Girly yet not overly sweet outfit, pairing a blueish purple hakama with a lively kimono with all seasons flowers (especially ume/plum blossoms, and botan/peony). It’s a bit hard to see on pictures, but the kimono has a woven background depicting playful shishi (stylised lions)!
Stone lions for sticker club! Based off the lion statues I used to see in front of my old school.
Erroneously called "foo dogs" in English, stone lions usually come in pairs guarding the entrance of a building. The female lion protects the interior, and the male lion protects the exterior. Traditionally, both the lions are depicted with luscious manes. I chose to make my lady lion sleeker, along with her baby.
I'll be shipping these out on January 1st. Sub to sticker club if ya want this pair of designs in the mail 😸
Decided that Shishi was Cousin's half-brother recently and so redesigning him a little bit to look more like he's half-Dakh, half-Bid'ha. Isei had an idea that the Bid'ha could have crocodilian skin in some parts, as well as those little whiskery beardy things, so I took those ideas. Also messed w/ his crest a little bit.
He is the weirdo of the family. Despite his towering size and his abilities making it so he could do very well among the yautja, he has more or less withdrawn from participating in 'normal' yautja society and instead pursues the feeling of glory and vanity that comes with some humans considering him something of a deity.
Cousin hates it when he visits. He never announces himself either, he just shows up.
Kuronue kissed Shishiwakamaru's brow and murmured, "I know you're all about ranks, propriety, and everyone and everything belongs in their rightful place… but even if I'm a fallen noble… I rather believe I belong at your side. Don't marry that man Shishi. Run off with me." And Damn Kuronue, Shishiwakamaru thought, Damn him, because he wanted to finally let go of his pride--and run off with the man he loved.
The Hebrew word for Friday is "יום שישי" (Yom Shishi), which literally means "the sixth day."
In Judaism, Friday is significant because it is the day leading into the Sabbath, which begins at sundown. It marks the preparation day for the Sabbath, known as Erev Shabbat, when families gather, prepare meals, and engage in rituals to welcome the Sabbath.
cheesy romance novel summary here: Yusuke Urameshi wants to marry Lord Shishiwakamaru's younger sister, Botan. Over Shishi's dead body! However, Yusuke has friends in high places… and low. Yusuke enlists the help of his good friend's stable boy, Kuronue, and pays him a small fortune to prank and torment Shishiwakamaru. Little did anyone suspect, that these pranks would bring an unlikely couple together
