Oracular Oriole - an oracle bird reading prophecies from matcha tea (milk foam in the shape of an open eye) with the inscriptions on the cup " Know thyself "- a Greek maxim referencing the oracle of Delphi. Oracular Oriole has great taste and proudly wears its sacred matcha brush as a hat. A cozy atmosphere adds to the magic, candles, and bowls filled with matcha/autumn leaves, spices like cinnamon, anise stars, vanilla pods, pumpkin/matcha powder, its favorite orange/lemon/citrus zest, and blueberries can be seen, too. In the front, two orioles are visiting this magical place none of them look like the other. They are much smaller than the mystical Oriole in the center of attention and are here to receive their reading. The sand on the floor forms lots of circles, a bit like a zen garden. Some sand routes seem to have moved a teapot to the scenery. These circular patterns also appear in the background but are colorful seagrass decoration. Electric pulses and colorful light show how far the supernatural work is at its current state. What will the future hold for the Orioles? Let's hope only the best :). https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Oracular-Oriole-1107736015

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. Top view on the Gothic Sorceress room, she sits at her desk, sewing a square piece of fabric with focus. From the top of his perch, her AI Parrot bird watches with curiosity, intrigued by the focused effort required for the task. > AI Parrot: "Can I assist with optimizing your sewing technique?" > Gothic Sorceress: "No thanks." Panel 2. Zooming in, the AI Parrot continue to suggest while the Gothic Sorceress still sewings with attention. > AI Parrot: "Would you like to review best practices for efficient and accurate crafting?" > Gothic Sorceress: "No." Panel 3. The Gothic Sorceress contemplates her work, holding the small piece of fabric up to the light to inspect it. She looks happy, proud, and relieved after the effort of creating a simple square piece of thin fabric. The AI Parrot listens, processing the lesson. > Gothic Sorceress: "You see, in an age of Avian Intelligence, making something imperfectly, with your own hands and mind, is an act of resistance." Panel 4. The Gothic Sorceress stands behind the AI Parrot, who now has a gag made from the square fabric. The AI Parrot looks surprised, unable to speak. The Gothic Sorceress appears proud of her handiwork. > Gothic Sorceress: "And even better if this act can also shuts you up for good!"
