So do you think if Sanemi actually blinded Genya, Genya would have to admit to himself that his big brother had become almost unrecognizable? Do you think Genya would start thinking of Sanemi like their father?

Idea, what if vampires are weak to the holy items of their culture when they were alive. So a lot of modern vampires are weak to the classic cross and holy water. But vampires from ancient Egypt aren't effected by that at all. Instead they're weak to the eye of horus or an ankh
TIL that my high school not only is old enough to have a nuclear bomb shelter, but was a black school when people were segregated. Like, I thought it was a white school for the longest time??? Gues it makes sense why they had to do so many renovations tho
Kinda drives home how recent segregation was. It's kind of hard for me to perceive history until I'm walking around in it

•INCLUDES SPOILERS FROM INFINITY CASTLE
I’m honestly exhausted with certain corners of this fandom, and I need to say this plainly and calmly because I stand by it.
I got into an argument recently under a comment that said: “If you age up minors in your fics, you need your hard drive checked.”
And… no. That’s not how fiction works.
These are fictional characters, in a fictional universe, written in fictional scenarios. When I say “This is a modern-day AU and Muichiro Tokito is 21,” that is a factual statement within the story. That is the canon of that universe. The character being written is not fourteen.
The version being imagined is an adult: a grown man with adult responsibilities, an adult body, an adult life. The inspiration being drawn is surface-level. With visual motifs, core personality traits but not the original age or circumstances. And even personality is allowed to evolve, because adulthood changes people. That’s the entire point of AUs.
You cannot sexualize a minor if the character does not exist as a minor in the narrative. The sexualization you’re accusing people of literally does not apply to the version being written. Saying things like “just admit you like kids” or “get your hard drive checked” doesn’t make you morally superior. No, it just assigns genuinely harmful accusations to real people over fictional writing. And that’s where I stop engaging politely.
This fandom is obsessed with purity tests.
People will confidently thirst over Daki, a demon who has existed for over a century, and then people LOVE to suddenly pretend she’s “mentally twelve.” That is not supported by canon. Demons in Kimetsu no Yaiba retain memories, experiences, and emotional continuity from their demon lives. Daki has lived, learned, manipulated, survived, and killed for decades. She is not a child trapped in a body. she is a grown, morally corrupt demon. You don’t have to like her, but pretending she’s mentally prepubescent is not accurate.
Then there’s the mischaracterization problem.
Giyuu Tomioka is not a helpless twink. Canonically, he is physically imposing, highly skilled, emotionally repressed, and deeply traumatized. He shifts between withdrawal and intensity. He’s not “soft baby” or “emotionless jerk,” he’s a man who doesn’t believe he deserves love. In a healthy relationship, he would be careful, loyal, and terrified of loss. Arguments wouldn’t be explosive but they’d be cold, quiet, and painful. That’s not headcanon fluff; that’s consistent with how trauma actually manifests. He’s the switchiest switch I’ve ever seen too. He’d let you use him all day if you wanted, but if you wanted to be used by him, he’d do it.
Sanemi Shinazugawa would not abuse his partner. He is volatile, yes. He’s sharp-tongued and defensive, absolutely. But canon shows his violence is directed outward, not toward those he loves. Even his cruelty is rooted in fear and protection with Genya. You can write messy arguments without turning him into a domestic abuser. Those are not the same thing. Also sex with Sanemi would not constantly be this degrading dom situation. He’s also a switch. He’d let you dom him, whimpering, begging. But if you asked to dom you, he’d do it. He’d degrade you too but he’d want to be 100% sure you were okay with that beforehand and give you the best aftercare. That’s why I write “established trust” with him.
Now, Dōma.
Yes, his backstory is psychologically disturbing. But no, it is not equivalent to Akaza’s or Kokushibō’s in terms of remorse or moral conflict. Canonically, Dōma still craves worship, runs a cult, and lacks genuine empathy. He is a narcissist. That doesn’t mean his story isn’t tragic but it means his tragedy doesn’t redeem him. Evil characters are allowed to just be evil. He is simply just evil. That’s WHY I LOVE HIM.
And finally, the demon discourse.
I get comments all the time like, “They would just eat you.”
Okay. Maybe Dōma would. That tracks. You got me there.
But canon shows that demons are not mindless animals. Akaza retains values, loyalty, grief, and agency, so much so that he ultimately chooses death when confronted with his humanity. Kokushibō makes calculated decisions based on pride and legacy. Mercy, manipulation, or transformation all exist within canon precedent if it benefits them.
They are evil. They are dangerous. But they are not one-dimensional. Writing them as capable of emotional attachment and with emotional intelligence is not delusion. It is factual. They can be evil but let’s not pretend they are mercilessly, and incapable of emotional understanding.
Disclaimer 🤚: These are my opinions. This is how I interpret the characters. This is how I write them.
You don’t have to agree. You don’t have to read it.
But I’m not going to stop, and I’m definitely not going to apologize for engaging with fiction like fiction.
So eat my ass.
But if you agree and support me…maybe I’ll eat yours ;)
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

Analysis of Kokushibo why he forgot the faces of his father, mother, wife and children
This is a theory that will be based on Buddhist cultural elements as well as a symbol of self-destruction by jealousy, hatred, obsession with inferiority and sibling rivalry that this character represents 🧵
The problem is that many people argue about why Kokushibo forgot his ex-wife's face and justify it by saying "Just because she's boring or unimpressive", no it's not the author's interpretation of this character
Try asking why he forgot his mother's face and his children's face, the people who are considered Kokushibo still have a positive impression of them??
I want to share more about the reason why Kokushibo forgot the faces of everyone in his family except Yoriichi, which I recently delved into. It was the consequence of Michikatsu being abandoned. The fact that Aohizan (his ex-wife), his children, his mother, and his father had their faces forgotten in his memory was not a coincidence, but a direct reflection of Michikatsu's own actions and choices.
Emphasizes anonymity and representative role: Mother (Akeno): Represents the good qualities, care, kindness that Michikatsu inherited and received from her
Father: Represents strength and victory with the Samurai spirit, but not to the extreme. These are the Samurai principles and qualities that Michikatsu was taught (however his father did not clarify what the true value of victory and strength of the Samurai is)
Aohizan and children: Symbolize the lasting peace and stability family he has.
(No!! I don't mean Michikatsu is romantic with his ex-wife but he certainly doesn't despise or hate her)
And one more thing is that Michikatsu abandoned his ex-wife and children NOT because this marriage had problems or it was a place that made him miserable or suffocated, but the reason he abandoned his old family was because he was jealous, hated Yoriichi and wanted to have the same power as Yoriichi, Fanbook 2 and Michikatsu's inner monologue in the manga admitted this.
All of these people brought positive values to Michikatsu's life and he had no negative feelings towards them, either emotionally or physically, before his collapse.
Abandonment is the cause of fading: Michikatsu threw everything away with his own hands - wife and children, humanity, Samurai honor - and that is why they became faded, faceless, nameless in his memory. He actively erased those values and people from his life, and as a result, the memory of them gradually faded, becoming only abstract concepts of loss.
Or to be more precise, Michikatsu also betrayed the values that his parents, wife and children had given him.
Yoriichi in Kokushibo's memories: Symbol of mixed emotions and obsession: The fact that Yoriichi is the only person Michikatsu/Kokushibo always remembers the face of is not because he is the only person who matters in the pure sense. Yoriichi is a symbol of many mixed emotions: admiration, jealousy, obsession, desire for recognition, and also self-doubt.
Extreme Idealism and Blind Pursuit: Yoriichi also represents the extreme ideals of power and perfection that Kokushibo blindly pursues. He becomes the embodiment of the illusion of power that Kokushibo believes he must achieve in order to surpass his younger brother.
The Degeneration into a Demon:
When Michikatsu abandoned everything and became Kokushibo, he became exactly that, a cold, bloodthirsty, aloof, ruthless demon, obsessed with power and victory, blindly pursuing illusory power, and living in a demon world filled with turmoil and negativity. This transformation was a direct result of his choices and obsessions.
In Buddhist culture, Kokushibo is a heartbreaking symbol of self-destruction due to hatred, jealousy and sibling rivalry. These negative emotions led him down a path of self-destruction, loss of humanity and finally death filled with regret for his choices, realization of the futility of it all, despair and doubt of the path he chose.
In Buddhism, Greed, Hatred, and Delusion are the three main poisons that cause suffering and samsara. Jealousy, rivalry, hatred, and Kokushibo's obsession with power all fall under these three poisons.
This is the law of karma and Kokushibo's punishment. He actively abandoned the people who brought him peace, love, and human values (father, mother, wife, children). As a result, his memories of them faded, even their faces disappeared, as a reflection of his own act of rejection.
Haunted by what he wanted to forget: On the contrary, Yoriichi - the person Kokushibo hated, envied and wanted to forget, the person who represented his obsession and failure - was the person whose face he could not forget. This was the most cruel punishment. He accepted the pain and degeneration to overcome Yoriichi, but Yoriichi himself became a permanent psychological shackle, unable to escape.
This is the "karma" of jealousy and hatred: Michikatsu sowed the seeds of jealousy, blind ambition, and betrayal. The result is that he is forever haunted by the object of his jealousy, never attaining true peace, and dies in confusion and regret for what he has lost and cannot regain.
The him regretting everything in the end
It is also his depth, which is also the value, the warning for anyone who gets caught up in jealousy, hatred and sibling rivalry so that later on they will destroy themselves and harm others, to later be too late and unable to turn back
Kokushibo is a prime example of how jealousy and hatred can corrode a person. He destroyed himself (turned into a demon, lost his humanity, died in despair) and caused terrible harm to others (family, Demon Slayer Corps, Muichiro). His tragedy highlights that when these emotions take control, people can go too far, to the point of no return, no matter how much regret they have.
Buddhism regards jealousy (妒嫉) and hatred (嗔恨) as hindrances, mental obstacles that cause suffering. Kokushibo's story is a clear demonstration of how these emotions completely destroyed his happiness and development. In Buddhism, rivalry, especially between brothers, is often seen as a form of greed and hatred, causing suffering and division. This makes me think of the wooden flute that Kokushibo himself had cut off, which he had always kept with him, perhaps because deep down he still loved Yoriichi, but the cutting off was destruction and division for both of them.
As in the end Kokushibo is left with only obsession, jealousy, hatred and rivalry mixed brotherly love and admiration with Yoriichi, all regrets of his choices, doubts about his path, realizing everything he did was meaningless and dies in despair.
This article ends here <3
I don't know if anyone has ever noticed this before, but I was trying to figure out which baby is Michikatsu and which is Yoriichi in this panel:
And since the only way to do so is by identifying Yoriichi first from his birthmark, which is on the right side of his forehead/face, I was initially confused by Gotouge's decision to draw them in a position that only shows their left sides.
So, I assumed it was intentional despite my doubts.
But then I realized something...
i don't know why i accumulate so many followers these days but i'm feeling too perceived skdkks guys can you unfollow me or at least take off your shoes at my door (this is not an american household!) aka read my rules?
thank you <3
When you died to a vehicle accident, you expected to become an adventurer in a high-fantasy world. Instead, you were a crystal tied to a broken starship, one out of many in a field of barren space. Undeterred, you start to turn the wrecks into a Dungeon, becoming a powerful battleship as well.
You weren't sure how long you were there. Time didn't even seem to be a thing until a piece from another broken ship slowly drifted from its origin point. The cold vacuum of space was nothing compared to the eerie silence.
The view of the stars was gorgeous beyond description. You wanted to drift closer but were tied in place by that awful cable. You pulled. It didn't budge. You tried again.
Small adjustments were all you could manage, it was frustrating. Mild annoyance bubbled into slowly rising anger at being trapped in a lonely void. Was this really meant to be your existence now? You groan in frustration and let off a slight glow.
Huh. That's different. You let out a hum in curiosity. You glow a bit brighter. As memories of your old life play in your mind, you miss your old home. You absentmindedly begin humming a song from your youth, some old song about sitting by a creek.
Small bits of broken ships float in space as your quiet melody plays from you. It doesn't go unnoticed that they're drifting towards each other. Fascinated, you keep humming that song. It seems the longer you sing, the more pieces start to drift together.
With nothing better to do, you begin creating something.
With time, bigger and bigger pieces come together. The places where they join and connect have a faint glow. The ships around you break apart, bit by bit, and come back together into something just for you.
The battleship is massive, and the inside is like a labyrinth. After the pride of your creation wears off, you begin to miss seeing the stars. While your curiosity had been sated, it seemed that it had come at a cost. While the constellations were all alien to you, they were no less beautiful.
Quiet footsteps pull you out of your thoughts as small beings enter the ship. You can hear them all the way from the room you are tucked away in. There are atleast three of them. Their voices speak in an alien tongue, and you can't decipher a word of it.
After some exploring, they reach where you are and you finally get to see them. The tallest one is leading the small group. Their lanky form is holding some kind of light source. They point at you while speaking to the others. The medium sized one is bulkier than their taller counterpart and easily climbs the structure that you're strapped to. They begin trying to cut you free.
The smallest one seems nervous. Their tiny frame matches their demeanor, and they speak quietly to the others in hushed tones. They seem to be arguing about something. You can't fathom what it could be.
You don't have much time to ponder that, as you are finally freed. You fall unceremoniously with a clang against the metal floor. The creatures gather around you to get a better look. After some more conversing, it seems the smallest one is chosen to carry you. They strain to lift your crystal form as the others look around for the way out.
You are brought onto their ship. If you could sigh, you would. The company was nice, but you couldn't even understand them. At least they let you sit near a window so you could see the stars again. As their ship drifted away from the one you built, you saw the remnants of a broken planet in one of the windows.
The smallest looked at the pieces in a way that you understood far too well. In a desire for something that you couldn't remember the word for, you begin to hum again.
Their ship begins to faintly glow. The two that had been arguing suddenly stop, and look around in surprise. You could hear the engine of the ship start up, and the others cheered. Ah. That's why they wanted you.
You kept humming that song about sitting by a creek. Memories of your old home played in your mind. The gentle rain of summer, the soft breeze, sunlight filtering through the leaves. If you ignored your surroundings, it almost felt like you were there again.
‐----
Soru had been stuck in a ship with her brothers for what felt like years. They were lucky to have escaped, but there was a pit in her heart that couldn't be filled anytime she saw the remnants of her home. The chunks hung lifelessly in space as their ship slowly drifted away.
Their ship didn't have enough power to get out of their solar system, so they were forced to scavenge battlefields for scraps and ship parts. The war atleast left that for them. Her brothers were arguing again after finding some strange crystal. One was sure that it was the solution to their problems, the other thought their time had been wasted.
Soru just wished they would stop fighting. They never fought back home. She closed her eyes and thought of her old house by the forest. There was a small stream that gently ran through where it was easy to find pebbles and flowers. She thought of the soft drops of rain, of the gentle wind, and faint hints of sunlight reaching through the canopy.
Suddenly, her brothers stopped fighting. She opened her eyes and saw the ship was faintly glowing. Before she could ask what was going on, the engine came back on. The crystal in her hands was letting out a faint hum as the ship was finally given the power they needed to find a new home.
She didn't know why, but it sounded like a song.
It's beautiful, thank you.
Stepdad Douma X Reader - Edging
Day 7 of my Kinktober series whee
Disclaimer : Stepcest , exhibitionism and Implication of brainwashing. Also reader calls Douma “Daddy”
~~~~~ You remembered like it was yesterday.
Both you and your mother were grieving over the loss of your father, the pain unbearable. It felt like you couldn’t breathe, like your chest was ripped open for the crows to feast on. Both of you were looking for something, anything, to help and navigate this difficult time in your life when a friend of your mothers told you about a certain man.
“He can do anything.” She told your mother, a dazed look in her eyes, “and he can bring you peace.”
So the two of you went to this man. This miracle. The one who could heal your wounds and guide you through life. You had your hesitations, of course, suggesting to your mother that it would be best to stay away but she was so insistent, unable to deal with the loss of her lover, that you gave in to her pleas. She would have gone regardless, better you were with her.
And then you met Douma. The most beautiful man you’d ever seen and within a second, you understood.
His tall stature, toned body underneath his clothes, his silky whitish-blonde hair and those eyes. Oh, those eyes. Multicoloured, ever changing and bright like a pair of diamonds. Within those moments, both of you understood. You needed to dedicate your life to him. You’d try to see him every day, even get a job managing his shrine. You’d talk to him when you could, often catching him outside his room and he’d chat with you, making your day so much better.
Which was why it hurt so much more when he announced that he was marrying your mother.
She was ecstatic, of course, a dedicated member of his cult and the fact that he chose her was a blessing. A true blessing. Of course, for you, it was a curse. Your usual bright days got so dull, colors turned into black and whites as you pretended to be happy for them. You couldn’t understand why Lord Douma chose your mother- why not choose you instead? But you couldn’t bring yourself to say anything. Atleast, until he forced it out of you.
“You haven’t been coming to see me, lately.” Douma said, making you gulp as he cornered you in the hallway, “I’m hurt. Do I not interest you anymore?” “L-Lord Douma-“ “Shouldn’t you call me father?” he asked, gripping your chin gently, “We’re going to be family, right?” Your expression dropped and he understood. “Ah, so that’s why.” He said, “Do you not want me as a stepfather?” “I-“ You gulped, deciding to come out and say, “I w-would have preferred it if you were my h-husband instead… but you love my mother so-” “Who said that?” “Huh?” “Who said I love her?” Douma asked, tilting his head in confusion, “This is a marriage of convenience, nothing more. Your family has a lot of money that I can use, little dove. That’s all it is.” “That’s-" you hesitated, trying to process the information. So…he was just using your mother…for money…you had to tell her- get her out of this engagement- “Question is,” Douma said, a hand running up your arm and his touch making your body shiver, “Are you going to tell her or not? If you do, I’d have to banish the both of you from here. But if you keep it a secret…” his hand found its way to your hip, pulling you close to him, his body pressed flush against yours, “I’ll fuck you right here and now.”
There was only one option you could choose.

Oh damn the Catholics have joined in on the war against AI "art".

I drew this while watching KNY
Okay okay hear me out. What if Doma and Kotoha had a daughter with him before she figured out she was a demon that looked just like him and left her with him? How would Shinobu react to a girl wandering around that looks like the demon he hates so much?
