The colorful shirt part is repo'd to the versions with boots so those are required. The pants/undies parts are repo'd to the 01 file of each group so those are required, the normals are also repo'd to those so the files are much smaller than they had been. The boots outfits are set as Everyday, Formal, Gym, Outerwear, & Maternity. The barefeet outfits are set as Gym & PJs. The barefeetundies outfits are set as PJs, Swimwear, & Undies. Meshes are included (the barefoot mesh works for the undies outfits too), they're the versions with Maxis hands and feet, if you want smooth hands and sexy feet you can get those meshes from the original download. These are for AM only
I guess vaguely once a month is just how these things work now, I do try to read everyone's tags and replies and stuff but a lot of them I just don't really have anything to reply with sorry! as always I appreciate the supportive words and well wishes and stuff <3
I also love the trifurcation of responses to [go to bed]: one group of people is like "yeah u right I sleep now thanks", one is like "sorry but I can't", and one is just like "no! I refuse!!!" lol
I did get two different "posts that have 10k to me" tags though, on [one] that actually passed 10k and [another] that is still barely triple digits and will probably stay there XD
anyway [chess kirb] was on the radar which is neat
also my birthday is this weekend :)
oh yeah and reminder that I also have a craft blog @sleepy-princess-craftery
on [the last roundup] @sacrasm said: oh the clonk'd is just my queued post tag! thr other one is self explanatory he is little he is pink and i affectionately call things freak sometimes (in combination with other words)

on [drowsy] @ceylonsilvergirl said: being laid up sick or injured is terrible, but I think we also need to acknowledge that it’s also boring as hell. can’t do anything fun. boring boring boring
it is!!! it's so boring!!! especially since I'm already baseline sick all the time so I have less options to start with, so to do even less than that is literally nothing!
anonymous asked: Gwah being sick sucks. I wish immune system upon you!
thank you! (I think I actually need less immune system? on account of the immune disorder. but either way I do not have an active infection anymore 👍)

on [mask] @macro-microcosm said: glad you're feeling better! i agree that we should all still be masking up, it bothers me soooo much to see that so many people have stopped
like honestly, scientifically speaking it is way more effective and more accessible than just leaning on vaccines, and it protects people from all kinds of stuff not just covid! but nobody wants to wear masks and even people who think they're being cautious just want to lean on vaccine requirements, which is doubly inaccessible for me personally and probably millions of other people :( stresses me out too.
anonymous asked: Magicking you up some new containers
thanks! they didn't have what I wanted at target but we got some usable stuff from daiso, so at least it's not all still shoved in a ziploc bag.
@thewizardgnome asked: But what if I say bye
I mean yeah you can do that too if you want I guess lol
on [paper] @breathelifeintothatsoul said: Cool! I've always wanted to try and make my own (recycled) paper one time
it's fun! there's a lot of extra steps you can add in if you want to, but the absolute basics of it is just dump a bunch of paper strips into a bin, fill it with water, wait until it breaks up enough for your liking, then dunk some kind of stiff screen into it (horizontally) so you can pull out even layers of pulp to dry somewhere.
on [paper] @hermitfox said: oooo making your own paper is do much fun, I have fond memories from kindergarten doing that. ... actually what stops me from doing that as an adult. I should make paper again
do recommend, making things is fun and also good for you :) also the paper pulp is very Texture (affectionate) (to me) (I'm sure to others it can be very Texture (derogatory) but I like it)
on [yarn] @ceylonsilvergirl said: I am very envy of people who can follow a pattern, I can’t do that. I can do a friend being like “Oh this next one is two one two one’’, i can’t translate abbreviations into an idea in my mind. give me a diagram instead
I'm the opposite tbh, I find the abbreviations really easy to follow but looking at a diagram for knitting and crochet just turns into like, visual noise if it's more complex than like, a single fan stitch or whatever.

on [chair] @mads-is-tired said: i’ve never played a kirby game but i desperately want to BECAUSE LOOK AT HIM
honestly so valid, he's basically a character brand to me (like hello kitty or rilakkuma). I'm probably biased, but I feel like the best games to start with are either forgotten land (the one that came out on switch last year) or crystal shards (originally for the n64, also available through the nintendo online vc). I think they're the most visually appealing (aside from epic yarn which is not a mainline game) and while they reward exploration they're not as complex as some of the handheld titles to fully explore, nor are they as hand-holdy as some of the other console titles. a good middle ground of feeling like you did the thing, without being frustrating.

anonymous asked: Your kirbys bring me daily serotonin
"What sparked his desire for world domination? Working in customer service." I just had to tell you how much I love this because it's the most valid and relatable motif haha. Made my day
I straight up told my friend yesterday that this year sparks the beginning of my villain arc, because HOOOO BOY AM I SICK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE.
We need more villains in anime that just became Bad because they worked in customer service. It has the perfect environment.
People treat you like trash? Check. You endure daily ridicule and you’re forced to bear it? Check. You witness exactly how DUMB people are? Check. You’re rewarded with little to nothing as you make a barely-living wage that doesn’t stave off any stress of having to save money to survive while ALSO dealing with the stress of walking into an emotional minefield the next day? Check. This results in a lower viewpoint on humanity as a whole and you begin to grow bitter and apathetic to anyone’s situation? Check.
It’s all RIGHT THERE. How are more people who worked in customer service NOT villains????
I actually like some of Ichikawa's other stories a lot. There was one about cicada people and another one about a being from space that gained sentience, those really stuck with me.
oh wow!! : O i’m so glad you ended up enjoying her other works... makes me feel like there’s a lot of potential and i’m excited for it! thank you for the input...

on [scarf]:
@fluffy-undertale said: I'm not going to lie, for a moment I thought that scarf was made of ramen noodles

@bubblesthesanddragon said: if i had fruit gummies i would give the cherry and orange ones to kirby cause i dont like them but i think he would
I think kirby would be a great friend for that purpose, where you get like a mixed flavors thing but don’t like all the flavors. because he will eat all of them.
also everyone else rushing to give him fruit snacks was very cute, the notes on that post are honestly so delightful :’)

@mystic-inator said: Hi
excellent following of instructions, gold star. (hello :> )
special edition reply roundup to respond to all the thoughtful things you folks had to say about my Vaccine Woes now that I’m somewhat able to put together a coherent thought again (130 hours later lol).
very wordy and contains discussions of coronavirus, vaccines, chronic illness, and ableism. I got a lot of Opinions and y’all have been very kind, no one has said a single bad word to me about it, but I still gotta give Knowledge, I’m sure you understand XD
also there were some comments on day 3 that belong in the regular roundup, hopefully this reminds me :T
and for clarification, [this tiktok] is how I feel about vaccines in general aside from the whole “I’m chronically ill and any significant change can function as a bulldozer to my fragile internal ecosystem” thing. I am strongly pro-vaccine and I know they are 100% safe for able-bodied people. I am just also not able-bodied anymore.
on [day -1]:
@a-passing-passerby said: Hey. You shouldn't get the vaccine if it's not for your best health. You should talk to your doctor about any adverse risks because of your special condition. Don't be pressured into taking the vaccine if you're immunocompromised or something similar. (No one should be forced to take a vaccine, especially if it's against your health.) And I like your drawings. I hope to see more. Funny boyo go poyo. I hope things go well for you.
no one individual was sitting me down and going “get vaccinated or I’m never speaking to you again” or anything like that, it’s just the perpetual ignorance towards the disabled and the way that makes people as a group regard “~The Unvaccinated~” as some kind of maliciously ignorant monolith who needs to be bullied into submission. and I did speak to my doctor, they of course were all for it because it reduces the risk of me getting seriously ill from exogenous viruses, even though it comes with a bunch of other risks of its own that frankly they as an individual have only a moderate grasp on at best (which is still better than their profession as a whole, tragically). and we did what we could to mitigate those other risks, even though obviously what we could do was limited and I was functioning very independently in that regard.
in order to have a viable alternative to the chronically ill having to choose the lesser of two evils for the sake of their own lives, we have to get society to like, remember we exist at all. cuz otherwise with the aggressive vaccine mandates being put in place instead of social distancing and other preventive measures, it’s either get vaccinated and make myself bed-bound for apparently at least a week in addition to the risk of anaphylaxis and/or permanent worsening of my chronic illness, or don’t get vaccinated and be even more house-bound for reasons that have nothing to do with me, possibly forever. (I, personally, was not at a very high risk of catching covid anyway, because I stay home all the time and my wife is in healthcare but strictly forbidden from seeing covid patients, meaning she’s got all the high standards of workplace sanitation and regulation without the additional exposure risk. but those of us who can’t control our own exposure risk to such a degree also have that to weigh against.)
(but thank you for being in my corner, and I’m glad you like the drawings. he will evidently keep showing up every day come hell or high water :> )
@hollow026 said: As a fellow chronically ill human, I know your pain. Getting my vaccine knocked me down for a couple days, but it does get better. I hope you find a comfy spot to cuddle up and wait it out! I wish you plenty of rest and many blankets!
I’m glad it only took you out for a couple days, and thank you <3 I got myself a heated blanket back in april which has been very nice to have. (it’s all those blues and pinks and purples I really like)
@maybeifitalk said: I'm really sorry that's all happening. I guess every time I see a vaccine mandate, I assume it excludes people for whom the vaccine would be harmful and therefore the mandate is actually in favor of those who can't get vaccinated cause herd immunity. I guess I believed more in the government's ability for nuance than they deserve 😅
most vaccine mandates have an exception for a negative PCR test within the past 72 hours, but that 1000% requires substantial advanced planning for damn near literally any activity. (my state only requires vaccines for ticketed events, which that I can at least sort of be at peace with, but my county requires vaccines for events, restaurants, museums, etc.) and I’m guessing the at-home mail-in tests aren’t going to cut it, due to the length of the turnaround, which means you have to physically go out somewhere to get tested, which can be A Massive Problem for the chronically ill. that means without getting vaccinated I’d have to plan everything at least a day in advance and heavily gamble on not running up a crippling spoon debt getting tested, and there would be no wiggle room for rescheduling.
and honestly, herd immunity was a pressure point people used for a while to get others vaccinated, but the concept at play of “the immunocompromised” or “the sick” is always some distant other sitting in a nursing home looking sad, rather than “hey if 8 of our 9 family members and our three best friends get vaccinated, and we have it outside and wear our masks when we’re not eating and sit at separate picnic tables, maybe we can have a very small wedding ceremony without killing me or my stepdad [who had cancer and also wasn’t vaccinated at the time]”
@melodiousramblings said: Your blog brings such a smile to my face all the time and I love your Kirby art. Sadly we live in an ableist society and no one takes the time to care or even consider those with chronic illnesses. I hope the vaccine doesn’t hit you too hard and take it easy! Don’t push yourself! Sending good vibes!
god it gets under my skin sometimes. and I know how easy it is to be ignorant of it! I was almost completely ignorant of it until I got sick enough to notice! but that just makes it worse! thank you for your commiseration and kind words <3
@midget-vigilante said: I’m pretty sure there are accommodations in place for those with immune disorders? Plus, there have been plenty of studies that show unless you have an allergy to one of the ingredients in the vaccine, it’a safe. It’s more dangerous to actually have COVID-19 with an autoimmune disorder than to get the vaccine. This isn’t to shame you or anything, and of course you shouldn’t listen to random people on the internet, but I hope this makes you feel better!
you’re right, actually getting covid would be worse for me than getting the vaccine. but that doesn’t mean the vaccine is just a half day of feeling a tiny bit under the weather for me like it is for abled folks. and the problem with the allergy thing is the nature of the disorder I have. my mother who probably has the same thing has a legitimate allergic reaction to the sun, which would sound super fake if I didn’t know better. a blogger I follow with the same disorder wept with joy when she got to eat a grape for the first time in many years because her illness was under control enough to reintroduce foods to her diet. this isn’t me going “oh no I’m not sure if it’s safe I heard there’s mercury in it???” this is me going “okay my body reacts very strangely and often very negatively as a basic rule. some people with my disorder go into anaphylactic shock from things they could handle fine before just because there were too many other normally-fine things pushing them up towards the threshold. this vaccine negatively impacts abled people enough that they experience distress about it, which means it’s gonna take me to the cleaners. that’s a lot for me to put on myself and this is a really garbage situation. there should be other options here and there aren’t and that sucks and I don’t want to go into anaphylaxis which is a pretty grounded concern.”
as for accommodations, there’s the negative test exception mentioned above, where I also go into why that’s not really much of a workaround for us. thank you for trying to reassure me though, I’m sure it’s important info for others out there <3
@hermitfox said: oh no, I only wish you the best! Hopefully the vaccine won't be too hard on you, that sucks. we vaccinate the healthy so that people like you are protected after all...
yeah, that is ostensibly the idea, but a lot of people’s image of “the immunocompromised” or “the ill” is grandma at the nursing home, not another 20-something at the concert. and because everyone’s mental picture is so limited and outdated, rules written to match it do a lot of harm in their own right, even when they’re meant to protect.
@zer0cracy said: Even if the work slows down or stops, we're not going anywhere. Good luck with the vaccine!

that is a good way to think about it! it’s gonna take a while yet to recover back to where I was the day before the vaccine, and I’ll never not be chronically ill, but I want to be well enough that I can do the things I want without distress someday. and right now I can’t wash the dishes, but I can play little games on my ipad without hurting, and that’s still better than what it was.

Much love and good vibes to you <3
that’s so cute that the gorb gets his own little theme tune, thank you for sharing that with me and for the support <3 still incapacitated but not in pain -thumbs up emoji-

I love virtual ice cream, thank you :> I hope it is the kind with bits of stuff in it. like cake or cookies. that’s the best kind.
