The Angry Boyfriend x Happy Dog Boyfriend dynamic has me in a perfect chokehold

#YushiMura my belovedssss #they interacted for five seconds and that's all we need

I love Kimetsu no Yaiba. Some characters are a bit annoying but Tanjiro is an absolute darling of a boy, so good and gentle to his very core and I love him. And then I watch the first episode again and see him throw an axe straight at a guy's head with full intent to kill and remember "oh! Tanjiro is actually a hardcore motherfucker who wakes up every day and chooses kindness. Silly me, how could I forget!"

I love that other characters' first perception of him is that he's weak willed and hesitating, when he's actually fully capable of making hard choices, he's just too nice to take drastic measures first thing if there's a kinder option available. Once the kinder options dried up though he has zero chill.

He bows and begs to Giyuu, because clearly he's a fellow human being capable of thought and mercy. When he states that no, he is actually an enemy and has no intention to be reasoned with, Tanjiro does his best to take him out. He doesn't manage, but not for lack of trying. And he's actually smart about it, which means he had put thought into how to most effectively kill this random guy in the forest.

Then Urokodaki leaves him to kill a demon and tells Tanjiro he hesitated too long. Which is true, but Tanjiro wasn't worried about the killing itself, he was pondering about methods. He thought beating a dude's head into paste was a bit too much.

And then Urokodaki asks him what he would do if Nezuko killed a person and Tanjiro can't answer. Urokodaki framed it as a weakness, because someone who wants to be a demon slayer can't hesitate to kill a demon. But of course Tanjiro wouldn't answer! He's not there to kill demons. He's not even there to help people! He's there because he wants to make his sister human again, so why on earth would he think of killing her as a solution to anything?! At that point he didn't even say he wanted to become a demon slayer, I think (at least in the anime, maybe the manga has more/different dialog), so Urokodaki's point is null. Tanjiro's just there because he was told that's where he could start fixing his problem. It's everyone else who thinks he's there to kill demons and that's why they think he's not taking the job with due seriousness

Tanjiro is such a green flag, I need to see him bossy, dominant and pissed off, thank you very much.

TECHNICALLY IT'S POSSIBLE FOR HASHIRA TIMELINE TO LOOK LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF LOSE TIMELINE:

•The stone piller Gyomei became a hashira at age 19 and was 27 to 28 years old in current events (9-8 years)

•The sound piller Tengen became a hashira at age 18 and was 23 in current events (5 years)

•The water piller Giyuu became a hashira at age 14-15 and was 21 in current events (6-7 years)

•The flower piller Kanae became a hashira at age 16ish and died at age 17 (1-2 years)

•The wind piller Sanemi became a hashira at age 18 and was 21 in current events (3 years)

•The insect piller Shinobu became a hashira at age 16 and was 18 in current events (2 years)

•The flame piller Kyojuro became a hashira at age 18ish and was 20 in current events (2.5 years)

•The serpent piller Iguro became a hashira at age 18 and was 21 in current events (2 years)

•The mist piller Muichiro became a hashira at age 12 and was 14 in current events (2 years)

•The love piller Mitsuri became a hashira at age 18 and was 19-20ish in current events (1.5ish years)

So the order would be:

1.) Gyomei

2.) Giyuu

3.) Tengen

4.) Kanae

5.) Sanemi

6.) Shinobu

7.) Kyojuro

8.) Iguro

9.) Muichiro

10.) Mitsuri

Which means the Hashira line up could've looked like THIS at some point:

1.) A GIANT, blind Buddhist monk with a mace chained to a cleaver who is built like a brick shit house

2.) a thunder breathing master with a short temper

3.) canonically one of the MOST TERRIFYING MOTHERFUCKERS who's about to quit due to the death of his wife

4.) a depressed 15 year old with too many issues

I also think, following this framework, this is why Sanemi takes his "im not like you" attitude as a superiority thing rather than Giyu's actual inferiority complex; before Muichiro, Giyu was the prodigy, and still kind of is in many ways. After all, just like muichiro, he also became a Hashira quickly and at a young age, and added his own special move to an already established breathing style.

#Giyu and Muichiros stories mirror each other in more than a few ways and I wish it was explored more.
