NAME: Tsukumogami

RARITY: ★☆☆☆☆

THREAT LEVEL: ★★☆☆☆ | Most are harmless or semi-harmless pranksters, but they can be problematic or deadly if ill-tempered.

HABITAT: Found anywhere there are people and objects to possess – usually this will be more populated areas but they can be found in rural areas too.

DESCRIPTION: Tsukumogami are spectral entities that can form around any object or tool that someone develops great care, deep need, loathing, or complex feelings for. Objects that have been around for a century are also likely to create them. The nascent tsukumogami possesses the object in question and resides inside of it, unable to leave or swap to another object. These objects can vary greatly, though many end up being “tools” such as beloved hammers, the chainsaw that killed your uncle, and your air fryer you rely on for most of your meals. Some others might be objects like clothes, vehicles, decor, and books. 

In contrast to most of these objects, tsukumogami are full of movement and often are quite expressive even without being able to speak. They may grow eyes or otherwise have features that function as and resemble eyes. While tsukumogami rarely outright want to kill people, some do, especially some of the known variants. For the most part, they like causing chaos and making things difficult for a chosen person, pretending to be a regular object around anyone else. They often feint attempts at murder to scare people, with some causing harm before backing off. Some do go through with it.

ABILITIES: The varied forms of tsukumogami allow for equally varied abilities. They can utilize any part of the object they possess, even without electricity, batteries, gas, or other things needed for power. This makes some incredibly dangerous if they’re ill-tempered, while others have fewer means to cause harm. All tsukumogami are capable of at least some flight, though those residing in heavier objects, such as cars, are very limited. Tsukumogami are very clever and will often plan out elaborate and long-term ways to get someone to become irritated, lose their sanity, or otherwise suffer.

WEAKNESS: Tsukumogami rely entirely on eyesight as their primary sense, being unable to hear. This means they can be caught unawares if someone isn’t in their field of vision. Similarly to tsukumogami being able to utilize the abilities of the objects they possess, they share the same weaknesses. This means some may be vulnerable to fire, others being taken apart, and so on. Though modern supernatural scholars typically consider “yokai” such as tsukumogami to be ghosts of a sort, they lack the weaknesses associated with many Western ghosts and thus are unaffected by salt or exorcisms.

OTHER VARIANTS:

Ittan momen: Long pieces of cloth such as scarves and pants are favorite forms of ittan momen, but any piece of fabric can become one of these tsukumogami, ranging from bed linens and scarves to mittens. These trouble-making floating clothes are liable to wrap themselves around people and strangle the life from them with great force. They also have a way of making themselves “sticky,” ensuring a victim has a difficult time pulling the cloth away from them as they’re being strangled. Ittan momen still retain all of the qualities of their fabric bodies, meaning they can be destroyed by fire, torn up, or destroyed through other means. A couple of individuals have claimed to befriend an ittan momen in their possession, with it being worn and coming to the owner’s defense at times (typically resulting in the death of whoever crosses them).

Monster truck: These monster trucks are not the ones you would pay to see. This term is applied to any land-based vehicle possessed by a tsukumogami, and they’re considered to be among the most dangerous variants, capable of causing mass casualties. Despite having no need to eat, monster trucks aim to devour humans. Many will pretend to be broken down at the side of the road, while others go on a rampage, chasing pedestrians through the streets and crashing into other cars. The interiors of these tsukumogami look like normal cars, but once someone is inside, they’ll realize the seat cushions are sticky with saliva and the walls thick with flesh. Slowly, the truck fills with digestive fluids, the victim being reduced to nothing in mere minutes.

Nurikabe: These tsukumogami have possessed, of all things, walls. Most are able to detach themselves from the rest of the wall or building, becoming fully mobile. They’re able to turn invisible, and are most known for standing in the middle of roads or paths to act as a barrier for anyone trying to walk or drive by. If someone taps the bottom part of the wall, the nurikabe will become frightened and visible, allowing the inconvenienced person to perceive them and simply walk past.

Garei: First described by Japanese exorcists, a garei is a painting, drawing, tapestry, or photograph that has become infused with a spark of the artist's spirit and taken on a life of its own. This is especially likely to happen if the artist was inspired by a muse, tormented by a mare’s nightmares, or some other supernatural influence. The artistic contents of a garei can spill out into the physical world at night but vanish at dawn.

Kinterwib: These tsukumogami choose to inhabit computers, smart phones, or other electronics. Some say kinterwibs are formed from the emotions of a person who has a particularly traumatic experience relating to the internet or technology. Often this is the person they choose to “haunt”. Kinterwibs will use their connection to the internet to hack anyone they please, with varying motivations. Given their full access to the internet and the person’s accounts, they can wreak full havoc on someone’s life. Kinterwibs seem to particularly enjoy chatting with people via social media and online shopping to the point of bankruptcy. They’ve been known to torment anyone who has been unkind to them online, including those who facilitated the negative emotions they originally sprang from. So maybe don’t pick fights on the internet you’re not ready to finish?

philosophical ask game: Lillian Garey?

This game is so extremely my shit, I never thought I would ever get to think about Frankfurt cases after I graduated.

SEND ME A WILDBOW CHARACTER YOU LOVE. I WILL TELL YOU WHICH PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT EXPERIMENT YOU SHOULD GET REALLY OPINIONATED ABOUT (SLASH DEVELOP A PSYCHOSEXUAL FIXATION ON)

Well the obvious answer is that Lillian fans would enjoy Bernard Williams' George the Chemist thought experiment: George is offered a position developing something he himself finds morally repugnant. He knows that if he doesn't take it, someone else who is more eager to get it developed will be hired, whereas if he was hired he could save lives by slowing it down. Williams claims that utilitarianism is wrong because it prescribes that George should take the job, whereas his integrity demands he refuse it.

That said I already answered with George the Chemist while talking about Taylor. So I'm gonna say that Lillian's reoccurring disconnect between what she wants and what she wants to want makes her a prime example of Frankfurt's model of first-order and second-order desires.

Sy's relationship with Lillian is interesting and I have nuanced and reasonable opinions on it but reading her interlude instead of his POV it really is just. That's not a fair or OK thing to do to a 14 year old girl! Stop! Get away from her!
