The garden grows from your guests’ happiness.
The happier the yokais,
the faster your flavors bloom. 🌿

5/5 In our game, that territorial chaos has a cost: when too many Kappa share a bath, they drain the flavor right out of it.
Too many cooks spoil the broth. Too many Kappa spoil the water. 🥒🛁

4/5 Kappa are also deeply territorial. Put several together in the same space and the rivalry kicks in fast: each one asserting dominance, disrupting the peace around them.

1/5 Did you know?
In Japanese folklore, Kappa are ancient aquatic creatures lurking in rivers and lakes. Humanoid, scaled, with a tortoise shell on their back,webbed hands... and a water-filled dish on top of their skull. Their only weakness. 🐢

Field notes on Kappas:
✅ Love matcha
✅ Very cozy in groups
❌ Absolutely destroy the flavor of the bath

Iwana bōzu are said to dwell in mountain streams… but this one found something better 🛁

2/5 They come in two forms:
🔴 The Dai-Tengu: humanoid, with a long red nose, wings, dressed like a mountain monk.
🐦 The Ko-Tengu: more bird-like, with a beak, sharp talons, and feathers.
Same spirit, very different vibes.

3/5 For centuries, Tengu were seen as omens of war and punishers of the proud : especially corrupt Buddhist monks, who they'd drag into the mountains and drive mad. 🏔️

4/5 Their most famous legend? The great 12th-century warrior Minamoto no Yoshitsune was secretly trained in swordsmanship by Sōjōbō, the king of all Tengu, on Mount Kurama.
Even samurai had things to learn from them!

5/5 In our game, a Tengu will never settle at a bath alone. They'll only join if someone is already there.
Even ancient mountain spirits don't like bathing solo. 🛁👺

1/5 Did you know?
In Japanese folklore, Tengu are ancient supernatural beings living deep in mountains and forests. Half-human, half-bird, they exist somewhere between gods and demons.

During the day, the bathhouse rests.
The Shiisa guards the entrance…
but even guardians need sleep.

Tengu refuses to sit alone.
If a bath is empty… they’ll ask for a different one.

Antes de volverme famoso diré, trans rights, BLM, y fuck AI.
A partir de ahí, todo lo que no se alinee a esas tres cosas es odio, corrupción y fascismo.

Supongo que te has leído el salseo también 🍿

Yo soy el Shento supongo

😔 perdon

Miren miren soy famoso

Si me responden los hijos de su madre

Gracias al teletrabajo por volverme tetón

Una tiene pensamientos de comprarse un boli 3D para soldar toda esta mierda sin perder la cabeza

También es verdad

Quien sino

Yo me vine aquí para leer a las dos personas que me importan y dejar de leer a turbo nazis que tenga un buen dia
