Mushishi week, day 6! Footsteps / Hidden

Currently I'm incredibly nostalgic for my time in Kawaguchiko last year, so for this prompt I drew Tanyuu walking up mount Haneko.

I made a pencil sketch (below the cut) that I wanted to colour digitally like the other Mushishi week drawings, but I'm not great at drawing landscapes like this digitally, so I put her in the picture I took when I walked up mount Haneko :')

It's got such a good view of mount Fuji ughhh I wish I was there..

Day 2: Favourite side character

[daftpatience]

i wanna show off the mushi-shi stuff i've got coming to my shop!! two ginko standees and a karibusa tanyuu notepad ♥

preorders for these are probably gonna be in september along with a bunch of other stuff!

[hiendar]

SO I forgot to take my pill and had a dream and now there's this idea I have - Time has passed, and a realization hit

Ginko asking Tanyuu for a means to kill himself

BECAUSE he knows for sure now he's part mushi and it's getting worse with time

BECAUSE she's the only one who could possibly know how and he could trust her enough to do that

[tanyuu]

country songs can pass the vibe check

@historias-multorum [x]

“It’s always a pleasure to see you, Ginko, and I’m glad you came by to say hello.” Tanyu stood up and leaned on her crutch. “I was recently brought some very delicious tea and cookies. Would you like to share them with me?”

Hello, I'd like you to break some asses down. No obvious characters for you, gimme: Kafka, Ginko, Ashton and Re-l. Thank.

Hi sibby bibby! Definitely not going easy on me with these, but let's see!

Kafka of Kaiju no. 8

He's so everything one can want in a main lead of a story. He's the beaten up dreamer version of a typical hero that grew up, accepted defeat, but remained kind and supportive. He throws himself whole into a second chance, never looks down on or hates younger people who have their successes come much easier. He's goofy, sweet, relentless, powerful in kindness. 10/10 would kiss on cheek.

Mina and Hoshina, preferable in world's most ride or die battle powerthrouple.

Reno and Kikoru, the kids he randomly found on a street and said 'is anyone gonna love and take care of these?' and then ran off with them without waiting for an answer.

Not involved in fandom enough to know what's popular fanon, but I think he's a needy switch and quite inexperienced because he was pining away for Mina. He takes to learning with gusto as with anything else, though.

That he wholly accepted it is him as person that made all of his efforts worth it, saved lives, not his monster-self. And also Kafkohismina downtime or battlethrouple scenes.

Ginko of Mushishi

He is so. *clenches fist* He says I don't care while he cares, so deeply. There is air of forever haunting melancholy and longing about him. A forever wandering half-myth that yearns to belong, that bears so many stories. He's so everything.

Adashino and Tanyuu. The letter writing ot3 AU we've created has changed me as a person, for the better.

Honestly? Same two. Their relationship is based on friendship, respect, unique bonds that are never on-screen romantic, so you can see them as you wish. Also I think he and Tama Minai have interesting dynamic that would be great to expand further. And of course Nui. Oh Nui.

Hits him with demisexual beam, just like every other character I love.

More on-screen maintaining of friendships with Adashino and Tanyuu via letters and the like. Also I know the point is that he can't settle down, that he is forever wanderer, but my heart can yearn for him to have a place called home.

Ashton Greymoore of Critical Role, Bell's Hells.

I admit I've fallen off the bandwagon and I wrestle with feeling like I misunderstood some things of his character since I can't quite understand some of their latest choices, but, in my heart of hearts, Ashton will always be LOML. I imprinted on them from getgo, instantly saw the undercurrents of care and golden, cracked heart they try to conceal. I just want to take care of them, so so badly, and to let them know they deserve it, no matter what. That they don't have to earn it or buy it. That they just have to be. Embarassingly, closest I've come to making OC to ship with someone, at height of my BH time.

Frankly? No one.

FCG, absolutely. I also think them and Orym make for an interesting 'our safety last, as long as our friends aren't hurt' kind of tank duo.

I don't like him and Fe*rne as a ship. Might be because her character as a whole doesn't appeal much to me, maybe because I don't see them embracing their growth and heart of hearts with her, whatever it is, it just doesn't tickle my fancy, but I fully respect character choices made by players. As long as Taliesin is having fun! He knows Ashton the best. Also I wish they'd been liked and appreciated by fandom for more than just being part of a ship. Before those took off, you could hardly find Ashton content. Even still, the focus on them is often quite shippy.

I am forever haunted by the time their worst fears were shown to be them losing control of themselves and the alternate lives shown as them being a king, a leader. I really wish they could embrace that more, be heard and seen, instead of sometimes their ideas even being attributed to other members of the party. There was a time when I'd have killed for a fic where they become part of Keyleth's entourage/just hang out with Ashari and get a chance to be comfortable.

Re-L from Ergo Proxy.

13 year old me thought she was the PEAK cool. One of aesthetic-bi awakenings. Did I want to be her or just stare at her? Yes. During rewatches as an adult, I have come to appreciate the complexity of her character and most of all, her growth from sheltered, straining-against-it young woman to a driven person with spiky shell, but that shell will also shelter others, if you earn her trust and her care. Considering how much was hidden from her, how much lies and betrayal she uncovered, it's hard to blame her for not being open with it immediately.

Vincent and particularly, Ergo Proxy. She and Mina would be gun-toting, monsterfucking besties for sure.

Pino and Re-l are such an underrated dynamic. There is something to be said about Iggy as well, especially since it's hard to tell if his pre-demise behavior was "truth" or not.

Too arrogant, uptight and demisexual to have had proper previous relationships. Also probably had some truly loser phases of makeup that Iggy has photos of.

I wish she had more time to unpack everything about Daedalus, her grandfather, who she is. The last act of anime didn't give many of these things any breathing room. I am fascinated to explore how she changed and grew in wake of it all.

Give me a character?<3

Mushishi

Mushishi (2005) is an episodic supernatural anime. The focus of each story is on “Mushi,” which are parasites that not all humans within this world can see. In the show, the Mushi often pose danger to humans, as they mimic a wide array of things like diseases and plants to rainbows or a human’s reflection. The show follows the travels of Ginko, a Mushi-shi whose job is to protect humans from Mushi but also research and gain a better understanding of them.

Episode 20 titled “A Sea of Writing,” centers on a character called Tanyuu who is unable to walk because of a Mushi in her leg. Her ancestor was forced to contain a Mushi inside their body, which now reappears every other generation, taking control of part of that person’s body. The only way to prevent the Mushi from completely overtaking her is to write down stories of Mushi being defeated.

In what ways is gender performativity tied to the supernatural? How does the series use the supernatural to liberate characters from oppressive normalcy?

This episode of Mushishi closely ties gender performativity with the supernatural because Tanyuu is confined to her home due to the Mushi. In her article “We’re Going to Make You into a Proper Woman’: Postfeminist Gender Performativity and the Supernatural in Penny Dreadful (2014-2016), Dina Pedro discusses traditional gender roles. And she writes that in Penny Dreadful “female characters transgress gender roles with the assistance of supernatural forces (194). Yet in Mushishi, it is supernatural forces that actually ties down Tanyuu and prevents her from traveling the world, which is what she truly wants to do.

What concepts of Gothic doubling function to define the natural from the supernatural?

The show describes Mushi as being “life in its purest form” and explains that they are simply trying to live. Although Tanyuu’s life is greatly altered by the Mushi in her leg, she also has an understanding that it is a living being that is part of her. While one would think that Tanyuu would dislike Mushi, she actually wants to understand them further.

How are characters rewarded or punished for subverting their expected character traits?

Because Tanyuu is curious about Mushi, she begins wanting to hear stories where humans and Mushi co-exist, even though these stories will not help prevent the spread of the Mushi in her body. By subverting her expected hatred towards Mushi, she is able to learn more about them and given a different perspective.

In what ways do Gothic doubles allow characters to transgress scripted gender that society imposes on them?

Although the Mushi in her leg is what prevents her from traveling the world, it is also what allows her to study and learn more about Mushi. Most people who study Mushi, known as Mushi-shi’s, are shown to be men. By hearing so many stories and gaining an understanding of Mushi, she hopes to become a Mushi-shi one day if her leg does deal.

Many supernatural shows portray humans as good and the "other" as bad. How does portraying the other as a life form that just wants to live change this perception?

What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of having an episodic show, where every episode is a different story with a different set of characters?

In what ways can animation add to and take away from the supernatural elements of a show?
