#ghost of tsushima self insert

[arttrampbelle]

Frack it. I'm sharing my ghost of tsushima self ship art

Me and shimura

Since i don't think he had an official given name. So i gave him one. Masato meaning proper,genuine, person. Which in a way kinda fits since he is kinda considered a traditional "honorable" samurai type.

Plus it sounds cool.

My self insert oc is kinda more or less myself but done in a period type aesthetic. I know it's not historically accurate. But honestly,idc. I just wanna give this old man some peace. Maybe then he'd act right,and stop being so rigid all the time lmao i haven't gotten that far quite yet. I might just keep it simple and open. I think that's better.

I have some hcs about shimura. But i dunno if y'all wanna see em or not.

I thought about making another sideblog but i have so many it aint even funny. So I'll post on main for now.

💕🌸Heart of a Samurai🌸💕 is now my self ship tag for this character.

okay, here’s a longer post about the 3rd variation of my ghost of tsushima self insert; the fox that stole lane’s identity

— the fox follows traditional fox folklore in japan, more specifically that of the yako kitsune.

— it is a nine-tailed fox that is around 900-ish years old. it is highly skilled with its magic, however i have chosen to nullify its powers slightly so that it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb in ghost of tsushima’s setting.

— lane, the vessel for the fox, had just arrived in tsushima when it encountered the fox. the fox tracked lane down, killed her, and took her body and memories on as her own. the fox now goes by the name “lane” and identities with many of her traits.

— essentially, this fox, who had yet to perfect her human form, killed a random traveler and stole her identity for shapeshifting purposes. human lane is dead, fox lane is a mockery of her- however, they are still similar in some ways.

— she chose to do this because lane is very visibly different from the rest of tsushima (she’s a swedish traveler) and she wanted be unique. she felt that her fellow fox’s human forms all looked like copies of each other for the sake of “blending in,” and that’s not what she wanted- she wanted to stand out.

— like any other fox in this folklore, fox lane can shift between a human form and a fox form. however, her transitions to human form aren’t always seamless; sometimes her tails or ears are still visible.

— her other powers include mind reading, mind control, dream walking, the ability to induce hallucinations, and whatever the fuck fox fires are.

— she is just as clueless about tsushima’s society as human lane is in the versions where she survives, because she is a fox that is not used to human customs.

— fox lane finds herself enjoying much of what human lane did, like painting, writing, and taking long walks in nature.

— the fox is able to see the world in a way that it never has before; through the eyes of a human. with time, it begins to feel human, which is scary at first, but it learns to enjoy it.

Well, this is still awkward..

Weather: changeable, sometimes rain, sometimes warm

Currently playing: Tiptoe - Jason Derulo

I'm still here in the psychiatric hospital. Probably have to stay here until friday. That's been 4 weeks. I'm so so tired and I wanna go home so bad. I can't wait to play some Ghost of Tsushima . Last sunday I started playing, until I had to go back to the hospital. Meh. Even my body reacted to me having to come back, I was so nauseous. With every fiber of me I didn't want to go back. But I had to, since I want to continue going to my therapists after I get released. And if I release myself early, I won't be able to go to them anymore. At least I got a new nice roommate today, an older lady, very reminiscent of my mom, in her appearance and definiteley her mannerisms. But I like her, can feel for her and identify with her problems. Yesterday I was officially diagnosed with schizophrenia and borderline. I'm still not too sure what that means for me. My schizophrenia isn't news to me, it's very paranoid. I sometimes am so afraid that there might be someone trying to hurt me or that someone listens to my conversations at all times. In some more clear moments I of course can see the reality, that no one is there to hurt me. But when the voice inside of me takes over I'm so so afraid. The voice is definitely something evil. She's female and will attack me at my weakest points . And sometimes I cannot fight her off anymore. Hence why I'm in hospital.

I'm also a bit afraid to got home. Will I do everything right? Or will I crumble again?

Right now the only thing that helps are my daydreams. I currently dream of the ATLA world and have kind of self inserted myself, but not really bc that character is nothing like me, more like how I wanna be. But thinking of how I am instead makes me so sad, so I dream of Zuko instead.

On Ghost of Tsushima and Cultural Appropriation

When I think about Feudal Japan as a concept or setting, certain things pop up: the underpinnings of Sengoku-Jidai, Japan’s latecoming insertion into the wider world, the differences in tone, ethos and class that separate European feudality and specifically Japanese feudality, the ways in which honor is expressed that feel both similar and different, the familiar obligations of a liege-lord to anyone who’s so much as read either James Clavell’s Shogun or who’s so much as paid attention in French Lit class and still remembers the gist of the Medieval Chanson de Geste - 

I could go on for a while. “Feudal Japan” as a concept provides a lot to unpack for your average, mildly-cultured foreigner. Most of us think of the last few centuries that lead up to the archipelago’s contact with Portuguese tradesmen and missionaries, and then our minds tend to flit back to Kurosawa’s standards or those of the greater revival of Japanese cinema, circa the 1970s. From The Seven Samurai to Rashömon, there’s a wide gamut of influential works to consider - many of which happen to pay respect to a figure that’s not exactly native to the land of affordable cars and of the cornucopia of Anime subgenres.

That figure is William Shakespeare.

Look around for Kurosawa’s contemporaries, and you’ll find that a common trend in the seventies involved adapting some of his plays - Macbeth and King Lear, notably - for a Japanese audience, by recasting the subject of the plays in a Medieval Japanese context. Hamlet becomes the son of an influential jito, Romeo and Juliet hail from rival samurai clans both seeking to curry favors with the Shogun, and King Lear becomes a fictitious Shogun coming to grips with his heritage.

Us Westerners look at this and nobody bats an eyelash.

Fast-forward a few decades, and a plucky studio that’s been graduating from Platformer Shenanigans to Open-World settings first drenched in Comic Book sensibilities and then shyly cribbing from the tensions inherent to reservation life decides to take the plunge. Their next work’s going to be serious, it’s going to touch on serious matters, and it’s going to seriously contend with a still-exotic culture setting and time period. They consult anthropologists, review every facet of their game-design doc with specialists of 1140s-era Tsushima and greater Kamakura-Era scholars. The costumes are period-accurate, the entire English-speaking cast either has roots in the Japanese diaspora or the wider Asian American palette. Swordplay animations are as on-point as the procedural aspects of most swordfights allow, the smushed-up regions of Komatsu and Ariake are still approached with as much reverence and care as possible - and despite all this, the Political Correctness Police flips its lid.

Why? Because the game was developed by Americans. They shake the spectre of cultural appropriation in the face of Famitsu articles stating that locals of the archipelago see Sucker Punch’s work as being surprisingly respectful and true-to-form, and at best criticized a few improper forms in the Japanese voice track.

If you’ve paid attention, though, you know what this is: some people see Japan as a virginal land devoid of Western influences - let me inject a bile-laden scoff here - and will fight for their perceived purity tooth and nail, seeing as the current trends involve not acting on our ancestors’ faults, but rather diabolizing ourselves for them.

In their minds, we’re thieves and murderers. We steal Culture and fleece Art, smother it in Commerce and then restitute it in the form of a cheap, denatured entertainment-based bile. Western botanical gardens hosting tea parties complete with kimonos and non-Asian shamisen players become abominations, and a red-haired teenager’s self-made Maiko cosplay becomes tantamount to Blackface. Between her and Judy Garland’s more unfortunate career choices, some people say, there’s no distinction at all.

If you know me, then you know I’m on the exact opposite side of the spectrum. If we’re lucky, Ghost of Tsushima is going to push someone to learn Japanese not to ogle girls in an Akihabara maid café, but rather to earn an Archeology degree and delve into Japan’s deep history. It’s going to push someone to read James Clavell’s works or perhaps study up on William Adams or his Black contemporary, Yasuke. It’s going to clear up some cosplayers’ understanding of the proper length and seams of a traditional hakama. It’s going to sell one or two copies of Bashö or Buson’s translated haiku compilations, or maybe finally make it clear to some that the Hagakure pays no small debt to Chinese philosopher Sun Tsu, and that frequent contacts between Japan, then-unified Korea and China allowed for Japan to become something more than the mist-shrouded Kingdom of Yamato it once was.

Appropriate one another’s cultures, friends. Do it without shame, do it with as much joy and reverence as you can muster. In doing so, you’ll keep it alive, keep it growing.

lord shimura self ship asks/hcs part2

Here is some more ghost of tsushima self ship hcs for shimura.

Cw: mostly fluff may have some angst and implied nsfw but not really.

🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕

• Who do you self-ship with? What’s your ship name together?: Lord Masato Shimura from the ghost of tsushima game. (I gave him a given name since in canon to my knowledge they never gave him one so im making my own hcs now. Plus i just feel like he should have more to him then what was shown) my ship tag is 💕🌸heart of a samurai🌸💕

• How long have you self-shipped with them?:  well not for a long time. More so recently. I just have a newfound absolute love of this character.

• When did you get together in your shipping canon?: well my self insert oc kurisuta. (Which is just essentially myself) met him after he saved her from bandits. He retired after the war and appointed a new jito with the permission of the shogun. And lived life in peace for the most part. (There is some angst with jin,his personal honor,etc but yeah that's pretty much how it goes)

• How did you meet?: after he saved me from bandits.

• When did you first know you loved each other?: well if was after a few months of staying with him. After helping some people from pirates. We went back to his home and estate and kinda had a moment.

• Who made the first move?: technically we both kinda confessed in a way.

• What was your first date like?: it was a nice ride to an onsen and a nice picnic out. Very sweet. It was summer and we had melon.

• When did you first say “I love you” to each other?: again it was after our big battle with pirates.

• What are the most important relationship events for you? Drop a timeline!: well besides the big pirate fight. Another is when he made amends with jin,who was still wanted by the shogan. But another is when we married.

• How extensive is your shipping canon?: its simple. But i added more to shimura and his backstory more because i wanted something actually somewhat better than what we got. (Again no shade. I looooove this game. But even thru its amazing storytelling....it has some things i dont like and is worth a critique. I dunno i guess i just wanna rewrite it with just a bit less romanticism towards the samurai code a bit. Because historically shimura shouldn't be acting the way he does sometimes in canon im just saying. You could argue with hypocrisy or even more of the thing of he just wanted to help his people the best way a leader could as much to his ability. Same as any warrior leader. But i still personally have a gripe with it slightly)

11-20 - ATTRACTION

• First impressions of each other?: at first he thought of me as a sweet woman. And surprisingly a decent warrior. But as we grew close. He thought of me as more than that. He felt at peace and ease. For the first time in a long time. He fell in love but not just as a lover....but also as a friend and life companion.

• How close were you as friends before you got together?: most definitely. He's a great friend to have. :3

• Who fell for the other first?: i kinda hc it was mutual,but there was HELLA pining.

• What initially attracted you to them versus what they were attracted to?: well he was attracted to my genuine kindness. I loved his courage but his compassion. He cared for his people,deeply but he is only human and him retiring was his own personal way of atoning and still able to be samurai in a way. He has made mistakes and he felt this way he could help his nephew jin while making amends and letting things go.

• How do you match up with your first crushes?: i dunno this is kinda its own self contained thing.

• Your top 3 favourite things about them versus theirs about you.: my fave 3 are his smile,his laugh,and his heart. His fave or mine are my smile,my heart,and my arms around him. Maybe my sense of humor. It gets him thru.

• The physical traits you love of theirs.: his eyes,his strong arms,and maybe his beard. (Im a simple person to please ok?)

• The personality traits you love of theirs.: again his heart and courage. Despite everything he still loves his nephew. He never let this war ever change that.

• How publicly affectionate are you? Is it cringe, embarrassing or do you love PDA?: for me? I dont care really. I have no preference. Hand holding is simple and enough for me. I actually dont really like overwhelming pda. But I'll tolerate it. As for masato? He would rather show his super "cuddly" side in private. But he will not hesitate to flash a smile or grin.

• Is sex important to this relationship? Why or why not?: it's not super important. However there is a lot of tension at times. 😏

21-30 - ROMANCE

• What are your go-to date night ideas?: as long as we are together and having a good time. Anywhere really.

• What’s a gift that you’ve given each other that means a lot to you?: he actually has a silk hair tie he gave. It was a partly of his old armor. He wanted to make for me. I wear it both in my hair or around my head. I gave him a beaded charm bracelet,it's supposed to give him protection and luck.

• What are your love languages?: honestly we need all of them. But i feel like just a simple reassurance. Like a simple im jere for you,a care about you. That kinda thing. Acts of service especially. But he does love giving gifts. Simple and sweet.

• What’s ‘your song’ with them? Does it remind you of each other, or have special memories attached to it?: honestly i haven't thought about it yet.

• What places are special to you guys? Is it because of a memory or is it somewhere you want to go?: there is a small place ontop of a cliff that overlooks the ocean and is a huge field of flowers. He and i rode there after our big battle with the pirates. It was our first...well you know.

• What things in daily life remind you of each other?: for him,wisteria or purple flowers remind him of me,sometimes small bells. And plum blossoms actually remind me of him. Sometimes chrysanthemums. The gold trees too. Waterfalls.

• Do you own anything that’s symbolic of your relationship i.e. charms, souvenirs etc.?: we do have an omomori charm that hangs near our bed. But he has a bell attached to his sword. To have a piece of me wherever he goes. And i have one around my neck.

• If you’re away from each other, what do you prepare for each other? Welcome back gifts, setting time aside etc.: he will set aside time most definitely. Sometimes he'll have a nice meal prepared. Pretty much the same for me. I will however run right up to him and hug him tight.

• What is a guilty pleasure/something that you’d be embarrassed to tell them about, but want to share?: ok sfw would be he actually loves board games and gambling games but he kinda doesn't want me to get into it due to it's...notoriety. a nsfw thing would be shibari. He absolutely is into that.

• What do you find weird about each other? Is it endearing or an actual ick?: its not so much weird as its odd and curious to him that i can eat so much and yet... stil have room. Also how much spicy i can eat.

Honestly i love this game series and it's a lot of fun and i love the story and characters. I of course have my own takes and aus but for the most part i have loved this game from start to finish.

[arttrampbelle]

It makes me sad there is hardly any content for the ghost of tsushima games. And its such a good game.

I dunno if its because of the whole thing of it not getting as much love as other games when it came out. Or if it's people fearing of doing any x readers,self inserts or ocs. Like y'all do it with other period/history based anime,games and movies,why is this any different? This hasn't stopped people.

But for some reason there isn't any content. Maybe art here n there. But hardly anyone writes about the characters.

I honestly don't know the reason why there is such little to no content. You'd think people would be all over it.

But maybe people still have this weird prejudice about games based around asian cultures,i know it's not always the case tho. Specifically Japanese culture,that isn't anime like or modern era based. And if it is period or more history based. Then its always during the edo or meiji periods. Which dont get me wrong. Is pretty interesting. And still great. But japan has a rich history and many periods to base your stories after. Feudal japan is quite interesting in itself. Maybe prejudice is a strong word. I dunno it's just people are weird about certain themes in stories I've noticed. Maybe im reading too much into it.

Heck a lot of the feudal history throughout human history is interesting.

I know some people just aren't into it. Anf thats fine. I just am curious. Again this isn't to point fingers or vent.

I just am genuinely and innocently curious as to why this fandom is so small.

But if you aren't looking for realism for any x reader or fic material for this game. There is plenty of mythos in the game you can play off of.

I just feel so sad this is a missed opportunity for creativity too.

And also trying to find content is like finding a match in a wet cave. 😔

I can make my own content for sure. But its just sad hardly anyone does it too.

I just wanna know would y'all write or makes ocs or self inserts for this game? Or am i alone here?

Because i made one. But i feel awkward sharing it. Because id feel like the only one here doing it. 👉🏻👈🏻

thinking VERY intently about fox!lane and jin......................the dynamic is so cool. i am happy that i finally get to make a folklore-accurate 'kitsune' self insert, but im also happy because it WORKS!!! ghost of tsushima has a lot of supernatural/mythical elements that i can work with + jin has foxes woven into his story (his mother believed that inari was his guardian bc she saw a fox chasing fireflies outside of their house on the day he was born) so it just WORKS!
