[Part. 4/6] Onmyoji (阴阳师) mythical characters, drawn ukiyo-e style by 鬼笙 (find other parts here)

Shikigami are supernatural beings in Japanese folklore. Shown here are characters:

Kyonshii, called Jianshi in Chinese, are reanimated corpses mixing zombie/ vampire/ ghost features. Those pale blue creatures live by sucking qi from the living. They are usually depicted with a paper talisman (ofuda) hanging off their foreheads. Shown here are: Ani (elder brother), Imouto (little sister) and Otouto (little brother)

Shiro and Kuro Mujou (litterally “white ghost” and “dark ghost”) are heavily inspired by the chinese Heibai Wuchang, psychopomps deities in charge of escorting souls to the underworld. Tio my knowledge they don’t have equivalent in Japan

happy PRIDE i’m here i’m queer and i believe the land should be given back to the proper indigenous stewards.

[gaylienz]

Non-Natives reblogging this are great and wonderful

[lierdumoa]

Please remember that "land back" does not mean "indigenous people are mystical elves with innate epigenetic wisdom of land stewardship and they don't belong in big cities," nor does it mean "non-indigenous people can't be farmers." What it DOES mean is that "non-indigenous farmers should be paying the equivalent of property taxes to the native governments their land was stolen from." It means, "there's a great deal of indigenous scholarship on sustainable agricultural practices that farmers should be taking into account, because indigenous agriculture was more advanced than European agriculture at the time Europe invaded the Americas and western agriculture *still* hasn't caught up in terms of figuring out how to produce equivalently high crop yields without compromising the ecosystem." It means, "non-indigenous farmers should be in an intellectual discourse with indigenous agricultural scientists and indigenous peoples that still do traditional farming, figuring how to repair the damage western farming practices have done to the ecosystem."

[red-dead-revival]

It also means that indigenous peoples should regain the right to sustain themselves on the land according to the practices they want, and they should have free reign to perform their cultural practices and protect their holy sites, as opposed to the current model where if they try to honor their dead on public lands they get violently removed.

[bogleech]

People also get angry at this concept thinking it'd mean non-native people getting mass evicted from their homes but 1) your home is already owned by a bank or big business or government, the difference would mainly be who you're now paying rent to and 2) most of the land in America isn't residential anyway.

This topic isn't about your house that you're already struggling to pay for, it's about thousands of miles of the planet rotting away under the monopoly of big agriculture and oil, but hypothetically speaking I think a local tribe would treat you a shitload better than whatever inhuman real estate brand you're already at the mercy of.

i always forget my grandma used to be a clown so it caught me the fuck off guard when she saw this

and no hesitation saying “oh it’s that creepy clown- oh he’s drinking that’s against clown code”

[aggressiveflyingpizza]

1. ARE YOU NOT GOING TO EXPLAIN YOUR GRANDMA’S PAST CLOWN CAREER? 2. WHAT’S CLOWN CODE??????????????

[rose-the-emo-cryptid]

Clown code.

[rift-master]

I call a lot of y'all clowns but it turns out that’s too good for you since even they live by a code.

They broke out of the woods, kicked their horses to a gallop, and dashed away. But before they where out of sight, the first hunter looked back over his shoulder and called, just as though he could see the unicorn standing in shadow, "Stay where you are, poor beast. This is no world for you. Stay in your forest, and keep your trees green and your friends long-lived."
