Duel
A scene from in the VIP pit of a Lancer mech duel in the Grand Arena of Throne Karrakis. Colorful pennants sway in the breeze high above the stadium. Huge shades that look like translucent petals shade the spectators, seated in the sandy white gallery stands. The architecture flows and curves rather than being rectilinear or purely circular. Pointed archways from the main arcade level. Ornate fluorescent light chandeliers light up the shaded stands. On the Field, a massive black Lancer frame lunges forward with a black broadsword, boosted forward with back-mounted rockets. A red ponytail flows from its helm. Parrying the blow in a shower of sparks is a sage green Lancer frame with a curved scimitar-like sword. It pirouettes on digitigrade legs, its blue cape tails swirling in the arena dust. It is adorned with golden filigree. In the pit, two factions face off, each representing their frame in demeanor and attire. On the left, matched with the black knight mecha, a cadre of nobles (perhaps from the House of Stone), all in black and red and metal and furs, stand haughtily. The main one raises her whiskey glass in smug superiority. She has dark skin and an undercut hairstyle of red hair. Next to her is an older man, bald and bearded, with dark skin and a grumpy expression. On the right, representing perhaps the House of Glass, a rakish young noble lifts his wine glass in mocking salute. He has twin swords on his belt and an orange cape. Next to him is a beautiful noblewoman in a dress covered in rose-like flowers. a chain veil covers her face. Behind them, vidscreens show alternate angles of the mech duel, including shots from the cockpits of each frame, showing the determination and effort of each Lancer that pilots them.

HESTER ANGUISH, a Scholomancer, currently stuck serving as acting Sheriff for the Treeliner town of Bailiehollow. A prominent NPC for a new home game with my fiance, running a playtest for a game system I’ve been working on for the last few years.
A bust of HESTER ANGUISH, portraying her from the shoulders-up. Her most prominent feature is her metal mask, which covers her head from the back of her skull all the way down to the underside of her chin. The features of the mask are simplistic and indistinct, with a rough approximation of the brow, cheekbones, and jawline. The apertures for Hester’s eyes and mouth are blocky and rectangular. Overall, with her chin lowered and face half-turned to the viewer, it gives her a very ominous appearance. Although there are a few scratches, the helmet has obviously been well taken care of. A hinge and seam near the temple implies that a clasp at the back keeps the helmet in place. Her eyes, visible through the eyeholes in the mask, are a bright, fiery amber. Her straw-blonde hair, which is not nearly as well-kept as the helmet, is pulled into a messy ponytail. The skin visible beneath the mask – mostly, her right ear and neck – is quite pale; her ear and the front of her throat show that at some point in the past she was badly burned. The scars are old, but extensive. She is wearing her Fog Crawler, a large Scholomancer’s overcoat made by enchanting an antique longcoat which originally came from the World-That-Was. The dark olive coat looks like military surplus and here is buttoned all the way up, showing refurbished gold buttons, red trim, and a red interior collar. A full-body image of Hester. In this image, she wears a salamander-orange pinafore over a cream-colored long-sleeve shirt. The shirt has two large, bright green buttons on a soft, light-colored leather collar, and smaller green buttons at the sleeve. She wears dark leather work gloves which have become slightly sun-bleached on top with age and wear. Her belt matches her gloves; it is quite sturdy-looking, has multiple large pouches, an empty glass vial, and has a design that looks custom-made for the uses of a Scholomancer such as Hester. Her knee-high riding boots are also well-used, though the top of them are not visible beneath the hem of her pinafore. Her posture is relaxed, though a hand hovers by her belt, as if she is ready to grab something off of it. From this angle, her mask gives her a slightly less menacing expression, though it’s hard to tell if the expression under the mask is any different. Hester’s two weapons of choice – it is unusual for a Scholomancer to carry one firearm, let alone two, but they are carefully maintained. The gun on top is a sawn-off break-action shotgun with a single barrel; it is plated in a pale metal, like nickel, and has obviously seen a lot of use – the metal is covered in wear marks and scratches. The handle and fore grip, modified with anchors for a shoulder strap, are made from a wood similar to walnut, with a distinct grain and a warmish-brown tone. The handle looks to be made from a burl, and has much more distinctive and complex patterning. It also has a device attached to the left side which is modeled on the Alofs Repeating Shotgun System (basically, an external bolt-on tube magazine which automatically reloads the shotgun whenever the gun is opened to reload. It’s super cool, look it up!). The lever that breaks open the shotgun has a stylized ‘G’ on it. The second gun is Hester’s trusty Fizroy Raider, modeled after a World War I-era Webley top-break revolver. It’s a newer gun with much less wear on it. It is plated in a dark metal, and the grip is made of Hemacite – a special Bakelite-esque plastic substance made using Monster Blood, and so having a distinctive deep red, cloudy coloration. There is a lanyard ring affixed to the bottom of the handle. A closer view of the details of Hester’s upper body. Because she is facing the other way from the bust, we can see that the scarring on her throat wraps all the way around the front of her neck, but on this side it goes up to her jaw – her left ear is un-burned, and she wears a small earring.

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

We’re doing everything we can, but it’s really beyond our ability right now.

We’re hoping to raise £200 to buy essential winter items.

Say, did I ever post these guys here? I don’t think I did…
ANOTHER EARTH, File 002 – THE JOKER Three busts of The Joker from an alternate DC universe fan project. His clothing is inspired by the Cesar Romero iteration, with a vibrant violet jacket and a deep green shirt and tie which feature a subtle paisley print. His features are exaggerated in a way which seems reminiscent of the DCAU Joker, with some Jack Nicholson thrown in for good measure, but his shoulders are broad and thuggish. He has a golden tooth, a green tongue, and his eyes look sickly and pink. The tone of his skin is also off-white with a slight green tint, implying that his blood may be green. Text on the image reads: CHEMICAL BATH: • Bleached his skin • Toxified his blood • Skin and muscle became more elastic • Slowed physical aging The “Joker Venom” toxin uses his own blood – and requires an undiluted sample for the antidote. A picture of The Joker from the previous image. He has a smug smile and is dressed as a lounge lizard, leaning on a gold-tipped cane and swirling a beverage in a martini glass that is noxious green, bubbling, and smoking. Naturally, it has an olive in it. He wears a light purple tuxedo jacket, dark purple-grey slacks and gloves, black dress shoes with spats, and a pale green tuxedo shirt with purple bow tie. Text on the image reads: Though he has an outfit he favors, he will dress to ‘fit the occasion’ – depends heavily on the person or place he is menacing. Another picture of the Joker, in a third variant outfit. He is laughing maniacally with his head thrown back, holding a golf club which has been bent as if by hitting something (or someone). He bounces a small ball in his other hand which is about the size of a golf ball, patterned like a smiley face. Noxious green fume comes out of the gaps between the teeth. A golf tee is between his feet. He is wearing a much more modern outfit, similar to Steve Jobs – an almost-black purple turtleneck sweater and matching pants, with a teal vest that has a faint pink floral print. His shoes are hot magenta alligator-skin wingtips, and his socks are bright green. Text on the image reads: DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE. • Despite appearances and behaviors to the contrary, he isn’t as chaotic as his reputation would have you believe. • Incredibly clever. Brilliant chemist. But, at this point, most of his tactical know-how is experiential. He struggles against anyone that isn’t Batman (or adjacent). This last image is another picture of The Joker in his tuxedo outfit, with a smarmy facial expression, tapping his temple similar to the Eddie Murphy head tap meme.

🔥 from @theradr.bsky.social here, commenting on the rabbis who wrote the anti-Mamdani letter.

Yes, it's a choice to hope that Cuomo (a serial sexual abuser!) beats Mamdani!!!!
Ruttenberg said she sees something different in that lightning. “If we think that magically defeating Mamdani will somehow return us to the way things used to be,” she said, “that is not what is going to be the outcome.” She also questioned the moral calculus behind the opposition’s preferred candidate. “If we want to talk about Torah values,” she said, “Cuomo is a serial sexual abuser who spent $20 million of taxpayer money paying for his defense. In what way do my colleagues think this is any representation of either pragmatic or ethical values?”

Harrow County was one of the horror books I kept well-stocked when I worked at a comic store, specifically because of how easily and how often I converted non-comic horror readers, using it as an example. It is an all-timer, and one of the rare horror comics to successfully jump-scare me

Since PinkNews is run by a transphobic bad actor and has a habit of sloppy, sensationalist bullshit, I feel like I should clarify: he wants a complete withdrawal of federal funding for facilities that provide gender-affirming care. That's devastating, but different from a ban of that care in law

My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you.
