In Which the fields turn to Magenta

Good evening, my dear friend, jolly reader of this present post! Happy Wednesday! How are you? Hope you have been okay so far? I am okay... it has been quite an exhausting couple of days, as I have been following the situation in Iran more closely than I'd like, as it turns out. I am not sure how to proceed, even, the news are quite depressing. They talk of dozen thousands slaughtered, and the count grows by the minute. I thought the islamic regime would not take too long to fall, and though in retrospect that may be it, given there has been, in reality, less than a month since the height of the protests began, still, in two days or so, the devil Khomenei has been responsible for 12 thousand dead or so. One can expect that regimes with messianic complex, and gnostic at that too, would be capable of evil deeds, given they would always have the sanction to do so in their twisted minds. But... twelve thousand, or more, and the numbers will grow and grow fast. And it is not a move that...

In Which we have Samurai emblems and so on

Good morning reader of this post, and happy FRIDAY! Friday friyay! How are you today? I do hope your week was pleasant, a nice prologue for 2022, a year that we are not sure what will bring. At the end of the day, we never are sure anyway. I didn't have much to share this week unfortunately, reason why I didn't blog much, but I really wanted to write anyway, so here I am! How is the weather, by the way? Is it freezing or freaking hot? Where I am, it is the second option, unfortunately, and the fact many friends would really appreciate a bit of a heat right now is no consolation for me, as I am still me at the end of the day, and they are still them, and I like cold more than I like the heat is all. I have a bit of an update on the friendship side this year already... not so good, but anyway.

So, yea, it was quick, I'm already out of the Ludi's discord server, I saw it coming, he said some stupid crap on his stream, even worse than the crap he said on Christmas, also someone in the audience said something even more stupid, and well, I don't wanna associate with them anymore... It's a shame because he seemed like a nice guy. Maybe he is, but his ideas are not. Also, unfortunately Luthimir deleted me on Discord, which is sad, but I still like him and will support him, as I still like and support MattOverYonder. I don't know if I've hurt them, but they hurt me, but I don't care, I just love them anyway, can't help but love the people I do. Don't know if I should message Luth right now to say that to him... as it would make me anxious, but anyway. 

As in other news, I hope I can do some experimentation in drawing at least for the season of January and so on, this first half of 2022. I've been very interested in the samurai house emblems (kamons) of the Muromachi period in Japan (previously called by me the Sengoku period), as I play Europa Universalis, I get to see those details in Japanese culture and art and so on and they are very wonderful. It is almost impossible to understand how such a remote place as the Japanese isles gave birth to such a MIND BLOWING AND AMAZING culture! No wonder it was always all the rage in Europe, from the moment Japan was discovered by Portuguese sailors, to their opening to the world stage in the 19th century, that caused a nippomania in the world that would last for many many years. So yes, I do want to learn more into that, maybe I'll have my own japonist period, in the stuff I do!

I think this is a nice swift short post that nonetheless have a lot to offer! I hope my posts may keep on going this direction, as it is a nice goal and a tendency that I believe can be traced to my first ones. Anyway, I wish you the best, my friend, and I'd gladly see you again next time!
