I always fuckin wondered why Naruto a fox inclined jinchuriki never had yhe chance to learn genjutsu, and its not cuz he has too much chakra! He would have actually made a goddamn mini tsukuyomi if he could. ITS BECAUSE HE IS YANG DOMINANT!! Body instead of Soul or Yin which is needed in Genjutsu!!
O IF HE SOMEHOW HAD THE YIN CHAKRA OF KURAMA INSTEAD OF YANG!!! THE DHOW WOULD HAVE GONE A DIFFERENT ROUTE AND WE WOULD HAVE A CUNNING FOX FIEND SPIRIT GENJUTSU MANIAC NARUTO AND TURN THE WHOLE SHOW UPSIDE DOWN!!!!
it also made me realize the fact that Naruto has Yang Chakra of kurama who is a fox and foxes are know for illusions and tricks and yet naruto couldn't create a genjutsu for the life of him, and I realized that its not because of him having an overwhelming amount of chakra it's because he has an overwhelming amount of yang chakra, Body Chakra, Physical chakra. When Yin chakra is mind chakra or spirit which is what we need in genjutsu.
we would have a menace trickster that slit eyed 12 year old naruto would have grown into a version of himself that would rival orochimaru or danzo if he wanted to.
He wpuld have been majestic. He would have been more uzumaki than Namikaze. And we would have reveled in a story so like yet unlike of our own for just one single difference."
its 2am i got class in 5 hours.
I havent had a good headcannon lore soiral in awhile.
alot of my favourite quotes, philosophies, tropes, poems and stuff are here and I highly recommend to read, its also completed so You dont have to worry.

A new post that’s a very brief primer into some spirits that are very close to my heart. I plan on writing more about specific elements of these spirits and their cult in the future, but this is a brief introduction that I hope makes for an interesting read nonetheless!

Some female Kitsune Chaeya for the people (>w<) Okay... it started with a fanfic idea where chaeya is the Kamisato clan's guardian spirits. I won't go into much more detail about that, it would end up being far too much text XD But as I was working on drawing them, I got distracted by other ideas and ended up just leaving it. Until recently when I finally gave in and gave them Mistsplitter Reforged and Thundering Pulse in-game. As they are my strongest five-star weapons. I first was gonna draw them as male, since I don't usually draw Kaeya as a male. But then I remembered my guardian spirit idea and decided to go for that XD
I had thoughts of colouring it... but well... some other time maybe XD

Kij Johnson’s ‘The Fox Woman’ is a gripping novel of magical realism and fairytale, set in the backdrop of Japan’s Heian period. It tells the story of Kaya no Yoshifuji – a lord who falls in love with a beautiful woman only to later discover that she was a fox in disguise.
Tales of foxes transforming into humans to trick unsuspecting people are common in Japan and East Asia. It is said that as the fox grows older, they gain more tails and greater abilities until they are at their most powerful, with nine tails. In Japan, these foxes are called Kitsune, in China, Huli Jing, and in Korea, Kumiho. These foxes may transform into humans for many reasons, to steal from them, to eat them, or, as in the case of ‘The Fox Woman,’ to seduce them.

Hi! How are you?
I have a few questions - Should I worried if i keep a getting a kitsune's name wrong/they seem to never settle on a single name for too long, but they're all of a theme? is this simply a lack of discernment, or part of how they behave?
Thank you for help, because i'm really stuck as to kitsune i'm close with has been unresponsive recently, and i think this is it! if it isn't it, what else could be hindering our communication?
OMG I AM SO SORRY FOR LATE REPLIES BUT Yes, it happens. From my experience (even with spirit friends in general) it happens. Sometimes they just don't feel comfortable with certain names, even ones they pick. You could ask if they would be ok if you gave them a name instead. However if this doesn't even work, they could even be hard-headed and stubborn. Some of them can be carefree and almost resemble how the Fool is in the tarot deck. In addition, there could be several reasons communication isn't the greatest at the moment. They could be busy with their own life in the realms and it doesn't mean they left for good, maybe you bought something that makes it uncomfortable and making it keep it's distance, or your guys friendship is drifting apart (which does sometimes happen).
You could still try to communicate with it and maybe give it offerings as a way to call it back. But my strongest believe would be they are busy within the realm. I say this because sometimes my other spirit friends can be gone for several months but then return. Sometimes they'll mention why and other times they won't. I hope this helps <3

Fox Fairy and a Scholar
Like the story before this, it was translated by Xiaomingxiong a Hong Kong queer rights activist, and comes from his publication to the glbtq archives.
An old scholar, with no attraction toward women, lives alone in a big house. One night, a man dressed in black enters the house and asks the scholar for sex
The man dressed in black is actually the scholar's "husband" and the scholar was his "wife" in their lives before reincarnation. Then they loved each other and vowed to keep their intimate relationship in their future lives. But when they made the vow, it was during a war, and the beautiful wife was captured by rebels. At last, she committed suicide to escape rape. The husband, however, followed the rebels and became one of them, and later was also killed during the war. 
Because of the chastity of the wife, who was willing even to kill herself to preserve it, she was permitted by the Emperor of the Nether World to reincarnate as a man. But the husband, who followed the rebels and showed no loyalty to the king, was forced to reincarnate as a fox. 
Still, the fox wanted to maintain his relationship with his (dead) wife for one more year. So he practiced alchemy and became a man, which enabled him to search for his wife in the earthly world. After listening to the man dressed in black (actually a fox), the old scholar faintly remembered his past life. But the scholar wondered if they could maintain any sexual relationship now, since both are now males. 
The fox then smiled and replied : "It should not be any problem, so long as we love each other; it does not matter if it is between males, or between male and female, we still could love each other." 
So the old scholar agreed. He unfastened his clothing and shared intimate moments with the man-fox . The fox then came once every two days for some time. One night, however, the fox told the scholar: "This is our last night together. Tomorrow you can check our loving relationship on one of the pillars of the house." The next morning, the scholar woke up and checked out the pillars: there was a pillar with 365 denture marks! The fox had succeeded in maintaining his relationship with his former wife, now a man, for an additional year.

On Writing: Fangs vs. Tails
So if you were dropped in as the protagonist in a paranormal romance isekai, which would you rather deal with? Vampires or fox spirits?
...Some may suspect this is a trick question. Anyone who’s poked folklore a bit knows it’s at least an open-ended one. There are lots of different kinds of vampires, worldwide, and probably half as many different kinds of shapeshifty foxes. (Who may or may not be fox spirits/fox demons. Foxes are tricky that way.)
Even if the isekai is a takeoff on medieval Europe, you could still have a fox spirit/vampire faceoff. Just do a search on Reynardine.
Granted, the smart answer would probably be, “none of the above, I’m running off to Tahiti, bye!” Nice idea, but given Tahiti’s inhabitants include both French and Chinese, the foxes and vampires probably beat you there centuries ago, and are on the beach sipping midnight mai tais.
Your next best option might be the dark and brooding demon/vampire hunter, but they have a habit of pulling It’s Not You It’s My Enemies, and leaving you high and dry. Or worse, it actually is their enemies, and you end up in a Damsel in Distress or James Bondage situation. If you’re not horribly killed, turned, or otherwise suffer a Fate Worse Than Death, so they can get their proper story motivation for a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
Right. Door number three, please.
Here’s where it gets situational, and highly dependent on which folklore, and even which era, you’re dealing with. These days the Korean gumiho is usually portrayed as a liver-eating fox monster that can become human - if it can refrain from eating human flesh for 100 days. (So no pressure, right? Right?) Yet up to and at least partway through the Joseon Dynasty, there were tales of helpful gumiho, or easily-tricked trickster ones, who weren’t out to eat anybody. Likewise in some areas of Eastern Europe vampires might be mostly harmless outside flattening crops with hail and scaring the horses. They might be nearly indistinguishable from human beings, to the point of siring several children on their widows. (Or at least that’s how the widows explained having more kids. I’m not going to judge.)
Personally I think the question of, is this a living being, would be one of my first considerations. Even if the relationship were purely platonic and chaste, it’s not healthy to be with the dead too long. (Yes, this can include fox spirits - some are fox ghost spirits.)
Second consideration, are they going to eat me? I like all my bits where they are, thanks.
Third, are they a good and moral person? This one specifically can be tricky, because even the best and wisest of benevolent foxes serving Inari still loves a good prank. Also, a vampire doesn’t really qualify as a vampire if it’s not feeding on life-force from something. Maybe they hunt animals. Okay, so do we. But if they start draining plants so the crops die in the fields... that may not hurt people directly, but it still puts human lives in peril.
I suppose the best option would be to get your hands on enough anti-supernatural weaponry so you can tell all those paranormally romantic types to get the heck off your lawn. And definitely out of your bed. And don’t come back without an invitation!

Su she: nah, we only give Lan lips shovel talk.

Rusong: they're going to marry uncle Sang to uncle Jiang, and also exchange dowries.
A-Qing: how does that work, rich gege. I don't understand.
Rusong: uhh...it's like how you gave me a sachet and I gave you some hairpins. It made our friendship and alliance stronger right?
A-Qing: yea!
Are you trying your politics on me?? Omg!
Rusong: no, Xiao Qing.
Anyways, how's the staff?
A-Qing: they're good for now. And I'm I'm friends with Xiao wei so.
But I don't really need them.
Rusong: why?
A-Qing: cuz I'm not rich like you.

A-Qing: I'm not afraid to bite you!
Rusong: can A-Qing come along, A-Die? I think she might be bored here alone.
Yao: sure she can come, Song'er. *smile*
Rusong: great.
A-Qing: Emps. You don't need to arrange an extra caravan for me. I'm riding with Rusong!

Yao: *smile* let's go.

~~~
Peacock empire 📍.
A few people were in attendance.
Entering, the Hulijing emperor, Hulijing prince, team Dimple and Miss Qing of Yi City.
Xue yang: why aren't I Yang of Yi city. She got fancy titles. Hmpf!
Su she: delinquent of Kuizhou.
Xue yang: I like that one, hehe.
Zixuan: Foxy!
Yao: Xuanxuan!!
Zixuan: heehee I mean greetings *bow* Hulijing Huangshang.
Yao: *bow* greetings to you Peacock Huangshang.
Jiang cheng and Hauisang: *in the corner*
Jiang cheng: look at them two. Acting cute and formal.
Huaisang: their cuteness are a distraction.
Jiang cheng: definitely.
Huaisang: *goes to A-Yao's side*
Yao: ah you look stunning, Huaisang. *hugs shortly*
Mo xuanyu: finally do.
Su she: he doesn't look like Huangdi.
Yao: well, Xuan Huangdi. I'm going to let my harem member, Nie huaisang of Qinghe Nie marry your harem member. Also, we all know his horny tendencies.
Huaisang: hey!
Zixuan: lovely. But you're still working for me, Hassang.
Or else I'll sell you to team dimple.
Huaisang: *imagining himself as a team D attendant*
Xue yang: Huaisang, can you remove the fierce corpse's tongue for me. My hands are full.
Mo xuanyu: do you always look like you were hit with something? Or is that just your face.
Ugh.
Su she: go to jail. You were rude to my Huangdi.
Huaisang: NOOOO!!!
Zixuan: what is wrong with you?
Yao: we're in front of an audience, Huaisang. Have some conduct.
Zixuan: ehem. I'll let my harem member. Well our harem member. Jiang cheng of Yunmeng Jiang to marry Huaisang.
Yao: Xuan Huangdi.
Zixuan: yes Yao Huangdi.
Yao: for the dowry, I'm ready to offer a fox spirit defence force, who will protect you, a variety of rare weapons, 3 million golden taels, some Jade ceramics the put around your mansion and a field of roses. And for Jiang cheng, you don't have to pay tax in Yunping anymore. As well as I'll gift you a lotus field.
For both of you, I'll give you 25 caravans each.
Zixuan: brilliant. I do accept.
Thank you Huangdi.
I'll give you 4 million golden taels. One of my golden Peacock feather, a spring mansion in Dongying, because I know that you love dongying a lot. And lastly I'll give you a whole peach blossom forest! Peacock spirits are already guarding you and Jingjing Huyao empire.
And as for Huaisang. I'll gift him an expensive fan collection and a few art supplies. All imported. Other than that I'll gift him a broom.
Yao: do accept, Huangdi. Such beautiful gifts.
Jiang cheng: did those Huangdis just made themselves richer.
Huaisang: yup.
Yao: darling it's called politics.
Yao: anyways. Huangdi is so kind.
Zixuan: no Yao Huangdi is too kind.
Yao: oh you!
Zixuan: you always have the sweetest gifts.
Yao: you have a lot of taste, Huangdi.
Zixuan: thank you, Huangdi.
Yao: aren't you two going to get ready. We have a ceremony to start!
Huaisang: one question. Why did you buy me a broom?
Zixuan: what do you use a broom for, Huaisang. Obviously to sweep my floors.
Huaisang: *scoffs*
Yao and Zixuan: uncultured.
Yao: at least Jiang cheng is normal.
Zixuan: yea he's so fine. And powerful.
Yao: yup. And do you see how he takes care of A-ling?
Zixuan: aww yes! Huaisang could never take care of a child.
Xue yang: the way to the emperors heart is to take care of their children and be hot and powerful.
Su she: yup.
Mo xuanyu: that's why we helped take care of Song'er. And Yao gege needed the help anyways.
Yao: Zish Huangdi. Jiang cheng is favored by both of us. Why don't we make him a personal general. Like he can defend us whenever someone wants to attack our empire.
Zixuan: good idea, Foxy. It will be done.
He'll be under the order of the peacock and fox.
Jiang cheng: ugh, Yao Huangdi, Zixuan Huangdi. I'll do my best. But I'm sort of honoured.
You know I always have to compete with that shameless Wei wuxian.
Thank you I guess.
Yao and Zixuan: *smiles, then stretched out their hand*
Jiang cheng: oh come on! Fine.
*kisses their hands* I'm honoured, you two.
Xue yang: it's ok to call them divas.
Mo xuanyu: gosh I see it now. They are divas. But I like it. And I'm a diva too so.
Yao: the staff will get them ready for the wedding. But first, can you two confess your love for each other?
Zixuan: if you cancel, we're still keeping the gifts.
Huaisang: yes! I love Jiang cheng! And had a crush on him since when we were in the cloud recesses.
Jiang cheng: I....I...kind of.
Ehem. How to put this....I fancied him too. His personality is alright. And we did get drunk together one time.
Huaisang: awwww Jiang cheng. You remembered. *cries*
.
Rusong: uncle Zish.
Zixuan: aw hi Song'er.
Rusong: congrats on the historic event.
Um...this is my friend A-Qing.
Zixuan: *raises brow~ scanning to see if she's wife material for Song'er*
A-Qing: you're a very scary peacock.
Why the hell are you staring at me like that. As you know peacock, I'm very rich.
Zixuan: how am I scary? Anyways, it's a pleasure to meet you.
A-Qing: do you all talk like that! It makes me nauseous! Peacock, do you curse? Can I teach you how to curse?
Xue yang: A-Qing! Don't scare the peacock!
A-Qing: what's your favorite curse word.
Yao: *eye twitch*
Zixuan: *confused*
No darling, I don't use profanities.
A-Qing: huh, what a fancy word.
Do you just turn into a peacock and shit on people's properties. Wait no, those are pigeons. My bad.
Zixuan: *whispers* Yaoyao.....Help me...
Yao: A-qing, this is my brother, Zixuan. The peacock spirit emperor. Those kinds of things aren't his interests.
A-Qing: oh. Sorry sorry peacock Huangdi.
Zixuan: it's fine darling. And you're Song'er's friend.
A-Qing: xue yang is my guardian.
Zixuan: ah, explains a lot. You're playful just like him.
A-Qing: yea! so you and Jiggy are close.
That's cute.
Zixuan: yes.
Yao: we are.
A-Qing: ohhh. I see. You both are fabulous divas.
~~
The wedding!!
Jiang cheng and Hauisang: *wearing red*
Officiator: perform the three bows.
Yao: *opens fan* such a beautiful couple.
Zixuan: indeed.
A-Qing: you two emperors are crazy and are divas. But I like it.
Su she: Huangdi looked ethereal in his wedding robes.
Xue yang: for real.
Mo xuanyu: does huaisang really have to look like a tomato.
Officiator: you two are now married. Congrats!!
Everyone: *clapping for them*
Yanli: congrats, A-cheng.
Jiang cheng: thanks jiejie.
Huaisang: yippeee!!! We're married!!!
Mingjue: Yao Huangdi!! I hope this doesn't end up in a disaster. You better monitor them to see if nothing happens.
Yao: everything will be fine, Dage.
Zixuan: *blocks A-Yao* Foxy....I mean Huangdi doesn't have to listen you.
Mingjue: why?!
Zixuan: because he doesn't work for you.
*opens fan*
Mingjue: is this some kind of strategy to be richer?
Zixuan: no! It's to strengthen bonds.
Yao: it's an emperor thing.
Zixuan: look, Hassang and Jiang cheng are happy!
Huaisang: *snuggling Jiang cheng*
Jiang cheng: *feeding him jiaozi*
Mo xuanyu: I hope you leave Yao gege alone after this.
Jiang cheng: leave him alone. Wuxian lookalike.
Xue yang: you guys are rude!
Rusong: congrats uncle Sang and uncle Jiang.
Huaisang: thanks Song'er.
Jiang cheng: thank you Dianxia.
Huaisang: who's the chick?
Rusong: oh this is my friend, A-Qing.
A-Qing: xue yang said I popped out of him.
Huaisang: ew.
Xue yang: have some respect!! It was historic!

Combine: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot + Proper Care of Foxes 🦊
❖ pick 2 fics and I’ll combine them somehow
Oof, this was a tough but exciting one! I'd take fox spirit!Phryne from The Proper Care Of Foxes and put her up to the spy shenanigans from Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - maybe set it during that period where she's carrying out espionage missions during WWI and have her run into Jack, who is also working in intelligence. If it were a modern-day AU, maybe Phryne is part of an international network of fox spirits-turned-special agents - fox spirits would be so good at espionage - perhaps a Charlie's Angels-esque unit with Su Wenli and Ji-Ah from Lovecraft Country.
(from this fic ask game; thanks for the ask!)

What's up, glowy fox?
This was a test painting for a gallery show but I ended up deciding to go in a different direction. I wasn't really happy with the technique I used on the fox (it's too textured for my liking) -- but I thought I'd share it anyway.
Happy Tuesday, everyone! 🌿
