Just Let Uncle Iroh Be President

*makes art for a show no one cares about

Since I’m trying to be more active on Tumblr, I wanted to reintroduce my webcomic Countdown to Countdown to the peeps on this site!

Iris Black, a young man that possesses the special ability to bring drawings to life, is sheltered in a correctional facility that houses other “gifted” people like him. Outcasted for his inability to suppress his powers, he yearns to find himself a space where he can use his powers freely. His chance comes one night when a handsome intruder sneaks in to the lab.

If you’re interested in rivals forced to work together to overthrow capitalism, supernatural teens, and messy families, read his story!

The Angsty Prince

Fushiguro and Ryomen Sukuna

Diving into the mythology surrounding Fushiguro’s shikigami Makora. Disclaimer first: I am no expert, just a humble myth buff.

This is the hand seal (mudra) Fushiguro make to call forward his domain expansion. This mudra is associated with deity Bhaisajyaguru (薬師如来). Bhaisajyaguru is Buddha of healing from Mahayana Buddhism and known also as Yakushi Nyorai in Japan. Yakushi Nyorai has been known to release disease and pain from sick people. The believe of Yakushi Nyorai is the first to develop in Japan after the introduction of Buddhism to Japan.

Yakushi Nyorai is also the Buddha at the center of the Twelve Heavenly Generals (十二神将 read as Juuni shinshou) legends. Originally, the Twelve Heavenly Generals are yaksha or devils who were converted to Buddhism because of Yakushi Nyorai’s teaching. They are then tasked to protect Bhaisajyaguru and his followers.

So it is not actually surprising that one of Fushiguro’s shikigami is based on one of the Heavenly Generals.

Palestine's UN ambassador holds back tears during appeal to world court – video

Palestine's UN ambassador appealed to the court to lift Israel's occupation

"what does international law mean for Palestinian children in Gaza today? It has protected neither them nor their parents. It has not protected their families or communities, it has not protected their lives or limbs, it has not protected their hopes or homes. We are a proud and resilient people that has endured more than its share of agony.

It is so painful to be Palestinian today. "

Today at the international court of justice hearing on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian ambassador to the UN, held back tears as he appealed to the judges to uphold international law in the Palestinian territories and help secure a two-state solution 'in which the two-states live side by side in peace and security'.

Hey, guys! So, I’ve been thinking about organizing a SatoSugu week around Valentines Day - if there’s enough interest for such an event, that is. It would be great if you could fill out the interest check above, it shouldn’t take long!

The interest check will run until Dec 30th.

Future updates and news will be posted on @satosugu-week (which is still a new blog so it might take time for it to appear in the search function/ for posts to appear in the tags).

Also, since I’m not that active on twitter myself, I would appreciate a shout-out over there too! (twitter: @SatosuguW, just posted the interest check there as well!) 

massacre

the Syrian dictator Assad, along with Putin, are about to completely massacre an entire city - Aleppo. the Syrian army has taken over 98% of the city. families are sitting together, praying, knowing any minute will be their last minute on earth. civilians are tweeting their last goodbyes, sending out last minute pleas for someone, anyone, to help.

imagine that. sitting with the people you love, holding each other, hearing nothing but their harsh breathing and the clash of bombs completely destroying your home, killing your neighbors, your friends, you. just imagine that. i cant, i really cannot.

the U.N. has already called Syria the worst humanitarian crisis in this century. experts are saying this massacre rivals that of WW2 (not to take away from the holocaust) in terms of how heinous and completely disgusting it is.

i’m not the best with words, with conveying me emotions. but please take a moment out of your time to acknowledge this, at least. this is the worst humanitarian crisis happening on Earth right now, according to the U.N. this is a breach of human rights, of all our rights. you should be concerned, in the least.
