So I have this AU idea from demon slayer and I thought I might as well put the idea on the internet even if I never actually write it. It is a female OC x Shinobu type story. No, I do not have a name for her yet. The OC is a historian from the modern era, who has dedicated her research on the stories of demons during 1920s Japan. She became interested because her great grandmother was a kakushi before Muzan was defeated, and told many stories about demons. I wouldn’t say she fully believed in the existence of demons, but she definitely saw them as a possibility. She’s the kind of person that would not rule out any option, no matter how crazy some may be.

So she starts doing some really in depth research so she actually has a decent understanding of how everything about that era works. I like to think she actually can do total concentrated breathing around the clock because she found some scrolls about it and decided to see if the technique actually works by using herself as a test subject. I also like to think that one of her resources is Mitsuri’s diary.

Anyways she goes on a lot of expeditions in order to find more evidence and resources on the topic, and on one of these expeditions she finds some sort of relic or something that sends her in the past. Eventually she finds herself at the demon slayer corps and her relationship with Shinobu grows overtime. Also she would help them bet Muzan. 

I don’t usually write this type of stuff, but let me know if you guys would actually be interested in any of this. I might not create a whole story, but I would probably post headcannons, one shots, and art to elaborate more on areas that you guys might be curious about. Of course if anyone would ever want to write an entire fic based in this prompt then they are more than welcome to. Just let me know so that I can read whatever masterpiece you make.

Edit: I actually made it! Here’s the link to the prologue.

Shout out to my dumbass who got to work super early because I was anxious and ended up forgetting that the doors would be locked. Had to wait out in the cold for 30 minutes. I woke up earlier than planned for nothing.

Story time!

I was a theatre kid in high school. After our opening night it was tradition for all of the cast and crew to go to AppleBees to celebrate and then be there until 2-3 am. In my senior year we had one kid from a different high school join us. He was a really nice guy and worked extremely hard. We also had elementary school and middle school students in a few scenes for the sake of getting more parents to buy our tickets. One of those middle school students was the guy’s younger brother. So when we all went to AppleBees those two guys came with us. I sat next to the little brother and my sibling.

The kid is on his phone, most likely feeling awkward about being the only middle schooler surrounded by high school students. I ended up seeing what he was doing on l his phone. Kid was watching My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. So I ask “Hey are you watching My Little Pony?” My sibling overheard this and started looking at the kid. The kid looks shocked and mortified because two seniors in high school just caught him watching MLP. So imagine his surprise when we start gushing and asking question because we too watch MLP.

We were like “OMG! Who is your favorite character? How far are you? How long have you been into it?”

This kid was in SHOCK that two kids 4 years older than him watched a show that a lot of people in his own age group would tease him about. He was a little timid, but we spent the rest of the night talking about MLP with him.

Never be afraid to be into something you love. It does t matter if it’s technically a show made for kids. That does not make your enjoyment less valid and you never know who might be into the same thing you are.

Also yes, while I am not as into it now, I still consider myself a MLP fan.

This is awesome! The way you described it makes me feel like that Emily would be first by a long shot to figure that they all like each other and would desperately be dropping hints. Meanwhile Charlie and Vaggie are both having a crisis because they are in love with TWO people and have no idea if everyone would be into that. A fun bonus would be Vaggie and Charlie easily catching on that the other likes Emily, but have zero clue if they would fit into the dynamic.

So overall, Charlie knows that Emily and Vaggie like each other, but she doesn’t know if either of them like her or want a poly relationship. Vaggie knows that Emily and Charlie like each other, but she ALSO doesn’t know if either of them like her or want a poly relationship. Emily is fully aware that everyone likes each other and is tired.

Hazbin Hotel Arranged Marriage Idea for Charlie/Emily/Vaggie: In agreement to halt extermination against Sinner/stop a potential war, Hell and Heaven agree to arrange a marriage between Charlie and Emily. A more realistic path will be Charlie residing (held hostage) in Heaven, but I want Emily to live in the Pride Ring. Not trusting the Hellborns, Heaven sends a squadron as guards for Emily, Vaggie just happens to be captain. I don't have much of a plot, but some things I could think of:

Tension between Charlie and Vaggie: Since Vaggie is an Exorcist and hasn't been exiled yet, Vaggie will be more hostile against her. Charlie will try to befriend her and accidentally fall in love because she is so pretty.

Actually, there will be tension between Charlie and Emily, too. Even though Emily was friendly to Charlie in "Welcome to Heaven", she was in her turf But now she is in Hell, and likely being inculcated all her life about Hell will be terrified. Charlie tries to show her the good things of Hell.

In most days, Emily will seek Vaggie in comfort or ask her personal for escorting.

Charlie invites Emily, and indectly, Vaggie, too, a stroll through the Morningstar garden and try to be romantic. But comedy is insured as Hell and Heaven are two very different cultures and have differences of what is considered beautiful. I talking about eldritch plants and horrors.

Charlie tries to bond Vaggie through sparrings, but she does not actually train her ability, keeps getting her ass. And Vaggie, taking pity on her and not because she likes her, teach her how to fight. But, like, one day, she manages to get the upper hand and to land Vaggie on her back. This, and this very important, made Vaggie flustered because she likes it???? Emily is there too since she wants to see her wife and guard/developing crush spur, and now discovering she may have a kink??

Lute is also apart of the guards and she fucking hates Charlie. She thinks the whole marriage is blasphemy but also envy that Vaggie is paying attention to Charlie and not her.

My experience in high school

WTF??!!

I just got 2 Silver Wolfs in Honkai Star Rail in only 20 pulls!! I know I had a good amount of pity for the first one, but the second one came right after! I’ve never had this luck before and I’m so happy that I was able to get her!! I was so scared that I was going to lose the 50/50 because I always have in Genshin Impact.

I kinda need to rant here.

I just watched the new Dear Evan Hansen movie and I personally thought it was amazing. So imagine my surprise when I see that so many people hated the movie. Now I don’t expect people to live the movie just because I love it, but I feel like people are giving this movie WAY too much hate. I think one of main reasons people don’t like it is because it’s an adaptation. They go in expecting it to be exactly like the musical, and then throw a hissy fit when it’s not. Both are different experiences. It’s supposed to be different. That doesn’t mean that the movie is bad! There seems to be a common pattern of pointing out a flaw of the movie, but failing to mention that the musical actually had similar problems!

One of the other complaints heard is that the movie makes them uncomfortable. ITS KINDA SUPPOSED TO BE! When talking about serious issues like mental health, it’s going to make people uncomfortable. Also did they not watch the musical. Both have multiple uncomfortable moments. For Pete’s sake I’m pretty sure the Muscial has more moments that make you wish that that person kept that thought in their head.

I also feel like people don’t understand that the musical, in my opinion, never actually addressed the mental health issues directly. It was mainly shown through the mental health stigma surrounding Conner, but most of that stigma wasn’t called out. Any time that it was was really minor and only in a few sentences. When I watched the musical I was the only one out of my siblings to point out all of the issues. The musical represents mental stigma by having all of the characters stigmatize people, without actually addressing that their actions are wrong. Kind of a this is what the world is type of situation. The movie is a lot more direct when addressing that stigma based behaviors of people, calling them out, and showing the different types of ways that people handle their own issues. I LOVED that the movie decided to use Alana’s character to show that even the most seemingly put together people can struggle with the same issues, not just the social outcasts.

Now I have fondness for both the musical and the movie. Both bring different things to the table, and I appreciate that. The Muscial does some things better and I think the movie does other things better. I’m not saying that no one has the right to hate the movie. But I am saying that people need to start looking at things from different angles. You might still not like the movie, but can still appreciate that it’s something that others can find joy out of it.

I’m not sure if I explained my thought process well, but hopefully some people see where I am coming from.

I want to write a movie that is sort of the flip side of a Hallmark holiday movie. Not an anti-Hallmark movie, just like the other side of the same coin.

It starts with a well-dressed professional woman driving a convertible along a country road, autumn foliage in the background, terribly scenic. She turns onto a dirt road/long driveway, and stops next to a field of Christmas trees, all growing in neat, ordered rows, perfectly trimmed and pruned to form. She steps out of the car--no, she's not wearing high-heels, give her some sense!--and knocks on the door of a worn but nice-looking farmhouse. An older woman, late fifties maybe, answers the door, looking a bit puzzled. The younger woman asks if she can buy a Christmas tree now, today. The older woman says they don't do retail sales--and the younger woman breaks down crying.

Cut to the two women sitting at the kitchen table with cups of tea. The young woman (Michelle), no longer actively crying, explains that her mother loves Christmas more than anything, but is in the hospital with end-stage cancer. Her doctors don't think she'll live to see December, let alone Christmas. Nobody is selling Christmas trees in September, so could the older woman please make an exception, just this once? The older woman (Helen) regretfully explains that they have a contract to sell their trees that forbids outside sales. The younger woman nods, starts to stand up, but the older woman stops her with a hand and asks her what hospital her mother is in. After she answers the older woman says that "my Joe" will deliver a tree the next day. "Contract says I can't sell you a tree, but nothing says I can't give you one."

Next day "Joe" shows up at the hospital in flannel and jeans, with a smallish tree over her shoulder. Oh, whoops, that's Jo, Helen's daughter, short for Joanna, not Joe. Jo sets up the tree and even pulls out a box of lights and ornaments. Mother watches from hospital bed with a big smile as Jo and Michelle decorate the tree. Cue "end of movie" type sappiness as nurses and other patients gather in the doorway, smiling at the tree.

Cut to Michelle sitting in her dark apartment, clutching a mug of tea, staring out at the falling snow and the Christmas lights outside. Her apartment has no tree, no decorations, nothing. She starts at a knock on the door, goes to open it. Jo is standing there, again holding a tree over her shoulder.

Plot develops: the second tree is a gift, because Michelle might as well get it as the bank. The contract for the tree sales was an /option/ contract, which prevents them from selling to anyone else, but doesn't guarantee the sale. The corporation with the option isn't going to buy the trees, but Helen and Jo can't sell them anywhere else, and basically they get nothing. They'll lose the farm without the year's income. Michelle asks to see the contract and Jo promises to email it to her.

Next day at a very upscale law firm, Michelle asks at the end of a staff meeting if anyone in contract law still needs pro bono hours for the year. No one does, but a senior partner (Abe) takes her to his office and asks about it. She says the contract looks hinky to her ("Is that a legal term?" "Yes.") but contract law's not her thing. He raises an eyebrow and she grins and pulls a sheaf of paper out of her bag and hands it over. He reads it over, then looks up at her. "They signed this?"

More plot develops. Abe calls in underlings--interns, paralegals, whatever--and the contract is examined, dissected, and ultimately shredded (metaphorically). It's worse even than it looks--on January 1st Helen and Jo will have to repay the advanced they received at signing. The corporation has bought up a suspicious number of Christmas tree farms in previous years after foreclosure, etc.

Cut to Abe explaining all this to Helen and Jo while sitting with them and Michelle in a very swanky conference room. The firm is willing to take on the case pro bono, hopefully as a class's action suit for other farmers trapped by the contract--but there's no way it can go to court before January. Which will be too late to save the farm's income for the year. They might get enough in damages to tide them over, but….

After Michelle sees Helen and Jo out, she comes back and asks Abe if there's anything they can do immediately. Abe looks thoughtful for a long moment, then gets a really shark-like grin on his face. "Maybe…."

Cut to Helen wearing a bathrobe, coming into her kitchen in the morning. She looks out the window…and there's a food truck stopped in her driveway. She pulls a coat on over her robe and goes out--two more trucks have pulled up while she does this. Driver of the first truck asks her where they park. Another truck pulls up behind the others. Behind that is a black BMW--Abe rolls down the window and waves. Helen directs the trucks to the empty field/yard next to the house. Abe pulls up next to Helen's car and Jo's truck and parks. He and Michelle get out--Abe wearing a total power suit, Michelle in weekend casual.

The case will be easier if the corporation initially sues them for violating the (uninforcible!) contract, rather than them suing to corporation (damn if I know, but it's movie logic). So they're going to sell the trees now, and rounded up some food trucks and whatnot to draw people in.

Cue montage of Jo and Michelle running around helping people set up while Abe and Helen watch from the kitchen table. The table starts out covered in file folders…and slowly gains coffee cups and plates of cinnamon rolls. It becomes increasingly clear here that Abe and Helen are becoming as close as Jo and Michelle.

Everything gets set up and a very urban, very motley crowd appears--tats and studs and multiracial couples and LGBTQ parents and everything--and everyone is having a wonderful time eating funnel cake and choosing their tree so Jo and a bunch of rainbow-haired elves can cut it for them. At which point someone shows up from the corporation (maybe with a sheriff's deputy?) and starts yelling at Helen, who's running checkout. And suddenly Abe appears from the house and you realize why he's wearing that suit on a Saturday….

Cue confrontation and corporate flunky running off with their tail between their legs, blustering about suing. Cue Jo kissing Michelle. Cue Helen walking over and putting a hand on Abe's shoulder and smiling at her.

I want the lawyers to be the heroes because they are lawyers and know the law. I want a lesbian who lives in the country with her mother. I want urbanites to turn out as a community to help someone who isn't even part of their community. I want Michelle to keep working at her high-power job, loving Christmas and grieving her mother.
