True, but buddhism is also about improvement. You're supposed to deal with the suffering, not try to ignore it and hope it will go away.

Unfortunately I have no pics in the way of buddhist religious figures, so have a foxgirl getting pleasantly and moderately responsibly intoxicated for recreational purposes.

The better to seduce you and enter your body from under the fingernails to possess you and give you an unhealthy liking to fried tofu and socially unacceptable habits with.

Fap, shlick, details, details.

This thing.
Can't get her out of my head, and it's not even a named character. It's not even a character I care for very much, and still keeps coming back. I've become haunted by foxes.
It's a quite pleasant haunting.

"... this nation where the customs are arcane and the laws the word of the gods..."

Next to all Westerners who spent any significant time in Tokugawa Japan commented on how the Japanese were either unwilling to discuss or outright ignorant of the origins of many customs unique to Japan. And fox spirits in China and Korea lack that particular part about tofu.

Guess the answer lies somewhere on the other side of Tokugawa victory at Sekigahara, and the obviously changed social and cultural climate that comes with national isolation.

I'm following a deity whose main concerns are rice, more rice, and foxes.

I'm not in a position to judge nor criticise when it comes to religion.

Undoubtedly oni. Though for some reason I have nearly no non-Touhou oni pictures. Have a preference for the older "gods of thunder and terror"-take on oni from back before the Japanese learned to draw anything but cave paintings.

On second place, fox spirits in all their variations. Because of shapeshifting and the curiously great variation, ranging from mundane animal to loving wife and mother to pre-Lovecraftian unnameable horror.

Would you say no to this face?

You have my most sincere interest.

Random nameless fox woman.

She appears to be haunting me. Maybe I forgot to wash before eating and she entered under my fingernails. Never know with them foxes.

Foxes enjoy secrecy.

If legend is to be believed, supposedly a kitsune revealing its tails or fox ears is something very intimate.

... modern art completely disregards this idea, for better or for worse.

For clarification, "legendary heroes" are not in any way superhuman - they are just plain humans that have the attributes of a legendary hero. The attributes are also individual, thus there is no actual predefined attribute that is always that of a legendary hero.

For example, Yamato Takeru had the powers of crossdressing, ripping arms out of their sockets, whining about small birds and mercy towards albino pigs in addition to being a legendary hero.
Even the grimmest mythology is kind of hilarious.

>I don't care about fox girls that aren't in porn.

The great and mighty Inari isn't picky with her worshippers.

I never quite understood how to interpret that part. It would seem as Cthulhu is just as much a seasonal phenomenon as a living creature.
At the same time, it is stated that Cthulhu is capable of communicating on a mental level while hibernating (although for a human the "communication" is more like all-consuming insanity on the receiving end), while the original short story makes little mention of this occuring while Cthulhu is out walking. Could this be taken to mean Cthulhu, as an organism, exists in two different forms depending on the occasion? Similar to if a dragonfly could shed its wings and become aquatic once more at the onset of Winter.

Posting Japanese creature of unspeakable horror and madness consuming the fragile human mind, because I don't really have a lot of Cthulhu pics.
