LOL "Harpy Marriage"

I went crazy with the shiny. I'm sorry.

Most of the Japanese yokai monsters are only shown to be one gender (Unlike the Nordic monsters who more often than not has big families) but for some reason especially the tengu's private life has been the source of great speculation. None of the old stories explains where tengus come from, they are always male and there are no stories of them having intercourse with human women, so it has been speculated that the tengu women look so different that they are considered a different race, or possibly that they live far away from the men.
I joined the two theories with the harpies. They are only female but are said to get pregnant "from the wind", and tengus are said to be the masters of wind.

Case solved!

I would love to see more of this couple XD. I dunno why, maybe just to see what got them to marry in the first place.

I guess that could be the case. Female sphinx live in Greece and males in Egypt.

I'm Christian, but I hate when I hear others saying that being Gay means you are burning in hell. I have friends who are awesome and nice, and do great things and they're gay. So what?

So I completely understand. As long as you live a good life, and do the right things I don't think there is any reason for you to burn. If you like women, then good for you. If you like men, good for you. If you like both, well then great for you.

So get off my lawn you stupid other exaggerating Christians! *shakes cane*

OMG i should hug u for that-i wish i could fave beautiful comments like this -i mean this just proves a point to world-hugs?

This is just like my Christian friends: they don't care if you use your woman only for breeding purposes while living with another person, regardless of their gender, as long as you're not gay. I should really drop those people.

And, BTW, I'm not saying that all Christians are like that, that's just the people I know. I'm just clearing that up in case of future misunderstandings.

Nice, I like this explanation of things. :3 Though my friend has male harpyish like characters.

I feel like these two would have an interesting relationship, the kind where when they spend time together, you can kind of see something budding,like, you can see that they do make attempts at getting to know each other, and show a bit of interest...but are kin of trapped by the fact that they find each other hard to look at because of the strangeness of each other's features. That and I'd expect they make it a point to only mate in the dark.
