WHO DID THIS

President Goku slams his fist on his desk and screams into his phone. “I dont give a hot gay fuck what congress says! Legalize weed, dude!”

The real John Henry was most likely a young man born in the 1800s who had been arrested and imprisoned to work as "leased labor" (part of how the US replaced slave labor) on the C&O railway, and likely died of silicosis and was buried in an unmarked grave, similarly to untold hundreds of similar leased labor prisoners who died similarly. I believe that as an Ascendant, he would be representative of both free workers and prisoners. Common variants of his songs, especially work songs, speak about how "this hammer killed John Henry, but it won't kill me" as a worker's commitment to guarding your life more than the labor you'd give whoever you're working for. Proving your strength, value, and skill to your employer isn't worth giving your life for, especially if you're being coerced into that labor for survival. I think some of the traits he would embody or be sought for would be safety (especially in workplaces), strength, community solidarity, and perseverance. He would probably also be a patron of Abolitionists. Another possible Ascendant from US folklore I can think of off the top of my head would be John Brown and Crispus Attucks? But a lot of people from US history/folklore actually wouldn't qualify because either they had a big part in propagating their own legends (See: most early white men like the founding fathers, who functionally have their own religion via Americanism) or weren't real people in the first place (see: Paul Bunyan) If y'all have ideas of other folkloric people who might fit the bill as Ascendants (not just US folklore, I just know US folklore best), you should bring em up in reblogs im curious. If I write more about this I'll probably use the tags Ascendants/The Ascendants.

I struggled to figure this girl out! Idk why but she was so hard to draw! She came out pretty cute though!
