Guilty Gear 2 -Overture- Material Collection

These scans kinda suck but the previous upload we had of these files were missing pages or they were cropped or in the wrong order or whatever, so here's that Amazon print-on-demand paperback in all its glossy glory.

The big illustrations were by Daisuke Ishiwatari but note that some of the concept sketches and all of the 3D modeling were done by other staff members, most notably Junya C. Motomura. Most pages have design commentary by both Ishiwatari and Motomura, though no one's translated all/any of it yet.

I love how much Lucullus can't stand Pompey, and also this

Pompey the Great: A Political Biography, Robin Seager

with something from this thrown in for extra flavor

Crassus and Pompey, on the other hand, ridiculed Lucullus for giving himself up to pleasure and extravagance, as if a luxurious life were not even more unsuitable to men of his years than political and military activities.

Plutarch, Lucullus

this fandom pairs gavin and the rk900 dude like theres no tomorrow, which is lovely, follow ur bliss, happy for you. i want that same energy for north and kara. they are sampling from parallel water wells, they are running on similar batshit frequencies. north like 'what if we blow their ass up' (iconic of her) and kara like 'i'll run straight into high-velocity traffic man i'll fucking do it' (and then she did it) like these two women. repeatedly exposed to apathy, violence, cruelty. repeatedly wiped of their memories to keep them passive in the face of constant abuse. what if they met and held hands and raised alice to be their madmax pipe-bomb slinging baby . anyone.

A Legacy in Silk: The History of Pure Handloom Silk Sarees

When we think of timeless clothing items in Indian fashion, few can match the feel of a pure handloom silk saree. Among the varieties of sarees, pure handloom silk sarees are special. These exquisite sarees are the best of luxury and tradition, popularly known for their unmatched shine and softness. These beautiful pieces have adorned women for centuries, threading tradition, craftsmanship, and history into a tapestry of art.

The Origin of Handloom Silk Sarees 

The story of the handloom silk saree is almost as old as the fabric itself. Dating back over 5,000 years, silk weaving in India is rooted in the Indus Valley civilization. Legend has it that China kept the cultivation of silkworms for silk production a secret for over 1,000 years before it made its way to India. 

As silk production techniques spread across India, each region developed its styles and varieties. From the regal Kancheepuram silks of Tamil Nadu to the light Chanderi silks of Madhya Pradesh, every handloom silk saree tells a story of its origin and the skilled artisans who bring it to life. This diversity extends to various silk materials, including Mulberry silk, Tussar silk, and silk cotton materials.

Moreover, pure handloom silk sarees are often associated with different regions throughout India and their unique weaving traditions. For instance, the Banarasi silk sarees from Varanasi are known for their gold and silver brocade, while Mysore silk sarees are celebrated for their lightweight feel and subtle sheen.

This is just me throwing spaghetti at the wall, but are there any Kingdom Hearts artists that would be interested in doing something like a sticker rally to raise funds for aid work in Palestine?

I don't have any first-hand experience with physical goods, but I was thinking stickers are low-cost enough that they'd been the most efficient thing to offer and designs could be continually added over time from many different contributors. I've been trying to come up with something I could do with what little time and resources I have, and now the idea is at a point where I simply have to shout it into the void to see if anything echoes back.
