Easter, 420, And Most Importantly, Katsuki Bakugo’s Birthday

Do you believe an argument could be made that after Sanemi “actually” died, he still decided to go to hell for his mom? Or would that not make sense for his arc. For how selfless of a person he is, even after what happened, he’d still go to hell for his mom since she is with their dad or no?

Thank you so much for the ask!! This is a great question!

So, to me, the way Sanemi phrases it makes it sound like he plans to walk his mother to hell and stay for her punishment before returning to his siblings' sides. I think he just didn't want her to be alone but he had no intention of completely leaving behind his siblings and the reason I believe that is this one single panel:

"Besides, if I went there too soon, Genya would be sad."

It sounds to me that Sanemi does intend to be with Genya and the others, just not yet. First, he wants to take care of his mother since she seems to be stuck in some kind of purgatory where she longingly watches her children in shame.

This brings me to a theory: Shizu had the option of going to heaven, similar to Ume, but she chose to go to hell out of shame and guilt for harming her children. Sanemi, accepting her feelings, was willing to guide her there on his back, to be there for her punishment until she was "ready."

As for whether this makes sense for his arc... Sanemi is one of the most self-sacrificial characters in KNY, something I will discuss when I do a dedicated analysis for him (like I did for Genya's birthday, but since I missed Sanemi's birthday...)

It makes perfect sense for the character willing to put literally everything on the line for his baby brother to also sacrifice his very soul for his family.

So, yes, if he were to find Shizu still in that purgatory-like state after he dies, I fully believe he would still carry Shizu on his back to hell.

Thank you again for the ask!

Daemon Targaryen's Love Has Two Sides

-The first is unyielding and screams of destruction. What lords he would unseat, what atrocities he would commit, what worlds he would tear down with his bare hands just to see her smile.

-What wars he would start, and relish in the anguish of her enemies. Hand always resting on the hilt of Dark Sister or some other slender, deadly blade, he is ready at all moments to defend her. To protect her to his last breath. In fact, there is a part of him that yearns for the chance.

-This love is not kind, nor gentle, but she would be lying if she said she did not crave it. The possessiveness of his touch, the frenzied passion of his embrace, and the darkness...such beautiful darkness lurking in the fire burning behind his eyes.

-The second, such a stark contrast from the first, is soft and quiet, and never fails to surprise her in its tenderness. He takes her hand in his in a gesture of comfort and warmth before bringing it to his lips. There is not a single inch of her he has not kissed a thousand times over.

-Unlike the first, these kisses do not claim her. They are an act of reverence. Devotion to his greatest love, whose soul is so deeply entwined with his own he cannot be sure where hers ends and his begins. But he is not whole without her, of this he is certain.

-This love is rarer, admittedly, but it is that very fact that makes it so unbearably beautiful. It tastes of honey and spring, and yet, so too is it reminiscent of the crisp autumn air and a soothing mulled wine. It is running through the streets of King's Landing after dark, giggling in the shadows. It is the way he slowly undresses her, gazing into her eyes with awe.

-It is his hand on her swollen belly, and the unspoken promises of how he will care for their child.

-A little spark returns. The darkness of the first love, the unrelenting desire to protect his loved ones at all costs. The pleasure he will take in the suffering of those would bring them harm. It is a blazing love, one that consumes and threatens to end all things.

-But what a glorious ending it would be.
