We had to write a Mini Comic for my Illustration Class so I did mine based on The Frog and The Scorpion. Hopefully you all know the story! 

But if you don’t know the story… In the original the scorpion stings the frog in the middle of the river. When the frog asks “why” the scorpion says “it’s in my nature” and they both die. I like my ending more.

Done with watercolor and pen and ink nib.

I always thought this story was fucked up, even when I heard it as a very young child. I even got put in the naughty corner, and a star next to my name crossed off for questioning it.

This story is so much better, and I like it’s message much more.

The original moral was PROBABLY meant to be about ‘well, if you know someone’s toxic you can’t be surprised when they’re toxic to you too’. but in general it is more used as ‘those people are bad and evil and you should only expect bad and evil of them (and they can’t be good even if they try)’

So….you don’t care anything at all about the kids stuck at the border? Just because “liberals are mad about it”? Or is it that they’re illegal aliens, so they don’t deserve sympathy because their parents should have known this was coming? Either way, you don’t think there’s a marginally more humane, less mentally traumatizing for the US to deal with this? What about the reports of sexual assault on the children?

hominishostilis:

You know what’s more humane and less mentally traumatizing? Not dragging your kid across the border, illegally, and then complaining that you get punished for it accordingly while your child is removed from your custody because you’re a criminal.

You can’t complain about “the kids!!!!” without acknowledging why they are there in the first place, but by god do people skate right by it every time.

Sexual assault is exactly why people argued that it’s stupid to house children and adults together, coupled with the fact that a lot of these kids aren’t being brought by their parents, they’re being trafficked.

You’re not going to get me to toss my hands up and go “well gosh, let’s just not enforce the laws anymore because it’s too hard and too inconvenient”, and apparently nobody listens when I talk about how inefficient state run things tend to be. But what else would you have them do? Seriously, propose a plan that doesn’t involve just letting people in or get away with continuously trying to sneak in. Because all I ever hear with these arguments is that because the border patrol and law enforcement is overwhelmed by the number of people who keep trying to sneak in, we just shouldn’t enforce the law at all. Either that, or amnesty for every person who hops the fence which is just as stupid.

They’re children; I’m sympathetic. I’m also not going to fall for the typical strategy of using children to try to shame people into accepting an agenda.

4chan boards like /ck/, /lit/, and shit are so funny because they take a culture that’s as abrasive and as edgy as possible and put it inside a traditionally calm normal hobby so you get language like “whoever doesn’t butter your yams go fuck yourself you filthy piece of shit”

The last time I was on /ck/ someone said he liked to put soy sauce on his spaghetti and the first reply told him he’d beat him to death if he ever said that again.

Went on for like 5 mins and
