The traditional name in Japan for the constellation Orion is Tsuzumi Boshi, which is a double-ended hourglass-shaped drum used in Kabuki theater that the star pattern resembles. The three belt stars represent the string tied around the drum in the middle. #FolkloreThursday

So enjoy!!

I have to give a shout out to @fawneyedgirl.bsky.social for looking through my feminist tale, and all around helping me to polish through my messiness. She has seen the heartache and strength. I would like to think of it as a tale of strength and hope amidst the horrors...

With all fairytales, it must end... so I am happy to share that I want you my #midokirin tale has ended its dance. This story was so special to me, like a lightning bolt captured in a bottle. A #feminist fairytale of strength and horror of womanhood... (1/🌾)

A woman lies back as food grows from her body. On the right is the sun god Amaterasu and on the left the moon god Tsukuyomi.

In Japanese mythology the food goddess Ukemochi invited the moon god Tsukuyomi to a special feast. When he arrived, the goddess produced the food for the meal from her body. She vomited up the fish, meat and rice. She then pulled even more food from her nose and rectum. Rather...

It has been forever since an update for I want you is up, ever since the passing of my grandma. This story is so dear to me which I have a feeling we are about to see its end.... So enjoy this chapter #midokirin #midoriko #kirinmaru

I would say, it was through watching Jesse Cox's playthroughs that occupied me through my first job which we have no one in the store, that made the happiest for me (And of course I read the books which is amazing)

I forget to gush about #Thewitcher3 , I was so floored by the writing of The Witcher 3 (And eventually fell in love with the books ),The characters, the lore, the worldbuliding is what I aspired as a writer, perhaps I should rewatch it to get my spark back? #10YearsofTheWitcher3

I am so sorry for the sporadic updates, I have entered my Writing Block era for What is a God to a Mountain, perhaps I could use some friends to chat about my story. Meanwhile I am making smaller stories, in hopes to get off my block #writing #novelwriting

A collection of cats in traditional dress in various poses. They are in the likeness of actors in plays at the time.

'Fashionable Cats Juggling Balls' by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (ca. 1841) is a single panel of a diptych print from a series titled 'Popular Plays Acted by Cats' which portrayed actors of the time as cats in order to circumvent the ban on depictions of actors.

💃THE WISTERIA MAIDEN🪩

'Fuji Musume' (藤娘) is a kabuki dance, first staged in 1826 at the Nakamura-za in Edo as one of a set of five dances. It is the only dance to have survived.
The idea was inspired by a piece of Ōtsu-e (大津絵) art, produced on the shores of Lake Biwa.

Glad this have healed that part of you, for me it was Buddy Daddies! It was sooo cute

This print depicts the Emperor and Empress Meiji in a boat on the Sumida River. Their court attendants are floating red sake cups on the river. Apparently they are viewing the cherry blossoms although they are not visible in the print.

'Sake Cups on the Water' - Toyohara Chikanobu, 1880.
