Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
Some Random Historian Butterfly Fun Facts
After finishing the newest chapter I’ve been thinking a lot about the Historian Butterfly series. I decided it would be fun to quickly write down some fun facts/headcannons about the characters. Most of these will be about Fukuro. These are things that might not come up in the story or are not covered in depth. Nothing here will be super big spoilers. They might come up in future chapters, but they won’t be a big deal. These are just small fun facts. This was a really fun way to get more of a feel for Fukuro’s character so let me know if you enjoyed.
If Fukuro had a breathing style it would be Water Breathing according to the official Demon Slayer Fanbook. I’m not sure if she would stick to that or use/create another style derived from it.
Fukuro is demisexual biromantic with a preference for women. She doesn’t really see people in a sexual way until she gets to know them. The thought of being sexually intimate with a stranger makes her sick.
In this AU, my headcannon is that Shinobu is a lesbian.
Fukuro is 6’0”. This makes her dynamic with Shinobu hilarious to me.
It’s been implied in earlier chapters, but Fukuro used to put a lot more care into her appearance when she was in high school and middle school. She wore lots of makeup, styled her hair, and loved putting together cute outfits. Once she went to college she got very busy and invested in her research, so she stopped.
Similarly to the previous post, Fukuro also used to wear her contacts much more often. But she started falling asleep with them in when she would spend days researching. Anyone with contacts would tell you how badly this would dry out your eyes. As a result she wore her glasses a lot more to avoid the issue.
Fukuro was very popular during her high school years. Ironically this is why she struggled to make genuine friends. This is also why she prefers to be called by her first name.
Both Fukuro and her sister have different shades of blond hair. Fukuro’s is strawberry blonde, while Emiko has platinum blond hair. This is because their grandfather was from the USA.
Ironically, Fukuro was scared of butterflies as a kid. This is because she once stepped on one and thought she was going to die because it was poisonous.
Despite her clumsy nature Fukuro has never broken a bone. She does have a small scar under her lip due to her teeth going through it when she was little though.
Fukuro doesn’t actually know for sure if she is in the same timeframe as when her great grandmother was a kakushi and when Muzak was defeated. Her memory is fuzzy enough on her grandmother’s stories that she hasn’t figured that out yet.
I like to think that Fukuro’s great grandmother is the equivalent to some sort of background character that always seemed to stumble upon important events. That’s why she knows so many stories.
Fukuro’s great grandmother’s name was Suzume Takara (If I’m correct then her first name means Sparrow)
Fukuro’s insomnia comes from her great grandmother. Her grandmother and mother have similar issues.
Fukuro, as well as her parents and siblings, are all fluent in sign language due to Emiko being selectively mute for a while.
Fukuro’s mother, Yua, is a lawyer. Her father, Hiroshi, works at his family’s bakery.
Fukuro’s back up plan if being a historian didn’t work out was to become an elementary school teacher.
Fukuro’s favorite food is natto, which is fermented soy beans with rice. Most people don’t like it. (It’s one of Japan’s least popular foods and considered an acquired taste) Her least favorite food is cinnamon rolls.
Fukuro is very good at lying, even when it’s on the spot. She knows the best way to lie is to say mostly the truth and leave out details, letting others make assumptions. She hates doing this though.
Guess who was woken up at 12:30 am by a friend because a tornado came through my area early Wednesday morning! The sirens and phone calls didn’t wake me, but a knock at my door did! Luckily it touched down in the next town over so I was safe. But everyone still needed to evacuate to the basement, which was chaos. We had 6 cats and 2 dogs in the room at some point. One of my friends couldn’t find her roommate’s cat carrier so she just wrapped the cat in a blanket burrito and struggled. Eventually we all went back to our rooms at 1:00 am. So that was fun!
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.
