hey guys! hayle here, one of two admins on this blog! so i'm in the editing phase of a mahito x m!reader fic involving the yawata no yabushirazu forest in ichikawa, japan, so i thought i'd make a little post including some research i've done, as well as some information regarding some of the devices mahito and reader use to communicate with the spirits in the forest they're in. read up, and feel free to reblog this to spread the info to friends!

the yawata no yabushirazu forest, commonly shortened to "yawata forest," or "the forbidden forest," ichikawa is a sizeable and fairly developed city just outside tokyo, less than half an hour away, with an estimated population of 500,000 people. ichikawa lies in the western kiba chen prefecture of east-central honshu, japan. ichikawa is located along the edo river, and across the river borders tokyo to the west, and is also located just northwest of funabashi.

the yawata forest is home to many spiritual legends, many of which are the primary reason the forest was given its name. one fairly prevalent theory about the yawata forest is that it's involved with taira no masakado, who the japanese label to be the first samurai.

another largely effective reason the forest is so famous is because of the large expanse of trees' funny little habit of whisking people away to never be seen again, which leads me to a comment mahito makes in the story: " 'did you know that this forest is part of what inspired spirited away? the studio ghibli movie?' mahito says softly, grinning."

mahito was correct in making this comment; a considerably large piece of the inspiration for studio ghibli's animated movie spirited away was the yawata forest's silly little habit of, essentially, repeated mass kidnapping.

the story in question involves some moderately heavy paranormal content, a large part of which consists of mahito and reader using some paranormal investigation devices such as the ovilus, the spirit box, the electromagnetic field (emf) reader, and more. now don't mind me while i explain the main uses of each device that appears in the story.

the ovilus - the ovilus is a communication device invented in god knows when by bill chappel. the device used by professional and amateur/just-for-fun explorers and ghost hunters in paranormal investigations. the device works by detecting electromagnetic energy- which may appear in the form of, for example, voices that living ears can't detect- then assigning a number to it that corresponds with a word in the dictionary. spirits and other entities (ie: demons, poltergeists) use the ovilus to attempt conversations with the living people who are operating the device. some alternatives to the ovilus that operate similarly are the spirit box, the hexcom, and the polterscript.

the estes method - the estes method is a method of interworld communication used by some of the more daring explorers and ghost hunters. the method was created by karl pfeiffer during his investigation of the stanley hotel in estes park, colorado, and is now a widely popular method of communication that many people use. the method requires two or more people in order for the attempt(s) to work, and it involves one- sometimes two, as seen in some of sam and colby's videos- people putting on noise-cancelling headphones that are connected to a spirit box. the person(s) wearing the headphones are also blindfolded. the other member(s) of the group ask the spirits questions and attempt general conversations with the spirits in the room or area, and the spirits or entities may choose to or not to use the spirit box to speak into the headphones, sometimes in response to questions asked by the living side of the conversation, and the wearer(s) of the headphones and blindfold repeat every word they hear. the estes method is very effective, and many questions asked receive an answer, but sometimes the words they spirits say are random, and sometimes they're unsolicited tid bits of information corresponding to the spirit's death, their opinions, their goals, etc.

the séance method - the séance method is another common communication method used by explorers and paranormal investigators. this method is sort of similar to the estes method, but this one fortunately doesn't involve cutting off people's two most important senses. the seance method involves setting candles in a circle on a table or floor and lighting them, and it's not uncommon for people to put cups of water and relevant objects inside the circle and surround the circle of candles and/or sometimes the area directly around them with a line of salt as an attempt to keep potential poltergeists and malevolent spirits at bay of physical contact; most people don't want to be scratched and burned by demons posing as little girls with depressing death stories. the séance method has been used many times in historically famous attempts at conversation with spirits, demons, poltergeists, etc., and seems to have a lightly sporadic rate of failure versus success in comparison to the estes method, which almost always works, whether it's just the spirit box spewing shit or an actual spirit.

Hello folks! I came back with something a little different and made a post on my favorite lgbtq+ webcomics/comic books/graphic novels. Below is going to be a little bit more information about the story and where to find them! 

Favorite Lesbian Films

Favorite Lesbian/Gay books

High-Class Homos

Momozerii is incredible!! Such a cute drawing style and the story is awesome! Every main character is a part of the LGBT+ community and is so lovable. I highly recommend this one. The comedy and the characters are so well done and if you want some angst? It’s there and you can find that story on Momozerii’s Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/momozerii/

Their Story

Lesbians??Gays?? Respecting women juice AND comedy?? I love this story so much and it’s still ongoing. I can’t wait to read the rest of it!! The art style is beautiful and the friendships/relationships between the characters are so charming. This manhua has made me double over in laughter many times before.  Another highly recommended series. You can actually find it on Tumblr! But there are other locations as well.

I have been a fan of Hootsweet’s works for a while now so I might be a little biased BUT she has an incredible style and always creates charming characters. Not only that I am a sucker for her backgrounds and set design (it always sets the right mood). It is currently in hiatus but Hootsweets made a post on how she is getting back to it! She was planning on some revisions but if you’re still curious to dive into this magical world you can read it on the official website here: http://hexcomic.com/

You can also find Hootsweets here on Tumblr and Instagram!

Bloom

Oh boy, let me tell you this one is just too cute for its own good. The color style is just perfect for the story and the characters are written realistically and lovingly. You know when it’s a rainy day and you just have that warm feeling in your chest cause you’re cuddled up next to the window just watching the rainfall (maybe it's just me) but this comic radiates that feeling. Sadly I don’t believe there is an online source for it but you can buy it elsewhere. It is available on Amazon but if you’re against Amazon there are these other locations as well:

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Bloom-Kevin-Panetta/dp/1250196914

Thrift Books: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/bloom_kevin-panetta/19110476/#isbn=1626726418&idiq=31037037

The Prince and the Dressmaker

This book was talked about for a little bit on Tumblr but it still deserves recognition! When I make a post like this I really like to include more stuff with gender instead of just sexuality or lack thereof. According to the author, she has always described Sebastian as Genderqueer but she has said: “If a reader feels that this story is just the first step to Sebastian discovering they’re trans, or if they feel Sebastian is a cis male that likes to dress up I’m happy with all of that!” Source

That aside it is a wonderful book that still deserves support!

Princess Princess After Ever

This was so cute!! Another WLW comic that is good for kids as well! Same thing with The Prince and the Dressmaker. Katie writes such cute stories and I highly recommend checking out her other stories like The Tea Dragon Society.

I have a small headcanon that even though Mouse is the wild one, Cole always ends up being the one covered in dirt and getting scraped up by the end of the day. xP 

Hope you have a lovely day, Sweets.
