I'm not caught up on kitsune lore, actually.

You have come to the right place, my friend.

All I think about is weird fox based lore.

We'll cover the 3 big ones of Japan, Korea and China.

THE FOX BREAK DOWN.

WHY THE FOX?

The fox in many cultures-in this case countries residing in the Eastern areas of the world-have been symbols of mystery, trickery, transformation and deception. This may account to the fact a fox is naturally a very fast and intelligent animal, that is rather nocturnal and has a way to always evade danger that it finds itself in. They're problem solvers. They also scream like women in distress. Or when they're happy-they scream like cars trying to rev up.

THE KITSUNE: Japanese messanger of the gods and local nuisence

The most popular of foxes in media, art and story, the Kitsune story comes from Japan. It has been the subject of movies, games, animes, mangas and even folk tales for generation. To put it simply, a Kitsune is a fox that possesses paranormal abilities. People already believed that foxes were supernatural in general-but with time and age, they'd grow smarter and wiser. A kitsune grows a new tail for every 100 years it lives-with those that have 9 tails being very powerful and with 10 tails earned, will ascend into GODHOOD.

-sound familiar to someone you might know?-

Kitsune and humans have always lived together and gotten along mostly. Fox Urine actually repels rats-so stones soaked in the urine of foxes would be placed near fields; which most likely led to people finding foxes sacred and becoming a symbol of the Japanese Deity, Inari Okami-the God of agriculture-and eventually being regarded as their messengers.

Kitsunes had the ability to shape shift-often doing so into beautiful women (and sometimes men depending on the story) and getting themselves married, but usually getting run off by their spouses' dogs (which they are afraid of) They also have a tendency to reveal themselves when they get drunk or are careless as the tails are the one part of themselves they can't hide properly (which is tricky if you got 9 of 'em.) Beautiful women with certain face structures and high cheek bones are often called 'fox faced'

Kitsune can be good or evil-some of the more wicked ones going out of their way to possesse humans and have to be exorcised to free them.

THE KUMHIO: Korea's nightmare manic pixie dream girl

The Kumhio is my personal favorite-hailing from Korean, the Kumhio (or Gumhio depending on spelling variation) is a fox similar to the Kitsune in many aspects. It's a very long lived 9 tail fox, it has supernatural powers of illusion, shapeshifting and magic. But the Kumhio is different in it's behavior. The Kumhio's favorite meal-unlike the tofu loving Kitsunes-is human livers. And they go about acquiring it in a very interesting way. They will become women (or men) and manage to get hitched up to whoever is most convenient and begin to systematically prey on everyone in the household. First the animals, then the servants, the family, and often times leaving the spouse for last. They are also known to dig up fresh graves to get the livers. They also sport something similar to the kitsune that was not mentioned-a Bead they keep inside their bodies that they can cough up. This is called a Fox Bead. Putting this bead in your mouth can give you IMMENSE knowledge of the sky land and seas. Often times this is only shared by the Kuhio via a sort of 'deep kiss' where it puts the ball in your mouth and then takes it back with it's long unnatural tongue. But most cases have been people trying to steal it/accidently swallowing it. Although humans are a Kumhio's prey-if a Kumhio abstains from killing and consuming a human for 1000 days, it too will become mortal and then can enjoy all mortal perks (getting married, sharing a life span with someone, not being a literal monster) They are sometimes in mythology (depending on who you ask and which variation of the story you read) regarded as a lesser creature, but still very very dangerous. I wouldn't wanna fuck around and find out with one of these puppies.

FAVORITE PIECE OF MEDIA INVOLVING A KUMHIO:

Laon, it's a great horror read, kinda short, but still great. I love it unironically.

THE HULI-JING: Your friendly neighborhood fox ghost

The Huli-Jing is another Fox Spirit, this time from China. Much like Japan, it has the same properties as the Kitsune; Supernaturally weird, crazy long lived, can become god, people tend to like them. Until they do fucked up stuff. One case had a huli-jing posesses an important woman in power and she and her husband while posessed basically started torturing and murdering people and starting a massive revolt against their dynasty. Unlike Kumhios who suck life essence from the mouth (and eat your liver) The Huli-Jing will go the Succubus route and.....steal semen. That's right, the foxes are turning into hot hot women and are stealing your life force via your jizz boys, keep it in your pants. But despite that, many villages in history love the Fox Spirit-a saying going as far as villages shouldn't be established without a fox spirit milling about. They're seemingly friendly provided you pay them the right respects. Many people would have in home shrined dedicated to them to make offerings right there.

TLDR: Foxes are fuckin' spooky, turnin into women, stealin' your semen, your liver and making your goddamn rice grow. fuckin' foxes doin' FOX SHIT.

two mobsters are walking in the woods at night.

The first one looks around and says "Damn, this place gives me the willies!"

The other replies: "YOU'RE scared? I gotta walk back alone!"

I won't lie, that got a sensable chuckle out of me

Always remember that one cartoon where Coyote goes against Bigs Bunny and it is one of the only one where he talks.

And then he flashes THIS at bugs and immediatly it's like 'oh. it's gonna be like my JOB to mess with you.'

"Liver failure? Sounds like a skill issue."

The real reason for the Halfling Lifespan being as garbo as it is; liver failure.

Nothing like the friendship between a stoner and a furry.

I mean that point it's symbosis. only a furry would support and love a stoner.

Who are some female anime characters you think were well written?

Marcille from Dungeon Meshi.

She's a very complex character with the range of serious, silly, smart, and stupid as a brick moments and there isn't a moment where you don't feel IMMENSE empathy for her when it's shown what her anxities are as a Half Elf.

And Izutsumi

(She'll be showing up in later episodes, since Dungeon Meshi is still new, but she's the best girl)

mainly because compared to other Catgirls in Anime Media-she is an ACTUAL CAT.

What is your favorite monster design?

Unironically.

Pig Orc

But when it showcases how CUTE a pig actually is cause usually people draw pig faced orcs as absolutely GNARLY to look at.

(don't question why I have pictures of this one specific orc)

I find it terribly ironic that often in media, orcs are depicted as uncultured, violent, primitive, savage, and violent. Meanwhile actual pigs (which is speculated often that Orc is a very old Welsh word FOR pig, but that is only speculation and not to be taken as gospel) are actually very clean, intelligent, social creatures.

I think that the pig facedness opens up a lot of doors to a broad spectrum of unique orcs.

Remember, every pig is perfect.

Hey there, any chance we could perhaps see how the goblins and their princess are doing?

They're doing great.

Goblins are like cats. You rustle a bag and they want whatever is inside it. It could be Cool Ranch Doritos, it could be a handful of buttons, they want it now cause it made the tantalizing shakey shakey crinkle noise.

Honestly it's no wonder Pokemon take on Flamingos change barely anything about them. Those things are already weird enough.

FLAMINGLE FACT: Flamingos are Extremophiles. Which means they can live in the wildest of places with the wildest of tempeture.

FLAMINGLE FACT: explorers thought when they spotted the Flamingo they finally found a phoenix as they liked nesting on volcanos in Hawaii (Again, Extremophiles.) and their vivid colors resembled the bird. (can't remember where I heard this so don't take it for gospel but it does sound plausible at best.)

FLAMINGLE FACT: the oldest flamingo in captivity's name was Greater and he lived to be 83. Which I think is IMPRESSIVE for honestly anyone who isn't a tortoise or a parrot of some kind.

FLAMINGLE FACT: the guy who invented plastic lawn flamingos? Sure does look like he did.
