oh yeah a more in depth (tentative) rundown of tsubaki bday. very loose paraphrasing

q: early on, we saw sakura and tsubaki hanging off of nobimaru's arms. i was wondering about this, since it doesnt show up later.

a: when nobimaru met sakura and tsubaki, sakura commented that he was a "handsome city man", so tsubaki, wanting to one-up sakura, began to come on to him, and so sakura did the same in response. neither of them actually have any interest in nobimaru, and he knows this, so he doesn't care.

q: tsubaki and sakura often insult each other, I was wondering about the nature of their relationship

a: tsubaki has a very distorted affection for sakura, so even if she thinks sakura is cute, she can't say it, because she believes to admit it = losing. she wants to be superior to sakura, so she bothers her. she has a moraharu (moral harassment) type of personality.

sakura, growing up sheltered and confident in herself, has a thick enough skin that she's not bothered by it, but needs to fire back because of her pride. being a sweet girl, she's only mean because of tsubaki lol.

their friendship works because of sakura's deep heart

q: tsubaki seems quite studious, and her outfit resembles a school uniform, is she a student?

a: no, it's just plain clothes, which might look like a school uniform to us. its been a short while since she escaped and was picked up by Nobimaru, so she doesn't have time. She is the sort to seek knowledge, but most of her information comes from Haru, or books from the village, but they probably contain biased information. Once she escaped, she used the internet to figure out how the world works.

I think she would like to be a student. If she was found by Inugami and not Nobimaru, maybe her fate would be different.

also i think it adds an interesting new lens to the ishimori clan massacre. dont get me wrong it was still terrible and i hope kon gets to reunite with oina however from an inari deconstruction pov

inari was a commoner in the village. the lowest of the low. her entire life was dictated by the religion (the same religion that led her to giving up her son because it would destroy his ability to be anything else) and her sister was raised to the status of an incarnation of their god (mikuzu/tamomo-no-mae)

the ishimori clan (guardians of the killing stone/bewitching stone/actively stated to have tamomo-no-mae's resentment and possibly even her body sealed into it) was revered as a holy priest-like class for being entrenched in the energy of the killing stone from birth, and the clans exchanged reciprocal respect.

when inari ate them (note: she says she ate their power as well, hence her reason for keeping kon alive) she consumed their holiness for her own and then took it a step further by eating oina and even the remains of tamomo-no-mae. she ate her god to become a god (changing her name from Ii to Inari). its so interesting. she has one-upped the incarnation birthright of yone by explicitly targeting the very thing that created that birthright

[likeadog]

i think it could be a really solid guess that nobimaru is inaris son but in that case it does seem like the baby has her hair color so??? but regardless. inari milf status CONFIRMED
