Kanao - Blog Posts
Wow! Another :0
Schools back on so no promises on how fast these would come out :/
Anyway, Kanao's turn!
Still pet au
Ok, bye
------------
Kanao knew how to survive. Don't let them see what hurts you so they have no leverage.
You didn't have to try.
You weren't cruel.
That was the first thing that struck her as odd. Not that she could really feel the shock.
Well, she could. She always could. But if you keep the emotions buried, they couldn't be used against you.
She learned this at a young age.
Growing up from a small breading mill that was running short on money. So short that they sold their demons for dirt cheap.
It didn't matter anyway. She wasn't a high-quality demon. She was one that no one would bat an eye at if she disappeared. Even her owners after the mill thought so.
They weren't that well off either, so when they got her, they made sure she knew that they could sell her at any point for a quick, needed buck. So she 'behaved.'
She acted as what she thought any other good demon did, quiet and obedient. That didn't seem to help too much, however.
The owners after that were a bit better. They had more demons, too. Two sisters that immediately accepted her as one of their own, the younger being only slightly hesitant.
She had learned a lot from them. They took care of her. And when they were alone, when the owners were out, they were confused why she still had that emotionless, obedient attitude. She wouldn't make any decisions.
Kanae had a solution.
She had snuck into the masters' room and taken a coin that she knew no one would miss and gave it to Kanao.
Kanao was hesitant at first. This was stealing! And from their owners of all people.
But her sisters insisted. So she accepted it.
When no one was around and she needed to make a choice?
Coin flip.
When no one was around and the emotions she had built up were starting to show?
Coin flip.
It eased her immensely that she had this to fall back on, even if people still blamed her for the coins' choice. She was fine with this.
And it was from her sisters, so she would cherish it.
She grew with them, learning how to love from them. Showing them the smallest bit of herself.
It was a mistake.
The eldest, Kanae, as she learned, had feared for their life. A man had approached the girls and their owners on a night out, one of their better rewards for good behavior (that they didn't get too often thanks to Shinobu, the younger sister's, mouth) and Kanao accidentally bumped into him.
The man was shouting, and Kanao was confused. She had already apologized. Why was he still so angry? In her moment of thought, she almost didn't register the man raising a fist to hit her until Kanae had already moved in front of her and hit him herself.
Because of a demons' ridiculous strength, she broke several bones in the man's abdomen.
She was put down for this.
This broke both sisters all over again.
Kanae was the only one who really saw an upside to their situation, and with one demon in their care now having had a violent incident on her record, the owners wanted to get rid of the rest fast before a repeat.
So they were sold.
Once again, for dirt cheap.
This owner, you, seemed different somehow.
You never yelled. Hardly ordered.
You laughed when Shinobu made a snarky remark about you. Never truly offended.
And.
You gave them Kanae's hair pin and haori.
How you had aquired these? They may never know, they barely get a chance to ask anything about it without getting at least a little chocked up.
You broke the walls Kanao had put up for so, so many years so easily.
It may not have seemed like it to others, but you could tell. You paid enough attention to see her opening up even the slightest bit. To see Shinobu's sassy remarks getting fewer and further between.
You treated them like they were worth something, and that hit Kanao the hardest.
The two sisters' only regret is that their long past third couldn't get the same love before she was taken from this world.
But that was ok.
They promised themselves to live for her, so that, maybe, she could feel this happiness in the afterlife as well through them.
Move over tanjiro she's mine
[ KNY Infinity Castle arc spoiler ]
Rereading the part where Kanao mocks and insults Douma and I finally understand that in a way, she's gloating.
Douma and Kanao were raised in an environment where neither had the luxury to express their true emotions. They needed to act in a certain way to survive. When they finally found a path that allowed them to be more of what they were, Kanao managed to shape herself according to her choice but Douma couldn't.
Even if Douma has gotten stronger, he would always be in that cult, always performing sweet smiles and playing the role of a savior. He stays in the way he was as a human. He's like a frozen statue, unchanging. His human self wanted a change, a spark of excitement in his dull life and he thought being a demon was the answer.
Kanao is everything that he's not. She finds the will to change while he doesn't. Douma has more power than ever, he could go find something else about himself but no, he let himself be rooted in the same spot.
" Why were you even born? " Kanao probably has asked the same thing about herself, and upon noting the slight similarity between her and Douma, she represented the same question for him too.
The brewing hatred in Kanao makes her express great pleasure in seeing that she succeeded in denying her past while Douma still lives in that bubble. Her words spit venom because she can relate to him. Can't feel happiness, can't feel sadness. While he can't, she couldn't.
The difference between them relies on their choices and she feels such immense delight in a moment of spite to know that what she chose has become her strength. She made the choice to change, even in slow progress, but she finds the will to live instead only to survive.
It's such a brilliant choice to have Kanao battles against Douma, from the fact that the people around them are connected to that their pasts are almost the same.
Kimetsu Academy sillies
It's so funny to me that to the people whose Tanjirou isn't able to befriend much, they somehow get closer to those dear to him.
Like with Sanemi and Nezuko, or Ume/Daki befriends Kanao (Gakuen).
He can't influence the Tanjirou's effect on them so he passes it to his sister and gf.
I kinda wish the Hashira Training arc was longer, so I have an idea to be put during this arc so:
Tanjirou returning back to his hometown and house in request of Oyakata to find clues about Nezuko's resistance against the sun.
With Tamayo's note about Nezuko's growth and constant cells mutation, Tanjirou heads back to his home in hope that any clues he finds can help contribute to the corps. This small mission is also to ensure that any information could be taken and hidden first in case Muzan ever returns back to the Kamado's residence for clues as well.
Tanjirou is accompanied by Kanao and Giyuu. Kanao is there with some information of plants and herbs that may be helpful, and also to be Shinobu's second eyes since the Insect Hashira isn't able to tag along. Giyuu provides extra protection, again, in case Muzan sends any demons there despite the lack of demonic activities.
The young Kamado relishes the experience of returning back to his hometown, and the residents are more than happy to welcome home back with smiles and teary eyes. Although there's a bit of a misunderstanding upon seeing Giyuu, who was once suspected to be the suspect of the Kamado's family death.
The trio arrive at Kamado's residence, and they pay respects and prayers to the graves first before looking around.
Tanjirou has some nostalgic moments as he gazes upon his home, his heart swells with pain. Some tankana bonding moments of Kanao asking about how his life was and her smiling wistfully at the thought of such a warm family. The young slayers get even more determined to defeat demons.
They find nothing in the house but Giyuu spots wilting horsetail weed around the area. Kanao inspects in and takes note of the subtle differences in the petals, the colours, the stems, etc etc. She collects some samples to be taken back. The trio do more inspections but find nothing. They leave before nightfall, advising the town people to stay away from the mountain area in case Muzan gets there or anything.
On the way back, Tanjirou tells stories of his childhood memories. One in particular about the time his mother made him and Nezuko a soup when they were sick.
Kanao returns to the Butterfly estate and sets the plants in small pots, stationing them in Shinobu's office, before returning to training.
Shinobu, workaholics and couldn't count the last time she took a proper sleep, is about to inspect the plants according to Kanao's report. The sun is peeking barely behind the mountains, the day is bright,
and in the pots are blooming blue Spider Lilies.
KNY Horror movie AU lists:
1. The Ethereal Cult
(Featuring Inosuke, Kanao, Shinobu, Kanae, Kotoha and Douma.)
Inosuke and Kanao venture into a small village in search for their friend Shinobu, only to find themselves deep in trouble with the local cult where the leader may or may not practice cannibalism.
2. Split
(Featuring Tanjirou, Nezuko, Genya, Mitsuri and Hantengu clones.)
During a school trip, a group of high schoolers and their teacher are forced to take cover from the storm in a small inn belonging to a man named Hantengu. As the storm drags on for days, so does their stay in the inn. Terrifying things begin to unfold when they discover that the man is a serial killer.
3. Unseen Scales
(Featuring Muichiro, Yuichiro, Kotetsu, Haganezuka and Gyokko.)
People keep disappearing and after his twin brother is amongst the missing ones, Muichiro is set to uncover the truth. The only clues or patterns he recognized from the cases are the fact that the victims often went missing near the river, always during the night market.
Kanao's hands keep shaking, her fingers repeatedly fail to keep a tight grasp upon the hairpin. She manages to catch the butterfly ornament quick before it hits the ground.
She tries again. Hair strands fisting around the side of her head, the clip is supposed to be slides in -- and she drops it again.
If she could've sob, she probably would have.
A bigger, more calloused and scarred hand catches the pin for her. Kanao watches the Wind Hashira switch glances from her to the ornament before he makes a signal for her to turn around.
She doesn't find it in her voice to apologize for the trouble, opting only to turn around and let him tie up her hair. She feels her breath hitches just slightly at the way he handles the strands of her hair, moving every last one until he finally clips on the Butterfly ornament by the side of Kanao's head.
Kanae had always said that the Wind Hashira is a rather gentle soul.
" Break's over. " He gruffs, his hand moves to rest on the hilt of his sword. " The sun is setting and we've got a demon to kill. "
She knows his gaze lingers on the green and pink butterfly pin on the side of her head.
Everyone grieves in their own way anyway.
This looks so good??? Omg I love the l circling is a sword guard and I love the reflection transition of Tanjirou and Kanae💕💕 and the lyrics fit them very well good God I love this 😭💖💖 you've done a very good job 👍👏👏 Nostalgic at the MLP song 🥹🥹

Losing my mind at kny season 4 episode 2 cause I just see the same situations between Tanjirou/Giyuu and Kanao/Shinobu's interactions.
Big siblings figure with their little siblings moment >>>>
Giyuu thinking he's rather off dead and Tanjirou managed to successfully help him realise that his life is worth it,
and Shinobu about to tell Kanao of her suicidal plan with Kanao unable to convince her otherwise.
Two Hashiras; one overwhelmed with survivor guilt and another stop caring about anything else but revenge.
One realises he needs to live because that's what his late sister and Sabito would've wanted, and another ignores her late sister's will to keep on living and decides to soothe her anger by avenging the late sister.
Also I love how Giyuu asked about Shinobu's training, seeing that he doesn't 'hear' anything from her; implying that, possibly, in times he went to shut himself off like this, she would've written to him about what's going on and keeps in touch with him.
Oh my god he doesn't know about her plan. This hits harder now :((
Off topic, but look at how beautiful they are;
Woah it's like a reverse role. Now that I added the pics side by side, I adore the switch between them -- like how we see another side of them.
It's a bit odd to see the usually cheerful Shinobu looking so serious, and the sombre looking Giyuu seems relaxed now, isn't it?
Went through some stuff and found my old sketch books in my teenage years. Have some KNY snippets.
More merpeople AU
Random doodles I sketched in class today
Saw this in the Pinterest and I was like 'hey this would fit with Kanao'
Continuation of the one with Kuina (I am working on the Haganezuka comic)
A 'What-If' situation where Kuina is the one monitoring the Final Selection with Kiriya instead of Kanata.
Based on:
We have Shinobu with 2003 turtles, Kanae with 2014/2016 turtles, now I present you Kanao with 2012 turtles
Power couple
I actually wanted to draw them crying and holding each other as they hold their own sentimental items in their hands ( Kanao holding Shinobu's hairpin and Tanjirou holding Kyojuro's sword handguard ) but maybe that's for another day :D

An AU where Tanjirou is the demon and Nezuko is the slayer. In my version, Tanjirou and Nezuko went down the mountain together to sell charcoals and handmade herb medicine that the Kamado family began to produce for a while. Tanjirou had sold all of his charcoals so Nezuko told him to return home first while she went to finish her items. Reluctantly, her older brother did so. Now it was already late, and Nezuko had to crash in Saburo's house for the night.
You guys know the drill; she came home to find only Tanjirou alive and had to drag him down to the town when he transformed into a demon. The Kamado siblings then found themselves facing a slayer goes by the name 𝘚𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘰.
Later on, after being given the chance to prove Tanjirou being a good demon, Nezuko set off on an adventure to find cure for her brother.
Kanao and Kaigaku become Nezuko's friends and they became life time trio
Tanjirou grown attached to Kanao, making the young girl rather flustered at such doting
Nezuko possesses very strong kicks! Her first fight with Kaigaku was resolved with her slamming her foot up to his body part where the sun does not rise.
Kaigaku might not be able to have children, rip.
Tanjirou's Blood Demon Art is Fire Manipulation. He can breath fire and heal people too. His berserk form has a horn pops out of his left part of the forehead where his scar is, and there are flame marks on his body.
Hakuji stabbed Tanjirou to see if the demon would attack him -- never happened.
Muichiro and Yuichiro are alive as the youngest kakushi, Mui being a kind but quiet twin while Yuichiro is the loud but anxious one.
The twin have potential to even become Hashiras but Yui keep refusing, only becoming Kakushi because feels indebted to Mitchikatsu who saved them before.
Muichiro wants to become a slayer but doesn't have the courage to say it to his twin.
" Follow your heart! " Nezuko said to Muichiro, resulting the boy to fall for her.
Tanjirou once headbutt Yuichiro for his foul language and harsh treatment to Nezuko
Muzan is still an asshole but he's a tsundere that secretly worries for his slayers
Kagaya is also still gentle and soft spoken but he's very manipulative to his Uppermoons
Giyuu is dead lol, he was the ghost boy that helped Nezuko trained
Sabito and Makomo are both Water Hashiras
Gyomei is Uppermoon One, but there's an Uppermoon Zero, which is Yoriichi.
Yoriichi looks like a porcelain doll with 3 pair of arms.
I might do some changing, but these are what I could come up with so far.
The audio has been stuck on my head so here's some kny angst
Remembering how Inosuke figured out Shinobu's death simply by looking at Kanao's expression made me think that he is more observant than I thought he is.
Can we talk about Inosuke probably can read body language like an expert because let's face it, living in the wild needs you to know the language of the animals' reaction so you could ensure your safety. And I wonder how much time he has spent with Kanao at the Butterfly estate before the infinity castle arc, since he seems to be able to grasp on Kanao's body language and expression so quick.
( angst aside, if this headcanon is true, then he knows some of his braven action creeps others out and he just straight up ignore them )
The Cat Returns AU because I love that movie
I just enter university this week, hopefully I can adapt well! 🌸
Extra :
They be slaying demon's self esteem
Let us not forget that how Muichiro and Kanao literally roasted Gyokko and Douma and did not give a sheet about it.
They bringing the demons' self esteem down if they work together as a duo
Douma : Oh! I knew it! You all really do love me! Even to the point you made a fanclub of me! 🥰🥰😘😘🤩🤩
Akaza, Shinobu, Kanao & Inosuke, holding a sign of ' Douma Hate Club, requesting more members ' : * Make a deadpan expression *
Kanao redraw🌸
Redraw from a couple months ago✨
Finally drew her! Uvu
So apparently I started all over because of how I messed up a lot on the last one. Qvq
