It's been YEARS since I made a good ol music video! And the show to pull me out of my funk is LMK out of all things. But god do I love this show! :,3
And I must encourage everybody who is a fan of shows like Gravity Falls, Owl House, Amphibia, Avatar, etc to go check this one out because it is amazing. #RenewLegoMonkieKid ((We have 5 seasons at the moment and we are praying for a 6th.))
A big THANK YOU to my quality control, Kaitlyn, who pushed me through 6 cuts. XD
One of the things I realy like about the character, is how he isn’t a straight up villain, he’s Death and in tern has a respect for life. Hence why he taunts those who disrespect the value of their own, or others.
In Jim’s case he was given a choice, willingly giving a part of himself to death so he can continue to serve in protecting the lives of others. And I believe Death has a lot of respect for that.
Merlin, not so much, but we can all agree with that one.
So have Deaths more, sentimental side.
( I might have got emotional drawing this one… ok definitely emotional it’s the god dam bathroom scene!)
I’m absolutely excited to finally show this illustration inspired by The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, commissioned by V.E. Schwab as a bonus print with every ticket purchase for her upcoming virtual tour in October 2020! I usually take the time to deep dive into these pieces; to explain the symbolisms and inspirations and hidden meanings - but I approached this illustration as how one would approach cutting a movie trailer. To tease your curiosity with its emotions and capture your attention with its mystery, and hope that as you read it, the story behind this illustration begins to unfold with the book.
⭐⭐
I hope everyone reading it for the first time can really take the time to absorb it - it’s such a heavy-hearted, slow-burning, and wonderfully atmospheric book. Since I did not have an audiobook version (which I’m STOKED to re-experience when its released), I could only read a little bit at a time on my daily dog walks. But it gave me the time to sink into each segment, and feel a similar stretch of time as Addie was experiencing through her 300 years.
⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much, once again, to V.E Schwab and Tor Books for this wonderful opportunity! I’m excited for it to finally be released to you all, and super stoked to have been one of the many artists in these campaign events who contributed what I would consider a ‘review’ with our artwork. It’s something I’ve always thought would be improbable to review an ARC through art in lieu of written reviews.
Hi, hello, I am on a brainrot and for the sake of OC creation I decided to put a year and age to as much as I can in Demon Slayer.
What we know?
Demon Slayer takes place in the Taishō Era which goes from 1912 to 1926
But there are two things in the world building that can allow us to determine when the anime takes place in and from there develop a timeline of what happens when.
Beware, this will have spoilers for the late part of the timeline!
The presence of Moga
What are Moga? "The Modern girl" was a movement that occured in Japan during the Taisho Era where young women embraced the western style as a form of liberation from the traditional, men driven ideologies in Japan in search for financial and emotional independence.
We can see a couple examples of what might be Moga when Tanjiro arrives to Tokyo!
Muzan's own wife seems to follow Moga fashion even!
But we can't be sure if that's due to her own choice or Muzan trying to push his wish for Modernity on her, you know that demon denies staying in the past so probably would ask his wife to Mordernize herself as well -Even though between women her age and social status back then, wearing traditional japanese kimonos was the "Normal". Men were the ones who normally to show wealth wore western fashion-
The term of "Moga" was actually not adopted until 1923, but the movement could be tracked to the publishing of magazines as The Housewife's Friend, which was founded in 1917.
So if we follow these mere hints, we could say that Demon Slayer takes place between 1917 - 1923.
But there is something else that could give us THE EXACT YEAR of when the story takes place!
The Yoshiwara District and its destruction
The flashiest arc of the story takes places in The Enterteinment District of Yoshiwara, one of the 3 three licensed and well-known red-light districts in Japan alongside Shimabara and Shinmachi.
Knowing that this is Yoshiwara gives us an excellent reference of what year the story could take place in, and while personally I am not sure if Gotōge did it intentionally or not -Probably it was- The destruction of Yoshiwara in the battle against Gyutaro and Daki could have been easily been hidden by the Demon Slayer Corps by one catastrophe that happened in Japan during that time: The 1923 Great Kanto earthquake
The district of Yoshiwara was destroyed to point of near-obliteration after this catastrophe in Japan. And while a great tragedy, it could give the best smoke curtain to such big battle as the one against the Sixth Upper Moon was, as we know- The Enterteinment District got pretty roughed up during that battle, thanks Gyutaro.
SO! With this, I can say that the year in which the main story of Demon Slayer might take place in is 1923!
So with that settled! We can go into the timeline!

And I might have skipped some stuff, or I might even have some stuff wrong but I think this is rather solid? Anyway, you are welcome to take this as guide or just think I'm delulu! After all I'm just a fan with brainrot doing this for the sake of roleplay and OC making lmao
Dark Landini Cookie is Dark Cacao Cookie's and White Lily Cookie's son. When he was a new fresh baked cookie, he was a very calm child. He was so calm that he didn't make any sounds when something bothered him. It's just part of Dark Landini's character, but the old king worried about him every time.
