another lil hc! whilst I do like all depiction of Kabukimono ( canonic && fandom ) , I think rendering him as not knowing how to do anything , how the world of humans work at all , or making him beyond clueless is a bit too popular . I much prefer him to had been trained by Ei , lectured about the art of performance such as kenbushido . . . he canonically has memories with Ei && Yae , even wears reisō ( white attire for shintō purification rituals ) signifying his affiliation with the Grand Narukami Shrine . he had the entire Shakkei Pavillion to himself with all the equipment inside , with no servants nor guards so he was most likely awaiting the day his mothers would return . I firmly believe he was preparing each day to properly greet them, which also requires basic skills .
#* . ⊹ 𝑇𝐻𝑂𝑈𝐺𝐻𝑇𝑆 𝑂𝐹 𝐿𝐼𝐺𝐻𝑇𝑁𝐼𝑁𝐺 › ooc .#I much more enjoy giving him SOME actual connections to EiYae rather than making them ever so distant and unavailable#plus! the reisou attire perfectly lines up with ootomo no kuronushi becoming the guardian of the snow-bound barrier#guarding the sakura tree and the afterlife while still being a villain undercover#Kabukimono having no skills does make sense. don't get me wrong. owning it all to humans to teach him etc#but I prefer him to give him the arteasian skills and the fighting skills to act as a base for him to embody both makoto's and ei's roles#to have the skills necessary to both enamore the people and protect them!#this is also why I think him being denied the position of a god/shogun and meeting the people of tatarasuna#inspired him to train to be the gonguji! this way he would also be close to his mothers as well.#not to mention he most likely wanted Ei's attention the most as oppose to Yae's even if Yae knew more about his life and knew about#his new life in Tatarasuna. his new life with Niwa... which could had been the moment depicted in the flashback (“set him free?”)
