Imho the "greatest" thing about the USA is how over our entire history African-Americans have achieved greater and greater measures of equality. (We've still got a long way to go and I actually think hope this is just one of those BAD steps backwards like all the bullshit in the 1920s. But still, compare how far we've made it together compared to say, Romani, Basques, Catalans and Bretons in Europe.)
the *second* greatest thing about us is that as an inherently hybrid nation, we're not anchored to any one set of traditions.
the *third* greatest thing about us is our national parks.
And I could go down the list, but you get the picture; I feel that *literally everything great or good* about the USA has been thoroughly crapped on by this Administration.
#drawing last night, I wanted to do something peaceful and spring like instead of the usual way my characters usually live in dangerous unpleasant worlds, I was thinking of this one Brom painting a bit. Tame nudity.
vivid dreams last night included a server closet with an outside door for ventilation which I closed when it started to snow; a 7-11 clerk with encyclopedic knowledge of vintage cars; being asked by a Japanese visitor why we still put Ben Franklin's picture on everything(?) and explaining it as similar to remembering Taira/Minamoto.
@obscurestar I had somehow not clued in Heavy Metal was an *Elmer Bernstein* score and now that I know this I can't not hear Magnificent Seven and Great Escape, etc
villagers went north to hire DEN, but he wasn't about to save them from banditos with his dork hanging out.
First #colored #drawing in a while.
Months ago I spotted someone (and darn it, better than me!) painted up just a [i]human[/i] out of fantasy people who'd caught lycanthropy. I thought "what do other fantasy ancestries/races look like when they're werewolves" was a ridiculously cool idea so I wanted to try doing it myself. There are better colorists, but I feel pretty good about how long I spent on this and just having colors in the first place, you know?
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
