The idea of unicorn-ish oni hanging out in Hell is quite old. Not so much a cross of two themes as a variation of a common theme.

Obviously said theme has evolved a bit over the years...

Helen you said sometime ago that hentai artists avoid Ran, because of her quite motherly status (which I think is a rather big turn on for a lot of people). However the thing is that most of the good thing with her aren't scanned yet and the ones that are available aren't really all that good. Except this one, in which she threatens so male wolf tengus into giving up their semen or facing oblivion. Is this typical according to your extensive knowledge?

To my knowledge, foxes pretty much never use brute force (unless you were half-fox like Seimei, who was pretty big on flinging fireballs and hexes around. ) Though they do pull off some pretty asshole shit, if I recall Daji liked shlicking to the screams of tortured girls, so she seduced King Zhou and had him have some slaves whipped so that she can get off.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

>>6454014

... actually the theory was that artists avoid her because the tails are a pain to draw, which wouldn't outweigh her motherly nature.

>threatens so male wolf tengus into giving up their semen or facing oblivion

No, it's not typical.
But on the other hand, it is typical to expect the unexpected out of kitsune regarding anything that isn't tofu or fried mice.

Come to think of it, the relationships between different sorts of youkai haven't really been explored much.

Plenty of worse has happened in non-mythological history.

The term 'whipping boy' originated from the practice of beating the shit out of a prince's friends when he fucked up because the prince himself was off-limits. Instead of teaching them to stop being assholes it taught them that injustice and torturing the innocent were fucking hilarious.

That practice explains a great deal of the white man's history.

Sorry my memory fails me. In your mind how does Ran stand in the mythological beasts/monster hierarchy compared to any Tengu? Which just means I'm asking how high Ran's power level is.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

>>6454101

In terms of who would be able to excert the most influence over the other, fox spirits would appear to be superior to tengu starting at three or four tails and up.

Judging from legend, it would seem two tails are the last stage that a fit, intelligent human can take down a fox spirit without it being an epic effort.

So taking down Chen or Orin is within grasp? Even though Chen and Orin aren't really the same species of cat youkai.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6454101
I'm no Helen, but I'd guess tengu hierarchy goes as daitengu > yamabushi tengu > crow tengu > guhin/white wolf tengu > koppatengu (which are little more than animals). Ran probably stands the same as most daitengu, but Sojobo or Emperor Sutoku could probably still kick her ass (Sutoku is one of the three endgame bosses of Japan, alongside Shuten-douji and Tamamo no Mae. )

>>6454073
If you're into that, reading anecdotes about Seimei's life while pretending all parties involved (including Seimei) are cute young girls is a great pasttime. My favorite is the story where he guards an archivist from another onmyouji's familiar by praying all night right beside his bed. I wish I was a hard-working young archivist girl (glasses, large breasts and a shy demeanor is obligatory) secretly in love with (female) Seimei, though with her as a legendary figure and me as a lowly archivist, I wouldn't even dare to act on my feelings. But while serving in her presence, she would notice that I'm in grave danger and take it upon herself to save my life by praying all night beside my bed. Of course, she'd secretly be a pervert and start molesting me in between her chants, claiming it's a necessary part of her ritual, though I would understand her intention and lift my robes, exposing my soft, pink, unsoiled mound to her. I'd then offer her my virginity, telling her it's okay as long as it's her, though I'd still be a bit scared and overwhelmed by her presence (even as a little girl, Seimei is Seimei and can kill people because they looked at her funny. ), only blushing and uttering soft moans as she claims my body for herself.

If only ;_;

The Dream of Akinosuke is also great, but only if you have an insect fetish.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

Thanks, almost forgot.
Ran could probably take on daitengu, but against Sojobo or Sutoku she'd have practically zero chance of getting through. Certainly she could outsmart them, but her chances would be minimal in anything involving confrontation.

Not sure if Sojobo is still around, though, or if he's regarded as more of a "mythological-historical" character. In either case he'd still have some presence since Sutoku seems to be wholy intangible, yet considered a tengu.

It's interesting that Tamamo no Mae is ranked this high since, despite being the most successful active schemer among Japanese fox spirits, it would seem she only had two tails.

>Of course, she'd secretly be a pervert and start molesting me in between her chants, claiming it's a necessary part of her ritual,

No cute ears or fluffy tails, but Seimei still is half fox...

[BasementFlan !fOS0n8t2CY No.]

Tamamo no Mae had nine tails, bro.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

As for Tamamo no Mae and her tails, it could be that she started counting again after Hoji was cleansed from the Sesshoseki.

It's only a theory, though. Myths usually don't wrap up that way.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

How many different types of these fox spirits are there anyway?

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

>>6454424

Worldwide? Probably hundreds or even thousands if you count all the tribal variations.
As for the ones with big names, maybe seven to ten. The Hu Li Jing "family" has either three or four variations, of which the kitsune is only one.

[Hong Meiling 門門 !!4kI2ajBUI8D No.]

>>6454441
I assume a creature of Ran's age and power would have quite a lot pride. Isn't it rather shameful for Ran to serve Yukari? We probably can put up the whole Yukari vs Ran series as a good example for that. Are there any records in mythology out there of such creatures serving other beings?

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

>>6454463

Oh yes, plenty.
Maybe not them godlike nine tailed foxes, but a common variation on witchcraft in Japan involves "fox employers", families that have heridetary foxes serving them throughout generations in return for some forgotten favour.

The belief seems to be alive today, even.
