Status Updates From 空色勾玉 (勾玉, #1)

Y’all what’s even happening right now

It's beautiful how this deep normality settles down over me
I'm not bored or unhappy, I'm still so strange and wild

You're in the wind, I'm in the water
Nobody's son, nobody's daughter

Tbh this also reminds me a lot of the tale of the bamboo cutter (and by association the Ghibli film)

The fact that the slur in this book is Grounded Spiders—

Omg I’m loving that the world creation is actually based on Izanagi and Izanami??? It’s bringing me back to when I had to make that hour long presentation on Japanese mythology 😅😅 I’ve been starving for Japanese mythology for ages and I didn’t even know this had so much of it in it 😭😭
