Okuni in pride flag color palettes! 🏳️🌈
Among shimmering flower petals, Okuni guides the restless to the afterlife
sengokujidai·:
“Forget it. He’s merely like the rest of those boar generals armed with something different. Especially with a Sasumata pike.” It may be Gyuki himself but actually isn’t, due to the different arsenal. But he might be serious about eating the ladies? How cannibalistic that he cleaved straight towards them but both dodged at the same time.
Her javelin’s gotta use and find a vital point to skewer this one out of its misery.
“Try distracting him while i look for his weakness.”
“It’s what I do best,” Okuni chimed, twirling her umbrella as improvised a riveting dance. Intrigued but wary of the sudden change, the gyῡki and surrounding demons waited for an attack. Yet, Okuni merely advanced her movements, simple turns escalating into mid-air leaps and shimmering petals for added flair. The now-snarling gyῡki seemed impatient, however, as it locked eyes at this bewitching dancer.
“Waiting for your next meal, aren’t you? Why don’t you feast your eyes upon my dance?” she teased with a mischievous smirk. It’d be the one of the last beautiful sights to see.

“That might work… somehow.” Visiting the enemy to repair clothes? … This may sound fishy for them unless they’re clever. Sima Yi might have some counteracts to deal with this but he might not have experienced that before, so why not give it a try?
Yet this baffles Yueying where this will end to. She might use one of her new but tattered clothes to do some actual…. clothing repair?
“Are we doing this to observe the enemy or something?”
“That’s not a bad idea, hm?” In truth, she did want her clothes repaired, but Okuni could forgo her outfit for a humble citizen’s clothes. By roaming bustling streets back in Kyoto, she caught many tidbits of gossip, including disapproval toward those in power. Should she find intriguing information, their troops could use this to their advantage.
“People like to think of me as the aggressive type, so they won’t suspect me if I blend into the crowd. If you can find a handmaiden’s attire, I might be able to watch the generals closely. That is, unless they suddenly keep track of women they view as servants.”

❛ well , yeah — i suppose it is. ❜ it’s obvious that she doesn’t know how to receive a COMPLIMENT , despite her thirst for approval , as she absentmindedly begins to fidget upon the spot. lady diao chan was certainly well known within the confines of camp , often performing dazzling spectacles to the weary troops after they’d returned from the battlefield. but perhaps the dancer of 出雲 had a point — as much as she doesn’t want to admit such a cruel reality. ❛ but everyone loves her — i mean , she’s like a GODDESS ! ❜
“That, she certainly is. When I think of deities, I think of worship - even power. Some use their powers help or hinder; others do both depending on their situation. It makes you wonder if people like Lady Diao Chan want others to worship her aside from a flawless dance or pretty face.”
“I can see your problem more clearly now - you want to feel appreciated rather than mocked, hm? But why trade strength for the traits you seek when the curse of bewitching beauty may claim you?”
warriorsofhan·:
“Yes, he is my husband. Can’t believe this ended up a stalemate.” It’s no surprise that someone can outwit him in strategies. If it was Sima Yi, aided with one that has unpredictable sense of the fields of war, He’s overwhelmed mentally. Yueying sighed as her staff was already down. “If Sima Yi is behind this assault, then he might be serious on settling their rivalry in an unpleasant way..”
Whoever that person is, kudos to them for helping the man carrying a horsehair whip. It might be time to head back to the drawing board for them.
“We’ll be heading back to the war council and discuss new ones that can counteract his.”
“Sima Yi... hm. It sure takes a lot of energy to hold grudge, yet being loathed by another? I get that sometimes.” While she did not encounter this strategist of Wei often, Okuni knew of his cunning nature from mingling with troops. Strangely enough, she sensed a prior encounter with Wei’s forces, but could not pinpoint the reason. The thought would wait, however, as more important reasons occupied her mind.
“Since this was part of your esteemed husband’s plan, why don’t we make him pay to repair my clothes?”
warriorsofhan·:
starter - @onnakabuki
“You might have to be careful next time. I almost had you due to the numbers Orochi and Zeus has.” Cleaning out of some chunks of enemy soldiers was actually Yueying’s daily basis as she was rusty with her bo staff in hand. But somehow her bladebow is still intact.
Okuni was alright and almost not harmed by the swings.
“They’re still after you, isn’t it?”
“If you’re truly upset, you may have to talk with that husband of yours - the famed Zhuge Liang, is it?” Okuni examined the tears in her dirtied sleeves; otherwise, she felt mostly intact. “I happily volunteered as part of a decoy unit for his strategies, and entertaining myself sometimes involves dancing near death’s door.”
“Still, something felt off. I’ve heard his strategies are exceptional, yet the enemy seemed more prepared than usual.”
sengokujidai·:
“Neither be bandits or typical scouts of Orochi nor the other, it can’t be prevented to stain one’s self with blood.” Ina won’t be needing her javelin to be used here as she drew her dagger like a ninja. If it was regular bandits armed with swords, just kill them. If it was one of Orochi nor Zeus’ scouts, spare one and kill the rest.
And they’re coming right this way.
“Brace yourself, They mean business!”
“I’ll crunch you, bones and all!”
Just as Okuni expected a brief skirmish, a towering ox-like figure began to charge toward the women. So this demon was the truly hungry one, wasn’t it? While the dancer’s encounters with the gyūki were few, she could distinguish a tad more personality within them. Orochi’s grunts merely obeyed orders, yet this giant displayed greater excitement, though misdirected.
Swinging wide with her parasol, Okuni summoned a gust of wind and sakura petals to disorient the demons. While the gust knocked back the smaller grunts, the gyūki stormed forward unfazed.
“That one may be a problem, yet from what I’ve seen, he’s more of a buffoon than a single-minded peon. Can something like that help our cause?”
hojospiriited·:
she really doesn’t like the prospect of being center of attention , because surely that would only attract more OPPORTUNITIES for others to poke fun at her , at her own expense of course — perhaps she just wasn’t bound for grace or femininity , but rather a future of insecurity && judgmental attitudes wherever she went. ❪ no , i have to try ! ❫ ❛ well , i — i fight with a じゃばらけん. ❜ a STARK contrast to the other’s beautifully crafted parasol , one which prompts her to inwardly grimace. surely elegant women didn’t wield swords , did they ?
“Can’t say I’ve seen it on the battlefield before - does it resemble Lady Diao Chan’s whip? It takes skill to fight with a weapon that fights back, hm?” After mingling with the troops, Okuni learned of Diao Chan’s history with a tyrant that continues to pester them in this realm. Behind her bewitching facade, Diao Chan’s dances were fraught with danger - for the enemy or herself?
“Once you get to know her, Lady Diao Chan carries a burden beneath that allure. Even the most graceful endure harsh ridicule.”
Froslass!
“There’s something else beyond the frigid air around you - I just don’t know what,” the spirit eyes the obi wrapped around the creature’s waist. The being’s appearance reminds Okuni of her youth - a living, breathing dancer. Nothing stops her from living in her own ways now, however.
“Why don’t you come along with me so you don’t wander alone? Izumo is lovely this time of the year.” || [ 2 / 6 ]

“Oh, aren’t you the most adorable thing? How your petals shimmer beneath the morning light - let us dazzle the stage together!” || [20 1 / 6]
Put a Pokemon in my muse’s askbox and they will either catch it or let it go; but they can only catch 6 total!

“I guess that is possible. Panic brings separation to loved ones after all.” It was unknown for Ina how it all happened. Must be a successful surprise attack from Zeus’ forces, perhaps? Well played.
“There must be clues on their whereabouts. At least one that can lead us.”
“If nothing else, I’ve heard that interrogation is a useful strategy. I doubt those demons will help us, but I wonder if soldiers of a god have more sense.” A distant unsheathing of blades broke the silence, angry figures appearing from the distance. Just in time for a performance.
“Seems I’ll have to get my hands dirty, hm?”
piwallstrat·:
Do what feels natural huh? With his kind of weapons, its easy to get into the movement of dance. After all he has to evade his own weapon as well when he uses it. He thinks for a moment.
“Natural? Well I could do that.” in a way. “But , how long do you have to dance to know whats natural for me?”
“I believe it’s something you feel right away. When you’re trying it for the first time, are you enjoying yourself? Does it make you feel good?” Okuni inquires, noting his muscled physique. “Maybe Lord Rational can find that thrill of battle through dance - pretend you’re holding your weapon. How do you perform on the front lines?”
purplefury’s charity commissions
This is my first time opening art commissions, but I wanted to do something different and help my local communities. For $15 USD, I will make a traditional piece with the styles shown above! You may request a gray-scale or a minimal color scheme, and the price will be $15 USD regardless. All proceeds will go to the North Valley Community Foundation to aid in California wildfire relief.
Important notes:
I intend for these to be fairly quick paintings, so only single characters for this round! In addition, no full-body requests - anything from the thigh up is okay.
I won’t be able to mail physical art at this time, so I’ll provide a high-resolution scan. Since I’m working with relatively small paper (6 in x 8 in), these scans are best for online use!
I only accept money through paypal! If you’re interested, please send an email to [email protected] with the following information:
Your name/social media handle:
Color choice: [gray-scale] [color]
Requested character
Description: character’s personality, pose, up to 3 colors if you request a color piece, important details
Visual reference required for OCs! References for poses are encouraged!
Other details I should include (optional):
Paypal email for invoice:
3 slots are available, and I’ll provide updates!
Feel free to message me on tumblr or through email if you have questions! Reblogs are greatly appreciated!

“Mikatagahara.” Only remembered that place where an ambush happened and caused them to be scattered. This is somewhat like a dejavu or something Ina doesn’t want to recall with.
“I guess cooping here won’t help anything. Let’s move. I’ll protect you with this spear and knife in my hands.”
“Much appreciated, though don’t think I won’t be able to fight back, either!” the dancer’s words held an air of confidence. “I wasn’t given a specific task other than disrupting the enemy-- as I love to do-- but it’s strangely quiet, hm? Do you think one of your own lured them away?”
