okay where are the henchwomen

[apisashla]

Genuinely with how much we've memed feminine versions of masculine archetypes into existence I should be seeing so many more henchwomen at all times (that aren't goblins or some shit.) Girlbossness is not sufficient. The corporate environment does not provide adequate enrichment for evil women. She needs to kill people, directly, and look silly as hell doing it

You, almost exclusively among the many many many comments on this post suggesting examples of hypercompetent (usually hyperfeminine) girlbosses, see my vision

True equality

you know that trollcore post

dont say the dolls included are labubus.

I have never heard of them before and they don't seem to fit the flashy brightly colored 80s-00s (mostly) girl toy aesthetic.

Buuuut most colorants won't last 1000 years and this subculture plays it as loose with history as your average Renfaire so...

Sure, probably.

I found Hater and Peepers on wplace and decided to add a Sylvia!

Send an off-anon ask if you want the coordinates so you can put Wander in. It’d be fun to continue the collab with someone here!

Hater and Peepers were made by DeepSkirt #1360375

When Leela was a tween she got into Trollcore* to try to fit in. Now she tries to burn any remaining evidence of that time.

*Trollcore was a 2980s subculture based on hideous ancient dolls (some of which were Trollz) first discovered in the late 2970s. Whether they’re cursed, supposed to be ugly cute, or simply a quaint depiction of aliens during the Clouded Ages is unknown.

The only ones who understood the original purpose of troll dolls were preadolescent girls and the Trollz Raverz. Unfortunately, academics refuse to believe that Troll Dolls were "stupid little girly toys" and find the idea of ancient raves preposterous.

Leela was the only one of her peers that cared about the historical origins and the rest just thought it was weird and boring... The alien theory helped her find some interesting facts about the Clouded Ages’ depictions of aliens though!

HELP WANTED

Does anyone have access to Solidworks? I accidentally forgot to export all of the part before I turned my school laptop in. And I tried rebuilding them in Freecad but now my mesh is a mess...

It needs to be Solidworks specifically because:

I need to unsuppress features that get lost while using a convertor.

Solidworks files are designed to not work with other programs.

Please send an ask if you're able to help. You’ll, at the very least, get a print file in return.

I'd also love recommendations for free or affordable parametric modelling programs. FreeCAD doesn’t seem to handle sketch relations well and I extensively use those.

The forbidden edit...

[cloudydayjoy]

A byproduct of my quest to model and 3D print (or mold) blasters. Assets under the cut.

Please do not use my renders without credit. (Or repost them on Tumblr. Please reblog though.)

And here's a cool variant that looks purple in my gallery. The moire patterns cause eyestrain which, frankly, hurts my head so I'll put it on its own private post.

Watchdog Anatomy

Lord Hater tries to learn more about the species making up his army. But how's he supposed to do that when his books LIE to him!?

Sequel to Watchdog Biology by WhatSweetIntent, see the fic's note for link. Reading that first is highly recommended.

There is literally no better way to post Winona sketches than with rough engineering drawings & a prototype invention.

The only animals Teddy loves are sea urchins.

He often comes by to stare at them for hours on end to clear his mind. So often that the aquatic researchers and geneticists have gotten used to him and started calling him Urchie.

But not to his face. His off-putting demeanor keeps them away. Even if he sometimes drops cute little waterproof hats in the tank for them...
