A couple drawings I did over the past few days, the two Jonah ones were made primarily in response to getting selected for the 2023 Jonah Brawl on Twitter. I did lovely little Collab with my opponent Ani, creator of Blankdela, (@ComyetAni on Twitter) and had a really cool time, go give them a follow or something if you can!!

Aside from pure HtH!Jonah brainrot, I’ve been thinking about HtH!Mark again and writing him some more since I’ve been neglecting him in favor of the BPS crew this past while, so I’m making up for it now a little.

Anyway, thanks for reading and enjoy ig.

Au. Everything happens the same, except azula is just pretending the whole time. Azula as a kid her true personality is cold, distant, loves being alone, hates people, hates talking to people, loves being in the background/dark not in spotlight,. Knows how to control her emotions. Have rebellion to ozai by training in secret, fire bending, lightning, meditation, hth combat, martial arts, combat, acrobatics, chi, swordmanship, knives throwing, aim, weaponry/weapons, stealth, poison, physical strength, assassin, ninja, lock picking, speed, stamina, athletic, endurance, balance, agility, range, flexibility, mobility etc.. studied learned scroll after scroll after scroll about everything, be it new or old, forgotten or abandoned, dark or dangerous, forbidden or illegal or legal, other element or nation... Also have flame temp. Of 6000 Celsius, and made her own flame immune to herself, and have flame resistance of 3500 Celsius (her flame is soooo Bright).. knows that the source of fire is breath, the true meaning of fire is life. (Back to present) On the ending azula finally challenge ozai, not in agni Kai (azula doesn't care about his pride or honor)(fight like how aang vs ozai out of the field) and wins without even breaking a sweat, of course the gaang + ty lee Mai arrived and saw the whole thing, speechless, iroh (corrupt) said azula needs to go down, both fight, azula wins. Gaang + ty lee n Mai, stunned, just watched azula fights and defeat the 2 strongest fire benders they knew without breaking a sweat, not even look tired, made the 2 (ozai n iroh) in the verge of death by how long, brutal she fights them, giving them a living hell. Gaang + ty lee n Mai now knows the truth (azula true persona) azula gives the crown to zuko, doesn't care about it nor the responsibilities of it, just want to be alone. But they are still jaw drop.... Maizula, tyzula, azutara.. (azula IS toe to toe with fully realize avatar)

I was actually thinking of only giving a short one of this, but then I think, why not just give the whole one why cut it? So yes this is it.

Hello, @lala1-ann-11 !!! (Thanks for the second ask)

1. When Azula is a child, she overhears her father and mother arguing one night. The child, only about 4 or 5, had gone to her parents for a bedtime story and instead hears them talking about how much of a monster she is and Ozai flagrantly calling her a weapon. Azula’s love and care for her parents is broken then and she runs off back to her room. That’s also the day she decides to put up a performance for her parents. She pretends to like being a princess, to like galas and dinners and enjoy when Mai and Ty Lee come over. That’s not to say she hates them or her brother but she prefers to be alone. During one of her birthdays, Zuko’s gift was a whole day to herself (best gift ever). On top of this, Azula starts training in every skill known to man. Her life is spent either training or keeping up the act. For years and years, her parents know her as a mischievous, firebending prodigy princess which could not be further from her true personality. Only Mai and Ty Lee really know Azula (and Zuko but he doesn’t know the extent of how much she trained just that she prefers to be alone and is pretty distant). Mai, surprising no one, is the perfect friend to Azula. They sometimes just sit in the same room, silently doing other activities. Ursa says it’s a little weird but they’re the best play dates as far as Azula’s concerned.

2. When Ozai tries to leave without her, Azula finally lashes out. She is very distant from him here, not really being his perfect puppet, but she’s still human and still angry that he would abandon her after she did everything for him. Ozai believes she wants to challenge him to an Agni Kai…that’s not exactly Azula’s plan. (*Fire Sages watching Azula and Ozai fly around with Ozai running away from Azula throwing blue fire and lightning at him* Fire Sage: Should we stop this or…. Fire Sage: You want to be the one to try and get the Princess to stop? Fire Sage: Nevermind. Ozai: Azula! What has gotten into you!?! Azula: DIE!!!) Azula chases him around until he tires himself out before she beats the stuffing out of him. With him defeated, Azula makes her way to the palace where Zuko and Katara are. She just throws Ozai at them (barely conscious) and says she’s going to her room and to get her when the others arrive.

3. Everyone returns and, obviously, they want to know what happened and what this means. Did Azula betray Ozai? Is she on their side? Did she just do it to get power? What’s going on? Azula lets them tell her questions at them before saying that she did it because Ozai pissed her off and she wanted him quiet. Iroh doesn’t believe her. He argues that she did what she did because she wanted power and so she had to be stopped. Azula rolls her eyes at his accusations and tries to once again say she doesn’t want power or the crown. Iroh, again, doesn’t believe her and attacks her. Easily, Azula evades his attempts to capture her and fights back. Iroh is more of a challenge for Azula because he does know more moves than her (experience and real world influence does beat her learning from books). However, she’s a lot smaller than him and faster. It takes her longer than her fight with Ozai but she defeats Iroh all the same. (Azula: For the third time, I don’t want the crown. Zuzu can have it. I just want to be left alone. The Gaang:….Mai:….Ty Lee:…Mai, internally: That’s hot). When Azula gets ready leave the palace two weeks later, Mai decides to go with her. (Azula: I like to be alone. Mai: Me too. Azula: I’m not going to be very affectionate or warm or want to go out every day- Mai: You’ve convinced me. Azula: And I’m going to want to stay inside and not really cuddle or- Mai: Already planning what I need to bring).

4. Azula and Mai head to the Earth Kingdom to start. The two have a feeling they aren’t welcome in Omashu or Ba Sing Se so they decide to go from Earth Kingdom town to town. Azula spends the time observing earthbenders and learning more about firebending, waterbending and airbending and how she can use different moves in her own style. Mai takes the time to perfect her skills and does chat with the locals to get to know more. In terms of Maizula, they start to become a bit closer and closer as time goes on. Azula doesn’t change completely but she does change her opinion on cuddling. (Mai: Azula, I thought you wanted to spend the morning alone. Azula, nuzzling into Mai’s neck: No. Stay and sleep. Mai: What happened to no cuddles? Azula: 🥺 Mai: You’re an idiot)

5. Azula and Mai eventually return to the palace ten years later (Azula is 24, Mai is 26). They spend the week in the palace, together, officially declaring that they got married a couple years ago. Zuko holds a gala for them (which they don’t have to go to) and congratulates them on their wedding and marriage. Azula and Mai are upstairs and Mai goes to Azula and asks if she wants to talk to Ozai. Azula has really no clue what she would say but she does believe that she should go down there. She and Mai head down to the dungeon where Azula gets the chance to confront Ozai and finally tell him how much he attempted to ruin her life. (Azula: But I am so much better off now than I ever was with you. Ozai: You’re not princess, you’re not ruling- Azula: I’m happy. I have a wife who loves me and respects me and doesn’t try to change me. Goodbye, Ozai. This will be the last time I speak to you. Ozai: Azula! AZULA! Do not walk away from me! Get back here, you little brat! *Mai sends a knife that pins Ozai to the wall* Mai: Never insult my wife again)

Re: the High Wizardry cover you reblogged earlier — do you remember who the artist was for that series? They’re the ones I grew up with and have a lot of nostalgia for!

That's the multiply-award-winning Greg Swearingen, who did all the covers for the Young Wizards digest editions in the mid '90s. (Just to clarify: these were a larger-format edition containing the books' full texts, not condensed or abridged in any way.)

The wraparound cover for the 25th anniversary edition hardcover and paperback of So You Want To Be A Wizard:

...Deep Wizardry (for which he won a Spectrum Award that year):

...The High Wizardry cover, which we've seen:

...A Wizard Abroad:

The art for The Wizard's Dilemma:

...and for A Wizard Alone.

...That's where the digest series stops. The publisher felt that the books that followed were slightly darker / more mature, and therefore that the hardcover and mass market paperback formats that our artist Cliff Nielsen had been doing were more appropriate for them. It's a pity: I'd have been glad to have more covers by Greg.

(BTW, we still have copies of some of these available at Signed Books Direct, if anyone's looking. We're in the process of reorganizing our inventory at the moment, so anyone interested should drop the store a note and inquire about what they're interested in.)

HTH!

This feels a little bit cheeky, but you're probably the best-qualified person I have any idea how to get in touch with. Do you have any advice for displaying swords? I'm having my room redecorated and I don't really want to just screw a bunch of hooks into the newly-repainted walls. (I have six, ranging in size from a ~5ft two-handed thing to a small gladius.) Thanks in advance!

How about a floor (or counter / table / sideboard) stand? Like any display rack, make sure its uprights are close enough together to take short stuff like a gladius; bigger swords will be no problem.

Martial arts stores are usually a good place to examine these things IRL, however in the meanwhile here are a couple of examples sourced from this Sword Encyclopedia article.

Here's one from Kult of Athena:

This one is from Reliks:

Most of the racks in those pics are 4-sword and 8-sword; for six swords, you could park something else in the spare slots; a Kingsman-style brolly, for example (not guaranteed bulletproof)...

Or a walking stick that just happens to be a real Irish fighting shillelagh.

Or an umbrella combining the best of both worlds - this one is a "solid stick", which means exactly what it says:

The umbrella mechanism is mounted onto, not in, the stick, giving considerable sturdiness when fending off... Really heavy rain, yes, that's it. And there's no need whatsoever to sharpen the ferrule; a good half-sword grip is more than enough for... Downpours.

Alternately you could get two 3-slot racks, for opposite sides of the room, perhaps?

There's also this sixer from Amazon which, if you're non-Zon, a bit of research might find elsewhere.

Finally if you're up for a bit of carpentry and wood-staining, you could make and fit home-made floor / table feet to a wall rack; several look well suited to this.

HTH!

music i heard in february 2023 that was somewhat notable

(for the amount of effort put into lyrics i really ought to listen to them someday)

sparse guitar harmonics and soft vocals that combine to create a perfectly serene atmosphere. this is also endlessly curious to hear given the prior epic collage/modern classical works of the artist, yet i find their recent ambient pop turn equally as engaging.

the more I've listened to music the more I think it's occurred to me that I have a particularly soft spot these kinds of soundscape like tracks, often with few parts to them and lots of repetition, but ultimately an interesting slow and gradual evolution of the sounds. a pleasant track to calm down and reflect with after a long day.

solid progressive house with clean production and some nice vocal flourishes that remind me of tropical house for whatever reason. Not to mention a dense trance interlude halfway through and some really beautiful cover art. (i really want to see if they do any full on trance stuff)

broadly this is only a really good HtH song, but whenever the brass cuts out and the strings come in it immediately become one of my faves. … and then suffa comes in and i no longer like the song.

a chaotic melting pot of various famous and catchy samples alongside great production chops and lots of distortion combine to form some of the most fun, and overall some of my favourite dariacore thus far.

The music of the original i think is quite good, however the production was never to my taste. This on the other hand fits my preference much more (though the production isn't fully there), and I feel somehow that even with its high energy dance sound, it almost fits both Chrysalis's character and the episode's story better than the original.

The former as it signifies her and the changeling's general alien'ness/unloving nature in comparison to the ponies culture and their classical/folk/pop sound. The latter because the relentlessness of the beat emphasises how tense and dire the situation is, with the little breaks between sections/the drumfill that start the new sections almost give the ponies some hope before it being swiftly ripped away from them every time.

Heed the Herder AU Mark Posting :P

‼️ CW: Blood, body horror, and eye contact ‼️

Been awhile since I’ve drawn HtH!Mark so I decided to change that this weekend. Anyway here’s a Shitpost I put too much effort into, a gif showing how his eyes work, and a drawing including him and a Cesar from @kinghermitcrab ’s Distant Accusations AU

Anyway enjoy, apologies for the paragraph lol

:

:

:

The only lore I could come up with for the shitpost existing is that Mark doesn’t know Null is still around and is really confused as to why someone is writing 2017 art commentary channel level rants in his personal journal

Also, the reason why there is a reverb sound applied over the audio is because Mark is mute in this AU, and this is a sort of internal dialogue situation jsyk

i had art i wanted to finish today OR AT LEAST tomorrow for Halfway To Halloween but it looks like i will not get that chance, so have my sentiment instead.

i love halloween with my entire being and i am so fucking upset right now. i wish i could participate in HTH festivities, especially after not being able to participate in my last highschool costume contest (it was A Thing at my school and i couldnt decide on a costume to make and ran out of time and ended up with nothing and everyone else decided to actually put in effort that year UGH)

instead i will watch Jade The Libra and Halloween Happy bc they both posted their HTH decorating videos. i will sit next to my halloween throw pillows and just call it a fucking Night because clearly im Having A Moment.

apologies for broadcasting my breakdown tonight, but also im not really sorry.. exciting things to come?
