Finally read Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone #4 and
The Teen Comix “no fear meme” In the left panel, a cool figure wearing sunglasses wears a shirt that says “no fear.” A second figure approaches wearing a shirt that says, “Avar & Ty meet off-page prior to Trials of the Jedi, robbing us of a scene where Ty realizes Avar was the one in Elzar’s TRS merge memories.” In the final panel, the initial figure in sunglasses now wears a shirt that says “one fear.”

Stay with me for this one
A meme for your viewing pleasure. Top text reads, “The myth of ‘consensual’ sex.” Below, Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann say, “I consent” and Stellan Gios says, “I do too.” Bottom text reads “Isn’t there somebody you forgot to ask? Oh no, wait—sorry! Everything here looks good. [thumbs up emoji] Proceed. Have fun.”

Toured Buffalo city hall today and OH my gosh
“Talents Diversified - Find Vent in Myriad Forms,” a mural in the lobby of city hall in Buffalo, NY. Buffalo is depicted as a woman holding a bountiful harvest. Figures at her feet make offerings of cattails and planes, or labor in the industries of railroad or agriculture. A mural in Buffalo city hall. The angel of charity is seated, staring at the viewer as she hands out alms and bread for the poor and disabled. Another mural in Buffalo city hall. Entitled “Construction,” a figure is seated on a throne holding surveying and drafting tools. A figure in front of him steps over piles of bricks and lifts construction materials. To the right of the figure squats the architect of Buffalo city hall, John J. Wade, working on a model of the building. Two-story windows and stained glass skylight in Buffalo city hall’s common council chamber. The stained glass depicts the sun and 9 planets in art deco stylization. It is suspected to be Tiffany glass, but as of yet it is not confirmed.

There are Starlight Beacon cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see or whatever
An illustration from the first few pages of Brandon Sanderson’s Starsight. It depicts a floating space station that resembles a city skyline erupting from both sides of a central ocular disc. The caption reads “Starsight, Superiority Region C4 Governmental Seat.”

She’ll argue with anyone, but not the force 😌
“I only wanted one loml [emoji of a man with tan skin raising his hand] but if the force gives me 2, who am I to argue with the force???? [painting nails enoji] [lipstick kiss emoji]” Avar Kriss as drawn by @nataliabdraws on a plain green-teal background. She folds one arm to lean her head on her finger. She looks adorable with little sparkles by her face.

Since y’all are enjoying Orla’s freak mode, have some more food
Two comic panels. The first depicts Sskeer and Orla Jareni in conversation. Sskeer: We’ve met before. A LONG time ago. Orla: That’s one way of putting it. You’re looking handsome as ever, gwa culna. The second panel shows Cohmac Vitus and Keeve Trennis. Cohmac: You two haven’t changed. Still an explosive combination. Keeve: And one I REALLY don’t want to think about if I’m ever going to sleep again. Where’s Avar?

Firebrands
Three figures in various poses: gossiping as they sit on the floor, hugging and smooching one between the other two, one lying across the other two’s arms, and lounging on each others chests making silly hand gestures. Three figures labeled “Star,” “Sun,” and “Moon” holding hands and frolicking Three figures: the two on the ends stand with their arms crossed a look miserable. They are labeled “hurting but hiding it.” The one in the middle is smiling and bright-eyed. They are labeled “trying to help the two but is actually hurting the most and is hiding it.” Text under the figures reads “And all three would look out for one another” A meme that says “I don’t need a significant other… i need two.” Two figures holding hands and surrounded by pink hearts are crossed out with a big X; three figures holding hands are smiling and surrounded by pink hearts, free of any red X assault.
