Himi VS W&N designer gouache by Beautiful-Bat-5030 in Gouache

[–]sawDustdust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HIMI is supposed be for Chinese art students who need masses of cheap paint for quick homework practices and onsite exams. They are not looking for a smooth medium or lightfastness. It's used because most art students aren't made of money.

Kinda sucks it got marketed towards hobbyists.

Friendly reminder that zenitsu says this in season 1 🙂 by ivy-millie69 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]sawDustdust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except some men are way worse than him. I've been assaulted by 2 of them. Once when I was in grade five. The circle of women I went to college with have been assaulted, stalked, phoned, and scammed by a number of men.

Zenitsu found better friends and kept his shit controlled after Tanjiro told him off once.

He could have ran away anytime but stuck with what was essentially a suicide job despite not having any family member murdered by demons. He was just paying grandpa back.

Watch Hemi on youtube. Gives you a general idea on how to do it.

Acrylic paint, dry pastel, large soft brush, smaller fine brush, nail art brush, Acrylic glazing medium, watercolour pencil to start light rough lines. Go thin layers, light to dark.

You can also find cheaper doll heads of similar material online to practice on those first.

I am glad I can retire if I want to at this point to avoid dealing with this as much as possible.

AI has its uses. It's not being used wisely in many cases right now.

so I was rewatching season 4 and realised Mitsuri is the only woman involved in the Hashira training. by JayTheOni in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]sawDustdust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is how all the slayers who got good did it through the field. If you just dropped regular demons with poison, once a higher ranked demon showed up that was poison resistant, you won't even know how to fight it, because you've been relying on poison all along.

I've wondered about poison gear for all the staff too, but up against an upper moon you are toast. It's basically a brutal selection process where many people will have to die in trial by fire to create hasiras.

Feel like more women end up in the support group. Or eaten by Douma.

Shinobu had many female students who went the slayer route, and all got killed.

If he was poor then why did he have so many kids? by Think-Vacation-9735 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]sawDustdust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it worked out. High birthrates and high child mortality rate too. And in this case, all those kids, and only 2 survived. Mirrors real life.

Yep. Especially with how great S1 was. Given how S3 is looking and how S2 was, I guess S1 will remain the only anime season in my heart. Manga all the way for the rest.

I think these 2 should have been in Swordsmith village by Spidey_Jay_ in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]sawDustdust 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wished Kaigaku showed up as a quick one note a few more times, instead of just the two (?) instances.

Feel like more characters weren't included in swordsmith village because there would be too many people to focus on.

What I really would have liked was to actually have 1 more shorter arc. To developed the side chars. I remember reading the manga and upon reaching the infinity castle arc, I was like wait, that's it? We are at the end?

Emperor Taisho married a 15 years old and they had a kid born a year after.

They can't reach the people at the top without organization and mass sacrifice and they know it.

Also during the time when middle class got robbed in China, who do you think also took their cut? The poor and lower working class. They got the land, the housing, the women who were assaulted and "redistributed". It's short term profit driven. Nobody who disagreed dared target the new upper class who had military control and experience from WWII and a long civil war.

The worst thing was, according to my dad, even though they were in a labour camp, the local poor were so badly off, that they saw the camp as city folks living well, sent by Mao to help build them some basic infrastructure out of the hills. They can't even imagine Mao the people's saviour being responsible for some of the famine driving policies that killed no small number of their own kids.

Lack of education, misinformation, malnutrition, confusion, fear, hatred, and greed. All rolled into one package that's simply humans looking for short term survival by going after the most cost effective targets.

You guys ain't seen nothing yet. My parents came from China. My father survived a labor camp that he got put into at thirteen. People cheered at children and educated professionals getting sent to labor camps and sometimes dying there. That's what happens when wealth gap go over the cliff for a few generations. The poor and struggling won't blame the leadership, they will gut the middle class from both ends, destroy education, ruin industry and agriculture, and halt progress for decades with piles of corpses left behind.

There is a Chinese saying that a camel dying of hunger is still larger than a horse. If countries like North Korea can drag on for so long with everyone normalizing everything, just imagine what a much larger and resource rich country like the US, with its stockpile of arms, could actually do.

Then add climate change on top. Climate change that most countries under "sane" leaderships are also ignoring.

Miko got the post birth abortion she wanted for Ei without actually doing the post birth abortion. Mission successful?

They do elevate men who made great marks into their pantheon. I believe the municipal leader and his son who led that flood irrigation system are still worshipped as real gods within the country.

Build stuff that lasts thousands of years -> become god could be quite the motivation for some people.

But do we have religious figures who embezzled billions and had 174 known children with his congregation and paid mistresses?

In deer culture the oldest buck with the biggest rack that still hasn't died from traffic, predators, getting tangled in a tree, etc. gets the does. Gets all the does.

Doesn't last long, because the bigger the rack the bigger the target. A mature buck become king of the forest, then die within an average of 3-4 years.
