[sea-critter]

trying to hold it together but… just read about Nex Benedict (may their memory be a blessing) who was a Native non-binary teen murdered in their high school bathroom in Oklahoma.

thinking of Akira Ross, a Black queer woman murdered in Texas, less than an hour from me.

thinking of all the queer & trans young people in the south who die at the hands of bigots.

just feeling really fucking sad and sick to my stomach.

A Black lesbian named Akira Ross was recently shot dead at a gas station for declaring that she was gay. The man charged for murder, Bradley Stanford, reportedly started calling her slurs before ultimately shooting her. There has been very little coverage of this.

Someone who wishes to support her family has started a GoFundMe to help pay for funeral and memorial expenses. If you can, please consider donating.

Heeey, look it's an update on this previous drawing...only took me three months. (So I didn't make it for Pride Month like I wanted...)

Added some newer faces since I've made a bunch of new trainers with the recent games since the last time I did a huge drawing like this.

If I ever mention making another drawing with 23 characters in it, shoot me.

I will take questions on any of the characters here.

A TRIBUTE TO KUROSAWA'S GREATEST MASTERWORK -- FROM THE WORLD OF "EARTH X."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a double-page spread of the Seven Silver Samurai, loyal protectors/defenders of the Land of the Rising Sun, from "UNIVERSE X" Omnibus Vol. 1 #1. June, 2001. Marvel Comics.

"Lord Sunfire's father, the original Sunfire and sometime member of the X-MEN, was assassinated shortly after the death of the Avengers, but the newly-created pact between those who became keepers of the pieces of Creel lived on.

To guarantee that an assassination attempt like this would never happen again, Tony Stark created the Seven Silver Samurai to help the heir of the eastern Orient bring peace to his feuding lands.

Sunfire has since wondered if these seven heroes might not be prototypes of the Iron Avengers, who serve a similar purpose in America.

Lord Sunfire's robot bodyguards are now the extended will of their master, Sunfire."

Diana Ross - If We Hold On Together

[eyedrateanatomy]

im so right when i say the hatzgang shouldve been that type of bully gang where theyre always on their bikes. roberts is really busted cause its a hand-me-down and ross said it was unfixable (ross likes tinkering with rides), so roy just gave him his and said his parents would buy him a new one. theyve all tried to pull the akira move at least once. roy is so far the only one who can do it successfully because he has a job as a newspaper boy so hes on his bike 24/7

roy likes speeding and throwing newspapers at people + his parents hate that he chose to work a job at all, much less a peasant one. he throws the newspaper at ignacio hard af in the hopes of crippling that old man. once ignacio decided to run after him and roys legs were burning from pedaling because he did Not know ignacio could be that fast omfg

Updates for third period

Akira Schmid will replace Nico Daws to start the third period.

Palat-Hischier-Bratt to start the third period.

Third period

Nico Hischier has been deployed for almost - what it seems like - every faceoff tonight.

He's taken 23. Next most is Haula at 14.

Luke Hughes just cut across Dostal's crease trying to take the puck to the net. He runs over Dostal and a scrum ensues in the corner with Timo Meier also in the middle of it.

Luke was actualy slashed as he was going to the net, which started the collision course with Dostal.

Ross Johnston has some angry words for Luke

#NJDevils  look to be going back to the PP.

Colin Miller on power play duties for #NJDevils , he replaces Nemec

Going back to the PP.

#NJDevils  need two.

Toffoli! #NJDevils  within one with 2:57 to play!

Timeout devils

They're not without their chances here... #NJDevils  pressing in the final minute for the equalizer

#NJDevils  getting a penalty shot because Vatrano just pushed the net off on purpose.

Jack Hughes is going to take the penalty shot.

There's 2.1 seconds left (penalty shot aside).

#NJDevils  down a goal

Devils lost…..
