Dang.
I feel so useless right now cause i haven't drawn anything original in 93586 years.
Hey, if you like folklore so much, PLAY PERSONA 4. A HUGE part of it is based on jap folklore. srsly.
There's Izanagi, Susano, Sakuya and AMATERASUUUU.
Yeah.
This is not a ploy to get more people to fangirlie over P4 with me. No its not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i know. this has nothing to do with persona 4 whatsoever, just mentioning some stuff that may be relevant to the topic ;D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly! Now I will NOT send sublime messages to tell you to FINISH P3 and PLAY P4 because it is AWESOMENESS.
Not doing that at all.
