ShellySunshine

Hello! Welcome to my main blog! Here, I like to ramble on and on about stuff that I love, as well as other things. Sometimes, I just want space where I don't have to take things so seriously. :)

 I compared the brushes in Ibis Paint with FireAlpaca and I couldn't help but to notice how...  lower quality and blurrier the Ibis Paint brushes were.

That's a massive shame since it has some pretty good transformation tools. 

Ibis Paint is an...  interesting tool.

My biggest gripe with FireAlpaca SE 3 is how their liquify push function is much weaker compared to their other functions. I wish it was a bit stronger because it's my most used function.

That and having to pull another box open just to edit brushes as often. It's rather tedious to do, and I even brought this issue up with the developers via Steam to have it where it can appear in the Brush Control window.

[shellysunshine]

I find it pretty embarrassing that I still kind of like a robust art software a little, even if it's still a little janky. It's still a really good piece of software (Clip Studio Paint) that is managed otherwise a rather questionable management (CELSYS / Art Contest Judges / Social Media Managers).

Makes me wish that SAI 2 had more editing features and/or FireAlpaca SE 3 was more stable to use. Makes me wish both of these software were more up to speed.

Oh well.

*Brushes off this account*

I honestly don't know what I am going to do with this blog other than giving likes to things that I like to see. It's the main blog, but still.

As for other interests, I think I prefer making a side blogs for it.

I was going to close this account after gathering resources, but a post on Reddit resonated with me and I wanted to try something first.

Might be a bit before it gets made though.

this isn’t what i normally post here but firefox just switched ceos and this “anthony” dumbass is trying to put more “ai” slopware into it, meaning more bloat and privacy loss

if you use this browser you should go to their support forums and complain about it

[bedabug]

[cassolotl]

Link to the support forums so you can leave your feedback.

Also, how to remove AI features from Firefox:

irritatingly, the list of AI settings in Firefox has grown. to kill them all as of today (Nov 20, 2025), go into about:config and set all of these to false (yes, you’ll have to copy and paste them one by one):

browser.ml.enable

browser.ml.chat.enabled

browser.ml.chat.menu

browser.ml.chat.page

browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge

browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge

browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled

browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled

browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled

browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

extensions.ml.enabled

browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate

in addition to nuking AI, it’ll also speed up your browsing

Waterfox (which is what I'm currently trying) is another option. Librewolf is also good, but I think it's more for advanced users. FloorP is an option too, though I heard not so good things about it.

Of course, there's Vivaldi if you don't mind it being Chrome-based.

I'm not surprised that they pulled this stunt, but I'm more aggravated as to how tedious and harder it currently is to turn this garbage off to get better speed. Made me lose respect for these guys.

Why can't we decide for ourselves if we want this on or not?

[radleysproposal]

why'd i suddenly get a blorbo from something i don't play and why now

months of chipspeech taking all the space in my brain due to fictionkin and then there's just an unrelated guy in there???

[radleysproposal]

how do I make him pay rent

[shellysunshine]

But that's a really cool blorbo though.

Espio is one of my favorite characters.

[radleysproposal]

i did this for a collab teehee

[shellysunshine]

Well done! :)

Brighton & Twila are the hosts of Mario Party 6 and I think they are pretty cool! I wish the newer Mario Partys experimented with these new Host characters like MC Ballyhoo or Tumble but unlike those two Brighton & Twila give the game a Gimmick! (Another thing I wish the newer Mario Party's did tbh) with Day/Night cycles in the Board which is very cool of them, thanks Brighton & Twila!

also Brightons a name of a City in England I think I don't know how else to work this in but it is and I just wanted to point that out.

[shellysunshine]

@radley3925 look

Also, OP, these sprites are super cute, super cool, and super interesting!

Brighton and Twila Collab

Hello there!

First of all, if you happen to be a fan of these two Mario Party hosts, Brighton and Twila, there is a subreddit that is active and well-maintained by another user that I'm on good terms with and happens to also love these two as well. If you have not already done so, you can check it out and join the subreddit there. It mainly acts as the main hub area. Interpretation doesn't matter - we accept different kinds and anyone is free to join.

Secondly, the owner is currently hosting a collaboration project where people can draw these two however they are (as long as it's appropriate), and is open for submissions. The due date is December 6th, which gives you about three weeks should you want to submit your piece.

I wanted to wait until I got my piece for the collab in, but sadly, I haven't had a lot of time and I haven't had any ideas for it. Don't worry, I'm currently plotting and I have plans to have a piece for the collab before the deadline hits.

Description under the cut~

Imagine yourself finding a way to get up in the skies and on the courtyard where two very powerful celestial beings live.  You move around ever so excitingly to check out the majestic place.  You would visit their homes and eventually to the top of the castle. Somehow, so far, you haven't been detected!

Oh, what’s that?  You just so happen to step on Miracle Space?  Uh oh!  You’re in the doghouse now!  Both celestial beings, slightly perplexed, went to go outside and see what is going on!  Brighton first finds this interesting stranger roaming around!

They weren’t mad that this silly stranger is here – in fact, they’re feeling rather jolly and in love since they finally got married.  With wide smiles and good-hearted intentions, they simply both use their powers to lift you up.  A twister of shining stars forms around the miracle space and in between Brighton and Twila. 

Instead of sending you back home, however, they bring you to the inside of the castle – a special birthday party and a special cake with your name on is waiting for you.  And what better way to throw a party than hanging out with the silliest of party animals?  Somehow, someway, they just so happen to know or remember your birthday.

 ---

Happy (late) Birthday, Great-Crossover! :D

I wanted to make you this picture because I love your silly content, and you created such an amazing place on Reddit.  ;o;  I loved your movie as well!  Maybe this is how your movie truly ends.  :3

Anyways, I hope you love this artwork!  ^^

Also, I love adding Shine Sprites and Power Moons onto those two because I love associating those with Brighton and Twila respectfully! I made this more colorful than intended, but it worked out! It was originally going to be orange and blue themed, lol.

Feel free to check out her subreddit she created: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrightonAndTwila (don't let the shipping stuff scare you - I'm pretty sure we accept all family-friendly interpretations of these two)

Feel free to check out her movie she spent months on as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWvCO_OYnuU

Alternative version of the ship meme that I did a few days, but one character gets replaced with Bowser.

Long description under the cut.

As if BriTwi isn't already a rarepair as is due to how obscure those characters are, allow me to introduce an even more rarepair.

I have been talking to a friend that happens to be a huuuuuge (and I mean that very seriously) Bowser fan, and she just so happens to inspire me to like this ship.

Doesn't really help that I love to think that Twila happens to have some sort of connection (non-familial, ofc) of Bowser's army in terms of her items and her design.

She helped me out as to how Bowser would (mostly) act in a relationship. Might be a few here and there fanon ideas, but hey, I'm all for it since my take on Twila has a lot of fanon ideas. Guess I don't need to go into detail that my friend loved how this turned out, haha.

It's been a while since I drew Bowser and he came out rather nicely.

BriTwi will always be #1 in my eyes, but this pair is a pretty close second. :)

Description beneath the cut.

I spent at least a couple of days working on this ship meme.  xD I learned a lot about FireAlpaca along the way too!

The original template was mainly made for OCs, but I decided to use it here because why not?  It looked good!  I also added and removed a few couple of things that the original didn’t have, and I spent too much time prettying this up lol.

I think I’m probably only going to post this on my personal Reddit and Tumblr, though I might post it on Bluesky too.  Don’t really feel like it’s professional for my other social mediums.  Other places kind of expect more out of me in terms of my skills, but I felt like being on the casual side of things lately.  Don’t really feel confident in posting it in the BrightonAndTwila subreddit for some reason.

I had fun making this, nonetheless. :)

Might make another one like these with another ship that I like, hehe.

Yes, I do ship these two, clearly.  I know some of you prefer to keep them as friends or see them as siblings.  That’s cool, and if stuff like this bothers you, just block me lol. I also added in a couple of tags that can be blocked.  I don’t really like pointless discourse, and I think various interpretations of these two are interesting anyways.

If you’re curious about the template, just ask, preferably off anon.

Happy Roserade Day!

It's not really Roserade Day officially, but I like to think of it as such since April 7th is 4/07, at least in the US.

The old Sprite can designs with the blues, yellows, and greens remind me of Twila and I can not unsee that help

[shellysunshine]

I sometimes wonder if one of the developers for this game one day decided to drink a can of Sprite (or some other variant), took a good look at the can, and had a eureka moment and pitched in the idea for Twila's final design.

This coincidence will never not be funny to me.

Yooooo Gamecube games on the Switch 2 let's goooooooo

MP6 on the Switch 2 REAL?

Nintendo would be out of their minds if they didn't import 4-7.

Star Spirits, Brighton and Twila, and Toadsworth (yes, I know he's in the TTYD remake, but still) will be out of obscurity. :>
