「 The Fourth Wife 」

Tengen & Wives x Reader

Note: People imagine Uzui’s fourth wife being someone from the demon slayer corps, but hear me out. Tengen’s fourth wife comes from the entertainment district

✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼ ✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼ ✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼ ✼　

Tengen is use to receiving letters just about every other day at the start of his entertainment district stakeout. Once he gets some ground rules set with Hinatsuru, Makio and Suma, letters are to be expected once a week unless something major is to occur. For the sake of keeping up appearances, Tengen will only watch from afar. It was a meticulous plan that all three of his wives followed dutifully. That is… until you popped into the picture.

You were popular in Suma’s house, not quite an Oiran but well on your way to obtaining that title. Suma quickly took an interest in you. Of course she still cared greatly for Tengen’s mission… but you were something she simply couldn’t ignore. Tengen’s letters now included little paragraphs about you, usually at the end, and of course Tengen read all of them. The more Suma got to know you, the more she included about you in her letters. Tengen found himself slowly falling in love with a woman he hadn’t even laid his eyes on.

Suma got closer with you as time passed on. Learning about how you longed to leave the district, even if meant sneaking away before you paid back your debt. You complained to Suma that no one had gone as far as to offer you a way out, that you were starting to feel utterly hopeless. Suma, after some words of encouragement, rushed off to write a letter to Tengen. Said letter was begging the man to come visit her house and request to see you. She wanted you, couldn’t see herself leaving the entertainment district without you, Tengen was the key.

Tengen agreed pretty easily, the curiosity of seeing you in person was beginning to eat him alive. So, he showed up the following night after receiving the letter. He told Suma not to tell you anything, that he was just a customer that wanted to talk to a pretty lady. If he liked you, if he felt the same way talking to you that he did reading about you in her letters, he’d discuss things with Hinatsuru and Makio. Tengen had never been opposed to a fourth wife if the opportunity presented itself, so long as his wives agreed with the addition.

Tengen took you by surprise, a drool worthy customer requested you? Not Suma? Not any other oiran? You? Suma had watched from a distance, giggling softly at the fact that her and Tengen had switched roles. He was dressed in a maroon kimono, hair down, no jewelry or makeup, Suma rather liked seeing him that way. Tengen winning your heart in an hour flat, simply over a cup of tea. Tengen going as far as to motion Suma into the room, willing to rip of the bandaid then and there.

“So… you two are married…” you blinked, a bit confused at what exactly was going on. “That’s right! Tengen-Sama and I have been married for a while now, he has two other wives as well! Hinatsuru and Makio, both are posing as Oirans in the district as well!”

I’m sure you could imagine the whirlwind that followed. Luckily for them, you were pretty open minded. You had grown equally as fond of Suma as she had of you, the opportunity to get out of the entertainment district was in your grasp. That hopelessness was long gone, instead it was replaced with warm excitement. You hadn’t even met the other two women yet, but you knew you’d be safe if Tengen and Suma had anything to do with it. Things were settled within your first meeting, Tengen making arrangements to come back the following night and pay your debt, so long as you promised them your hand in marriage.

You, of course, accepted those terms.

Tengen did just that, making sure you were far out of the entertainment district by the time the upper moon encounters had occurred. You got to know him day by day, waiting for his arrival home even though it was few and far between. You understood his reasonings for being in the entertainment district were dire, same for his wives. You were patient, eagerly awaiting the day all four of them would return for good. Despite not meeting Makio and Hinatsuru in person just yet, you decided to talk to them through letters, eagerly awaiting the day you’d get to meet them in person.

Your first meeting with Hinatsuru and Makio followed the battle at the entertainment district. It was a chaotic mix of emotions, worry for Tengen’s injuries mixed with the relief that all of them would be okay. On top of that the nerves of finally seeing both women in person, the ache for their approval and affection all while trying to comfort a sobbing Suma. It wasn’t until everything had settled, Suma was asleep on a small cot, Tengen was tended to and finally sleeping, that you sat down and spoke to Makio and Hinatsuru.

“I hoped our first meeting would have been a lot smoother than this.” You sighed, sitting beside Makio while Hinatsuru also tried to get some sleep. The medicine she had been given had helped greatly, but she was still weak. “I’m sorry it wasn’t. But it’s nice to finally put a face to the letters you wrote. You’re a kind soul, y/n.” You didn’t expect Makio to be so sentimental right away, knowing that Suma said Makio was quite good at masking her emotions. “Thank you…” you looked at her in surprise, cheeks warming at the smile she flashed you. “I think you’ll fit in really well with the four of us. Especially now that we’ll be able to live normal lives.”

i feel sorta sad that there's not much stated about the previous hashira- like sure, the sengoku era with yoriichi and michikatsu, but like the taisho era where kyojuro was still a kid and kanae was alive.

i feel like they'd be sorta sweet when sanemi still wasnt a hashira, and they'd all have a fairly good relationship with each other. they wouldn't be all toxic hating/bullying like when iguro & shinobu get in, and it would be a very tight-knit group of coworkers that are all fairly sweet and quaint, without loud people like kyojuro or mitsuri.

therefore,

“Hey, join us!” Uzui Tengen’s smile lit up almost as brightly as his headband. “All the hashira go out to dinner with each other after every Hashira Meeting!”

Tomioka Giyuu blinked. “Sorry, I have to go.”

“It’s a bit rude to refuse an invite, especially on your first day.” Rengoku Shinjuro raised a judgmental eyebrow. “And to senior hashira.”

“It is alright if you do not wish to come, Tomioka.” Himejima Gyomei smiled. “We understand if you wish to go out with others in celebration.”

“Besides, there’s always the next Hashira Meeting!” Kochou Kanae added.

“Right.” Giyuu bowed. “Thank you. I look forward to working with you all.”

“He’s not gonna last to the next meeting, and he knows it.” Shinjuro said once Giyuu was out of earshot.

“Don’t say that, Rengoku-san!” Kanae gasped. “I’m sure that he’s talented!”

“Talented at being unflashy, hmph.” Tengen crossed his arms, the beads clinking together.

“You should not judge people based on their first appearance, Uzui.” Gyomei rubbed his beads. “Though, it might be less painful if he passed before our next meeting, if he truly is a filler.”

“You’re all cruel!” Kanae pouted. “He looks like a nice boy!”

“Of course.” Gyomei nodded sarcastically.

“Only thing nice about him is that fat as-” Tengen started.

“Association to the Corps.” Shinjuro interrupted abruptly.

“Amen.” Gyomei agreed.

“Amen.” Kanae nodded.

“Tch. Whatever.” Tengen rolled his eyes. “Me and my wives found this cool izakaya nearby, serves real good yakitori.”

“That sounds like fun!” Kanae added, before looking concerned. “Rengoku-san, didn’t you have a newborn son at home?”

“Ah, yes.” Shinjuro smiled fondly. “Senjuro. Ruka-san and my elder son, Kyojuro, are looking after him tonight.”

“They are very sweet.” Gyomei complimented.

Summer fun | Tengen + his wives & Rengoku Kyojuro

Collab with sweetest @otomiya-tickles

A/N: Another amazing and precious collab with my bestest girl Ginny! I had lots of fun as always baby, thank you for being so patient with me. I love you!

Summary: Rengoku gets invited to a summer tradition by Tengen and he hopes this tradition involves lots of water and summery fun, but... are they only having a picnic?! How boring!

Words: 2k

Rengoku was humming to himself. He tightened the straps of the bag that he had hanging on his back and felt a funny sensation swirling inside his chest, his smile widening with excitement.

He was happy.

It had been a long time since he felt like this- he couldn't deny that he always felt happy to see Senjurou after a long time, his little brother was the light of his life, but seeing Senjurou meant that he had to go back home, and coming back to that place always made him feel… awkward, melancholic and sad.

He also felt happy every time he killed a demon, but mixed with that little moment of ecstasy, there was always that feeling of utter sadness, thinking of all the innocent lives this creature had taken with its own hands and fangs, killing them for nothing but its own entertainment.

So he knew what happiness was, but it was always accompanied by a feeling of guilt and sadness, but right at that moment, he truly felt happy, excited even. He was not used to it and he couldn't help but feel a bit nauseous and lightheaded, but he tried to embrace it, and thinking about the lots of fun he would have that day made him feel even better.

He chuckled to himself and his pace quickened. The weather was getting better, summer arriving at its own pace, making days longer and nights shorter. Rengoku always liked the summer: swimming, festivals, water battles; nice, fresh beverages and sweet, juicy watermelons.

Summer was the perfect time to enjoy time together with friends and family, so when Tengen invited him earlier that week to be part of a little summer tradition he had with his wives, Rengoku couldn't help but accept the invitation right away. Tengen told him to be in a certain place at a certain hour, and as he made his way over there, he wondered what kind of activities they would do. He couldn't wait to get into fresh water and maybe even catch some fish to eat later!

He grinned. Oh, he was sure they were going to have lots… of… fun?

Eh?

"Ah! Rengoku-san! Over here!" Suma waved at him and three heads turned over to look at him, warm smiles on their faces.

They were sitting in the grass beneath big trees, a cozy looking picnic stalled out before them.

“You’re here,” Tengen greeted when Rengoku approached them. Rengoku smiled brightly as he scanned the scene. There was some food, like not necessarily summer-food, just plain lunch which did look delicious but…

“Ah, so we will eat lunch first! And then the summer tradition, right?” Rengoku said, putting down his bag and sitting down between them.

“Hehe, this is the summer tradition, dummy!” Suma said playfully.

“It’s our summer picnic. We’ve been wanting to invite you before but you were always busy,” Makio explained as she handed Rengoku a small bowl of rice.

“A picnic, right here?” he asked, looking around. He couldn’t deny it, they definitely chose a pretty place. But it was just a park? No lake? No beach? He didn’t want to say it. He didn’t want to. He didn’t want to….!

“That’s so boring!” Aaaah! Stupid mouth! Rengoku even smiled brightly when he said it.

“Eh?” Suma said, and she cocked her head. “Did you just say boring?”

“Let’s pretend we didn’t hear that! He won’t be bored when he tastes your delicious homemade food,” Tengen said brightly, placing some more food in Rengoku’s direction.

“It’s delicious!” Rengoku chirped with his mouth full. But he was still bored!

“What is even inside that bag?” Makio asked, pointing at Rengoku’s bag that was now resting in the grass with its contents useless for this summer tradition.

Rengoku hummed, swallowing a mouthful of food before smiling brightly at them, opening his bag and pulling out the insides to show them.

“I bought everything for summer fun,” he said with a rather sarcastic tone for someone like him, making Tengen bark out a laugh. “Look, here I have a towel, this ointment to protect your skin from the sun, and look! I even brought my swimwear!” He pulled out a pair of short pants that were, strangely, the exact same pattern of his haori. "However, it's a shame I won't get to use them just because you guys have this… really boring tradition."

Tengen laughed again as Hinatsuru chuckled awkwardly. "N-Now, Rengoku-san, we'll have plenty of fun, I assure you," she said with a kind smile and Rengoku looked at her with a smile too, but he knew that Hinatsuru was wrong. This was just boring.

"Yes, Rengoku-san!" Said Makio, placing another bento box between Rengoku's hands. "Isn't the weather nice here? And the food is also very good, isn't it? We even have salt grilled bream, isn't it your favorite?"

She was basically pushing the fish into his mouth, so Rengoku opened his lips to let her do so. Instantly, there was an explosion of salty flavors inside his mouth that made his taste buds tingle and his mouth water as he chewed on the fish enthusiastically.

The weather was nice, yes. He couldn't deny that they had chosen quite the place to make their summer picnic. The food was also fantastic, he hoped they kept refilling his bento boxes, but this was not what he was expecting.

He didn't want to sound like a spoiled child, but perhaps he really wanted to go to the beach and have a water war, but he shouldn't act this rude, right?

"Delicious!" He exclaimed again, wanting to avert the conversation from that topic as he kept himself busy, eating happily. Tengen’s wives seemed relieved to see him enjoying himself and they continued to eat and chat as well. However, Tengen’s eyes were on him for quite a while, and Rengoku wasn’t very sure why.

“Is there anything on my face?” he asked merrily, accidentally losing some food since he was talking with his mouth full. He quickly wiped it off his robes, leaving only a minor stain, and he licked his fingers clean.

Tengen chuckled and shook his head. “No. I’m just worried you’re not really enjoying yourself here, and that we might have burdened you by inviting you to this picnic,” he said.

Rengoku gasped and shook his head. “Not a burden! No, no!” he cried.

“Perhaps we could think of something that will make you enjoy yourself more? Ladies?” Tengen asked his wives for support. Oh oh? Like going somewhere for a swim? Rengoku watched them hopefully.

“Really, even if I’m just a little bored, don’t feel forced to HYa!” Rengoku jumped when Suma suddenly leaned over and pierced his side with her finger.

“You mean this, Tengen-Sama?” she asked sweetly, poking Rengoku again and making him shriek and jump to the side. The other side where Makio’s finger was awaiting him, also poking his side and tickling him.

“Exactly,” Tengen encouraged them with a smile. Rengoku clenched his lunch box in his hand and cackled.

“Hey! Hehehey what are we dohohoing?” He danced awkwardly in between them, but they kept poking him, a pink blush spreading across his cheeks.

Oh, this sensation. It had been a while, he didn't even think he was still ticklish, but it seemed that he was, the gentle pokes were making him laugh so much already and he tried to not drop his precious lunch box, but then Hinatsuru gently took it away from between his hands and Rengoku laughed when Suma's fingers turned those gentle pokes into firm squeezes against his lower ribs.

"Wahahait!" He laughed, pulling his arms tightly against his sides and bending over, his forehead almost touching the blanket where they all sat. "N-Nohohoho! I'm tihihihicklihish!"

"Oh? Are you now?" Tengen teased, making his wives giggle playfully. "I'm sure you're not so bored anymore, huh?"

Rengoku lifted his head to look at Tengen. Little tears were already present at the corners of his eyes and a big, bright smile pulled at his lips.

"I m-mehehean, y-you ahaha-are f-fohohorcihing me to lahahaugh so- ahahaha! I'm sohohohorry!"

He flopped onto the blanket when he felt thumbs digging into the back of his ribs, loud laughter poured out of him as he turned onto his back.

"Oh-uh, not a good choice," Hinatsuru said with a big grin on her face and soon Rengoku found out why he had made a huge mistake.

Four hands viciously tickled his exposed torso. Clawing at his tummy, squeezing his sides, digging into his ribs and even pinching his hips all at full speed.

“Lahahadies! Plehehease! Wahahah!” he howled, curling up, flopping and thrashing in between them.

“Watch the feet, girls,” Tengen said, casually leaning back when Rengoku almost kicked his lunch from his hands. He was so mean!

Makio was the first to get up while Suma continued to attack Rengoku’s torso. She sat down on top of his legs to pin them down effectively, and while she was at it…

“Nonono nohoho!” Rengoku cried when she took off his sandals so she could tickle his feet. Tengen laughed at this too, impressed by her move. Not only were Rengoku’s kicking feet and legs no longer a threat, they also proved to be pretty good tickle spots for her to torture.

Giggling, Makio tickled his feet and also tested the sensitivity of his legs, scribbling her skilful fingers all over his calves and the back of his knees before returning to his ticklish feet.

“Rengoku-san is ticklish all over!” Suma observed from the other side. Her fingers were still massaging Rengoku’s sides and ribs and it tickled! so! bad!

“HEeeheheheee! I cahahan’t! Ahahahah! It tihiihicklehehees!” he roared. Little tears had already become big tears as they dripped down his flushed cheeks.

He had forgotten he was this ticklish! He sure had his fair share of tickle fights with Senjurou, (that would last only a few seconds before their father would snap at their loud laughter), and he had also had some tickly moments with Kanroji Mitsuri every now and then, but he couldn't remember the last time he was tickled like this!

Tengen's wives were vicious in their attack, and strong enough to pin him nicely so he could barely do anything to stop them. Their nimble fingers would find their way through all of his defenses and he could only throw his head back with intense laughter.

It was a little embarrassing that he couldn't stop them, but at the same time he thought… that was a little fun. The little ache he felt in the muscles of his stomach from laughing and the ache at his cheeks and the funny sensation making his brain feel fuzzy. It all felt nice. He felt nice to let go and just… laugh. Truly laugh.

"It looks like you also want to join." Rengoku heard Tengen say and knew he was talking to Hinatsuru, who was still beside her husband, looking at the scene in front of her with a smile and flushed cheeks.

"Would that be okay?" She asked and Rengoku shrieked out a laugh, shaking his head.

"N-Nohohoho! Hi-Hihihinahahatsuru-sahahan! Hehehelp mehehe!" He said through his laughter, jerking heavily when Suma found a weak spot in the middle of his stomach, around his belly button and Makio's long nails had settled underneath his toes, carefully scratching at the tenderness of his skin.

Tengen laughed, a bit too excited by Rengoku's reactions. "Of course it's okay! Tell you what, we'll both join in~'

The sudden movement of both Tengen and Hinatsuru advancing on him actually disturbed all of the tickle chaos that was going on. Suma and Makio leaned back to make space for them, and Rengoku’s sudden kick and wild move shook them right off him - and before any of them could grab him, he got on all fours and started running, messing up the last of the picnic blanket as he kicked his way into freedom.

Not that he came far, of course.

“HEHehehe Tehehengen wahahah!” he cackled when Tengen caught up to him quickly, wrapping one arm around his middle and dragging him back down.

“Now where are you going huh?” he growled playfully. The others followed suit, and while Tengen dug with crazy madness into his sensitive sides and ribs, he felt how the soft delicate and feminine touches returned to his other tickle spots. Laying on his stomach, his feet were turned upwards and could be perfectly targeted by ten flexible fingers.

He could smell the sweet fragance he noted to be Suma’s as she kneeled down by his side where she pried one of his arms out of the way to tickle his underarm. Another tickled his neck and ears with her long tickly nails. Ah yes. Rengoku was really getting tickled to death by the four of them.

"NAHAHAT THEHERE!" He pleaded and he could hear Tengen and the girls laughing above him.

"Now, you gotta be more specific," Tengen said, clawing at the back of Rengoku's ribs, making him cackle like a mad man. "We're tickling you pretty much everywhere, where could 'there' be? Your feet?"

At the mention of that spot, Rengoku felt the tickling intensifying, especially under his toes and the balls of his feet. He tried to kick his legs, but they were pinned by Makio.

"Or maybe your legs?" Tengen asked again and Rengoku couldn't help but focus on those maddening squeezes to his inner thighs and the quick scribbles to the back of his knees from Hinatsuru's gentle hands.

"Plehehease, I'll dihihie!"

"Or maybe right here on your hips?" Tengen continued, his own fingers moving down to squeeze at Rengoku's hips, making him dance, trying to dislodge Tengen's hands from his hips. "Or your sides? Stomach? Ribs?"

Rengoku's face was on fire. The pleading had died down and he could only laugh his head off as he squirmed weakly, jolting every time Tengen moved to a different spot and shrieking when he dug his fingers into his sensitive skin.

"Or maybe under your arms or neck?"

Suma's fingers were very present under his arm, wiggling and digging into the middle of his armpits, making him laugh in hysterics, bubbly giggles mixing in-between when he felt long fingernails gliding across his neck and ears.

"EHEHEVERYWHEHERE!" Rengoku laughed, snorting and scrunching his nose up adorably.

Tengen laughed at that, a low and charming sound, but Rengoku could barely hear any of it as his own shrieking laughter surrounded all of them.

“Alright, that’s enough entertainment I think. His voice is doing things,” Tengen noted the pitchy and gaspy noises Rengoku was making, and finally, all fingers stopped tickling him and they moved off him so he could breathe like a normal person. Rengoku rolled on his back and sighed.

“You guys!” he whined, but he spread his arms and breathed out. Woah. He hadn’t laughed that much in…. forever?

“I don’t think he is bored anymore,” Suma giggled.

“But surely he’s feeling a little hot now,” Hinatsuru said.

“Even I am feeling hot, bwaha!” Makio laughed. Rengoku panted and wheezed. He felt a little hot and sweaty indeed after all that.

“Then… how about we skip desserts and go for a swim after all? We’re not near a beach, but I know a lake that’s pretty close,” Tengen suggested. Rengoku gasped and lifted his head, staring at him with wide and sparkly eyes.

“REALLY?” he squeaked, his voice still hoarse. Tengen smiled and held out his hand.

“You deserve a refreshing dive into the water. We all do. You’re right, it’s summer after all,” he said, helping Rengoku get back on his feet.

Rengoku was nearly dancing in excitement, his smile blinding as he quickly helped get everything ready for their departure to the lake, not without letting out some ridiculous squeaks and giggles as he was victim of some sneaky pokes and squeezes to his sides and ribs by those extremely playful ladies.

This was fun. Even being tickled until he was sweating was fun. And he was sure they all would have lots of fun once they arrived at the lake because what’s summer without a water fight? Rengoku was excited and happy.

He wished he could feel like that all the time…

“C’mon, Rengoku,” Tengen patted his back and pulled gently at his clothes. “Weren’t you so excited about the lake? Let’s go!”

“A-Ah,” Rengoku said, looking at his companions, all ready to have his so wanted summer fun. He chuckled, smiling brightly at them. “Yes, let’s go!”

He knew he couldn’t always feel this happy, but right now, he was going to indulge into this wonderful sensation and enjoy every second of it with these friends of his!

“Hurry up, Rengoku-san,” Makio said, smiling brightly. “Or else we’ll tickle you again.”

Rengoku laughed, “I am not even ticklish!” He laughed brightly when suddenly four hands reached out to tickle him at the same time. “Fihihine! Lehehet’s huhurry uhuhup!”

Ah yes, he was going to enjoy himself to the fullest!

Tengen's Favorite: Fugu

A.k.a., the pufferfish, a flamboyant way to flirt with death by tetrodotoxin.

"Sempai, you didn't!" you might be shaking your screens as a way to shake sense into me. "Sempai, I thought you wouldn't risk your life for Kimetsu Kitchen!" So you say, but I'd like to remind you that I am a bad cook and I could probably find less flamboyant methods of culinary death. But also I am here to educate, and guess what? This isn't my first time eating fugu. It's time to knock the flamboyance down a notch by telling you that fugu is more commonly consumed than you might think, as well as give you the details about Uzui Tengen's favorite food in a safe way.

Because yes, you should mind safety.

Cutting out the liver and other toxic organs is a very precise, very crucial process, so let's allow Hinatsuru to concentrate and ask our local fish-fan and poison expert to tell us more.

"Thank you for asking! Did you know pufferfish don't make this neurotoxin themselves? They get it from eating things like mollusks and bacteria, so I'll bet in the future raising these fish in farms with controlled diets will be popular. The tetrodotoxin, or TTX, blocks the passage of sodium ions into a nerve cell, thereby not letting signals to contract reach the muscles. Although there is no antidote, it's a poison humans can metabolize rather quickly, provided they have artificial respiratory assistance. The paralysis and all the other symptoms sure won't be fun, though!"

Thanks, Shinobu! Taisho Secret: Shinobu's goldfish is named Fugu.

She's right about the farmed fugu, and I've heard it said that people who can taste a difference between farmed fugu and wild fugu tend to prefer it farmed anyway. What's also important to note is that there are many varieties of fugu, and "torafugu" (tiger puffer) is the safest variety, and what is typically consumed. Although some people say the livers are the best part, they are typically rich people who wind up eating their words later on. Don't listen to them, they are dead.

We'll pause here to acknowledge the history, because not everyone who has ingested wild fugu has doomed themselves to consciously watching themselves suffocate over the course of a few hours. There are records of use their use in Chinese medicine, and even though Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three great unifiers of Japan) formally banned their consumption and the Tokugawa shogunate upheld this ban, people continued to consume them anyway, especially in areas where the Tokugawa shogun was not popular. (I'd like to imagine some Uzui ancestors ate fugu out of spite.)

One region not especially privy to the shogunate was the Choshu domain, in modern day Yamaguchi prefecture. This domain played a major role in overthrowing the shogunate and establishing the Meiji government, and the first prime minister, Itou Hirobumi, was from Yamaguchi. The story goes that in 1887, it was on visit down at the very western tip of Japan's main island that he stayed at an inn and wanted fish, and the lady of the establishment had no fish to serve him except the illegal pufferfish. She decided it was better to risk what might look like an attempted assassination of the top guy in the country than to serve him a subpar meal.

Well, bam, it was so good that pufferfish was legal the following year! By my calculations and presumed dates that KnY takes place, that means it was already legal before Tengen was born. Sorry, buddy, you don't get to be that edgy.

As for how to eat it, the most iconic way is to eat it raw, sliced so thin that you can still see elaborate patterns on the dishes through the translucent flesh. This is called "tessa." It's often arranged in elegant patterns evocative of chrysanthemums, or on festive occasions, like a phoenix. It's most often a winter dish, but you can get it all year round. It has a very, very light, rather unflamboyant flavor, and is therefore typically eaten with a special variety of onions grown to accompany it, and other condiments like ponzu, citrus, and momiji-oroshi (grated daikon with chili pepper).

The main draw is the texture of the fish. As someone who enjoys sashimi, I did find the texture of tessa very, very nice when I recently got a chance to try it. The same meal also served the skin, and the flesh cooked into a rice porridge dish.

I wonder if Hinatsuru is almost done?

Not yet. Then let's talk about incidents and safety!

Basically, if you're not in Japan: DON'T DO IT. Heck, if you're in the European Union, it's illegal in the first place. There are very, ve-r-r-r-y slim opportunities of eating it in the United States after it is sourced from Japan, and although frozen tessa can travel, really, why bother eating in New York City? If you have that budget to spend, just fly to Japan. Anywhere else... just don't do it. The restaurant fatalities in recent years have primarily been in countries that don't have as stringent of a training and certification process as Japan. Japan also has a small handful of cases each year, but they don't usually end in fatalities because the accidental poisonings may not always be a large dose, and the victims received medical attention that got them through the crucial hours of paralysis. Also, those cases have typically been due to overconfident fishermen, not mistakes made by industry professionals.

But if you're in Japan----oh! It looks like Hinatsuru is done.

All of those examples? Things I have eaten in real life, often under the mistaken impression that "fugu" referred to two different kinds of fish (as happens sometimes), as there was no way I'd have eaten fugu without signing a waiver first, right???

No. Not at all. It is totally realistic to find yourself in a situation where you are served fugu without realizing what it is (though I imagine most tourists don't find themselves in these situations unless they have a guide who planned things without asking about dietary preferences). To demystify this fish a bit, there is so much fugu consumed without incident that you can get to a point where the possibility of poison doesn't even cross your mind. They sell it at a regular grocery story just down the street from where I live in a place that is not famous for fugu or anything like that. (Also, no one brings it up as much, but raw eel is toxic too! You never see it available for sale unless it's been precooked or specially marinated. Again, industry standards.)

Granted, I was still nervous about eating tessa, and the danger is still part of the thrill of fugu, though the industry stresses its merits as a tasty and (otherwise) healthy fish. I get the feeling that if Tengen lived in the Reiwa era, he'd find pufferfish disappointingly lower risk now than suits his thrill. Nonetheless, although I'll eat it if it's served to me, it is not something I go out of my way to eat.

But I will state it again: ONLY eat pufferfish that has been prepared by a professional in Japan. Otherwise, DO NOT.

After spending 13 fucking days dizzy and barely able to function, I am finally done with these! I should have done shading, but I was already way behind.

For @peachdues fic Phantasmagoria, which is a modern AU and these were the outfits she posted about for each character. Y/N is my character Kerushii.

Im thinking about writing for demon slayer maybe?? I haven't watch the whole anime but I want to write for it.

Characters I will write: Tengen(and wives), Tanjiro(only sfw),Nezuko(only sfw), Shinobu, Mitsuri, Muzan, Kagaya, Tomioka(sfw only),

So what do you think??

Let me explain why sfw only:

Tanjiro and Nezuko: they are teens so I won't write anything nsfw for them, not even aged up bc I can't imagine them aged up so yeah.

Tomioka:he is hot I agree but he is so quiet and everything I can't imagine him as dom and I don't write dom reader so no, only sfw.

The mission was a simple but difficult one - pry out as much information about the demon as possible while regularly reporting back to Lord Tengen. Hina, Makio and Suma were confident and competent individuals who could easily carry their own weight and fullfil all of their tasks, especially if their beloved husband requested them to do so. They managed to successfully infiltrate their target locations but things quickly went south, and it's not for the reason you'd might think.

Tengen suddenly started getting a few extra details in his reports and he did not know how to feel about it. It was centered around an individual known as (y/n) and all three of his wives were absolutely smitten to say the least. Being the proud man that he was Tengen naturally did not initially respond well to these news - Suma was the first one who started to dedicate whole letters to (y/n), a humble cleaner that went from house to house all day, every day, just to make ends meet. Suma was enchanted by (y/n)'s kindness and begged Tengen to meet (y/n) as soon as possible! Soon enough Makio started to sing her own praises as all of her reports had an entire section dedicated to (y/n). At first it was sort of an attempt to convince Tengen that (y/n) was being targeted by the demon but the mighty demon slayer would simply laugh as he read her papers, knowing full well that Makio was also under (y/n)'s spell. It was only a matter of time until Hina too started to talk about (y/n), how impressed she was with their will and determination but she (along with the other two of course) expressed much concern about (y/n) and their well being - (y/n) is so kind and naive, Lord Tengen can we please do something about this?

And who was he to deny his wives requests? Besides, he himself was far too curious about this individual by this point, it felt as though he knew (y/n) personally with how much his wives were writing.

The mission was going to come first, that was a given.

But having (y/n) to focus on the side was a surprising treat to say the least.

Poor Tengen was worried sick about his sposes and he immediately went out to scout for (y/n), hoping that they could maybe give him some solid information while also finally checking them out himself.

Tengen liked what he saw.

After this mission was done, would it really be that bad to bring (y/n) back with them all? His wives would obviously be thrilled by the news and Tengen himself had started to become rather fond of cute little (y/n).

Screw it, what's the harm? It's not like (y/n) was in the position to deny!

Some Uzugiyuu’s!! For my soul <33

I think Giyuu would panic if picked up, like he just freezes.

He grabs Hina’s yukata on accident and Suma picks up his - I am confident they’re all of like a similar height

Tengen and his wives spoiling Black!Fem!Reader would include:

Requested by: @blackbarbies-posts

Well it wasn’t a a secret that the former Shinobi and his wives had taken a liking to a certain [s/c] skinned woman

Well at least to them anyways, you were completely oblivious to their crush on you

you were the new Flame Pillar, you were at first Rengoku’s tsuguko but since he died you became his replacement (still can’t get over how they ended him I was bawling in the theater)

Tengen had already known of you before and he had to admit you were an extremely beautiful woman

His wives also agreed, they had never seen a woman like you in Japan before (has any of them tbh?)

Tengen was very aware of his growing crush on you, and his wives, Suma, Makio, and Hinatsuru, began crushing on you too

Whenever you were on missions with them they tried to impress you by showing off (mainly Uzui and Makio)

But ever since becoming a Hashira you’ve had less and less time to do your routines and buy supplies to maintain your healthy hair

When Tengen and his wives overheard you complaining to Shinobu and Mitsuri how you wish you had more time to buy your supplies, they decided they would take you out and spoil you:

You walked out of your estate feeling tired from your most recent mission, damn what a pain being a Hashira was. Imagine how surprised you were to see Tengen and his wives standing in your front yard waiting for you. “Hello Uzui-san. Is there anything I can help y’all with?” (Yes I made her have a southern accent for all my southern black sistas) “After many years of knowing each other, you still use formalities when addressing me. I must say, [Y/N], that isn’t very flamboyant.” Tengen said as he stepped in front of you. “Oh sorry….Tengen. Is there anything y’all needed.” There was an awkward pause before you had said his first name. “Well, we were thinking-“ Tengen was caught off by Makio. “We and Lord Tengen were thinking of taking you out for today, since we overheard you complaining about not having enough time to do your errands!” She said quickly.

Your face began to light up as you clapped your hands together. “Wow, really? That’s so sweet of y’all, it’s nice of you to think of doing that for me!” You said happily. “Wahhh! Of course [Y/N]-chan! We’d love to see you happy!” Suma said with a cute blush appearing on her face, not that it was noticed by you. “Agreed, you did tell us about how important taking care of your hair was in your culture.” Hinatsuru said. “Today is a day for us to all take a break, so [Y/N] go put your sword away and change into a comfortable yukata.” Tengen ordered. You quickly went back inside your estate, changing and putting away your sword before coming back out and starting your “break day” with the polyamorous couple.

You went into town and shopped for what felt like hours, even stopping for food and fun. Hinatsuru helped you pick out some good products for your hair. She was an amazing help. “[Y/N]-chan, don’t buy that. It has sulfur in it. It will damage your hair.” She’d warn you, and you’d thank her every time. Suma would take you to get food, and each time she’d personally hand feed you herself. To Suma, you were a beautiful goddess who shouldn’t even need to lift a finger when you have her at your service. And when you would try to feed her in return, she’d blush like crazy and stutter in such a cute manner it would make your heart flutter. (Ouuuu okay Dr.Seuss we see you👀)

Now Makio, my dearest love Makio. She’s actually the sweetest of the bunch today. Lordy Lord Lord, Makio was helping style your hair today and evening suggesting cute hairstyles you’ve probably never heard of. (Idgaf abt what y’all say that woman is an albino Blasian woman and I stand by that!) Makio has the softest hands in the world! When doing your hair, it was like you could barely feel her hands in there. Sweet baby was trying so hard to not make your head hurt bc even tho her hands are soft she is quite heavy-handed.

And lastly Tengen, we love our music man! This fine wine of a man was protecting you and his wives from creeps that came up to you during the day. He made sure you all were safe and sound, he also bought you and his wives expensive jewelry and clothing. “Only the best for his wives and future wife.” He said, that made your heart skip a beat. The entire day was just filled with Tengen and his wives spoiling and loving you. And you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ahhh! Okay I really loved this request it was so cute!
