Past in the Future Evgeny Kazantsev

I watched this 4 minute video about how reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone park literally changed everything about the park and just sat there for another two minutes, mouth open and teary eyed and amazed. Definitely worth a watch. 

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - “Atarashii Sekai" music video directed by Kazuto Nakazawa and produced by Studio 4°C

At one point more scenes took place in an industrial area of San Fransokyo. Most of these concepts were cut but still helped influence final scenes.

but the past is another country, and all the bridges back have burned

"And that’s that."

the historical katsura kogoro (as well as yoshida shoin!) were from hagi, so i wanted to draw zura (ja nai) and gintoki back in what i like to think was their hometown.

Kaneda and Tetsuo shotgunning because I desperately needed it

Something like shouyou .

oikawa volunteering to teach at lil tykes every monday after school though

like when kags goes to lil tykes for advice, you see children saying [oikawa’s] class was fun and couldn’t wait to go home and practice 

oikawa makes volleyball fun for kids and is probably the kind of coach who crouches down to eye level with them when they get upset or frustrated and gives them words of encouragement and easy to follow advice 

what I would do anything for OVA on what everyone in seijou does on their day off, especially if we get to see oikawa be good with kids because that would be absolutely adorable

you go in

you go in

you go in

you go in

i trust girls with literally everything but if a boy asks me like what my favorite color is im like what the fuck are u trying to do…….

The 1,000th Wednesday Protest.  

There was a lot of ridiculous behavior displayed by the media at the 1,000th protest that got me super angry, but I’ll write about that in another post.

For now, I just want to write about how inspiring, passionate, and courageous these women are (my favorite Halmoni, Pak Ok-seon Halmoni can be seen in the top photo wearing a blue scarf).  

They are in their 80’s and 90’s and they have been demonstrating in front of the Japanese Embassy every fucking week for 20 years.  In the rain, in the snow, in the heat, in the wind, without fail.  They’ve faced social stigma, being called whores and prostitutes, they’ve been asked by their families to not go public but they go out there EVERY FUCKING WEEK.

FOR TWENTY YEARS.

And they do it because they want the world to know what happened to them, what’s still happening in wars all across the globe, what’s happening across national borders, what’s happening in school campuses, churches, and pretty much every corner of this goddamn planet.  

And that is sexual violence against women.  

And when you ask them why they’re out there every week, they’ll tell you that yes, they want their apology from the Japanese government - they want someone to look them in the face and say yes, it happened and I. am. sorry.  But they’ll also tell you that they’re out there because they don’t want what happened to them to happen to a single other woman, ever again.

And that, is fucking powerful people.
