#plus! the reisou attire perfectly lines up with ootomo no kuronushi becoming the guardian of the snow-bound barrier

[gonguji]

another  lil  hc!           whilst  I  do  like  all  depiction  of  Kabukimono  (  canonic  &&  fandom  ) ,    I  think  rendering  him  as  not  knowing  how  to  do  anything ,  how  the  world  of  humans  work  at  all ,  or  making  him  beyond  clueless  is  a  bit  too  popular .      I  much  prefer  him  to  had  been  trained   by  Ei ,  lectured  about  the  art  of  performance  such  as  kenbushido . . .    he  canonically  has  memories  with  Ei  &&  Yae ,  even  wears  reisō  (  white  attire  for  shintō  purification  rituals  )  signifying  his  affiliation  with  the  Grand  Narukami  Shrine .        he  had  the  entire  Shakkei  Pavillion  to  himself  with  all  the  equipment  inside ,  with  no  servants  nor  guards  so  he  was  most  likely  awaiting  the  day  his  mothers  would  return .        I  firmly  believe  he  was  preparing  each  day  to  properly  greet  them,  which  also  requires  basic  skills .

#* . ⊹ 𝑇𝐻𝑂𝑈𝐺𝐻𝑇𝑆 𝑂𝐹 𝐿𝐼𝐺𝐻𝑇𝑁𝐼𝑁𝐺 › ooc . #I much more enjoy giving him SOME actual connections to EiYae rather than making them ever so distant and unavailable #plus! the reisou attire perfectly lines up with ootomo no kuronushi becoming the guardian of the snow-bound barrier #guarding the sakura tree and the afterlife while still being a villain undercover #Kabukimono having no skills does make sense. don't get me wrong. owning it all to humans to teach him etc #but I prefer him to give him the arteasian skills and the fighting skills to act as a base for him to embody both makoto's and ei's roles #to have the skills necessary to both enamore the people and protect them! #this is also why I think him being denied the position of a god/shogun and meeting the people of tatarasuna #inspired him to train to be the gonguji! this way he would also be close to his mothers as well. #not to mention he most likely wanted Ei's attention the most as oppose to Yae's even if Yae knew more about his life and knew about #his new life in Tatarasuna. his new life with Niwa... which could had been the moment depicted in the flashback (“set him free?”)
