Yep. I can imagine what i would say which goes along the lines of "No matter how terrifying you are, how deadly you are, or how hostile you are, we as humans can endure longer. No matter how many of us you may strike down, we will continue to grow stronger than you ever imagined. It may not be now, it may not be generations from now, but eventually, EVENTUALLY, you WILL fuck one of us, whether out of true desire, or morbid curiosity, and in that regard, we have already won"

I see what you did there. For mythological context, the Kitsune in question was Tamamo-no-Mae, one of the infamous Three Terrible Yo-kai of Japan, who was a famous trickster and seductress who charmed her way into the Imperial court in order to corrupt and destroy as many monarchs as she could. When she was eventually found out, chased down, and slain, her spirit possessed the rock in question, and her malevolence seeped to the surface as a deadly poison, killing anything it came in contact with. That was, until a priest came along, reconciled Tamamo's spirit, and set her free, thus causing the rock to shatter.

[@typhoonhurricane18]

@@demonicprinter Well generally; the female can be persuaded NOT to eat the male if he can provide her with sufficient food as a replacement. If the male's gifts are enough to keep the female sated for long enough he can mate with her and get out of there without dying. However given the relatively short lifespan of males most only really bring enough to keep the female busy during sex because it's likely their only chance for it in their lifetime anyway so there's not much need to be concerned with escaping. Translating that into humanoid spider-women; wait on her hand and foot (all 8 of them), constantly feed her and attend to her every whim and she MAY decide to let you live so long as you're useful.

1:20 Honestly, Youkai being translated to Demon is the mother of all mistranslations. Demons are very specifically evil Angel's fallen from heaven. Youkai are spirit-ish creatures that take on all manner if roles, good evil and neutral. Calling them Fae woukd probably be more accurate.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

And that’s why I feel that there’s a connection between the myths of the Britanian archipelago and the Japanese archipelago. Yokai and fae are just way too similar, from how varied their appearances are, to their actions, and even the stories about some of their domains doing weird shit. I think it’s the meridian, combined with where they’re at on their respective plates. The walls between worlds might actually be thinner there.

[@torazely]

While I agree Yokai being called demons is wrong, demons are actually not Fallen Angels. Fallen Angels are their own class of creature. Demons are the spawn of Adam's first wife Lilith after she was banished from Eden.

[@clayxros576]

@@torazely Where in the Bible is that? Because the Bible is pretty clear on the origin, and relation, between angels to Fallen to demons. Also to my memory and reading Lilith isn't recorded.

[@torazely]

@@clayxros576 first off, the Bible has no reference to how Angels or demons came to be. They just show up at some point. Secondly, she's from Jewish folklore, meaning she was most likely purposefully excluded from the Bible when it was being written, considering women weren't allowed much freedom or agency in th past, therefore attempting to validate the sexist male-dominated society by saying that women were purposefully made to submit to men.

[@clayxros576]

@@torazely The Bible records God's dealing with humans, and therefore describes how Earth was created. Not the Heavens, and by extension Angel's. However Demons are explicitly noted as being thrown out from Heaven, and further following Satan. Demons follow Satan, and aren't differentiated from fallen angels. Thus they are, logically, the same thing. Jewish mythology isn't Hebrew mythology. God disowns them for a pretty clear reason, especially because they were well known (and called out) for mixing their beliefs with other beliefs systems. Lilith isn't recorded in the Bible, thus she didn't exist. Otherwise it would have recorded her and her progeny. You're making alot of assumptions about the Bible.
