As promised, gushing about ↺ Ratso and his ties

I haven't had a chance to really implement this in the writing yet, but Ratso wears a different tie every day, he has tons of them and they're mostly gifts from his mother or sisters. Any time I draw a screencap with Ratso in it for ↺ he will have a probably different tie because of this.

His father, Loreno Marchetti walked out on their family when Ratso was young, leaving him to be "Man of the House" taking care of his mother, Cimone, and two little sisters, Lucia and Elena. The family struggled for a long time, and some of it because of Ratso's issues with "some sort of mental problem", probably ADHD or Autism, but he isn't sure, he never got an official diagnosis. He managed to get by telling his mother and sisters to just get him ties for gift giving occasions.

Ratso was high functioning enough that he managed to hold a couple of odd jobs and get a scholarship to go to college. He stumbled into a life of crime mostly by people taking advantage of his willingness to do any job for an extra paycheck to send back to his mom and sisters, until he became the top weapons dealer in San Francisco "Mostly by accident". He doesn't want his family to find out where the money he sends them comes from, and continues to ask them to buy him silly and novelty ties so he can pretend nothing's changed, but it's also become a bit of an obsession of his, he'll collect them on his own and ask friends for them too.

In fact, my original intention in creating these short comics was to promote Xiaolin Showdown in China. However, I will still publish them here, treating it as a way to thoughtfully manage my blog and let more people appreciate my work.(-_-)ゞ

Beloved fandoms never die. Thinking once more about my dumb bbs and their adventures post-show. I know the likelihood of actually *writing* my season 6 fanfic is abysmally low, but a girl can dream (and draw).

Everyone wore the same clothes for 5 seasons so I decided it was time for a redesign; their new kind-of-good-guys-kind-of-not civvies. This is some certified 2005 (and 1975) fashion right here.

The Jewish Council of Australia:

⭕ "Israel’s soldiers have been documented emblazoning the Star of David on Palestinian prisoners, graffitiing it on the walls of houses they loot in Gaza, and using tanks to sear it into the rubble of what used to be recreation parks for families."

⭕ "These actions place all Jewish people at risk by tarnishing us with these egregious human rights abuses."
