In #JapaneseFolklore kubikajiri is a #yokai that eats the heads of its victims, living or dead. It waits in graveyards for the freshly buried dead, which it then digs up to feast on. Kubikajiri smells of blood and in some accounts it is also headless. Some believe they may...

A creature in the form of a withered old man with no legs hovers above a grave. He is chewing on a severed head and blood is dripping into the ground.

Frieren
Fanart of Frieren, in her art nouveau inspired outfit from the ED. It's a torso-up shot and she's gently holding some Blue Moon Weed flowers just below her chest. She's wearing a crown of them too. Her expression is neutral as she looks off into the distance. The style of the piece is inspired by art nouveau, but cel-shaded with black.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
