Yaaay gold fishiee! â¨â¨đ¤Šđ đĄđ
I got some new watercolor paper that I needed for some college homework, so I experimented a little bit with it, since I wasnât sure how well itâd behave.
I normally work with 100% cotton, and this one was 50% so I was kinda doubtful itâd behave, but it actually did quite decently. It just bends a little even with the tape on, canât handle as much water (aka backgrounds that cover it almost completely).

Atrocities
In a world full of humans that consider themselves the superior beings, there is no question about who the beasts are. It is not animals that torture each other because they want to. The lion is not cruel for hunting a zebra to feed.
There is nothing on Earth capable of cruelty. Except humans.

I think thereâs no one unaware of what is happening in Gaza right now, in Palestine. What started in 1948.
Iâve been aware of the war going on in Palestine for years.
I find it baffling how so many are finding out about this only now, when the corpses of the dead are sky high, when so many are lost and can never go home now.
How dare the world make promises like ânever againâ? How dare the world make promises and once again stand still, as genocides take place? How dare you stand there and look away? How dare you stay quiet?
How can you stay quiet?
I find it horrifying and heartbreaking. I find it even more atrocious that the people doing this should be people who understand what genocide is like.
How can they go ahead and do what was done to them, to others? What about âtreat others like you want to be treatedâ? Has that phrase never mattered at all?
I do not understand.
I do not understand.
I cannot understand.
I cannot condone.
Why? How? How can your heart and your mind and your conciousness condone this? How can people who suffered through genocide do this others? How can you possibly try to justify this?
Nothing justifies the killing of innocents. Nothing. Nothing justifies this violence and crimes against humanity. Nothing ever has, nothing ever will. Nothing justifies the atrocities of WW2, nothing justifies this either. I cried when as a child I learned about the Holocaust. I cry now with the people of Palestine, for them.
How can we let history repeat itself? Is the human species really that utterly hopeless? Do we not learn from the past?
Are we, quite literally, the only species on Earth that does not learn from its mistakes?
If a young bunny steps into a trap, itâll come to know pain but survive. The next time it comes into contact with a hunter trap, it will jump aside.
Animals learn. Nature learns.
Why canât humans? We are the one species that doesnât follow the natural balance of the world. Do we even belong here? What kind of monsters are we, to repeat the same mistakes over and over and over and over?
Do not stay quiet. Use your voice, speak out for those that canât.
Above all, remember empathy, remember compassion, remember love.
Drop aside hate and bias, prejudice and stereotypes, racism and xenophobia, revenge and resentment.
Nothing justifies this. Nothing. Look upon whatâs happening with your own eyes and ask yourself:
Why can I live but they canât?
Weâre all human. Arenât we?
Thereâs not a day that I donât think about the genocide happening in Palestine. I mourn and grieve for the dead, with all those suffering.

I just updated my fantasy novel! (Still working on editing the 1 part cuz Iâm not very convinced. Will probably edit this newest one more too)
Same and more. Overall writing was so dull. It lacked the complexity and depth of the original.
My views on the atla live action (6.8 out of 10)
What I liked about atla live action:
Zuko, aang, iroh, monk Gyasto and jets actors really knocked the ball out the park so far
I liked how they showed that there were people in the fire nation who fought back regarding resisting the war, and how azula went undercover to expose them. That scene showed not all fire benders were bad or agreed to the war due to the loss of lives
I liked how they portrayed monk gyasto and his bond with aang.
The scene with the earth kingdom soldier, iroh and the scene with Lieu ten was amazingly done. It really captured how loss happened on both sides, while showcasing more of who lieu ten was as a person and also Zukoâs kind nature towards Iroh
Iroh joining Zuko on the boat after his banishment was a beautiful scene
Issues
Aang meeting kyoshi too early and learning about the attack on the northern water tribe which he shouldnât know
Suki and sokkas romance didnât develop over sokka learning from his sexism. It takes away from their development
Azula didnât bend or fight enough. Also Ozai hated Zuko and adored azula but here it seems azula is fighting for his approval? It takes away from her character. She had it ALL and Zuko didnât. Also ozai did not care if zuko discovered aang he just wanted him to suffer. He hated his son but in this version they make it seem like he cares?
Aang isnât training enough at all. We only see katara training on her waterbending but she trained with aang too. In the series it focuses more on aang going to the northern water tribe rather than learning the elements and helping others along the way.
Kataang needed more moments. So far they only had a few but I liked the one they shared in the final episode
Sokka seems to not like aang? It seems like heâs only there for his own benefit when in the original he warms up to aang.
Ozai learning of aangs existence too early on makes it less easy for aang to travel on his journey.
Aang and sokka didnât meet Jet
The meaning of the cave of two lovers didnât make sense. Also it didnât help aang as he was not there to learn more about the badger moles and earth bending. Plus he kissed katara there, so that love development is gone.
Wan shi tong shouldnât be there in book 1 and sokka and katara shouldnât be in the spirit world
Where is Appa and momo? They barely are shown. If they were pets with zero presence I wouldnât mind but in this series they are apart if the show but the live action doesnât showcase them enough.
No Jeong Jeong ? he was a huge character regarding the use of fire plus aang had trauma fire bending. Will he still show up in the future if this is renewed?
Azula shouldnât lose her cool she seems like sheâs already cracking and thatâs not her character. She is perfect and that breaks her in book 3. Not book 1. Also her fire is not blue.
Aang is a bit too focused on being the avatar i wish it wasnât so strong at times
Why is the fog of lost souls showing up in atla?
Rokus erased as aangs guide isnât the best change since heâs tied to the reason why the war happened. Also he links to zukos bloodline and struggle of good and evil.
Literally. This plot driver is so f stupid it makes no sense. It is in itself a motherfucking plothole. Everytime it pops up somewhere I just laugh cuz itâs do fucking stupid.
I always laugh when vampires plan to block out the sun and make it eternal nighttime because... what are you going to eat? Humans, animals, and plants require sunlight to survive. Soon enough, everything will die, and what will be left?
Nothing but vampires and their shitty plans.
Homework
This some homework for my cartoon class. I kinda really love how it came out. Before this class I had never dabbled in cartoon drawing, just wasnât used to it. My style is usually more realistic.
It turned out so well that I kinda wanna color it.

Holy f shit I watched A Whisker Away. The storytelling was⌠lacking, for a better word. Literally. It was so⌠lacking.
Like, it was trying to do a lot but couldnât handle it. The whole narrative felt kind of fumbling, like an outlined script that didnât quite get cleaned up.
Not only that, but the protagonist isâŚ. Troublesome doesnât cover it. Sheâs a red flag. She stalks Hinode, enjoys being touched by him even though there is no consent there and does the same to him, doesnât really consider his feelings when acting, etc etc.
Some scenes really really IrKEd me, or rather, disturbed me. Thereâs a particular scene where Hinode touches between her legs (as a cat). And the expression they give her is just ⌠I have no words. The protagonist is a literal child!! A CHILD! Wtf script writers????!!!
They end up painting her as this really stalkerish, kind of nuts female high schooler obsessed with a boy she only knows because she stalks him.
âŚ.
Not only her as a character, but the whole storyâs writing and pacing was waaaaaaY off. What were they trying to do? Say âoh even if you have it bad, you gotta appreciate the human experienceâ????? I donât even know where to begin with thatâŚ.
They say that her mother abandoned her, but no actually no, because later they show she didnât. Sort of??? It seems like they werenmt even sure what to do with the other characters to make her struggles seem genuine. She has a stepmother who she has lived with for years and has always tried to care for her and communicate with her, but Muge hates her for no reason apparently????? She also hates her father even though he is barely in the f movie and is barely mentioned??? What even are her struggles that she wants to be a cat so badly???
None. None really, because the writing did a terrible job of actually trying to portray them. She ends up coming across not as a relatable young girl who has a deep crush and wants the boy to like her and has trouble at home but she tries to be happy anyways; she comes across as entitled, stalker, obsessed girl whoâs detached from reality and willing to do anything (even knowing the consequences) to get what she wants.
Wow. I could go waaay deeper into this. But in summary: this. Is. Not. A. Good. Movie.
Good animation doesnât compensate for bad writing.
I find myself lost in my own writing. I feel the wind on my skin and see flying beasts with eyes wide open.
If there has ever been anything true, is that Iâve always been one to get lost in words, when I can see them before theyâre shaped.
I see it all so clearly. Itâs like looking at a screen or a mirror. I dive into the projection and feel the breath of the world.
Hi tumblr! I always forget to post on this blogâŚ
But hey! New video out this week! If you like art, games, anime, and manga, and all that stuff take a chance on my stuff!
Gansai painting and talking a bit about my experience in Miyajima. https://youtu.be/XWsQXtwN4Eo?si=egg2hjusohn0NNyW
Drowning
I kinda liked it more without the black in the clothes, but oh well, too late. I like them both. I really really liked just the simple sketch version too, but my original idea was to do the lineart so I ended up doing it anyway. I really like his face, he looks a lot like a Renaissance statue; very expressive on its own.
