Hooray! More info about Cloud Hashira Mari ! + random info about her cause yes.
Mentioned in a previous post, she defeated a lower moon! Specifically, a lower moon 4!
Mari was sent in a mission with a few slayers, their mission was just to slay a few demons that were in a nearby village, although what they didn't expect is a lower moon being there. The slayers she was accompanied by were either too busy handling the other demons or heavily injured so she was left alone to take care of the demon. She was able to defeat the lower moon, by unintentionally making a new breathing form..
A hashira was called after realizing there was a lower moon, though by the time the hashira arrived, Mari already defeated the demon...
Mari decides to change her uh... ribbon shoes thing? to blue to match with her haori hue color
Her haori is soft to the touch, and can be a good pillow if you fold it
After defeating the lower moon, she went to another coma, this time for a week..
I cant draw FEET.
Her back thingy thing thing thing...
Mari still lives with her sister. Though they live in the cloud estate this time. Her sister does go back and forth in living in her late-mentor's estate and Mari's.
Her estate has a nearby field of flowers. She often goes there when she's free.
Mari often forgets she's a hashira now, so she gets confused when other slayers and kakushis become intimidated or handle her with respect.
Her hobby is stargazing. She usually does it with her sister, her cousins or Muichiro!
She still has the habit of getting distracted, resulting in her getting lost. Her crow is there to keep her in track!
What does Mari think of the other hashiras?
Giyu: "I'm a little scared of him... but he isn't even doing much..." (Neutral/Leaning to dislike)
Shinobu: "She's so pretty! I love her gentle voice. I'm fascinated with her way to kill demons." (Like)
Kyojuro: "He's very loud. I try to match his energy! He's like an older brother to me." (Like)
Obanai: "Never talked to him much..." (Neutral)
Mitsuri: "She's so awesome! I love her vibrant hair! Often, I would eat with her! Kanroji-san is such a sweetheart!" (Like/Admire)
Sanemi: "I'm scared of him. He has this scary looking face, and if looks could kill me, I would die by him..." (Fear/Dislike)
Tengen: "Shiny accessories, I might get blinded by those... He is super cool! And his wives are sweet!" (Like)
Gyomei: "I was intimidated by him at first, but after a bit, I got along with him! He and I love cats!" (Like)
Muichiro: "We're pretty close, somewhat. He does talk to me quite more than the other hashiras. He's quite an airhead... I do hope that maybe, he'll remember me..." (Like? Maybe even more???)
------------------------------
Here's her sword, her hilt and uh this thingy!
Mari isn't actually the first person to know cloud breathing, although she taught herself to do that breathing...
One of the forms are made by her, however it's a pretty difficult form...
Cloud breathing is more effective with her due to her height (aHA- SHORTASS)
It's heard that she learned this breathing through a dream... or an inherited memory perhaps??
Some slayers reported that everytime she slices a demon's head, it leaves a vanilla scent... Wow I wonder why.
She sprayed vanilla perfume cause the demon she fought before had a very horrible smell and she just..does it on a daily basis now. It's worrying.
Taisho era secret:
Mari is sometimes seen petty and immature when fighting demons, especially if they are giving her a difficult time. She sticks out her tongue when she successfully beheads the demon...

FOOL MASK (GITM BY @venomous-qwille)
Handbuilt porcelain with slip, overglaze, glaze, and gold lustre accents. Paint and lacquer detailing added post fire. Handsewn fool's cap and bells added post fire.
This mask is a part of a (loosely connected) mask series, all hand-built and fired using a range of different temperatures and techniques.
My favourite mask to date, Fool from Ghost in the Machine by the wonderful @venomous-qwille !! GITM is absolutely incredible and I cannot put into words eloquently how much I adore it and Fool so instead I made this mask! Hi!
My word was this mask a struggle to make. The mask itself is entirely one piece, and entirely porcelain!! That's right, those long thin rays are solid porcelain!! The eyes and tips of the blades are done in 22 carat gold lustre. All colouring save for the black and the satin sections of darker red on the face were done with only slips and underglazes. The red colour was correct without the paint, but I thought a contrast from the rest of the gloss would look nice :)
Made to scale, the mask measures 50.8x60.96cm without the hat, and 50.8x116.84cm with it! (20x24in without hat, 20x46in including hat). He is Large, but turned out absolutely lovely and I send my many many thanks to the kiln gods for producing him unscathed.
(naku & wall for scale)
(he's so big guys i have large walls (the top of my head is only slightly above the top of the bookcase beneath him) look at him at the wall it's nuts)

Hey I know your clown days are behind you and everything, but I'm still curious if you've got any opinions on The Amazing Digital Circus?
same thing everyone else does i suppose, that its fun and well made.
to be additive to the discussion instead of just saying positive stuff you've already heard, i'll levy a little critique against it, bearing in mind that i do so with positive, constructive intent.
i feel as though in recent times we've been oversaturated with stories and media with too grand a focus on the characters instead of interesting concepts. i think that the character design in the amazing digital circus is colorful and neat, but in the past 3 years how many "it's cutesy looking, but it's actually about existential terror and the cute characters go through trauma, oh no!" gimmicks have you seen in stories? personally ive seen quite a few.
i feel as though creatives are pushed too much to make a marketable face first and foremost, because lingering eyes are in high demand for artwork online these days. if someone is going to move on quick, which is going to be the case with the majority of people, it's much more likely that someone will find it easier to remember a cool design for a character instead of an entire unique sequence of events. that means story-driven things are either made to be more shallow to give more space for character moments, or have a much smaller chance for having their work succeed.
i do not think this is indicative of some mass decline in creative originality, or even the fault of the creatives who make the work. like i said, i thought it was a lot of fun and gave it a small positive review on twitter a few days ago. Gooseworx, as well as the rest of the team who made it, clearly cared for this project. what im talking about is a symptom of the larger issue that is the black-box algorithms that have desolated social networks, and create bad media consumption habits in people. though i wont lie to you and say i havent grown to resent the symptom too.
so to answer your question more succinctly, i dont really think of it that much at all. ive seen this one already.
