having fits actor au brainrot and ayame can't drive.
or, well, no, she can drive, but she's absolutely terrible. no one knows how she passed her driving test. inosuke says her dad probably bribed the instructor to give her a pass. she doesn't even have her own car - she usually borrows her dad's jeep. inosuke also says it's because a normal car wouldn't be able to handle her.
(ayame used to be a pretty cautious driver. then she got to know sanemi.
they worked on a few projects together - one on-screen acting role and a handful of voice acting projects. they're buddies, which is the worst thing to happen when ayame was in her provisional driving year. he was usually the one in the passenger seat and helped her develop allll kinds of bad habits.)
"how bad could it be?" tanjirou asks one day.
inosuke and zenitsu, who have both been in a car with ayame driving, both pale. kanao shakes her head. genya is clueless; he lives in the opposite direction of the others and has thus never carpooled.
"you should ask shinobu-san," kanao says ominously.
tanjirou asks shinobu.
shinobu smiles, looking even more like her fits character. her eyebrow twitches and her hands tighten around her mug.
"do you like feeling like you're about to die with every turn?" she asks pleasantly. "if you're a thrill seeker, ayame-chan is the perfect driver for you. just ask tomioka."
tanjirou asks giyuu.
his gaze gets far away. then, he looks down at his hands and doesn't move for a good fifteen minutes. tanjirou is visibly sweating. if he breaks giyuu before the big hashira scene, the director is going to murder him.
eventually, giyuu shakes his head and sighs.
"i got where i needed to go really fast," he intones.
yeah, tanjirou is scared now.
("i'm not that bad," ayame insists when tanjirou blurts it out. "honestly. if u guys think i'm bad, sanemi-san is even worse. seriously."
tanjirou gets into a van with sanemi at the wheel.
- hashira!tanjirou hasn't spoken much since hashira!ayame died, so his voice is a lot gruffer than fits!tanjirou. hashiras!zenitsu and inosuke were shocked that hashira!tanjirou even spoke to fits!ayame
- as u can see from the snippet above, hashira!tanjirou tells them pretty early on what happened to hashira!ayame
- this is set roughly in kintsugi, so no one is surprised. they pretty much figured it out when they realised their displaced counterparts were all hashiras
- yeah... i guess u can say hashira!tanjirou was a lil more like fits!giyuu after the mugen train mission. unlike giyuu, he does have more friends to try and pull him out of the funk
- not sure if i'll get a chance to write it (maybe one day) but hashira!tanjirou and ayame get into a spat, because the way she uses her breath of flame katas isn't the same as hashira!ayame. there are a few differences: hashira!ayame trained more under her shishou, she was named a tsuguko before fits!ayame was, and she's had a few years as a hashira to hone her craft. fits!ayame doesn't have the same amount of training, and she's been fighting alongside tanjirou longer so her fighting style is pretty linked with his
i'm tipsy rn but feel free to ask me for fits headcanons! or send ur own too and i'll tell u if it's canon, au or ooc! currently i am also dreaming abt actor au bloopers, so ask me abt any scene u wanna see a blooper too and i'll do my best to give u a lil drabble!
If Ayame and kyoujuro were in the sink universe that would 100% be in the survey corps and ruin Levi's life.
A large Himbo and a mini himbo charge into a horde of titans yelling something about setting their hearts ablaze. Somehow they always win???
Ayame has the Mikasa view point on the ribbon, you touch you die.
Just captain Kyo-nii and the mini but somehow more scary co captain Ayame.
have u been digging around inside my brain cos i had an idea of reincarnated fits squad in the snk universe -
you're absolutely right. the flame duo would be in the survey corps and levi would just be suffering the whole time. actually, Suffering™ because that's double the trouble. oh, ayame acts like she's so cool and exasperated with kyoujurou, but she's also the first one to join kyoujurou in whatever headassery he's doing. don't try and be reasonable, ayame, you're literally just as bad.
large himbo and mini himbo cjsnsjwjwjw i can see it and i can see erwin being like "maybe qe should stop them" and levi just sighs and says "wait". it's ridiculous how much ayame and kyoujurou get away with things, and yet… well. he has to admit that the mortality rate has gone down a bit since the two of them joined.
that being said, just imagine idiots squad meeting the shiganshina trio. zenitsu and armin commiserate over being blondes and being the realistic ones, eren and inosuke just yell at each other while tanjirou tries to mediate and ayame and mikasa are just ._. at the boys. Alternatively armin and ayame are 🤝 at being the main idea person while zenitsu and jean hang out. i haven't watched anything past season one so i'm just imagining them in the 104th and nothing bad ever happens TwT
but also let's face it. idiots squad would dominate the top 4. they literally have the know-how from a different life AND they augment it with breathing.
ayame would hate the 3dmg gear tho. too many heights, the poor girl TwT
and yes. if anyone even tries to touch her precious ribbon, they'll end up on their back with something pointy pressed to a vulnerable spot. don't mess with her ribbon 😤
i read somewhere that oyakata-sama actually told kyoujurou there was a possibility his next mission might be his last and i can't help but assimilate that into fits!kyoujurou too...
Ya know after reading the latest update with zenitsu and ayame conversation, marriage came up and i was kinda mildly surprised that ayame and even Tanjirou wouldnt be the type to marry. Granted their pretty young already to be thinking that long term, especially with death being just around the corner with their missions. I guess maybe after everything was over or even in an au where non of this tragedy happend, i would think tanyame would be up for having a big family, like legit 5+ kids 😂 OHHH if they did, what kinda parents do u think they would be like? Parents headcanon??? 🥺
(btw zenitsu, very relatable and we would totally flip a shit over drinks about tanyame, more so tanjirou the little blockhead)
i think that ayame and tanjirou don't have the capacity to think about marriage at the moment. i mean, in canon, tanjirou wasn't even sure if he would live long enough to cure nezuko. his desperation, i feel, is due to that. he doesn't want nezuko to be alone, and he doesn't want her to miss too much.
tanyame have always been a lesson in duty above all else. they have both individually set aside so many of their own dreams by joining the kisatsutai, so naturally, both of them don't think of marriage. this makes me very sad bc yeah, they should be married and have happy families - preferably with each other!
zenitsu has only even known tanjirou and ayame after they became demon slayers. they've both firmly set aside any dreams of a simple life at that point, so he only knows them as the driven, training-obsessed individuals that they are now. even when we go back to early in the fic, when they talked about their ideal types, both ayame and tanjirou spoke about it as if it was already part of a past that isn't theirs anymore. it's kind of a reminder that zenitsu, as much as he can hear a lot of things, doesn't really know their past. After all, he still thinks that they were childhood friends that played together and were always found together, but that never happened. it was only after okutama that they became closer, and after - or during - final selection that they became the tight-knit pair he was introduced to! i like that he forms a lot of misconceptions of their relationship ^^ if u ask me, inosuke probably has a better view of what ayame and tanjirou were and are to each other, because he isn't blinded by zenitsu's ideals!
anyway! that got a lil sad, so tanyame parent headcanons under the cut! (there are so many...)
- i can see ayame as being the laidback parent, the one who is calm in the face of any familial calamity. i mean, we know that she'll be panicking on the inside, but outwardly she will be very calm
- meanwhile, tanjirou is totally the panicky parent. he's the first to react when something happens - be it a baby crying for seemingly no reason, or a child's first fall - and it'd be a big reaction
- their kids wouldn't have any problem talking to their parents about anything, but they definitely have one that they prefer over the other. the eldest kids would feel more comfortable going to tanjirou, while the younger kids would always turn to ayame
- ayame would be the scary parent though. she's the sterner one
- but tanjirou is the one the kids would hate to disappoint
- like ayame would scold them and it'd feel bad, but tanjirou would just smile sadly and they'd feel rotten on the inside
- i can imagine they'd both be on the same page for a lot of things. as demon slayers, they were partners, after all! which means trying to pit kaachan against touchan won't work. at all.
- the kids rarely see them fight seriously; those were usually done behind closed doors so the kids wouldn't see
- look. we all know tanyame would be lovey dovey af. pet names fall from their lips as easily as their names do, to the point where, when the eldest kids were learning to talk, they'd follow their parents and call tanjirou "sunshine" or "darling", or ayame "sweetheart" and "love" instead of kaachan and touchan
- the younger kids would be more embarrassed than their older siblings about how affectionate their parents are, though. i can't imagine tanyame will stop with the pda even when they're married with kids
- anyway tanjirou teaching all his kids hinokami kagura while ayame watches. that is all.
- they're both the fun parents. if tanjirou is too busy to play with the kids, ayame will chase them around and vice versa. they're both super into having play time with the kids! when both parents are free, u know the house is gonna be filled with delighted shrieks
- ayame and tanjirou are both the sole inheritors of family arts, but i think the kids will lean more towards charcoal burning than blacksmithing. they'd be kamados, after all. (don't worry, i won't let the higuchi forge die either 😤)
- if ayame brings out the koto, u know she'll have a captive audience in front of her - children and husband. the image is so cute that i'm in tears 😭 😭 😭
- i also like the idea that the kids get to see their parents' silly side when the whole squad gets together! they get to see their calm kaachan go a lil nuts when zenitsu and inosuke are involved, and touchan becomes even more ungovernable bc i still believe nezuko holds the sole brain cell in the squad
- although they get anxious when inosuke rough houses with ayame for... reasons. to them, kaachan is the more delicate of their parents. again, for reasons. but come on, kids, ur mum is a former hashira
- the girls would definitely inherit ayame's ability to feel embarrassed when embarrassing things happen tho. just imagine the kamado ladies doing full-body cringes when smth embarrassing happens in front of them. for the greater good
- also u know if anyone breaks ayame's babies' hearts, she's gonna calmly bring out her katana and start polishing it while tanjirou has to frantically remind her that arson isn't actually a solution to anything (sanemi and tengen are a terrible influence on ayame)
- dad with a shotgun? no, no, kaachan with a katana. if u can't treat any of the kamados right, ayame will remove ur kneecaps without hesitation
- i bet the kids think tanjirou is the introvert while ayame is the extrovert, until they see their parents in a party situation and realise that ayame is dying inside when all these people talk to her while tanjirou is thriving
- okay there are a lot of hcs already but sometimes ayame and tanjirou will dance around the house with the radio playing in the bg and the kids have all seen it and quietly hope they can do that with their future s/os too
- this is a tanyame blog that is all (unless it's a genyame blog)
okay there are a lot of hcs and this is all i can think of for now, but feel free to ask me more any time! thank u so much for this!!!!!!! i will now proceed to go feral over married!tanyame and also parents!tanyame.
(u, me and zenitsu in an izakaya just trash-talking tanyame and how stupid they are. u guys handle dissing tanjirou while i chime in that ayame isn't any better and we just get tipsy and angry. i love it)
