with akaza’s arc (death) on its way i’d like to remind everyone how his tattoos form the character 雪 (snow) which is part of koyuki’s name (恋雪). haha ! fun fact 😀
but genuinely i don’t think any other line evoked such a visceral empty pain from me as i felt when i read “yet at the end of the day, it’s just a pathetic, comical, uninteresting story.”
do you guys remember that "interview with the demons in hell" kny comic and akaza put himself into the "killed by flame breathing" category just so he could talk about kyojuro and koyuki was just there quietly supporting him
renkaza antis who are akaza stans crack me because i kind of get it if your favourite character is kyojuro and you’re a renkaza hater. like yeah akaza killed him thats valid i get mad over it sometimes too 😭 but why are you as an akaza stan hating renkaza because akaza was+
i think i coped with kyojuro’s death better than 90% of the kny fandom bc i’m a renkaza shipper and that means i’m delusional and live in my fantasy where kyojuro never died
it makes me sad when people talk about akaza's backstory and completely neglect the effects keizo and his father had on him as well :') keizo was actually the first one he saw/hallucinated... and when he died, his father was the first one he greeted
one of my favourite genres of renkaza will forever be kyojuro discovering that akaza is ridiculously good at cooking and cleaning and nursing ppl and wondering how the fuck that happened
its really funny to me when tt kny fans are like "akaza was loyal to his wife all this time 🥺" that is actually only partially correct. loyal by circumstance and not by choice. he kept on begging hashira to be with him for eternity and kept on getting rejected.
the stupidest anti rnkz argument is “akaza and kyojuro hated each other” because that is literally so factually incorrect did u see him begging and crying
my favourite akaren thing is when akaza says kyojuro’s name so familiarly and kyojuro is super uncomfortable with it bc barely no one says his given name like that anymore —> when he begins to like the sound of his name coming from akaza. it’s such a satisfying development 😭
how do i explain that i like akrn as a ship bc akaza teaches kyojuro who is sacrificially selfless to be selfish instead and kyojuro brings out the sacrificial selflessness in akaza
“why were you even born” was an incredible line if you understood the foils and context between douma and kanao but everyone on the clock app is illiterate
i just had a thought you know how we never see keizo's eyes because he's always smiling? can u imagine if he has the same eyes as koyuki. pink with flower pupils. it would fit him actually
+ madly obsessed with him. akaza is renkaza’s
#1
fan. this is literally what your favourite wanted for himself why are you so against it? between you and kyojuro akaza would pick kyojuro 😭 sorry babe
sometimes i think about the kny takes i see on tiktok. one time i saw somebody say "hakuji didn't love koyuki, he just felt indebted to keizo and it was a marriage of convenience"??? did we read the same manga??
sometimes i think about how meaningless akaza's entire demon existence is because he's a protector at heart with no one left to protect and that is why renkaza had so much potential 😔
i am a fan of how renkaza art is all or nothing. like they will either be cookie decorating together or kyojuro will have a sword through akaza's chest and akaza is trying to bite his throat out
thinking about how one of hakuji’s biggest fears was losing his loved ones/being alone…. because during his time alone he’s always been at his most miserable :’) and then akaza as a demon continuously asking people to fight him for eternity
do u think in the early days of forming the kizuki akaza was holding out for some decent members joining the upper moons and then they just kept on getting worse and worse (at symbol douma) which is why he resorted to begging hashira instead
no other shade of blue:

Day 3: Devotion
demon!kyojuro! this fic was written for a few other prompts as well: corruption, transformation, and home
kanao ate so hard with "why were you even born" yall clown her for nothing :/ for douma who was told he was born "special" and "blessed by the gods" imagine how infuriating it would be for this 16 year old teen to mock ur reason for being
smoke and mirrors chapter 40:
final chapter 😭it was so fun sharing this with everyone and i hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed writing ❤️❤️
good morning to this panel that haunts me daily 🙃 the implications will never stop hurting. “and next time you will be the one helping people” just kill me it would hurt less
i feel like it just says so much about akaza’s story and the way he disregards his own pain and suffering when he feels guilty. the worthlessness he sees in himself. makes me so miserable. the potential and future he had and deserved. god
comments and op are so weird lol get over yourself and check your asian stereotypes how is it 2024 and you're not embarrassed to be so blatantly sinophobic
