My favorite thing to write when it comes to the 2012 boys is writing when they snap.
You'd expect Mikey to scream and shout, no, my boy is emotionally intelligent, he's more prone to being angry and calm. You have no idea how scary it is to be able to do that. And already did it plenty of times before.
"THIS IS FOR MY BROTHER" he says as he throws a couch at Rahzar.
He's thinking clearly enough to throw a literal couch, that is scary.
What's more scary as well is that while he's calm and mad he's the type that has tears flowing through his eyes because he's also the type of person to cry while mad.
And it doesn't make him look weak it makes him even more fucking terrifying.
And he has a patient of a saint when it comes to anger, vro.
I can compare him to a ranging storm.
Raph snapping removes any and all restrictions he has. He would attack like a wild animal, anything and everything around him would get destroyed. He's easily angered out of all of them but when he truly snaps his morals are thrown out the window, which is, by the way, the only other reason he hasn't killed a man yet.
And after that, like fire, his fuel runs out and he will be hit with intense guilt, no matter what. He would just, collapse. He gone. He just staring at a wall.
And we already saw that happen with the ending of season 2, my mans was so mad he was about to attack the closest person, whicj was Mikey, who luckily calmed him down enough.
He shuts down and focused on caring for Leo because he couldn't do that when he saw their father essentially get flushed down the drain.
The way he snaps is like striking a match and watching it die out.
He's explosive and self destructive.
When Donnie does it, it's a whole different ball game. Sure he's prone to bursts of anger when people get to his nerves, but when he snaps, he gets tunnel vision. His anger isn't exactly explosive like Raph or a storm like Mikey's.
He has plans.
Unlike Raph who gets so mad he loses morality, my boy says "fuck morality we ball" and is very ready to murder someone because they threatened to dissect him.
As if he didn't already gets threatened to be turned into turtle sashimi by, i dont know, Xever.
My mans zeroed in on what Don Vizioso wanted to do with him. I think he snapped at that time and wanted revenge because he's helpless when it happened. He didn't want to feel that way again.
He makes meticulous plans, i mean, he made that flowchart of plans with April, he must've thought of the routes and possibilities already.
He's smart when he snaps and it clouds his judgement because he gets too emotional (something i really appreciate with how he was characterized since often times, smart characters are boiled down to being "logical" and "cold")
Anger and a 50 step plan to murder a man is a bad combination but he makes it work.
If Leo didn't stop him, well... There's one less crime lord to worry about.
Speaking of Leo.
Oh this is what I love the most.
I feel like he would be dead silent when he snaps.
Just nothing. Not even a scream of anger. He's so full of negative emotions that it registers as nothing.
If Mikey's was scary, he's scarier. Because at least Mikey shows emotions even if he's calm. He wants you to know he's mad, but Leo?
It takes a lot to make him snap and something inside him just cracks. Fuck emotions, fuck thinking, all that is in his brain right now is cold rage. For the demon skayer fans out there, imagine Tanjiro's fight with Daki, imagine that were Leo instead. He's so mad my boi isn't breathing. He's deadset on turning you into a news paper headline.
Donnie, Mikey and Raph can be calmed.
Not Leo.
Nothing is gonna stop Leo but himself.
Of course that's just my personal interpretation of the characters. I don't even know if this is accurate or whatnot. I just really love these boys.

Omg ur Giyu spicy alphabet was so good and its also got me thinkinnn!!! Would u mind maybe doing some hcs of Giyu’s first time with the reader or maybe go into some more details 😁. Thanks for reading if you get along to it 🤭💗💗
Thank you!!! Also, thank you for sending this in!!
First Time HCs: Tomioka Giyuu
Tumblr media
18+ under the cut~
There's been this long running guessing game going on in your head. 'Is Giyuu into me romantically? Is he feeling me?...Is he even interested in romance?' Giyuu was a difficult person to study. Unless you've gotten close to him...which you have not. And he looked like the type where it would take a while.
Unbeknownst to you , Giyuu was also asking the same questions about you. He has been wanting to be closer to you, ever since he felt you aura and your strength. So what held him back? Nervousness. Also, second guessing his feelings and his unlikely approach.
Months go by. Missions pass. Interactions between you both become frequent. At some point, you figured that you were stuck in a silent dance around Giyuu. The anticipation and need to have this beautiful man grew with each interaction. You needed to make the dance have some sound. There was a decision to approach him; boldly, directly, and little confusion on your stance.
"Tomioka, you're a gorgeous man. Each time I see you, I get shy. But I want to get to know you more. I want these romantic feelings to flourish with you."
Giyuu is not only shocked but amazed that you had feelings for him, found him attractive, and had the courage to admit it. His beautiful space blue eyes widened. He stops breathing, just for few seconds. His face is very rosy.
Giyuu wants to run and hide. But,he doesn't. It would possibly hurt your feelings and ruin his chance, with such an amazing person like you. "I.....feel the same.."
And from then on, you two started dating. The new experience is awkward, but cute. That dance is still there, but much more enjoyable.
You get to the point where you desire all of him, naked and inside your core. But, you're unsure how to go about it. He doesn't look the type to be interested in sex. This needed some tact. You've been increasingly flirty each passing day, becoming more bold by the day. Lingering touches, bedroom eyes, complimenting his appearance. One day, You decided to be direct as it worked in your favor last time.
"Giyuu, I desire you. I want to share my body with you. Will you share yours with me?"
Giyuu went stone cold and his face burst into a wild blush. Even his hair stood up. To hear you state that so confidently, with that sexy voice....Giyuu starts shaking a little. Then he stops. And then, he actually runs away. Leaving you flabbergasted.
Well, that did go well at all.
-
Giyuu, huddled in his room, kept replaying that scene from just moments ago. "Y/n really said that to me...." You were already incredibly sexy. Beautiful eyes, plump lips, cute nose, and amazing hair. Your bountiful body was just as hard hitting. He had already thought about having sex with you, weeks ago. The first thought about feeling your naked body and sliding into you made him shake. He quickly remembers what happened after.
---
"Uhh...Tomioka?! You don't look so good. Are you okay?" Tanjiro exclaimed, shook by this sudden action.
Tomioka stopped his tremors, more surprised on how the hell Tanjiro showed up there and when. "'M fine."
Embarassing.
----
Tomioka eventually does find you and awkwardly agrees.
"I..yes. Let's do it."
Nervous. His hands are shaky and yours are too. You are both just sitting in front of each other in his bedroom.
Taking the first move, you slowly inch forward and kiss him. He melts onto your mouth. Giyuu adored the feel of your soft. plump lips against his. It relaxes, yet excited him more. He moves his hands to touch you, but awkwardly extends and retracts in hesitation. Damn, he's fucking nervous.
"I wanna try something."
You've never seen this man gawk at anything before. But here he was, mouth agape after you undressed in front of him. And now, his body starts shaking. It makes you freak out.
"Y/n...please..so beautiful...continue.."
"Okay...you undress too."
He hesitates but complies. He starts throwing off his clothes quickly, almost getting stuck a few times during the process. You didn't want to laugh, so you just pursed your lips and stood silent.
Finally he was naked. He felt bare. Vunerable. He slyly moves to cover himself, but you slap his hand away. "You're so sexy."
Getting on your knees, you start to give him a blowjob. Giyuu squeaks a bit in surprise. It was happening so fast! He tried to stifle his moans as you performed. His moans sounded weird to him. But your lips and tongue feels too good lavishing his cock. The spit forming around your mouth was an erotic sight. Giyuu makes the delicious mistake of making eye contact with you and he gets so self-conscious. He quickly adverts his eyes.
To hide his embarassment, Giyuu suggests switching.
"Let me pleasure you"
Tomioka goes down on you. You tasted...fleshy with a bit of twang. He doesn't mind it. It's extraordinarily pleasing to his ears when you moan, it makes him dizzy. The contortions of your body egg him on to lick and suck your labia and clit more. But, you wanted him in your mouth again.
"Giyuu, let's try to 69."
"....69?"
Tomioka doesn't know what that is. But once you two try it, he gets really into it. It makes him more confident and hungry to eat you.
If you have any tattoos, Giyuu becomes obsessed. He loves the colors on your dark skin. He will trace the design as he caresses you.
The inside of you feels like the final victory. Two parts connecting at a loving core. So wet and hot. He feels like crying, but he doesn't.
This feeling was addicting. Giyuu thrust slowly, with such sensuality it makes you kick your feet and scrunch your eyebrows. He could go faster, and he could sense that you wanted him to. But he doesn't. Your body needed to be savored like his favorite meal.
Giyuus' eyes gloss over, as if he was in a sexually induced trance.
As he gets close, he starts chanting your name. You feel yourself getting close too. The momentum was building, his tempo slightly speeding up.
"On my stomach...!"
You finish first, convulsing as you yell out Giyuu's name in absolute pleasure. He pulls out, painting your stomach with his cum.
So much cum too, he covers more than half your stomach. You look down wide eyed at how much he's deposited. "....Amazing!" ,
Ahhhh don't say that!! Now he's embarrassed.....again. Tomioka thought he would have been over the shyness by now. He covers it up by making out with you, sliding his tongue in and out of your lovely mouth.
As much as you loved kissing him, the mountain of his seed was starting to become uncomfortable. It was sliding off your stomach onto your sides and the sheets on the bed.
"Giyuu. I need the bathroom."
You come back and lay next to him. He wraps his arms around you and pulls you close. You both slowly drift off to sleep.
But before you could officially close your eyes, you caught him smiling to himself when he thought you were already sleep.
Sometime after your lovemaking, which continued throughout the rest of the day, you spend the next few days getting presents from Giyuu.

Have you read Tanjiro's Status chapter? (takes place Post-story)
HNGGGGGGG!
I want to write a 50 page essay regarding the bonus chapter of KnY because I have a lot of mixed feelings about it (mostly anger and disbelief) and kinda lowkey disappointed how the bonus chapter turns out. I thought the timeskip/next generation ending chapter was super bad but no! The bonus chapter actually surpasses it; which shocked me! I wish it didn't even exist.
Tumblr media
But I'll just do a super short comment regarding the bonus chapter to avoid scaring people away. Lol!
xxxxxx SPOILER!!! DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED READING THE MANGA!!! xxxxxx
First of all, the bonus chapter did everyone dirty! Especially the main characters! Like seriously? Gotoge-sensei, do you hate your main characters so much?! The main characters don't have any future life plans at all after demon slaying except Zenitsu (which we all know right from his first introduction that he wants to get married and live a normal life). I mean, I can understand that it's hard to think of something up for Inosuke but for Tanjiro to not have any future plans at all after demon slaying? Your main hero? Seriously?! Also, the poor boy mentioned that he can't sell coals anymore in the long run because people are switching to electricity and ... that's it. We were left hanging on what happens to Tanjiro's future after that. Yes, he will later on marry Kanao but even then, we only know this fact because it was mentioned by Gotoge-sensei outside of the official comic! Also don't get me started on Tanjiro and Kanao pairing. It is so out of the left field (It's like Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley pairing all over again but even more random!). Tbh I think Tanjiro should've married Mitsuri or maybe even Shinobu instead of Kanao because they have more chemistry and character interaction (at least in the anime). Gotoge-sensei could've made Tanjiro/Kanao work by showing how they fall in love after their demon slaying days ended, but nope! It's just one page (if I'm not mistaken) of Tanjiro visiting Kanao for medical check up in the Bonus Chapter. How are the readers suppose to pick up on the fact that they're in love and will live happily ever after just based on that one page?! Both Tanjiro and Kanao deserves a better love story.
Moving on to Nezuko. My poor dear Nezuko. Even when she's turned into a human with free will once again... she has no character growth. She's just nice. That's it. Just a nice girl. A nice and hard working girl. She's so nice everyone! And helps her brother and her friends around the house. Wow, amazing! Gotoge-sensei should've written the Bonus Chapter based on Nezuko's perspective instead. Write about how she felt when she was a demon all those long years and the anger/sadness/trauma it caused her. Or if you want to go for a more positive story, write on how she overcame her trauma with the help of her brother and friends. Alas! Nezuko ends up being just The Typical Nice Shounen Girl Character in the end.
Next, Inosuke. First of all, I just want to mention that when I was first introduced to this character in the anime; I immediately thought that he has the best and interesting character design and personality. Sadly, he ends up being the most boring character out of the main three because Gotoge-sensei really doesn't know where to go with Inosuke. He's just a loud wild child and... that's it really. In the Bonus Chapter, he remains relatively unchanged even after all the tragedy he went through. I mean it's not a bad thing to remain the same person but personally, I think Gotoge-sensei could've pushed the character to become more than just a loud wild child. What a waste of good character design. Also, I think Inosuke and Nezuko should've been the end game. Yes! I went there.
Lastly, my beloved Zenitsu. (Warning! I will be super biased here because I love my Zenitsu ok?) You would think that I should be really happy and pleased that the Bonus Chapter story actually revolves more around him. But no, I am actually angry that the Bonus Chapter focuses on him at the expense of destroying his previous character growth. WTF GOTOGE-SENSEI WHY YOU DO THIS?! I'm mad that he reverted back to his old personality after all the hardship, hardwork and trauma he went through. I mean sure, Zenitsu was suppose to be the comedic relief character (aside from Inosuke) but I think he no longer matches that role in the end; especially not after experiencing a life changing tragedy. Plus, wasn't it his goal to be a better person than before? Shouldn't that be Zenitsu's happy ending (besides marrying Nezuko)? Nope! Gotoge-sensei basically whacked Zenitsu back to the starting point in the Bonus Chapter. Come on man! The dude just killed his step brother and lost his grandpa; pretty sure a person would definitely grew leaps and bounds in terms of maturity after that (or breakdown...). But nope, Zenitsu is just a silly crybaby again. Back to square one. I tried to rationalize that perhaps due to all the trauma and tragedy he faced, he reverted back to his old lazy and crybaby personality but then, that would make Tanjiro look bad because in the Bonus Chapter Tanjiro was (in my opinion) very harsh on Zenitsu. He basically confronts Zenitsu; telling him he needs to grow up and start acting like a man if he wants to get married. To stop whining about the leg pains he still feels and to stop writing nonsense stories. Remember, the Bonus Chapter happens a few months after they defeated Muzan. Zenitsu has just experienced the craziest shit ever (i.e. killed his step brother, lost his beloved grandpa, watched his comrades die, watched his best friend Tanjiro died and later turned into a demon and witnessed his future wife Nezuko being hurt by his turned demon best friend). I don't think Zenitsu even had the time to process and heal from all the traumas he went through and here comes stoic Tanjiro; basically just flat out telling him to grow up and stop being useless which is so out of character of him. Yes, Tanjiro can be blunt sometimes but he's not cruel. I dunno, maybe Tanjiro is also not over his horrible traumas and is lashing out on Zenitsu but then again this would also be out of character. So yeah, it's bad writing all around. Yishhhh...
Also, I think Zenitsu should've end up with Kanao. Yes, I went there too! Lol!
Ok, I'm definitely gonna stop here. I could go on and on but... it's almost 2.00 am and I have work tomorrow. Lol! ;w;
Actually, I have another interpretation on why Tanjiro is super harsh towards Zenitsu in the Bonus Chapter but it has a more Tanjiro x Zenitsu flavour to it. More like, a conspiracy theory that actually Gotoge-sensei wanted Tanjiro x Zenitsu to be the end game but can't because of shounen anime reasons. If you guys want to hear my crazy theory just lemme know. Hehehehehehe hahahahaha!

"You Do Love Me...Right?"
Tumblr media
Pairing(s): zenitsu agatsuma x tsundere!reader
Genre: angst->fluff
Synopsis: after countless rejections, zenitsu is ecstatic when you finally accepted his confession, even if you told him he had to wait in order to marry you. your're dating, but it doesn't really feel like it. you do love him...right?
Warning(s): crying zenitsu :( quick glimpse of soft!sanemi if you squint, not proof read 0_0
Kao's Notes: i know i have quite a few requests, and i haven't forgotten them! i just had this idea and i wanted to see how it'd go, but idk how i feel about it yet. i also wanted to write for someone other than rengoku for rn lol. also, this one feels kinda long to me, soooo grab a snack!
Tumblr media
a certain level of patience is required when dating zenitsu
he's in need of constant reassurance, as his self-esteem isn't the highest by any means which we all know
you initially met each other at the spider forest incident
you're actually the tsuguko of sanemi, as you shared the same breathing technique, and he deemed you, "not a complete waste of time..."
but you felt it'd be beneficial to take on the art of medicine as well, so you could aid in both offense and defense. shinobu was more than happy to teach you, and you grew to be quite the medical asset
when giyuu and shinobu were called to the forest, kanao and yourself were called to accompany them to provide support
sanemi was inwardly hesitant to let you go, not liking the idea of his protige possibly facing a demon moon–even a lower one– this early in their slayer journey
he never did that admit it to you though, he just flopped a heavy hand onto your head and sent you on your way, muttering a gruff, "don't go dying on me to get out of training...you better come back."
later in your journey, giyuu and shinobu had gone ahead, leaving you and kanao to travel together. you didn't mind though, she didn't talk much and neither did you, so you didn't mind traveling with her. she could also hold her own
along the way, you two had split up, providing help to those in different sectors of the forest to cover more ground
after treating everyone in a portion of the forest, you moved on to another, where shinobu so happen to be, and she looked to you. "ah, good timing, y/n. would you mind finishing this boy's treatment," she stood and began on her way. "the poison's gotten awfully far. treat him quickly, will you. oh my!" she looked at zenitsu. "his face is very red! best you hurry, y/n!"
with that, shinobu sped off
wordlessly getting to work, you began to perform your quick treatment on the boy clad in yellow, bringing out a large roll of bandages from one of the many pouches you attached to your belt
"there," you continued wrapping the boy up, speaking in a monotonous yet gentle, voice. "you're going to be just fine, i can assure you."
he wanted to say much more, but in his increasingly weakening state, all zenitsu could utter was a quiet, "p-pretty..."
that definitely threw you for a loop, not that you'd let him see it. you just continued to wrap up his body, opting for a curt, "try not to talk too much...save your energy."
and that was your first encounter with the boy
after the whole incident with the master's decision to keep nezuko and her brother, tanjiro, as demon slayers, you continued your training with sanemi as usual
he was internally relieved to see your safe return, showing it with a swift smack on the head with a, "it's about time you got back," he turned on his heels, beckoning you to following him, which you did, gladly. "back to your training"
you'd been called upon to assist tanjiro with his training when you weren't too occupied with your own, alongside kanao. and you had to admit, being quite the challenge against the boy was rather entertaining
he returned day after day trying to best you in tag and hand-to-hand combat. but, your favorite was some cup of water game where you were granted the entertainment of throwing water in the boy's face if you managed to cover his hand before he could cover yours
and you beat him everytime
later, zenitsu and inosuke joined in the game-like training, and inosuke was rather good at the tag portion of it. he was eager to catch you, and he did, holding you above his head as he did so
zenitsu was a different kind of eager
he vividly remembered you from the forest, healing his wounds and treating the spreading poison from his body. you were breathtakingly beautiful in his eyes
and now, he has to catch you! actually hold you!
the game of tag was a walk in the park for him. you were quite the encouragement, in his opinion, as he was more than happy to chase after you and claim you as his prize
you, on the other hand, were dumbfounded
you weren't surprised inosuke was able to catch you. hell, you thought he'd run after anything that moved, but zenitsu's sudden devotion to you was odd
his eagerness to catch you threw you for a loop; you never had to run so fast in your life, but he still managed to reprimand you
but he didn't immediately slam you back on the ground *cough* like inosuke *cough* no, he handled you like you were the most precious thing in the world
then he went on about marriage, and that's when you pushed yourself off of him
and your relationship grew from there
he began by giving nezuko a heartfelt "break up" soliloquy, proclaiming "his heart has been captured by another." and the demon girl replied with a relieved "mmh"
zenitsu would constantly trail behind you, declaring his undying love for you, not allowing a day to go by without you hearing his marriage proposal
"why the hell would i marry you?" would always be your reply, and he'd falter a little but would always bounce back and try again the next time he saw you
as time passed, you grew inwardly fond of zenitsu, finding his unwavering admiration for you oddly adorable
he'd get water for you when he's sees you undergo a challenging training session with sanemi and gush endlessly about how strong you are
after a while, when zenitsu asked you to marry him, your responses would subtly changed
when he'd drop to his knee in front of you, loudly exclaiming "y/n! please, marry me!" your response changed to, "don't be stupid. we're way too young for that."
and zenitsu caught on to that! "so you're saying, in the future, when we're older, we will?!?!" you cleared your throat, rolling your eyes and walked away without providing him with a response
but he's persistent
later one night, when you're getting ready for bed, zenitsu gave you his final declaration of love for the day, asking for your hand in marriage
"zenitsu," you started in feigned annoyance, "marriage is for something years later. when we're absolutely. certain if you want us to get that far, we need to start from square one."
'us'...'we'...hang on
"AHHHHH!!! ARE YOU SAYING...Y-YOU WANNA BE WITH ME?!?!" zenitsu's yelling caused your ears to ring and you quickly shushed him, "shh, yes. now, shut up before you wake everyone up"
he's been (clingier) clingy since that night
zenitsu's love language is physical touch, and you're not too used to that just yet, so anytime he runs up to hug you, you react like you normally would
you'd push him off of you, only more gentle than usual so he wouldn't fall on the ground below
9 times out of 10, zenitsu's doesn't pay any to your tsundere tendencies and he hugs you again, as he knows you'll cave in eventually
but you never returned his hugs
and there's only so much he can take before he starts to question whether or not you actually love him
you just always seemed so...done with him
anytime he'd appear, greeting you with his usual enthusiastic hug and a kiss on the cheek, you'd hastily turn your head away, "w-warn me next time, sheesh." then you'd only reciprocate it with a flick to his forehead or something, but you wouldn't even look at him
zenitsu thought it'd eventually calm down once your relationship, if he could even call it that, grew but he's not so sure anymore
Tumblr media
you might've bitten off more than you could chew this time. might've.
with the level of intensity that came along with sanemi's training, missions grew to feel much easier. since you shared the same breathing style as him, your forms became that much stronger. demons weren't going to stand a chance against you.
unbeknownst to sanemi, you've been working on creating an 11th form with the additional help of tomioka.
it's true, you've gotten stronger, but your current predicament confirmed the that you still have a way to go.
your bright green nichirin blade was lodged in between the sharp fangs of a demon, who you could tell was in close relations with kibutsuji based on their power.
you were pinned roughly on the ground, wincing at the many jagged rocks that pierced into your back as you struggled to free your leg from between the demon's. the muscles in your arms began to burn, the weight of the demon's body beginning to become unbearable.
once your leg was freed, you brought your knee back before fully extending it, delivering a painful kick to the demon's chest. after the demon went flying, you quickly regained control of your breathing.
you charged towards the demon, barely giving them any time to recover. before the demon could blink, you were behind them. a small 'thump' echoing in the small town as its head rolled against the concrete.
collapsing to your knees, you cursed beneath your breath as your injuries began to take effect, the adrenaline you felt during your battle wearing off. digging your blade into the dirt, you supported your weight into the hilt of the blade before pushing yourself up from the ground.
haganezuka-san would surely have your head on a platter is he witnessed you doing this to one of his precious blades, but if you hadn't, you would've continued laying in the blood-soaked dirt.
"caw! caw," you nearly jumped out of your skin at the sudden appearance of your faithful crow. "y/n, please make your way toward the wisteria house for recovery! shinobu's assistants will help you there!"
ignoring the loud mouth bird, you began to limp your way to the wisteria house.
"caw! caw! y/n, please make your way to–CaW!" the crow squawked, flying out of the way when you tiredly swatted at the bird in agitation.
"i heard you!"
the trek to the house felt incredibly long, your legs growing weaker with every step you took. thankfully, the nearest wisteria house wasn't too terribly far.
upon arrival, you were quick to find the nearest bath and rid yourself of the blood and dirt. wrapping the soft yukata the kind lady brought around your waist, you made your way back to your room.
sinking to your knees on the soft mat below, a soft sigh left your lips.
"zenitsu's probably worried..."
truth be told, you felt incredibly guilty.
you know zenitsu is trying his hardest to make you feel like a queen in your relationship. it nearly impossible not to see. from him serenading you with the most heartfelt monologue when you were to set off on a mission alone, to the enthusiastic praise he'd offer during training, you knew zenitsu loves you. and you love him too...
you just don't know if he knows.
relationships, being friendly or platonic, isn't your strong suit. the mere thought of becoming vulnerable with others, or putting any amount of trust in them, is terrifying.
"i love you," seemed like the most complicated phrase to say. and it was only three word! three! so why are they so hard to say?!
"nnn-channnn...."
the hell? you stopped and listened, wondering if your ears were playing tricks on you. they weren't, by the way.
"y/nNnNNn-chAaAaAnAnnnnnn!"
oh zenitsu...
his footsteps and wailing grew louder as he came nearer. the door nearly slid off it's hinges at the amount of force he used to push it open.
"quit screaming," you began to scold. "others are trying to res–"
your back nearly collides with the floor as zenitsu wrapped his arms your neck, attacking you in a relief-filled hug. he wailing only increased in volume.
"y-y-your crow came back and said you were injured," you grimaced at the sound of him inhaling snot back into his nose, but let him hug you nonetheless along with a half hearted head pat. "i didn't know if you were coming back! w-w-who would protect me of you died?!"
"it's nothing to cry over, zenitsu." you gently pushed him off of you.
"w-why," he sniffles before wiping his nose on his sleeve. "why do you always do that..."
now you weren't stupid.
at some point in the relationship, you knew zenitsu would question you. you believe he is more perspective than he lets on, and you knew zenitsu noticed your lack of emotional response.
you just weren't prepared for the conversation, no matter how many times you rehearsed it in your head.
"...do what," you decided to play aloof for a while, eyes narrowing in confusion.
"that," zenitsu motioned to you. "you're just always so...emotionless all the time." you furrowed your eyebrows.
"i'm not emotionless," you subtly gripped the sleeve of your yukata. "i'm just not a sensitive person, like you."
"i know that," zenitsu's voice grew softer by the second. "but i have to wonder sometimes, y/n, you do love me...right?"
your heart dropped to the pit of your stomach.
although, you're not surprised either. the last thing you wanted was for zenitsu to question your love for him because, believe me, you loved him more than anything. but, with the conflicted look on his face, it was apparent that he wasn't aware of it.
you tried to show him your love in small gestures rather than words: your timid head pats, covering him with a blanket anytime he fell asleep in random places, and connection your pinkies together whenever you were assigned the same mission. you tried. you really did.
but it seems it wasn't enough.
"i see..." zenitsu took your shocked silence as an answer to his question before he picked himself up from the mat and made his way out the door.
you didn't move. you couldn't move. watching zenitsu walk out that door hurt you more than anything, and for the first time in years, your tears splashes against the wood floors below.
days after that, you were finally released from the wisteria house, and you could return to the demon slayer corps headquarters.
all you could think about was zenitsu on your way back.
you and crow would usually bicker back and forth, making the time fly much quicker. but the trip was filled with melancholy silence, as you were in no mood to talk with your spunky crow today.
luckily for you, sanemi kept you busy with training once you returned. saying something along the lines of "you've had enough time off; now hurry up and follow me to the training grounds." which you knew was a direct translation for "i never want to come that close to losing you again." that's why, you believe, you and sanemi got along so well.
you both show your true feelings through small gestures and underling messages. and you immediately picked up on it, both of you.
while sanemi kept you busy, zenitsu moped about. his newfound sadness hit tanjiro's nose like a ton of bricks, and he couldn't be more worried.
and it wasn't just from zenitsu. anytime tanjiro walked past the training grounds, where you and sanemi reside, the same sad smell entered his nose. while you were occupied and training well, you were sad too.
on the outside, it appeared you had your same stone cold expression. but on the inside, you were despondent. all you could think about was zenitsu.
"you're done for today." sanemi's gruff voice cut through the air. he sheathed his sword as he watched you pant heavily from your recent sparring loss. "i'm not gonna waste my time if your head's not in it. go figure your shit out."
without giving you a chance to retaliate, sanemi walked away from you, tossing you a towel before completely making his leave.
"y/n-chan," you were in the middle of wiping the sweat off your face when someone called your name. peaking from the cloth, you gave a nod.
"hello, tanjiro." you were considerably close with each other. tanjiro was arguably the most kind-hearted soul you've met, and he read your emotions remarkably well. and it wasn't uncommon for him to help you with them as well.
"how're you," he placed his hands behind his back, looking at you expectedly. you rolled your eyes.
"you want something," you dropped the towel around your shoulders. "what is it?"
the boy sweat dropped and scratched behind his head, "o-oh you caught that, huh? hehe..." you lifted an eyebrow, waiting for him to get to the point. "well, it's...is everything okay? with you and zenitsu, i mean?"
the same sad smell hit his nose again; he got his answer.
"...n-no. it's not okay," a frown tugged at your lips, your eyes casting towards the ground. "i messed everything up, tanjiro."
tanjiro frowned at the crack in your voice; he'd never witnessed your expression change, and the fact that the first one he witnessed was sadness didn't sit well with him.
"what happened?"
"my stupid emotions," you gripped the towel, "or lack thereof. z-zenitsu doesn't think i love him, tanjiro..." tanjiro furrowed his brows.
"why not," tanjiro scratched his chin with his index finger. "i can easily tell you love him? why can't he?"
"i'm just...terrible at saying it; i've never been able to. i tried showing him, i did, b-but i guess it wasn't enough."
"y/n–"
"no, i-it's fine. this is my fault, anyways." you spun on your heels, heading towards the nearest bathhouse. "i'll see you around, tanjiro."
the young slayer was about to follow you, but he figured it'd be best to leave you be. emotions leave room for vulnerability, something he knew you weren't too keen on, so left you to gather your thoughts.
instead, he had to go talk some sense into someone else.
it didn't take long for tanjiro to find zenitsu; all he had to do was follow the depressing smell. and there he was, curled up in his room.
"zenitsu..." said boy flinched at the sudden voice.
"o-oh tanjiro," zenitsu slowly sat up, wiping the tears from his cheeks. "what're you doing here?"
"well," tanjiro scratched the nape of his neck. this was a touchy subject, and he was feeling nervous about bringing it up. "i talked to y/n earlier, and–"
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
zenitsu's wailing caused tanjiro to flinch; he gulped at the yellow boy's sudden burst of tears.
"tanjiroooo," zenitsu nearly knocked the poor boy over as he went to hug him. dramatically sliding down, zenitsu dropped to his knees and continued to sob into tanjiro's stomach. "why doesn't she love me, tanjiro?! i-i was right all along! i-i-i'm just gonna DIE ALONE!"
"z-zenitsu," tanjiro frantically strarted. "please calm down. "
"CALM DOWN?!" zenitsu screamed. "i find out the woman i love doesn't love me, and you tElL mE tOo CALM DOWN?!"
"zenitsu–"
"i didn't know you were so heartless, tanjiro! HOW COULD YOU?!?!"
"z-zenitsu, please just–"
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
tanjiro gulped as zenitsu continued to wail loudly into his shirt, and he finally pushed zenitsu so he could look at him, grimacing as a string of snot connected from his shirt to zenitsu's nose.
"ZENITSU!"
he sniffed, "w-what?"
"she does love you."
"n-no she doesn't," zenitsu admitted in defeat. "i asked her, a-and she didn't answer me, so..." his voice grew increasingly weaker, and tanjiro sighed.
"i know she loves you zenitsu, but–"
"i-if she loves me," zenitsu cut him off. "why hasn't she told me..." he asked in defeat, and tanjiro relaxed his shoulders.
"i-it's just...not easy for her to say, but zenitsu, haven't you noticed her show her love in other ways..." tanjiro asked in a knowing tone.
"w-what," zenitsu paused to sniffle. "whaddya mean?"
"just think back for a moment, zenitsu."
zenitsu furrowed his eyebrows, thinking back.
----
"y/nnnn," zenitsu cried out in fear. "i-it's so dark out here!" you sighed.
"well, yes zenitsu, demons can only come out during the night," you responded sarcastically, pushing forward through the woods. "so, why wouldn't it be dark out?"
"y/n!" zenitsu scurried to catch up with you, as he somehow fell behind. "please don't leave me! i wouldn't last a minute out here alone!"
"c'mon," you interlocked your pinkies together, causing zenitsu's panicking to cease. "just stay close 'nitsu," your voice grew soft, eyes softening every so slightly as you kept them locked on the terrain ahead. "everything's okay."
zenitsu didn't say anything, only looking at your connected pinkies as his cheeks and the tips of his ears dusted pink, trailing behind you like a lovesick puppy.
----
zenitsu slowly stood from his kneeling position, as his mind reminded him of, yet another, declaration of love from you.
----
returning from a rather tiring mission, zenitsu couldn't wait to collapse on his comfortable bed. he'd never taken a bath so quickly in his life.
after changing from his uniform to a comfortable kimono, zenitsu collapsed into his bed. the soft mattress has never felt so comfortable.
just as he was about to doze off, zenitsu heads his door close. he didn't bother opening his eyes to see who it was, he was far too tired for that, so he remained still listening to the soft padding if feet approach him.
feeling his hair get pushed back from his forehead, zenitsu's heart nearly pounded out of his chest when he heard you.
"i'm glad you made it back, zenny," you whispered before pressing a soft kiss to his forehead. "rest well."
gently pulling the blanket over his shoulders, you gently ran your fingers through his soft hair. after you finished tucking him in, you quietly made your leave, carefully closing the door behind you.
zenitsu's eyes shot open, any ounce of sleep leaving him. he couldn't wipe the giddy smile off his face that night.
----
gripping his hair, zenitsu let out a panicked wail.
"AHHHHHHH!!! WHAT DID I DO?!?!"
"calm down," tanjiro spoke out. "this can be fixed. just go talk to her, and i'm sure everything will work out," tanjiro placed a soft hand on his friend's shoulder with a reassuring smile.
he didn't have tell him twice.
before tanjiro could even blink, zenitsu was out of the door and on his way to find you.
you just finished your bath after sanemi's training, and are currently seeking refuge in your own room.
"nnnNNn-chAaAaAnAAAAANNNN!!!"
your door nearly flew off it's hinges at the force zenitsu used to open it.
"zenitsu? what's wro–oof!"
arms wrapped around your waist, knocking you to the ground in a bone crushing hug.
"please forgive me, y/n-chan," he buried his face into your chest, immediately flustering you.
"i-i don't even know what you're talking," you tried nudging him off of you, but that only caused his grip to tighten.
"i doubted your love for me! i promise it'll never happen again!"
"zenitsu...you were right to question me..." your eyes cast down to the floor in a guilty manner. "i-i've never been able to say it, so i see why you'd have your doubts," zenitsu lifted his face out of your chest, resting his chin on it as he looked up at you.
"but i promise you," you finally looked up at him, and his heart nearly melted at the nervous smile you gave. "i...i really do love, zenitsu."
...
your smile fell; zenitsu didn't say a word, only stared at you. did you wait too long to say it? was it not convincing? because you do mean it.
"zenitsu, a-are–"
he tackled you to the floor again, this time, rubbing his cheek against yours before peppering it with vigorous kisses.
"hahaha," he laughed, feeling giddy. "you loveeee meee!"
you deadpanned, and playfully rolled your eyes with a scoff. well, at least he feels better now.
~3 hours later~
"y/nnnnnnn" not again.
you huffed as zenitsu cooed your name for the millionth time, "what."
"do you love meeee," he asked in a whiny/teasing tone, drawing patterns on your cheek as he did so.
"yes," you rolled your eyes. "for the millionth time," you mumbled to yourself.
zenitsu was back to his giddy, lovestruck self and began nuzzling into your side. you gave an exhausted sigh.
'this is why i didn't say it.'

going ahead and filling out the rest of the questions from @thischachamaru 's ask game!!!
☀️ - How did you watch Mugen train for the first time? (In theaters, at home…)
I watched it at home on a crappy quality """""""free"""""""" version, and at the time I was more focused on Tanjiro losing it the entire movie LOL.... eventually I watched it more properly when I got more attached jdsfjdskfsdk
⚔️ - More importantly, did you cry when Rengoku… yknow… died lol
yes. and I cry ever since too. my husband
[going under readmore from here cause now I start rambling fjsdjfsdfsdk]
❄️ - what are your feelings about Akaza? Was he an effective villain in the story? Do you like him in AUs?
I like Akaza a lot! I don't necessarily think he's... an effective villain though, so much as he's just a catalyst for the development of other characters like Tanjiro. Which isn't a bad thing, and yes I know that that's also a big reason for villains to exist! But what I mean is Akaza didn't really do much for the story as a whole besides being the one that killed Kyojuro, which could have been any other of the higher upper moons, and it wouldn't have changed the outcome or Tanjiro's development at all. Since he's deliberately kept around across multiple arcs and isn't just "the demon of the week" like many others, I think there's more of an expectation that he should contribute more to the larger plot, or at least show up more and maybe even be a long term rival to Tan, but he just doesn't....
💤 - what are your feelings about Enmu? Was he an effective villain in the story? Do you like him in AUs?
ENMU my precious little meow meow. I love and cherish him. Perfect boy did nothing wrong. Hhffdfjsjfs but seriously though, he's one of my favorites, I think his gimmick power is really fun and I would have loved to see him realize his potential and become an insane upper moon lol. In contrast to Akaza I think the fact that he is a "demon of the week" only there for one battle demon makes him work better as a villain, and he did a lot for helping Tan feel and acknowledge his grief over his family, something which he'd been repressing a lot since it happened. I love this weird little train man in AUs there's so much his dream stuff can do for angst LOL
💭 - In a world where the train ride lasted longer, what do Rengoku and Tanjiro dream of?
I definitely think there's a lot to be considered for their ideal lives here.... For Kyojuro, his dream seemed more like a memory to me, but if it went on longer and Enmu leaned into more of what would be ideal to Kyojuro, I think part of that would be like... Shinjuro apologizing to him for being so dismissive of becoming a hashira. Giving some acknowledgement to him and his efforts, which is all he wants really... because of his duty-centered mindset he was raised with, he desperately wants to know that he's doing well. With Tanjiro I think he just wants to see more of his family thriving. There'd be things like, going down to the town and people praising how big his siblings are getting... giving them treats.... maybe they manage to come into a little more money so they can buy a few extra nice things. Nezuko is making friends and is very popular in town and everything just feels like it should be. All in all, Tanjiro is a gentle and humble person and doesn't want for much... as long as his family is well, that's all that matters. (I did consider that his father would be around, but given that it was such a big event in the family + it is so integral to how Tan developed growing up, it'd be too much for Tan to just accept as reality and he wouldn't be able to stay in the dream.)
🎴 - do you ship Tanjiro with anyone else? If yes, who? If no, why not?
On occasion I think he's cute with Zenitsu! but otherwise uh, not really sdfhsdfjdsfksd. Kyo is the perfect one for him, they are soulmates.
❤️‍🔥 - do you ship Kyojuro with anyone else? If yes, who? If no, why not?
Again I am sometimes a Kyo/Sanemi enjoyer, and I have a canon-divergent HC where they met at their selection and became best friends. mostly tho yeah only Tanjiro, I just think there's too much with Tan and Kyo that makes them perfect, they understand each other like no one else could
💣 - share your most controversial RenTan take. Set your thoughts ablaze!!
I don't think this is controversial necessarily... just that I seem to be in the minority fhdsfkds but I don't think Kyo'd be angry/annoyed/offended etc if Tan doesn't use formalities or honorifics/titles and such... I see it a lot and I get where it comes from but I don't see him as the type to mind it! When I read it it comes off as Kyo being arrogant to me. I do think rank is important to him in terms of like, an acknowledgement of his achievements and what he's accomplished for his duty - but he doesn't see his position as hashira as a position of power and authority necessarily. I really can't see him being all "that's disrespectful!!!" if Tan like, acts too friendly with him frhgsjfsdkfds

AHHH!!!
For the Fic Writer Emoji Game... 🍒🍋🍈
Aaahhhh!!! Hi Bestie!!!!!
Thank you so much for the ask!! I hope you’re feeling well!!
From the ask game here.
🍒 What’s your favorite character dynamic to write? (Can be romantic or platonic, specific or general!)
Oh man, two idiots sharing a brain-cell for sure. That paired with idiots to lovers and enemies to lovers and im just gone. That’s mostly what i end up writing--humor is something I so much enjoy, and from what I’ve gathered from comments, it’s also something others enjoy as well!
🍋 What’s your favorite spicier trope to write? 
👀👀👀❤️❤️❤️ this is a tough one
I definitely think that some of mine have a kind of...voyeuristic kink in them...like, not straight up voyeurism, but something close. Idk what that would be called, but that’s something I’ve noticed. That and, before I wrote explicit smut, I do a lot of sexual tension coupled with teasing. It delightedly frustrated some reasons, for fair reasons, but it’s so much fun, and well...if that tells a little something about me, then so be it!
Now that I’ve written explicit smut, some kind of oral is pretty common, giving/receiving, doesn’t particularly matter. I tend to focus more on the one who is ‘giving’, but just writing the scenes are fun lol
🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.
Omg YAS
Blorbos from my top 3 shows
Bleach: My initial blorbo--Grimmjow!!!! These show up in nearly all of my Grimmjow/GrimmIchi fics: He’s begrudgingly good with small humans, and they tend to like him as well, even if they are little shits about it (lookin at you Karin and Jinta). Bad with taste in his gigai; just give the man some dry cheerios the first month and a half; wants to eat raw meat so bad, but cannot.
These aren’t necessarily in fics I”ve written, but jsut some general stuff!
JJK: in an AU where Sukuna is not actively making me sad about the manga, he's definitely got old man tendencies. Doesn't know how technology works, is frustrated at the changing of times, likes to read the newspaper. He'd prefer a paper calendar over using his phone probably. And would like raisin bran. Pretends to take coffee as black as his soul, but he loves the sugary shit.
Kny: ooo ima be honest, I'm not sure I've really thought about any head canons in kny! Let’s give it a go!
Tanjiro: I bet he meditates a lot if he can, given him being the only one capable of holding a braincell for more than half a second in the Kamaboko squad. Prefers cooking big meals opposed to small ones for obvious reasons. Doesn't like super hot baths. Calloused hands obviously, but it always seems like theres blisters on his fingers.
Rengoku: tbh i think he wouldn't be the worst person to cook food--someone had to teach baby Senjuro (can he be my son, I love him) after all. Oblivious to feelings he's experiencing for the most part--hes a pro at compartmentalizing-- (and this is for the character study I may never write) but I think he refuses to think of himself as an actual person rather than a tool (honey please). Or just....thinks of himself as an afterthought, if at all. It's always what he can do for the Corp, for his brother. For his father, for literally every person other than himself because he....he's not a person. He's a tool trained and sharpened from birth. Even if he had to do a lot of it on his own (that made it worse honestly) . It's a very complicated hc lol
Giyuu: I think he'd like origami. Thats it thats the whole hc😭😭😂😂
I apologize for any misspellings! I wrote this on my phone and then had to finish the potatoes (loaded mashed potatoes my beloved)
Thanks so much for the ask! I hope these answers are suitable!:) :) :)

How to: Oc insert part 1
this will be an idiotic guide based on what I think makes people like an oc insert, or at least help you build a small community. (Or you get hated on idk, it has worked for me but be careful with the internet, it can be an a hole occasionally).
Note:This guide isn't a rule book or something like that so always remember you get to write how you like and what you like. This is just a personal opinion!( Also I didn't use grammar so the sentences might make no sense)
There is a bunch of difference, for example:
Twisted wonderland (game), has an mc that can be based off the player.
Demonslayer, has a set plot without interacting with the reader.
This is the two types I will be focusing on, we will call the first one PMC (player=mc) and the second SPWR (Set plot without reader).
----
Okay, first we need to know if your oc is a "canon-OC" (an oc that interacts with canon characters) or a non-canon oc (rarely or doesn't interact with canon characters). There is a hudge difference between the two. An example I would give for an canon-OC would be my Harry Potter oc Makaria, or Genki Sabaku my demonslayer oc. Both of them interact with the plot of the media even causing subtle changes.
For the non-canon: my demonslayer 200 years ago au. The only canon characters they interact with are upper moons and they all loose, they don't change the plot.
-----
We will be focusing on SPWR and canon-OC today!
----
The most controversy sparked one's the canon-OC, especially when ships are involved. So the first thing is, don't make everyone fall head over heels for your character as soon as they see them. Most people find that annoying. The second thing, especially involving demonslayer is that you have to choose between the people near the age of Tanjiro (14-17) or the hashira (not included muichiro) (18-30). You can of course pick an older character.
But why is this important? Because most people find adult x child relationships weird and gross. In my personal opinion 17 and 18 can be okay as the difference might only be five months and you could be in the same class for example. As soon as your character is over 18, anything below 17 won't be approved by most readers. This why if you plan the story, set the love intrest in advance. (Also its yucky in general)
Multiple love intrests can be okay as long as its believable! Maybe there is a childhood friend that your oc starts to develop feelings for, or your oc saves someone's life and because of that they fall in love. The love at first sight can also be okay as long as it's not overdone.
Now let's get to the how many love intrests. I will put it simple anything above 4 is something I would consider a harem. Most readers aren't a fan of oc x canon harem, so keep the number of the potential love intrests below 4. (Or don't 🤷‍♀️)
-------
The plot, oh the plot. This will be incredibly complicated. Putting your oc smartly into the plot is hard, especially if you want to please a lot of readers. There is a certain amount of people that dislike it if the oc takes over the plot, making it unable to function without them. You might wanna avoid that.
A smart way to do that is thinking about why the oc isn't in the original plotline and giving them a set goal. For the why they aren't present in the original plot it could be that the trauma they had never happened, or someone died causing your oc to be never born etc.
Next is how to put them in the plot, because your oc will change something. Maybe they save a canon character or kill one? You as the fanfic author have the power to bring your favourite character back to life, use your oc for that. Or kill of a character for more angst?
Please remember that your oc can not save all of your favourite characters or kill all of the ones you hate. (For example no killing of Muzan just before the final arc or saving Tanjiros family(unless you don't want Tanjiro your story))
Another thing make them have a purpose outside of: being in the plot. Maybe they have a family or cut wood in their free time. That way you will also be able to give your oc their own growing arc.
You also will have to make them not be present during important battles. That will be hard but it adds depth to your character if you have them have an adventure without the main plot. (For example my Atla oc Tori, she leaves before the battle of ba sing se and isn't present during the last fight)
----
Powers 😬, look don't make them op. Give them a realistic power and realistic weaknesses. Look if your character is a hashira for example you could say that it took long for them to get that rank, or that their breathing style is so complicated they can't find a Tsugoku. All of these small details matter.
A lot of people like it when the OC has realistic struggles. This is just a personal preference but you should make them overcome some of their struggles.
--------
This is part one of this, guide...... tell me if I should cover more. If not we will see eachother next time!
