Once again, the tiangou has been thwarted in its effort to eat the sun.

Speeddraw

Type: MYTH

Breed: Tiangou | 天狗

Weapon(s):

•Claws [m]

•Baoding Balls[r]

•Light-Eater (consumes all light in an area to plunge it into absolute darkness while temporarily increasing his own physical abilities)[p]

This is Heiya. Still considering the characters, but likely going with 黑牙 (Heiyá). Literally means black tooth, sounds a little like 黑壓壓 (heiyaya) which means dense and dark.

He's themed after a tiangou, a mythical creatures said to eat the sun or moon during an eclipse. He's a cheerful, hungry guy.

He's also part of this group of other mafia-ish kemonomimis.

To Helle: what are your boundaries with Beck? What behaviour would you accept and not accept from him? And under what circumstances would you willingly stake him?

-@anonymous-tiangou

"Mmm, that depends... Mostly on my mood, really. On a good day, I tolerate almost anything! On a bad day, he might get smacked for no reason. There are of course hard lines in the sand, such as escape attempts, attempts on my life, feeding without permission, leaving the mansion alone... Those will always result in some kind of a punishment. Not for a moment will I allow him to think that those things are acceptable."

They pause to try and find an answer to your third question. "As for staking him... Oh dear, I cannot think of anything. That is quite embarrassing... Have I gone soft?"

Made a bunch of sprites for a dating sim style guy! Is his name a little on the nose? yes

Me when I make self inserts for other media to ship with other characters but it doesn't last so that s/i just gets used for kiawren and my brain adapts kia/we into that media so it's just an au kiawren. Fake "I will find you in every universe" otp when kiawren walks in

updating jie’s main weapons from just tiger hook swords to also include meteor hammer and rope dart

[lawful-evil-novelist]

For reasons beyond me when my brain tasked me with making a khaenri'ahn oc, my brain decided that his method of hiding that from people was to let the random weird bird girl that found him and the stoic lady that takes care of her just call him a different name and he just goes with it.

[kiawren]

Gut's Daimon

The Beast of Darkness is offering Guts powers in exchange for yielding himself. Which begs the question to what it is.

It seems like it's more then a figment of Guts imagination since Griffith noticed its presence which is significant.

I have a theory that it is a daimon. Daimons are high class spirits that exist in deep domain of the Astral World. With some of them being humans.

It has been suggested a couple of times that Guts will use the Beherit. But I think there will be a twist and that Guts is already a reincarnation. I think the Beast was a daimon that reincarnated into Guts.

I think the Beast's offer is to tell Guts his true name so he can transform and gain power.

There is an evil opposite of a daimon called a kaikodaimon I think that is what the Beast is. The Astral World is split into light and darkness. And I think Flora hinted at it when she said demons and angels in the deeper layer of the Astral World which is where the Daimons reside.

The Beast of Darkness takes the form of a canine and I think there is a link to the Black Dog Knights.

Also Guts was called a mad dog by Casca.

And appeared as a dog in Casca's dream world.

It's odd that Wyald named his unit the Black Dog Knights even though he looks like a monkey. Not only is he called one by others but acknowledges it himself.

During his fight with Guts Wyald states that he hadn't been hurt that bad in a hundred years.

Which is when the Midland-Tudor War started, I don't think this is a coincidence.

I think the Beast was the original of commander/lord of Doldrey who dressed in dog shape armor. I think Wyald helped Tudor capture Doldrey and the Beast inflicted that would on him. I think Wyald adopted his moniker in homage/mockery. I think after dying he became a daimon.

I think he was mentioned by Guts as the noble who roasted women, children and entire town. I don't think this tidbit was random I think it's important.

I think he got the info from Griffith who studied history. Or Guts read about it himself to learn the history of Doldrey in preparation for that battle.

Guts depicts this noble as a zealot which I think is one reason why the Beast reincarnated and wants to kill Griffith. Griffith is an enemy to the church, their scripture warns about Griffith's coming.

Also I think he wants revenge for the fall of Doldrey. I think the God Hand manipulated those events in their grand plan which is why Wyald was there.

There is precedent Zodd intervened in Guts' battle to ensure the Eclipse happened.

Skull Knight mentioned that Guts might have some ties to the elves. I think the Beast went to them to reincarnate.

The Peekaf story showed that elves can grant wishes similar to the God Hand. And most of the things in that story ended up being true, an example being time dilation.

A hole in my theory is Schierke not noticing this but a person's Od can be hidden. Danann could not sense Griffith within the Moonlight Boy.

Along with the witches they couldn't figure out what the Moonlight Boy was.

Another headcanon I have is that Gambino's and Shisu's biological son was meant to become Griffith's other half. I thought Guts might have been a replacement used to mess up the God Hand's plans. He is reminiscent of a changeling and Guts has a potential link to the elves.

And he was called a devil's child by Gambino which is one of the definitions of a changeling.

I think it will be massive callback to the King's statement about how would be fitting for Griffith to be killed by the black hounds of Hell.

I think the Beast is also inspired by the tiangou a mythological black dog that is capable of eating the moon. The moon is uses to represent the power of causality/the God Hand.

Complimentary Colors on AO3

When a strange dog shows up in Red Son's house he knows exactly who to call for her expertise. However, no one else is able to take this creature, who is actually Tiangou the Heavenly Dog, in themselves, so it's up to Red Son and Mei to watch him until the next eclipse. Also, Red Son has come down with Feelings. Of course.

Sandy scratched his head as Mo scampered onto his shoulder for safety. “If he’s a heavenly guard dog, what’s he doing here?” “Yeah, that’s what I wanna know!” agreed MK. “It’s really late to try and track you down for being a demon who broke into the Celestial Realm.” Tiangou raised his head and narrowed his eyes at Red Son from under the table, as if this was new information for him. “An incident which you were involved in as well, noodle brain!” retorted Red Son. Tiangou turned to MK, who scooted his chair back with a nervous laugh. Mei scratched Tiangou behind the ears. “Well it seems to me that Tiangou has just been trying to take a bite out of the wrong red “son” lately, hahahaha!” she leaned back laughing at her own joke, clutching her stomach as she laughed. She knocked her knee against Red Son next to her. “You get it? Bec-” “Yes, yes,” he grumbled.

Dragonfruit aka Red Son/Mei, a dash of family feels, and lots of fun awaits!

MDZS Shapeshifting Cultivation AU plans

this is mostly just a note for my future fanfic writing, because I have a lot of fic ideas surrounding these ideas and plan to link this post in their notes. posting this publicity for any feedback (pls i beg any ideas) and if anyone wishes to use this as well for fics go ahead!!

Non-cultivators do not have animal traits. These traits come through by learning shape-shifting cultivation.

Not only is it extremely difficult to learn to hide their traits, it is extremely rude to do so for many reasons. The main and biggest reason is hiding your traits as a cultivator is like a big “fuck you” to your ancestors.

While there is A LOT of genetic factors, that is not always the case. The genetic factor is usually just upon the main clan families. A cultivator can never gain traits from the main clans, so they are seen as mythical beings even within this universe.

For rogue cultivators it’s USUALLY random, and can even be from the outer clan types. This is because somewhere in their family tree far back there would have been someone from this clan.

Cultivator children born within a main clan branch have their animal traits from a very young age, and they do not typically change beyond a FEW exceptions. If these changes ever happen, even to outer branching families it’s seen as negative, as they have “abandoned” their clan.

Qishan — Wen family are wolves, outer branches are based on house dogs

lmao wwx is scared of dogs it’s perfect

Wen Rohan — Black wolf (like a Tiangou)

Wen Chao — Brown wolf

Wen(Zhao) Zhuliu — Asian Black Bear, often confused as a dog bc he was taken in by the Wens and all that

Wen Ning — Siberian Husky

Wen Qing — German Shepherd

Wen Yuan — Rabbit (??? i’ll explain it in the fic. maybe. maybe it’s better to just leave it a mystery LMAO)

Yunmeng — Main Jiang family wild/big cats, otherwise house cats

Jiang Fengmian — Leopard

Yu Ziyuan — Spider

Jiang Cheng — Lynx

Jiang Yanli — Tiger

Wei Wuxian — Black Fox

Wei Changze — Maine Coon

Lanling — Main Jin family are Peacocks, otherwise birds

Jin Guangshan — Peacock, normal coloring

Jin Zixuan — Peacock, normal coloring

Jin Guangyao — Peacock, white coloring

Qin Su — Peacock, Red coloring, was thought to be a phoenix so… yeah that. happened.

Mo Xuanyu — Peacock, Charcoal/Black colored, often called a crow to belittle his heritage

Jin Ling — Qiongqi

Xue Yang — an actual crow

Qinghe — Main Nie family are Qilin, others are other horned beings (deer, moose, sheep, ect.)

Gusu — Only main family are Dragons, others are bunnies (how does this make sense? it doesn’t but it just is how it is.)

Also, eastern dragon, not western. Wormji.

Lan Wangji’s mother was a White Long-tailed weasel.

Other

Song Lan — Black bat (it’s funny bec–)

A-Qing — a mole

Baoshan Sanren and her disciples become Nine-Tailed Foxes through cultivating. One of if not the only exceptions to changing attributes the cultivation world has ever seen. Nobody knows how it’s done, and only her disciples have ever become nine-tailed foxes.

This pisses off the Wens no doubt, because they think as canines the Nine-Tailed Fox should belong to them.

Cangse Sanren was a grey nine-tailed fox

Xiao Xingchen was a white nine-tailed fox

Fics based on this post

none yet, I’ll add my links when I post them though if anyone else uses this post and wants me to add their fic link feel free to let me know!

You can use the ideas in this post without credit, I’m fine with it ^^
