Kokushibo:

And here we have two situations with our boy Akiyo, Sakuro x Maylis son. The first 3 are from the last fight and we have Sakuro being a protective dad with Akiyo.

Like? They're just some powerful, sadistic, apathetic to human demons, who have humans as top meals, but ain't gonna rpe? Nah, impossible. I almost think that they rpe more than they eat humans.

Fandom Problem #6009:

I find it funny when antis think me writing a 1 chapter relationship fic between stepsiblings means that itll make millions of stepsiblings wanna date

Yet i could write a 5 fic series each with 50 chapters about a evil dictator, and the fic could have murder, torture, kidnapping and other horrible stuff hundereds of times.

Does anyone think my fic is gonna is gonna make people wanna be a dictator? No

Do people think my fic is gonna make people wanna be a murderer? No

A kidnapper? No

A torturer? No

Love the whole AU. How it's pictured, described, and how it definitely leaves the reader with the same feeling of hopelessness as the women there, but just gotta ask for my overly creative and wild head: How would all the demons deal with a new clan that's known to treat women as the most precious beings and are slowly stealing the demons' "wives" and into their clan to help recover them? Also, can I write my own small mix of this AU of yours with that idea? I can't explain with words how much I love both "helpless and hopeless" and "terrifying diety women" tropes. I won't if you wouldn't agree to it.

Red Concubine (demon slayer Handmaid AU)

Kotoha’s mouth felt dry. She shouldn’t be surprised, but it was unnerving to hear it said with such nonchalance 

She didn’t know much about Upper Moon Four, but she knew Sekido—and by extension, Zohakuten—by reputation.

Cold. Cruel. Unyielding.

Sekido wasn’t like Douma, who wore a mask of charm over his depravity, drawing in victims with honeyed words and empty affection. Sekido didn’t bother with the act. He was rage unfiltered—merciless in execution, with no tolerance for disobedience or failure.

They were feared by all. Servants spoke their names in hushed whispers. The Shusei lowered their eyes when they passed, their very presence enough to drain the blood from a man’s face.

Everyone knew what had happened to Lady Shinobu’s previous demon Shusei.

A single insult. A moment of misplaced arrogance. That was all it took.

The punishment had been legendary in its brutality.

Skin bubbled and peeled, burned off in layers—only to be regenerated and scorched again.

Her brain liquefied within her skull, over and over, each time forcing her to relive the agony anew.

Her tongue was torn from her mouth. But that was not the end of it.

Zohakuten, with the same serene malice he wielded in battle, had forced his wooden roots down her throat, shoving them deeper and deeper, watching as her body convulsed, choked, and spasmed—as if she were a mere insect pinned beneath his fingers.

It was a warning. A demonstration of power.

To insult Upper Moon Four was to invite a fate worse than death.

Part 2 of the comic of before, credits to Deroniecomme from X, of course.

Listen. I just love the last expressions of them. LIKE!?!?!

Sekido: Oh fuck... this is what I'm getting in... shit...

Aizetsu: Maybe.... maybe there are some humans that are terrifying... fuck.

Karaku: Hehehe... oh man, I'll be dead... I'll be dead as hell...

which of the clones would we soften up to first? because it's gonna happen eventually, right? I imagine it's Urogi > Karaku > Aizetsu > Sekido

Aizetsu then Karaku, i think.... Urogi and Sekido are spot on yeah!

Who you choose to pursue first is up to you. This is who gets all mushy for you in what order. once you have Urogi pining, youre hard locked into their route, sorries.

[rambling about losers softening up]

Urogi, he's just a needy guy who gets pretty hungry.. It's easy to set him off at first because while he's reckless, he's not about to trust a stranger! His problem is when optimism and overconfidence accidentally mix making him receptive to you. You can't do anything to him, he's upper four! but once he's in the palm of your hand, he'll refuse to leave. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and any kindness and tending make him really happy. Being with you brings a different kind of joy he never expected. It's warmer, kind of nerve wracking but exciting at the same time. Like he found his place with you. His heart flutters in a way that gets him so giddy, he can't help but want to reach out to you forever! The addictive tightness in his chest pushes him to crave you, since you're the only one who makes him feel this way!

Urogi softens up to you first because you're not a real threat to them. You're just a squishy weakling! A cute one! A reaaaally really cute one, like very cute.. too cute to eat...... DEFINITELY too cute to let anyone else eat!

The rest have their guard up to some degree and won't just throw their heart around at anybody. The world is against them after all!

Aizetsu is a tough nut because of his demotivation and overall apathetic sorrow. He makes no moves to progress or distance himself in the beginning, you're just someone, and he's stagnant. he's quicker to warm up to you than Karaku if you pamper and spoil him a little. like cleaning his spear, providing a place for him to rest, to wash up, or rescuing him from the others into a quieter room. Hell, if you get him food somehow, he stares at you with wide eyes and accepts the gift. It's not difficult to notice how Aizetsu melted after a while when he quietly follows you around like an cat that's constantly seeking affection. What shocks his clone counter parts is how he willingly volunteers to actually DO things for you. You make things so bright, he can't help that he's like a moth to a flame.

That's if you're doting to some degree, but Aizetsu comes around eventually either way, just because you provide shelter (that they technically forced their way into, but never mind that.) He does things with impressive efficiency the others were not expecting he was capable of. So what if he wants to show off a little..?

Karaku isn't easy because he really feels nothing for you aside for entertainment at first. the fact you're able to juggle all four of them amused him is all. He'd enjoy picking and teasing you, the others as well. Calling out when their faces would get red around you and cackling at them. It's difficult for him to tell the difference between pleasure and actual affection, but he never thinks on it too hard. Karaku probably even flirted with you or fought for your attention cause the others wanted it. When asked about you, like your name or interests, he deflected the question. What do you mean? how was he supposed to remember that?! He realized he fell when he's on his own and finds his mind wandering to you, thinking about the little things you do. How you eat, look when something mildly upsets you, when you're genuinely happy. then cusses under his breath cause now he fell for the same trick the others did. Oh, well, no use fighting off these feelings.

Karaku is like the play boy who falls for the first time, except he just needs time around you to actually fall. he accepts it cause this just makes things ten times more interesting. Now he's emotionally invested!! The others clown on him when he slips up and calls you by your name instead of a nickname.

Now for the toughest nut to crack since he's actively rejecting these feelings, Sekido! They rejected their humanity even as a human, why the hell is he going to allow himself to get attached to their food? Because he's as foolish as the idiots he's around, including you! He finds himself sputtering for words if you agree with him after venting, actively listening to him and trying to make his life easier. he's so... conflicted. Similar to the others, he doesn't deny his feelings once they've taken root. he might as well fight air if he were to try. And it's internally comforting to have someone capable of rangling his clones to some extent..

You'd need to have the favor of the others before Sekido fully allows himself to warm up to you. Like the ultra secret tough route of a dating sim..... but its so worth it when you get to see how he sends everyone away except for you so he can "think" on his own and insists that your presence is absolutely necessary.

Nah, don't worry. You can have your Gyokko back, I secretly love Kyogai the most out of every demon.

I mean,

LOOK AT HIM!! 🥰🥰🥹🥹

@hantengudelulu @fallstreakfeathers @virtuousweakling: If there were other supernatural creatures in the KNY world, that demons could kill and eat (for example: werewolves, sirens, mermaids and a thousand other fantasy creatures), would their blood be more "interesting" than humans due to not being fully human blood? Like, could it be similar to a marechi type of taste? Don't know how that popped up in my head.

Hantengu (Love) clone oc: Sakuro by Deroniecomme on X.

That man... HMMMMMMMM!

I'll be screaming and Creaming at any of your commands and wants, sir. Just say when and I will.

My legs are divorcing the most for you only. Just those eyes got me blushing.

Now, I'm just imagining him falling for Kokushibo's daughter, who could be working as an oiran or geisha, and Kokushibo just having high ass standards for Zohakuten to follow if he truly wants his daughter. The standards possibly being that HE has to do most of the work while she just finishes it up and makes it perfect (around the house). Like, Kokushibo doesn't want his daughter to lift a single finger in their marriage. I'm almost wondering how Zohakuten would react to that, because I see it in a comical way, of some type.

@hantengudelulu

My Zohakuten HeadCanons

Hatred Toward Humanity: As the embodiment of hatred, Zohakuten harbors deep disdain for humanity. He sees humans as weak, corrupt, and beneath him, unworthy of respect or mercy-applies to most demons too

Ageless Yet Misunderstood: Despite his childlike appearance, Zohakuten is well over 200 years old and fully developed in intellect and ideology. Many underestimate him due to his youthful looks, forgetting that he possesses the wisdom and malice of an adult demon.-Kind of bothers me people characterize him as a child when he is not.

Misogynistic Beliefs: Zohakuten holds extreme misogynistic views, fully supporting male violence toward women and seeing them as inherently inferior. He values strict hierarchies and order, believing that only the strong deserve to rule, and that subjugation is the natural state of those beneath him. Women especially.

Fear and Respect Among Clones: His clones fear him—he is their absolute authority. While Karaku, Aizetsu, and Urogi would be a bit unnerved in his presence, Sekido’s maybe not so much. Sekido may not be afraid, but he acknowledges Zohakuten's power. Hantengu, on the other hand, is viewed as a pathetic, weak being—worthy of protection in this cruel villainous world.

Victim Mentality Rooted in Hatred: Zohakuten carries a victim mindset, not in the sense of self-pity, but in a seething, righteous fury. He believes he has been wronged and uses that as justification for his malice and cruelty.

No Interest in Pets or Attachments: Unlike other demons who may take interest in humans or demons as pets or companions, Zohakuten sees himself as far above such indulgences. He considers no one truly worthy of standing beside him.

Respects Strength, Not Status: He acknowledges Akaza’s fighting skills, possibly extending that respect to Gyutaro. However, Kokushibo is the one demon he would truly admire, as his discipline, power, and unwavering devotion to Muzan align with Zohakuten’s ideals.

Potential for Mating: If he ever desired a partner, it would be purely for his own needs. He would demand nothing less than an untouched and highly refined oiran or noble woman, someone of great beauty and status. However, he would not concern himself with earning her favor—her purpose would be to serve him, not the other way around. Her payment is the honour of his presence. He would expect absolute formality, similar to a concubine’s role in a shogun’s court, requiring strict obedience, reverence, and the utmost deference—addressing him as "sama" and fulfilling his demands without question. There would be no sentimanility or gift giving on his part. Doesn't give a damn about the partner's pleasure.

Xenophobia or racist? While Sekido exhibits a xenophobic distrust of those outside his perceived order, Zohakuten takes it further—I reckon he is a full-blown supremacist, believing that certain beings, especially certain humans, are inherently lesser and deserving of eradication or servitude. I'm not sure if it counts as racism if you hate everyone?

I guess of his interests-meditating in storms? Maybe likes the sound of Japanese war drums like the Taiko

Probably similar to Sekido in enjoying the lore of Raijin and Fujin

Probably enjoys watching destruction unfold-like humans perishing in some sort of natural disaster or a lower level demon destroying a village

Might engage with the occassional spar with someone he considers worthy? maybe Akaza? Possibly Gyutaro? Definately Kokushibo.

All in all, an A grade asshole. Muh favorite. Irredeemable.

Not feeling like the yandere vibe, so SEKIDO FAMILY FLUFF!!! @hantengudelulu, @virtuousweakling

It was supposed to be a normal evening between your little family with Sekido and your two babies, Himiko and Toya, but Sekido had decided to have one last game before bed that even you seemed to enjoy playing in.

It was right before where Toya would want a bedtime story, and to be honest, you ran out of ideas of what to make up to say as a bedtime story, but thankfully, Sekido had a plan...

The kids' bedroom was filled with three kinds of laughs: Sekido's "wicked" laugh, your shocked and surprised one, and the babies' surprised and excited laugh. He had you close to his chest, almost over his shoulders as he looked at the little ones while laughing again.

Himiko and Toya continued with their giggles and laughs a little while enjoying the play that their father had placed on and acted on. That, of course, didn't stop you at all from playing along as well.

"Hahaha!! Look at now of what the evil king got!! He's got your precious queen, and there's no chance to escape or free her!! So, what will you do now, young knight Himiko? Nothing that you use will be affecting me!!"

"Oh, no! Not the evil, merciless king! Oh, his clutches are the most cruel I've ever been trapped in!! Oh no, who shall save the poor old queen??" You pretended to act like a fainting damsel in distress at the play, placing an arm over your forehead in exaggeration.

The babies, of course, enjoying this too much, joined it with their small battle screams: "Mama!! Noooooooooooo!!!"

"Hahahaha!! I've heard that only a "true love's kiss" can help the poor queen, but I shall give her one of pure hate and madness to make sure she'll always be in my clutches!!" And that's how basically Sekido had placed you in a dipped position and almost started with the tongue kiss, but the young knight Himiko and the young princess Toya, quickly went to protect their mama by trying to pull Sekido away by pulling at his hair, clothes and horns.

That, unfortunately, would go "unpunished" by the king's rules. He quickly grabbed Toya as well and held her tightly on his shoulder and looked at Himiko, and laughed evilly... again. "Now, what are you going to do, defenseless knight? I have the two most important things in the world in my arms!! You don't! You have simply lost! Accept it!!"

But then, with as much voice Himiko had, he let out a loud cry and tackled down Sekido, as well as you and Toya, and started to cover his dad's eyes. Everything seemed to be winning in the little ones' favor...

However, Sekido quickly overpowered everything and pinned down the three of his "opponents", tickling his kids with his hands and his wife with kisses on her neck.

After that fun encounter, it left everyone breathless, and the babies fell asleep quickly after that.

Now, in mom and dad's room, Sekido was holding you close and rubbing your back and sides, even him being left out of breath from the fun, but of course he couldn't stop only on that part of the games, so he slowly flipped the position so he can lay on your chest and have the same naughty and mischievous grin as he did on the wedding night and slowly rubbed your inner thighs apart and flicking out his tongue and whisper: "Why don't we try to have another small "opponent" again? You said it yourself that carrying our child made you extremely happy, so why not I be a good husband again?~"

Hantengu: happy purring while being petted and comforted

Girl: confused asf ??????

Clones: jealous and wanting some as well

Girl: I'm sorry, but I just can't grow multiple limbs...

Clones: >:(

@hantengudelulu

@virtuousweakling

Listen, I just know that if somehow, a demon, EVEN THE UPPERMOONS, get close to a human who gives them what they didn't get enough of in their human lives, they just won't leave it alone. It's kinda like an AU of mine where a demon can have a favorite human that they don't ever let go of, because why would they? It's THEIR human. Period.
