Could we please get general relationship headcanons for Ann, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, (and maybe Sumire if you feel like throwing her in here but you don't have to) from Persona 5? Thank you!

Hell yeah I can put Sumi in there, redhead supremacy. Tsubaki Yayoi best girl

Blazblue asks when

Content Warning: MAJOR spoilers for Persona 5 Royal. Ann Takamaki:

-If you manage to get with Ann of all people, fuckin' major props to you. You got yourself a literal model, nevermind the trauma/nervousness she probably has when it comes to relationships thanks to Kamoshida.

-Hope you're not one who sunburns easily, because you got yourself a ray of sunshine. Delete that joke, that was stupid.

-Ann has officially decided to make it her life's mission to make every day she can brighter for you and it will be your problem.

-Favorite dates of hers include going to Odaiba, mostly for the ferris wheel, going to the underground mall, whether for actual shopping or window shopping, and of course hitting up whatever sweets store you two can find. She'll usually pay due to her modelling giving her more money than the average high school student, and she insists because of this.

-Ann is all for physical affection, she is all over you every chance she gets. Cuddles, kisses, spooning, you name it. You MIGHT get some PDA out of her but not a lot, unless she just gets one of those sudden bursts of confidence out of seemingly nowhere.

-At home dates work for her too. She's totally on board with snuggling up on the couch absolutely drowning in blankets to watch a movie. Bonus points if the two of you fall asleep together just like that.

-As for the more...explicit parts of a relationship, the kind that hormonal teenagers get the most excited over...yeah Kamoshida did some serious damage on that front. If you wanna do that with her, it's going to take a while before she builds up the confidence to wanna explore that. You'll have to bring it up in conversation first, though.

-It is not an uncommon occurrence for you to find some sort of sweet treat on your desk as you go into school in the morning. Nothing big, just a little something Ann found while out in town that made her think of you.

Makoto Niijima

-Ahh, the student council president. Calm, composed, put together, and has zero idea what in God's green Earth she's doing when it comes to an S/O.

-If she was being completely honest she barely has any idea how she managed to even get an S/O in the first place, but she certainly won't be caught complaining. It's nice to know she has someone she knows she can count on for a change. At least anyone that's not just her sister.

-Makoto is the type to show affection in subtler ways, namely through worrying about you. Your grades, your health, your diet, she makes sure you're on top of it. It could come off as overbearing at times, but she does it to show she cares about you.

-She's much more of the shy type when it comes to more direct displays of affection. The subtle brushing of her hand against yours before it eventually rests on or holds it, her head on your shoulder as you two are sitting together. It'll take a bit before she becomes more confident to show how she really feels, but however she does it, watching the normally cold, professional student council president unwind like that is always quite cute.

-Take her to see an action movie, particularly a Yazuka movie, and she's super engrossed in it, no matter how much she blushes and stutters as she tries to initially deny it. If you're a fan of those movies too, that's even better for her.

-Study dates are a regular occurrence. If your grades aren't looking the best, Makoto is about to come in clutch and save you, whether you like it or not. She won't really be mad though, as long as you show you're at least trying your best.

-Outside of that though, she much prefers dates at your place or hers. Watching a movie, making dinner together, and just in general talking about whatever comes to mind. It's a very cozy, homely atmosphere.

Futaba Sakura

-The social shut-in neet. The only shot you're having at a relationship with Futaba is if you're a Phantom Thief. Otherwise you will have no idea she exists.

-You thought Makoto was nervous going into a relationship? Yeah you haven't seen shit yet.

-Your first order of business in this relationship would pretty obviously be getting Sojiro's approval. Being a Phantom Thief and helping her get out of her room is a nice start, at the very least. Once you've proved yourself to him though, you've secured yourself the ultimate wingman.

-It's going to take quite a bit of convincing to take Futaba out somewhere. Your best bet would be Akihabara too look at all the tech stuff, video game/anime merch, and other general nerd things. All the while she's attached to you at the hip of course. If you leave her sight for even a second she'll never forgive you. At least that's what she says, anyway.

-Most dates are obviously going to be indoors, whether in her room or at Leblanc. Watching anime, playing video games, just about what you'd expect. All the while she'll nerd out about lore/story and teach you anything you're confused on or show some super cool tech in whatever video game you're playing, after thoroughly trouncing you, of course. Will probably make jokes about being your sensei and stuff like that.

-A fun little trick to do is to peck her cheek when you're playing something together to catch her off guard. She'll go red as a beet as her brain completely stops working, after which she'll accuse you of cheating. She'll try to eventually show affection herself in similar ways though she'll get super shy about it and act like it didn't happen. It's pretty freaking cute.

-Also she will 100 percent borrow your clothes without your permission, no matter how oversized they are. She has commandeered your entire wardrobe.

Haru Okumura

-What. A. Sweetie.

-If you're aiming for a relationship with this heiress, you're gonna have to play the long game for a bit. When you were about to be married to Sugimura you'd probably need a break from anything romance related for a while as well. Once Haru does feel ready enough to give relationships a try again with someone she actually cares about it's really something.

-Haru is the soft kind of girlfriend, both figuratively and literally. She treats you with nothing but patience and kindness, and trusts you more than anyone else. She does anything she can for you and will push aside anything and everything if you're ever in need.

-Cuddles with her are soft, fluffy, and warm. It's almost like a sheep, you could stay like that with her for hours.

-Her favorite type of date is naturally anything involving gardening. If you're inexperienced with this sort of thing, Haru is more than happy to teach you everything you need to know. Ask her to do so and the smile on her face could replace the sun.

-The easiest way for her to show affection is through gifts. She's the heiress of one of the largest companies in the world, she has more than enough to spend on you and then some. If you say anything about something cool you want when in her general vicinity you'll be getting that same thing not even a week later. To be frank, you'll probably need to be careful when talking about that sort of stuff, she will have zero inhibitions when it comes to gift giving.

-And don't even get me started when things like Valentine's Day, Christmas, and god forbid your birthday roll around lmfao.

-Whether it's at home baking sweets, spending time a cozy cafe out in Shinjuku, or at a restaurant so fancy that you feel underdressed no matter what you wear, Haru is down for all of it. The only detail that matters to her on a date, and her life in general is that you're there.

-And for the love of God do not let this woman drive, you are gambling with your fucking life.

Sumire Yoshizawa

-A relationship with Sumire would probably start out...awkward. Especially if you knew her while she was posing as Kasumi.

-A lot of guilt and low self-esteem will make the relationship a work in progress to begin with. An S/O of hers will need to be there for her and assure her that she is enough. They're in love with Sumire, not the image and identity of Kasumi she placed upon herself.

-It won't be forever, though. She'll eventually bounce back, knowing that she needs to be there for you like you are for her.

-Sumire is loyal above all else. You showed your loyalty when your stuck by her through such a strange, confusing and difficult time in her life, and she's damn well gonna make sure she returns the favor.

-It'll take a while for her to warm up to it, but she is all in for physical and verbal affection. Anything to show just how much she loves you. Just not in public...

-Sumire would definitely work best with an S/O that praises her for everything she does. It gives her a warm, fuzzy feeling inside and makes her feel satisfied.

-She'd definitely be the type to want to push you to be your best self, physically and mentally. She knows what the latter is like more than anything else and doesn't want you to fall into the same trap. Physically active dates are her forte. A jog around the park in the morning followed by a good breakfast at a restaurant somewhere and she's in Heaven.

-Speaking of which, you better have a good amount of money on hand whenever you go out on a date, lest you run the risk of her draining it dry on food. She'll at least have the decency to know when it's better to stop most of the time but when she gets going, she really gets going, especially if you have a hearty appetite yourself.

-You're naturally sure to catch her gymnastics competitions, whether online or in person. It serves as a motivator for Sumire. Knowing you're watching from somewhere really gives her that extra drive to do her best. You're the reason she's gotten this far, she won't let you down as long as she has something to say about it. Not just in her dreams to be a world class gymnast, but in her entire life.

First headcanon post. Hope these are up to expectations, I really tried with these.

S. SERPENT the clone of Sea Serpent! Reader!!!

HUMAN VERSION!!

(Plain and Black version)

MARINE FILES:

WARNING! Do not fall for her tears, it’s gasoline so you’ll be easier to be burned!

Since S. Serpent can only be controlled by the Gorosei she’s mostly called for buster calls.

Water is S. Serpent Natural habitat so that’s why she’s not good at controlling her flames so to improvise Vegapunk used gasoline as for her tears so she can throw her “tears” towards the enemy to burn them greatly.

Unlike a normal mermaid that has to reach at the age of 30 to have legs, Vegapunk made S. Serpent to have both Sea Serpent! Reader tail and human.

Height: 212 cm, the normal height of an adult.(We still don’t know if she can’t reach the same height as King or [Name]

S. Serpent has an axolotl pet name-Hydra, which she loves so much but sometimes squish it so much that they have to keep on sending Hydra to be fixed.

Unlike normal Serphims, S. Serpent was made to have a child to parent love to Sea Serpent! Reader so Sea Serpent! Reader can’t leave the Marines.

The white part on S. Serpent skin is a replica of Sea Serpent! Reader’s serpent scale, and the there are gills in S. Serpent’s neck.

The reason why S. Serpent has King’s tattoo even though the WG doesn’t even know where Alber is, it’s because of a some sort of memory transfer caused by the mix of Sea Serpent! Reader and King’s blood.

Like her father—King. S. Serpent is indeed a Yandere but only PLATONIC, and S. Serpent is as sadistic as her father.

VA HEADCANON: Japanese VA: Daiya Higashikata or Yasuho Hirose | ENG VA: Alluka Zoldyck or Sumi Nakahara.

—

King: *Picks up S. Serpent* “Do you want a baby sister/brother.” — in a dead serious voice

—

King: *Beats up a goon after they try to flirt with you* “Do you think that you’re worth something to them?!”

S. Serpent: “You’re nothing but a feeble rock in my parents relationship!” *hops down from King’s shoulders and spits gasoline on the goon*

*Both S. Serpent and King use their fire manipulation to burn the goon to crust*

S. Serpent: *Flies back to sit in her father’s shoulders* All done father! *kisses King’s cheeks*

#ILL ADD MORE INFORMATION TOMMTOW IM SO HUNGRYY #ILL ALSO MAKE ANOTHER VERSION BUT S. SERPENT WITH HER TAILS!!#x reader #one piece #yandere #yandere x reader #one piece x reader #yandere one piece #yandere op #yandere one piece x reader #sea serpent! reader #Yandere king the wildfire #xixii’s art #THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DRAWING AN AFRO SO IM SO SORRY IF ITS SO BAD

|| Arrival || Rengoku x Fem!Reader

Note: The day has finally come, Rengoku's pregnant wife was ready for labor. now, lets just fucking get too it-

. . .

It was a dark night, just you and Rengoku sleeping well in bed. The sound of the wind outside, the crickets chirping, and the sound of your husband snoring next to you.

You were okay at first like, you weren't worried that the baby would come too soon. You thought "just a couple more weeks..." till the baby would arrive. I mean, thats what the doctor thought...

Rengoku couldn't wait any longer for the baby's deliver. Everyday he would talk to the baby in your belly shouting "Come out very soon!!! I want to see your adorable face!!!!" And everytime he does that, you laugh. It's funny that He's just talking to your stomach. Rengoku is just rlly excited.

. . .

"mm... damnit... this is the third time..." you silently groan. You get up from bed and walk over to the bathroom. Man... was the baby giving you a hard time...

You then feel sudden cramping... a lot... of sudden cramping. You moan in pain, placing your hand on your swollen belly. You try to suck it up and just stay up for a bit. You walk into the kitchen making yourself some tea to soothe the pain.

You sit down on the mat and take a long sip. The warmth of the tea seemed to settle the pain, which was good. But ... what was not good... was that you felt like you just peed yourself...

You look down on the floor to see a wet mat... then, you suddenly realized....

"Kyojuro!!!!!!????? KYOJURO!!!??" You screamed. Rengoku heard your sudden screaming, quickly got up from bed and ran straight to you. "What??!! Whats wrong?!?!!" He asked. "I... Kyo... Ngh!! I think.. It's Time...!!!" You studder. "HUH!!?? REALLY?!??! IS IT TIME!!????!!!!" Rengoku shouted. "YES!!! NOW HURRY AND GET SOMEONE!!!"

Rengoku panicked, "UH...??" he studdered. "Do you want me to carry you to the Butterfly Mansion?? So Kocho can help????!!!!!" "YES JUST... NGH!!" You scream in pain. "Okay!!! Okay!!! Up We GO!!!" Rengoku picks you up into his arms and rushes to Lady Kocho's Mansion.

"MISS KOCHO??? ARE YOU HERE??? IT'S A SERIOUS EMERGANCY!!!!" Rengoku shouts. "Huh???!! What???!!!" Shinobu ran over. "Whats Wrong???!!!" She questioned. "Y/N IS READY FOR LABOR... WILL YOU HELP US??!?!?!!!!??!" "Oh my!!! Yes Of Course!!!! Take her to the infermery!!! I'll be there in just a sec!!! I'll go call for more help!!!" Shinobu then rushes to find Aoi and Kanao. (she didn't want to call Naho, Sumi, and Kiyo cause they seem to young-)

"Its going to be alright Little Flame! Just breathe!! Take deep breaths!!! Everything is alright!!" "Kyojuro... I'm scared..." You weeped. "No, don't be!! I'm here!! I'll be standing right here the whole way through!!! ...Take my hand.. It's going to be okay... Little Flame.... just calm down... and breathe.. in... and out..." Rengoku cups the back of your head and touches foreheads together. "We're here!! And we have some of the stuff!!! AOI!! KANAO!! Go get more towels!!" Shinobu shouted. Aoi and Kanao then rush to get more.

"Shhh, Just breathe Y/N, breeeathe. steady your breath.. shh, its going to okay, just relax... relax.." Shinobu gently puts her hand on your cheek. "We Got More Towels!!!" Aoi shouted. "Good! Now... Y/N? Are you ready??" Shinobu asked. You nod weakly. "Alright. Now, I'm going to remove your pants okay??" Shinobu said while slowly removing your pants. Kanao places a towel under your legs so all that blood and liquid would be caught in it. (dont want no bloody bed) "Now... Y/N, I'm going to count okay. When I say 3, you push. And keep pushing till I count to 10. Alright? . . . 1 . . . 2 . . .3"

"PUUUUSSSHHH!!!!" Everyone in the room shouted.

. . .

"oh, my..." Shinobu grabs the baby. You hear the first cry of your child... Rengoku looks at his baby, tears falling down his cheeks, Joy growing more and more in him. "you did it Little Flame... We're parents now..." He sobbed with a smile. You give him a faint smile.. you were so exhausted... sweat rolling down from your forhead and cheeks... you face red from all the pushing. "Rengoku!! Please come in here!!" Shinobu called from the next room cleaning up the baby. "Oh! Alright Kocho! I'm coming!! I'll be right back..." Rengoku lets go of your hand and walks over to the next room.

"heh... congratulations Rengoku... here's your new baby boy..." Shinobu says giving him his child. Rengoku grabs his baby and holds it in his arms. Rengoku's smile slowly faded as he looked deeply into his son's eyes. His eyes widen in happiness. Tears falling out of his eyes like waterfalls. "go show her!" Aoi told him. Rengoku looks up at the three girls... "thank you..."

Rengoku walks back to the infermery, "Little Flame!! Look!! It's a boy!! We have a son!!" He said excitedly. You sit up and ask him if you could hold him. Rengoku gives you the baby, and you stare right into his small beautiful eyes. "heh, he has your eyes kyo..." Rengoku silently laughs, looking down to his child.

" . . . he looks just like you . . . Kyojuro. . .❤️‍🔥"

DAMN, THIS TOOK AWHILE- Hope ya'll enjoyed!!!

hellooooo so there's something i've been curious about: u know when (ka)sumi sees black mask crow for the first time and joker get two choices of "oh look your true outfit/wearing that one eh?" for me it sounds like a playful teasing/sarcasm in eng but does jp also carry the same tone? in addition, im also curious about "just everyday akechi/ (forgot the other choice oops)" comment

tbh it's probably nothing that significant but like i said, curious :D

Hello! Let's have a quick look at those lines. Here's the first pair:

そっちで来たか socchi de kita ka Wearing that one, eh? Oh, you came in that? 本来の姿だな honrai no sugata da na Oh look, your true outfit. Oh, look, your true form.

The first one is pretty much the same, but the second is different. sugata does mean someone's outfit or appearance, but honrai no sugata is a common phrase used to refer to someone's "true form"—such as a Shadow's.

This pays off with the next pair of responses you mention:

いつもは違う itsumo wa chigau Yep, this is his normal. He’s usually different. あれが正体 are ga shoutai Just everyday Akechi. That's his true form.

If you've played with the Japanese audio at all, you know shoutai—from Joker's yell as he ambushes, "Show me your true form!", shoutai o misero! So both the "true outfit" and "everyday Akechi" responses are wordplay, on the idea that Akechi is now in his "true form".

But note that first response here, itsumo wa chigau. In English, both responses are the same—essentially, "he's always like this". But the Japanese ones seem to differ?—you can say this is his true form, or you can say yeah, he's not always like this.

As for the tone—I'd say the tone is fairly similar, with the first pair being pointed, and the second being more serious, in reply to Yoshizawa's nervousness. You could read them as playful!—it really depends how you read the situation. It strikes me as being a little fraught, lmao.

An introduction to writeblr , from The Octic Scribe.

Hey all! I am the Octic scribe , or -O/Z for short, pleasure to meet you! Before you begin, im very dyslexic and that may come through, especially if I am writing on my phone. (no muscle memory)

I’m 24 and looking for writing friends , so here’s a little about me-

1- I am a religious studies student who part times as a scary clown in a suit - I’m dead serious right now –

2- I do sumi-e paintings although I seem to be , well, not very good yet.

3- I am a Buddhist! … that’s not quite right, I’m a perennial omnist who believes there is truth in all religions as they all contain knowledge from successive generations! They are all so cool! You know how cool and beautiful it can all be when not given to institutions? It’s the most heart stopping and enthralling thing to research. – but I mostly practice in the sphere of Buddhism.

4- And yes, I am a Percy Jackson kid, if that didn’t come through.

5- I have a cat named Cleo! Short for Cleopatra, short for CLEO BABY WHAT ARE YOU EATING! - Ill post a pic in a sec~

6- Gender- oh boy do I have my thoughts, but in short- I am an eldritch mass and so are you. The human experience cannot be confined to a binary scale, or in truth any taxonomic invention, and therefor-

7- Pronouns are whatever you are most comfortable with. Dead ass. Use what you want- fuck call me comrade I really don’t care.

8- I’m trans in at least one direction. Shout out to planed parenthood in the south for being here.

9- I’m an ex-Mormon! Yeah! Religious trauma! 10- im very new to tumblr, so yeah!

About my writing-

Introducing The Forgotten Throne, or TFT, a fantasy world with the soul of sci-fi. The premise of the world is that four deities creations are being tested, and the being on ariavita (the world of TFT) who claims all four deities thrones ascends to a deity themselves. However, after the the pact of the octogram the four sentinels burned all writings on the thrones. It is a world made for war that rejects its purpose.

With a hard magic system and 8 different fantasy races what’s not to love. There are no elves, dwarfs, ect. Instead, there are the formless yet shapeshifting arcana, the moth like Illuet, and many more.

My first novel in this universe is “Those Who Remember Are Lost” and I am 65 thousand words in! it follows a young watcher (winged beings that are related to humans) and his best friend as they leave there library/home to travel across the world for reasons the mysterious ALEA has not seen fit to tell the travelers. I will polish this more when school and work aren’t biting at me, but I wanted something for you all to know me with, so yeah!

Drink some water!!

Can I ask for tanjiro comforting a fem reader (can be imagine or Drabble whichever is better for you)

tanjiro comforts the reader

type: drabble

pronouns: she/her/herself

word count: 1385

a/n: hello! thank you for making a request, i really appreciate it. i decided to make this a drabble because i wasn't able to expand this request into an imagine. merry christmas, and reminder that requests are open if anyone wants to make one.

“(Y/N)?”

Tanjiro had felt a range of emotions when Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho told him that there was another person recovering in the butterfly mansion besides himself, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. He felt bad for being excited to learn the other patient was (Y/N). Her presence in the mansion meant that she was injured, but at the same time he was excited to see her after months since their last meeting. Once he felt better, he decided to pay her a visit.

She looked well. There were bandages wrapped around her knuckles to her elbows on both her arms, and bandages wrapped around her neck. But, she was sitting up on her own and she was looking out the window. She was injured, of course, but Tanjiro had been worse off many more times before. He was sure that (Y/N) would probably recover before all of them and be on her way to continue slaying demons. She did appear dazed, though.

(Y/N) was staring out the window, as though she wasn’t really in the room right now but somewhere far away. Lost in her own mind that she didn’t even seem to notice that another person had entered the room. Tanjiro gasped, slightly as an intrusive thought entered his mind. What if she was ignoring him? She had incredible instincts as a slayer, she was trained to never let anything sneak up on her. She must be upset with him for some reason or another, not that he could think of some offense he must have committed.

She looked down at her hands. “Tanjiro. Aoi told me that you were here, are your injuries serious?” She questioned, and he could hear that she had been crying in the shakiness of her voice, so unlike her usual confidence.

Tanjiro shook his head, “I am feeling much better. Are you okay, (Y/N)?”

The girl tried to nod, before she shook her head honestly. When she turned to finally face him, there were tears gathered in her (e/c) eyes.

Tanjiro’s mouth gaped open in shock and horror. Tanjiro had known (Y/N) since he had first become a demon slayer. He had known her for years, although he only saw her every couple of months, for a different amount of time each time they crossed paths. Tanjiro thought of her as a good friend. She had always been courteous and more than accepting of Nezuko. And in all that time, he had never seen (Y/N) even upset, let alone crying. He moved his aching legs to enter the room properly and fell to his knees at her bedside and grabbed her hands that had been resting on her lap.

(Y/N) breathed heavily, as she tried to keep herself from crying anymore, as though if she could control her breathing it would stop her emotions. Tanjiro held her hands palm to palm, resting his thumbs over her knuckles. Their hands were so very calloused and scarred. A thin line of tears ran down from the corner of her eyes, and she leaned down to rest her forehead atop Tanjiro’s head, as the tears continued to run down her face. Tanjiro’s hands were cold right now, but there was still the ever present warmth that surrounded him. (Y/N) moved her hands out of his, so that she could intertwine her fingers with his, and nestled her face more towards his forehead, right beside the large red scar on the left side.

They remained like that for an indeterminate amount of time. It could have been as brief as five minutes, but it felt more as though it had been hours. Tanjiro had wanted to say something, to ask questions of what had happened to make her cry, or wanting to offer comforting words. Yet, he held his tongue and just waited as (Y/N)’s tears lessened and her breathing stilled, and she pulled her head away from his own and he could look up at her.

“So-sorry,” she whimpered.

Tanjiro shook his head, keeping his red eyes focused on her intensely. “You don’t have to be sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about.”

She shook her head, “no, I do. I am weak and pathetic.”

“No, you’re not!” Tanjiro insisted, “you’re one of the strongest people I have ever met! You’re such a great swordsman and your breathing style is great.”

“You’re so sweet, Tanjiro,” she mumbled, so quietly as though she didn’t want him to hear her praise. But he had, and it caused his cheeks to turn red with a somewhat burning sensation. It was an amazing feeling to know that she thought of him so highly that he briefly forgot that she was upset. “I’m not strong enough, I’m not good enough. I wasn’t able to save anyone but myself. I shouldn’t be a demon slayer, I am not like you.”

She tried to pull her hands away from him, but he held on stubbornly and looked at her with a serious look. “What happened, (Y/N)?”

(Y/N) looked away in shame. She relaxed her hands and then tightened her fingers around his. She sighed, “I was assigned to act as backup to a mission that was going less than successful. The demon was powerful, it had been feasting on a temple of monks and any demon slayers who came into its territory. We were its prey the moment we climbed up that mountain. All the other demon slayers I went with were the same age as me or younger. Some of them I knew, others I had only met that night. It picked them off one at a time. It had gotten me too, he tried to slit my throat when I screamed, but I was saved by a friend. The demon killed him and I beheaded while it ripped him apart. I was the only one who survived. Twenty slayers, and I was the only one who survived. And only because Takami saved me and died in my place.” She tried to bury her face in her shoulder as her tears returned.

Tanjiro lifted himself off of his knees and onto his feet, but he did not release her hands, only tightening his grip. “You shouldn’t feel guilty that you survived, that you’re alive. There is no reason why you don’t deserve to live, (Y/N), you’re a good person. What happened was terrible but that isn’t your fault. It’s not fair that a demon killed all those people without remorse and you’re the one left feeling regretful. You shouldn’t have to be burdened with these thoughts, because you did nothing wrong.”

She shook her head again.

“I am very happy that you’re alive,” he announced, “I will make sure to pay my respects to Takami for saving you before I leave. He was a good demon slayer who made an impossible decision. He was a good friend.”

“He was,” she nodded. “And so are you Tanjiro.”

He felt his cheeks warm again at her praise, as it had earlier when she called him sweet. Though there was also a disheartening ache in his chest at the mention of them being friends. That was odd, they were friends, that shouldn’t make him upset. “And you’re a good friend, (Y/N). If you leave the corps, I will understand. I just think you should take more time before you make a decision as serious as leaving the corps until after you recover.”

“That makes sense,” she agreed. (Y/N) turned to him, there was still a sadness in her eyes but there was a small smile as well. “Thank you, Tanjiro. I’m not happy about why you’re here, but I am really happy that you were here. You always know how to cheer me up. Thank you so much.”

He blushed, abashedly, “you don’t have to thank me.”

“Would you mind staying for a while?” she asked.

Tanjiro looked down at their hands, which neither of them had ever bothered to let go of from their conversation, so long that he had almost forgotten that they were holding hands. Tanjiro hadn’t ever held a girl’s hand before, beside Nezuko, but that didn’t count. It was the same as holding (Y/N)’s hand.

“Of course.”

HI! IM PUTTING MY CASTLEVANIA SEASON 3 EPISODE 9 (and a little of episode 10) THOUGHTS INTO THE WORLD! HERES YOUR SPOILER WARNING NOW!!

oh my god, ok, so. The absolute MADNESS of this episode starts LESS THAN 4 MINUTES IN TO A 28 MINUTE LONG EPISODE. That’s 24 whole minutes of death defining battles and really controlling s3x.

I mean like, the fights were really cool, they were interesting to watch, ISAAC? Bro that’s insane, I really liked the whole mind control concept that town had, I also don’t think the wizard spoke a word the whole time which was an interesting dynamic for a fight. Isaac breaking out of the mind control is like WOO GO ISAAC. But by far, (and yes im aware this was SUPPOSED to be serious) I found all the people slo-mo falling from the building quite funny for some reason?? I guess it was just unexpected.

Then there’s the whole alucard situation, SUMI AND TAKA? WHAT THE FUCK GUYS? YOU WERE GOOD CHARACTERS HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? WHEN DID THINGS CHANGE?? they were genuinely enjoyable, alucard seemed SAD he genuinely seemed like he wanted them to stay as long as possible! THEY COULD SEE HE WAS LONELY 😭 AND THEY USED IT AGAINST HIM! They basically seduced him, tied him up, TRIED TO KILL HIM. And died. They deserved to die hurting the poor dude like that. Alucard has scars everywhere now and I feel so bad for himmm

Trevor and sypha, good lord. POINT 1: SYPHA WAS RIGHT. SHE SAID, “do you think we can wait?” AND JUDGE BEING DUMBBB went “this is my town. You will do as I say >:(“ AND IT MAKES ME SO MAD! SHE CANT DO ANYTHING AND SHE KNOWSSS. “I just didn’t see it” GRAH POINT 2: that WHOLE fight, oh my god, the FIRE the MONSTERS PRIOR “DRUGLORD” SALA. The whole thing was constructed really well, AND SEEING DRACULA AND LISA. AFTER THE END OF EPISODE 9 IT ALMOST MADE ME THINK IT WAS ALUCARD THEY WERE SEEING. JEEZ IT WAS CONSTRUCTED WELL.

And lastly, my dear wife Lenore, I love her with all my heart BUT WHAT A TWISTED WOMAN?? OH MY GOD POOR HECTOR. IN THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT “oh this has to be more consensual than what’s going on with alucard, she’s probably just Seducing him 🤷‍♀️” WRONG. THE SLAVE RING? THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HURT. AND ALL THEIR SCENES I FEEL LIKE ARE WILDLY MORE REVEALING THAN ANYTHING WITH ALUCARD. BUT SERIOUSLY, That whole plan was really pulled off SO WELL she did a very good job of keeping her own face while KNOWING exactly what she was doing every step of the way. All in all this whole episode pulls together really well into a shamble of absolute terror. And I love it.

Hi, did I do good? Please tell me. Lol.

Will post the next chapter as soon as possible, I promise to make it longer.

CHAPTER 9: STAR BREATHING

It took you for a little while before you became familiar with the path you were walking to, it didn't take long before you reached the butterfly mansion.

When you arrived at the mansion, you were met with worried faces and little cries as you were tackled into a hug.

"Y/n-san! We were so worried" "You didn't come home yesterday!" "We thought a demon ate you" Sumi, Naho and Kiyo, the three little girls of the mansion cried out to you as they embraced you.

"I'm sorry" a small smile tugging on your lips as you embrace them in your arms "I was training" you explain to them.

"Where were you?!" A stern voice can be heard from behind you, following the sound, you saw Aoi, in her stern look, glancing over you, once she saw you were not in any harm, she breathe out a sigh of relief.

"I was tra...-" you were cut off by a sudden outburst of a pigtailed girl.

"Shinobu-sama was worried sick! She looked for you everywhere! She even sent a crow over to other pillars to look for you!" You felt your face redden at the news. You know Shinobu would be worried but you didn't expect that she would go all out of her way to find you.

Aoi pointed in a direction to which you quickly walk to, it's where the pillars are currently having a quick conversation. Regarding you whereabouts

Each step you took was full of dread and you were so embarrassed that Shinobu made a hassle to your well being.

"I really don't know where she went! We ended our training early yesterday" you could hear Rengoku's usual loud voice from the inside trying to explain your last where about. You felt bad for dragging Rengoku into this.

You quickly knock on the door before barging inside, the pillars swiftly look over to someone who dares to interrupt their discussion without the permission to enter.

Relief flashes to their serious face as soon as they see you standing there. You were about to flash them an apologetic smile but stood frozen in shock to see who are the pillars inside. You expect the love and flame to be here with the insect pillar but who you didn't expect was the wind pillar. Shinazugawa. Why?

"Y/n!" You were immediately tackled into a hug by Mitsuri as soon as she saw you.

"aaaah I thought a demon got you! We look everywhere for you Y/n-san" She cried as she locked you in her bone-crushing hug.

"I'm sorry If I made you all worry" You said sheepishly, trying to pull away from her strong grip to greet the others pillars.

You felt a hand on your shoulder, you look behind to see Rengoku standing beside you, he gave you a soft relieved smile, "I'm glad that you're okay Y/n"

You were about to apologize to the poor flame hashira but Shinazugawa butted in "Where have you been Y/n-san?!"

"I.. Uh.. I was with Muichiro last night" you muttered sheepishly, bowing down unable to meet his furious eyes.

"With Tokito huh?! Do you think this is some kind of joke?!" He harshly told you, walking dangerously closer to where you are but Rengoku stood in front of you while you kept your head low, though you tried to explain your side.

"I was only..--" He cut you off, not giving your side a chance to defend yourself.

"You only what Y/n?! Do you think you can play those stupid little games of yours?!" He spat, venom was lace in his voice.

"What games?" You were confused as to what the hell he is talking about.

"Shinazugawa" You heard Shinobu speak from his behind. It was low but dangerously low as if to warn him to stop. But that didn't stop the furious wind pillar.

"Kocho asked you to be back before nightfall but you are stubborn! You never listened! You always do what you want! This is life or death situation Y/n" He spoke in his deadly accusing tone. Every words he spoke stabs you in the heart. You open your mouth to speak but you can't form a single word.

Seeing that you were speechless, he took another step towards you, Rengoku who was still standing in front of you put his hand to Shinazugawa's Shoulder as if to stop him from getting closer to you.

"That's enough Shinazugawa" Rengoku spoke calmly. Trying not to fuel the wind hashira's anger. However, the fury ignited more making him enraged!

"No Rengoku, Y/N needs to learn!" He spat, you could feel his glaring eyes on you. His aura emitting the whole room, was intimidating.

"If you badly want to be a slayer then you better listen to people around you Y/n! Hashira's time should not be wasted on some mere slayer. This is no time to play around with your little crush Y/n" you froze at his harsh and accusations words. His words were like a slap to your face. It true that you like Muichiro but you didn't golf around. Do they all think that?

"I think that's enough Shinazugawa" Shinobu spoke sternly, she was standing behind him, patting his back, she is smiling still but her eyes told me otherwise, she looks angry despite the façade she tries to plaster.

"Aaah please don't fight anymore" Mitsuri cried out, she hates witnessing hatred, she's not used to seeing that.

Shinazugawa face palm letting out a long sigh before nodding at them "I'm going now" he spoke lowly, before storming off.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry everyone" You burst out, face red, you were beyond embarrassed, you couldn't face them, you hope the floor would swallow you up to hide you from this embarrassment "I'm sorry for making you all worry! I was.. I saw Muichiro.. then it was dark.. I was scared and lost... It wasn't his fault. It was mine.. I asked him to train me..." At this point, you were rambling fast, trying to explain but you couldn't speak complete sentences.

"Y/n-san" Shinobu, patted your head softly, "You made us really worried. For the meantime, I'm glad that you're fine, We'll talk about this later, you should rest first"

Nodding softly, your were exhausted and sleepy. A little rest would be nice before talking to them.

A soft hand grabs your arms to drag you outside "Let's go to your room Y/n" Mitsuri squeal excitedly.

"Rengoku-san! Shinobu-san! I'm sorry! I'll talk to you guys later I promise!" You yelled as you were aggressively being pulled by a certain pink haired girl who will bombard you with lots of questions later.

"Now, Y/n-san, would you like to share with me something?" As expected, Mitsuri has started her first question.

"Mitsuri-san, nothing really happens" you said to your friend, you face is frowning, you were too hurt from Sanemi's words to be excited to tell your friend you spend your time with your crush. It was too embarrassing to admit. You feel that you are wasting their efforts to train you and feel bad that they probably think that you're just goofing around.

Quickly realizing that you were still hurt from earlier she immediately mumbled an apology "I'm sorry Y/n! Please don't be upset" you could only nod in response.

"It's okay, Mitsuri-san, you should rest too, I'm sorry for making you worry too" you muttered giving her a small smile.

"It's okay Y/n, we were just worried and please don't take Shinazugawa's word to heart. He's... He's worried about you too, he just shows his emotions... differently"

You could only nod in response before you have fallen asleep.

Picking up your pace. Hand grip on your katana, you ran towards where a young lady was heard screaming.

Arriving at the scene, you saw a demon chuckling evilly to a young lady who was struggling to break his hold against her neck. Lifting her up by her neck.

Without hesitation you jump off, using your breathing technique.

"Star Breathing: First Form.... Dust of Hope"

Your sword formed a bright blue flame around it, jumping off from your position, a brief moment to temporarily hide your presence to deliver your single thrust attack which will come from the above, quickly slashing the demon's arms while you catch the young lady in your other hand.

"Miss, are you okay? Get behind me?!" You ordered as you positioned yourself in a fighting stance. The lady scurried immediately behind you.

"You little brat!" The demon roared at you but your face remained stoic. These things don't scare you easily. Pft.

"Say your goodbye" you said confidently before dashing forward.

"Star Breathing: Second Form.. Rage of Falling Stars"

The breath you used gives you a brief super human speed to dash forward and perform multiple slashes, giving the demon with a burning sensation to your inflicted damage on him. You slash its neck in the process.

You watch as the demons slowly turn to ashes before facing the young lady who keeps thanking you.

You woke up panting, wide eyes as you processed your dream. Was that you? What was that. Star breathing? No, you never heard that before but these dreams, it felt so real. It was like you were actually feeling those emotions. You handle the sword so perfectly well, the way you say your breathing technique it all felt so natural.

Getting up quickly, the need to find the answer was so immense that you couldn't wait another day to see Rengoku for your questions. You thought your technique was a flame breathing. Rengoku will be the one to know the answers.

Striding over to where Shinobu is, she was startled when you came into her working space upon seeing your face sweaty and panting, you ask for the flame pillar. "Where's Rengoku-sama"

"He's in the Garden Y/n, why?" She answered you smiling softly, she wanted what was the fuss why you were asking his whereabouts after your short sleep.

"I need to clarify some things, thank you Shinobu-san" you answer before going to the Garden.

"Hello Rengoku-sama" you greeted the Flame Pillar. "Y/N, did you have a good rest?" He greeted you with a light-hearted smile.

"I need to ask you some questions" Ignoring his question, you immediately blurted out, "What's my breathing technique?"

He was startled with your question, "It's called flame breathing, Y/n?" He looks at you curiously as to why you would ask him when you know it.

"No, no. I mean, what is MY breathing technique before I got injured before" Rengoku froze, realising what you question met.

He patted the seat next to him and you went over to sit next to him, you were holding your breath, anticipating his answer.

"You were previously a flame user, but you alter it with your style, and you call it star breathing."

You close your eyes trying to absorb his words as he explained them to you. Nodding at him to continue.

"I thought that if you learn flame breathing, you will be able to remember star breathing, no one can teach you star breathing as you were the one only who knows that. You are the original user of it."

It all makes sense, the feelings you felt when you look upon the stars, the need to watch the stars when you're feeling incomplete. Those stars, they were part of who you are. Reaching out to you, giving you comfort you didn't know you needed.

Nodding at his response, you tried to form a word but there were so many questions that both of you couldn't answer.

"How to learn them back?" You whisper to yourself but he heard you.

"Believe in yourself Y/n, I believe that you are far stronger than you think you are, you are lost at the moment but we are all here for you" Rengoku offered a bright smile, never faltering a bit.

You smiled at him, thankful that you have a friend someone like Rengoku, who was there to support you.

Immediately posing in a fighting stance, with your new found motivation to strive for more, to gain what was stolen from you. This time you were first to ask the Flame Hashira

"Let's Train" your word makes the flame hashira smile brightly.

rin itoshi isn’t a good person.

because if he was, he wouldn’t be here right now

sleeping ever so soundly beside you as if everything was okay, his face contorts every now and then, as if he’s having quite the adventure in his dreams. You cant help the smile that’s creeping in your face. he’s right here, and he’s yours.

For now

Your smile drops into a small frown as you feel the weight of reality against you.

How dare you feel happy about fooling around with what’s not yours.

Suddenly, you feel everything- the sound of his breathing, the banging of your heart, the tiny drops of rain hitting your window, the suffocating sensation of your naked body against his cotton blanket, the cold hand that rests unmoving against your waist, and the torturous guilt that swallows your soul in every second.

you sometimes question how on earth he can lay around leeching onto you as if he cant feel the weight of the cold metallic ring on his finger

you try to reason that it was an arranged marriage and that it was fine

but it in fact, of course- wasn’t fine

however, in spite of knowing that what you have is wrong- your love reigns over your morals either way.

Your love, only yours. Because this man clearly doesn’t give two shits about your existence.

You were simply the only one brave and attractive enough to be sneaking with him unbeknownst to his wife.

You met him way before he was even totally serious about football, you were childhood friends who spent almost everyday together, until you had to leave to study abroad. Tears brim your eyes as you enter your dad’s car on your way to the airport, he stares at you from his bedroom window as you wave your hand to him.

Back then he promised you he would wait for you.

It was like an unofficial confession- one that you clung onto for the next 7 years you spent on another country.

And yet you return only to find out he hadn’t waited for you at all.

You talked it over and figured why would we let a piece of paper determine who on earth we love?

Or at least that’s what you thought.

Because it’s been weeks since he’s reached out to you. Boredom overcomes every blood vessel within you as you scroll through your tiktok like how you have for the past 3 hours.

Your eyes widen as you see an edit of a familiar figure; holding an umbrella over this gorgeous girl. He’s holding a gold-chained purse that obviously didn’t belong to him as he opened the door of his car for her.

He was just being nice

He doesn’t love her-

But who are you to complain? If he was in love, what’s it to you? What gives you the right to act all jealous?

He never said he loved you did he?

Well then, its probably because he doesn’t.

A voice ringing in your head invades your entire consciousness.

Did you actually expect for him to love you?

If he did, he wouldn’t keep you so hidden, would he?

If he loved you then her name shouldn’t be the one he’s screaming to the world.

Your screen fades to black- snapping you back to reality. You open your contacts and clicks his name.

It takes a few seconds to ring when he finally picked up.

“What? You didn’t tell me you were calling, Sumi almost saw your nickname”

“Oh yeah. Sorry ‘bout that, I was just wondering why you haven’t shown up lately”

“I’ve just been busy, I’ll probably be coming over tomorrow, I’ll update you frequently”

So he’s just busy after all

You secretly breathe a sigh of relief

So he does love me, rin has never been good with words, but if he really loved her, he would cut off all contacts with me. You were trying to convince yourself- as delusional as it sounds, it didn’t matter, it soothed your soul either way

“Oh okay, see you”

You end the call with a smile on your face

Actually, rin has had a lot of affairs before- but you’re convinced that what you and him have is different.

Out of all those girls, I was the only one he promised to love.

Not her, me

Just as promised, he shows up at your doorstep, umbrella in hand. His eyes glisten through the rainwater stuck on his lashes. He puts his coat down as he takes a step towards you- wrapping you with his cold hands.

No words were exchanged between you- just knowing looks and meaningful glances. But you cherish these moments despite it being so empty, because you know that when you wake up tomorrow, he wont be here to hold you anymore.

You’ve been through this a few hundred times- you indulge in the moment while it lasts, this empty and hollow connection is somehow the best part of your existence. And once again, there he is; in all his glory; delicate eyes flutter under the moonlight.

There are a lot of things you don’t know, but one thing you do know is that this may be a sin, and maybe one day, when you’re all grown up and matured, you will look back at these past memories with a disgusted face but that doesn’t matter because for now this is the purest form of love to you. You know he doesn’t love you, but if being an idiot is what it takes to have him near- you were willing to be an absolute delusional fool.

Appreciating the KnY Noh Production: Part 2 of 3

Humans are demons, demons are humans. Weave their eternal feelings, and dance.

Or... nerds are fangirls, fangirls are nerds. Weave their eternal feelings, and screech about how good the Kimetsu no Yaiba Noh/Kyogen stage production was.

This post is going to be my play-by-play of the things I appreciated in the staging and script choices, and I'm writing it assuming you've read through Part 1, which describes more of the background of this production, and more broadly, some Noh theater basics. This review comes in two parts, for this entry I will cover the elements of the first act:

~Surprise! It's Muzan! Part 1~ Okina: Hinokami (as in Hinokami Kagura)

Waki-Noh: Sagiridoushi (featuring Sabito & Makomo)

Shura-Noh: Fujikasaneyama (featuring the Hand Demon)

Kyogen (Interlude 1): Katanakaji (featuring Haganezuka)

Katsura-Noh: Shirayuki (featuring Nezuko... and Giyuu!)~

~Surprise! It's Muzan! Part 1~

As stated in the previous post, I was totally startled by this, as I expected Hinokami Kagura right away because this Muzan part wasn't included the pamphlet. It also totally took me off-guard because he was dressed in Michael Jackson style, and although he was moving with Noh stylistic movements, the overall entrance and delivery felt like something you'd find in a Western-influenced stage production.

Mansai-san--nay, Mansai-sama gave the performances I had the most fun watching, he can do such a variety of styles. I had no idea it was the same person performing later roles, such as immediately after Muzan's brief scare of the audience and declaration that he is a perfect being.

Okina: Hinokami

Seeing as the Okina is a sort of holy dance only performed on special occasions like New Years, this was on point. From a storytelling standpoint, it also helped to introduce Hinokami Kagura right away so that the reference made in the fight with Rui would be immediately understandable to an uninitiated audience. Mansai-sama is back right away as Tanjuro, who against the backdrop of the chanters and musicians, teaches Hinokami Kagura to Tanjiro, in the shite role, played by Ohtsuki Yuuichi*. Hearing the Breaths of Hinokami Kagura set to Noh chant was very cool, especially because they incorporated the movements Gotouge illustrated.

They made no ambiguity about whether this was a fire god or a sun god, though--in addition to using the kanji for "sun," Kinoshita (the script writer) made use of many poetic references to the sun. Speaking of references, while impressing the importance of this dance to Tanjiro, Tanjuro calls it a "dance of Kagutsuchi." If sticking more strictly to the Kojiki records of Shinto mythology, this little fire god of the hearth and protection from fire accidents would be referred to as Kagutsuchi-no-Kami, and although Kinoshita kept the full kanji, he stressed that it should only be read as "Kagutsuchi," in reference to the Taisho Secret in volume 1 in which Gotouge mentioned other possible titles which would had used a reference to this god, like "Onigari Kagutsuchi" or "Sumi no Kagutsuchi" (Demon Hunter Kagutsuchi or Kagutsuchi of the Charcoal).

*Reiwa Secret: Speaking of Ohtsuki Yuuichi, Gotouge's illustration of Tanjiro for this event is based on a photo of this actor performing an Okina, and it seems Ohtsuki was thrilled with it. Like the young actors portraying Zenitsu and Inosuke, it seems he felt a heavy weight of responsibility in portraying Tanjiro (and for one scene, Nezuko). Being a shite role, that means that even when other Kyogen characters could break into simpler styles of speaking for dramatic or comedic effect, Tanjiro was played in a very serious manner for every line. It was a taken on Tanjiro we can't really get anywhere else. We feel the weight of the path of tragedy he walks and morals which structure his conduct, without the refreshing sides of Tanjiro's cheerfulness. It has an air of awe and respect for his circumstances.

Waki-Noh: Sagiridoushi

We begin this scene with Tanjiro exchanging his Hinokami Kagura prop for a Nichirin blade, and entering the hashigakari bridgeway from the stage, imply going from one world or time to another.

From the other side, Urokodaki and Giyuu enter. By the passing of a letter prop and taking turns with narration of the letter's contents, we hear Giyuu's words of introduction to Urokodaki beautifully melded into Noh style chant and delivery. Giyuu is a waki character in this production, and like the shite Tanjiro, his lines are delivered with weight and seriousness. Often he is an observer, a simple, austere presence, and one of the character who felt the most like himself. His costume was rather simple (I attempted a sketch here), but I kind of wish they'd have experimented more with brocade to tone down the colors of the haori with more elegance, like they did for Urokodaki and Nezuko.

Urokodaki, though. He was a Kyogen style character in a waki role, like an adorable old man with more freedom of expression, also played by Mansai-sama. I'll get to my favorite joke with him later, but the training was kept simple as he walked Tanjiro down the hashigakari to the far end, where the simplistic boulder prop was placed. We then were promptly introduced to Sabito and Makomo (who was kind of funny, seeing as she was clearly played by a full-grown man speaking sweetly behind a fox mask), and I don't know if the initial swordplay with Sabito beating up on Tanjiro was traditional Noh, or a modern innovation for telling this story.

In the original script, Sabito & Makomo perform a dance which explains more of the Demon Slayer Corp, including very artful references to all the known Breath styles. Frankly, this whole script is written artfully, like using the listing of the Corp ranks later on for their sound opposed as to their direct meaning in context, but I confess my ears were not attuned enough to the chant to be able to pick these things up like when I read the script later, so all these Breath references were either something I missed or they were cut out to shave down stage time.

The final face-off with Sabito on the hashigakari was very cool in how they only used a single drum with a steady tempo, and because Noh props are simple, practical, and easily moved, Sabito and Makoto immediately hid behind the boulder as the two pieces split. They then reappear from behind the rock, with fox masks to one side, but more traditional Noh masks over their faces, for a ghostly effect as they bid Tanjiro to win at the Final Selection.

Urokodaki grants Tanjiro permission to go, Tanjiro leaves from the far end of the hashigakari while Urokodaki lingers by the stage side. Tanjiro bids him to say hello to Sabito & Makomo. The script notes how when Urokodaki enters, he passes by Sabito & Makomo but does not notice them. Sabito & Makomo look at him before they exit.

Urokodaki is left there alone in the same spot on the hashigakari, remarking how those children lost their lives at the Final Selection. He lifts his hands up in the air and prays, as though ordering, that Tanjiro return safely.

Tanjiro quickly enters and announces he has returned.

Urokodaki is exaggeratedly startled. "Already!?" The audience laughs. Tanjiro is playing this extremely seriously and Urokodaki insists its impossible that a week has already passed, but ah, no matter, Tanjiro must tell him how it went! That takes us straight into...

Shura-Noh: Fujikasaneyama

In true Noh style of characters orating a story that already happened, Tanjiro tells Urokodaki about his battle with the Hand Demon. And, we get the Hand Demon on stage. He looks like this.

(Source and interview with Ohtsuki here)

Not one of the better demons in this production, I felt--initially, anyway. The actual battle was inspired by and paid homage to more traditional Noh stories about heroes, and the Breath of Water practical stage effect with ribbons on the end of the sword was very cool--a lot more grounded than the video projection effects used in the stage musical versions of KnY.

Speaking of traditional stage techniques and working with the confines of reality to guide an audience's imagination...

The Hand Demon's death was slow. Three of the six actors melted away to the back right away, with two still actors remaining behind the actor wearing the face, whose hand Tanjiro slowly and solemnly holds. The slowed pace and dimming of the lighting contrasts with the battle. Tanjiro's lines wishing for the Hand Demon to pass on are beautifully transcribed into Noh style. The moment the Hand Demon dies, the face disappears behind the two actors who just as swiftly reveal themselves as Sabito and Makomo.

And I was like, "WHOA!!!! IT'S THEM!!! THEY WERE THERE AS GHOSTS!!!!!!"

Kyogen (Interlude 1): Katanakaji

With Tanjiro nowhere in sight for this scene, Haganezuka makes himself comfortable telling us, the captive audience, about how Nichirin blades are made. Even better, after quoting some of my favorite panels of lore which are never brought up again, he pantomimes the process of sword making with some simple props, making full use of the fun onomatopoeia of Kyogen.

Putting it into the fire--ouch ouch, ooh, hot!--giving it a hit with a nice 'ten' sound, a nice 'kan' sound, cooling it down in the water, juuuuu, heating it back up--ouch, ouch!--hitting it with ton-ten-kan ton-ten-kan. in the water, juuuuu, in the fire--ouch, ouch!--ton-ten-kan, ton-ten-kan, ton-ten-kan, and he gets progressively faster as he starts complaining about the nerve of some swordsmen and how they treat their swords, ton-ten-kan-ton-ten-kan-ton-ten-kan, until eventually Haganezuka breaks the sword he's working on.

This scene was not performed by Mansai-sama, but Mansai-sama contributed a lot of jokes to it.

Katsura-Noh: Shirayuki

If I could rewatch one scene again, it would be this one.

(Source and interview with Ohtsuki here)

The challenge the scriptwriter Kinoshita faced with Nezuko as the clear shite character to use for the female-centric Katsura-Noh was that Nezuko doesn't speak. She can't tell her own story.

It's a good thing we've got Giyuu for that! He plays the waki, using lines from when he first encountered the Kamado siblings and warned Tanjiro to use his anger to get stronger and such, and it worked very well in Noh chant style. I was listening very closely to it, because prior to the performance I flipped to this part of the pamphlet was expecting a certain element.

In the original conception of this scene, Kinoshita was thinking about scenery as themes and how it is tied to the psyche of the characters--the sun in the Hinokami scene, and the moon in the Rui scene, for example. For Nezuko, he chose pure white snow.

The idea behind this scene is that she is dreaming in her box--she starts and ends the dance in the box prop at the back of the stage, while Giyuu has passed by it and sat at the corner of the stage for the waki. Nezuko is dreaming of her family, and the lyrics of "Koyama no Kousagi" (the song about the little rabbit with red eyes) are written into the script.

Her appearance is that of an innocent girl, but movements of the dance in time with the drums and flute give the impression of a demon. It was striking; the white snow is also in reference to the mind of a young girl fighting on the boundary between humanity and demonhood. Giyuu presence feels as though he is watching over her, as well as watching her.

The script for this scene ends with a striking shift from the innocence of Nezuko's dream to the reality of Nezuko's memories--red splashes of blood against the white snow.

This is the part of the script that almost made me cry as I read it, thinking back to the impact of the movements and sounds on stage.

But you wanna know why else I wanna cry??? Because when the scene ended, I was like, "what?? No!!!! Where were the Kousagi lyrics??? I was waiting for the Kousagi lyrics!!!! How did I not catch them???" and I realized upon reading more carefully later than large portions of the first draft of the script did not make it into the finalized production.

I'm so sad and I want to see this scene again, in full.

Review to be continued (and concluded) in Part 3!

Ooooo yes I'd love to see them

Also, came up with some silly ideas for a persona 5 racing game would you like to hear it after you tell me your p5xpokemon ideas?

UHM HELLO???? YES OF COURSE !!!! atlus hellooo wheres the persona kart : (

ok ok, the visuals:

OK cute explanations. enormous shout out to my friend sage @thymeloop for having the biggest brain and discussing with me yesterday at 3am as to who should everyone be.

protag (in this case, my guy, sergio) : he is a zoroark, but he has disguised himself his whole life as other pokemon. most recently, a meowscarda. : ) aghhhhhhh

zoroark is the trickster pokemon ! with its ability ilussion it can appear as any other pokemon, and in the anime it can also copy their moves. obvs sergio has disguised himself as other pokemon because zoroark are seen as untrustworthy lying tricksters. a. mask if you will. and well meowscarada as his chosen outifit because. well just look at it. completely covers his face from the rest of the world. but also fits his cat-like image and his phantom thief motif.

ann: pyroar ! fire lion with cute nice hair : )

ryuji: luxio ! electric feisty lynx with huge fighting spirit. dyed his hair blonde.

mona: purrloin is perfect. its a dark type cat pokemon that is known to be a thief and have a lot of tricks under its sleeve.

yusuke: glaceon! we considered alolan ninetales too , but personally i prefer glaceon since it has more yusuke vibes to me! ice fox with a sophisticated apperance..

makoto: lucario ! we had a hard time with mako but i decided on lucario! bullet-punching steel and fighting type, known to keep a serious face and be stern with others. also keeps its own moral code up.

haru: hatterene. ehehehe. cute fluffy psychic/fairy lady with a lot of Violence in its heart.

fuba: orbeetle! cmon. funny weird psychic bug with UFO motifs. (hello g-max form) it also has telephaty. fuba..also made me like orbeetle way more hellooooo

goro: first a corvisquire, then after shidos palace, a corviknight. this pokemon was made for goro. crow knight of justice with a dark streak. look at corviknight. hello? black mask hello??? anyways in third sem outside the metaverse, goro doesnt actually have the usual corviknight face armor.. he just never seem to grow it outside the metaverse. so you can see his silly cute eyes : ) he tries so hard to be scary..

sumi: meloetta! ejheheh. i think, for her metaverse and her "kasumi" form, pirouette form with a ponytail is best! then, for her sumi form with glasses (that i didnt draw sorry.) , aria form is the way to go! a graceful, light-on-its feet kind pokemon !

thamk u : )
