Shining Armor Prompts @killedarlings​​​ offered: “ what the hell were you thinking?! you could’ve been killed! “ ( from Sanemi! )

The faint chime of bells rang in a soft chorus as her feet dragged across grounds surface. Sword in hand, was dug into the dirt to keep her balance steady and Youko heaved herself back into a standing position. Although her current state of health was more of a HINDERANCE at this point, she still felt a strong obligation and sense of duty to join along on this particular mission.

Despite the stern tone present in his voice, Youko flashed a smile of gratitude. “ Worry not, as I do not plan on dying just yet. ” An earnest reply. With all the trials and tribulations that she’d faced in the past. No matter the condition of her health. She was not going to face such an ignorant death. “ Truly though, and I mean it... thank you, Sanemi. ”

“ i told you before. i’m not gonna let anything in this world nor the next harm you. “

“ you need to get out of here! go! i’ll buy you some more time! “

“ what are you doing?! i told you, get out of here! now! “

“ get it through your head, i’m not gonna just leave you here! “

“ now’s not the time to play the martyr, got it? you’ve got a good long life ahead of you, and i intend to keep it that way. “

“ you need to go now, okay? don’t worry. i’ve got this. they’ll want to be trying a lot harder if they want to keep me from protecting you. “

“ don’t worry about me; are YOU okay? “

“ damnit, [NAME]! i TOLD you not to play the hero! “

“ i can look after myself, you know. but… i do appreciate you stepping in back there. you saved my life. “

“ yeah, yeah, i’m okay… are you okay? “

“ hey! why don’t you try picking on someone your own size! “

“ hurry! take my hand! “

“ i’m sorry i was late… are you alright? they didn’t hurt you too badly, did they? “

Soft lilac eyes watched as the younger spoke. A brief moment of silence passing between the two as she gave the situation an earnest thought before speaking. Such delicate subjects having to be handled with equally soft and tender responses. Not like Youko minded in the least. Rather, she was glad that others could share moments such as this with her. “ My dear, should something be bothering you, my doors are always available. ” Flashing him a small smile, one of warmth yet sympathy, she continued. “ Would you like to talk about it? ”

When do you gaze at your soulmate?

when they're working

see this is what you love most. their eyes light up and no one can do it quite like them. whether they are a fighter or a healer. whether they are full of grace and gentle poise, or brute strength and wild energy, you love them when they are at their purest form. raw and unfettered. unadulterated by social cues and careful masks we all wear. when they are just them, trusting their instincts, using their experience, relying on the skills they earned. this is when you heart swells with pride. and you can never decide if you want to interrupt them and draw them into your arms with a hungry, appreciative kiss. or if you could sit there and quietly observe them for hours with more satisfaction than anything physical could bring.

Murmurs ghosting just under her breath. Adoration. Sorrow. Gratitude. Hands clasped together and head bowed to show respect for those that had fallen for their cause. Headstones lined neatly just in front of her body of all the slayers that had given their life over the years. Though the site itself did not hold account for every one of those bodies, they were still accounted for in her thoughts. Eyes cracking open to the sun beaming overhead, Youko stayed where she sat. Blooms of wisteria draped across the area, providing for more than enough shade. Her gaze flickered amongst all the stones as a sense of melancholy remained hung over her head. Trained ears could hear the footsteps growing e’er closer from behind, yet she did not budge to see whom it was that was approaching.

“ Shall I take my leave to provide you with a moment alone here? ”

My heart bleeds for those I could not save  My lungs COLLAPSE from burden  My bones  s h a t t e r  after lifting our sorrows My blood boils when betrayers prevail

[tiffsmemes]

half an inch of water taken from the 2015 percival everett book.

i think i twisted my ankle.

you warm enough?

like i told you, just some personal stuff.

you’re going to be fine, dear.

well, the thing now is to keep covered up and stay warm. keep drinking hot liquids.

at least let me make you some food.

it’s not a good thing, it’s not a bad thing. it’s just a thing.

want to hear about my dreams?

you make it sound like we’re on a mission.

it’s dislocated, that’s certain.

can’t see shit in the snow.

you’re awfully hard on yourself.

i’ve been doing this thing called growing, in case you haven’t noticed.

some sandwiches, some cookies, some coffee.

i’ll be all right. you just keep me awake.

here, eat up.

you might be a little disoriented.

i really need to be alone right now. i’ll probably be here most of the day.

why are you all of a sudden mr. calm?

everybody hates driving in the snow.

i wish somebody would say that about me.

first thing is to relax. i’m not going to die.

when can i panic?

we can just head home if you want.

i’d like to say i’d be understanding, but i can’t.

i just want you to know that i’m not out here to drown myself.

@slayersaided​​ asked: ❝Let me get you some water.❞ Lightheaded/Fainting Starters

" Thank you. ” She replied with a small smile and quiet voice, although still loud enough to hear. Patiently, she waited for the beverage whilst carefully rubbing small circles onto the temple of her head. Truly, it was a bit embarrassing to be seen having a sudden dizzy spell during a short stroll through the corps. For a moment, panic instilled those nearby before Youko was carefully ushered towards the Butterfly Estate. There, she was instructed to stay and rest until her condition had at least stabilized. Originally, a few had voiced their concerns and recommended that she stayed there for a night. However, she declined with the excuse that there was still work that had to be done.

" Thank you again for taking care of me. ” Giving another appreciative nod towards the kakushi, Youko set the cup on her lap as she patted the empty space next to her as an invitation for the other to relax. “ I don’t think I’ve caught your name yet. ”

[fcxblossom]

@solitxdinem​ asked: ❝Stay with me.❞ Lightheaded/Fainting Starters

Eyes fluttering partially open upon hearing the desperate plea coming from the boy above her. Youko couldn’t help but cast a pained, yet saddened gaze onto the demon before letting her eyes rest behind a curtain of darkness once more. The pounding in her head only increasing, causing for a small whimper to croak out her lips.

“ I'm sorry for being late... ” She sighs out. What once were long, drawn out breaths now became labored in such short and uneven intakes. Perhaps she pushed her body too far this time. Or, perhaps it was the very curse that plagued her body, eating away slowly within the inside, that was finally taking its toll on her. Yet, regardless, Youko still smiled at Rui. Her consciousness was fading by the second, but the gentle grasp that she had on the demons’ hand remained warm against his ghostly cold ones. “ Thank you, Rui... ” She quietly spoke as her head carefully slid to prop awkwardly onto her left shoulder; her mind slowly growing numb from the desire to rest.

Hashira Youko Sketch Draft

glicinae​:

they really had come a long way, hadn’t they? tanjirō sure thought so himself; a hand searching for the familiar touch of polished wood and leather straps, the faint smell of his sister’s sheltered dreams and the certainty that, whatever challenges the future might have in store for them, they were together: nezuko and him. and god—he is so thankful ! so happy for that ! he wants to talk about things like their journey ! he wants to ask the other so many things ! does she feel the same as him? is she happy about her present, is she proud? and he is—( he is, he is, he is ) but—she coughs, and suddenly, worry and fear are the only things in his system as he leans forward and offers a tentative hand on her back, he wonders:

“ ubuyashiki-san? are you okay, ubuyashiki-san? ” genuine concern in the eyes that turn to her, not another thought in his mind other than how difficult it must be to live with something like that, a curse in your blood that weakens you by the day. and he… knows a little about it. from up close. actually, from when his father was still with them and the little forces that he had served him only to sit and stay awake for periods of time; not playing, not enjoying his family like he once did, many years ago. and how he wished he could do something about it ! for a moment, he stops to consider. 

for a moment, until the thought finally comes to him.

“ oh, i know ! ” he assures, certain. an exclamation that comes from the very core of him. “ i wish you hope, ubuyashiki-san ! all there is in the world !  the really, REALLY strong, unbreakable sort ! “ and after a moment, he explains. “ i guess… i really wanted to wish you the longest life you could get, or—the cure you really wanted, but—i think those things depend on too many other factors, you know? but—as long as you have hope, on us, on every demon slayer, even in those moments hope is the hardest things to hold onto, i’m sure your cause will always persevere “

and for the look in his eyes, he believes in it. he truly, absolutely, undeniably, really ( REALLY ) really, believes in it.

There was no uncomfortable air between the two as silence filled in the void for a brief period. Rather, it was a relaxing break from the conversation as the retired slayer waited for the younger to reflect on just how much he’d progressed since the beginning of his journey. There were surely moments within both their pasts in which the two would of wished to do something different, but Youko honestly did hope that one day, once this was all over, that he’d manage to smile at both his accomplishments and troublesome trials. Ah ! Turning her attention back towards him, Youko flashed the boy a small smile in reassurance. “ Though I wish to say I am, that would be lying towards a dear slayer of mine. ” Pausing to catch her breath, she reached out and offered the Kamado a gentle pat along his head; the action itself resembled something akin to a motherly nature in how careful she was being. “ Just as my precious brother grows weak, I too am no acception to this. There may come a day where I become completely mute. ” Perhaps for this very reason, along with her own stubbornness, Youko continues to draw out her sentences until that fateful day comes. Though much serious issues could arise if it ever got that far, she’d rather not bring such matters up for the sake of the slayers: her family. Yet, she’s taken aback by the sudden excitement and words of encouragement that this boy had begun spouting. The words spoken felt as if they radiated the same warmth and energy that the boy seemed to give off within his presence. Truly, it was a gift that Tanjirō had whether he knew this or not. Regardless, they were deeply appreciated and only further proved her point when she had said that he was much too generous for his own good.

“ On behalf of the Ubuyashiki Family, I would like to thank you for both of those wishes Tanjirō-kun. ” Truly, she too would like to stay hopeful with the on-going research of potential methods in reducing the curses effects, seeing as a complete cure would take up too much time away from their main goal. “ It is thoughtful nonetheless, but I can surely say without a doubt that I have all my faith within the Demon Slayers community. You all are, after all, the rays of hope we have towards a better future. ”
