@muffinlance I see your Zuko gets adopted by old sweepy and propose to you Zuko gets adopted by a random scholar at the Ba Sing Se University.

Look in Yuka's defense she has a lot of siblings, and Zuko at a quick glance could pass as her youngest brother. Yes, he should be at home still nowhere near Ba Sing Se, but her siblings end up in the strangest of places so she wouldn't put it past him to show up randomly. Doesn't help she already wears thick lens glasses, and her eyesight is just getting worse from all the reading in the dark she does. Also, she was deep in her research for the paper, and the kid she mistook as her brother was really useful at finding her just what she needed for her paper. He was also apparently an expert on Avatar research, able to spout off all kinds of facts and quotes where he got that research from. By the time she realizes this kid isn't her little brother, she's decided to adopt him anyway, and she will absolutely fight the Di Lee for him. He is her new research partner, and she'll list him as one of her sources if she has to. Then they can't take him as he is an integral part of the development of the culture of Ba Sing Se. Besides, the kid sucks at hiding the fact that he is a fire bender and needs someone to take him under their wing. Half her family are firebenders anyway. She may be small and mousy, but she can be mighty when it comes to her research. She is totally willing to throw hands with the Di Lee if it comes down to it.

Zuko isn't sure what to make of the small mousy scholar he accidentally stumbled upon while trying to find more research on the Avatar. Nor is he sure how he became her research assistant. All he knows is she started calling him Koji and talking to him like she knew him or rather knew this Koji and handing him scrolls to put away and requesting more works on the Avatar some he hadn't read before as Ba Sing Se was the one place he hadn't been able to break into until now. Then he starts spouting off his Avatar knowledge between what he knows of the current Avatar and what he read in old books and scrolls she just jots down what he said without ever once looking up at him. By the time she realizes he isn't this Koji person, she has apparently decided she is keeping him. She escorts him home or to the tea shop when she is done picking his brain for the day or treats him to good food and makes sure he gets enough to not only fill his belly but also to bring home to Uncle. When he gets fired from the tea shop for fighting Jet, she hires him permanently. She even argues that Jet is clearly delusional and needs help not to be carted off by the Culural Police. He is clearly scared so badly he can't see he is safe and that there is no war in Ba Sing Se. So Jet gets an involuntary stay in one of Ba Sing Se's finest mental hospitals with his own personal Joo Dee to look after him. It's around this time that Uncle realizes he may have to fight this young lady for custody of his nephew. At least he is staying out of trouble and expanding his intellectual knowledge.

Upon further research, it turns out that the Netflix version of Asterix and Obelix’s childhood is actually based off the children’s book “How Obelix Fell into the Magic Potion When He Was a Little Boy”

And believe it or not… they might actually be even cuter in the book???

The prototypes to my Geology Monsters series were these two funky guys from March 2023.

I made the sketch for the marten in the plane from Naples to home, after we'd done a full circle around Mt. Vesuvius and you could really peer into its crater and see how close it is to the metropolis. I had also visited it during my stay there (but it was cloudy all week so unfortunately the view at the summit wasn't good), as well as the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. That really sparked something in me. These two volcanic beasts were painted the same week after I got home.

Later I picked up the concept again and the monsters became more, well, monstrous. I still like these though! Both are small paintings done with ecoline inks.

Former Belle declares her love for her king in front of the neighboring nobility. It's super effective!

I speeded through Nokto's sequel a few days ago and I had fun time with it! Nokto has a way of surprising you with how much depth he has and his sequel definitely delivered on that.

The Princess of Wales, Colonel, Irish Guards, will visit the regiment at Wellington Barracks in central London on 17th March for the St Patrick's Day Parade. ☘️

On arrival at the barracks, Her Royal Highness will award long service and good conduct medals to soldiers within the regiment.

Following the parade, Her Royal Highness will meet veterans of the Irish Guards and Mini Micks – junior cadets from Northern Ireland. The Princess will then join the official Officers’ and Sergeants’ Mess photographs.

After this, Her Royal Highness will visit the Junior Ranks' dining hall where the Senior Guardsman in the battalion will propose a toast to the Princess. She will then spend time meeting Guardsmen to hear about their roles and experiences within the Irish Guards.

Finally, the Princess will visit the Sergeants’ Mess to meet with members and their families.
