The ONLY WAY To Combat The Lack Of Funding In Arts Education Is For Professionals To Take A Few Hours

The ONLY WAY to combat the lack of funding in arts education is for professionals to take a few hours a week to share their skills for FREE, to empower and encourage the next generation of artists. THIS IS WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR. Here’s 200 tutorials:

The Royal Signs III:

Aries: An exile. As close to a leader as anything. Decades of experiments. Inhuman flesh. A blank porcelain mask, inscribed with a single symbol. The only thing left untouched is her hair.

Taurus: The Knights Captain, daughter of the high priestess. A martyr. A township saved, burning like a star in the dry autumn heat. Blazing wings. 

Gemini: The King Under The Ice. A stolen childhood. Small shoulders for an impossible burden. A desperate bargain to contain an ancient evil. 

Cancer: The first queen. A woman more scars than flesh. Respect commanded by tooth and claw. Legend says even the beasts bowed their heads when she spoke.

Leo: The High Priestess, come to make good on an old covenant. Thunder on the mount. Eyes burned by sights from the land of the dead. A flash of thunder revealing the legions of ancestral dead, come to heed her call to arms.

Virgo: A young princess, currently being carried to safety in a backpack. She wraps her tiny hands around the shoulders of her bodyguard and tries to sleep.

Libra: A empress by title, an alchemist by desire. Long trips to the countryside spent foraging in swamps and mountain caves. Jars of exotic insects displayed proudly to less than excited diplomats.

Scorpio: A general. Born with an ancient and rare gift. A man who could speak to beasts. Said to be the first to harness the great wild things and drive them for war. Legends of an army of half-men, half-beasts.

Ophiuchus: A prince fallen prey to an old and terrible sickness. An inexplicable whistling cry that only he can hear, calling him to the mountains. There he sits, preserved in the abandoned aeries, decked in scales.

Sagittarius: The renegade prince. Palace finery and lavish parties forsaken for nights of adventure and intrigue in the city streets. Scandalous tales of cross-dressing and romance and baffled police.

Capricorn: A king of blood and stone. A menace to some, a savior to others. To carve out a space for his people against impossible odds and overwhelming enemies. Rites finally conducted in service of a god that was long thought to have abandoned their worshipers.

Aquarius: A queen burdened by loss. A pilgrimage to the ancestral mesa. She sits under the night sky. A low, droning tune on a horn carved from an old tree. The stars mourn with her.

Pisces: A queen of many eyes. Networks of spies that span the kingdom. A diplomatic party approaches, an assassin among them, unaware of her own assassin that already sits perched in the rafters above them. 

😅 Yes to NOT showering for a week and stayed in my room...unfortunately.

So i’ve found this treasure on pinterest today

After the honors are given to blushing lords, MC and the player whispered amongst each other...

MC: I do not mind if my Lord blush or not, what is important he knows just how much I love him and he, too, values me also?

Player: *looks at MC* But what if he lies and is only using you? What if he speaks trash and insults you? What if he gets bored, get drunk and sleeps with other women? What if he got god complex and sees women as mere decoration and forces himself on you? In the end...most of them are BOORS!

MC: *silenct pause and smiled suggestively* I see...you only said that because you like me, don't you?

Player: I care about yo--- (*sees MC blushing in their direction*) wait! No! Its not what you think!

MC: Oh..*gives player a sultry smile* but you are blushing, now.

Player: THAT IS NOT TRUE! (oh no!) I am only concerned that my handsome hubbies might hurt you!

MC: *eyes wide and shocked face* ...

Player: (My God what did I just say??) Well...sh*t!

Hahaha somehow this thought bugged my mind and can't help sharing this...

Who blushes the most in SLBP?

The latest Lord of the Draw brings up an interesting question: which lords (and ninjas) are most prone to blushing in SLBP, and which the least? It’s definitely a matter worthy of analysis!

1. Yukimura Does anyone in SLBP blush more than Yukimura? Fandom’s sweetheart is unused to the ways of love and women and his face (and Saizo’s running commentary) makes sure everyone knows it.

2. Inuchiyo A close contender, Inuchiyo blushes every time he has a dirty thought about MC, acts on a dirty thought about MC, or feels guilty for acting on a dirty thought about MC. So, you know, constantly.

3. Mitsunari The first of the tsunderes! Mitsunari is usually quite matter of fact, but when love is involved his face lights up like a tomato (…if tomatoes lit up).

4. Masamune Our shy boy doesn’t blush so much at romantic love as the thought of anyone loving him at all. Compliments are the quickest way to an embarrassed but pleased red face.

5. Kyoichiro He wouldn’t be blushing at all if you hadn’t gone and done something so stupid, baka!

6. Ieyasu I’m sure Ieyasu would be outraged to be so high on this list, but otome tsunderes need some way to convey their true feelings. If he’s gonna lie with that mouth his cheeks will have to do the truth-telling for him.

7. Hotaru Like Yukimura, Hotaru has very little experience with love or women, but unlike Yukimura, Hotaru doesn’t know enough about societal norms to be embarrassed (most of the time). Most of his blushes are guilt-induced rather than MC-induced.

8. Sakuya Sakuya’s a reasonably good actor and can keep his face impressively stony under most circumstances, but just let MC bare a little bit of flesh when he’s not expecting it and there he goes.

9. Genya He’s an easy-going guy with a lot of life experience. He’s not gonna blush at the little things (though he’ll tease you for doing so), but he’s just as susceptible as his twin to MC’s charms and not nearly as dedicated to hiding it.

10. Shigezane All of Omori loves his smile, but his blushing face is quite nice too. Like Genya, he’s both experienced with the world and open with his emotions.

11. Kojuro He strives to always look neutral, but he’s still a red-blooded man and just can’t help it sometimes.

12. Mitsuhide Ditto. Out of bias I have concluded he’d be ever so slightly better at hiding his blushes than Kojuro, plus he’s got that reputation as a “perfect” samurai to uphold.

13. Saizo Wishes he was lower on the list, but can’t help it when MC wears that ribbon dress.

14. Sasuke It takes a lot to make Sasuke blush after everything he’s done in life (and the bedroom).

15. Nobunaga What do you have to blush about when you’re the best in the world, the grand unifier, and deserving of everything?

16. Hideyoshi He’s had a thousand lovers and is amazing on the battlefield. What’s to blush about?

17. Shingen See: Hideyoshi (but older).

18. Kenshin Completely lacking in shame. Probably the only person who can make Shingen blush.

19. Hanzo If he blushes, I assume it’s through careful ninja makeup trickery and is somehow part of a plot of tease either Ieyasu or MC.

Beat Takeshi stars as Hideyoshi in “Kubi” 首, a movie where he’s also involved in the scriptwriting, and also is the director! 

To think that this showed up not long after I shared that old Toyota advertisement! However, unlike the more positive Hideyoshi image in the Toyota ad, the PR of this movie says that the plot follows the “Hideyoshi is the mastermind behind Honnouji” conspiracy. So we can expect a scheming, or even a somewhat sinister Hideyoshi in this production. 

加瀬亮 Kase Ryou will play as Nobunaga, 西島秀俊 Nishijima Hidetoshi as Mitsuhide, and 浅野忠信 Asano Tadanobu in double role as both Kuroda Kanbei and Hideyoshi’s brother Hidenaga. 

It’s always a little strange to me, to see a ridiculously old Hideyoshi when the actor cast as Nobunaga is much younger, but it’s a thing that’s very commonly done in Japanese live action productions and illustrated artwork.

Could you explain he difference between self defense and a fight. Because I hear people mix these terms up all the time.

In a fight, both fighters are aware that they are, in fact, in a fight, and the goal is to win by either making the opponent give up, knocking them out, or, if fighting in a ring or cage, by decision from judges. Fighting is usually done under a set of rules, too, whether that’s from an organization you’re fighting under, or a set of rules agreed to by the two fighters. Fighting in this sense is also done using mostly punching and kicking, joint locks and throws in a straight forward manner, as in, both are playing a game, strategizing, looking for openings to strike. In fighting, if it’s point sparring, speed is more important than technique and/or power. In fighting in a cage or a ring, a combination of all three things is needed. This is what you’d call a balanced fighter.

In self defense, the martial artist is not expecting to fight, but rather to avoid fighting altogether. This means awareness of self and surroundings is the main point in self defense. If anything suspicious is noticed, the martial artist moves away from it to avoid getting caught in a situation. If needed, the martial artist may call the proper authorities to come and help. In case of an emergency, say a fire, the martial artist has the training to remain calm and may be able to lead others to safety. If faced with a fight, it will usually happen by surprise. And the goal becomes either:

- If you’re alone - To defeat your opponent as fast as possible, or to escape unhurt. If you have to fight, it should be because it simply cannot be avoided, and in defeating your opponent, the martial artist has four levels of technique:

1. Infliction of pain (e.g. A joint lock)

2. Temporary incapacitation  (e.g. A strike to the groin)

3. Permanent incapacitation (e.g. Breaking a knee)

4. Kill

Part of the goal when fighting in self defense is to use the lowest level of technique possible, and only increase if the opponent is persistent with his attack, or if the opponent presents a serious threat.

- If you’re with friends or loved ones - To protect them by positioning yourself between them and the assailant if possible. If not, to attract the attention of the assailant towards you. This can be done by, first and foremost, remaining calm, and talking to the assailant yourself, keeping him on you as much as possible. If you can fight, and you decide to do it, you have to make sure you can take down the opponent in seconds (keeping to whichever level of technique is appropriate), as you must keep your loved ones safe and as out of the way as possible. However, if you’re not 100% sure you can take down your assailant without getting your friends, loved ones, or yourself hurt, then it’s better to cooperate (e.g. if all they want is your money, and you see no chance of getting out the situation for fear of the safety of your loved ones, then just give your money away and hope the assailant leaves. Situation like this, chances are, they aren’t looking to hurt anyone and just want the money or your valuables.)

Your life and that of your loved ones is more important than any material possession.

In self defense, technique execution, coordination and a fair level of power are more important, and though speed balances everything out, reaction time and the ability to “read your attackers move” or “see ahead” is more important than speed.

In a fight, you have an OPPONENT. (someone who competes against or fights another in a contest, game, or argument; a rival or adversary, a contender, a challenger, a fellow contestant.)

In self defense, you have an ASSAILANT. (a person who physically attacks another; an attacker, a mugger, an assaulter.)

In each situation, you must act accordingly.
