#MoriNo I keep forgetting to add mermaids to MKR. Junna is so water type it's a waste not to have a variety of fish and fish-adjacent entities in there.

#MoriNo DAMMIT I just learned a lot more info about haunted places in Tokyo, now I gotta go and edit the first book of MKR AGAIN. I didn't know Sunshine 60/Ikebukuro was haunted enough that like, Gen X Edokko thing it has vibes so bad you shouldn't bother going there.
IDK I like 'bukuro!

#MoriNo I learned a lot about becoming a xian in Daoism today. In the case of Nuǎn, they started cultivating before Daoism existed. They’re aware most methods are fake snd wrong, but if you ask them why they haven’t tried correcting them, they will say “most people should not reach immortality :)”

#MoriNo one downside to MKR's Deep 3rd Person POV is that there are aspects of certain characters we never get to see, and also aspects of them we DO get to see that take away some of the intrigue. Like Shigoro actually being a hot mess. I suppose it replaces the intrigue with something else?

#MoriNo Concept - Nuǎn using Yao Years instead of the Gregorian Calendar. They like to have a little fun sometimes : )

#MoriNo YES, one more quick sweep of MKR book 1 (of 2) and that’s enough of editing that for a long time! Part 2 Part 2 Part 2!!!

#MoriNo now I’m thinking about how the INSTANT Junna figures out who he has a crush on, they are Shigoro’s new favorite person (again?) because now… now he can dump all of his emotions on them. Junna would be interested in any drama but this.

#MoriNo listneing to "suki" by yuri and thinking about how much resent Shigoro is swallowing over Junna not being there for him to cry to about suffering a long term crush on The Worst Man You Could Have A Crush On In Tokyo (Gen Z edition).
He's such a petty bitch lol

#MoriNo I was telling my therapist that my Hyperfixation Research Topic of the week was POTS and dysautonomia and she said “oh, are you writing again?”
I MIGHT NOT BE IN THE “WRITING STAGE” BUT I NEVER STOPPED. Unacceptable for people to think I’m not rotating MKR’s cast in my head 24/7.

#MoriNo... there is also a 100% chance Junna never got diagnosed with anything as a child just because their supernaturally ignorant parents were told by Doikawa or her dad that "the extreme fatigue in your strange nocturnal daughter is due to excess yin energy." Sounds legit, they thought!

#MoriNo unlike my two remaining Heisei Protags who are physically gifted af, Junna embodies lethargy. Not the grounded, but the ephemeral. Which is a cool way to say Ziya is a hyper-vigilant guard dog, Jimmy is a black lab stuffed in a Jack Russell terrier, and Junna is a fish.

#MoriNo Junna's lucky the have so much supernatural powers or they'd have gone to sleep in a ditch and not gotten out lol... they DID end up in the hospital several times!
There are some details of that journey I need to know but I won't write it because it was repetitive AND depressing lol

#MoriNo I am about to diagnose Junna with SO many poorly understood health issues that affect more women than men and have symptoms primarily related to blood pressure and fatigue, this has become my Hyperfixation of the Moment.
... but man, traveling those 2 years really could have killed them!

#MoriNo “Modern Kaidan Romance” would still be a good title even if Junna was working at a coffee shop instead of as an exorcist. It’s an anthology where Junna tells every customer a True Ghost Story for free with the drink (whether the customer asks or not lol)

#MoriNo also I listened to "Stardust Crusaders" too many times today and accidentally expanded on the Court TV chapters and had to compensate for making Takuto look cool by making Junna look cooler so MKR is really coming along nicely. Fatal Frame II remake adding a little flavor in there, good good

Me: yeah it's totally unrealistic that the Kamonnaizoku can find jobs in modern times. Maybe cursing people, but the hits? Nah.
Japan: we have a problem with yami baito being advertised on Twitter and LINE groups.
Me: ... I think I'd rather this be unrealistic.

#MoriNo double checking that when Shingon Buddhism says "sokushin jobutsu" they're not directly jumping to "sokushinbutsu" and meaning you have to become a mummy to hit Buddhism in your lifetime.
I REALIZED I'M NOT CLEAR ON THIS...

#MoriNo every time I learn something new about fox spirit lore in Japan, Fox Wedding gets another chapter. I've learned like fifteen different thing about fox spirit lore today.
This is what happens when I pay attention to Shigoro, oh my god.

#MoriNo listing all the things Junna has domain over when they reach kami rank (spoiler) and at first I was like “this is ridiculous, this is so many things” but then when you look at old pantheons, there are plenty of deities who have like dozens of things associated with them.

#MoriNo thinking of having Nuǎn commit some crimes between Ghosts Dream of Yomi and whatever I call the next part of MKR. Nuǎn is allowed to commit little a crime, as a treat.
(U think I'm joking but they drove and entire species of dragon to extinction.)

#MoriNo most diabolical thing about Shigoro is that he’s the one that says all the insulting shit Takuto repeats to Junna later, even tho Takuto takes credit by omission (Junna is aware of the dynamic tho).
Shigoro: Jun looks pretty in the right light!
Takuto: what light?
Shigoro: new moon 🌑

#MoriNo I wanted to write about these Idiots In Love and I grew both their family trees and those trees are full of drama and secrets… and Ukyō, left, is Junna’s distant cousin (neither of them know that tho). Subaru, right, has a bunch of siblings and they all got weird powers from the family kami.

#MoriNo Junna is probably reluctant to associate too much with Buddhism because their closest contact would be King Enma and he's a bureaucrat and they don't respect him (okay they do respect him but he's kinda scary and Junna is the type to say "Damn The Man" a lot).
