Oh, God, you incorrigible goofball!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: In this Bible story, God asks Abraham to kill his beloved son as a sacrifice.  Abraham is surely mortified, but does as he's told, bringing Isaac to a mountaintop and setting up an altar.  However, just as he's about to slaughter his son, a goat appears, and God says Abraham can sacrifice that instead of his son.  For Christians, this story is both a test of Abraham's faith in God, as well as a foreshadowing of Jesus's sacrifice on the cross.  While mankind deserves death for their sins, a Lamb appears -- Jesus -- and is sacrificed in our stead.  While Abraham's son was spared, God's own Son faces death and triumphs.  Anywho, this cartoon reimagines the moment God asks Abraham to slaughter his son, in stunning technicolor!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 'Tis the season, it seems, for yet ANOTHER "Tomics Resurrections," where I've redrawn one of my older comics.  Much like most of my original comics, the old one is very desaturated with lots of grays and browns, and while the same essential tone is kept in the new one, I've altered the dialogue to give it a little extra zing.  The only part I regret having to change is "burn him alive."  It's such a jarring phrase, but it's not quite correct, as God's asking for a "burnt offering," and as the custom goes, a sacrificial burnt offering would be killed before being burned, not burned alive.

So how does the new compare to the old?  In this case, the old version is truly ancient (cartoon #29 according to my filing system), which I think makes it about... 10 years old...?  That can't be.  I still remember writing "2014" on stuff.  Oh my gosh... This is a lot to process... I, uh... um... Where was I...?  Oh, yeah... "Tomics Resurrection"!  Woohoo!  Haha...!  Yeah, so the funny thing about the old version is that even IT was technically a resurrection, 'cause it was based on a cartoon I drew in a notebook back in college... before Tomics was a thing... in 2012... oy... Sorry, I have to sit down for a second...

Honestly your blog and the way you write Jin is such a breath of fresh air, that's why I always come back to ask you stuff because I also learn or remember things from the lore that I forgot over the years lol. I soo agree with your post about Asuka's wasted potential.. man. She's one of my faves and she could be so much more but Harada just can't seem to do her justice. Like you say, she's a Kazama. She's not some random character. She's part of Jin's family, yet we don't see them interact. And the one time we see them together, my mans falls straight down to her chest 💀. Sometimes it kinda seems the Pachinko stuff have much more substance than the actual Canon things we got in game.

I saw a video of the girls (Asuka, Xiao, Miharu, Alisa, and I think Lili) fighting a giant mecha Heihachi lmao. And I was like??? Bruh. This is incredible. I want to see Asuka and Xiao kicking ass together. And then there's Jin on his bike looking at them like, nevermind. lol

Oh my gosh! Thank you, haha!! I'm glad you enjoy it - always a VERY wonderful thing to hear, and does help with motivation to be around as always! And I ALWAYS love being asked things, too! A thing to always look forward to when logging on here. :P

YEAHHH. I'll just never understand the reason to write Asuka in such a way, or what's even the point of her character. Like, that never happened to Jun - Jun has always been written quite seriously. And yes, I know Asuka isn't a stoic like Jun is, nor is she a love interest of one of the main characters. But still! She's a Kazama nonetheless, and it's not like her concept is particularly silly or ridiculous. (See Alex or Roger) so, I really don't understand how her character just came to be fan service and comic relief.

AND LOOK - I know on this blog I often joke about Jin being a Mega Virgin and all that. But he's not THAT oblivious. Come on, he's still a 21 year old man. He'd understand why Asuka would be so upset at him for falling into his chest, even if it was an accident and he didn't intend to. He'd still realized what happened - instead of - INSTEAD OF QUESTIONING

wHaT wAs ThAt AbOuT??? (cue Big Bang Theory canned laughter)

It IS kinda funny how the Pachinko games do seem to have more substance. I haven't checked 'em out completely yet. But I mean, we do get Jin saving Asuka in an actual serious scene. Xiaoyu actually interacting with DJ, and I guess/think we see Jin actually fight Azazel? Like put that much effort into the actual games, please, lmao.

It would be actually cool to see Xiao and Asuka team up and interact. In fact, they could've done just that had they actually acknowledged that ASUKA HAS THE ABILITY TO REPEL THE DEVIL GENE. Like instead of introducing ANOTHER CHARACTER who supposedly can, with no connections to the Kazamas (Claudio) they could've had Xiao learn about Jun, then going to Asuka for help as she realized Asuka may have the same power. Upon hearing this, and how it can save the world as they know it, as well as their friend/family - Asuka agrees to come along with Xiao to track down Jin/DJ.

My ask refreshed, so I had to start this over from the beginning again from memory. Ah, oh well I guess.

So this Ask is going to be long; I hope you don't mind. You don't have to answer everything ofc, and you can take your time replying to this ask. No stress and no rush.

I am very happy that you like all my questions to you, and that you find them fun! Looking forward to seeing some of my questions answered in the video; as well as other people's. If you ever do something like this again; I will probably just reblog all my questions instead of doing a bunch of replies. Well, I did rb that post, but I didn't add my questions to it. I have done stuff like before when I thought the replies were getting to be a lot, but I only thought about doing that when I was basically done w/ my questions, so I didn't this time around. Good luck on the move. Very excited to see the/this video with the questions and stuff in like January probably. Very cool that are getting closer and closer to Ch4. Can't wait for the rest of Ch3 and for Ch4 to come out.

The last 2 updates or so have been very tense and interesting. Sans basically revealing to Tori that he threatened the human (Nema), & Tori kind of seeing Asgore in Sans and calling Sans Asgore were both just big "umphhh" and "Oh no" moments. I loved those updates a lot, man. You are good at writing conversations/talks and character dynamics. I really like and think dynamics and stuff between Sans and Toriel can be very interesting (like some stuff in Paper Trail w/ them, esp. the diner scene. ReaperTale's creator has some really cool stuff w/ them too for examples), and so I am happy you are doing some interesting and good stuff with that w/ them, & I look forward to more of that w/ them.

I found it funny that right after I read the part where Tori calls Sans "Asgore" and before I finished that part, that I was basically just imagining in my head and kind laughing with that Sans was just going to be all like, "you know what, I am just going to leave", and just walk out of there after that. After finishing that part, I kind of laughed even more (though was also sad by ofc), that was basically what happened, ahaha.

A little bit late, but happy 2 year Anniversary to NemaTale!!! I really liked the illustration you did for it with Nema, Sans, and Paps (Who was holding them in the air in a hear hug). A like the touch of the 6 colored circles behind them being in the colors (I think) of the 7 human souls. It was a nice touch.

A tag for that post has got me a bit worried (and curious/interested) though, that tag being this one: "this is the cutest and friendliest that sans is going to be for a while haha". Which, it really looks like things are gonna probably get worse before they get better. At least between Sans and Nema probably. Which is is an "Oh no", that I am also all for seeing unfold more in the comic/story.

I really like the stuff you put in the descriptions of the comic pages, a favorite of mine being the "you never let me do the Spanish inquisition" etc. one; that one was really funny.

A bit off topic from all that, but cool that you added the covers to the Masterpost. You should extra NemaTale stuff too maybe; like the NemaTale 2nd year anniversary illustration.

Ok done with this very long Ask; hopefully and/or probably the last such things from me for awhile. Great job on NemaTale as always; great comic.

Oh wow, this is such an awesome ask! I kept it in my inbox for a few days because it just made me so happy. I hope you don't mind :D

The video is coming along nicely! I've tentatively set the release date for January 6th, though it might be a little later than that. I want it to release about a day before I start posting chapter 4! And I'm so glad you're excited for what's coming.

It's been so much fun to get to share the Sans-Tori scene with all of you! Everyone has had really cool discussions about it, I've been blown away by all the feedback and discourse. It makes me so happy people are talking about it, haha! There's lots of tension between them. Even though they are good friends, they reaaaally don't see eye to eye on the human thing right now, haha!

And thank you for the well wishes on the 2nd anniversary! The 7 colored circles were indeed meant to represent the 7 souls, good catch ;D

And yeppp, Sans' feelings toward Nema--and humans in general--are pretty negative, as we saw from the latest comic update. There will be many subsequent "oh nos" because of his negative feelings.

I'm also really glad you like the descriptions on the pages! I kinda stole that idea from zarla-s, the creator of handplates. Her descriptions always made me laugh, so I wanted to do something similar in my own comic descriptions, haha :D

And I will definitely add that illustration to the masterpost, thanks for the tip! Have a great day :D

A non-Clark-y Kara would have been so badass 😂 In the comics and e.g. Young Justice she did always come across as the "tougher" of the two...🤔 Ohh, imagine what those Karamel dynamics could have been like🤣🤣 (Tho their idiotic-arguing-puppy-love is just heartwarming 😂) 

Oh, I'm not even gonna argue. I love Kara, but this is one argument on which iI will NEVER even slightly agree with her. I mean, you already pionted out more than enough points for why, but the fact she didn't bother any other alien (e.g. from the alien bar) about how they're selfish for not superheroing or that she didn't consider she herself spent all but what? A year? on earth without superheroing and even Kal/Clark didn't always just makes her whole point pathetic... Same with the Jeremiah situation when once again Mon was made out as wrong and bad for what? Being right? Being cautious? Just no. And nobody ever apologized!!!😑

I don't get what they have against Kara being in therapy anyway, like Young Justice spent a whole episode giving the Heroes therapy sessions to deal with their trauma/traumatic experience...  

Ohhh, but what could warrant her staying forever?🤔

Ohhh 😱😍😭 I'm not sure whether to be happy of having a karamel godkid (you do realize you just sent me into a terrible downward spiral of "What does he look like? What is he like? Is he more like Kara or more like Mon or their perfect like mix? HOW DID HE DIE? I MUST PROTECT LITTLE PRECIOUS KARAMEL CHILD!", right?😅😂 I NEED ANSWERS!!) or to go sit in the corner and bitterly cry over his death...

And no, I definitely DO want to hear about Mon and Lan's deaths and how Maya reacted! I NEED to know 😭😭😭  

NOOO, write theeeeeemmm😭 You can't just drop all this heartbreak and not write and fix it!😭😭 (Just to clear up: I'd never wanna force you into anything at all ofc, so when I say sth like this, I'm just whining, don't feel forced to do anything🙈)

 Haha, nah, it's fine anyway😁 Always good to have a bunch of book recommendations lying around for whenever I finally have time for it again☺ 

I'll give you a million tragic high-fives😂 And Yup, we're pretty much screwed by definition😅 (Tho, to be fair, in "The Mortal Instruments" I got attached to kinda two side characters(one a badass immortal warlock and one a cool shadowhunter) who did end up together, and even have their own spin-off which inlucdes them adopting two Kids! So that was a non-screwed over (homosexual) couple😁💃🏻) 

Ohh, wait, which ones do you mean in Naruto?🤔 

Yeah, esp. the absorption thing was sooooo awesome, poor Lydia finally got a break from announcing death😅 And yes, Parrish was so underrated and underused anyway... It's like they just literally forgot about him and the fact that they know a hellhound...🙈 Would have been awesome to see him save the day instead of Scott winning against everyone and everything cause freaking plotarmor...😩 (It's ridiculous he defeated people like Deucalion or Peter...)

HAHAHA, Greenberg calling him Bobby would have been the BEST SCENE EVER!!!😍😂🤣

I already put Lightbringer on the list😂 Ohhh, nice rule, but I doubt I'd manage that without abandoning everything else in life😂 Just reading a little is not possible for me, if I start the book, you can be sure I'll be done with it in 3 days at most😂 (Tho at least I get my Daily dose of fanfics, which does usually derail many of my to-do-plans or sleep schedule too, but hey, "less" than normal bookd🤷🏻‍♀️😅)

Haha, Thanks, not even sure how many exactly I'm still waiting for... There's stuff that hasn't updates since 2013 or so, so... Let's really not talk about this😅😭😂

Yeah, it's probably an unspoken anime fan rule😂 Tho hey, at least you're not my level of stupid about it and try to draw realistic stuff too😅 I'm pretty sure I owe Chris Wood at least 5 apologies for the terrible attempts I made at drawing him😅🙈🙈

HAHAHAHA, yess, that's a good way of going about it😂 Tho, tbh, while I love ranting about articles, they do very much so have their purpose and using the wrong one does indeed make a big difference at times🤔 But they're still terrible😉😂

Ah yes, the good ol' days of RTL2 and Pokito 🤔😍😊 Back when they spent at least 12 hours a day with animes etc😂 And well, I mean, animes do tend to be rather obvious about what's going on even if you don't understand anything🤔 

Yup, side character fics are so freaking hard to get by... Just saaaaaaadddd😭😭😭

Ohhh, sounds like more than just dissapointment😅 I mean, I didn't exactly like the end or the way they made the later half of Naruto either, but what exactly was your major point of dissapointment? (Still my biggest problem was how they just nerved Naruto and Sasuke and the villains to god level and made everyone else pathetic, useless bystanders😅🤷🏻‍♀️🙈)

Haha, yess, weirdos for winners💃🏻

PS: ☺🙈🙈

XXXXXXX

Yeah, maybe we are getting that version in the movie. Still, probably not going to watch.

Hmm, interesting how their interaftions would look like. For sure she would quite quickly threw Lena's ass into the sun and feel zero remorese about it. But with Mon-El? Hmm.

Annoyed but intrigued or interested? Finally someone who remembered her planet and people and I don't think she would have been as butthurt about him being the prince. But... interesting idea for a fic, lol

And you know the BEST thing? She became a superhero when she was liek what, 24? ONLY becasue Alex was in danger. But well, hypocrisy was one of her character flaws.

I think Mon suffered from the "oh, no, Kara can;t apologize or admit she was wrong, especially to him". Anotehr funny thing is that's the SAME thing they had done to Alex and Kara. How many times Kara was right, but Alex screamed and didn't apologize?

Because oh she is oh so strong woman and doesn't need it. What is funny again, because thye have spent wasting time on some super dumb so called important eye-opening stuff and couldn't have spared one ep about mental health. Interesting, right?

That depends on my mood xD Because you know, as much as I like Danvers sisters I see their bond as problematic and it was never really approached. So, for example Kara deciding she needs to stay by Alex's side becasue uwu, life is brutal, she needs to three-wheeling her and her family for entire life and blah blah. What would BE CANON.

No. Becasue in the end I will want to write whole fic, so no ==' As I said, I'm the queen of unwritten angst, not written. But I can assure you, all my ideas are heartbreaking. For example mxy showing her all the scenes from her future life and all what happened, because she can't believe she just left her family etc. MUHAHAHAH

Errrm, is this malec ship? Becasue it sounds like them and I kind of know some of the stuff from Shafowhunters from the gifs on tumblr XD HAPPY FOR YOU!

Naruto, sigh. Funny stroy, in the begining i liked SasuxSaku but with time and how the story unfold, i started hated them. I really liked Sasuke and imo, he should have or died honorable death or stayed asexual and with no fam. Last Uchiha, no more curse and more people hunting for them. End of story. And seriosuly, I hate the "big breasted fangirl gets the dude and becomes the perfect waifu aka wet dream of every dude in Japan" (a big generalization, but you get my point). That's why I hate IchiHime ==' tbh, the same goes for NaruHina, but whatever.

Maybe they will fix things in the movie..... MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't mind Scott, maybe he was not my fave character but was not bad... as for a typical teen kinda-superhero.

We would finally see Greenberg! And the conspiracy theory aka Greenberg being Bobby's halluciation or imaginery student would be clear xD

Hey, fics are in a lot of cases better than published books! I wouold ask you to go to sleep at a normal hour, but I do the same shit iwth books so xD

I like to swallow books like that... unless I get to a problematic part and I suspecty next things are going to destroy me xD so then sometimes I leave it for a few days... or months... sometimes years xD

Gurl TT All of my fave Gundam SEED fics are not finished TT ... oh wait, there is one mine that is not finished, oops

It's not stupid, it's how we learn, right? For example I stopped drawning alsmot in 100% but I like coloring books with pencils.

SO GO AND DRAW CHRIS!

Articles (in any language) will never make sense to me, so I bow to the queen *bows*

RTL2 was my wormhole to anime world xD with bad internet connection and almost no anime in Polish tv, it felt like heaven. Still my dad was always pissed off when he caught me watching, but well, typical anime fan's life xD

Sad high five. We are doomed *satres into the void*

You kow, the typical shounen stuff - from zero to god level, saving the world from apocalypsis, power of friendship, sometimes I really want the good guys losing. And well, the ships at the end - geeeeeeeeeez. Minus ShikaTema all were dissapoiting. Or maybe I'm salty after what they have done to Jiraya and Tsunade, who knows. And as I said, everything about Sasuke. Just. No.

YEEEHAAAAAAAAAAW!
