[Shukufuku (Blessing)], moving art piece by Shiori Matsura depicting kitsune Kuzunoha, in her human shape, lovingly embracing her young son (who will grow to become famous onmyoji Abe no Seimei.)
The shadow nicely echoes the famous ukiyoe “The Fox Woman, Kuzunoha, Leaving Her Child” by Yoshitoshi:
(I had a hard time getting in winter holiday mood this year... As I am writing this, I just can wish you and your loved ones the best on this Christmas day. Take care and let's hold on together <3)
happy olympic seimei day! six years ago, yuzuru hanyu won his second olympic title (and cemented his GOAT status) after a liberating performance of his free skate, seimei, to thunderous applause!
In 2020 at 4 Continents, he got the gold medal and won the last of the major international competitions in order to achieve the Super Slam - to this day, he's the only men single's skater to have it.
I love that despite how severely pathetic and cowardly (affectionate) Haruaki is, he is by no means stupid or an idiot. On the contrary, he’s really fricking intelligent. However, what’s the use of smarts when a good number of the times you are too wimpy to even think coherently.
But, once you take away that cowardice and emotionality factor of his, you realise how in canon scarily intelligent he is. And also very cunning.
[I say intelligent to point of scary because back when his souls separated into multiple parts, the soul that represented his intelligence quite literally planned on essentially killing/destroying the other parts of his soul and taking total control of the body. Because with those other parts he recognized he became weird and irrational]
This is one of the things that makes me SO interested about Haruaki’s previous life as Abe-no-Seimei. Because Seimei did not have that cowardice or those ‘irrational desires’ that Haruaki does in his current life. So given the way we know how deviously cunning Haruaki’s is capable of being (+ what we have already seen of Seimei’s smarts), and just in general how very shady Seimei is portrayed to be, I am quite curious as to what type of person he actually was
Anyways, Haruaki is my bbg and no part of him ever does any wrong (even the shenanigans his intelligence was up to during the trip to Kyoto) 🫶

I love how Senhime retains her witty remarks and bite-y personality all while being regal 😂
Also that comment where she practically says Seimei you’re no Yao Bikuni. That was another *ouch* moment for Seimei he should’ve brought Yao Bikuni with him XD
