I started playing Baldur's Gate 3 a couple months before I ran away from my mother's house.
Looking back on my first playthrough now, I understand why my favorite characters resonated with me so much...
Astarion, who wanted freedom and choice, who wanted to escape the supervision of someone he had to call a Master and whose orders he had to follow.
Karlah, who also wanted freedom and the ability to simply live, without fear, without orders, without having to fight for her life every day, wanting simple closeness, simple... Touch and acceptance, recognition.
Recognition that they were both not monsters and deserved to live.
I didn't know then how close they really were to me.
These two.
I think Genya hates his demon eating ability.
He wants to fight fair and square, with his own strength, and he hates every time he has to take demon flesh just to survive and keep fighting.
He hates the taste of demon flesh, he would rather drink poison, but that's the only way he can survive and heal his wounds.
Genya hates it.
I look at Giyuu and realize that I want to devour him and kiss him at the same time My sweet, silly water boy…

Everyone is used to Sanemi having a rather rough, low voice (I don't mean it's unpleasant, of course), that no one thinks that the man can sing at all.
And then their software crashes when they hear him humming something in thought or if Genya falls asleep on his lap while his older brother plays with his hair.
HE'S THE ELDDEST OF SEVEN CHILDREN, OF COURSE HE CAN SING LULLABIES OR FOLK SONGS TO CALM HIS SIBLINGS
bonus: Giyu is a great listener of songs, but his singing is the same as his attempts to smile (my silly).
I like how: "We all make mistakes. That's what happens when you're brave enoughh to make decisions." Sounds like some inspirational quote from some long dead philopsher... ...but it's actually said in a Bionicle movie by this guy:
this series did not need to go this hard
Cat-Sanemi teaches Cat-Giyu to enjoy life
The first time I saw Gyomei (it was art, I haven't gotten to his part in the anime yet) I was like "Yo Guts, log out"
oh my god
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. 🤗
One of the coolest parts about being a fan of fanfic is you can actually contact the author. And they will respond. And then you can message them nonstop until they allow you into their lives and then you’re becoming their beta reader and suddenly you know multiple authors of all types of fiction books and fanfic authors who will drag out their deleted fics for you to read at a moments notice.
Anyway. Comment on fics and message authors. It’s absolutely worth it.
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!
