Nezusen shippers, I MUST know why you guys ship this (this is not an attack dw). Like I can see that it's kinda cute, but is there another reason besides that? Bc I didn't even know this ship existed until, like, yesterday. But as I'm typing it it's kinda growing on me lowkey
kny modern au couples doing the you are out of my league tiktok trend
this is the only tiktok trend that matters to me because it's disgustingly adorable. if you haven't seen it because maybe you have an actual life unlike me, here's a video. (and here's another one because it's my favorite but doesn’t really work well as an example.) also ig i'm spoilering the ships for this au but you know what i'm fine with that, there'll be a more detailed post on these at some point.

SANEKANA
you know it takes a WHILE for Kanae to convince Sanemi to do this with her
he's not super comfortable showing his face on social media anyway and doing that trend? with Kanae? so everyone can look at it and go "how tf did this ugly bridge troll pull that gorgeous angel"? thank you but no thank you
Kanae of course is outraged at this; "did you just call yourself UGLY [insert long rant about how pretty Sanemi is on the in- and outside and how he should never speak like this about himself ever again]"
he finally caves in because she's so excited about doing it and she gets him his favorite take out to make up for it
OBAMITSU
Obanai avoids social media like the plague and he's not aware of the trend until Mitsuri starts sending him links, hoping that he'll get the hint (he doesn't)
when she finally brings it up to him he's SO reluctant but he agrees to it on the condition that they don't do it in a public spot
they do a few versions of it in the living room of Mitsuri's family when no one's home and he actually ends up having fun
in the end they don't post anything because Obanai just isn't comfortable with it but Mitsuri has all the drafts saved to her phone and rewatches them every day (her favorite is one where she susprised Obanai by scooping him up and he spasmed so hard that he threw her off balance and they both came crashing down on the couch)
SABIGIYUU
Sabito doesn't even ask Giyuu if he feels up for it, he just barges into the room like "hey we should try something" and doesn't wait for an answer
Giyuu has no idea what's going on, he just gets the instruction to walk backwards and he's so confused when Sabito... crashes into him?? starts making out with him??
the video goes viral and people online start gushing over how adorable Giyuu is which prompts Giyuu to lock himself in his room for three days because he can't fathom that internet strangers are calling him cute
he only comes out when Sabito takes the video down (which he did just for Giyuu and definitely not because he was getting a teensy bit pissed off at random people thirsting after his boyfriend)
UZUIWIVES
an absolute catastrophe of a video
Suma is the one who discovers the trend first and the others are on board with it obviously but turns out the trend was not designed for more than two people at once
all of their attempts end in a massive crash and tangled limb chaos on the floor and Tengen fractures a rib (he can take a lot but having three adult women fall on the same bone has to do something to a man)
they upload the fractured rib draft and it's a giant hit with the baby would you peel an orange for me community
RENKAZA
yes Akaza found the trend and yes Akaza sneakily brought it up to Kyojuro and yes Akaza already had a cute spot to film at in mind which they both had a deep emotional connection to but just for the record he thinks it's stupid
he grumbles about how they turned into a corny couple throughout the whole thing but also he's gonna need a second take just to make sure they get it right
Kyojuro happily goes along with the farce, nodding and agreeing in all the right places to make him feel better
they can't decide on a draft to upload because the one where Kyojuro laughs so beautifully doesn't have Akaza's eyes lighting up so marvelously and vice versa and in the end they just say whatever and post both because they've been filming all afternoon and they really need a snack
MUIGEN
the video is cute and all but what really resonates with the audience are the outtakes
take 1: Genya walks backwards from the camera and bumps into empty air. Muichiro forgot his cue.
take 4: Genya starts the video. Muichiro can be seen walking past the camera, so determined that the viewer might actually be tricked into assuming he has somewhere to be.
take 28: Muichiro stands in front of the camera, trying to figure out whether it's already filming. Genya can be seen laughing hysterically in the background and it's unclear whether his outbreak stems from amusement or desperation.
TANOSUKE
NEZUSEN
not much to say, except that Inosuke gravely misunderstands the whole idea behind the trend
Tanjiro barely manages to take a step away from the camera before he gets tackled to the ground from the side
he gets a few bruises, but Inosuke looks so happy about the "surprise hug" that he can't even be mad
also the video shows the aftermath of the tackle™ with Inosuke happily blabbering to him and if that's not Tanjiro's favorite thing in the world then what is honestly
SUSADAKI
honestly these two get together so long after the current point in the timeline and i highly doubt tiktok will be around for that long but let's pretend it is
Nezuko loves the trend and Senjuro asks suggests to do it like the attentive boyfriend he is
he puts so much thought into it too, he literally crafts a whole date night around ending up in that one spot where they had their first date just so he can smoothly pull out his phone like "hey you wanna do that you're out of my league thing"
after the camera has stopped filming he proposes and she says yes and they live happily ever after bye i love them
Susamaru is actually the one who suggests it and it takes a little while for Daki to agree
(she loves her girlfriend but people can't know she has an image to lose)
Susamaru doesn't give a shit about Daki's mean girl image and literally sweeps her off of her feet when she comes rushing into the frame
Daki's so flustered by how blatantly her adoration shows on her face but she insists on posting the video anyway because HELL YEAH THAT'S HER GIRLFRIEND AND EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW THEY'RE AWESOME TOGETHER
