lowkey obsessed with kuro and shiro mujou. they're literally the 黑白无常 heibai wuchang of chinese folk religion, but re-imagined in a heian period japan setting so now they're shinigami, who were possibly themselves influenced by western concepts of the grim reaper (and kuro mujou's design reflects this, with his scythe). they're on like triple layers of folk religion psychopomp/death personification and i love it.

#onmyoji #kuro mujou #shiro mujou #text post tag #haven't onmyojiposted in a while bc i hit kind of a steep curve with the game & fell off #tfw the amount of grinding required exceeded the fun i was having with it. such is the nature of gacha i guess :(#but i am always thinking about Them #(also i keep seeing gifs from the yin-yang master movie (movies?) on my dash and going 👀👀👀)#(*eta: it's fucking HEIAN period not edo whoops)#(got my jpn historical periods confused bc iirc shinigami as human-like figures only entered japanese mythology around the edo era)
