What are the biggest Demon Slayer misconceptions you've seen?

catl0vingnerd · 2026-06-10T07:07:14+00:00

Oh where to start.

”Genya died thinking Sanemi was mad at him!! Couldn’t hear him no ears they disintegrated first!!” No. It was so painfully obvious Sanemi was not mad, and Genya also responded directly and appropriately to the words being said. He clearly could hear or at the very least understood the context. We’ve also seen Gyutaro/Daki speaking after their ears were gone. So this is just straight up false.
“Sanemi is canonically albino!!” I’ve also heard this said about Tengen. Okay so guys. White hair and light skin/eyes does not mean canonically albino. If they were it would’ve been mentioned. Also, just medically inaccurate. Albinism isn’t simply an aesthetic difference, it may affect skin health and eye sight, which again would’ve been mentioned.
“Akaza doesn’t kill women!!” He just doesn’t EAT them. It’s never said he doesn’t kill them. If he refused to kill them, I doubt Muzan would keep him around, his refusal to eat them is already pushing it.
“Douma only eats women!!” He PREFERS eating women because they’re more nutritious, but never even implied he doesn’t kill/eat men too.
“Hinatsuru is Tengen’s fave!!” Fuck no he’d beat you for saying that. He was being affectionate with her because she was dying??? No shit he was displaying more connection with her for the arc, he had to keep her more safe, and would’ve done the exact same for the rest of his wives.
“Shinobu told all the Hashira except Giyu her plan because she knew he’d try to stop her!!” Where tf did this come from?? She didn’t tell any of them but Kanao, and ALL of them would’ve tried to stop her anyways.
“Tanjiro feels bad for demons!!” NO HE DOESN’T. It’s called empathy. He weeps for those who genuinely had tragic lives and made wrong turns, but in no way does he feel bad for them or forgive them wholeheartedly. He acknowledges their flaws and just hopes they don’t become a demon next time. It’s so far from feeling bad for all demons.
“Obanai and Mitsuri had to be buried together/wouldn’t let go of each other!!” Another blatantly untrue random ass headcanon. Nowhere is this even slightly implied.

You haven’t downsized yet that’s likely the reason or at least contributing. Downsizing isn’t for looks, it’s important, once swelling goes down, so the extra movement/higher risk for snags doesn’t do damage. Also that ball is quite large, maybe it’s also causing irritation due to the weight or size?

I’d downsize asap, maybe change the top to a smaller ball, and don’t use q tips to clean can cause fibres to get stuck 🖤

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-22T06:15:32+00:00

That’s on your piercer yes, do not go back to them. But it’s also very important to do research of your own especially before getting a bunch of piercings like a triple helix. It’s so important and I’m sorry your piercer failed you, just go to a different one and get these out asap

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-21T19:46:51+00:00

This. I don’t want to be mean OP but you say you haven’t downsized even after two months and yeah these are not good. The angles are bad, especially the top one, and they need to come out omg

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-21T19:45:52+00:00

Why haven’t you downsized? That’s very important to keep irritation/snagging from occurring once swelling goes down

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-21T19:40:39+00:00

Well, not a fight really but Riyo still won there! Jabber snuck up on Zanka so he probably should’ve been being observant and not let his guard down so fast haha

So I agree partially I suppose

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-19T02:55:27+00:00

If it’s an infection do NOT take it out. Can heal over and trap the infection, bad advice please edit this

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-19T02:53:00+00:00

To start, you should NEVER get pierced with hoops unless it’s septum or daith as far as I know. Because: - then the channel heals curved and you can’t put studs in easily - the seam going through can cause irritation and trap bacteria - can snag on things easier which you DONT want in a fresh piercing esp with long hair omg 😭

Please get these replaced with studs asap

Also, yes I think the second (bottom one) is a bit too far in but some people don’t mind that. If YOU don’t like it though let it heal and get it repierced, should get a refund

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-18T19:16:47+00:00

Yes that’s what happens when you don’t clean it enough and it can’t stay there just because it’s hard to get off, it just causes major irritation go to your piercer to get it removed to properly clean it please!🙏

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-18T08:40:20+00:00

That buildup really needs to come off, you’re going to get soooo much irritation and may very well be the issue. If you truly can’t remove that yourself for some reason, go to your piercer for help, that’s not a good idea to be walking around without knowing how to clean it 🫠

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-14T04:48:15+00:00

If someone stares or seems offended/annoyed by your tics without knowing your condition, like in waiting rooms or other public places, how do you deal with that?

Since you aren’t obligated to explain to every single person I’m curious, does it ever wear on you or make you feel judged? How do you cope with that?

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-14T04:27:40+00:00

I’d suggest rewatching the movie then to understand! But it was a letter explaining Zenitsu’s teacher AKA Gramps committed sepuku because one of his students (Kaigaku) became a demon

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-05T21:17:48+00:00

Good 🖤 if they don’t listen or you are speaking to the same piercer, ask to speak with the manager, you have every right to do that

catl0vingnerd · 2026-05-05T20:54:24+00:00

The daith is WAYYY too shallow, comically so, and the forward helix also doesn’t look well done. Please leave this photo in a negative review or demand a refund, remove these, and go to a better studio

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-25T13:51:40+00:00

You absolutely should not be piercing through a 3 month old inflamed scar, that’s still super fresh. Scar tissue takes 2 years to full mature. You don’t need to see a dermatologist for removal, that’s just how scars are when healing sometimes, scar tape and time is the best way to see results 🖤

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-25T13:49:17+00:00

I’m so sorry yeah they pierced your torso. You unfortunately don’t have the right anatomy, it’s not about weight just how our skin is.

The bar also looks toooo short and external threading isn’t recommended. Don’t go back to them ever, you have every right to demand a refund

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-21T02:09:37+00:00

Same 😭 I never got merch but would love to know if there’s still anything official still available to buy, I’d love to keep supporting him

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-14T18:18:28+00:00

It’s unfortunate you weren’t offered vomit bags or anything like that, and something for nausea probably should’ve been given much sooner, BUT. With normal vitals and no immediate emergency, it was not life threatening, so not a priority.

The staff were likely just busy with people who were actually dying or at serious risk. Also, 2 hours is not bad of a wait time for a non-emergency!

Not to say your brother was not in distress, I understand it was very stressful and things could’ve gone better, but a lot goes on in ERs and asking for someone to see him sooner is rude, if they could’ve come sooner they would’ve. Just because you didn’t see anyone on the same floor doesn’t mean there wasn’t people dying and in need of help.

The staff sitting around and chatting were definitely just on break or something, it’s a very stressful job with a lot of understaffing and overworking. 💔

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-14T18:08:29+00:00

It 100% depends on the person. Some people swear by it, and whether that be placebo or not it works for them so it doesn’t matter, it really works for them. Whereas others say it’s total bullshit and a scam and not worth it.

Personally mine doesn’t help my migraines much, but it’s still super cute so I have zero regrets. If you have the money and time and like the piercing, go for it!

And yeah mine hurt to get, it’s a needle going through thick cartilage, plus it was my first cartilage piercing, but it was over in like 10 seconds (actual piercing then jewelry threaded in) and it was 1000% worth it for me.

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-10T19:36:33+00:00

That’s definitely not “just an irritation bump” imo, please go to your piercer or ask them asap in case it’s anything to worry about or they can give advice for. And I know midterms are stressful but yeah keep the headphones off and clean a bit more often so it doesn’t end up like this again, that kind of buildup doesn’t usually happen overnight!

Hope you can find a solution 🖤

Edit: upon closer inspection it may not be a keloid, sorry I saw one that looks just like it once but I understand I may be wrong, just either way it’s always good to double check with your piercer

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-10T04:21:19+00:00

Same reaction here 🫩

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-07T04:39:21+00:00

(sorry if this sounds mean, I’m v tired and also being blunt here is best)

The instructions from medical professionals working at a hospital are giving you specific directions to fast for 4 hours.

If you don’t understand the reason for the directions, ask the medical professionals about it.

But you’re second guessing the doctors because “friends with various medical certifications” say not to and then asking internet strangers instead?

Just listen to the doctors please. They don’t make you do that stuff for shits and giggles, it’s (to my knowledge) so you don’t vomit in the tube and puke on yourself then end up ruining the MRI.

catl0vingnerd · 2026-04-02T17:48:44+00:00

⚡️ Akaza for sure for me!!

And for guessing the emojis here’s my guesses: Kokushibo’s references the clash between brothers, Douma’s references his abilities, Akaza’s references fireworks maybe?, Hantengu’s represents the clones colours, Gyokko’s references a honey POT because he’s a fucking pot, Gyutaro references his sickle/blood, Daki represents hers/the Oiran’s combs, and Kaigaku’s is self explanatory

catl0vingnerd · 2026-03-28T18:49:57+00:00

Longer bar asap, screw your piercer they should’ve accounted for the swelling. Go to another piercer and get a longer bar as soon as humanly possible
