When The Wind Is Slow, And The Fire's Hot

When the wind is slow, and the fire's hot

The vulture waits to see what rots

Oh how pretty, all the scenery

This is nature's sacrifice

Finally, finally after forever, the next part of FTGFTF is done. Sorry if the pacing is a bit janky, I may go back and fix it up, but I hope you enjoy the long-awaited Atlas fight and I hope it delivers. Put a lot of work into the actual fight itself.

Shout out to @dumpsterfirepropaganda for keeping me going and hyping this one up, and to @copper-sands , who despite knowing nothing about MMZX, has still been cheering me on!

【ROCKET!】

idk. Made me laugh. Rocket grunt trio of baddies that could very well defeat any opponent, but are too polite and stupid to do anything close to evil. They just accidentally end up saving the day every time.

Tip me!

Here’s a lil treat for you fellers. This is a 9 page Proof of Concept mini for a comic of mine called “From Hell’s Heart”.

I’ve got some art of the characters on tumblr already, but this is the general gist of the story; it’s about a “Western” comic supervillain who goes undercover to try to steal the powers of a group of magical girls, only to unintentionally fall in love with one of them.

I’m still working out the details in the script of the full version of this story; it’s a little trickier than you’d think.  The main points I’m trying to make are mostly about how a fresh start with new people isn’t a free pass. If you keep acting like a villain you’ll be stuck as one forever! I’m also taking dramatic steps to keep this from being a “Mean guy meets manic pixie dream girl, his life is fixed” story.  I’m sick of those. You gotta fix your own life if you wanna be happy! Grow up Lord Helldeath!!

THE DREAM MASTER

He comes within the night, in corners of darkened rooms

A shadow in your sleep, above your mind he looms -

You scream in the night, terror and fright

The Dream Master takes you away

A landscape of horrors, he himself is the worst

Awaken or his prisoner you’ll stay.

You smile in the night, joy and delight

The Dream Master takes you away

A fitful sleep he provides, your guardian he resides

Awaken to the brightness of day.

Sweet dreams or worst terrors?

What will he bring?

He is the only one who knows.

He forever lurks in your mind

In brightest light

And darkest shadow.

Rough poetry drabble/in-universe lore for an OC of mine (that I know @copper-sands quite likes :) ) known as the Dream Master.

He's essentially the Personification of Dreams and he can either be friend or foe - on what it depends, no-one knows. Dude always looks a little bit shadowy at the edges, slightly "off," and only those with sleep paralysis can see what he truly looks like.

And for reference, he's this dude:

With very clear influence from Bret of Blue Stahli.

You can really tell a lot about someone from which piece of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle media is their favourite and which turtle is their favourite from said media.

I own one of these mugs and honestly it's my favourite thing, the "It's safe, probably," never fails to crack me up.

Also 100% reading this in Bret's voice.

love love LOVE Bret's merch descriptions. also love me some Butterfly Tourism Board stuff.
