Kotoyo of Tenjinshita 1908

KOTOYO god I like… never draw him ever.

It’s excessively weird to draw him without his stuffed cat toy.

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN PLEASE REBLOG THE COMMISSION SHEET IF YOU LIKE MY WORK AND WANT ME TO KEEP MAKING THEM. ONLY GOT THREE COMMISSIONS SO FAR (AS OF 11-1-19) SO IF YOU’RE THINKING ‘SHE’S PROBABLY GOT TONS SHE’LL BE FINE’ YOU’RE WRONG.

Momoko and Kotoyo from Shinbashi, ca. 1890. Momoko is a popular girl’s name and common geimei even today. Kotoyo is rather rare, but just last year, a Kotoyo debuted in Sapporo!  I always find it interesting how some names stay popular over 100 years (there were four different Momoko in Kyoto in that timespan alone), and some just sound incredibly old-school and are rarely used (like, names starting with “Kuni” 國/国/くに , which have only remained in Shinbashi).

Sapporo, September 2018: from left to right: Chie, Koume, Kotoyo. You can see that Chie and Kotoyo tied their obi with a tsunodashi knot on the second picture. Sources. First picture, second picture.

New Geigi and Hangyoku in Sapporo

On 1st June 2018, two Geigi (Kotoyo こと代 and Chie 千恵) and a Hangyoku (Koume 小梅) debuted in Sapporo.

In the 1950′s, there were around 300 Geigi and 40 Ryôtei in the city of Sapporo, but like in so many cities, it all went downhill during the economic crisis in the late 80′s/early 90′s. Only ten of them were left last year until the foundation of an association to support new Geigi financially (a wardrobe of Kimonos and the lessons are expensive!) and thus, the Sapporo hanamachi gained four new Members this year!

The fourth one is called Miko but I don’t know the kanji, if she is a Hangyoku or Geigi and she seems to have debuted separately from the other three.

“Alrigh’, spitfire. Ya done this before?” his thumb stroked her skin softly as he slowly rucked her dress up her hips. 

He smirked down at Kotoyo, his hand on her plump thighs as he held them down to settle himself in between. The swirling hazel blue of his eyes made her flush, anxiously darting hers to the side to try and avoid the heat in his gaze.

“Why are you asking that?” she hissed, her blush creeping down her chest. 

He grinned, “Ya look cute like tha’. But information’s important, lil thing.” 

She growled but once again her honey eyes slipped to the side, “Once.” 

“Yeah? How’d it go?” he murmured, his pupils widening as he watched her squirm beneath in embarrassment. 

“Not great, ok!?” she groaned. 

“Ok. Well, this time, we’ll make it perfect,” he growled heatedly.

His hand moved up passed her hips to follow the curves of her body with reverence. Dox’s expression held nothing but concentration and hunger. A barely contained need that caused his brow to twitch and his jaw to clench. Flame above, he’d been waiting for this, he knew he shouldn’t be doing this. Maybe that’s what made the anticipation so sweet, maybe it’s what made the knowledge that he’d soon be buried balls deep in the Vessel under him, so deliciously exciting. 

He was her guard. He wasn’t supposed to want Kotoyo. Yet he couldn’t stop himself, he was so passed reeling himself back in. He leaned over her, this wasn’t exactly how he wanted to do this, they were out in the woods on the run from some soldiers from the Fae Kingdom. But with adrenaline running high through his veins and her so receptive, he couldn’t imagine not mounting her. 

Dox’s fingers tangled in the charcoal of her hair, pulling some loose from her braid, and yanked her head back to meet his lips in a harsh kiss. She was inexperienced, he could tell from her squeak and the sloppy, slow movements of her mouth. Her inability to keep up would normally put him off, and yet all it did was make him groan and grow harder, because he was corrupting her in more ways than anyone else had. 

She tried, and there was so much heat, so much passion, she wanted him just like he wanted her. It was messy and slick as he showed her what to do, as he claimed her mouth over and over. Until they were both panting, and her eyes were hazy and pupils gaping when he broke away. 

His teeth met her collar bone and she flinched before melting more, moaning openly for him. He needed this, needed her, more than he had realized. His cock throbbed insistently, trying to push him to hurry. Maddox didn’t want to rush though. He wanted to take his time, drive her crazy until she worshipped him. Until she couldn’t think about anything but him. 

He didn’t need the Oracle here to tell him the heresy of his actions or thoughts, but he couldn’t care less in the moment. As his nose buried itself in her cleavage and the warm scent of clove rushed to overwhelm him. His thumb brushed along the cloth of her undergarments, feeling the soaked material pushed tight against her pussy. 

“So long,” he whispered into the sweat coated skin of her chest.

“What?” she asked, whimpering when he brushed her clit and her hips jolted. 

“I feel like I’ve waited so long t’ find ya,” he said, grinding his thumb down against her and causing her to bow into the sensation. “Was worth it. ‘Cause now yer mine.” 

He growled at her answering nod, sinking his teeth into the meat of her shoulder until he felt her thrash, slipping a finger past the side of her underwear into her tight heat. He tasted a flash of iron on his tongue, heard Kotoyo whine under him, curled his finger into her as his mouth loosened to lick the wound soothingly. 

“Yer mine, aren’t ya? My lil’ spitfire,” his hips ground down against the pine needles on the forest floor. 

“Yours,” she answered, her eyes looked up at him, shining through the fog of lust. 

“And I’ll show you jus’ how much, Vessel.”

These children drove me crazy but it's finally done.  8D

Crona took Ko out to get ice cream.  That simple.  Should not have taken me this long, especially since I decided to do chibis rather than attempt anatomy, but... well I wound up attempting some semblance of anatomy anyway.  And everything wanted to be hard.  EVERYTHING.  I had to completely redo both their feet, lengthen their skirts, fix Kotoyo's hair and eyes, add in Reiko, fix Crona's dress cuffs, and move them both so they actually give the illusion of standing on the same platform instead of Ko sort of... floating next to Crona.

Crona, your hair continues to baffle me.  Like, jesus, child.  And the worst part is that his hair would be so much easier if only his bangs were even!  I mean, I probably still wouldn't be satisfied, but at least it'd look a little better!

But if his bangs were even, he also wouldn't look like the Crona we all love, so... I guess I'll just eventually learn how to draw them.  Eventually.  ^^;

Oh god I finally got off my butt and did this.

Here's Kotoyo with Reiko!  Decided to make her a calico because my brain hates me and wants me to have to draw all those patches I didn't want it to be a plain color.
