Be Honest: You Write For That Keyboard Asmr Sound

be honest: you write for that keyboard asmr sound 😂

The Kumiho is a shapeshifting creature of Korean legend. A nine tailed fox who has learnt to take human form, they typically transform into beautiful women to (literally) eat the hearts of unlucky young men.

There are many tales of shapeshifting, multi-tailed foxes (with nine being the desirable number) but what sets the Kumiho apart from the others is the source of their power. Each Kumiho is said to carry a bead, called a yeowoo guseul, which their power comes from. They are able to drain the energy of a human by inserting and retrieving the bead from a human’s month (under the guise of kissing). 

This is a risky method - if a human steals and swallows the bead they can grain incredible knowledge.

More Myths 

One upside to being a writer is you can write your own comfort fic. The downside is you still have to actually write it.

I saw your post about Korean mythology, do you have any sites/books you would recommend? I recently have gotten into Celtic mythology and I would love to learn more about Korean mythology! Sorry if this is a weird question!☺️ - @starlitpage

ahhh hello @starlitpage! thanks for the ask (definitely not a weird question, actually an amazing one :D) and I'm so glad you're interested in korean mythology! how is learning celtic mythology going?

Some books that have been recommended to me + the one I'm currently reading are: Eerie Tales from Old Korea and Korean Myths and Folk Legends (this was the one recommended).

This website is also a great place to get started! I looked up some common myths or creatures on this site, and it gave me results of myths or tales related to it, etc. It also gives information on a vast amount of Korean culture and rituals and traditions.

Hope this helps! I'm a bit new to learning about Korean mythology, too, as it isn't taught much. But hope you enjoy :)
