You're Gonna Go Far, Kid

This was very heavily inspired by Nightcore thumbnails. They're just so aesthetic and fire. It was gonna be a nighttime background, but I realised that one of my other TEASS WIPs has a very similar background by coincidence, so I changed it to be sundown. Plus, all my recent stuff has been so blue-toned, this shakes things up! XP

Extras:

Chibi Saturn for your troubles :>

Speedpaint:

I usually don't draw Saturn's knee guards, despite the fact that I never forget them. This is just because either the angle is too odd or because I like the leg I drew and don't wanna cover it.

Song:

Spotify fails me once again, but I also like the original song and have it on my playlist, so its a win win 😛

Sidenote, this is the original video I watched as a kid, but it's not the original uploader, I can't find their channel. I swear this was the most popular Nightcore version of this song, however if you look it up on Youtube today you'll find this other version which is more popular (I prefer the one I chose, but it could just be nostalgia talking)

I also chose this song specifically because it fits Saturn's storyline so far. I was almost gonna call the piece "Angel Of Darkness" tho. (You can even see it in the speedpaint!)

Thinking back to when Moon sacrificed himself to let KC live and it’s like

No Moon, you can NOT kill yourself to avoid being nice to your brother.

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)

I rewatched Zuko and Azula's Agni Kai recently and it's left me wondering – when Zuko begins to goad Azula into striking him with lightning, was he making the decision to kill her?

Because had Azula shot lightning directly at him like he planned and not at Katara, the most forthright implication to me is that he was intending to strike Azula with her own lightning. And Azula, for all her mastery, would not have been able to counter that.

On the other hand, maybe he wasn't planning to kill her at all and was simply planning to redirect it elsewhere (similar to what he did with Ozai). But given the tone of tragedy throughout the Agni Kai, the fact that they both acknowledge that this fight will be "the end" to them, I don't think it's inaccurate to read Zuko's actions as him preparing to kill Azula, even though an Agni Kai doesn't have to end with death (and in canon it didn't). Also, why goad her into striking him with lightning if he wasn't planning on doing something intentional with it? If anything, it adds another layer to the tragedy to me, because I don't believe Zuko wants to kill her. And it stands in such contrast to the way that Azula desperately wants to kill him.

I also think that there would have even been something sadly poetic in that sort of demise for Azula should the Agni Kai had gone this direction: Azula, struck down by her preferred sub-skill. Azula, struck down by the very bolt of lightning that she intended to kill her brother with. Azula, struck down by her own power.
