idc that it's corny im bringing this back to your feed😏

this epi felt like a metaphor for trauma. when you're healing from something you need to give yourself time and space. the rain will eventually stop. it won't last forever. and you can't force it either. got to wait it out. as for your close ones, they will wait for you. cheering you on. every journey in life is important, specially the ones you have to go through alone.

and ofc ginko will be there. just passing through but giving you all the soft encouragement and strength you need. trying to ease your pain. ♥♥♥

we all need a ginko

I adore Mushishi. It's like.

Here are some things inherent to the world around you. They can be found in nature, in the home, or in you. They may be a disease, an animal, or a person. All at once. You can speak to them. They might answer. You will not understand each other. The ground under your feet will flourish and your neighbors will suffer for it. They will live in your eyes and your ears and they will gorge themselves on your senses. Your wife was missing for a month; here she is sitting next to you, she is beautiful, and did she ever really leave? These things will bless you: they will comfort you, give you everything you ever truly needed, until you dissolve in your joy. The rainbow you saw at the waterfall had it's colors backwards. Your grandmother died last year,but she is your age and she lives in your house. These things do not seek to harm you. They don't seek anything at all. These vibrant, fascinating horrors are in every nook and cranny of the earth. They are the closest thing to Life itself and they do not care about you. You can not see them. You have the terrifying pleasure of living with them.

the way a single work of art can be perceived in so many different ways. And have so many different meanings to different people ❤️‍🩹 makes me really happy. I love this take on mushishi. I've never thought of it in this way. Maybe because I've never had any chronic disease. I love seeing new things in the familiar

I love how Mushi-shi (the anime) depicts chronic illness through the paranormal and abstract. Ginko is literally a medicine man, and his clientele are closer to suffering an affliction than experiencing a haunting. He doesn't "exorcise the demons through prayer;" he treats the condition the person is suffering from, which often involves removing the mushi, but sometimes they need to be lived with, and sometimes even a successful treatment can leave lasting damage from the time the mushi resided in the person's body. It's the best depiction of chronic illness I've seen portrayed through an abstract lense. I'm not even learning anything about myself or my life by watching it; I just understand and appreciate each case the show portrays. Part of what sets it apart is that Mushi-shi is very good at depicting the emotional toll of chronic illness without moralizing it. Sometimes chronically ill people die of depression from their conditions, sometimes after you're cured you miss or take joy in certain elements of the disease, having a friend play with you in quarantine is invaluable for your spirit but comes at the deadly risk of contagion. I'm only 4 episodes in but it's really resonating with me. Teenage chronically ill me definitely couldn't handle this show, but 25 year old me loves it.
