Do you have any idea of Kotoshironushi’s extremely contrasting designs?

EDIT: Only noticed after finishing the post that you originally asked about Kotoshironushi, not Hitokotonushi. I had been thinking about this ask for a couple days and the train of thought ultimately led me to Hitokoto and Oumono, as there isn’t much to say about the original Kotoshironushi design by itself! Anyway: 

Basically, the question boils down to “what the fuck is this”:

And largely… I dunno. My guess is that the bizarre bodies of PIGTREE here and his two Okuninushi-sphere brethren are based on something or some depiction of Japanese gods from an anime or manga. I’m especially inclined to believe that after the Cu Chulainn Fairy King crib. These just look too wild to have been original Kaneko creations from that period.

While an anime/manga (or, honestly, a B-movie) might explain the roots and the gremlin bodies, I can elucidate one detail about Oumononushi and Kotoshironushi. Since Oumononushi is ultimately just another name/form of Okuninushi, the mallet he’s holding is probably a reference to Daikokuten’s, himself a derivative of Okuninushi. Considering all three sprites hold a mallet and we know Kaneko drew the sprites first, Oumononushi was probably the model for this nuclear palette swap family.

And as for what Hitokotonushi is a totally sweet pig here, since the god is described as a mountain deity and is encountered on a mountain, Kaneko gave him the head of a mountain animal: the Japanese boar.

That's Called a Threat

A couple sat on the couch in the living room of a cabin. The two were cuddling under a blanket. Jay, blonde short hair with a stripe of purple, wore a comfy sweater snuggling up to her girlfriend. The sight was peaceful and domestic. Jenni held Jay close, an arm wrapped around her and her head resting on Jay's.

   Out of the blue Jenni spoke, "Is it still murder if I give them a heads up?".

   Without moving Jay responds, "That's called a threat.".

   "Damn."

  Silence once again filled the room. Jay snuggled closer meanwhile Jenni just sat there thinking. Is is better to make a threat or just go ahead with the murder?

   "Jenni, love, if you absolutely have to kill someone don't warn them, that'll only raise your chances of being a suspect."

   "And being a suspect is bad because?"

   "Your chances of being caught increase too, dear."

   "Still don't understand what's wrong with that. Getting caught is the fun part about it."

   Jay rose from her position and situated herself so that she was now sitting on her lover's lap. Gently, Jay brought her hands to Jenni's face and looked her in the eye, "Darling, we've talked about this. Getting caught is a no no. You're not allowed to be caught."

  "Whyyyyyy?" 

  "Because I like you and don't want you to be in jail or anything like that."

  "Fine, but only because I love you."

   "Thank you." Jay then dropped her hands and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. Whispering Jay told Jenni, "I love you.".

   "I love you too sweetie.".
