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. 🤗
It's not like they thought it would happen.
Not with their pace of life and the fact that they could die at any moment.
But it happened.
Obanai was just relaxing on the tatami, stroking Kaburamaru's body in his hands, removing old scales, helping his little friend with the molt. It was a rather personal moment, which they usually spent alone, but this time everything happened a little differently.
Sanemi suddenly appears in the space of his room in the Corps, but he doesn't say anything.
In general, he tried, tried to be quieter next to Iguro, knowing that snakes don't like loud sounds, and disturbing Iguro at such a moment would be simply rude.
So with the same silence he approaches, glancing at the place next to Obanai, and, receiving a slight nod, sits down next to him.
The moments pass as Shinazugawa watches the unity between Obanai and his snake without disturbing the peace, and only when Kaburamaru crawls away from his hands does he hand Iguro a bento without looking at him.
"What is this?"
"Lunch. You haven't eaten in almost four days again, idiot. Are you trying to kick back or are you like Kaburamaru and eat once a week?" Wind Hashira grumbles, glancing at Obanai.
He doesn't respond to this reproach, simply accepting the wooden bento and opening it, tilting his head to the side in mild surprise, like a snake. A couple of onigiri, with salmon by the smell, vegetables, and shrimp tempura. Suddenly, his stomach rumbles faintly, only now letting him know that perhaps he really has managed to get hungry during the days when he skipped meals.
"Thank you." Obanai doesn't smile even under his bandages, but he can tell from Sanemi's grin that he's clearly pleased.
They don't speak any further as Iguro eats, bandages loosened and slightly turned away, more out of habit. It's not like there was any point in hiding his scars now, especially from Shinazugawa, who wasn't embarrassed by his own scars, but it made him feel better anyway.
But when he finishes, it's a surprise to him when Sanemi hands him a couple of bluish-colored mochi on parchment.
Obanai starts to say something, but Sanemi simply places the dessert on his lap without looking at him.
"You treated my bugs. Consider it gratitude." he snorts, grinning contentedly as Obanai bites into the mochi, tasting the blueberry filling.
He… He's never been given treats like this, and he's a little confused.
"You're a slob without bandages," Sanemi suddenly mutters softly, using his thumb to wipe away some of the berry filling from Iguro's scars, licking it off immediately, leaving Hashira Snake with wide, surprised eyes.
Damn Iguro, he doesn't even know how adorable he looks right now.
And how adorable and confused he is when Shinazugawa's lips touch his, a light touch, soaking in the taste of blueberries.
It's only then that Sanemi realizes that the damn blueberries leave marks on his skin, and so he pulls away, exhaling.
"Watch your damn diet, Obanai." he curses, standing up and leaving Obanai in shock. It's only when he leaves that Iguro's cheeks burn with realization, and he quickly pulls the bandages back.
The first time you meet him, you swear to yourself that this fucking idiot with scars is clearly not himself and that you will stay away from him.
He is loud, rude as hell, mocking, sometimes you think He genuinely enjoys the way his nichirin blade decapitates demons while He bares his fangs in a sadistic grin.
He is secretive, prickly, does not tolerate those he does not know near him, like a fucking wolf who trusts only his pack, and even if the other Hashira speak well of you, He does not look at you.
You learn his story when Rengoku mentions it one day, and you understand. Before you thought He was just a fucking idiot, now you understand why he is like that.
A man who has lost almost everything.
You promise yourself not to pity him.
Sanemi does not need fucking pity.
You promise yourself that your feelings towards him won't change, and you really do, until you start to notice how difficult it really is for him.
You break your promise to yourself when you realize you're in love.
And you're screwed.
GORGEOUSSSSSS LIL CREATURE OF BEAUTY
Lately my mind has been filled with thoughts about the Demon Slayer AU, but in the setting and atmosphere of the animated films of the Ghilbi studio-
undersea animals when a whale dies
Trying to draw again after a few years… Oh, I really haven't done it in almost four years? Phew, well, a sketch of my oc for kny, a mess of scales, fins and my tattoo. No one forbids half-breeds to have tattoos, right?

*sweats nervously and flaps fins*
Sanemi would be thrilled with the Hollow Knight
don't ask-
I realized that I didn't publish the news that I bought the Genya figur
