Hey I have three questions about Hamilton that I didn’t get, totally cool if u don’t know I just don’t know who else would
1) why when I went to see it did they change the name in Your Obedient Servant from Weehawking or however you spell it to New Jersey??
2) why did first burn get cut out and switched for regular Burn I think it’s so much better but is there a reason?
3) what the hell ever happened to Peggy??
yooooo, i love these questions! i'll try to answer all of them (also i feel flattered you decided to ask me omg this is so nice):
1. so i did my research & the most important thing is: where did you see the show? cause apparently there were some small lyric changes in the uk & one of them was new jersey instead of weehawking, to quote lin: "the londoners thought it was we hawkin" (now why did this make me laugh lmao). also, weehawking is in new jersey so it makes sense.
2. i also think first burn is generally a better song, BUT i actually think the final version of burn works better in the show (that is just my opinion tho, you may disagree). the i see how you look at my sister is still shocking to me. first burn is more angry than sad, i kinda feel like it's just too contradictory to how eliza is portrayed in the show, if that makes sense. but hey, that's just my theory, i actually never found any official info coming from lin so we can only assume that was the reason.
3. she died. i think she wasn't really that important in the show so this is why lin didn't really find enough time to explain this, but the real peggy married rich & died young, at the age of 42 if i'm correct.

Profiles in Villainy
Blackwolf
In the wake of a world wide nuclear war, the humans who survived the apocalypse had been transformed into mutants who live in the dark lands of Scorch.  Whereas humanity's true ancestors, the fairies, elves and dwarves, have resurfaced and live in the idyllic land of Montagar.
While her people celebrate 3,000 years of peace, Delia, queen of the fairies, fell into a trance and gave birth to twin wizards: the kindhearted Avatar and his evil, mutated brother Blackwolf. After Delia's death years later, Blackwolf attempted to usurp her leadership, but Avatar defeated him in a magical duel. Blackwolf was banished from Montagar, vowing to return and conquer the realm in the name of the mutants.
Three thousand years later, Blackwolf had established himself as the tyrannical leader of  Scortch, where he raised a powerful army of mutants, orcs, goblins and trolls.  He began his campaign to push the borders of Scorch into the lands of  Montagar.  Furthermore, Blackwolf had discovered an ancient projector and reels of nazi propaganda footage from World War II.  He used this with his magic to generate an overwhelming form of psychological warfare, inspiring his own soldiers whilst horrifying enemy troops into submission.
Accompanied by the fairy, Elinore, and an elfin warrior named Weehawk, Avatar set off on a mission to sneak behind enemy lines and destroy Blackwolf’s secret weapon.  It does not go smoothly, but the heroes prevail and Blackwolf was killed.  The propaganda films were destroyed and the villain’s army, now leaderless, dispersed.  
Actor Steve Gravers provided the voice for Blackhearts, debuting in director Ralph Bakshi’s 1977 animated film, Wizards.

"I'm too old for this sort of thing. Just wake me up when the planet's destroyed."
I liked the part with the giant rat.
Wizards is a movie I'd like to enjoy more than I do. I'm a sucker for a post-apocalyptic setting, and the concept of the forces of magical good fighting technological evil has a lot of promise. However, much like the first time I saw it maybe fifteen years ago, I just found it underwhelming.
I really like a lot of the visuals, although there are so many differring styles of wildly varied quality that whether any given scene will look good is a total grab-bag. The roto-scoped battle segments are truly unforgettable, with their surprising brutality and striking style. I do question the choice to include Zulu warriors within the demon Nazi army, though it may simply have been a shortage of battle scene stock footage to paint over.
Avatar himself is easily the most fun and likeable part of the movie. He's a sarcastic, lecherous, cigar-puffing, Columbo-voiced wizard, who brings a Luger to a mage fight. What's not to love? That final confrontation between him and Blackwolf is certainly the best scene, and remains one of my favourites from any movie.
It's a shame then that the rest of Wizards is so messy. Weird pacing, bizarre tonal shifts, strange dialogue with stilted delivery, and a general difficulty in making sense of what's supposed to be happening, especially in the middle third. Oh yeah and what the hell was with Weehawk yelling "Slut!" at Elinore when he thought she had betrayed them?
As much as I love the concept, the movie itself is just... alright. That said, it's short and has some very interesting elements, so I do recommend seeing it.

i want your input on Your thoughts on RB Wizards too btw!!! but like. Jangles and shakes the jar of marbles in my brain about the "its okay to be a pacifist but when it comes down to it you BETTER stop fucking around and choose violence when violence is what needs to be done" moral + 'so in your face this implicitness is just in the text' antifascism while also not knowing what the fuck to make of whatever's going on with weehawk (anti-indigenous caricature??) and also miss titty boob fairy herself. In general bakshi has like NO license for the racism in his work really and I think he needs to be sat the hell down about it, like, huge elephant in the room to address for anything of his along with The Tits (though obvs the racism is more important LOL)
oh yeah absolutely. i think wizards especially (and the racism within it) really needs to be taken with the context of ralph’s full body of work and how he treats race / racial satire. i think he’s created some extremely incisive pieces of political and sociocultural satire (fritz the cat and heavy traffic come to mind, along with, obviously, wizards) that, while groundbreaking and thought provoking in their own right, also use racial caricature and racist imagery in ways that are honestly indefensible, regardless of the intention behind them. this is ESPECIALLY prevalent with the antiblack imagery in heavy traffic and coonskin. because, in the end, bakshi can claim to be “reclaiming” and satirizing minstrel imagery all he wants, but he’s still a nonblack and non-indigenous man (i believe he’s palestinian?) and having grown up in a black neighborhood really doesn’t give him license to use that as satire. like… at all. and that’s the excuse he uses the most often iirc
however! i’m a white guy so what do i know; i would really be interested in hearing from bipoc regarding ralph’s work and the racial themes within. re: wizards in specific, it’s especially interesting while being taken in the context of the clear, beating-you-over-the-head antifash message.
and then, of course, we could talk all day about how bakshi treats his female characters lmao. i mean. the man loves titty boob huge fuck

BALISONG SPOTLIGHT: EPS KNIVES 101
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I will admit, I've had one hell of a time with the 101. So, for a bit of a backstory, I got my first 101, a V1, in a trade last November. While I was admittedly terrified of it due to it being my first proper live blade, I couldn't get enough of it, and I ended up liking it so much that a few weeks ago, I went and bought a V2 directly from EPS themselves. Despite my personal V2 absolutely maiming my thumb when I first got it, I haven't been able to put it down, and much to the dismay of my wallet, I'm seriously considering buying the titanium version EPS is cooking when it comes out. TL;DR:
The Good: Spot on quality control, and a consistent flipping experience similar to a Kraken, but different enough to warrant owning both.
The Bad: Chaplins are slightly uncomfortable. V1s are slippery and lack handle jimping, and not everyone will like the V2's handle finish.
GENERAL INFO
Meant to be EPS's entry level knife, the 101 sits with other mid-range balisongs in terms of price, with both versions' live blades sitting at $245 USD, the V1 trainers sitting at $170 USD, and the V2 trainers sitting at $175 USD. At the time of writing this, both the V1 and the V2 can be purchased directly from EPS's website.
Tumblr media
The unboxing experience of the 101 is a bit more elaborate than similarly priced knives. When you get it, the box is kept closed magnetically, and the knife is tightly nestled in a foam cutout that's a perfect fit for it. The knife doesn't come with spare hardware, but with how good the tune was out of the box, there's not much of a reason to take it apart in the first place, so while it sucks it ultimately shouldn't matter that much (if, for whatever reason, you need spare hardware, it's best to ask EPS what the hardware dimensions are).
Tumblr media
Since this is a live blade, it'd be good to talk about the blade itself. For the blade steel on the 101, EPS uses D2, which is is a tried and true steel that's seen use in knives since the 1940s and can hold an edge well (although sharpening it can be a pain). The edge itself is so sharp it's almost frightening, and I had to learn this the hard way when it sliced through an artery and a few nerve endings in my thumb (i'm okay i swear). The only real downside of D2 is that it's more prone to rusting than other steels, but this can be mitigated by keeping a thin coat of oil on the blade at all times—it also isn't much of a concern if you don't live in a humid area like me, but do pay attention to the blade.
EPS markets this knife as a no-frills knife that a flipper can start and grow on, and it shows quite a bit in its design and construction, sporting a classic weehawk blade and simple channel construction handles with a faux-hole pattern and jimping if you buy a V2. It uses a bushing pivot system allowing for minimal handle play and the handles are made of 7075 aluminum, with the finish on them being a stonewash on the V1 and a heavy bead-blast on the V2 (more on this later). The tunes on both of my 101s have been spot on and are the best tuned knives I currently own, with perfect handle swing, no tap, and as close to zero handle play as you could ask for.
FLIPPING
With the 101 being a ~$250 USD channel aluminum live blade, it's obvious what it's competing with: the Squid Industries Krake Raken, which has been the community's gold standard for flipping since its debut in 2019. The question most will ask is: Does it compete with the Kraken?
If you ask me, I'd say yes.
Both knives have an ever so slight handle bias and even weight distribution, but the 101 has some small differences that make it different enough from a Kraken to warrant owning both:
Tumblr media
If you put a 101 and Kraken side-by-side, you might notice that their overall length is about the same, but the 101 goes for shorter and thinner handles in exchange for a longer blade. This extra blade weight makes the knife as a whole feel more "neutral" than on a Kraken (I hesitate to call it this because neutral is a very subjective term in this hobby), and it makes fanning unusually good for a weehawk blade.
The 101 is also lighter (~3.8 oz as opposed to the Kraken's ~4.3 oz), and its aforementioned balance makes for a very consistent flipping experience. It carries momentum well, has no problem with ricochets thanks to the weight, and despite the short, more rectangular handles, it doesn't have a problem with more technical tricks. As far as the flipping experience itself goes, my only criticism goes to the zen pin cups on the blade, which makes chaplins a bit uncomfortable, but it is something you can get used to.
If you get a V1, the stonewashed finish is soft to the touch and feels nice in the hand, but it suffers from the same general pitfall that aluminum has in the context of flipping, which is that it's unbearably slippery if your hands are sweaty or dry. The lack of anything to help with grip outside of the faux-hole pattern makes this all the more apparent, and the absence of jimping is noticeable during ladders, especially with its rectangular shaped handles.
Tumblr media
As for the V2, it's a similarly mixed bag. Two things were changed from the V1 to the V2, those changes being the addition of jimping and a different handle finish to help with grip. The former is an objective upgrade, but I want to focus on the latter because of how polarizing I know it'll be. I mentioned before that the V2 uses a very heavy bead-blast finish, and it is the most matte finish I have ever seen on any type of metal. It does help with grip (especially if you naturally have sweaty palms like I do), but it looks and feels like a chalkboard, and at this price point, a good chunk of flippers would rather throw themselves off of a cliff than touch that. I don't mean to knock those who like it, but I do want to warn you that if you dislike matte textures, the V2 is not for you.
As much as I love it, this is easily my biggest critique I have to give the 101. If I were to give feedback for EPS, it would be to offer different handle finishes for the V2 for the people that don't want a bead blast (if you ask me, a more subtle satin option would be nice); even though the more aggressive bead blast was done to improve grip, how it feels in the hand can change a person's opinion of it very quickly (one flipper told me it outright ruined the experience of the knife for him). Someone who wants to buy the knife shouldn't have to choose between not having jimping and going with a handle finish they dislike.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
I''m sorry if it seems like I've been waffling and giving this knife shit, because it really is one of my favorite balisongs at the moment. I personally like the finish on the V2, but as I said before, the finish is simply not for everyone. If EPS offered more handle finish options (kinda like how Krakens can be bought in either satin or matte finishes), this would be a much easier recommendation for me to make, but for now at least, if you like matte handle finishes or if you're fine without the jimping, this knife is something I think you'll like a lot.

As always there were lots of good suggestions. This one caught my eye because it was the #Bakshi film that led to me getting into the business - in a way. I saw this while in High school and it blew my mind. It wasn't too long afterwards (maybe a year later..?) that I was hired by #RalphBakshi to work on his next film. Here's this week's #FanRequestFriday - #PrincessElinore and #Weehawk from #Wizards. As always feel free to post your suggestions below for next #FRF - I'll post an official reminder on Friday as per usual #fanart @ralph_bakshi #commission #pencilart #pencildrawing #2danimation #2dart https://www.instagram.com/p/B88yoVHAqjv/?igshid=2mgy8pvnrdmk
