Kim Catsuragi, meowtenant in the PawCM!

Another older piece, this time a 3D piece based on a drawing by @/Anthj_a on twitter :)

Wanderer!MC getting dragged over by a few of the craftsmen for a round of drinks.

Katsuragi: 🙂‍↕️ “Is it really proper for a lady to be pulled into drinking…?” <- MC’s never clarified their identity and they look too much like the Shogun so it’s more of an assumption (and if MC’s being honest, they don’t really seem to care much).

MC surprisingly knows their liquor tho. Definitely teaching the folks how to home-brew that sakura sake on the sly~

But more importantly—

Nagamasa: “…So what’s your story…?”

MC knows exactly what he’s asking.

Katsuragi and the others are willing to overlook MC’s nature as a puppet; but in the long run, that kind of mentality might get them into trouble. (Sure, they might have cottoned on to “Escher” from the start, but he’s more or less a different ball game.)

Wanderer!MC: “I honestly don’t even know how to begin.” (🙂‍↕️ What exactly should I tell him…?)

Nagamasa: “Take your time. Everybody’s gone home, so it’s just us here.”

Wanderer!MC: “I highly doubt you’ll believe me.”

Nagamasa: “I think you, yourself, are more than enough evidence.”

Fair point.

Wanderer!MC: “My memories from the time of my creation are vague. I can’t guarantee that I have the whole picture, much less any idea of what the Shogun was thinking.

“All I know so far is that I was originally a proof of concept for whatever designs that she might have had, a rough draft. Afterwards I was probably meant to be some kind of ‘assistant’ for her, and to watch over a…very special relic of hers.

“But, her method of having me hold onto that relic was to try and store it away within me. I don’t know if my body was just incompatible, or if it simply wasn’t possible to store that relic with such a method. Either way, it hurt like a bitch, and of course I started crying like a baby.

“And I guess for the cold and Almight Shogun, that was a sign that I wasn’t able to fulfill my role, maybe because I wasn’t compatible, or I was just too…’human.’ So she left me behind to collect dust.”

*grabs a tiny bottle of leftover dandelion wine from Mondstadt and chugs the rest of it*

“So, what about you? What’s got you so obsessed with your family name?”

Nagamasa: 🤯💀 “My— My name? Obsessed—? I—” (How did we go from such a wild story to my own family history…!? What do they mean “obsessed”!?)

☝️ Really, it’s only fair that Nagamasa shares his story, after prying so deep into MC’s.

Wanderer!MC: 😏 “What, too drunk already? Whatever, it’s not like you have to talk about it. You kept watching me like I’m some shady bandit, and I needed to vent anyway. If that’s all you wanted to hear from me, I gotta go help the doc clean up.

“Oh, and here’s some unwanted advice—

“Don’t bother wasting your time trying to clear and live up to your family’s name. Make them focus on you instead.”

Nagamasa: 😒 (Speak for yourself, you kept avoiding us like the plague!) 🤔 (Focus on me instead of my name? Isn’t that basically the same thing? What a weird riddle—)

Wanderer!MC: 👀💢 “You…”

Outside the door, Niwa and Katsuragi were caught peeking inside.

Eavesdropping, without a doubt.

Nagamasa: 💀 “Oh…” (I thought they already went home.)

Katsuragi: 😱 “L-lovely weather tonight…!”

Niwa: 🗿 “W—we, uh… Ummmmm…”

Wanderer!MC: *emitting Electro energy* 💢⚡️😊⚡️💢 “Lovely weather indeed. Say, ever heard of something called ‘personal issues’~?”

Niwa: “Wwewewewewe we didn’t— We didn’t— We didn’t— We didn’t listen on purpose! Nagamasa—”

Nagamasa: *deliberately staring out the window* 😶🍶 (Mm, truly, what wonderful weather.) <- noping out like a coward

Katsuragi: 😭 “WE WON’T SAY ANYTHING WE SWEAR—”

Niwa: 😱 “NAGAMASAAAAAAAAA—”

How fortunate for Niwa and Katsuragi, that they received free tutorials in magic and elemental reactions~!

[The next day…]

Nozomu: 😦 “Why do you two smell like ozone…?”

Nagamasa: “Niwa and Katsuragi got curious about dabbling in Electro magic, and [Wanderer!MC] generously offered to teach them a thing or two.”

Katsuragi: 🥹🩹 “Very generous, indeed, my lord…!”

Niwa: ☠️💢 “Nagamasa, you…”

Niwa will remember this, Nagamasa, trust.

Ok, so three people are in the know of Wanderer!MC's story. At least they're people they can trust...

But also, lol, poor Katsuragi and Niwa. Then we have Nagamasa making things worse for the two. Hopefully he keeps an eye open as he sleeps, cause Niwa will remember this shit, Nagamasa! 🤣

ROUND 1 — Match 275 of 286

Sister Carpenter (The Silt Verses)

Identity: Aromantic and Asexual, implied/Word of God Notes: Referred to explicitly as “both ace and aro” by the creators on their Tumblr blog. Propaganda: 1. "Really a lot of her arc is deeply tied into aromanticism — in the episode following the one where she talks about her aromanticism, romantic relationships are used as a metaphor/stand in for their faith in their gods. Carpenter is someone who is losing her faith and wants to reject it entirely in the same way that she wants to reject romantic love. Despite this her god haunts her like an unwanted suitor, in ways parallel to her gods role in one of her faiths folk stories about a woman who chose to be horribly transfigured by the god on the day of her wedding in order to escape it. Carpenter is also incredibly badass and followed by the specter of her approaching death. She pretends that she doesn’t care about people, but she puts her all into protecting the people she cares about anyways, even to her own detriment." 2. "SISTER "MALLORY GLASS" CARPENTER PODCAST CHARACTER OF ALL TIME she's amazing. She worships an illegal river god she doesn't have faith in anymore. She kills people in the name of her god and then kills people in the name of righteous justice and both of those make her feel like absolute shit and don't really make anything better and she knows it. Her story is one of such loss that she was marked by the god of death and endings and it's one of the nicest things that ever happened to her. She's just trying to survive and she is so so so so tired of everything happening so much. The Silt Verses is so good and Carpenter is so good"

vs. Katsuragi (Senran Kagura)

Identity: WLW, heavily implied Notes: Directly flirts with and sexually propositions women in-source, and is described by Kenichiro Takaki as “enjoying the female body quite a bit”, but he states that whether her feelings are romantic or not are up to fans’ interpretation. Propaganda: N/A

Who should advance?

Sister Carpenter

Katsuragi

Kusunoki's Garden of Gods Episode 1 Review - Power of Handwriting

I honestly was intrigued by this anime because I like anything that revolves around supernatural creatures and it also gave me a bit of Natsume Yuujinchou vibes. To my surprise, it’s a cozy supernatural fantasy story about a guy hanging out with gods. It doesn’t get any cozier than that!

That’s basically the story: Minato Kusunoki becomes the temporary caretaker of a house a distant relative used to own. However, Minato is rather unique in that he can see spirits and supernatural beings, but only the good ones. His grandfather once said that it can help him in the future—and it does, as he befriends the Mountain God (Yamagami) who is grateful towards him for exorcising evil with his handwriting. Because of that Yamagami decides to hang out at Minato’s house often.

There are two sides of this story, the cozy aspects with Minato and the darker, evil spirit exorcising aspects with Harima, who is an onmyouji (an exorcist). It does make me curious about how these two sides will clash. Both sides are interesting in that Harima does seem to need to rely on Minato’s powers to get his job done.

Yes, the special power for this story is that Minato’s handwriting is very powerful. Whatever he writes, evil spirits get exorcised, but the writing fades away after some use. It leads to some hilarious stuff when Harima comes to Minato’s house thinking he’s using some sort of talismans, but it’s just a shopping list. The way Harima spit his tea out when Minato wrote a bunch of sweets on paper was hilarious. Regardless, I don’t know if Minato works or has enough money to live on his own, but selling the papers to Harima does make some decent money on his end.

Anyways, can I talk about Yamagami? He’s so fluffy! The way he gets smaller and cuter just squeezed my heart as a dog lover. I’m surprised that he can produce martens as minions…does this count as asexual reproduction? The one thing I like about the gods so far is that they seem to have different tastes. Yamagami likes Japanese sweets and water while the martens like western sweets. Minato definitely needs to start working because feeding four mouths and himself is no cheap task. Sweets are also expensive!

The voice cast is interesting! Minato is voiced by Shogo Sakata who voices Rosei in Agents of the Four Seasons, Ikari in Tougen Anki and Anzai in Windbreaker! He’s clearly a name I’ve been seeing a lot lately. Yamagami is voiced by Shinshu Fujii who voiced Shigeki Suwa in Buddy Daddies. Seri, the blue tailed marten is voiced by Shinnosuke Tokudome who voiced Wada in Let’s Go Karaoke. Torika, the red tailed marten is voiced by Minako Kotobuki who voiced Blue Rose in Tiger & Bunny and Serah Farron in FFXIII. Utsugi, the yellow tailed marten is voiced by Makoto Koichi who voiced Rio Sonidori in Medalist and Hamaoka in Go For It, Nakamura!

For the exorcists, Harima is voiced by Yuuchiro Umehara who voiced Nanba in Hana-Kimi and Togame in WINDBREAKER. Horikawa, his female colleague, is voiced by Yu Shimamura who voiced Jellymon in Digimon Ghost Game and Briar in Pokemon Horizons. Katsuragi, the older male colleague, is voiced by Hiroo Sasaki who voiced various supporting characters in various anime.

Anyways, I enjoyed the first episode so far and I hope the tone stays consistent throughout the season. Let me know your thoughts on this episode if you have watched it!
