#yokai is why

[yokai-time]

So we’re looking at the yokai watch tag because of their so called new game that has ai backgrounds huh

[ladyloveandjustice]

I often think about how incredibly fit Natsume must be, yokai-induced sickliness aside. He spends 75% of his life running from yokai, through forests and mountains and all kinds of shit. Every day is a marathon for him, he arguably gets too much exercise (which might contribute to collapsing from exhaustion a lot. over exercising isn't good for you).

But imagine what a fast runner he must be. He's able to sometimes lose yokai despite their supernatural speed etc. And he's been doing this since he's a child? I just want an episode where it's time for track in gym class and everyone's expecting the kid who's constantly sick and exhausted to be the slowest one, but instead he just passes them all at warp speed. WHEN did he have time to get this in shape, isn't he always inches away from keeling over, his class in chaos. Nishimura and Kitamoto are the least surprised since they've seen him running before, but even they didn't think he was THIS fast., wow, what natural talent.

Actually, there should be a running gag where one of the many stressors Natsume faced over the years is track team coaches trying to constantly recruit him in most of the schools he goes to, so he's constantly trying to hide how fast he is because he can't be a burden and have the people he's living with PAY SPORTS EXPENSES omg :(( and also he wouldn't be able to show up for most of the meetings, so. And also he doesn't like most team sports (the real reason).

He's managed to keep it mostly under wraps in Yatsuhara, but then one day it's the sports day episode and Nishimura trips while carrying the baton as they always do and starts crying so Natsume's like "siiiiiiiigh fine don't worry Nishimura I've got this" and suddenly he's at the finish line. Thus his hellish lot of being hounded by the track coach begins anew, thanks a lot Nishimura.

My greatest writing regret is that Gaster canonically talks Like That, and I don't have the brain space or mental fortitude to write a whole fic of it.

Like yeah, maybe he's evil...or maybe he's afflicted with 'vernacular/grammatical pattern of a living jump scare' in an otherwise very friendly and non-violent person, and God that's just so fucking funny to me.

Okay so yall know how we keep turning Stan into animals and I already drew up a fox Stan and with the white hair he reminded me of a Kistune.

But what if after spending 5 years on the road he dies (let’s say from the car chewing) and get turned into a Kistune, (the god of yokai thinking Stan would make a good yokai) so he’s still roaming around and technically alive just not human

Plus he got the power to shapeshift

Mainly turn from Human to Fox but also change into a child or senior version of himself, plus he can change is form to male to female cause why not lol and he can possess people he just perfs not to.

Can control fire, and while he hides his tail and ears most of the time they do pop out sometimes when he is embarrassed or emotion are high

But his other transformation react to his emotions as well, like if he gets to sad he might turn to his child form without realizing it so he as to learn to keep his emotions in check so he can still look human and keep the whole yokai thing a secret.

While he dose interact with other yokai he can only go to the spirt world (yokai land) once a month sense he was made into a yokai and wasn’t “born” one as he was human once. But all the other yokai that were once human are pretty nice to him and he makes some good friends

Also he gets his name out there by being able to steal high value “human” goods and trades them for cool things he think ford might like

Now when dose he meet Ford come in you might ask…

Well ford goes through his normal route, except…no bill (sorry I couldn’t think how to beat him plus I’m not that good at writing lol, plus it’s hard to think of paranoid ford not trying to kill Stan sense Stan is technically a demon)

BUT there WILL be angst because Stan at this point has not been seen or heard in 8 years, and when Fiddleford finds out about Stan and how ford hasn’t talk to him you KNOW that southern family man gonna tell him he needs to see his twin and get his head out of his own ass.

So ford calls his mom but they haven’t heard from him in in 4 years (Stan called her year before he died) so ford dose the only thing he can think of…. Ask a magical all knowing mail box where his brother is but he doesn’t ask that exact he ask “how is Stan” and then on the same paper “where is he”, it responds “ dead and in a better place’ ( Stan was in yokai world when ford ask this)

Ford can’t believe it …..and he won’t, he the ask “where did Stan die, and how?” The mailbox showing the location of the car where Stan was trapped.

After some EMOTIONAL shit Ford travels to the location only to see the beat up car and there’s a person there….but why would someone be out here in the middle of the desert… unless….

The person turns his head to see the same face he looks at in the mirror except his hair is longer and he looks older and the other man opens his mouth to say “ Sixer…?”

Queue ford thinking Stan is a ghost and wondering how haunting a car is a ��better place” and Stan having to not breakdown at the fact his brother showed up to his “grave” on the one day Stan goes to see it and that Ford might actually give a shit about him.

While Stan try’s to hide the facts he’s isn’t human anymore ford catches that on real quick that Stan is not human and the ever paranoid man thinks this is some dessert hallucination but Stan gets fed up and punches him straight in the jaw while saying “THIS FEEL REAL ASSHOLE”!!!

Then ford run into Stan with a fierce hug and starts to cry and Stan well Stan doesn’t know what to do, he’s been having to stunt his emotions for 3 years now and know his brother, his twin, his hugging him, crying and apologizing to him and….. it’s so much that he can’t handle it

While in the hug ford hear a “poof” and suddenly Stan is gone but a quick look down sees that…it’s still Stan but when his was 12 and …. He’s crying and ford without a second thought grabs Stan and holds him, holds him like if lets go he’ll be gone and they stay that way till Stan is done

After they’re done crying stan turns back to his normal self and explains what happened, while ford is horrified and feel guilty about the situation he also is glad to know that his brother is still here and of course offers him to stay with him in gravity falls

So you have Stan going on adventures with ford and protecting him also showing and telling ford about yokai and bringing him to the yokai world at one point, and for showing Stan some of the crazy things he’s seen and Fidds is there to and Emma May (they move to gravity falls with Ford)

Now

Feel free to change anything about this concept or story and use it to how ever you like, just make sure to tell me about it because I can’t write but I’d love for someone who can to write something with this

This has to be my favorite picture of whisper.

Year of the Snake

Under the cold moon's light, a melody was cast into the frigid winds, until it reached the terrain where the realm of the physical and spiritual conjoined. Roused from their dormancy, the Uwabami slithered past mangled trees and the overgrown wilderness for the source

.. and found themselves charmed. 🐍

[contacthigh520]

ok ive been thinking about this since like chapter 12 and chapter 16 is just around the corner so:

here’s my theory about how clan member contracts work + the contract powerscale 📝

so huey signs a contract with someone and they each have to fulfill it. simple enough. in return for fulfilling the contract, huey gives them a fraction of his essence (which culminates in a gemstone on their body) and they go on a roadtrip to fix the altars every once in a while

each original clan member signed their contract for a reason. we have pretty good guesses for some of them quincy: to protect the tribe/tribe’s land (pretty much confirmed as of razor’s edge) olivine’s ancestor: to assist(?) the church dante’s ancestor: to protect the solaria yakumo’s ancestor: to protect his loved ones (see: misty vale) what happens when someone doesn’t fulfill their contract? based on rei’s flashback in ch. 12, i’m guessing that the body part their gemstone is connected to + their essence begins to go haywire. rei mentions he ‘never chose to enter any damn contract’ while his gem huey also mentions that rei must learn to ‘harness the power’ he was given. it seems like part of that ‘harnessing’ is using huey’s power in service to the original contract.

rei, it seems, was not doing that. this is in contrast to someone like quincy who spends a great deal of time protecting and aiding the forest tribe and, likewise, possesses an incredible amount of power.

i think olivine is in a similar position (though he doesn’t know it). he’s got a lot of control and power and, unlike yakumo and edmond, his gem wasn’t cloudy when eiden met him (although, his sr also covers his gem with a decorative gem so?) (at any rate, iirc, eiden doesn't notice anything wrong with his gem). (EDIT: i have been informed that eiden does comment on olivine's gem in his h-story room when he sees his real gem and he says it’s clear (healthy gem = good essence health). OLIVINE WIN.) olivine's ancestor (likely) asked for power to care for/protect the church and olivine has been doing that (monster semen not withstanding. we’ll get to that.📌) + regulating with the altar. the more a clan member ‘fulfills the purpose of their contract’, the more power they reap from it. it’s hard to say this definitively because some of the original contracts are very ambiguous.

this puts quincy + olivine + kuya(?) in the upper tiers edmond + yakumo + g/karu(?) are in mid tier

the familiars + blade are N/A (never signed a contract)

and then bottom tier are rei and dante. who also happen to be the only main clan members who have been conspicuously sick as part of their character rei, we know spent an ample amount of time doing something outside of klein (i.e. not fulfilling his ancestor’s contract). so, we know where his dysregulation came from and it likely didn’t occur while he was a kid based on the few childhood flashbacks we get from him. his problem was mostly getting megabullied 😔✊ but what about dante? how did he fail his contract as infant, straight from the womb??? (assuming that was the cause of his sickness)

well. when he was born, solaria wasn’t doing very well. and, honestly, his parents weren’t doing a great job running the show. it also probably didn’t help that he was stopped from doing anything that could help solaria since he was isolated to palace grounds.

that is until the night of the riot when he ran and sought out the elemental spirit of fire's trial.

we don’t know exactly when dante ‘stopped being sick’ but i’d hazard a guess that it was after his trial with the elemental spirit of fire. the essence + power he gained from the contract with the elemental spirit of fire (i.e. his agreement to protect the fire territory) stabilized his essence and thus, his health. his newfound health (plus a lot of training) gave him the strength to improve solaria and become what he is today. (as an aside, similar to how kuya provides a lot of insight on huey, dante provides a lot of insight on contracts and communication with the elemental spirits. his contract is directly compared to the contract scrolls used by huey (by blade in chapter 10 part 1). in that chapter we learn that failure to fulfill his contract will result in his death. otherwise, we see that he gains power and favor from the spirits.)

even though solaria has improved a lot, i think dante's essence from huey might be permanently effected given that in sunburst fever, he can’t use magic w/o the elemental spirits. in general, he seems to struggle with outputting essence compared to other clan members.

tl;dr: huey’s contracts make you more powerful if you do what you said you’d do (or your ancestor said that they’d do) and, if you don’t, wuh oh… 📌 so olivine and the monster semen. yes, he did try to sabotage the church, so why didn’t he face some kind of huge consequence for breaking the contract? well… he also protected the church and, despite trying to harm it, he did his best to maintain it. so, what might seem like a huge breach of contract, is actually alright. the church didn’t face any major harm and it was protected. bada-bing-badaboom also, a possible question might be ‘so what about the mid-tier guys?’. so, yakumo and edmond don’t appear(?) to be actively fulfilling their contracts (though yakumo is well on his way).

what’s important is that they aren’t violating their contract. from when we meet them, it seems like ‘neglect of a contract’ does lead to degradation of one’s gem (cloudiness of the gem, poor condition in general) and would eventually lead to illness (like rei), but it’s a much slower process. it’s a good thing eiden regulated with them when he did.

bzzt bzzt new soukoku au dropped, this time featuring YOKAI

dazai is a kitsune who lives in the forest and watches over the shrines of his predecessor (that he lowkey inherited), chuuya is an oni who accidentally d worded a guy on one of those shrines and then got stuck with a fox forever

chuuya's design is mostly his oni design from mayoi's pandemonium night, i just added the corruption tattoos

(au skk backstory info under the cut)

oni are servants of hell and, before they were oni, were the most vile and sinful of humans on earth. as oni, their jobs are to punish humans that are JUST short of being awful enough to become oni as well, and they can eat souls so that's fun

chuuya, for a long time, works with other oni (it's the sheep) to eat, seal away and punish souls. he meets dazai one day, an annoying and secretive kitsune in the forest, accidentally gets a mess on his shrine and dazai decides to annoy him for the rest of time

then one day, out of nowhere, dazai sets all the souls of the sinners loose in the name of an ambiguous "greater good", and offs the sheep to make sure they don't seal up the sinners again. he tries to do the same with chuuya, but chuuya is fueled by his anger and.......... retaliates

chuuya's anger summons fire, he leaves dazai engulfed in them, and that's how dazai gets his bandages in this.

chuuya also swears that he'll hate dazai forever for what he's done, which, like, he does, but it's that typical soukoku hate where hate = i want to punch and kick you stupid and then make out with you

and a hundred or so years later dazai is back to annoying chuuya like normal anyway because this is skk, but now they just have more baggage
