#Korean folktale

[wannabewallflower]

[ID: A sleeping black bear and tiger sleep curled on a cave floor together. Their heads face to each other, but they do not touch. Between their faces, the bear rests her paw on their supply of garlic and mugwort. The plants curve around the two animals' faces, framing the bear's gentle smile and the tiger's snarl.]

An embarrassingly long time ago, I wanted a new wallpaper for my phone, so instead of finding a pretty picture on the Internet like a sane person, I decided to draw one up for myself. Four months, or 15 hours, later I came up with this!

This is inspired by the Korean myth of Ungnyeo. In the myth, a bear and tiger prayed to the supreme sky god Hwanung because they wanted to become human. The sky god answered their prayer by giving them bundles of garlic and mugwort and instructed them to stay in a cave and eat nothing but the garlic and mugwort, and if they followed his instructions for a hundred days, they would turn into humans.

The bear listened to the god's instructions and transformed into a human woman named Ungnyeo, but the tiger ran out of patience by the twentieth day and left the cave early. The tiger failed to become human, so ever since that failure, tigers have hated and hunted humans. There's more to this myth, but let's focus on the tiger.

I realize that the message of this story is patience good, impatience bad, but whenever I think about this myth, all I can think about are tiger diets. Tigers are carnivores. They can't live off of garlic and mugwort! Bears are omnivores, and they spend their winters stuck in caves, so the bear has no difficulty following the sky god's instructions. The tiger, on the other hand, is starving to death.

I wanted to capture the tiger's frustrations in my wallpaper. The bear sleeps comfortably in the cave's shadows, her face haloed by gently curving garlic stems and leaves, and her expression is peaceful. In contrast, the tiger sleeps closer to the light, their face is overcrowded by spiky mugwort (and by the garlic bulb shoved in their face), and even in their sleep, they're snarling.

In the end, I think I did okay on this piece, but boy, was it a struggle. I have so much respect for artists who can do lineart because I am not one of them. My inability doesn't mean I won't stop trying (lineart pretty, me want), but it does mean I'll spend much, much longer on the pieces I decide I want lineart on.

Storyboarding assignment: Make a 'beat board' out of a fairytale or folk tale.

We were allowed to modify the stories we chose, so I worked with The sun and the moon (a Korean folktale) except I made it take a more vengeful turn.

[quotingmyjourneys]

She was a lovely companion to the gallant rooster. Sprout was envious. She wondered if she had ever been that elegant. And she’s going to hatch an egg! I want to know what that’s like. I wish I could be just like her. Sprout had never paid attention to the way she looked. But she knew she was particularly unattractive right now—bedraggled and featherless. Suddenly ashamed, she huddled into herself and blinked back tears. She didn’t want anyone staring at her bare neck. To console herself, she remembered that she had escaped the coop and was with the yard animals now. Soon I’ll be able to lay an egg. Soon enough! But then she remembered her departure orders. Her future looked bleak. And she was starving.

Kumiho.(nine-tailed fox/Korea)

A kumiho or gumiho is a creature that appears in folktales in East Asia and legends in Korea. It can freely transform, among other things, into a beautiful woman who often set out to seduce boys, and eat their liver or heart(depending on the legend). There ate numerous tales in which the Kumiho appears, several of which can be found in the encyclopedic Compendium of Korea Oral Literature(한국 구비문학 대계/韓國口碑文學).

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.

Non stereotypical Yuri recs:

Her Tale of Shim Chong - probably my favorite modern GL, a fairly dark take on a Korean folktale

Sadistic Beauty Side Story A - shockingly good spin off of a het femdom series. Romantic comedy between two college students with strong personalities. Great balance between smut and romance. Includes BDSM but nothing particularly intense

Renai Idenshi XX - set in a magic academy in an omega-verse like world where men are extinct. All the main characters wear suits iirc and it's arguably butchxbutch which is nice to see.

Your Scent is a Little Sweet - actual lesbian omegaverse, only 20-ish chapters translated so far but it looks promising

Run Away With Me Girl - a woman reconnects with her highschool girlfriend 10 years later and finds out she's engaged to a man, angsty but with a touching payoff at the end

My Princess Charming - very cliche fake dating to real romance story but with lesbians, pretty cute

Best Served Cold - a lonely housewife develops a crush on her hot new neighbor, but is unaware that every move the neighbor makes is part of a careful plan to ruin her and her husband's lives. Toxic, dramatic and soapy.

On a Leash - toxic relationship between two military officers that transform into animals.

Kill Me Now - a girl becomes attracted to the assassin that killed her parents that is also her foster mother

Yuki and the Authoress - cute romance in 1920s Japan, really pretty art

What Does the Fox Say - dramatic love triangle between three women, modern setting, smut with great art

Love Thy Neighbor - modern psychological drama. One of the leads is in her 20s and the other is a much older butch.

Goodbye My Rose garden - bittersweet historical romance between a lady and her maid, set in Victorian England

Black and White (Sal Jiang) - office comedy, enemies to enemies that have sex

I may add more to this list later, this is just whatever stood out to me based on what I've read in the last few years. I tried to pick stories with very different vibes and tropes from each other, and all of these are about adult women except for Renai Idenshi. Thanks to @magnetictapedatastorage for inspiring me to type this up!

"Who are you to say what my fate is - if I am to fail, or if I am to succeed? My fate is not yours to decide. My fate belongs to me." The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh (@axieoh) is an enthralling feminist retelling of the classic Korean folktale “The Tale of Shim Cheong."

[peetae]

i kinda wanna write a new fic (has not written in ages)

so basically my idea is like a folklore au where its based off the Korean folktale of the heavenly maiden and woodcutter (like loosely based, some stuff is gonna be changed and i want to give them a happier ending cause i cant do tragedies lol. angst sure but sad endings no) where aziraphale is the angel (obvi) and crowley is the woodcutter.

idk if anyone would be interested in that though lol. still gonna do it anyways. i thought up this idea a month or two ago. this is one of the few folktales i know/remember.
