Hello fellow lurkers and possible fox minions! Thought I’d try more experimenting on my Anime & traveling blog by adding more fox spirits onto it. Hope this experiment doesn’t end up getting far too messy, as my blog already is.
May be a bit NSFW, though I shall try and keep it elegant and tasteful the best I can. I prefer beauty and elegance when it comes to these foxes.
(Link – Safebooru) – Let’s get this party started!
(These images are not mine! These came from Pixiv, Safebooru, and various others! If you see your fox image and dislike it being here then do let me know! Just to be safe this article is NSFW – Enter cautiously!)
I’m personally against using other people’s work, though I feel this wouldn’t hurt…..much? I’ve been going by the name of “Arctic Kitsune” since 2007-ish and have barely showed much foxyness around my own blog. Renge, Fubuki, O-Chan, and uh…….my struggling blog mascot – Varcitsu – are the only ones that really make my blog…..foxy.

I have also posted Kitsune’s on figure.fm (Starting from Round 1) as “Kitsune Wednesdays” while pondering if I should carry over the best from there onto here. Experiments, experiments! Anyways, let us see how this goes!
(Link – Safebooru) – Tenko Kuugen – First fox spirit I’ve highly respected and encountered.
(Link – Safebooru) – “You dare mock me?”
(Link – Gelbooru [NSFW page]) – Fox spirits have been around since ancient times, or more commonly known – Feudal Japan.
(Link – Safebooru) – As there is benevolence, so there is malevolence.
Why fox spirits you ask? Their unique personality, their abilities, and uniqueness in the world. The way that they are portrayed interests me in how they can shape-shift, pray on people, alter our perception of the world, how sly they can be, as well as how brutally calculating they can be. Those within Anime also disliked being told what to do, showing defience to those that our-rank or rival them. Their beauty also helped attract me into liking them, especially the art that I’m currently showing on here.
The real reason I love fox spirit is the way they taunt and tease people in the human world. They simply see us as inferior beings using us as kid’s playthings to entertain themselves. They also live longer than us humans, thus the arrogance and prideful personality used against us. They can live up to (or longer) 900 years gaining 1 tail for every 100 years. They would get nine total, one one giant silver one depending on where you read.
At times they are also heard speaking unused ancient languages from various Asian locations (i.e Shinki Renge is based on a fox spirit that speaks old Japanese in a……royal tone).
*Note: I’ll fix the wording for the example once I know how it should be worded.

They are not afraid to show off their pride, personality, and power. They simply want to have fun, eat their favorite foods (i.e Aburrage), drink Sake under a Cherry Blossom tree (most preferred). They also enjoy showing off their individuality, and they especially know where to draw the line of self-importance…..unlike most human females :P.
Sorry, but the ones I came across kept harping how special they were and entered mob mentality causing them to lose their unique traits & awesome personality……Though, I did encounter those that just barely kept their individuality and unique personality. May they still be safe!
Be yourself, not what others want you to be! The pain and struggling is well worth it. Look at fox spirits that continue to show some resistance in being used as messengers, or used as fox familiars. They prefer to do things their own way!
(Link – Gelbooru[NSFW link]) – Miko Foxes are people’s favorite.
(Link – Safebooru) – A nice mix of a fox spirit, traditional music and location.
(Link – Safebooru) – A nine-tailed fox spirit is not one to be messed with, especially with those roasting hot blades. They’re not your average females/males!
(Link – Safebooru) – Innocence is simply a game to feed on your life-energy.
(Link – Gelbooru[NSFW]) – Yet beauty is their main lovable trait.
(Link – Safebooru) – Japan’s respect for Fox spirit is mostly respected.
(Link – Gelbooru[NSFW]) – Fox’s are known for over-beautifying themselves due seduce males.
(Link – Gelbooru[NSFW]) – Minions, quite handy to have when tending to a shrine dedicated to a fox guardian that locals pray to constantly.

– Kitsu Caster/Caster Extra:
I’ve entered Anime officially with Fate/Stay Night and been gifted the chance to command a fox spirit of my own from the same series. Two favorite merged as one! My respect for the Fate/Stay Night series grew twice or three times as high with the beauty and playfulness of our beloved Tama-chan.
She comes from the PSP game called “Fate/Extra” (Review here), and you can command her in either the Japanese (out) or English (US) version (November 11th) as well! I also purchased a T-shirt with her on it that I wore to G-Anime 2011, but nobody could see it :(.
(Link – Safebooru) – Caster’s unique spell-casting dance.
(Link – Pixiv) – Kon!~Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (Link – Pixiv) – She’s a playful and open type of fox.
(Link – Pixiv) – Nyan!~ ….Wait, you’re a fox!
(LInk – Pixiv) – Like she cares….She’s waving her tail in a tauntful manner…
(Link – Safebooru) – Can’t deny that she’s cute even when she eats.
(Link – Pixiv) – A wild Kitsu Caster appeared!
(Pokemon Gameboy reference to those born in new-gen).
(Link – Safebooru)
(Link – Safebooru) – Tsundere!~

(Link – Danbooru) – Fox spirits tend to be quite nasty tempered, especially when provoked.
(Link – Safebooru) – And it’s best not to cross those with bows either!
(Link – Safebooru) – Full-fledged nine-tailed fox with her alternate golden form surrounding her. Quite prideful they can be!
(Link – Safebooru) – Need guidance? They shall assist, but at a cost.
(Link – Safebooru)
(Link – Safebooru) – Too young to drink? Much older than you think! Foklore wise this youngling would be 200 years of age! Also, much more mentally mature than the human younglings! 😛
(Link – Safebooru)
(Link – Pixiv)
(Link – Safebooru) – Playfulness is the name of the Fox game! Kon!~

Well, I think this is a nice start to something that may turn into a nice monthly addition of every Wednesday of every month – Kitsune Wednesdays. Just another attempt at foxifying my blog some more, Kon!~ Also, if you want me to cut down on the text I can do that as well.
And I shall refrain from using fox images from Gelbooru…..quite distasteful kon~
