Do you prefer Monster!Alfred/Human!Arthur or Human!Alfred/Monster!Arthur?

Ooh! Well, I enjoy both, but I do think I lean towards either Arthur being the monster or both of them being monsters.

If there's NSFW involved, I definitely tend to prefer Arthur as the monster just because I like top Arthur and it's typically more fun for the top to be the monster (Though human Arthur can top the monster, too. 😏)

In general, here are some monsters I like to use for them:

-Zombie Alfred

-Eldritch Arthur

-Vampire Arthur

-Werewolf Alfred

-Naga Arthur

-Arachne Arthur

-Harpy Alfred

-Mermaid Arthur

-Cecaelia Arthur

-Mermaid Alfred

-Demon Arthur

-Ghost Arthur

-Demon Alfred

-Kitsune Arthur

-Dragon Arthur

-Kitsune Alfred

-Zombie Arthur

-Centaur Arthur

Rise of the TMNT is my current hyper fixation and I’m loving your AU.

I am curious about your version of Shredder/Saki. What’s his beef with Splinter in this AU? I know you’re using a lot of 2012 Shredder and a bit of IDW for him.

Also, what were his views/interactions/plans regarding the other turtles? I personally figure he planned on eventually having Leo kill Mikey and Raph, but maybe sending someone else to kill Donnie. Just to be safe. He spent a lot of time grooming Leo to be his pawn and that would be wasted if Donnie decided to blow them both up or something equally insane.

bad guy lore. Please!

Below is a bit from the big timeline located in my EW master post! Saki’s hatred is really based off being lied to for his entire life, and later finding out his parents were murdered by the man who basically raised him like a son. Regarding Yoshi, Saki’s mad at him for abandoning him to go run off to America. They were raised as brothers, but when Saki found out the truth, he killed Sho so quickly that it wasn’t very satisfying, so Saki vowed to end the Hamato clan.

Saki didn’t know about any of the turtles at all until Kitsune brought Leo before him. But even with the knowledge that there were two more out there, Shredder was only focused on poisoning Leo against Splinter—that was his main goal. He figured they’d be eventual collateral, but that he had enough control over Leonardo he’d follow any commands to kill them without question. But this hubris is what ultimately leads to Leonardo retaining a fond view of his brothers, and then finding the strength to leave to keep them safe.

And Saki had no idea that Donatello was related.

Creatures of Folklore Who Represent Cultures Preventing Wars Throughout History

Anonyomous asked:

Hi! I’m writing a story which is set in a fantasy version of our world. The main difference between our real world and my fictional version is that the spirits and fairies of each culture and folklore exist, and that the majority of them basically stop war from happening because they react very badly (and potentially violently) when invading forces etc try to start battles. 

I’m doing a lot of research into the histories of the various cultures that will be featured in the books set in this world so I can hypothesise how they might have developed without, for example, violent colonialism, and where trade and so on might have flourished in its place. However, it’s possible for colonialism to happen through more insidious ways, such as assimilation. In one of my books, I’m intending to use this as part of the plot, where Japan will try to colonise the Ryukyuan Kingdom through assimilation, but will be stopped by the Ryukyuan Kingdom making allies with other nations (amongst other tactics), but I was wondering if you had any advice for respectfully handling the colonialism that very much did happen in real life in a fantasy setting where it didn’t manage to occur, without erasing the history and ramifications etc of what actually happened?

Do fox spirits have citizenship? 

You mean well with this concept, but there are multiple key problems. 

One major issue with cordoning off spirits and folklore creatures by “patron” culture and have them fight said patrons’ battles is that there’s a lot of overlap. It’d be hard for there not to be a conflict of interest. 

For example, everyone knows about the kitsune fox spirit from Japan. But the story of the fox spirit was introduced to Japan and Korea by China, where they are called húlijīng. These foxes are remarkably similar, with their characteristics and stories almost borrowed wholesale. Are they all the same “species?” If so, when small differences emerge in the countries’ folktales, how do you resolve this? Do these spirits also morph and specialize, or does one interpretation win out? How about when kingdoms are unified, like the Korean Three Kingdoms–do separate versions of the kumiho reverse-evolve into a single variant? What side do they pick when these kingdoms and empires try to battle? If they live apart from humans or aren’t very friendly with them, why would they have a reason to care about invasions when they have no reason to be allegiant to said borders, or whatever name they’re called in whichever country whose land they live on?

Folkloric beings are never static, and are influenced over time by cultural shifts and exchanges, including shifting borders. Human history is stuffed cover-to-cover with events of what we called “conquest” then and “occupation” or “colonization” now. And through these changes, cultures diverged and came together, creating new stories. In other words: not even fairy tales are immune to colonization. 

Leigh can explain the rest.

The Problem with Retconning War

A very simple question for you:

How are you going to rectify every single historical war that’s ever existed?

Like, the whole plot of the Trojan War as we know it is that the gods of the same culture were on different sides! And the gods made the war last as long as it did. Alexander the Great was a colonizer. Romans were definitely colonizers. Ottomans and Mongols, also colonizers. It wasn’t to the scale of modern colonialism, but it happened. If you look at census records from the 1800s of Indigenous populations in North America, you’ll find that the men 20+ have way lower numbers because they died in war! 

I’m not of the opinion that the basic state of humanity is war and we are barely contained by base instincts. But I’m also not so far in the other direction that I believe humans lack any sort of warring instincts. It shows up in chimps and other primates, so it shows up in humans.

In a way, it sounds like you’ve taken a very Christian-fundamentalist-centric view of things, which is: humans need religion to be “contained”. That humans are amoral without some sort of religion or folklore or spirits telling them to not do a “bad thing.”

This is ignoring how people have been using religion to justify wars since religion was invented. As Rina said, there can be overlap in groups’ beliefs and deities so there’s the side-picking issue, which as I mentioned is the whole plot of the Trojan War. Even when humans write about gods meddling in war, they have the gods not all be on the same side.

Humans have war. Humans try to take over other groups because they want the resources that group has. Alliances shift. Territories shift.

This is also treating humans as a monolith—there are populations within the colonized groups that agree with the colonizers because they get benefits. Claiming that all colonized groups hate all aspects of their colonialism all of the time is deeply ahistorical and flattened. Sometimes the benefits were only for a small group, but sometimes the benefits were far-reaching. It’s in the India tag on WWC, varying views of the Mughals. 

Also, how will you handle the Christianization of Europe? How will you handle all of this folklore that only got written down via monks and nuns making notes and modifying beliefs to fit the Bible? Will any area with only Christianity’s records written down not have folklore? 

And how will you handle folklore drift? Religions are not static. If you look at Greek myths, there are ten to thirty versions of each story and those are just the ones that survived. Each city-state had its own mythology, using the same gods, modified to fit the local needs.

And what about folklore that deals with war and thrives in war? What about the gods of war and destruction? I know Norse mythology is Christianized beyond recognition, but even in its Christianized form half of it is about war. Would the Valkyries, whose whole purpose is to find valiant soldiers slain in battle, not want war? Their whole purpose is war.

Also, on top of it—how will you handle revolution?

You say yourself, colonialism could still happen subtly. Colonialism and injustice can still happen. Will these subjugated spirits force an already disadvantaged group to exclusively use a rigged system to try and politely ask for their rights back? Or would these spirits want to be free and support the means necessary to take it back?

War has happened to upend the divine right of kings. War has happened to free slaves (Haiti). War has happened for basic workers’ rights (some union strikes have resulted in war). 

You’re basically removing a whole toolbox in the fight for a better world. Yes, not being able to colonize because of fantasy AU sounds fine, until you realize that pretty much all of human history from the Romans has been created via war to some degree.

You’re basically just saying “violence is bad and humans need fantasy babysitters to not dive into it”, which really doesn’t sound that great once you sit with it. It removes human agency, removes human nature, and ignores the entire history of the planet.

-Leigh (Lesya)

Marika interjecting here:

We had an ask (Linked here) envisioning a story set in a de-colonized Hawai’i and the socio-political issues with that. Same problem.

[dawnofiight]

I'm genuinely confused about the geography of the redacted universe.

So like dahlia and some other places I think are the only places that magic users like gather up? Is that just in America..

Or is there like a magic centered place in like Tokyo, Japan.

Kitsune shifter coming soon. Y'know?

[theearthquaketrackingfox]

I used to wonder why foxes - red foxes in anime are most often depicted as white or blond and sometimes light brown whereas in western literature are often depicted with rich rusty red or bright orange fur. Orange foxes do exist in anime, but not as common as white and flaxen-furred foxes. I knew not to let the species term fool me as I was aware of the existence of albino, leucistic, and melanistic(silver and black) foxes a long time ago as well as the color mutations of domesticated red foxes. However, I also knew that red foxes can vary in color in the wild as well in various parts of the Earth. I can understand why most kitsune are drawn with gold to white fur. I have seen photos of foxes in Japan and a lot of them are pale or brown. The foxes at the famous Zao Fox Village are probably not native to Japan. A lot of them look like they were rescued from fur farms where they were bred with color variants(including marble, silver, and pearl). The rest of them look like red foxes from North America as shown here:

However, there is the subspecies in Hokkaido known as the Ezo fox that does not look much different:

Otherwise, most foxes in Japan seem to look like this:

They appear to have a top coat that can shed in the Summer which is sort of similar to their arctic cousins. Many of the red foxes with the more classical red coat with prominent markings with the black feet and white-tipped tail are most common in Europe and North America.

However, they don't all look the same in these regions. I have seen photos of red foxes in Wyoming and Alaska where many of them can have pale fur that tends to be long. There are even red foxes with light-colored fur in the eastern U.S. I have seen one before here in Tennessee.

[royakahoshiart]

okay fine. I need people to know this.

I feel like most tbhk fans are Christian from America and Europe. So they probably don't really think about the religion in tbhk but it actually has such a big role.

I'll get straight to the point, all of tbhk (or at least main charactes and the plot) is revolved around the worship of Kami ( 神 ) gods, spirits and supernaturals alike.

ThE most obvious ones are the seven mysteries themselves, yako in a kitsune (litterally fox) a fox spirit/yokai whom like to pull pranks of humans either by shaoeshifiting, seducing or even killing at points, this can be seen in yako's sort of cocky personality. Yako is more specifically an Inari statue of an Inari temple for the goddess of agriculture, they say it protects crops and foxes.

Tsuchigomori is a tsuchigomo (literally earth spider) it's a giant spider who can be at least as tall as 10 meters. In one story, minamoto no yorimitsu (or raiko) killed one and had found multiple skulls inside, obviusly implying that the creature eats humans.

Hakubo is an Oni, a general word for demonic creatures in Japanese, thought I can't pin point which exact one. Another story involving yorimitsu is the drunken demon, when hakubo was found by the exorcist he said to have given the biggest Oni poisoned sake, as the real story says that three old men gave yorimitsu and his men sake that revealed the oni's real appearance but didn't hurt humans because he prayed at 3 nearby shinto shrines, and later slashed his neck like in the original text.

Hanako is straightforward but it is different in almost all prefectures of japan.

The gist of it is that hanako was a little girl who died either by herself of by her classmates in the girls bathroom around 5-10 years old. She can grant your wish but is you make her angry she'll curse you with a painful and slow death that'll happen very soon. One prefecture even says that she died in the nuclear blast during the last years of ww2.

Im not sure where nº3, nº1 and nº4 come from.

Now Onto the more subtle details, you might ask "hold up Roy, but Japanese buddhisim is very in touch with supernaturals aswell, how do you know if it's japanese buddhisim or shinto?"

Well let's talk about the minamotos. As you might've read, yorimitsu killed many yokais, so he would be called an exorcist where now are kou and teru, the staff kou has is real and is in some temples, teru's bracelet wards off evil spirits in shinto (rather not talk about the Buddhist thoughts on it....) .well teru's blade is obviously not real as a sword like that would've been impractical.

The temple where Teru and Akane go during the severance is a shinto shrine, we can see this from the Torii gates and the architecture as well. The workers at the temple are also not bald therefore they aren't Buddhist monks. It was also very customary to serve tea to the visitors. On the front gate of the shrine there at this 'weird Rope' with papers attached on it, it's on most temples and its a direct reference to a story involving amaterasu , the sun goddess, wich i wont get into.

The train to the farshore is actually a story itself and the place being full of water isn't just an artistic choice but it rapresents the river to the farshore.

Haha wow this is all to conviniet, yeah I believe in shinto bye I'm writing this in the fucking school bathrooms. Need to start school soon bye.

I'm curious: what type of Yokai do you think Danny would be?

Just imagine if Danny Phantom were set in Japan instead of America! The possibilities would be endless! I've been watching supernatural anime that have inspired me, so I just had to ask. 

I have 4 in mind: 

Yurei: (i think it would be cute to see danny wear those white triangle headbands)

Kitsune: (Generic, I know.) 

Yuki Onna: (Because of his Ice powers) 

Oni: (thought that would be badass)

[colorfuldonutrunaway]

Made the ref sheet for my other main oc, a character who is a romantic asexual.

So I'm going to edit this to explain the metrics a bit more.

*Name: Rei was created by rogue Japanese scientist Akira Watanabe, using the DNA of a deceased Vulpine (a race of sapient fox folk thought to be extinct) and his own genes, effectively creating a strange hybrid son. Legally, this would be his name (in western order) if the Japanese Government knew he existed.

*Nicknames: Americanized version of his first name, and Fox generally being what he's called by employees.

*Race: On account of being a human hybrid, he takes DNA from Dr.Watanabe, and immigrated to America, making him Japanese-American on his human side. His other half is a Vulpine, a race of sapient fox-men who lived on the Japanese isles thousands of years ago and potentially inspired the stories of the kitsune.

*Age: 21 as of 2024, thus being created in 2003.

*Gender: Male, biologically and identifies as such.

*Alignment: Chaotic Good. Ray is willing to do good things, even if it means breaking the rules or doing something risky.

*Job: Scientist who wants to follow in his father's/Creator's footsteps by uncovering secrets of the universe and contributing to the knowledge of humanity.

*Perception and Communication: Has decent sense, and a good communicator, but will sometimes doubt his senses or get nervous.

*Persuasion and Mediation: He can do a decent job convincing people to do stuff by pointing out pros and cons. Mediation is something he isn't great at because he doesn't like getting in the middle of a situation between other people that he's not already a part of.

*Literacy and Creativity: Dr.Watanabe gave Ray access to mountains of literature to learn how to read and absorb information from the world around him. His sense of creativity has blossomed as a result. He can think of many creative ways to solve problems at any given moment, and has been taught how to speak Japanese, English, and Chinese fluently.

*Cooking: Do NOT let this poor bastard cook! It will not end well!

*Tech savvy: Watanabe raised him surrounded by lab machinery, computers, and engineering tools so that he could take care of himself. This has led Ray to be able to efficiently repair most machines, operate with any type of computer, and code effectively.

*Combat: He was given some martial arts training by a local school, but he's still a bit physically weak.

*Survival: Again, given mountains of books and personal training by Akira have given him a good grasp on how to survive in the wilderness (or at least Hokkaido's wilderness) as well as being prepared for emergency situations.

*Stealth: His small size allows him to slink around without detection, but his bright orange fur and tendency to carry gadgets in his pockets can hinder this easily.

*Street smarts: Oof, he hasn't had a chance to socialize growing up, and only left the lab to run errands. So he's not fully familiar with the nuances of how humans behave. This especially hit hard when he arrived in America after Roman found him.

*Seduction: Infertile hybrid + asexuality means he struggles hard. Doesn't help that he's seen more as 'cute' rather than 'sexy', so it destroys any attempts at him being seductive.

*Luck: Isn't anymore or less lucky than the average person I suppose.

*Handling Animals: His fox appearance leads to most animals, especially dogs and cats, being scared or aggressive to him.

*Pacifying children: Children crying or screaming hurts his ears severely, so he refuses to assist in calming one down unless absolutely necessary.

*Strength: Not very physically strong.

*Dexterity: Great with rapidly typing, using weapons, and putting things together quickly.

*Health: Excellent care has led to him having a good body, but he's not going to take a lot of hits in a fight.

*Energy: Very energetic bundle of fur.

*Beauty: Some people find the curly fur on his face aesthetically pleasing.

*Style:...But he wears a lab coat almost 24/7.

*Hygiene: Very fastidious about his fur and how he smells. Being a fox though, he's naturally a little musty.

*Intelligence: Watanabe created him with a brain that can retain insane amounts of information and can learn at quick speeds. Therefore, he's highly intelligent as he knows a few languages, learned the sciences of Astronomy, biochemistry, mathematics, aerodynamics, and ballistics, and is a fan of old literature.

*Happiness: Being raised in an isolated laboratory has made him very self-critical and introspective. Being abruptly taken from his home country to America has also impacted his sense of self with the culture shock. He becomes more chipper when Roman lets him work in his lab and experiment with stuff.

*Spirituality: Raised without religion, Ray becomes agnostic after reading about things relating to the idea of a higher power. But he does no rituals or ceremonies, and attends no place of worship.

*Confidence: He's ready to take on the world and show how intelligent he is. And nothing can stop him.

*Humor: Akira entertained him with access to television, which helped him not be so far removed from the world outside the lab. This also led to him discovering comedy. Ray loves surrealist humor.

*Anxiety: It significantly spiked after Dr.Watanabe's passing and his subsequent kidna-immigration to America by Romanov. But after awhile, he settled into his new home and began to use the lab as his own, reminding him of the good ol' days.

*Patience: He feels like time is a valuable resource, so he refuses to be in a situation that doesn't need his attention.

*Passion: Should've been higher, because he's extremely passionate about science and changing the world for the better.

*Charisma: He knows some basic psychology about humans that he can exploit, but he's not a master of social cues.

*Empathy: This is where it gets kinda strange...Ray has a supernatural power. Referred to as the "Memory-Empath" skill, it allows him to see and feel the memories of others by making eye contact with them for an extended period of time. For example, looking into the eyes of a happy child with their father shows a memory of the child playing a game of catch with their father, and Ray can also feel the sun on the kid's face, the sense of approval from the father, the smell of the grass nearby. This has created a person who is very sensitive to the emotions of others, and he cares deeply for the welfare of his friends.

*Generosity: He's willing to give for a cause and donate things he doesn't need to someone who needs it more, but don't expect big handouts from him.

*Wealth: Not sure what to put here.

*Aggression: Not very aggressive, as he was raised to be very polite and well-behaved by Dr.Watanabe, who in his own right, is a great-grandfather. He's pretty old world.

*Libido: As stated before, being a sterile hybrid and asexual has led to him having a decreased libido. (disclaimer: I'm not saying that asexual people lack them, it's just difficult to turn him on)

I'll add more when I can, but I'm good for now.

rosalia carmen herrera

rosalia, also known as rosie, is a vampire. she never states how old she is unless you are a trusted friend, but she is approximately 130 years old. she was turned against her will because her sire wanted to keep her as something to parade around for her beauty. rosalia has always had a fighting spirit and she made sure her sire knew that when she killed him. she fled home, leaving her family behind with the hope of never returning so that she would not harm them. she spent many years learning how to control her hunger, but in the process, she took many lives. she has also learned over time not to give her trust so easily. rosie is adventurous, charismatic, clear-headed, resourceful, private, strong-willed, and can be petty. she is a no-nonsense kind of woman, not wanting the drama that comes with living in the supernatural world. which comes in handy at her bar, BLOODY MOON ( location is verse dependent, but usually located in a city ). it's a bit on the nose, but she's come to find that sometimes doing so makes things blend in a little easier. her bar is a place where supernatural creatures can come to get drinks and mingle. she doesn't care what individuals do with their lives off of her property so long as they don't bring the drama to her and hers. she has lily who mans the bar but also doubles as security. you do not want to piss lily off. garrette is her bouncer, who is a werewolf. humans are allowed in the bar, but they are not to be harmed. . . on the premises. sometimes rosie helps lily handle the bar. it lets her get information from patrons and build comradery with them — and she gets extra tips. overall, she lives a quiet life and tries to keep it that way for her employees, too. she does do business with locals in order to. . . precure certain drinks and foods for her clientele. her eyes are dark brown but are red when feeding. she has long, dark brown hair that falls into waves past her waist, standing at 5'5".

lily kitagawa

lily kitagawa is a kitsune, an old and powerful one. ever since she was a kit, lily had a knack for using magic well. she learned from her father how to harness this power. she excelled in all areas, especially illusions and protective spells that come with serious repercussions if someone breaks past them. the older she got, the more destructive her spells got— but only if someone was doing something they weren't supposed to. lily is cheerful, witty, loyal, sociable, whimsical, deceptive, blunt, and often times vindictive. while working at blood moon, she does her best to behave, but if someone is stepping out of line, she has rosie's full support in doing what she needs to get that person out. if she has to put her glass down to use her magic, everyone knows it's serious and they best stay out of her way. lily met rosie while rosie was traveling. they spent some time together and grew close, and when rosie told lily of her plan to head back to america to open up her bar, lily decided she wanted to join her. she had grown attached to rosie and wanted to be by her side. it wasn't often she found others who would be able to live as long as she and appreciate what she could do. lily often changes her appearance depending on her mood. her hair is mostly seen as brown, but has been light brown to blonde sometimes. her eyes are a soft blue. she is 5'7". she also has fox ears and multiple tails. when she's working behind the bar, her tails are hidden, just so that she doesn't knock things over.

Recently, I've started writing a MHA (a few years after the final battle) AU, Based on a girl studying abroad (from America) with her other 4 friends, at UA. And I've been struggling with the outfit ideas for their hero costumes, not exactly the best when it comes to ideas, so I used Gacha Life 2 to get ideas for the future drawings! Here are the characters I have so far, the 5 girls and 3 of the UA students. :)

Information Key:

LN - Legal Name | Q - Quirk | HN - Hero Name

LN; Alia Allium Spade-Q; Fierce Wings-HN; Humming

(^My main OC, also portrayed by a few of my online accounts)

LN; Renity Spiritual Spiral-Q; Kitsune, AKA Trickster Fox-HN; Tranquility

LN; Meraki Vivid Dale-Q; Archer-HN; LongShot

LN; Rylee Hope Storm-Q; Elemental-HN; Hurricane

Edit: LN; Rory Rile Vine-Q; Seamstress-HN; Evergrove

I've started on the drawings for the main 4, here's the information and pictures... P.S. this (the drafts) is all being drawn on Roblox

The other characters, the not so important I guess you could say. (Side) Will be put into progress after I finish up the secondary drawing to Hurricane (Rylee) and both drawings of Tranquility (Renity) :)

Edit: a huge change has been made to the story due to IRL drama, Rory and Renity have been switched out, Evergrove (Rory) is now a Foreign Exchange student alongside Humming, Hurricane and Longshot instead of Tranquil.

Tranquil has now been changed to be a villain part of the UOC (Union of Convict) and left from America to Japan to get revenge on her former friends. (This obviously, has put her family in a LARGE amount of debt and flagged her parents on her whereabouts... Meaning said parents contacted Meraki's family, leading to the on edge eerie feeling from the friend group.)

Can You Be a Mother?

//: This is a story in the haikyuu universe revolving around OCs that I’ve made. I own all of the characters in the story minus canon haikyuu characters. Enjoy XP.

Kitsune Academy is Japan's most well-renowned boarding school that’s located in the heart of Tokyo. Students of wealthy and well-respected families have attended this school for years, so when I got my acceptance letter I wasn’t too surprised knowing there were two alumni in my family. 

My name is Amami Rise, first-year at Kitsune Academy, 16-years-old, a Wing Spiker of the Kitsune Volleyball Team, and daughter of Amami Yumiko, better known as one of the best female volleyball players in the world. Her fame started in the 90s when she first graduated Kitsune and got scouted by an international team. Two years later, she got pregnant with me. Her career was put on pause solely because of me but her managers didn’t appreciate the new addition to her family, so she sent me to America where I started living with my aunt so she can continue winning medals and trophies. 

Amami Yumi, my aunt and guardian for the past 18 years…in my eyes at least. I look up to her more than my own mother; she went to UC Berkeley after high school and graduated with a degree in Business. She inherited the family's Sports Company and became a multimillionaire. 

Now that’s the dream.

Both my mother and aunt were well known at Kitsune while they were students. My mother became captain and setter of the team while my aunt became the cheer captain. They were pure opposites but they co-existed in the same environment; I never knew the full extent of their relationship but I had bigger things to worry about. When you’re the daughter of one of the best volleyball players in the world, you have this pressure to also pursue that title. Most people who had been trained by that person since they were six years old would have the determination to do so, but my mother was very…unique with the way she “inspired” me to be a better player. Those methods had caused me to lose so much love for the sport that I found my calling somewhere else. 

“Dermatology? You’re going to med school?” my coach asked. Oh, last but not least; Suzuki Yuna. My volleyball coach and my mother's high school coach as well. She’s been at Kitsune for a good while and she's one of the best coaches I’ve ever had, she knows my mother better than I do and the look on her face gave away her concern with my decision. “Yup, that’s what I want to do. What do you think?” I asked “I mean you’re only in your first year, so you have time to really think about it but, your grades are fantastic and with all the skincare you own I think you know a thing or two about skin. The only thing I’m worried about is her…you know?” she asked. I sighed, “yeah, I actually told her already” I said “...and she said yes?” she asked. 

“Well…it went a lot different than what I was expecting. She basically thought I was joking the whole time then ran off to catch her flight” I said “as expected, you have more than enough time to convince her. Just focus on your spikes and your grades. God, I can’t believe it, you were just a baby and now you’ll be applying to UCLA in two years” she said. I smirked, “let's not speak too soon, I really want to go to Berkely, but I’ll be happy with any Cali school” I said. “She sure will be happy” she mumbled “hm?” I asked “nothing, just talking to myself. I have an interview in a few, I’ll see you practice, oh and don't forget to pick up your jersey. Number 6, just like you requested” she said. 

I smirked, “I won't, I’ll see you coach”, I left that office feeling slightly better for my situation. I told my mother I wanted to go to med-school a year ago, and now I need a plan to tell her again but make it sound believable this time apparently. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I headed up the stairs as I took in the nostalgia of the school I once attended. It’s gotten quit the upgrades since the 90s, but there were still some details that were still standing. Just like the athletics office, still in the same place and still the same size. I entered the office and saw her at her desk, she glanced up at me and stared at me for a moment. “Do I look that bad?” I asked “no! You just haven't aged a bit since the last time I saw you” Yuna said, “aww how sweet of you, how have you been?” I asked, sitting across from her. “Professionally, the years been calm but that’s because we haven't had a game yet, personally…boring” she said “well, I can promise you that it’ll be quite an exciting life from here on out” I said. “Is that a promise?” she asked, “you can say that, so…where is she?” I asked. 

“You actually just missed her, she was in here just now telling me she wants to go to med-school” she said. I gasped slightly, “are you serious? She just got here though” I said “yeah, but she knows what she wants. Wouldn’t you want her to know now then figure it out her last year?” she asked, “I guess not, she must’ve spoken to her about it though, right?” I asked “she did, it went as successful as you think it did. But let's not mingle on matters we aren’t responsible for” she said “speak for yourself, but yeah. You want my resume?” I asked “I really don’t but I’ll take it in case the headmaster needs a copy. You can start working tomorrow, right?” she asked. 

I handed her a stabled resume, “yeah, my apartment is all set already so we’re all go-”

At that moment, the door to the office swung open and a familiar and annoying voice echoed throughout the room. “Yuna! I’ve arrived! You have no idea how much I’ve missed you! Let me tell you, never fly during the weekends, it's so hectic-...Yumi?” Yumiko stood next to me as I glanced up at her. “Yumiko, it’s good to see you” I said, “after years, what are you doing here?” she asked. “I'm on business, it’s shocking to see you in Japan. Did your flight get delayed?” I asked. “No, I just got here. I’ll have you know I’m staying for a whole month thank you very much, Rise is starting her high school journey, and you think I’m going to miss it?” she asked. 

“At least you’re here for something” I muttered, “wait, are you here because of Rise? Is she ok? I can handle whatever problem there is now” she said “Rise’s fine Yumiko, Yumi is here because she’s going to start working here” Yuna said. The room grew silent as Yumiko looked between us in shock, “you’re becoming a teacher?” she asked “an advisor, for the sports department” I said standing from my chair. “You’re going back to cheer?” she asked “for volleyball! Teacher Advisor for the Volleyball Team” I exclaimed. 

I’m fucking sick of her already. 

She gave me a shocked look before letting out small bits of laughter, “wait…are you being serious? She’s going to be the advisor for the volleyball team?” she asked Yuna who was enjoying the show between us. “Uh yeah, she has the sports knowledge for it and has the organization and communication skills. The headmaster really likes her” she said. I looked at Yumiko's face, my sister always had a confident look on her face all her life. It got her the attention she always wanted and the fame she worked so hard for, this time, her brow was twitching and the concern in her eyes were visible.

She’s breaking down. 

“I see, well I hope that goes well for you. I thought you hated volleyball though, you never played with me when we were younger” she said “seeing you train Rise like a slave made me hate it, then I saw how the first years did at tryouts, and I noticed that sports are supposed to be fun for kids” I said. “Excuse me? I train my daughter to be the best, you might not see it because you don’t know the first thing about athletics, but this isn’t just a sport, it’s a lifestyle and a commitment” she said “a commitment and lifestyle Rise doesn’t want, and you’re too egotistical to see that” I said. 

“I’m egotistical?! You’re the one who left your family to study in another country and cut all contact with them for over a decade” she said “Yumiko, you won't even listen to what your daughter, who you claim to love with all your heart even though you’re more busy sipping wine glasses and playing games in Brazil to even call her, really wants to do with her life!” I exclaimed. 

“Don’t ever fucking suggest I don’t love my daughter! I do everything and anything for that girl, and if you're hinting at that damn med-school none-sense, we already spoke about that and you can keep your nose out of it” she said “yeah, real good talk you had. I bet your flight was so sad when they didn't see you at the gates five hours early. If what you say is true you should start showing it, maybe if you were a quarter of the mother Rise needed in her life, she would be a whole hell of a lot happier and confident with her own life!” I exclaimed.  

SLAP

“YUMIKO!” Yuna exclaimed as a stinging sensation was felt on my cheek. “Are you insane! I could have you reported for that, you’re on school grounds” Yuna said examining my face “I deserved it, it’s obvious I shattered her” I said seeing my sister tear up. She stormed out of the office without a second word, leaving me and Yuna alone. The last time I saw my sister cry was the first and only time she lost a game…I never sympathized with her until I lost my first cheer competition because of a stupid move I did that costs us everything. Granted, I do a lot of stupid things that cause me to lose in life.

I think this might’ve been one of them. 

“God you two really haven't changed since high school” Yuna said.

[maverick-werewolf]

You've made so many posts about werewolves, but can you list any other werewolf like creatures from around the world? (Like for example, kitsune and huli jing.) I'd really like to hear about werewolf folklore that don't originate from Europe.

Thanks for asking! I do have many werewolf posts about werewolves that aren't European in origin, as werewolves are what's called a universal legend. However, that only extends insofar in that all cultures where wolves lived have legends of people shapeshifting into wolves, and vice versa. You can find them throughout Europe, Asia, North America, and more, from the wolves who turn into people in China to the shamans of North America who can assume the shape of a wolf. That is referring to a werewolf as a "wolf shapeshifter," rather than a "cursed being" that we usually think of werewolves as being; those legends are universal.

I have posts discussing all of these things (including one diving into Chinese werewolf legends), as well as other wolf legends in general, as wolves and wolf shapeshifters are my field of expertise (as well as bear shapeshifters and many other shapeshifting figures in European folklore, including vampires).

However, specifically werewolves - as in the concept of the werewolf that we call a "werewolf" and think of as being a werewolf in popular culture, a human who becomes a wolf, often but not exclusively as the result of a curse or gift from a higher power of some form, and referred to as a "werewolf" (an Old English word) - did in fact originate in Europe. While not all are, certainly the most common and well-known popular culture concepts of werewolves are ultimately based upon European legends. If you enter werewolf studies, you will primarily (but not exclusively, despite common belief) be studying a plethora of European and Mediterranean cultures.

Anything else should be called what it is, not a "werewolf-like creature." That is doing the other creature a disservice by conflating it with something else (a werewolf), when it is in fact its own unique entity that has nothing to do with werewolves, which are ultimately European in origin (wolf shapeshifters are not, and while we generally will call all those things "werewolves," they will still not be the European-origin man cursed to become a wolf under specific circumstances [and in popular culture can also spread that curse, etc] figure that we think of as being a "werewolf" when we bust out the Halloween decorations). It's essentially Westernizing worldwide myths by relating all shapeshifters back to the most famous shapeshifters of European lore, when we could only logically do that with wolf shapeshifters rather than so many other beings.

A lot of werewolf scholars disagree with my assessment in that regard and want to conflate tons of things into being "werewolves" when they aren't, but I personally feel strongly about keeping all folkloric, mythological, and religious entities apart and, thus, also keeping werewolves as their own thing. Kitsune have nothing to do with werewolves and have essentially nothing in common with them except that they shapeshift into a canid (but they are the fox, whereas werewolves begin as human, at least in the traditional lore we think of as a "werewolf"). While kitsune are shapeshifters, they are not associated with or related to werewolves in any fashion.

Werewolf studies do indeed have a lot of crossover with study of other shapeshifters, but that shouldn't mean other animal shapeshifters are similar to, related to, or the same thing as a wolf shapeshifter/werewolf.

While I study all folklore/myth/etc and I certainly specialize in shapeshifters - due in no small part to personal studies to create my setting of Wulfgard - my primary academic expertise, the subject I will speak upon with real knowledge and authority, is just that: werewolves (when I say this I am referring to the general wolf shapeshifters worldwide as well as those in Europe, and I also specialize in general wolf legends that are not werewolves).

If you'd like to read about kitsune, I highly recommend picking up some books on Japanese myth and culture instead of looking at werewolf things. They'll have much better information than werewolf books and werewolf scholars. While I know some about kitsune from personal studies, I wouldn't be confident telling you things about them as I am with werewolf legends, because I have not thoroughly researched them across multiple sources for many years, as I have wolf and wolf shapeshifter/werewolf legends.

I do hope I don't sound disrespectful or condescending in this post, as that is not at all my intention. Essentially, my argument in terms of werewolf studies is that specifically werewolf studies should extend only so far as wolf shapeshifters. Anything else is not a werewolf and not related to them in any fashion. General shapeshifters should not be conflated with werewolves. I believe that every legend should stand on its own, and while wolf shapeshifters are associated with werewolves for obvious reasons (and werewolves in folklore are not at all always simple, as seen in all my posts), we should not extend that association to any other kind of animal shapeshifter, or we are doing a massive disservice to the robust and fascinating legends that do not - and should not - be simplified to fit under the banner of "werewolves" or "werewolf-like creatures." Kitsune, for instance, are kitsune, not werewolves or associated with them, as kitsune have many tales entirely of their own that shouldn't be done a disservice or simplified in such a manner.

So, sorry if this isn't the response you wanted/expected! I have more general folklore facts coming in the future - two I will be posting before the end of this year, in fact - but my specialty will always remain werewolves (and wolf shapeshifters and legendary wolves of every other kind) specifically.
