Kamaboko Squad - Tumblr Posts
Demon Slayer AU where everything is the same except Yoriichi is a ghost.
He’s corporal/people can see him, he can change his appearance from when he was a kid to when he was old.
He follows Tanjiro around. They met sometime before the Hashira Training Arc for sure, but how early depends on what the writer decides. Has he been there since pre-canon? Or did he show up after the Entertainment District Arc (would honestly make most sense since Tanjiro didn’t know about Sun Breathing until after Mugen Train, but again this is an AU).
He meets Muichiro, and after it clicks that he’s Michikatsu’s descendant Yoriichi follows him around too, eager to be close with the family he could never have.
Depending on when they met, Yoriichi could help Muichiro recover is missing memories earlier than in canon.
Other things about/to include in the AU:
Kamaboko Squad centric (Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu, Kanao, Genya, AND Aoi and Senjuro)
each member gets a one-on-one interaction with him at some point, which will add to their own personal character growth
Whether or not Yoriichi can physically interact with others is up to the writer
making him able to fight demons seems kinda OP, so unless the writer can find a way to make it make sense about how he can maybe don’t do that
maybe he can exude enough strength to stun demons, but not fully kill them
can he pick things up, or do they just pass through him?
He helps train Tanjiro, making him more proficient in Sun Breathing
this can give Tanjiro more time to hone is Water Breathing. It always irked me that Tanjiro didn’t practice Water Breathing as much when he discovered Sun Breathing (don’t quote me on that, I get my info from TikToks and reaction videos. But why learn two breathing styles and not increase your skill in both?)
this can allow a Giyuu training session in the Hashira Training Arc that we didn’t get to see
Expanding on Yoriichi changing his age: I feel like the older he presents himself, the more power he would have. So when he’s fighting, he’s somewhere between his 20s and 80s. However, because this takes up a lot of energy, when he’s not fighting he’s typically in the form of himself as a child or in his teens
whether or not his mentality/maturity is affected when he’s at different ages is up to the writer so long as it’s not portrayed in an erotic/kinky way
Yoriichi can give tips to the Hashiras that those in the Sengoku Era used (information always has the potential to be forgotten, so maybe there were some tricks that were forgotten about?)
can provide more information about Muzan and his weaknesses, since he was the only swordsman who came close to killing the Demon King
Interactions with Lady Tamayo and Yushiro!
Fluffy moments! Slice of Life, Found Family, all the tropes! Let him be the father to the Kamaboko Squad that they never had/lost (let him have the chance to be the father he never got to be)
Lots of interactions with Genya (is my favoritism showing?)
bonding over being the younger brother
bonding over their endless love for their older brothers
bonding over their older brothers who do so much to hurt them, but they just can’t stop admiring them
Let Yoriichi give Sanemi a talking to
yes, I understand why Sanemi acted towards Genya the way he did. He wanted to protect him, keep him out of danger. However. Good intentions DO NOT give you a free pass on bad actions.
the way that Sanemi treated Genya was cruel and frankly unacceptable; he could’ve gone about it in a much more mature manner
Interactions with Giyuu and Yoriichi!!
mostly bc Giyuu is my fav Hashira, but I notice a lot of similarities between them
Maybe Yoriichi can provide information about Kokushibo/Uppermoon 1?
Yoriichi has the flute that Michikatsu gave him with him in his ghost form
Additional weaknesses up to the writer (this goes for powers too)
Kamaboko Squad showing Yoriichi present-day things
A mix of fluff, angst, etc.
rating is up to the author
ANY SHIP is welcome so long as it is:
legal
not a pro-ship
treated respectfully/with some level of understanding
^^continuing from this, it doesn’t matter if you include SaneKane, SaneGiyuu, ShinoGiyuu, ShinoMitsu, SaneMitsu, ObaGiyuu, UzuRen, or any other pairing, polyamorous included. It doesn’t matter if there’s no ships at all. Everyone has there own preferences, and it’s up to both the reader and the writer to be respectful about it
This is all I’ve come up with for now! I’ll most likely come back and add more at some point, but if you have any ideas or suggestions let me know too!
If you end up using this idea, credit me with my Tumblr, and if you want to as well my AO3 which can be found in my profile :)

What it's like dating them
Kamaboko squad edition (genya and kanao)
Tanjiro
Sweetest boy ever!
He does his best to make you happy even though he doesn't need to try so hard
I feel since you guys can't always be alone together he deeply cherish the time you spend with him
Even if its a simple hand hold or a kiss on a cheek
He will totally be there when you need his comfort
Hes like a big teddy bear
But i feel like with all the stress hes under, you will become his comfort character as well
It might take you a while to get him to open up, its not like he doesn't trust you more like he doesn’t want to be a burden
So be patient with him and he will slowly open up to you
He loves cuddles he finds them like a source of comfort
I feel like since he cant be with you all the time you guys will exchange letters
I feel hes very easily flustered especially if your the flirty type
His love language is quality time Receiving and giving
Overall very gentle and very loving relationship
Inosuke
Please be very very patient with him hes new to this whole thing
I feel like hes the type to be extremely protective of you
He'll always have to be touching you and not in like a perverted way, he just likes the feeling of your touch
Even something simple like pinkies interlocking
I feel there a sorta child like innocent to your relationship
Since he doesn't know much he gets super confused by things like kissing and hugging
The first time you guys kissed it was a kiss on the cheek and he was super confused and flustered
Just tell him it makes it stronger and he gets addicted to them
At first it was because he actually believed it made him stronger and now he just really enjoys your kisses
I feel he would give you random gifts
And these include acorns, cherry blossoms, leaves, and rocks
Basically whatever he finds on missions
I feel his love language is gift giving and acts of service for receiving
Overall sweet and child like relationships
Zenitsu
Where do i begin
He is very touched starved and has like zero confidence
You need to give him constant reassurance that you love him and that you'll never leave him
Hes very clingy and whiny
He had a hard time believing that you were actually serious on dating him
He loves you too bits and make sure to tell you and show you that everyday
No matter how long you guys are together he will always get flustered by you
I feel like when he doesn't want to go on missions you'll give him a kiss of confidence
He will bend over backwards to make you happy its almost kinda scary
He will also give you small gifts mostly flower like cherry blossom and tiger lilies
He will mostly likely brag to the other (inosuke and tanjiro) thats hes in a relationship with you
It so bad inosuke had to literally shut him up
His love language is quality time giving and words of affirmation receiving
Overall super sweet and lovely dovey relationship
Nezuko
Shes super sweet
She will show her love through small things like head patts or nose boops
She loves cuddling
She loves when you give her piggyback rides
She also loves it when you can hum her a lullaby before she sleeps
When shes tired she will lay her head on your lap
She loves it when you run your fingers through her hair
She really enjoys when you style her hair or just flat out play with it
When shes in her small form she likes to curl up in your lay
Flat out just super sweet and cuddlely
If your ever sad she can tell and will do everything she can to make you feel better
Love language quality time both ways
Overall cute and wholesome relationship
Genya
Will act all tough and scary but when you get really close to him hes like a cuddly bear
Is afraid youll think less of him if he doesn't keep up the rough and tough behavior
You will definitely need to gently break down his walls
Hes a absolute sweetheart
He will get super flustered over the simplest of touches
i feel is also little bit touch starved and will crave your touch
But hes a flustered mess when you guys kiss or even cuddle
Is not a big fan of pda and prefers to do it when you guys are alone
If anything his limits it hand holding yet hes still a flustered mess
Is very protective of you
Totally gives scary dog privileges
Is very protective of you
Will fight anyone hands down for you if they so much as look at you the wrong way
His love language is acts of service for giving and quality time receiving
Overall very Fluffy ans cute relationship
Kanao
She may be quite but she deeply loves you
She has never felt this kind of love so she really does try her best
She loves spending time with you
She doesn't mind how you guys spend your time together
You might spend time with her when you guys are helping aoi at the butterfly mansion
She is really shy so be patient
I feel she has a hard time showing affection
She really likes to hold your hand
She find it comforting
If she feels upset she will instantly try to grab your hand
She not really clingy but she loves to be near you
I feel she worries about you a lot for you
She might have you do monthly check-ups
She just doesn't want to lose you
She is a great listener
She will remember almost everything you say even the small things
She deeply enjoys when you talk
She could listen to you talk for hours
She thinks your voice is relaxing
I feel like she doesn't say that she wants affection more like kinda hints at it
She might stay a little closer to you or try to touch your hand more often
Her love language is quality time both ways
Overall so sweet and just so cute relationship
Are guys excited!!!!????
Tanjiro, about Y/N: Apparently we’re getting someone new in the group.
Inosuke: Are we stealing them?
Zenitsu: New or used?
Tanjiro: Wonderful responses, both of you.
Tanjirou: I'd place you in the garden in the Butterfly Mansion under the flowers.
Inosuke: You're already a worm.
I drew the band kids from Kimetsu Gakuen feat. Uzui being a proud sensei.
Loved seeing them have their spotlight in the finale of this spin off! Kimetsu Gakuen was such a huge comfort to me so I’m glad I was able to do draw all this.
Kyojuro if he would have survived
they share two braincells. zenitsu doesn't have it right now. not that the braincells are useful enough to actually make a change in the first place
how it started >> how it ended 😂
Tengen and the damn kids he adopted
we were denied of a kny beach episode 😔😞 /hj
I would've wanted to see the kamaboko squad having a contest on who can build the best sand castle (rip everyone but kanao and genya made the best ones) inosuke's is just literally a huge pile of sand and some sticks he found but he's so proud of it that they awarded him first place bc it's the right thing to do. Mui is the judge, let him be a silly child who sasses everyone's works but tanjirou's
mitsuri, obanai, rengoku and tengen having a beach soccer tournament; shinobu, aoi and the butterfly mansion girlies are the ones who keeps track of the scores (and is there mainly to make sure nobody dies of stupidity)
gyomei literally has hoards of cats under his clothes but nobody says a thing because he's having fun and that's what matters
giyuu chilling on a corner until sanemi pulls on his hand while saying, "stop bumming everyone out and have fun with us" so they join the soccer tournament for fun and it gets intense that they all break the poor ball
then everyone jumps in to swim
suddenly, tengen's three wives, makio, suma and hinatsuru arrive to serve more food to everyone
gotou and murata are there too, focused on grilling fish and meat while both take interest on the sweets
okay you know what, let's include the moons but at night time
akaza will bury douma on the sand, with only his head visible and douma is happy to finally get noticed by akaza, not knowing akaza intended for him to be there until morning because of the absurd amounts of stones keeping him there. hantengu even asks him if he's fine there and douma is just chilling and happy. It took all of akaza's resistance to not kick douma's head off multiple times
gyokko gathering seashells and making an insane "art" that's too terrible that daki would've insulted it if gyutaro didn't stop her from letting her destructive intrusive thoughts win over the hierarchy
nakime is chilling far away from them and is wishing to not be associated with any of them. like at all.
kaigaku is underwater probably cursing zenitsu or sth
kokushibou is ignored by everyone and sees everything unfold, mumbling, "I see..." And then proceeds to bury himself in the sand with only his six eyes visible on the ground.
muzan curses in a different language when he realized he almost stepped on kokushibou's three pairs of eyes
Also did the Kamaboko Squad
I put Demon Slayer names into an AI picture generator...
*internal screaming* also please ignore the typo in the last one-
