Always Important To Keep In Mind, Especially With The Way Things Are Now.

Always important to keep in mind, especially with the way things are now.

Image of a distressed-looking person with curly hair in the front window of a trolley, framed by red text that reads "we all know about the trolley problem." The words "trolley problem" appear to be dripping with blood.

Red text that reads "An impossible scenario of life and death: who do you kill? One innocent orphan boy, or a group of wanted criminals?" accompanied by a drawing of split tracks with an orphan boy on the left and a row of criminals on the right. They are all tied with ropes.

Red text that reads "Your elderly grandma? Or a child you don't know?" On the left is a drawing of a curly-haired smiling old woman, and on the right is a black-haired grinning child. Both have a red, dripping hole in the center of their chests.

Red text that reads "we see it when we vote," then a drawing of a bloody hand with a pen above a ballot. The options are "Dr. Evil" and "Cruella D." The red text continues, "when we buy," with a drawing of another bloody hand holding red-stained cash.

A drawing of a woman lying in bed looking up at her hands as they drip with blood, framed by red text that reads "we dream of it in visions of the apocalypse."

A drawing of a person clutching their own hands, once again covered in blood. A red, dripping "X" is on their chest, and their face is splattered with red as well. They look deeply haunted, and they are surrounded by black scribbly shading. "But at some point," the red text reads, "when we are tired of choosing who deserves to be spared, it becomes relevant to ask..."

A red background behind drawings of faceless people in black suits and white ties, only differentiated by head and facial hair. In the foreground is a fist at someone's side, dripping with blood onto doubly carved-in red text that reads, "who is tying people to the tracks?"

the trolley problem vs. systemic oppression: a comic.

Leave my preteen living museum alone, he just lost everything he knew and u want him to lose the ONE thing he has left (his morals, values, and his culture). LET’S UNNORMALIZE KILLING.

Btw death is kinder than a big bad emperor getting his ass kicked by a 12 year old monk and HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS.

some of your goofy asses for the past 20 years

Cultural Anatomy: Kyoshi Warrior Weapons

Tessen

The Kyoshi Warriors’ trademark war fans are formally known as tessen (鉄扇), which translates literally to “iron fans”. They were most famously used by samurai to fend off swords, throwing knives, and poisoned darts. Like a sword, the tessen could be dual-wielded to parry with one hand and attack with the other. I think in a 1-on-1 fight, Mai would probably have a lot of trouble fighting Suki.

Katana

Does the katana even need an introduction on the internet? Oh well, here’s the Wikipedia description: “A katana (刀) is a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands.” Katana are pretty iconic to Japan, particularly samurai, so it’s not surprising that all of the Kyoshi Warriors wield them.

This is both beautiful and haunting

Roses without thorns Wings without horns Skin stained in color Still, I grow duller

I've painted a lot of glass wings, and now I want to explore all the possibilities with stained glass wings. What's your favorite type of stained glass? I love nature so anything botanical or starry would be my fav.

The 3 hours long process videos will be DMed on my Patreon on August 5th
