."
"I… I disagree!"
Gyomei doesn't. If those demons hadn't killed his children, he would've remained a weak man, ignorant of his strength. He wouldn't have saved so many people. The Kocho sisters would be dead. But…
He would've been so blissfully happy. This is the truth of this world. Ignorance is bliss. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what brought the Thunder-boy to this point. He's here now and he can help.
Gyomei decides not to seek out further information. In the end, Zenitsu's story could not be that much different from his.
⚡⚡⚡
Nezuko finds Zen-i-tsu by the river mouth. She's supposed to take the medicine today. But she snuck out before Urokodaki-san returned. She wanted to see him again, just one more time before she has to sleep.
Zen-i-tsu notices her before she gets too close. He smiles and Nezuko wants to cry.
"Hello again. Shouldn't you be with that Water guy? Tanjiro's trainer, right?"
It's now or never. "Goo-d Mor-ning, Zen-i-tsu."
There's silence. Zen-i-tsu stares at her for too long. Nezuko fidgets with the sleeves of her kimono. That was supposed to fix everything. He was supposed to yell and jump for joy. He doesn't. He closes his eyes, tilts his head back to face the sun, and he breathes in deep.
"At least, I got to hear it once…"
Nezuko frowns, tilting her head. Then she steps back when Zenitsu appears right in front of her. She didn't see him move!
"Thank you…" Zenitsu whispers. "I wish you every happiness, Kamado Nezuko."
When she blinks, it's like he was never there at all. She would like that medicine now. Maybe it will fix the way her heart just broke.
Heh Season 2 episode 10 was the start of my contemplation of the idea of Charming gold and pala being potential friends.
I mean, we all know that the reason charming gold chose to team up with pala is for the upcoming stage with the guardians, and really its the start for Charming Gold to form an opinion on pala and notice his presence.
For how the series emphasize the fact that even pala's friends had forgotten he was participating in the movie. I think that's the first step if anything. There's also the fact that CG (his name is a mouthful istg) basically admitted to my funky little mind that he finds pala one of the least tolerable out of the running men.
And then we have CG whole situation of turning into a Pululu in pursuit for power and discovering that Pala's special herbal mixture can reverse the effects.
now time to enter the realm of fanfic-ism, I'll say that after the events of Season 2 Part 2 CG has been trying and failing (cartoon logic style) to steal Pala's cane continuously and eventually schemed that it's much more effective to LEARN how to make that mixture from scratch.
So, he decided to declare himself Pala's roommate in the duration of pala's stay in tree city (assuming the fact that the running men are staying there longer for popo to miss his home tribe's beaches.) With Pala's personality of going along with stuff I think the potential duo would've just generated mild chaos, as CG acting as Pala's shoulder demon.
And I also think that Pala just doesn't have much of a hateful bone in his body towards anyone really. I think the only opinions of CG Pala has been "the guy who is desperate for power" and "the 1000-year-old person".
Though, CG can try learning the mixture via watching Pala do whatever (like a creep :PP) It'll take him very long to realize that he needs a staff made from the wood of the soul tree for the mixture to even work as effective as Pala's. (Oh that prev. sentence is for later ramble posts for this fandom.)
now at the end, as close to the series as possible the running men has to defeat a God to save the world, and that God decided to terminate Pala first and its up for CG if he wants to save Pala or not.
nghhhhh such a FUN idea I hope I didn't mischaracterize these two but then again its still fun to type this daydream despite potential mischaractered.
...I want a fanfic of this now the problem is just the possibility of procrastinating on it hard to the point of losing love for the series and also being suck at writing in general...
Recently watched the running man animation and really... the impa tribe has some explaining to do, their ancestors knowingly took the artifact that is the only key to stop olkus, carved it to be a staff that is given to the greatest herbalist. 100th running man championship later our lovely Pala (PRESENT GREAT HEARBALIST) participated in the game. DO THEY KNOW???? I have many thoughts about this show; thats for tomorrow though sleep time for me :DD

Scrolling through my saves in reddit and thinking if i should screenshot the ones i like and post it here... hoping for the blessed fanfic writers to grace this concerningly barren land...
(Sorry in advance for the terrible camera angle...)
What i love about play throughs about undertale yellow is that people deems the silver bullet ammo useless to use in genocide/vengence route... when in actuality the silver bullets deals more damage than the friendliness pellets...
(Again terrible camera angle...)
On the side note fun text i randomly found in the game...
