just a little! as a treat! please! it’s still winter it’s not too late!

on [2 grump 2 furious] @imkirb said: objectively these high temps suck cus global warming, but ngl i like the heat much more than cold so im kinda grateful fjgjgh

that is totally valid, living in a place where the weather is Not For You sucks regardless of what type of weather you prefer. (and really the unseasonable cold is also a symptom of climate change, the jet stream that tends to keep the cold arctic air to canada and the northern us is becoming more unstable and more able to wobble waaay down south compared to where it’s previously been, that’s likely what caused those massive ice storms at the end of december)

@ceylonsilvergirl added a [caption] to [shrug] that says “time to say FUCK IT!”

sometimes you really do just gotta say fuck it.

I’m very bad at scrabble, and anything involving anagrams etc. my brain sees the letters in one order and goes “I mean like that is probably a word” and just leaves them there.

on [ladybug] @hobgirl said: i have some very good memories of ladybugs, which are supposed to be good luck, showing up when i was incredibly sad. but some of those memories are tainted by the ladybug dying shortly after. still though. still

that’s very sweet :’) but even the ones that didn’t live long got to share a tiny bit of their little bug life with you and I think that’s still something to be happy about.

on [vision] @chaosinanutshell said: WAHAHHAHA monocular vision kirbo, he just like me, one braincell left gang frfr. hope ur day has been good! definitely cheered me up :>

thank you! I don’t remember if it was at the time or not. (today is okay though. our other partner gave us the info for their plane tickets for next month and after I finish catching up on the little things I’ve put off I get to play more lego game.)

on [:<] @gidguard said: blog content as advertised by the user name, love to see it

what can I say I value truth in advertising

on [isekai] @northeasternwind said: SLIDES IN WITH MY USELESS KNOWLEDGE the reason for the absurd titles is because most of these are published as novels first on a specific website..... which does not allow authors to write a summary, description or synopsis. so you literally have to choose what to read based on the cover art and the title alone. (sidenote, my favorite type of Isekai is otome Isekai, with the more specific subgenre of villainess Isekai, in which the main character is reincarnated as the villainess of an otome game and then proceeds to girlboss her way into happiness. Unfortunately, only a couple of them have the OG heroine actually be a decent person :c) also I'm sure we know this but Kirby and the Forgotten Land is of course an Isekai. 😂😂😂 oh this is not me trying to change your mind by the way I'm just infodumping in the replies because this post activated my brain oops. you may even know all this already 😂 apologie

lol you are totally fine, I love it when people are excited about stuff! I’ve seen a lot of villainess otome isekai being officially translated into english lately, so it’s good your favorite subgenre is so well fed right now (at least in the english-reading market), even if it’s still hard to find the ones that fit just the right niche.

katfl falls into the same isekai niche as a gentle noble’s vacation recommendation (at least as far as the first volume lol) in which neither the home world nor the otherworld are basically the real earth modern day. one could argue that katfl’s otherworld is still earth, I’m p sure many have, but as it’s a distant future earth it’s really not the same thing imo. (I do not personally like when one of the worlds involved is basically real earth modern day.)

on [goo] @hobgirl said: i know this is abt chronic illness, but summer also.

it can be about whatever makes you feel like you’re slowly dissolving into a pile of goo, that’s how art works -u-

on [goo] @northeasternwind said: /gathers you both up and sets you  in a nice breathable supportive pillow fort :(

that sounds so nice ty ;n;

(and thank you to @ceylonsilvergirl, @opportunity-strikes, @macro-microcosm, and @0-jayless-0 for the well wishes on [sick], and my condolences to the person who reblogged it with “MOOD AGAIN” XD I may never be truly Well, but at least I am much less nauseous for now!)

on [lego] @ceylonsilvergirl​ said: this is a situation I’ve found myself in with my son multiple times. thank goodness they’re nontoxic

yeah good thing they tried to plan ahead for that. (this reminds me of that one post that’s like “what would you do if you had a box with a little bit of god in it? well that box is your body stop eating markers.” lol)

on [lego] @jeaniechibi​ said: i get the urge to eat them as well buddy with how shiny and yellow they are; but there's better actual cheese out there! so which lego games will you get? 👀 i loved lego star wars as a kid and lego H*rry Potter! (before i learned that JKR is. y'know. like that)

I used to bite them to pull stubborn pieces apart, like those little flat blocks.

my wife and I bought lego hp years ago and then stopped playing it when jkr decided to dump her whole public image in the toilet for good (and cuz the split screen in the second half was making me nauseous >n< ), cuz it really destroyed my wife’s relationship with the series. (personally I’m of the opinion that while it is genuinely important and valuable to be aware of a creator’s Terrible Opinions and not just sweep them under the rug because they made a thing you like, you’re not like, ethically required to publicly disavow the thing and burn every tie you ever had to it. I grew up with hp, and while as an adult it’s much easier for me to see how her assorted Terrible Opinions made their way into the series and that the whole thing is overall pretty mediocre at best, I still have a lot of affection for the time I spent with it and some fandom works and so on and I don’t think it actually helps anyone to throw that away or pretend it isn’t true. but then again I also grew up deeply enjoying orson scott card books while knowing (and hating) full well even at the time that he was homophobic, so maybe I just have more practice at letting my affection for a piece of art and my disdain for the artist coexist without either one swallowing up the other.)

so, anyway, we already had a copy of lego hp that was like half finished so I 100%ed that during the beginning portion of this month since not playing it doesn’t affect whether or not she got paid for it years ago, then a couple days ago I bought lego city undercover which I’m having a lot of fun with (although some of the humor there too has uhhhhh Aged Poorly we’ll say). I’ve played the versions of lego star wars and lego indiana jones that were on the ds and enjoyed them a lot but I have trouble playing handhelds now with my vision and joint issues, and my wife said we can get the new version of lego star wars to play together instead but she hasn’t quite gotten around to it yet lol. I think I’ll get the dc and marvel ones too, even though I don’t personally care much for superhero stuff, just cuz I really really like lego gameplay and they’re on a really really good sale. (and we’re in kind of a holding pattern until mid-march when we find out where my wife has to move for work next so. might as well do nothing but keep up with bare minimum chores and play lego games until then.) maybe even the lego movie 2 game, just cuz. more lego gameplay. they’re good for me to have on hand I think, especially when they’re 80% off XD

anonymous said: I legit just wanna thank you for being my favorite part of the day. Fr im experiencing artist rage and the kirby helps me relax so much

I am glad the gorb can bring you some peace -u- sometimes you just gotta look at a cute little guy and the things that you were angry about become a little more manageable! (not always. but sometimes!)

anonymous said: Kirby can just be there and my day will be brighten instantly.

best quality: the joy he brings

also I received a drawing in the askbox that I will hop to the top of the reblob queue :>

Hello! Just a question about your 3D comms -- if a commissioner wanted to return to you later to purchase additional turnarounds/poses/animations for a model you created in the past is that something you consider?

Yes, provided I'm available to work on it! If someone has commissioned me for a model in the past and wants to get an animation of it/extra renders/etc later on, they can reach out to me via email and I'll try and work on it whenever I am next available to.

KICKING DOWN THE DOOR

monster, future, mask for GLORY

monster: Is your OC monstrous in any way? Is there something that makes them monstrous? Are they aware of their own monstrosity? Do they accept it or reject it?

probably the most ghastly thing about Glory is the giant geode opening in its chest, but once it explains it is a Special Machination of the Gods, I think most Thyleans are kinda like "Ah of course, a machination of the gods!" bc Thyleans are weird too. maybe a normal earth genasi would have some weird feelings knowing the Glory is technically also an earth genasi, but I think as far as monstrosities go, Glory is one of my least monstrous OCs haha.

future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?

spoilers for other Dragonlords players but uhhhhhhh Glory will become a statue for good if it doesn't "Obtain A Soul" by the time its purpose is fulfilled. that is definitely the worst possible ending for it & as of now, Glory doesn't even know it IS soulless. when it finds out about this... I don't know if it will take immediate steps to avoid this ending on its own. its journey to personhood will have to begin thru the lens of those who care about them. :)

mask: Does your OC wear a mask, literally or figuratively? What goes on beneath it? Is there anyone in their life who gets to see who they are under the mask?

Glory is very open about who it is! I'm not even sure it could wear a figurative mask if it tried (maybe if it was for the good of a mission/task but it would feel very uncomfortable about it). it's as open as the geode in its chest lol. one might be able to call its entire form a "mask" of sorts bc it is a living statue, but that just means it gets to discover itself as it learns & grows with the party.

🧠 and 👂 for CINDER!!!! 😍😍😍

🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?

oh Cinder's head is a box of Rocks (kidding). Probably her like...earnestness and friendliness, if that counts? Her neurodivergent ways are captivating to some lmao

👂 : Does your OC have an attractive voice?

lmao not really, at least she doesn't think so. Her voice is kinda deep and husky, which can be very attractive, but her thick accent and very bouncy manner of speaking is probably pretty grating to some lmao. She a lil goofy when she talks

🍁👻

Maple leaf and ghost for Lawrie if you're feeling it!!

🍁 MAPLE LEAF - what is their favourite season? why?

fall!! harvest season is always exciting on the ranch, lots to do and prepare for the winter. he enjoys watching the leaves change, and likes it when the days start to get longer so he can spend more time out at night looking at the stars.

👻 GHOST - do they believe in ghosts? what are their “ghostly experiences”, if any?

absolutely he believes in ghosts, not just the literal but also the emotional. he's dealt with a fair amount of literal ghosts as a traveling paladin, and is constantly haunted by the family he left behind.
