I just realized that there's always the possibility that my fic is someone's introduction to Demon Slayer, since there are people who read fics from fandoms they don't know for various reasons.

And they could be tricked into thinking so many things about the series because of my fic that doesn't actually happen in the series, especially if this person doesn't read the comments and the start and end notes.

Imagine reading the fic first and watching the anime because you got intrigued enough, only to find out the found family mountain isn't supposed to be an entire arc and was actually condensed into a couple of episodes. Or that Zenitsu was done dirty by his creator and done even dirtier by the anime studio. Or that Giyuu actually disappears from the Kamado's lives for 2 entire years. Etc etc.

Actually now I wonder how hard or easy it is to follow along with what is happening in the fic for people that aren't part of the fandom. How non-fan friendly it is.

Trying out some patterns as I slowly build my Demon Slayer OC/self-insert's design!

What do you guys think? (I'm also considering using a tsubaki design for the handguard.)

Symbolism for the patterns used! Kagome (on the leg-wraps and ribbon) protection from demons and bad luck

Tatewaku (wavy pattern on the haori) elevation of the spirit/ability to overcome situations

Uroko (triangles on the haori) scales; protection and good luck

The tsubaki I'm considering on adding is also a protective charm against demons!

Here's the site I got these from! https://japan-avenue.com/blogs/japan/japanese-patterns?srsltid=AfmBOoq3XQQsXff1gCs0IaG7i9r84Kwb3MF7Jafsc9mx7k7GLnBN2MIi

The tentative backstory I have for her is that she was born with demon-like fangs and abandoned and mistreated bc of it. She kinda named herself like Zenitsu did and after a turn in her life, she changed the characters in her name and started wearing anti-demon stuff

First Name: Wakumi (now stands for water, fluid, liquid + originally stood for boil, seethe, well up)

Last Name: Makka (now stands for stream, flow, current + originally stood for demon, evil spirit, magic + homophone for fall, degenerate, deteriorate) *the meanings changed bc she changed the kanji but the names are still pronounced the same

Draft/Concept for a Nezuko version of that one cracked mask art trend going around!

Whipped this up in 17 minutes in a flash of inspiration. I'm way too busy to finish it immediately so just have the doodle for however long it takes!

[sandsthatrveryscarlet]

Since @strawcold posted snippets of my chapters before they came out, I'm reposting her 3am comic draft from twitter muwahahahaha

[sandsthatrveryscarlet]

My favorite funny duo in the fic!

My favorite duo all in all is still Tanjiro and Nezuko though

[strawcold]

I love their banter so much I need mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[strawcold]

Me wth the way @sandsthatrveryscarlet writes Kaigaku and Zenitsu

Gotouge did Zeni so dirty and Ufotable did him even dirtier

An angel regains its wings whenever someone doesn't reduce Zenitsu to a perverted comedic relief and doesn't completely ignore the great potential and angst trove that is his backstory and characteristics

I love Scarle's Thunder Bros with a time traveling Kaigaku in the process of redemption raaaaaaahhhhhhh

I also absolutely love the way they did ZenNezu ayyyyiiiiiiiiieeeeee

[sandsthatrveryscarlet]

Sometimes, I like to go over all the few bits that feature Human!Nezuko and think about how surprisingly similar she is to Mitsuri

The way they get all embarrassed when asked about romance, how they both enjoy giving hugs, how they both fall in love with guys who have really blatant favoritism, choppy hair, and really bad self esteem issues, how they're both older sisters who are pretty great with kids, how they're some of the harder characters to anger (also, my friend pointed out that Tanjiro has a surprisingly short temper on rewatch), how they can be clueless at times when they get lost in their own cheerfulness, maybe even more if I tried even harder to recall!

It really is such a shame that Mitsuri canonically never get to meet Nezuko after she was cured.

[strawcold]

GOTOUGE WHEN I GET YOU

[strawcold]

That one Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Nezuko moment in Chapter 14 of @sandsthatrveryscarlet's fanfic where Nezuko doesn't like it when her loved ones are being compared to a certain survivalist

[strawcold]

Working on something! My pencil doodles are always so scuffed but also just much easier to find the heart to do. Especially since I don't have an eraser

Tanjiro's just happy to be there XD

Sketching fanart from memory is so harddddd

These are parts of chapter 13 of @sandsthatrveryscarlet's "Once More, with a Choice" on AO3 btw It makes a lot more sense when I color it, promise!

[sandsthatrveryscarlet]

@strawcold jokingly suggested the idea of Zenitsu having gone back but only in his sleeping form and that kinda sounds great as the main concept for a more unique spin on a Zenitsu time travel fic.

I can't stop thinking about it but I'm already dead set on not having him be one of the people who went back in "Once More, with a Choice"

[strawcold]

But IMAGINE the concept of Zentisu's sleeping form being like Layla from Genshin Impact where he now becomes his own personality and conscience and he's more aware of what's happened to Zen while he's awake rather than just reacting to the present moment maybe he even takes over when Zen isn't in danger just so he can do some behind the scenes stuff with all the memories he got from the future IMAGINEEEEEEEEEEEE

Welcome gift for @sandsthatrveryscarlet!

Since they finally got around to making a Tumblr account, I thought I'd try to fight through my years-long art funk to make a more polished drawing of their avatar ^_^

I might make a non-chibi version but have this for now!

I absolutely loved drawing the hair (as I do with almost all my drawings) but I struggled so much with the roses. Why do you like them so much you put at least 4 in your design???

Hello!!! Come read me slowly fall more and more in love with the platonic and familial relationships in this show hahahahahahahaha

Summary:

The 1,000-year war against the Demon King had finally ended, thrusting humanity into a new era of peace. However, it was hard-won, with many devastating losses. The sacrifices were worth it in the end, but that didn’t mean they didn’t leave wounds that would take a lifetime to heal for the survivors.

Former demon, Kamado Nezuko, lamented being unable to properly meet many of the people from her memories before Muzan and his creations cruelly killed them. Still, she did her best to look forward to the future.

Sometimes, she would overhear talk of regrets and what-ifs. And each time, she would silently recall how she barely even had a choice in the time she lost after her humanity was stripped away from her. Could she have made a bigger difference if she could choose?

The opportunity to answer that question came with her waking up to find herself biting down on a familiar bamboo muzzle.

TLDR: Post-canon Nezuko gets thrown back in time to the start of the series with her consciousness and memories intact. She is determined to work towards a better future. imo there’s not enough Nezuko-centric time travel fix-its

The full pic of my banner of backdrop or whatever it’s called! It’s of Slushie, the kind-of mascot for my brand whenever I bother drawing her again, and of me and my siblings (excluding one who doesn’t really care about helping me with internet stuff). I’m the one in purple, Blur is the one in orange, and Shep is the furry little thing t-posing on top of Slushie’s tail.

[strawcold]

Heyyo! I decided I should try to expand here as well. I’m Straw and I draw! I mostly go by she/her but you can call me they/them. I’m kinda awkward so I don’t really know what else to say. Erm, have this drawing of my sona!
