#ungnyeo

[lepeltge]

The rabbit nuzzled up into his arms, both of them heavy and full after a huge Chuseok meal. His dad sat similarly across the table, hands on his stomach. It was hard to believe that his yearly Chuseok was spent with his singular biological family member and the daltokki himself, but he’d never change it, as strange as it was.

Our last member introduced!! He was born in 2000, so no Joseon era outfit for him! Jongho is actually only a half spirit, with his dad being a human and his mom being an Ungnyeo (bear woman). She passed when he was born, but one of his mom’s old friends (Seonghwa) helps keep him connected to the spirit side of his heritage. Because of this, he lives a relatively normal life, with the exception of being able to see spirits and interact with them (and also sometimes turn into a bear).

Our Umma Ungnyeo / 우리 엄마 웅녀

A tiger and a bear wanted to become human, so the divine king Hwanung told them to wait in a cave out of the sunlight for 100 days and gave them a bundle of mugwort and a braid of garlic bulbs to eat.  Tired and hungry, the tiger left the cave after 20 days.  But the bear was steadfast and Hwanung granted her humanity the very next day.  She became Ungnyeo, mother of Dangun, the first king of Gojoseon.

I love all the characters so far, but honestly I'm just really excited to learn about the folklore. I've always loved mythology and folklore but I've never heard of any Korean until I found this. Super excited, thank you for making this ❤️

thank you! i'm glad i can share some of my country's history with you guys 🤗

here's a fun myth! the founder of gojoseon (the first korean kingdom), dangun is the son of the prince of the heavens (hwanung) and a bear that transformed into a woman (ungnyeo). the day dangun founded gojoseon is considered a national holiday! it's called gaecheonjeol, or national foundation day. some say that the day is actually celebrating the day hwanung descended from the heavens, but it depends on who you ask.

(fun fact: gojoseon was located around modern-day liaoning, which is in the northeast of china. if it sounds familiar, it's also because that's around the area where the mc was born!)

There's a Korean myth about Ungnyeo, a bear who wished to become human - and succeeded.

The tiger from the same story failed the (kind of unfair...) test given by the gods and remains an animal, so in my painting series, the potential human form turns away from the viewer, back to nature.

After being on show at a couple group exhibits in Seoul, now, there's prints of both the Bear and the Tiger here.

단군신화 // The Myth of Dangun

Posting later as I often do, but since yesterday was 개천절 (National Foundation Day; celebrated on Oct. 3rd), I wanted to share the Korean foundation myth~

First, here's some important vocab for this story!

신화 - myth

환인 - Hwanin: the god of the Heavens

환웅 - Hwanung: the son of the god Hwanin, he came down to earth to help people

단군왕검 - Dangun Wanggeom: the son of Hwanung & Ungnyeo, he is the legendary founder of Gojoseon (the first Korean kingdom)

웅녀 - Ungnyeo: a bear who turned into a woman

곰 - bear

호랑이 - tiger

동굴 - cave

마늘 - garlic

쑥 - mugwort

And here's a cute video from the Korean Cultural Center of LA telling the story:

[ilikedyourablogithere]

SPOILER 2: CASAS.

JOSHIN

Pátronos: Jowangshin, Bari Gongju.

Cor: Vermelho.

Elemento: Fogo.

Mascote: Bulgae (cão ou lobo de Sobaeksan).

Guiados majoritariamente pela Deusa do Fogo, Jowangshin, e pela princesa abandonada do submundo, Bari Gongju, a casa é apelidada carinhosamente de “Joshin”. Muitos podem se deixar levar pela emoção e esse é o forte de muitos Joshins que temos por aqui. Tudo o que envolve a sensibilidade é um grande conforto para os moradores. Alguns podem nem se demonstrar tão “sensíveis” assim, mas no fim, a grande maioria é sangue quente e nervos a flor da pele. Pelo menos, por dentro. São intensos e podem ser considerados até um pouco exagerados. Alguns também podem ter sofrido com algum tipo de abandono durante a vida... Mesmo assim, tal como as escrituras contam sobre a Deusa Jowangshin e seus cinco tabus, aqui também temos os seguintes:

1. Não falar palavrão na lareira.

2. Não sentar na lareira.

3. Não colocar o pé na lareira.

4. Manter a cozinha limpa.

5. Não adorar outras divindades na cozinha.

Embora alguns façam piadas com essas regras, tem quem leve a sério… Eu não quebraria essas regras, nunca se sabe a consequência que pode vir.

MIREUK

Pátronos: Mireuk, Jacheongbi.

Cor: Verde.

Elemento: Terra.

Mascote: Ungnyeo (urso de Ungnyeo).

Normalmente, estudantes de áreas que envolvem diplomacia se encontram na Mireuk, assim como aqueles das exatas, fãs de lógica, ou os 8 e 80. Aqui também se encontra parte do pessoal amante da natureza. Pés no chão, estáveis, tranquilos… Não são impulsivos como os Joshin, pensam muito antes de tomar alguma atitude e sempre optam pelo lado racional das situações. Materialistas e mãos de vaca: esse pessoal também sabe cuidar das finanças como ninguém. Muitos dos riquinhos e playboys também se encontram aqui. Ou melhor, aqueles que acumulam suas fortunas sem muito esbanjar. Normalmente sabem discernir muito bem entre o bem e o mau, o que é certo ou errado. O fato de serem mais racionais, às vezes, os impedem de viver aventuras ou tomar novos rumos que podem ser benéficos.

HABAEK

Pátronos: Habaek, Yeongdeung Halmang.

Cor: Azul.

Elemento: Água.

Mascote: Imoogi (dragão da água).

Poderosos e influentes como a força da água, podem destruir o que vêem pela frente, assim como podem ser vitais para a harmonia entre todos. Sem dúvidas, é a casa com o maior poder aquisitivo, apesar das outras três anteriores também estarem bem nesse quesito. Mas aqui, os moradores gostam de esbanjar mais. Estudantes de famílias ricas, influentes e conhecida como a casa dos "rostinhos mais bonitos" (talvez por conta de tantas cirurgias plásticas e procedimentos estéticos que podem ser pagos), parece que tudo gira ao favor dos Habaek. Podem ser volúveis assim como Habaek se tornou uma ovelha e um veado. Estudantes de cursos mais concorridos costumam estar por aqui, assim como aqueles de cunho artístico ou os famosos "Administradores porque herdaram uma empresa". Embora o mascote seja um dragão, algum movimento já ocorreu para que fosse alterado para o veado, mas até hoje, não houve mudança... Ao contrário da natureza fluida e adaptável dos Habaeks, que se assemelham um pouco aos Mireuk.

"Every crackhead says they're not a crackhead, and you know why? Because they are crackheads." And if TJ didn't say it, someone else would. No, they probably had. In a weird way, TJ was trying to look out for Kevin, but it was unlikely it came across that way.

"You're not a damn werewolf." He rolled his eyes, refusing to even give in to the idea. "Kevin, I'm telling you this for your own sake. If you go around telling people you think you might be a werewolf, one of those people might be OEA, and they will hunt you. They will kill you. Got it?" He had to shut down Kevin before he got himself killed. "Just like a bear didn't attack you. Were you ever told the story of Ungnyeo? If you know that story, then you know Ungnyeo would never leave her cave." The tiger in that story would, however, TJ was not going to give in to the notion of a tiger attack for the sake of reality.

"When did I ever leave? Dude, I left my car here when I went to check up on some shit. That ended up taking a couple more days than I intended, plus there was no signal." TJ had a bunch of excuses-explanations, and none involved aliens. With a sigh, he added, "Why not leave the detective work for the detective squad? Come on, Kevin, you know better. Why are you so hell-bent on adding to people's panic? You're a cop. Act like it."

"I'm not a crack-head, I'm just a bit dizzy sometimes. Fricking hell." Kevin snapped before taking a long obnoxious slurp of his coffee. There was an eyebrow quirk. "That's not what everyone is saying." Kevin hummed to himself.

"Then I'm a werewolf then." Kevin said with a exasperated groan. "I'm a fucking furry TJ. This is so weird man." Kevin said throwing his head back. "We're going to have to wait for a whole ass whole moon." Kevin sighed. "At least you know your Eomma." He said feeling sad. "I'm stuck as a foster kid."

"Wolves would never." Kevin said thinking of the Kenners. "Vampires maybe but I'm not sure." Kevin raised his hands in the air. "Maybe Godzilla is the key. To destroy and start all over." Kevin said. "We live in a shitty world TJ. And I want to believe there's other life that can help us."

Kevin rolled his eyes. "Have you considered the missing people were abducted." Kevin looked TJ in the eyes. "Why did you return." Kevin questioned. "Maybe you're not human my dude. Whatever is doing this aren't human either." Kevin forced himself to stand up. "Doesn't even have to be aliens, maybe a vampire who has a thing for bodies." Maybe he was about to crack the case.

Owner Training - 8

- YOONGI POV -

He knows exactly how long he’d lived on the streets. Seven hundred and fifteen days. Almost two years. Not long compared to many of the other hybrids that had roamed the area, but long enough for him. It had been cold and miserable, and he’d always had to fight for a spot under the park bridge when it rained. He’d been hungry and constantly sick, but it was still better than it had been living in any of his other previous homes.

He’d been smart when he left the last one, taking along his keyboard that a social worker had given him. Playing on that had allowed him to make enough money to keep himself fed, thanks to the guy that ran the convenience store and didn’t mind hybrids buying things for themselves. There was also the little old lady that ran a hostel nearby that let him pay for a shower and a nap, slipping him soup and sandwiches sometimes.

And then there’d been her.

The first couple of times he saw her hadn’t been some sort of love at first sight story. She’d simply been another face in the crowd that would stop by when he played, clapping and throwing some change in his bucket. It wasn’t until she’d asked if he could play Il Lamento by Liszt that he’d bothered to take a good look at her. Then once he’d looked, he couldn’t stop. Suddenly he noticed how pretty she was, how she always smelled sweet and clean with a hint of the same lemon and ginger tea every single day. How she never talked down to him. 

Before long, he’d begun to look forward to her visits. Sometimes she’d bring him breakfast and chat for a while ( meaning he’d let her ramble on while he set up his spot for the day) before she left for work. Sometimes she’d stop by after a hard day at work and simply sit on a bench with her eyes closed, listening to him play. He always made sure to play something soothing on those days. 

Occasionally she’d throw him way too much money which made him feel really awkward, so he’d offer to do something more to earn it. Usually, she just had him carry groceries or something else equally small just to humor him. 

It was every time that she was too busy to show up that he realized he was growing alarmingly attached to this human. That was not a clever thing to do, and he’d always prided himself on being a smart and realistic guy. Humans weren’t to be trusted. They would pretend to be loving and caring, then the moment no one was watching they’d turn their hybrids into slaves and sex toys. 

But then there was her, Ginger. That wasn’t her real name, of course, just what he’d taken to calling her in his head. She always smelled like the lemon and ginger tea she obviously drank often. He got so used to smelling it as soon as she arrived that he’d begun to equate that scent with...comfort? Home? He didn’t know. It’s not like she was his owner or anything, but his hind-brain was certainly attached to her. 

The point was that he trusted this woman for some reason that he couldn’t quite figure out. She seemed genuine and caring, but so had others in his past. She seemed a little ditsy sometimes, but that wasn’t a bad thing exactly. It was kinda cute, to be honest. 

So yeah, there were a few times he’d daydreamed about what life would be like if someone like her was his owner. Sure, he’d like to be able to not have to have an owner at all, but that wasn’t the reality of his life. Somehow, however, he thought if it was Ginger maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. She was nice, really pretty, and seemed to like him just as much. 

So maybe when the most horrible storm of the year had happened and he’d been shit out of luck getting a spot under the bridge, he decided to take a shot. Worst case scenario, she called Hybrid Control. Best, she’d let him stay for the night. So he’d run towards the familiar apartment building only to find that she was still at work. All the lights were off and the door was locked. He could have slept on the porch, and he’d had every intention of doing so until he’d seen the wide-open window. 

He’d sighed in exasperation at her forgetfulness. Really, anyone could just jump inside the first-floor apartment and steal her shit. He’d been racked by shivers, the cold rain firming his resolve. Better to ask for forgiveness than die of pneumonia. 

He’d climbed into the bedroom window, cringing at the muddy prints he made on the floor. He’d clean it up before she got home. He sniffed, nearly moaning in happiness. It smelled so great in her apartment. He could smell her everywhere. There were occasional scents here and there that weren’t hers, but they were so faint that they obviously belonged to visitors. 

He’d been terrified, honestly, but he’d been so desperate and lonely and just emotionally drained that he’d decided fuck it. If she freaked out and kicked him out on his ass, well, better to get it over with now before he got even more attached. 

So he’d turned on the heat, showered, and grabbed some sweat pants from her dresser. At first, he hadn’t meant to fall asleep in her bed. He’d planned on just sitting there and waiting for his doom, but then the heat was so nice and the covers looked so soft and smelled so much like her that he figured just for a minute. He’d just try it out for a minute because it had been so long since he’d slept in such a nice bed. 

When she’d woken him up after she came home, he’d been terrified. Of course, he’d long mastered the art of seeming nonchalant even while his heart was pounding so hard he was afraid it would burst. So he’d bluffed his way through, hoping that she was really as much of a bleeding heart as she’d always seemed. 

Thank fuck she was, because she simply allowed him to stay with minimal fuss. In fact, he’d even gotten her to go along with him living there instead of just for the night. Of course, she’d obviously been too confused by what was happening to protest anything, but once again her ditziness was part of her charm. 

That first night in her bed would live in his memory forever. It wasn’t like much had happened, but it was something to him. He’d felt...safe. Probably the last time he’d genuinely felt that way had been when he was a kitten and didn’t know any better. But laying next to her wrapped in warmth and her scent, their legs tangled together and his tail pulling her close...he’d been safe. 

The days that had followed were like a dream. Every time he thought it was time for her to show her true colors, she’d surprise him instead by showing that her heart was bigger than her brain. Despite the way he forced himself into her life, she made every attempt to make him feel like he belonged there. She took him shopping, tried to cook for him despite being horrible at it, bought him a cell phone so that she could text him while she was at work. She went out of her way to find his favorite foods and shows and anything else she could spoil him with. She took care of him when he was sick and always let him sleep in the bed with her. 

After a while, he began to forget that there was a time before her. There were still times where he’d call himself a fool for trusting a human, but she just had to smile at him like he was her whole world for him to think that she was the exception. She was the real deal and he wanted to be good enough for her. 

When he realized that his feelings were veering into the forbidden territory of maybe actually loving this dumb human, he’d been terrified once again. Would it be better to keep it to himself and learn to live with it when she eventually got into a relationship someday, or tell her and risk losing her completely? Because, while she’d never treated him like a pet he was still a hybrid. Hybrid and human relationships were still viewed as “kinky,” something he didn’t think she was...well, not without a bit of training in the future anyway. 

Learning that her own brother was in an actual committed relationship with his hybrid had been an eyeopener. She’d never expressed a single bit of disgust or disdain towards the relationship at all. They simply were a regular couple in her mind. Despite the small bump with the way she introduced him to people, he thought maybe that meant she would be okay starting something with him. Honestly, he sometimes got the feeling that she did have feelings for him already and just didn’t realize what that meant yet. He’d learned that Ginger needed to have things pointed out to her plainly in order to understand, so maybe even this was that sort of situation. 

So, when his heat suddenly snuck up on him after years of being completely irregular, he’d figured what could be plainer than waving your dick around? 

Truthfully, he’d been a little worried that she’d freak out, but at the same time when you’re overcome with loving someone and extreme horniness you don’t make the best decisions. Thankfully, what had followed had been the best sex of his life. And even more amazing, she’d admitted that she loved him back. Him! She actually loved him even though he was a grumpy asshole most of the time and he knew it. But luckily for her, she always brought out his softer side and he’d do anything for her. 

He wanted to stay with her forever. To love her, mate her, see her belly swell with their children. To wipe her tears when she’s sad or comfort her when she’s worried. He wants to be there when she’s old and grey to remind her every day that she’s still beautiful. 

He still had a long way to go to be worthy of her, but he’d spend his whole life trying.

It's a little short, I apologize. I've been working like crazy, but I am working on many more chapters for this as well as my other stuff. Lots of things in store for these kids. I just felt like we needed a peek into Yoongi's brain real quick.
