Description Gah, I've been working on this off-and-on for ages. Though we're far past when this would have taken place in TBotE (I'm thinking this would be right after they came to the temple), it'll be mentioned in a couple chapters. (Spoilers? ...Not really, no.) Why? Because it's pretty obvious that Wuya isn't even close to being Chinese. And as such, somebody's got to show her how to use the chopsticks, and Dashi decides to be nice and try.

There's a reason it takes her a really long time to learn. XD

Don't think I can say too much more without this turning into spoilers. But I loved how this came out (hands that are...dare I say it...good?!), even some of the perspective and shadows are a bit wonky. And before anyone says it...this is NOT Omi. Please. D:

This was a really clever idea and I love this style!!
I love your xiaolin showdown work i think it would be funny if you had a picture of wuya in that episode where she came out of the ying-yang world and she was all-"I'm opening a home for birds without nests...." Just wondering...

Wonderful, you do their personalites so wonderfully. And Dojo looks so cute right there, sleeping on the scroll. I assume he's still a baby at the time.

Well...:

A: Her markings under her eyes. What other explanation would you have for that?

B: Her red hair: Where else would whe get it?

C: Her style of clothing and magic: not very martial-artist-like, like most eastern magicks. Very curse and mage-oriented...

But Wuya's name is Chinese. D: It means "crow". She could have had red hair 'cause of all the magic thingers. xD;;

Dojo is so cute and awesome drawing of creases, wood grains and hairlines... I get lazy doing those. D:

Maybe if you gave dashi his trademark hat, people wouldn't think he's Omi. Not that he looks like Omi, at all, but people somehow draw the connection... *sigh*

Good pic, by the way. it's funny...

avi17 In reply to Avearia [2007-02-21 05:04:24 +0000 UTC]

*shrug* Even if he wore the hat as a kid, though, I don't think he'd wear it inside.

Heh, but thanks.

THAT, over there, would be me with forks. They're just so hard to use!

I love watching people use chopsticks like that. xD It's the same sadistic kick I get out of hearing people mispronounce *read: serial-murder* the "Gung Hay Fat Choy" thing, which really needs to be respelled. (Maybe "gong hei faht zcoy" or something.) xDDDD YOU WIN FOR THIS.

I don't use chopsticks like that. I use the ones that are attached at the end. XD

YAY. I WIN.

I'm already on episode 15 or something ish, so I'm a little slow on the uptake, but. . . HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED WHO THOSE TWO WERE. o.o WUYA AND DASHI?!

As Omi would say it, the badness was mine. *bows head in shame*

From America. Why'dya ask? *blink*

Ooohohoo, I've seen those. They seem absolutely ridiculous to me. *ebil cackle* Chopsticks like those won't teach you how to use chopsticks faster; if anything, they'll slow you down! :0 But, whatever works for you.

YOU WIN! I LOSE! WAAAAHHH! *emos*

XD Yes. Yes they are. That, my friend, is the power of fandom.

I dunno, you said you were bad with forks. O.o

I know they won't teach me, but...I use them anyways. XD

No! Don't let the emo-ness get you! D:

A powerful thing indeed. *nodnod*

Yeah, I am. I've used chopsticks my entire life. I'm slightly better at forks now, 'cuz I spent last week on a cruise, but I still don't really like them.

Heeeheeee. Well dun let me stop you! Go connected chopsticks!! *cheers*

WHY?! IT'S. . . *gasp* CRAAAWWWLING IN MY SKIIIINNN!! *chokes and dies*

Ah. XD Avi was definitely raised on forks.

Whee! *clicks chopsticks* Click click!

Hee, most people I know are. Including some of my cousins. >.>;; It's very sad for me to see Chinese kids who don't know how to use chopsticks.

Click you!! Oooh, have you seen the ones that are like a girl or a boy doll that you slip on the tops of regular chopsticks? They're so adorable~~

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES!! THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!! SUFFOCATION, NO BREATHING, DON'T GIVE A FCK IF I CUT MY ARM BLEEDING!! *emos soul out*
