“Divers Fighting against Fishes of Ryugu Palace”

By Utagawa Ikuhide

----------------------------------------------------------------

Description Down Below！（下に説明載せてます！）⇓

This Ukiyo-e is likely to be from 1877~1896.

The gate In the upper left corner seems like the gate to the dragon palace.

One day, three divers suddenly descended from the world above the ground to the water world. The Self-Defense Forces of Ryugu are fighting against humans with their swords and spears. The large octopus in the middle seems to command the Self-Defence Forcces.

In the bottom left, there is a blowfish soldier are being crushed by a human. To help the comrade, the other soldiers like squid and stingray are attacking back the human.

Looking at the picture, some might noticed why the Forces do not just cut off the air hose. Fishes are so used to breathe under water that they might not realize humans will be done by just chopping off the hose.

At first sight, what did you think they were doing? Let me know in the comment section!

『しん板さかな尽（しんぱんさかなづくし）』

作　歌川幾英

この #浮世絵 は明治十年代から二十年代（1877~1896）に描かれたようです。

左上の門は、#竜宮城 の門のように見受けられます。

ある日突然、三人の潜水夫が地上の世界から水中の世界へと降りてきた様子。 竜宮城の自衛隊は刀や槍を持って、人間と戦っていますね。 中央の大きな #タコ は自衛隊を指揮しているのでしょうか。

また左下では、フグの兵士が人間に踏みつぶされてしまっています。 仲間のフグを助けるため、イカやエイなどの他の兵士が反撃しているようです。

浮世絵を眺めていて、なぜ自衛隊は空気のホースを切ってしまわないのだろうかということに気付いたかもしれません。 魚たちは水中で息をすることに慣れているため、ホースを切ってしまうだけで人間は終わりだということに気付かないのかもしれないですね。

最初に見た時、魚と人間たちが何をしていると思いましたか？ コメント欄で教えてくださいね！

I read (what is available) of Paper Crane’s Origin comic and loved it, then I saw lots of palette swaps for him and couldn’t resist to do My Sans in it... Because I’m weak (forgive me (T⌓T))

Oldtale (Another Undertale AU)

Oldtale is a undertale AU that takes place in a medieval fantasy world (of my own making). While all characters are still present some things will be changed to fit the world they are placed in and for my personal preference (ex. gender roles, ships, etc) as the AU creator.

Plot Summary:

Oldtale takes place in a world where humans and monsters both live in unsettling harmonics after a long age war caused them to keep away from one another. When a young cleric named Frisk hears tales of a human that tread into the land of monsters only to vanish, she decides to investigate only to hear a faint voice that leads her straight to the center of the monsters kingdom. Monsters, as Frisk learns, can be kind and cruel all at once... Will she be able to handle this unfamiliar world in time to discover the truth of what happened to the forgotten human or will she fall.

Character Roles (so Far):

Frisk - Cleric - Magic Forms into a Red Heart, can be used in many ways for attack and defense, Frisk specializes in defense.

Sans - Mage (Goes by Wizard) - Magic seems to attach to his left eye and glow, can use in multiple ways (gravity control (on objects or people), teleportation, summon gaster blasters)

Papyrus - Esquire - Magic seems minimal, can affect others gravity to a limit but that’s it.

Toriel - Fallen Queen - Has the ability to use fire.

Asgore - Old King - Ability to use fire and inflict damage on opponents in the case of moving or not counting on what magic he inflicts.

Asriel - New King - Well handed with magic like his parents, f i r e. Has other abilities unknown (even to him).

Chara - ??? - Similar to frisk but more familiar with attack.

W.D. Gaster - Duke / Inventor - He has many abilities unknown to all and watchful eyes over the world around him.

Undyne - Marchioness (Knight) - Can use magical spears and force opponents in combat with magic.

Alphys - Assistant - Shows no ability of magic, uses other methods instead.

(I’ll be posting more detailed bios when I do references.)

For now this is all I will post, I will updated this and post more when I have time.

"The Picture of Urashima Taro Returning from the Dragon Palace"

By Yoshitoshi Tsukioka

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This picture shows one scene from the Japanese folktale called "Urashima Taro."

Taro is the guy on the turtle and looking at the Dragon Palace, which drawn on the upper right.

Taro has a little box on his back. It's a gift, called Tamatebako, from the palace

The story has been famous as it had been on the textbook for Japanese elementary schools around 1928.

It is said that the story is similar to other countries' folktales like Rip Van Winkle, Tír na nÓg, 爛柯, and 柳毅伝.

Also, the Dragon Palace is mentioned as something like Atlantis.

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ The Story Shortly Explained ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Once upon a time...

Urashima Taro, the fisherman, found a turtle being bullied by children.

Taro felt sorry for the turtle, so helped it out and let it go back to the sea.

After a few days, the turtle again appeared in front of Taro, and said, "I'd like to take you to the Dragon Palace to show my appreciation."

At the palace, Taro were welcomed by the beautiful Princess Oto and fishes, and then, Taro wonderfully spent a couple of days there.

When Taro was sadly about to leave the palace, the princess gave Taro a special box, and said, "you should never open this box."

Taro sorrowfully returned to his world with riding on the turtle, but strangely, he couldn't find his house or someone he knows.

There was no longer anywhere like the world as it was before.

Not remembering the word from the princess, Taro opened the special box.

Suddenly white smoke came out from the box, and it turned Taro into an old guy with full of grey hair and wrinkles.
