《The Ultimate Yōkai Guide》Tsukumogami
Advertisement
Tsukumogami are household objects such as tools, containers, and instruments that have become inhabited by spirits after existing for 100 years. The spirits cause the objects to mutate so that they gain body parts. In order to prevent objects from becoming tsukumogami, people throw them away before they are one hundred years old. However, objects that are 99 years old when they are thrown away will get angry and become yōkai in a manner independent from the passage of time so that they can cause mischief.
Tsukumogami are generally harmless. Usually, they do little more than play pranks on people. However, they can and will get very angry at wasteful people or anyone who throws objects away thoughtlessly. To prevent tsukumogami from seeking revenge, people will sometimes perform ceremonies to console broken and unusable items.
To this day, ceremonies are still held to appease old objects, especially dolls that are no longer used by their owners. Even plush toys of popular characters are used in these ceremonies now. People pray for the toys and thank them for bringing their owners happiness throughout the years. Sometimes, the dolls are burned, but the main purpose of these ceremonies is to drive any spirits out of the old toys and to bid them farewell.
FUN FACT: It is said that tsukumogami avoid electrical energy. As such, objects that rely on electricity to function cannot become tsukumogami.
Examples in various media:
Klefki (Pokémon) Other Pokémon that are tsukumogami include Banette (a doll), Litwick (a candle), and Honedge (a sword), although there are many others.
Kozo (Rosario + Vampire)
Ittan-Momen (GeGeGe no Kitaro)

Tower of Babel: Speedrunner
Launch day. That was what they called it. The day when over four million people vanished in an instant from the island of Manhattan. The day earthquakes ravaged the east coast. The day a one hundred and one kilometer tall tower rose from the wreckage of the now empty city. The day every screen, newspaper, and smart phone displayed a single message from an unknown source: The Great Emperor has issued his challenge. From the ruins of the Old World rise the Tower. Its doors will soon open, and the great game will begin. A hundred floors and a hundred challenges await the worthy. And to the victor? A Wish of Unlimited Power. Cayden Caros yearned to play that game. His only problem? The Terms and Conditions. A strict set of rules that, among other things, prevented anyone under the age of sixteen from entering the tower. Forced to wait for over two years, Cayden did the only thing he could do to pass the time. He researched, he practiced and he prepared. It would take a lot to catch up to players with such an enormous head start. Lucky for him, he was a special type of gamer. A SpeedRunner So.... It has been a hot minute. I don't like talking about my personal life, but suffice to say I had some fairly bad times for the last couple of years and have only just recently pulled myself back to good health, physically and mentally. I have a very supportive partner, and am put together enough that I want to get back to doing what I love. Writing nerd fiction that I am too embarassed to try to explain when people inevitably ask what my books are about. Still beats when I used to write erotica. Story updates for book 3 should be on a daily schedule, baring unforseen circumstances. The majority of chapters from books one and two have been pulled down to keep with amazon's KU rules. Book one is found here. Book two is found here. If you like the story, please comment or favorite. Each comment goes a long way towards pushing visibility for the story, which means more people get to see it and I feel slightly more validated as a writer. I have a discord now where you can ask me things and I can be like 'no. no. I'm not answering that. no."
