I feel like Tanjiro would confide in Nezuko about his crush on Inosuke and he would speak very passionately and excitedly about him with Nezuko nodding along, just happy that Tanjiro is in such a good mood even if he is talking her ear off CONSTANTLY. Like, any time they separate from Inosuke and Zenitsu for like two minutes, he feels the need to go on rants about Inosuke’s pretty face, his sense of humour, how nice his muscles are, his usefulness and loyalty to the team, literally anything he can think of in his ultra gay mind just as long as Inosuke can’t hear. And if her brother wasn’t such a good bean who deserved the world and so much more, Nezuko would have shut him up ages ago.
Meanwhile, since Inosuke figures that Tanjiro shouldn’t understand his feelings for him before he knew himself what they were, he confides in (an unwilling) Zenitsu who he just assumes is really smart since he knows so much, having not grown up in the mountains like the rest of the group. I feel like their conversations would be something like
Inosuke: I think Monjiro might be trying to kill me! Every time I see him my heart beats really fast and I feel sick! And he keeps sneaking into my mind which is really pissing me off because it makes me feel all giddy and like I need to be around him to be happy. I also want to protect him from all harm for some reason, even though he can fight! But the worst part is that he looks really good and is very distracting, especially when he smiles!
Inosuke: I think he’s a witch! There’s no other way he could mess me up like this! What do you think??
Zenitsu: He’s not a witch, you just have romantic feelings for him, dumbass. It’s a natural thing that most everyone goes through and doesn’t result in death! I can help you with dealing with it or whatever, if you want.
Inosuke: Yeah!
Zenitsu: Okay, great. Now GET OUT OF HERE SO I CAN FINISH TAKING THIS SHIT IN PEACE!
You know how Zenitsu was struck by lightning and that's why his hair is blonde? This means it probably feels really dead and rough and that bothers him a lot because it used to be so nice and soft.
I guess they all live together and one day Zenitsu comes home to find Tanjiro and Inosuke in the bathroom surrounded by bottles and putting their contents in Nezuko's hair. When he freaks out and asks what the heck they're doing to her, Tanjiro smiles and says "we know how much you hate how dead you're hair feels so we're trying out different "damaged hair repair" shampoos and conditioners on Nezuko's split ends to see which ones would be most effective for rejuvenating your hair!" And Zenitsu just starts fucking sobbing because he doesn't understand what he did to deserve such thoughtful friends
Bonus:
They end up finding one that works really well and so Nezuko helps him figure out a routine of when he should wash and condition his hair. Except it's not him washing his hair; it's Inosuke and his surprisingly gentle hands with Tanjiro just chilling with them and singing his mother's lullabies to a sleeping Nezuko in his lap. They do this, despite him making it perfectly clear that he wants his privacy and he doesn't even need help with it because he knows how to do it! He eventually gives up though because Inosuke keeps threatening him when he tells him to stop which he finds out is because Inosuke feels really relaxed when massaging his scalp and it relaxes him too especially with the soft singing in the background so he’s just like what the hell I'll just let this happen
I love Nezuko. She's a cute girl who's physically super strong. She's a puppy who does whatever her big bro says. She kicks ass. She doesn't talk just makes little noises. She doesn't want to hurt her brother for no apparent reason. She's feral. She thinks (well because she was hypnotized) that every single person in the world is her family. She can recover her energy from sleeping alone. She's literally so epic. Yet I feel like I can't admit that I like her because the only people who like her are perverted men who like that she gets big tits and acts like a dog. I hate that. I hate them.
I love fandoms. I love seeing fanarts for character's birthdays, I love AUs and genderbending, I love going at con and seeing people dressed up how they love, I love the way people unite through fanfictions, I love shipping characters, I love inside jokes, I love edits and animatics, I love headcannons, I love ten page long character analysis and theories, I love fan playlists, I love content creators on Tumblr. I love fandoms.
I have noticed that ppl ignore Nezuko's trauma and say it wasn't sad at all. Like, she saw her own family getting killed in front of her. And before that, her dad died, and as the older sister, she needed to take care of her siblings when Kie and Tanjiro were busy. She was 12. Like, you aren't supposed to act like a second mother at 12. She tried to protect Rokuta from Muzan, but failed and she felt her own brother die in her arms. She was badly injured, but not enough to die and she was suffering mentally and physically. She has a memory loss to deal with her trauma, and can't even play or just be herself like a teen of her age. No, she's supposed to risk her life, hide from the sun, and see her own family getting killed.
Like, can't y'all notice how traumatic it is ?? She was a kid. A kid feeling another kid dying in her arms.
Nezuko! :3
Close ups under the cut
I just adore her a lot!~
I can't wait to see more of her in Hashira Training arc.
