@wisteria----hashira my God! Looking flamboyant as a demon~when did this happen?

Hello everyone! My name is Kori. Please read more for my blog guide!!

Hi!

So, this is my blog for my AU. I'm a writer for @knyhashiraau , along with @kimetsuchan and others. I write for @sex----hashira , @wisteria----hashira , @insect----hashira , @flower----hashira , @butterfly----hashira , @beast----hashira , and @boar----hashira . This is an AU in which Douma took in Kotoha and Inosuke, and all of the Kocho sisters. This is NOT canon, and there will be no OCs involved, it will be all canon characters. I hope you all enjoy!

Yet again with some info of Mermaid/Pirates AU [Masterlist]

(Forgot to mention this) The Butterfly Pirates are easy to spot with their signature butterfly hairclips. Even if they occasionally don't wear it, their faces are recognizable in the bounty papers.

Merman Akaza makes an appearance with an unconscious Koyuki in his arms! The Butterfly Pirates are wary and surprised, but they are willing to lend a helping hand.

I refuse to believe this woman can cook, im sorry. Renowned doctor and botanist(?) has 0 kitchen abilities.

thinking about how insane the demon slayer art style and character design is. like, the the nose, mouth, and face shapes of everyone in the main cast are virtually identical regardless of gender, and yet every single character has a very distinct personality at first glance. And unlike other popular anime, it isn't their rainbow hair colors or painstakingly customized uniforms that help the audience tell them apart (though I do love their outfits).

It's almost entirely their eyes.

The best example of this is probably shinobu. Her eyes are enormous, round, and purple, things associated with femininity. However, they have no pupil or sclera and have a matte gradient effect. The gradient effect gives an appearance similar to an insect's compound eyes, giving a nod to her abilities and character aesthetic, but more importantly, the lack of reflected light makes her eyes look completely dead. This tells you everything you need to know about shinobu's character. She's beautiful and graceful in her appearance and mannerisms, but she's also lost the most important thing in her life, is capable of great cruelty towards her enemies, takes a sadistic delight in their pain, and her cheerful and benevolent persona is a facade. Basically, by just drawing a couple of carefully shaded circles, the artist lets you know that even if this character acts lively and upbeat, that fact that there is no light behind her eyes shows that it is false.

This is thrown into even greater contrast when a flashback is shown of kanae, shinobus late sister, who we know that shinobu seeks to imitate with her faux cheerfulness. Though their faces are identical, their eyes couldn't be more different. Where shinobus eyes are matte and reflect no light, kanaes are glossy and have three enormous highlights in each eye, making her look literally starry eyed, and that's reflected in her personality. Kanae is shown to kind, overly idealistic, and optimistic to the point of being airheaded: the exact opposite of shinobu, who is bitter, cunning, and capable of great cruelty.

Anyway demon slayer really makes the most of visual storytelling in even its smaller details.

Some other highlights in character design:

rengoku's constantly wide eyes with their rings of contrasting color that almost resemble an optical illusion perfectly convey everything about his most important character trait, his unrelenting intensity. Additionally, depending on context, his wide-eyed appearance can either be played for laughs or deeply unnerving, depending on whether his neverending enthusiasm is being directed towards complimenting tasty food or carving up his enemies with a smile.

Obanai has heterochromia identical to that of a cat, and let's be real, his personality is pretty cat-like. He's proud, disdainful, and judgemental of others, but he is also full of unconditional love for Mitsuri, even if he usually only shows it by quietly enjoying her company. Plus, it's also revealed that the reason obanai fell in love with mitsuri is because she is a genuine person who doesn't push his boundaries, giving him someone he can truly be comfortable around. Anyone who's interacted with a cranky stray cat before can tell you how familiar that sounds.

Nezuko has three separate sets of eyes throughout the series. As a human, her pupils are pink with complicated black shading and with a white highlight, once again hinting at her innocence. As a demon she usually has pink eyes with a circular highlight, but all the shading and therefore all the "depth" is gone. Since she doesn't remember that her family was killed and has somewhat regressed to a childlike state, nezuko still has her innocence (as shown by the highlight) but has lost her complexity that made her fully human. When she becomes enraged, her pupils become dark and slitted and her irises lose their reflective sheen, showing that not only is she monstrous, she has temporarily regained the capacity for anger and other dark emotions, and lost the ignorance/innocence that keeps her monstrous instincts at bay.

Muichiro has no memory of anything but the last three months of his life, and likewise, his eyes are foggy and dull

In the case of aoi, the square, blocky shape of her pupil implies a lot about her character: the fact that she's somewhat ordinary and a reliable, steady ally, even if she can be a little stiff.

I'm fairly certain that tanjirous red eyes were supposed to have narrative importance and signal that he is a descendant of yoriichi until it was decided at some point that yoriichi had no children and tanjirou was a descendant of a friend of yoriichi instead (either that or the reveal was planned from the beginning and the eye color was a red herring), but that's beside the point. Tanjirous eyes are red with dark shading, and do not have a highlight, though they do have a white pupil. This combination represents tanjirous emotional maturity, the combination of negativity and positivity. Unlike shinobu, who has no light in her eyes and is controlled by her resentment, and kanae, who has nothing but light in her eyes and was idealistic to the point of foolishness, tanjirou has both. Yes, he has suffered, he lost almost his entire family, even after he dedicated his entire self to caring for them after his father's death. However, tanjirou is still a fundamentally compassionate and hopeful person. No, Tanjirou is far from the first shonen protagonist who is kind and a genuinely good person (Luffy, Naruto, and Goku come to mind), he is one of the more emotionally intelligent ones. Tanjirou empathizes with the demons and recognizes the suffering that made them into monsters, but at the end of the day, he still kills them. There is no talk no jutsu, there is no transformation of enemies into allies, and there is no sparing of enemies out of respect for their fighting prowess. Though Tanjirou recognizes that demons are tragic and pitiful, he also knows that they are creatures that survive only on the slaughter of innocents. This isn't to say that stories about redemption or forgiveness or once-feared villains turning into the protagonists wacky neighbor are inherently bad, far from it. But for the story that demon slayer is, tanjirou is the perfect fit. And you can tell, just by looking in his eyes.

Angry Shinobu 💜💜💜🦋🦋

Can you believe she's angry in all these pictures 😭💜..I love her❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kny fan, can you draw the butterfly sisters wearing this? Please I'm begging you, I want more butterfly sisters content. They're so dear in my heart.

more roleswap au, this time with the butterflies

they get to have a poison swamp and barter with local humans for their silk and various herbs/medicines/poisons, what have you. kanao was turned by kanae, and aoi by shinobu. kanae was still pulled from the depths of poverty, and aoi from the slayers after barely surviving final selection

meanwhile: douma’s cult gets completely cleared out after the kocho parents have a little rampage looking for kanae, who got mixed up with the cult after deciding she wanted to explore the world and learn more about humans... only to land in the cult’s lap immediately, oops. so you know, they start rampaging, slayer corps muzan’s dudes show up and start cleaning up shop, douma is left with nowhere else to go with his cult in tatters (the cult he didn’t even want to be in charge of) so the slayers take him in and he becomes the winter hashira

shinobu blames douma both for her parents’ deaths (of which he had no part of) and kanae losing her wings (which kanae absolutely does not blame him for, even if he blames himself because his cult absolutely fucked that up) so she’s very much the lady dimitrescu to his ethan winters lmao

Sharing this headcanon here but Genya is definitely a growly person, and not like a “hrm” I mean like, full fledged animalistic growls because of his demon eating and it just becomes something he can’t stop

Happy? Growls

Sad? Growls, almost mournful growls like a croon

Angry? A type of growl that makes you piss your pants and beg for ur life

Sometimes he occasionally sounds like a pissed off cat at the vet, but I usually view that as role swap au with baby demon Genya.

and certain people learn to differentiate his growls, like Shinobu/the butterfly sisters, Gyomei, Tanjirou and Zenitsu (bc of his hearing) and ofc Nemi and Obanai (because we stan uncle Obanai in this house)

Just.

Genya: growl

Obanai; yeah I don’t like pickles either

The odd person out:??????

Kimetsu no Yaiba Virtual Hug Project: 5/6 (Tamayo, Yushiro, Kanae, Aoi and Senjuro)

It’s been a bit too long since my last post, hasn’t it? Anyways, here’s the fifth set of virtual hugs starring Tamayo, Yushiro, Kanae, Aoi and Senjuro!

Apologies for the long wait! I’ve been pretty busy with a lot of commitments for the past couple of months and didn’t get to really draw any of these cuties (;_;) However, I now have some free time for a short while, so I hope to be able to complete the next and (likely) last set before the semester starts again and all the commitment starts to pile up _(:3」z)_

As usual, you may save, repost or use the gifs on your blogs as you wish, so long as you adhere to the permissions posted! ٩( ᐛ )و
