Not sure for the eye tag, I saw the loporrits described as having "doe eyes", but apparently it's an unused tag, so another one might be more fitting.
I'm not willing to negotiate about the "carrot smoothie" tag.

    Our MC is an Artist.
    And from my experience with artists in my family and ex-girlfriends; they're fuckin terrible with procrastination.

    Spicy's an excellent artist and seems pretty on the ball, so what's Clumsy's excuse?

    A little Nun or a regular Nun can only master a certain number of animals.
    The Mother Superior is Mistress and friend of every animal.

    Froggy Nun: "The Grandmother Superior has it under control."
    Clumsy Nun: "Call the troops back."
    Bear Cub: "Okay."
    Hungry Nun & Grumpy Nun: "WHAT THE DUCK?!"

    It was decent but a bit disappointing, the whole he rejects kakita but gets rejected by his sister so he goes back for kakita felt kind of like "oh well I guess I'll go for the consolation prize".

    Oh, so I'm not the only one who thought that.

    no offense to anyone but I honestly don't understand what's so realistic about a combining mecha with a alt head that's pretty much a over sized helmet with excess empty space

    Nothing at all. Hence why it's called the "Super Robot type-X".

    Also the HeadMask is not only the Banpresto logo but also a laser cannon.

    This implies that Kaguya knows what an employment contract looks like. Has she gone job hunting before?

    She is from the moon and they were more advanced then humans for a long time. Wouldn't be surprised if she saw one before

    Recently, I read UFO ReimuA's story again, I think Kogasa's past is interesting. She wasn't thrown away, her owner forgot to take her then no one have picked her up because of her unpopular color, that is the interesting part. Her color is purple, for a object like umbrella dyed purple, it means the owner or creator might appreciate it or it was indeed expensive, because that time, purple dye was rare and costly, moreover it is symbol of aristocracy. So I guess her owner might come from a noble or rick family or a famous artisan. In WaHH, Kogasa is recognized as a talent artisan and blacksmith, because of her creator or she is just that good, she has lived for more than a century, a hard working and pursuit youkai so it is understandable.

    A normal tsukumogami usually hold great hatred toward human but Kogasa doesn't, I think she was a loved umbrella and the reason why she turned into a youkai not because of hatred but self-pity, nothing more than a decorated umbrella, not a useful tool. The reason no one picked her, I think because the lower class people didn't understand her value. In UFO, she told Reimu:

    "But the pointlessness is what's really beautiful.
    It would be terrible if everything in life were all planned out.

    Even tools aren't beautiful just because they're functional.
    The useless parts are what make us youkai ..."

    I think she roasted Reimu that she is just a boor pitch who will never under stand her (Kogasa's) true value. In ReimuB's scenario, Reimu said:"Maybe you're luxury items?", so my assumption above proved what Reimu said is not random.

    It took a translator more than a decade to realize "skyscraper" in Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind doesn't indicate a skyscraper but a triangular skysail, and it took me years to understand that Kogasa roasted Reimu in UFO.

    I'm not sure for the Japanese Imperial Family, but I think that in China, purple was exclusively for the Emperor, so Kogasa is very, very posh.

    Reimu's behaviour in most canon sources paint her as excessively materialistic: her perpetual frustration regarding her finances, and her unwillingness to put in any extra effort other than short-term ploys that never solve her financial situation durably, are clear indication she doesn't value things like hard work and dedication (well, that one isn't really news to most fans), only money and material possessions that serve a direct, useful purpose. Which is very unbefitting of her position and job as a shrine maiden.

    No wonder Yorihime beat her so effortlessly in what is supposed to be her speciality: Reimu severely lacks genuine spirituality.

    I tweaked the final note, changing "danger" to the more literal translation of 敵地 (tekichi) as "enemy territory", since it's ... literally true in this case? The finger was already called an enemy (てき, teki), after all, and now she's crawling *on* the hand.

    While you might normally interpret that to mean she's in danger, here we don't truly know that; that depends on the intentions of the hand's owner (and the artist).
