Bunny Nun, don't go professional wrestling Heel on that poor duck.
The two figurines on the top of the cake are just perfect!
The duck she's about to hit has icing on its foot, which you can see came from the right side of the cake, where it left a footprint and tracks. That being said, the icing on bunny's face suggests she took the bite out of the left side.

About the God of Noh and Shukujin: if Wikipedia is to be believed, both of those circle back to Hata no Kawakatsu, who has a connection with Prince Shoutoku (and thus, with Miko).
As to what Shukujin is... the answer seems to be "Nobody Knowsโข". The answers seem to point towards two completely different directions: ๅฎฟ as equivalent to ๅค or ๅฎๅฎฎ โwhich is a designation for a group of outcastsโ, or as the ๅฎฟ in ๆๅฎฟ (constellation). So, either a god of the outcasts or a god of astronomy (maybe both?). Funnily enough, what would be expected by the modern usage of the kanji (ๅฎฟ = inn, so probably some sort of god of hospitality) doesn't seem to factor in at all.
All things considered... maybe leaving it untranslated would be the right call here?
EDIT: The rabbit hole goes even deeper! Apparently there may also be a connection between Shukujin and Mishaguji (so, Suwako's curse god in Touhou) and in fact, if you search for ๅฎฟ็ฅ in Wikipedia, it redirects you to the entry for Mishaguji. God damn, ZUN really made the right call making a character based on Matara-jin.
It's been a rather common problem with this particular comic. I contribute to a few changes here and there for images, but I doubt I'll ever get that kind of status to approve these myself.
I've noticed that this comic gets flagged on nearly every upload now, but the moderation history doesn't show the user except to probably moderators and up I guess.
"Disinterest" should not be a valid reason for disapproval at all on this website, especially for something thats clearly part of a long running series that are all already here.
"Disinterest" is just the boilerplate message for when an Approver skips over a post. Approvers do not have unlimited time to carefully determine the worth of each and every post, especially when they're not even being paid for it. This does mean some works worthy of this site won't be approved the first time, but the appeal system, Contributors, and the fact posts only need one person to approve them help balance that. Not to mention that posts can be approved even if they're no longer in the mod queue.
Unapproving posts by default until an Approver accepts them is an effective system despite its flaws. The alternative would be to automatically approve every post without a reason given by the Approvers (or "Disapprovers" in this Bizarro universe), but that would run counter to the site's mission as a curated gallery for anime art.

They're not getting flagged. It's just the default wording the deletion message uses. If it says "(unapproved in three days)" then it was just automatic deletion after not getting approved. An actual flag by a user would give a different reason.

Imagine if the Mona Lisa were to be disapproved from being displayed in a museum just because the curators were "disinterested" in it
I mean it's not like the curators are obligated to display the Mona Lisa at all, let alone spend time to look really closely at everything donated to the museum.

I would like to point out that was very much a possibility.
The Mona Lisa only got famous after she was stolen(the thieves literally just walked in at night,grabbed her off the wall,and no one noticed the gap until midday)and was considered one of the less impressive works by Leonardo Da Vinci,if not outright ignorable.
The reason she shot up after being stolen was a problem we face now in even bigger amounts...
...the media hyperinflating an otherwise mediocre event just to make money.
Had she not been stolen,Mona Lisa would just be another mainstream piece of art,another cog in the mainstream scam,being traded around as a tax write off.
So thank anyone and everyone whose powers it may be for creating the online art scene,and for helping those like Ethan to be recognised by those who truly care.
