Chapter I: Death foretold. Lechior, an ancient warrior of olden tales believed to be cursed into the body of a beast as punishment for his pride, was doomed to a certain death from the moment his human body morphed into the body of a creature. On the dreaded day, his corpse became a blessing for one lonely and strange, forest-dwelling hermit.
(A first little snippet of the story of my ocs. I'd like to finally reveal it in a few parts, as I've been working on it for a very long time and wasn't sure whether to post it. Excuse my shitty writing - it's just trying to set some mood.)

Arnold Böcklin (Swiss, 1827-1901) - St. Anthony Preaching to the Fish (1892)
Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns
Part of Reigen’s bit as a ‘psychic’ is that he finds people with problems that they have attributed to Cursed Spirits, such as, lack of sleep, stiff shoulders, etc. and solves them with conventional means.
Only calling on Mob, or Serizawa when a spirit is actually the problem.
This is similar to how witches work in the Discworld series, only they can actually use magic.
Witches like Granny Weatherwax avoid using magic as much as possible, mostly using headology (psychology), Boffo (basically kayfabe) and their skills, only resorting to magic when absolutely necessary.
Now that I think about it Reigen uses a lot of Boffo in his work too.

Thrilled I get to post my part of @ghostsharkpress ‘s transology zine before pride month ends. Our prompt was to recontextualize a formative childhood cartoon through the lense of transness/gncness.
These are thoughts I’ve had spilling around in my head for a while and seeing how important Treasure Planet was for me as a kid I thought it would be perfect. I always struggled with the fact I don’t really have any older male guide or figure to learn myself from so as a kid I tried to mimic the masculinity of shows or my peers. Growing older and wanting to step out of boyhood has really been a journey of self discovery and self worth and I’m really proud of the person I’m becoming.

This is very possibly the best explanation for lack of realism in a tabletop RPG I've ever read.
