#Unrelated for SOME reason I thought it was Tokoyomi instead of Yami

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR MUSHISHI S/I!! Where did he come from?? Does he have a relationship with Ginko or anyone else?? I bet he researches Mushi, right? That seems on brand with you and your curious lil brain

Aaaaah you'd think right. I am once again answering an S/I ask with Actually I have two different Self Inserts for this fandom fdkgjfdkg

The other one, an adult who lives alone and runs a hot spring in the mountains Ginko regularly visits does Research Mushi, and writes about them in his novels. He's part of the ever growing Aro Ginko Polycule, I've talked about him a few times, he's not interesting, just kind of domestic and in love with Ginko who pays him a visit once a year or so.

A lot of my younger self inserts are much more Head Empty than my older ones, the one your asking about especially

He's a kid inflicted by the Ginko who just showed up one day in Adashino's village. Adashino assumed him some sort of love child of Ginko's and sent a letter telling him to get his ass over here as soon as possible.

He appears about 7 or 8 years old, but it's hard to tell sense his knowledge seems toddler like. He doesn't know how to use chop sticks, or what he can and can't eat, or how to dress himself, and doesn't speak or seem to understand much of what anyone says to him.

He has a bad tenancy to grab Mushi by the handful and shove them in his Tokoyami filled eye, which is what lead Doctor Adashino to bandaging up the opening, sense he assumed that probably wasn't a good thing to be doing.

In the few weeks it took Ginko to arrive, Adashino got pretty attached to the kid, getting rather use to parenting his larger than most toddler. However, like Ginko, if in one place for too long Mushi will begin to swarm around him, making it dangerous for him to stay in the villager, or anywhere for that matter.

It took a lot of convincing, but Ginko eventually agreed to take the kid on as his apprentice, taking him on his travels and teaching him the dangers and nuances of Mushi.

Basically, he becomes Ginko and Adashino's adopted son over time. Whenever he gets to talking he calls Adashino "Papa", but Ginko remains just Ginko or some form of "Master"/"Sensei" when he's learning. He also calls Tanyuu variations of "Mama" or "Auntie", with Tama being "Grandma" exclusively. He doesn't like Kumado at all.

#Emile's Arts #Self insert #I haven't come up with a name for him really because realistically Adashino would name him something Japanese #And eeeeeeeeeeh I don't like doing that very much #The reason behind his whole Toddler-like behavior is he's a foreigner #A little European boy who got separated from his Trader parents while traveling and lost all his memories #He has no clue what anyone is saying ever and doesn't really know how to speak either #Because when he tries when he's alone it sounds weird sense he's hearing Japanese all the time #He thinks he's speaking gibberish or something's wrong with him #So he stays quiet #Mushishi takes place in between the Edo and Meiji periods so around when European trading was permitted #But it's still a rather sheltered old fashioned country #Thus why Ginko has his more European style clothes #Anyway he hates the Obi and takes it off as often as he can #And is constantly just putting shit in his eye hole #The Tokoyami appreciate it #Unrelated for SOME reason I thought it was Tokoyomi instead of Yami #Even thought I KNOW Tokoyami is like darkness so that makes more sense #I dunno where the yomi came from #My other S/I is romantic (kinda) with Ginko where this one is Familial #It's also a hard reboot of the S/I 12 year old me made when I first watched the show #Thankyou for asking
