newly updated Pippit reference page! 🍀🎈🌟 (plaintext and some notes under the readmore)

text: main: Pippit, magical plushie creature, adult/ages w me - late 20s, 6'6" default - shapeshifts (can be Any form or size), hollow hard plastic center (items inside can change) | very chill, kinda spacey, forgetful, not very good at talking (short sentences, drops/mixes words), cuddly, physically affectionate, parallel play, likes being quiet nearby, loves arts n crafts - making things is fun! misc: side view "he can be more pear shaped!", "summer arms", mouth "muppety mouth plastic fang teeths", tiny him "he can also be small" end text

notes: I forgot to mention it in its panel but Pipit uses it/its or he/him pronouns. Pippit is usually tied for most active/prominent BrainHouse guy with Stickee☆, the two of them together make the most active choices about how i spend my time, and i'd consider them the most Me. He's the holder of my calm comfortable feelings (when i go Puppy Mode its usually Pippit in charge of that) and the most creative of us by far. He's really friendly and sweet but between being Very Large, quite clumsy, and bad at speaking, he gets a little shy of social situations with people hes not already very familiar with. I think he wants to be more expressive and take up more space but he usually relies on Stickee☆ to help him with that, and with Stickee☆ being stuck in CareerBoy mode lately, Pippits been More Shy than Usual. It can be in so many lovely weird tf and kink/fetish situations but im so fucking shy of having an outlet for that. Currently working to let myself, like, Express Pippit more.

newly updated Piper reference page! 🩷🌼💗🌸 (plaintext and some notes under the readmore)

text: main: Piper, rosy goatmoth kid, they/it, 3-10 years old (they're baby), 1-3ft tall, varies w/age, literally baby animal | either sprinting or sleeping, doesn't talk, does vocalize a lot (BEH!), can use thought bubble images, the chewer (eats most of its clothes + blankets) likes sensory toys + music + cartoons misc: body "short fur, curly wool, bug tummy, goat hooves", wings "wings same front + back, lower wings flowers", small "sometimes it wear a bit T-shirt", asleep "usually sleeping, naptime creature"

notes: Piper is different from Stickee☆ and Pippit in that it very much Is Part Of Me but it doesn't steer the body (unless im like. really supremely sick or tired and can't access any of the mes who help take care of me). They're like what if nothing bad ever happened to me when I was their age, what would it look like to take care of a little kid in a way I was never taken care of. They're happiest when I'm taking naps or just fully resting chilling, I look to them to help me gauge if the body is getting the rest and food and enrichment it needs, and it helps me build like. self empathy. patience and understanding with where i feel like i Cannot reach adult levels of functionality in some aspects of my life. It was funny having it briefly as my Main Sona because that is NOT the role it fills, it doesn't know ANYTHING about being an adult. I feel like Pippit is very much a grown-up version of them <3

newly updated Stickee☆ reference page! 🎉⭐🔊 (plaintext and some notes under the readmore)

text: main: Stickee☆, robotic companion puppy, she/they/any, about 20yo (doesn't meaningfully age), 5'1", parts interchangeable, hard plastic + rubber body, soft parts self made | loud, confident, sociable, attention seeking, repetitive/referential speech, unable to incorporate new data, relies on ClipPaks for most skills (juvenile trait), physically standoffish with few exceptions, likes to sort data, play videogames, draw. CareerBoy: can work a job, very little else, good at small talk, otherwise silent, VERY demanding of time + energy (all time should be spent Usefully), likes Tasks, cannot play or draw. *** Stickee☆ cannot operate in any other mode while CareerBoy is active and cannot willingly deactivate it. misc: moodlets labeled 'normal', 'ANGRY', 'LuvMode'. small head illustration labeled 'faceplate hinges up, ears move back and forth'. backpacks labeled 'changeable ClipPaks determine 'modes', 'PupHouse: basic self care', 'ClipTunez: music mode' end text.

notes: Stickee☆ is kinda special in the BrainHouse in that she is both a very literal representation of a lot of my internal processes AND kinda her own character with her own Lore. CareerBoy has been in charge of their chassis lately since he's the one who makes it so i can like. earn money. complete difficult tasks, etc. which means i havent really had very much access to Videogames mode or art thats not just Doodles. been doing lots and lots of therapy work with CareerBoy lately tho and was able to get this done today and get excited about new games, so hes (working on) learning to share. i think getting a new job (giving CareerBoy a task that suits his purpose) and/or being more intentional about having videogame and art time (giving Stickee☆ a fun outlet) will help convince them to swap places more often moving forward (rather than feeling Locked Out Of access to one or the other for months at a time)

Nairobi > New York City

Phase One of Project Brainhouse has officially come to an end. Eric left the country yesterday and I will be leaving Nairobi tomorrow for NYC. Thank you everyone for your support and following, it meant a lot to the kids when I told them people in the US were paying attention.  Overall, this first part was a major success. We are coming home with 197 rolls of film to develop, all taken by about 600 students at Brainhouse. That's not counting the amazing documentary series that Eric and I have. From here on we move to begin the process of raising funds for development of the rolls and printing for our show. If you havent donated to Project Brainhouse yet and would like to, there will be plenty of opportunity to help with these new costs. Information on how to do this coming soon.

We havent narrowed down a location for the gallery yet, but we have a few places we have in mind and have contact with. The work all must be completed, photos developed and printed, before we secure a location and time. We're very excited to show the kids' photos, especially since we have come up with a cool way to display them as 4x6. This will allow us to display around 1500 of the photos (of the 4000 we will have) instead of only using select few.  This website will continue! Updates will be posted every few days through the end of January, which is when I aim to return with whatever funding we have raised from the gallery. Remember, the end goal of this is not only to provide the kids with photo classes, but also to raise money to help the orphans with food supplies and improve the school facilities. Please check back sometimes to view our progress and find out when things will be happening. If you're not following us on twitter yet, please do! If you have any way to help, maybe your friend works at a gallery or you write for a newspaper, please let me know! The bigger this becomes, the more we can raise for this fantastic, loving school.

Thanks again
