mainly manga + headcanon based, not spoiler free. caught up on anime and movie spoilers will be tagged at least for a month or two after release per movie.

i usually just say i’m selective and private, but i’m not super strict about it and it’s more of a just in case thing. i do prefer being mutuals only, however, for my own comfort. generally speaking, the only times i typically don't follow someone back is if there's no kny verse/a muse to a media i'm too unfamiliar with. if i follow someone, i hope to write with them. however, due to past experiences, i'm also liable to unfollow blogs based on rules below--or general incompatibility. i keep my dash to people i enjoy writing with, and only those. i am very liberal with my unfollowing and blocking due to past experiences that involved me not being as strict with boundaries as i should have been from the beginning.

i won't be following blogs that use ai, whether for writing or art.

i don't send in passwords, and if you make a "like this post to remain mutuals" announcement, i'm not going to like it. if someone wants to unfollow me, irregardless of previous interactions ic or ooc, simply because i didn't like a post that's effectively a metaphorical hostage situation, i don't see how we'll actually be mutuals for long anyway.

i'm usually most active and available for writing on wednesdays and thursdays--but i may lurk during the night the rest of the week and am most often available on discord when not actively at work. feel free to ask for my handle if we're mutuals.

i don't exactly practice affiliates in the usual way: my only affiliates are my partner's blogs. thus, unless otherwise stated, if a hc mentions one of the characters from @rabbitprose, it's with him in mind. likewise, i often use my muses on @collossvs to round out dynamics and headcanons for my koku and yorii.

due to past experiences, there's a handful of people i don't tolerate being around myself: if they come up i'll just remove myself from the situation.

if you've either softblocked or hardblocked baphy (rabbitprose), do the same to me. i'm always going to be in my boyfriend's corner, and there's nothing baphy has done that i wouldn't support and/or do myself--plus, every single verse includes baphy's muses playing a role, and i'm not willing to change that or adjust it for anyone. my bf and i are a team. where they go, i'm going too.

i love oc’s! as long as i see a kny verse (or they're a kny-based oc OR we're able to figure out ways to interact), i'm fully willing to write. it mainly just comes down to looking for ways to rp together.

usual no’s apply re: godmodding and meta-gaming and etc. just don’t be a dick and we’re gucci. likewise, don't reblog memes from me, interact with ic threads you aren't included in, or generally act like an ass.

triggering content and nsfw themes may occasionally be present–they’ll be tagged and cut accordingly. specifics are divided per blog, but as a whole is the general themes of violence/abuse/cannibalism/murder/etc. generally found in demon slayer. nsfw headcanons may be located occasionally and tagged, but no threads are written on tumblr. i tag things as "WORD ment /" or "WORD /", and if you need something tagged (or i forget to tag smth), pls lmk!!!

if you're uncertain if a thread is in my queue/lost/etc, you're welcome to ask--due to working full time, it can take me a bit to write, but sometimes my blogs may not show me notifications properly (particularly tsukkiakarii). if for whatever reason i'm not feeling something--or you aren't--there's no hard feelings and i'm always happy to start something else!

i’m fine with pre-established relationships or just winging things, with the exception of romantic relationships

due to exclusively shipping with @rabbitprose across all blogs, even if someone were to write as koku's ex-wife with me for example, or an akaza with my koyuki, etc., i still will not ship with them. we can explore other dynamics, but romance is off the table

likewise, i will not tolerate cheating or "past relationships" style dynamics

i also am not against writing off of duplicates of muses i'm shipping with baphy--i'm fine with exploring non-romantic dynamics with the character by another (i.e. exploring non-romantic dynamics with another dōma that isn't baphy's). however, when it comes to muses i've written the longest such as koku and yorii, i have a lot of very personal headcanons that have had instances of being taken by another or otherwise mocked, so while i'm not inherently against writing with duplicates of my muses--please forgive me if i seem a bit hesitant

most blog graphics are by @rabbitprose--for the few exceptions, i aim to include credit wherever the art is used

due to past experiences with personal blogs reblogging my hc posts, i'll ask that personals not follow me and i'll block on sight

i'm alright with turning asks into threads--if i have a lot of threads already I may take a while to get to them, but i'll always love it and you're welcome to ask to see if i'll be able to add another! i'm prone to doing this as well if I know the other mun is alright with it

i am not cis, and likewise, certain muses of mine are not cis either. i will demand that this be respected

over the years I've developed a world with my partner @rabbitprose and have inserted ningyō in this world, and thus he's also become pretty canon divergent! namely: he's alive and a demon. more on that on his blog and carrd

he'll only be shipped with @compassneedle. likewise, yoriiaka will be Very present on this blog: in each verse ningyō and baphy's akaza are together in some way, and i'll ask this be respected. this, of course, only applies to baphy's akaza. again, even if someone wrote as uta with me, i would not ship with them

my oc here is effectively the latest version of one i originally created way back in 2009, however i'm in the process of re-working them a bit to remove them from their original source material. as such, there may be some adjustments made to them as i experiment.

lilith and cain are, likewise, from a very obscure series that was left unfinished in the early 2000's as well. i'm going to work on giving more information regarding their series, but it will likewise take time.

whilst my kny muses are generally much more canon-compliant, i write them in context of the worldbuilding created with my partner @rabbitprose! as i write and develop them, they may just diverge further also

certain characters, such as my rendition of the rengoku ancestor or michi's wife, are effectively original characters despite their canon basis: thus, these characters may act in ways you don't expect

all muses are still subject to the rule of being exclusively shipped with @rabbitprose's muses--if they do not currently have a ship, assume i am not interested in shipping them with anyone but baphy's muses. thus, even if an akaza wrote with my koyuki, a dōma with my kotoha, etc--even now i still will not ship with them, and any dynamics will be non-romantic and non-sexual
