Okay, but Shinazugawa-sensei lowkey being the definition of 'if he wanted to, he would'

just a teensy tiny chibi sanemi raising our standards through the roof :3

notice how he doesn't cut himself a slice? no, i'm def not crying

[gone-are-the-days]

GUYS. STOP. JUST LOOK AT HIM.

Doesn't Sanemi have the prettiest smile? And canonically:

Oh what I'd give to see this man actually relax. He got too many responsibilities all too soon. Even in the Academy AU he was almost always restless. If only I could take away some of his pain. If only...

[gone-are-the-days]

SANEMI WILL BEND OVER BACKWARDS FOR YOU.

No, literally. He has a very flexible back. What did you think?

ufotable knew what they were doing

Who am I kidding? He would do that figuratively too. ALL THE DAMN TIME. He's totally the kind to spoil you rotten. And also the kind to act like it's no big deal (he's trying his best to keep it a secret, please let him).

Just don't let him know that YOU know. DON'T YOU DARE TEASE HIM ABOUT IT. He will not like it. But you get an incredibly flustered Sanemi so that's a win?

[kaigachuu]

i read this as "sanemi i will bend over backwards for you"

and immediately thought, "what if i bend over forwards...."

[gone-are-the-days]

😩 PLS TELL ME YOU DID NOT NOOOOO good idea btw

[gone-are-the-days]

Just a reminder that Rengoku-sensei's canonically husband material :3

Really gotta reread the LNs...

[tlissablr]

[gone-are-the-days]

[who-can-touch-my-boob]

Fuck yeah

Have him in a backward handstand (bridge) while I ride his cock and rubs his pecs and abs like a filthy starving beast

[gone-are-the-days]

You'd have to tie him up first.

Bold of you to assume that a handsy man like him can keep his hands to himself for even a minute.

Hot Take: Sanemi might just be very good with words

Okay, okay, okay. Hear me out.

Am I the only one noticing how easily this man is able to change his tone and find the right words for any situation? I think not (Tanjiro agrees).

He put up a Genya hatred ploy so good, everyone except Tanjiro bought that (and he literally had to sniff his true feelings out).

Man sure is adept with words ngl. I mean, just listen to him:

(*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) Need I say more?

I think Sanemi knows how to write

(P.S.: I like those fics where y/n or OC teaches Sanemi how to write too. Just stating my opinion here.)

The notion that he cannot comes from this panel right here 👆

But I think Sanemi's completely literate; and here's why:

- Compared to Giyu, he seems way more awkward using his left hand while eating. We know Giyu managed to write after losing his right arm, meaning, he learnt to write with his left hand. Sanemi who lost his right index and middle fingers evidently couldn't manage to use his left hand as well as Giyu to even eat (which is a simpler task than writing) and thus definitely not as well to write.

- Also, Taisho Japan had crazy high literacy rates compared to rest of the world. Elementary education which was 6 years long was mandatory. Sanemi comes from the Kyobashi Ward of Tokyo Prefecture. The area had 3 public elementary schools, namely, Joto Elementary School (established in 1875) and Tsukiji Elementary School (established in 1901) and Kyobashi Elementary School (established in 1909). This tells us that education was easily accessible to him. Even though we know that he worked to practically raise his family from a very young age, I don't think he would have skimped on education. You can only go so far with manual labour and he knows that. He's canonically very serious about education, given how he pushes Genya for it in the Academy AU.

- I would also like to point out that's he's sensitive on the inside and thus gets embarrassed easily. Not my words but Gyomei's. That MIGHT also be a reason for not writing to Tanjiro and leaving Ohagi and Matcha as gifts secretly. He SAYS he can't write and that makes it even harder to buy lol.

HEADCANON: Drawing and handwriting are known to be linked so looking at the dragon he drew, I believe his handwriting style must also be very cool!

I wonder if maybe it is true and Sanemi could have disgraphia? He can read just fine but for some reason he can't replicate the characters as they look.

(Based this theory on the fact that I have a little cousin who has disgraphia and while he struggles to read sometimes it used to bring him to tears of frustration trying to write basic words in elementary. When he hit high school and they started using computers he was ao happy.)

[gone-are-the-days]

That's certainly a possibility. What worries me is that learning disabilities don't really have a representation within the shonen genre so, we cannot really say for sure unless it's explicitly stated.

I feel for your cousin. Good to know that he's doing better now!

[gone-are-the-days]

I would like to apologize

I'm such a terrible person. I didn't really pay attention to any of the reblogs on my posts this month and you guys I had left me some messages and I DIDN'T EVEN REPLY.

You have my apologies. I'll reply to them right away. That was so impolite of me.

Sanemi always kept tabs on Genya

[P.S.: I heard some people saying 'Sanemi just ran away and abandoned Genya completely after killing their demon mother' and that perplexed me to no end.

With my understanding of him, I thought that his one true wish and goal in life was to protect Genya. Now, I am aware of his pretense (that went unjustifiably too far) of hating and neglecting his brother but did he completely leave him on his own?

COULD SANEMI TRULY LEAVE HIS BABY BROTHER (Genya's 5 whole years younger than Sanemi) TO FEND FOR HIMSELF?!

It just didn't add up, and hence, I dug deeper.]

Sanemi knew Genya had joined the corps even before their confrontation.

He secretly visited him when he was recovering after SSVA.

I find it hard to believe that he would actually abandon him when he always thought of him as his baby brother. Humans are literally biologically wired to protect and care for infants/infant-like beings.

HEADCANON: I like to speculate he pulled the mysterious package delivery thing on Genya as well.
