In the C18th the rhyme was published as:
The Tragical Death of A, Apple Pye Who was Cut in Pieces and Eat by 25 Gentlemen with whom All Little People Ought to be Very Well Acquainted. Capitals I & J were written the same way, so the rhyme for I came later.

This is an OC I’ve had for 10+ years named Sen, and she is a Kage Onna! This project is heavily steeped in my interest in Japanese folklore. I know a project like this is iffy as I am a white artist but I’ll research the f*** out of it. If I overstep please let me know.

To roll out the Major Arcana with frames I decided today to show one I think will enjoy. Art by , of course.
