So, don't let my fish brain work, ahaha
Art by my dear friend and artist Neon Naga, thank you very much for drawing my girl!
Her name is Vales, like my nickname among my close friends, and her appearance was based on mine, except that she doesn't have the tattoo on her body that I have. Vales is a half-breed, the offspring of a human woman and a demon father, who in my AU was once the Upper Five, but more on him in a bit.
Vales is not exactly a traditional Japanese name, yes, she has northern origins, her family once came to Japan, looking for a new life. Unfortunately, the relationship with her mother did not work out well, and a few years before coming of age, Vales runs away from her, leaving her family to either die in any ditch or find hope and her place. By chance, during her short wandering in one of the inns in the mountains, she learns about her hidden part when the place is attacked by a demon. She survives, defeating the demon, but this new side of her clearly scares her.
However, as a half-breed, she is not susceptible to the same damage from the sun as normal demons, but she can still feel unwell. She does not need to feed on human flesh to live, at least she believes so, for her, eating a human is an unforgivable act. She is quickly found out by the Corps, and when she appears before Ubuyashiki, she is offered to become a slayer. After all, there really is a reason for this, is it better than having her in their ranks of demons and her potential being revealed in a different direction?
Vales is trained by Urokodaki-san, since she is closest to the Breath of Water, but you can tell by her. Her father was a demon who used demon blood magic, bonding himself with water, and actually looked like a sea oni. She inherited some of his traits, and her haori, mask, and nichirin katana perfectly reflect her connection to water.
As for her personality, gods, that poor girl. She's trying not to let down her new adopted family in the Corps, and is slowly learning to open up to other people, which is difficult, especially considering she's the offspring of a demon. But she'll get along great with Nezuko, believe me. She had a younger sister before she ran away, and Komado's sister reminds her of her, which makes her heart warm.
Well, thanks for listening to my nonsense out of my head about my girl!
Swamp Star | Baldurs Gate 3
A rough sketch of one of my main characters. It's unfair, I really love clawed hands, but I don't know how to draw them at all.
So, I had a pretty interesting dream today, but a little backstory.
I'm a big fan of Stardew Valley and Demon Slayer, so sometimes in my dreams my stupid fish brain mixes the two into one, and two or three months ago that's what happened.
That time, I dreamed that I started a new game on a farm, sowing radishes, and with me was… Obanai.
This is very unexpected. Obanai is one of my favorite characters, without a doubt, I like his design, history and personality, I understand him and his arc in many ways, although I don't interact with him or mention him that often. So, I dream that I am gardening with the Serpent Pillar, having a nice and warm discussion about what we should do in the fall season so that we have enough resources for the winter for us and the animals… No one has ever looked at me with such warmth and understanding as in that dream.
And so, today I dreamed again that I was walking down the streets of Pelican City, and I met him. I think he said that he went out to buy something for our farm, and he felt embarrassed that I caught him doing it.
*covers his face in embarrassment*
I don't want to wake up.
I feel like I've been a bit deprived of demons in my work, so is there anyone in particular you'd like me to write about? Feel free, I love all the Upper Moons!
Every time I see Sanemi, I want to put some medicinal drops in his eyes.
“Atleast they got reincarnated together...” I say as multiple tears rolled down my eyes.
It's crazy to think that in this moment Tanjiro didn't just save Genya, he saved Sanemi too.
Imagine the fallout that would have happened if Sanemi had succeeded in blinding Genya.
He would lose the respect of all the slayers including Obanai because ignoring your brother is one thing but blinding him? Nah.
He might get banned from the corps and Kagaya would express his upmost disappointment in him which for Sanemi is like a death sentence.
His relationship with Gyomei would be destroyed. Genya might be his brother but remember he's still under the guidance of the strongest hashira.
I think Gyomei's reaction would be especially disasterous because he knows the kinds of assumptions people make about him because of his blindness, and to find out that Sanemi deliberately blinded his brother. Like dude.
Sanemi would never forgive himself. Like I said ignoring your brother is one thing but intentionally maiming your loved one crosses a line that he wouldn't be able to come back from.
So all this would happen because of some stupid, impulsive decision he made due to fear.
And I think he realizes it too. The fact that he left Genya alone after the incident, if he really thought his actions were sane and justified he would keep trying to poke his eyes out but he didn't. he seems ashamed to face him.
Just look at his face, he's like 'wtf??? I can't believe I almost blinded my baby bro!', 'what the fuck Sanemi?', 'what the fuck?, what the fuck?!'
This is the face of someone who can't believe and is ashamed of his actions.
In his next encounter with Tanjiro notice how he doesn't go apeshit and give him another beat down. It's only when he feels that our bestest boy is making fun of him that he lashes out. He's probably glad that Tanjiro saved Genya and is looking out for him but his stupid male pride won't allow him to say that.
Also look at the position of the scratch on Genya's face. He's being hurt a second time by the people he loves. My poor babyyyyy!
Sanemi I love you but that's absolutely unhinged behavior even for you. Like do I need to bring out the spray bottle?
Bad Nemi! *spritz *spritz
This kinda adds to my theory that Sanemi has some kind of anxiety disorder in addition to his depression.
Also shout-out to Zenitsu for taking Genya away no questions asked. He's such an underrated character. 🤗
I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but
The thing that haunts me is that Sanemi is the only one with his hair color in his family. Yes, he could have gotten his white hair from his other ancestors, but what if it's really gray?
Sanemi is a damn gray-haired kid who suffered so much from his father in the past that his hair turned out like that.
Poor kid.
20/fem/fish I am an awkward artist and writer, sometimes I do music processing but rarely. My love is the Ocean, Dragons and Stars. I am 20 and I am a creature obsessed with various fandoms, with whom you can communicate. Glad to see you on my blog!
