Ikesen OCs Continued: Chiyome

“I will train you, if you possess the resolve. I expect you to devote everything you have to succeed.”

Introductions

Chiyome is a popular figure in Japanese lore as the creator of the kunoichi. She actually makes a brief appearance in Ikesen canonically in Shingen’s route, during his POV when MC first arrives in Echigo. Historically, she was married to Shingen’s nephew, and Shingen took her in after his nephew died.

For Ikesen, since Shingen isn’t old enough to have a nephew married to a 20-something-year-old woman without it being UH YIKES, this Chiyome was married to a cousin of Shingen’s. She’s still widowed though, and joined Shingen’s house afterwards. Now that she’s a single lady, and given that she loves other ladies, Chiyome is an available love interest for MC(s). :3c

Though Shingen sheltered Chiyome to honor a promise to his cousin, it turned out to be a stroke of luck for him as well – Chiyome possesses impeccable court manners, perceptiveness, allure, and an underlying iron will. Even then, she had extensive relationships and good will among women of varying stations. As Chiyome warmed to Shingen personally and began to trust him as a good-hearted and effective leader, she made more use of her talents to assist him. And, realizing her invaluable assets, Shingen gave her a monumental task: to create a network of entirely female informants who could hide in plain sight and gather information in ways his Mitsumono could not. Chiyome dedicated herself to this work, in part to help Shingen, but more passionately to help the women of a war-ravaged period take more control of their fates. Thus the kunoichi were formed, and they spread rapidly throughout Japan.

Mutuals get a lot of love on this site but I think we should also appreciate the random followers who you see in your notes regularly. The ones who you'll probably never end up following but they like and reblog almost every post you make. The ones who you see and go "hey I recognize that person!! they love my posts!" every time they show up in your notifications.

Let's hear it for Blorbo from my Notes.

He’s Right And He Should Say It.

He’s right and he should say it.

Prison Abolitionist Killer / Coffee Shop AU

Owns a small chain of cat cafes (as yet unnamed -- thus “COFFEE LOGO” lmao)

Has two cats who are his babies and so not up for adoption. They’re brothers

Passionate about reforming the justice system to focus on rehabilitation

Also passionate about good coffee, tea, and pastries -- partners with companies committed to ethical trade and with local bakeries

Also also passionate about cats going to good homes, including education about feline behaviors and needs for new cat guardians

Hires exclusively people with prison records and is dedicated to connecting them with social resources, as well as opportunities for education if they would like to move on to a different industry

Believes there’s no such thing as “unskilled” labor and every worker deserves a living wage

Donates to community bail funds

Runs book drives to send literature (as well as news printouts and letters) to prisoners

Has more typical cafe events, too -- like open mics and sip-and-paint nights (no alcohol at these, though)

Gives really good hugs

Has a knife he’s named “Kindness” just in case he ever needs to be... extra persuasive when protecting his staff, business, and loved ones

There’s still a lot I don’t know about him yet since he’s brand new, but he’s my friend and I think he should be your friend, too. :)

[Thanks to @insanelyadd for the ideas that sparked his creation!]

Man, I never thought I’d have anything good to say about Twitter, but their Undyne art game is simply unmatched here on tumblr, unless I’m just not following the right blogs, which may be the case.

I should really draw more (any) Undyne... (and Alphys)
