' Hashiras are paid as much as they want '
Muichiro is younger than me but he's already out there making himself rich what am I even doing with life.
“You know,” she said, as she felt a sinking feeling in her chest, “I feel like all I can ever do with these small hands is carry broken little butterflies. If I cup my hands together, they keep piling and piling up. But you, Tomioka-san… you’re already at your limit, aren’t you? Carrying those two wings on your back.”
- Shinobu to Giyuu, in Hashira First, Spouses Second: The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU by @demonslayedher
Oh God, what a sentence. Shinobu referring to her situation of her students keep dying and how every time it happened the guilt burden her further, cupping those broken butterflies with her tiny hands. "Carrying those two wings on your back ", referring to Sabito and Tsutako AAGHH GAH OH MY GODD
It's late, I am tired from first exam paper and the flu and I WANT TO DRAW THIS SCENE GRRR GRRR
Wait until I have time to draw properly.
(and it's only the second chapter GOD DAMN yeah I am totally drawing scenes from the fic I love it so much)
Late night scribbles, attempting to draw Miguel o'hara and noticed how I draw his hair like I draw Tanjirou's
The Spiderverse doesn't have limitation so I am adding Rui to be another problem for the spider society 🥰
MEOWS MORALES???
Remembering how Inosuke figured out Shinobu's death simply by looking at Kanao's expression made me think that he is more observant than I thought he is.
Can we talk about Inosuke probably can read body language like an expert because let's face it, living in the wild needs you to know the language of the animals' reaction so you could ensure your safety. And I wonder how much time he has spent with Kanao at the Butterfly estate before the infinity castle arc, since he seems to be able to grasp on Kanao's body language and expression so quick.
( angst aside, if this headcanon is true, then he knows some of his braven action creeps others out and he just straight up ignore them )
Tanjirou having the brother rizz
(I am feeling a little bit evil so Giyuu doesn't get to have his chance hugging Tanjirou cause there are too many people so he leaves with his head down like a disappointed dog)

Rengoku Kyojuro is a patience young boy. He took pride in that small bit of him because he was aware of how much damages could be done when your emotions were left unchecked. He was patience when it comes to completing his training, patience when it comes to taking care of his little brother and certainly patience when it comes to deal with his father.
But he, just like other normal human beings, had his own limits too.
Kyojuro couldn't helped but to glower down on the waste of food in the trash can -- the food that he and Senjuro had cooked for their dear father. Among the food, scattering around were pieces of papers, one that he recognized its origins based on the writings he could detect from tbe pieces. The food and letters he and Senjuro had made for their dear father. For their father's birthday. Senjuro, bless that small boy, had been nothing but excited and skipping in his steps when he walked around the market with Kyojuro to find the food's ingredients, blabbering on whether their father would like the meal they made for him or not. Senjuro was so excited to show how much progress he had made in writing kanji that he kept redoing the letters all day before.
The least their father could've done would be keeping the letters if he found the food to be inedible for him.
Kyojuro lose the appetite to make himself a dinner, plopping his sheathed sword on the table as he hurried to tie the plastic from the trash can to be put outside before Senjuro could see the fills in it. He wouldn't want his little brother to cry another endless of tears with the lack of love from their father. He kept his hands clenched, keeping down the boiling rage inside him as he walked passed his father's bedroom.
The urge to burst in and scream at the old man was tempting, but Kyojuro knew nothing would be gained through reckless anger.
Yet, even after he finished with putting out the trash and scrubbing his hands clean, he still couldn't sit tight or calm himself. His uniform was dirty from the last mission he just finished. He should take a bath. But he stood there alone in the kitchen, hands still clenching tight. With a huff, Kyojuro placed back his sword into his belt and left the estate to take a walk outside. Danger be damned, if he couldn't tone down his anger, he would be the most dangerous one around lurking in the night. He walked and walked, mind somewhere else, letting his feet to take the lead.
Kyojuro tilted his head up to the sky, pressing his lips. Oh, what would his mother thought of the family situation now? Her absence had a great effect, but his father acted like he was the only one who suffered the most. By God, Kyojuro and Senjuro lost their own mother that day, Senjuro couldn't even remembered how she looked like! They could still lived like it was another normal day, but why couldn't their father did the same? Why couldn't their father be strong enough? Why did it have to be Kyojuro who had to lighten up the household and carried on the responsibility?
He was so tired. He just turned 16 years old last month, give him a break.
Kyojuro stopped walking, his mind snapped back to reality as a new scent stirred in the air. His stomach growled once he recognized the smell to be of a food, alerting him that he had not eaten anything since finishing his mission. Which stall opened at late night near the forest? Maybe it was a demon's trick. With that in mind, he grasped on the hilt of his sword, eyes darting around for any signs of dangers as he continued to walk closer to where the smell would be.
Standing in front of him now was a building, the sign outside introduced him that it was a restaurant. A restaurant in the middle of nowhere? How very suspicious. Kyojuro approached the building and noticed a small whiteboard sign propped near the entrance.
☞ 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘧

☞ 𝘈𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥
Huh, he never seen such rules before in any food selling places he went to. Looking at the structure of the building, it seemed to be newly built and recently opened. Still suspicious though, why would anyone want to build a restaurant away from the public eyes? The sounds of footsteps coming from the inside caused him to jump in surprise, and peeking out through the entrance was a woman.
She didn't looked Japanese, perhaps a foreigner. The woman noticed Kyojuro standing outside and blinked at him. She stared at him for a good couple of seconds before standing straight, adjusting her headscarf and smiled.
" It's a bit late for you to be out. Would you like to come in for something to eat? "
Kyojuro would have rejected the invitation if it wasn't for his stomach growling louder than before, drawing in the awkwardness and embarrassment in him. The woman tilted her head, her smile seemed amused now. Defeated, Kyojuro covered his red ears with his hair and looked down on his clothes.
" I apologize for my state of clothing. I didn't even know there was a restaurant around here. "
" Do you have blood on them? "
Kyojuro squinted his eyes a little. " I hope not. "
" Hmm, good enough for me. Wash your hands and feet first before coming in. "
The woman disappeared inside the building, leaving Kyojuro to decide what to do. He wished he had bathed first before taking a walk. Dusting off the dirt from his clothes, he took off his footwear and cleaned his hands and feet.
___________
The inside of the building was much more fascinating that he thought it would be. The lights were bright, clean tables and chairs neatly in their positions and the plants inside made the place looked more lively. He was so busy looking around the facility he didn't realized the woman had placed his order in front of him, as well as his drink. He wasn't sure what to order, so he opted for a noddle meal, in which the woman nodded and told him she had something for him.
The broth looked heavenly thick, white noddles filling in every corner of the bowl, green vegetables and onions in the soup made it looked fresh and the boiled egg and shrimps popping out in between the noodles seemed to glint under the light. It was the same scent he smelled before -- filled with richness and spiciness that smelled so good even before his tongue could taste it first. It was beautiful.
" You're drooling. " The woman offered him chopsticks, seemingly pleased that her cooking looked good. " If you want to use spoon or fork, I'll get them for you. "
Kyojuro smiled back, reaching for the chopsticks. " Thank you for the food. " Careful not to burn himself, he slowly took the first bite of the noddles.
Oh, this. This reminded him of the times his mom would made him noodle soup when he was feeling down. She would also made tempura and sweet potatoes dessert for him, smiling so sweetly as he offered to help her cook. The coconut broth of the meal was delicious, the noodles were easy to chew and swallow. It was both spicy and sweet, bot flavors balancing each other. The food was warm, it was tasty and it was comforting.
" 𝘜𝘮𝘢𝘪! " Kyojuro found himself chanting as he took another bite, again and again until only the broth was left in the still steaming bowl. That was fast. He didn't realized how starving he was.
The woman returned again, napkins in her hands as she lit up at the finished food.
" That good? "
" It was amazing! Delicious! " Kyojuro cried out, noting on how he felt more energetic than before. " What it this meal? Please do tell me! "
She laughed. " It's laksa, usually done with coconut broth or curry flavor. Laksa is a spicy noodle soup from Malaysia, also found in other South East Asian counties including Singapore and Indonesia."
" I feel so much better now! Amazing! " He repeated, eyes twinkling in amazement.
" I am glad you like it, kid. It's on the house. "
" Oh no, I simply cannot -- "
" It's fine, I am about to close anyway. " She insisted, waving the napkins in his face before setting it down on the table. " Besides, I couldn't leave a hungry child out alone, could I? "
" Well then, if you can't receive money as my thank you, then shall I spread the word of your restaurant so you can gain more customers? " He suggested, crossing his arms over his chest. " I do find this place to be too far from the public..."
The woman paused, a flicker of worry could be seen on her face, which then vanished as she gave him a smile.
" I guess that would be nice. Thank you, Rengoku. "
Kyojuro nodded, pleased with the settlement. Belly full, energy recharged and in a good mood, he bid the woman goodnight and hurried back to his house, already thinking of bringing Senjuro to the restaurant and maybe even try on the woman's recipe to try again with gifting his father with another food.
It didn't occured to him of how she knew his name in the first place.
Kokushibou : You have potential.
Akaza : You could be stronger if you just...eat more.
Douma : I know you want to. Humans are bound to be curious.
Tamaki Amajiki : * Starts to cry* Who are you people
Muzan : Join us, child, become stronger.
But for real, imagine what Tamaki could do if he...eats people.
Find yourself a co-worker that effortless carry you like a sack of potatoes
I've named my OC Astra and here is some bits of her as a child with her brothers
Art credit : Rose_c in twitter
Just imagine
Akaza, reborn as a cat and finds a reincarnated Koyuki his fiancee.
But Koyuki is still sick and is allergic to cats so Akaza has to protect her in his cat form from afar.
Douma, reborn as a...um peacock. That got hurt and found by reincarnated Kotoha and Inosuke. But! Kotoha is actually afraid of big birds and helped him out of pity.
Inosuke hates him and would try to chase him away when Kotoha wasn't looking. Shinobu and Kanao are his friends and they whenever they look at peacock Douma, they want to kick him by instinct.
Kokushibou, reborn as a tarantula spider. Sees his reincarnated brother having a happy family and one of his kid found Kokushibou and decides to take him as a pet.
So here's the thing; ALL OF THEM REMEMBER THEIR LIFE AS DEMONS.
And this punishment is a form to show the demons how much they're missing. How they can't be with people they once cared about. How they can't say sorry to them.
This will process will repeat over and over until their sins are forgiven.
So Akaza might has to watch Koyuki be with someone else instead of him,
Douma always being treated harshly by Inosuke, Shinobu and Kanao.
Kokushibou, unable to say sorry for everything he done to Yoriichi.
Wow I like to make myself suffer
