whenever i think to myself, just how tired i am and how sad i am that i don't have time or energy to draw, i know that that's the most important moment for me to scribble down some little thing on the page. it might not be the thing I've been thinking of drawing. but that's ok. maybe next time it will be.

It's that time of year when Tumblr celebrates Easter by posting pictures of crucified anime characters, and inevitably somebody in the notes will pop up to helpfully explain that crucifixion imagery has no cultural significance in Japanese media because Japan is only about 1% Christian, which bugs me because it's completely wrong.

It's true that in the majority of cases, crucifixion in Japanese cartoons isn't meant to be conveying any specific theological message, but something Western audiences are likely to miss is that a large portion of those random crucifixion scenes are referencing Ultraman.

Ultraman's creator was a devout Roman Catholic who explicitly intended the titular hero to read as a Christ figure, and consequently, various Ultramen have been crucified on multiple unconnected occasions throughout the franchise's history. Crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons are often directly name-checking particular crucifixion incidents from Ultraman, right down to emulating the compositions and camera angles of specific shots. It's like an especially morbid version of the Akira slide.

The upshot is that while it's true that the inclusion of gratuitous crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons typically has no (intentional) theological message, stating that they have no cultural significance is incorrect. A large chunk of the Japanese viewing audience are going to see them and immediately go "hey, that's an Ultraman reference".

Anyway, as an image tax, have a shot of four crucified Ultramen miraculously resurrecting a fifth Ultraman by shooting laser beams out of their hearts:

You know, I think it's kind of natural for Americans to assume anyone they meet on the internet who speaks flawless English is American because everyone we meet in real life who speaks flawless English is...also an American. (As far as immigrants and tourists go, the majority opinion - especially if you're white - is that if you live here, congratulations, you're an American now. Sometimes somebody on Reddit in a positivity subreddit will post a photo of themselves or their dad holding the little flag you get when you get sworn in to full citizenship - I can't count how many times I've seen that scenario - and the entire thread will be telling them they've been American since they got here.)

(We often assume they're here to stay if we meet a foreigner on American soil because most of us aren't going to meet tourists in real life except for very rarely, because very few Bosnians or whoever would be excited to visit a grocery store in suburban New Hampshire.)

Now, I am assuming native speakers of English who come from - let's say Bosnia again, or Australia - are going to have way more mental wiggle room for this, because nearly everyone *they* meet in real life who speaks to them in English is not going to be American, unless there's a specific situation like they live someplace Americans in particular like to go, like near a cruise stop in the Caribbean, in a place where the locals don't talk in English unless speaking to tourists. (If you live near a cruise stop in the Caribbean, I am sorry.)

Then I realized I could put this to the test. Americans, don't lie, the poll is anonymous.

#for me it's like i mentally add a qualifier like british or australian or wherever when i learn someone isn't american #it's not a huge adjustment or like i'm Shocked someone isn't american but i think it still counts as 'assume is american'

Dirk's No Good Very Bad Day (1/2)

Dirk's overconfident and stubborn nature often sends him crashing right into trouble. 🌵He's lucky Dael and Rembrandt look out for him, even if he doesn't appreciate it at first...
