Temples on the high street: Kyôto Teramachi and Shinkyôgoku

A typical Japanese covered high street, right? Yes, there are lots of shops left and right, but this is Kyôto, a millennial capital and centre of cultural and religious tradition in Japan. So what happens when a modern high street encounters a centuries-old temple, bearing in mind that it would be very bad form to ask the priests to sell up?

Well you leave the temple alone and build around it. So, in between the big name drugstores, Animate, clothes shops and cafés lined with the street's signature bricks and tile floor, here's the entrance to Seishin-in, with traditional wooden doors and tile roofing. It is also just visible in the first picture - see if you can notice it.

Seigan-ji is easier to spot, further illustrating the contrast. Online maps show that this temple even has a cemetery in the middle of the next block, completely encircled by shopping streets and businesses.

It's a similar situation for Tenshô-ji, though, this far up the high street, the commercial tissue becomes less dense. These temples seem a bit larger and own more land. Still, we've gone from a towering, mineral, covered street in the top photo, to an open path with low buildings and plenty of vegetation, with no transition.

These scenes of coexistence fascinated me when I first visited Kyôto in 2016, with a hotel in this area, so it was great to see them again on my brief return to the city in 2023. More fascinating still is the fact that one of these "just off the high street" temples is not only very old, but hugely historically significant... and I'm yet to mention it!

It's been a while but I made some BubbleLock art (a ship name I came up with lmaooo) and I once again used my redesign of Minkie Pie (but with an updated cutiemark)

I love how in the series they behave like a couple and I honestly ship them, both Minkie and Derpy :) My redesign of Minkie Pie is asexual and a lesbian (bc screw Reitanna for hating lesbians) while Derpy Hooves is Asexual and Pansexual.

Minkie's new cutiemark is a lock with a heartshape key in it surrounded by yellow buttercups and I made Derpy Hooves kidcore themed giving her colorful bandaids that covered her scratches and wounds from bumping into things when flying, her cutiemark is rainbow bubbles, her mane is messy since she rarely brushes it (Just like me.. in some cases) and she wears a little chew necklace since (like me) she stims by chewing.

Anyways, BubbleLock or Minkerpy (or idk, Derpinkie?) is my comfort ship <3 !!!

Silly redesign of Minkie pie cause i like her and wish she was written better as a character instead of just being a self projection of the creator's own issues :3

[sprinkleonthatcriticism]

So I found this post on Twitter and I couldn't help but think about two artists

Vivziepop who drew N that one time, it's sad because I do like the drawing and how she made N look cute here but I obviously cannot like Vivzie because of the fact that she is indeed a horrible person and overall disgusting

If ya want to know what she did, check out Vivziepop Receipts thread

And then ofc, we have Reitanna Seishin who did this adorable vector of Derpy Hooves wearing a bubbles dress 🫧

And yes, that Reitanna seishin, the same woman who created Muffins/Muffins Side Story. CW// CSA mention, Pedophilla

Despite her being really good at vectoring mlp stuff in some cases to the point that it looks exactly like something that could be in the show.. she sadly isn't a great person either, while Vivziepop had drew art of a naked minor in a tub of snakes (zoophilla porn) and such.. Reitanna had dated a 14 yr old child when she was 18 (and allegedly, according to Issac in one of his youtube community posts and the now adult victim, Rei had SA'd him when he was 14), Wrote a story about a baby with an addiction to sex, wrote fanfics about underaged teens getting it on and a lot more. If you do wanna know about Reitanna Seishin, then watch Issac-bloomz' video on her

I already said this a while back but I'm PROUDLY to say it again, bad people don't deserve to have good talent and that includes proshitters, zoophiles, pedophiles and such.. they do not deserve to be good at anything.

A Kimono for Seija

This was my entry for @gensokyozine! Though Shinmyoumaru and Reimu worked hard, Seija would never admit that their efforts were worth it.
