Minecraft speedrunning is about 98% white boys, so i do respect that when they had to replace a whiteboy commentator for playoffs they replaced him with a black girl

our snake, pastry, was on a couple-month-long feeding strike and is now off as evidenced by the fact she struck me for the first time, as if to say "why did you not feed me" (after i offered her rats like four times that she rejected and she finally ate last week!)

im really surprised- she used to eat primarily dropped food, and i was happy when she learned to strike. but she missed twice and then struck me and now she is just confused as to why there is no rat in her mouth (she was clearly too trigger happy so i set the rat down and backed away for a moment)

well, its good to know that her health issues havent deteriorated her appetite as much as i was worried. i do need to take her back to the vet but im waffling because frankly, i cant afford surgery again but also shes a snake and im not sure what the ethics are of putting a snake with recurring health issues through multiple surgeries? ive heard of reptiles just... passing away on the table because the anasthetic does a number on them. its really frustrating we havent killed this infection or whatever it is in her jaw.

a wise person, upon opening up a machine they had not used in a long time and barely know how to operate, may look up some sort of. tutorial.

however, i am not a wise person, so i just spent A While trying to make Sewing Machine work

it is now making Whirr Whirr noises while not moving the needle so i have concluded maybe its broken?idk what to do now

Obviously my first magical girl sallys were made pretty fast and I had been mostly focusing on doing patterns and colors without as much regard for the shape of the outfit so I've been working on some additional sketches as seen above.

design details under cut

Here's my earlier design:

I originally had both the bat skulls on the head and bat wings + a thread/needle/spiderweb design going on. I'm leaning towards one or the other rn.

I was actually struggling a lot with where to go, I'm not the *best* at making magical girl designs, so I went on dolldivine.com and played with a few character creators to get a feel for the magical girl clothing genre:

i was going to wait until i had something more final to post but somehow just drawing these like. 2 designs was so tiring! a surprising amount of thinking went into this!
