I think it's a cool detail, so I just wanted to point it out, but this line Yang's mother says in Zen Ungaikyo's memory scrolls is a reference to the famous opening passage of Heike Monogatari ("The Tale of the Taira Clan").
It's a classic japanese epic compiling the conflict between the Taira and the Minamoto clans during the Genpei War at the end of the Heian period.
The beginning of the tale announces the inevitable fall of the Taira through the Buddhist law of transience and impermanence.
"The prosperous must decline" is a phrase from the Humane King Sutra which says that "The prosperous inevitably decline, the full inevitably empty."
In buddhism, sala flowers are a symbol for impermanence and fleeting glory due to how quickly they bloom and fall.
Being a buddhist monk himself, Yang references this idea on multiple occasions. Even his and Yin's theme song says that 美しいものほど儚くて散りやすい ("The more beautiful something is, the more fleeting and easier to scatter it is").
The way I see it, the reference emphasizes both the inevitable fall of the persisting evil in the story (the wars, the evil god), but also the inevitable breaking and separation Yin and Yang experienced. It applies to both good and evil in this case and it's pretty bittersweet :')

A HAPPY YOKAI NEW YEAR!!!
This New Year I had an idea that I shared to Cupid (@deiformlover) about drawing our Yokai Characters celebrating the New Year in absolute pretty clothing! So you know I had to put Ungaikyo!Kei in the most pretty outfit because it’s what he deserves.😌
I’m so happy to have joined this community this year!!! I also can’t wait to continue with various projects I have in mind. So thank you all for following me and being one of my beloved mutuals!
LETS GET READY FOR 2023! (That sound so scary ngl💀)
Bonus:
You know what’s pretty sad when I now look at it? This is the first time in a century that she ever had a candy apple ever since she banished herself to her mirror. Thinking that she shouldn’t have any sweets or anything gratifying, because he wasn’t able to save his beloved friends from a grizzly death on time. But now, she’s finally more comfortable enjoying nicer foods and deserts ever since she was able to keep MC safe. Ya know, just some angsty food for thought.
ANYWAYS HAVE TRANSPARENT VER OR WHATEVER-
Kei’s pronouns in this universe is also He/She

Translation of the trailer for Takamagahara's final story arc
youtube
Legends say that the supreme goddess Amaterasu once separated sins from herself. However, these sins were reborn in the form of evil gods and together with a powerful evil god began to change the essence of people. Susanoo, who is the executioner of Takagamahara, managed to suppress the evil gods. Amaterasu turned into a true sun and fell into a long sleep. At this fortunate time, Yamata no Orochi opened the gate of the six paths. Following Susabi's prediction, Susanoo crossed space and time to stop Yamata no Orochi's conspiracy. Furthermore, along with the rest of onmyoji, he traveled to the worlds of the 6 paths to seal Yamata no Orochi and the evil gods. In the six sins that bring doom and destruction, there were hidden seeds of hope: Envy Gluttony Wrath Lies Pride Lust. The sealing of the evil gods, Amaterasu's awakening, the goddess of destruction. The struggle of light and darkness. Amaterasu, who has regained her full godhood. The final battle of Takamagahara arc will take place soon. The curtain is about to open.

i feel like onmyoji fell off when it started going insane with the story's powercreep, specifically the whole ungaikyo gets shattered and orochi becomes more evil plotline. for all the fun and interesting things that happened, it ultimately turned the story into a generic avengers assemble plot that went on for way too long.
#and i'm confident that the turning point of everything going to shit was the lotus crown arc#netease has milked it since it came out once they realized they could bank on (racist) yaoi#and now every male ssr looks like a bastard son of taisha#by the time they were committed to takamagahara i said fuck it#this game gave up the original “humans and yokai can coexist” plot so quickly#waba talk#onmyoji

Identifying the Legendary Spirits
From the Kayla X "Legendary Spirits" blind box figure collection:
This figure's name is "Blizzard".
She's the rare of the set, so I don't own her. But she's an obvious one! Clearly she's a Yuki onna, a Japanese yokai.
OR IS SHE
Unbeknownst to me, the idiot trying to figure out who all these figures are on my own, and naively believing the product description that claimed these spirits come from "all over the world" - there is actual documentation on who each and every one of them is, and surprise! they're all Chinese.
A few days ago while doing more research into this set, I found a 'Kikagoods Collections' youtube channel, and a video where a pair of hands and an AI voice open the full set of these Legendary Spirits, and there, in the pinned comment - a link to three blog posts on Kikagoods.com
Did you know Kikagoods has a blog section? Because I didn't! Do you know how many of these eight figures I identified correctly? Four! Well, three. Well, two and two halves.
First, the unambiguously correct.
'Forgotten', with her conspicuous bowl of soup, lantern walking stick, and spider lilies in her hair, is indeed the Chinese goddess Meng Po, who stands at Naihe bridge in the afterlife, giving her soup to the dead to drink so they forget their past life and can be reincarnated.
'Bleeding', with her red bridal gown and veil, dowry box, and rakshasa bird companions, is in fact the rakshasa who disguised herself as a bride and blinded a bride and groom on their wedding night, before escaping into the night.
Secondly, the half correct.
'Painted' is not the yokai ungaikyo, because yokai are in fact, not Chinese. But I did mention in that post the Chinese folktale of the Painted Skin, the demon who wore the painted skin suit of a beautiful woman in order to get close to a man and enter his home, ultimately being defeated by a Taoist priest. This is the true identity of Painted, who is using a bronze mirror to put the finishing touches on her lovely painted skin, and the wound on the back of her head is the seam of her suit. So I knew the inspiration, but didn't identify her correctly.
'Fatality' is indeed a nine-tailed fox spirit, but her inspiration was a little more specific. I did find the story that inspired her, but I didn't mention it in the post, so I'll only count myself as being half right about her. She is specifically the nine-tailed fox who possessed the concubine Su Daji of King Zhou of Shang, the last king of the Shang Dynasty. The fox spirit who possessed Daji was instrumental in the story of Zhou's tyrannical reign and eventual deposing, this story being notably adapted into the 16th century Ming Dynasty novel Fengshen Yanyi.
Thirdly, the incorrect.
'Mirage', the pearl-holding, weeping mermaid figure, is not a generic representation of mermaid's tears. She is in fact a Chinese mermaid, or jiaoren, who fell in love with a Buddhist monk, Bai Gongzi, though they ultimately could not be together because of the fundamental differences between them. The jiaoren's tears become pearls. This story is from a collection of folktales, Soushen Ji. Without the clue that all of these spirits are Chinese, there was no real chance for me to find this specifically, as I can't even find a full version of it online, just summaries.
'Withered' is playing a pipa like I thought, but she was the only one I fully gave up on finding. Turns out she is based on Yang Yuhuan, or Yang Guifei, or Consort Yang, the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and one of the 'four beauties of ancient China'. Despite being loved by the Emperor, during an insurrection which forced him to flee from his palace, Yang was used as a scapegoat for the rebellion, and was forced to commit suicide at age 37. Her story was a partial inspiration for the Tale of Genji! I'm so glad to finally know who she is.
'Revenge' cannot be an onryo as I stated because, again, onryo are Japanese. She is in fact the White Bone Demon from Journey to the West! Like so many demons in that story she wants to make Tripitaka into a snack, so she disguises herself as a young girl, then an old woman, then an old man to try to get close, but gets killed by Sun Wukong each time, though this results in his temporary banishment from the group because the disguises were very good and it looked like the Monkey King kept killing random people just coming up for a chat. I've been meaning to get around to reading my copy of Journey to the West for ages, though I'm at least somewhat familiar with the highlights from some of Overly Sarcastic Productions videos on it, as well as some reading in college. I'm very pleased to know her identity, it makes me like her even more!
'Requite' is in fact a cat spirit, good job to me for figuring that out. She's not a thief of any kind, which I was hung up on, and she's not just a generic cat demon either. She is specifically a reference to one moment from the amazing history of the rise of Emperor Wu Zetian, the only female emperor of China. When Wu Zetian got the former Empress as well as the Emperor's previous favorite concubine demoted, then executed, the once-favored Consort Xiao Shufei cursed her before her death, declaring that she would be reborn as a cat, and Wu Zetian as a mouse, and Xiao would scratch her to death. If you're not familiar with her, Xiran Jay Zhao has two incredible videos on Wu Zetian's life and rise to the position of Emperor which I highly recommend.
And that's everyone...isn't it?
Lastly, the one they forgot.
'Blizzard' is not covered by those three blog posts. But with some new confidence from all this new information and some more googling, I believe I have her. Not a yuki onna, not Japanese, but instead I believe this figure to be the Chinese goddess of snow, Tengliu. She's a pretty obscure goddess, with some places calling her the wife of the wind god Fengbo, and that the snowflake is a symbol of hers. That would explain the jade snowflake on Blizzard's belt!
Aaaand that's it! All eight (nine) of the Legendary Spirits figures identified. I wanted to do all this for me, but if you're a fan of these figures and wanted to know who they are, I hope this was helpful for you too.
