A Morning Strollby ~bluebirdjoy

Manga & Anime / Traditional Media / Drawings

I thought it was funny that the cockroach was the first animal I have ever dissected. And the only animal I've ever dissected. I also had major issues with drawing the cockroach (it never turned out quite right....).

--

Last semester, I took the required biology course, which of course, comes with a lab. In that lab, we were required to dissect a rat, earthworm, cockroach, crayfish, and starfish. It was.... a very interesting class to say the least. However, underneath all the innocence, I couldn't help but feel my emotions and sense of morality clash together like bulls in a bull fight.

To put it simply, I was halfway between intellectual fascination and moral disgust. Oftentimes, I wonder if there's anyone else in my lab who feels the same way.

_{I never found anyone.}

When it came time to start on our final projects for my art class, my mind directly flew to those conflicting emotions, having finished my practical for the lab a week before _{which was horrible btw orz}.

Anyways, I don't want to spend too long explaining, so feel free to deduce whatever you feel like from this series.
