[psychologeek]

I have these thoughts, about how fucked up it is that people use "genocide" and "holocaust" BECAUSE it's jews and a Jewish state they talk about.

How, even if it was genocide-

(it's not)

- out of 15 shades of genocide in the last century, you make sure to compare to something that happened to us.

That is still happening, because this is what being Jewish is-

"that in every generation", we say every year, "they are standing for us to parish us."

"שבכל דור ודור עומדים עלינו לכלותנו".

And the "them" isn't spesified (it's not like it's one. And they keep changing. Whoever has the power to.)

And it is present, continues, because it is ALWAYS and it's a warning and a promise and a reminder. It's happening. Now, tomorrow - it's coming.

Always.

I think about over two thousands bloody years.

I think about the way the holocaust shaped us -

The way The Destruction shaped us -

Two thousand years of blood and exiles and -

From the burning of The House to the burning homes in the ghettos.

I think about the way HaKhurban, The Destruction, is one word. A Name.

(there's one, big event)

I think the way HaShoa, the Disaster, is one word. A name.

I think about the destruction of the foundation, of Dat and Bnei Israel and the way it had to be shifted, as a way of life that is so inherently related to land, that it took about hundreds of years to make the transition from a Home, Beit HaMikdash, meaning "house of the hollying" to smaller houses of worship, Batey Knesset, meaning "houses of gathering".

I think about turning from a nation to smaller communities, Kehilot.

I think about destruction and ashes and death.

I think about shattered glass and people burning with holly places, and I don't know if it's 80 or 2000 years ago.

I think about destruction

I think about glass, melting in the heat. Turning to new shapes.

I think about waves, going back and forth.

I think about the doors of Nikanor, and a hidden basket on the Nile, and overcrowded ships.

I think about communities burning, living behind one from town, two from family. An ember saved from the Pyre.

I think about the destruction of communities.

I think about the re-forging of a nation.

(it isn't pretty. It isn't gentle. It is broken and painful and destructive and heat)

I think about Rabi Akiva looking at the destroyed Kodesh HaKodashim, the Holliest chamber in the Holliest place, where even the Kohen Gadol can only enter once a year.

I think about foxes running around, in the violated, broken sanctuary.

(I think about bones, dry and old, rising from their graves and forming a structure. I think about the pain of recreating neurons and muscles and skin)

I think about Rabi Akiva, and remember -

(He laughed)

I apologize at how long it took for this update to come out.

Things happened and I’ll leave it at that.

I also posted everything (except one comic) to TikTok! So there’s that too!

I will try to aim for my original schedule of an update every couple of days. If I don’t keep my word, I have failed.

I am also not apologizing for killing Cooper off. He was fated to perish the day he tossed the penguin 🤭.

Mushroom Kingdom pop quiz - Wrong Answers only!

Back when I was at school, certain multiple choice questions got a kick out of me. Thus, the idea is to basically take the concept of finding humour in the wrong choices and making it into something amusing.

Initially, I only did the third one, the Wario, Mario, and Waluigi one, but when I noticed that the source has four more questions, and each of them has potential for a funny outcome, I decided to expand the idea into something more.

I hope this makes your day! It was a lot of effort to make it look as authentic as possible.

Thank you for reading.

Guess what I saw during the weekend and had to draw as soon as I got home? It's a fun movie and do recommend! Would watch again! 

Also, I've been a Bowuigi fan for years, but never got the motivation to draw them...UNTIL NOW.

With the release of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon HD, I decided to post some screen shots of Luigi from the Super Mario Bros Movie.

He's just such a lovable dork, and Charlie Day was a perfect casting choice for him.

This poster concept took way more time than i originally planned, but it was 100% worth it.

I cheated a little bit on some elements of it (mainly bowser and the dry bones) but I’m really happy with the final result!

I’ve always been a fan of Luigi’s mansion, and I’ve already done a couple other drawings of my concept of Luigi’s mansion being crossed over with the ghostbusters.

I like the thought of daisy being involved, because if anyone would be absolutely down to help Luigi put the beating on some ghastly ghouls, it would absolutely be her.

I realized though, that the poster size i wanted was outside the dimensions of this picture, so i had to resize some stuff lol, but otherwise, I’m content. This is the original, not-resized version!

And thus their names are revealed! And now you know which one was female all along! RIP Felicity though. She won’t be missed (unless she was your favourite, then sorry for giving her a comical death.)

I apologize that this one took so long. A lot has happened in the last three weeks for me. It kinda slowed me down by a lot, but FRET NOT! There is so much to look forward to!
