What’s the figure you used for Otacon in your latest post?? It looks so cool and I’ve been trying to find a stand-in for him myself since there’s no official figures of him.

Thank you so much for asking!

Otacon is a custom made by an old friend of mine. If memory serves, he is composed of the body of Spike from Buffy (with the coat painted), the head of Anakin Skywalker, and glasses from some rando.

Somewhere in the depths of this blog there's a supremely unflattering picture of me unwrapping him on Christmas day and being absolutely bowled the fuck over, but finding that on mobile is a pain in the ass so you'll have to take my word for it.

Hi! You're one of my favorite blogs. It's always so calming to see Snake just hanging around loving life. I hope the two of you are doing well!

Thank you so much! We are loving life and eating delicious food!

If you are ever in Olympia, I highly recommend the potato balls from the Wayside Cafe.

I rlly wish tumblr would let me send this from my art account but i just wanna say i love this account it brings me so much joy

And messages like this bring Snake (and me) a lot of joy in turn!

About the same level of joy one might feel if blackberries were the size of one's own head, perhaps.

I love your blog so fucking much

Thank you so much! Here, have Snake enjoying some flowers at a place called TRITON'S COVE.

your blog is as some may say 'good soup' (seriously tho its nice seeing toy/figure photography!)

Thank you so much!

I do feel a bit constrained in terms of what I can do with Snake, with his minimal articulation (his head doesn't even turn anymore since it fell off and I had to glue it back on) and my limited photography skills.

But we get by :)

"Get a load of these green onions!"

how many strawberries tall is snake? my guess is 4

Unfortunately I already ate all the nice little ones from the farm share box, but as far as Costco strawberries, I can show you!

A little taller than 3 big ones...

Or just under four medium ones!

i'm so glad i found this blog because it's so sweet for literally no reason

it makes me want to buy my own snake figurine and go on adventures with it

I say this with 100% sincerity: DO IT.

Really. I've been doing this (admittedly, on and off) for eleven years now, and it has always been a positive experience for me.

Starting a new class in college? Ended up at a party where I didn't know anyone? Landed my first Adult Job where I flew to Napa Valley to help ghostwrite a book with a rich weirdo? Spending time with my future in-laws? Or a more recent example - running a marathon?

Snake to the rescue.

People get excited about him, even when I'm not taking photos. Sometimes he's just poking out of my purse and people say "oh my god I love your little guy!"

And, you know, sometimes I'm just sad and sour and shit feels dark. But I still put him in my purse and take him on my 🎶 stupid mental health walks 🎶 even if I don't take a single photo.

That's why he's got his own house with four breakfasts.

So really, I hope you do. And if you take photos, I hope you tag me in them. But I swear, even if you never take a single picture, there really is something buoyant about bringing a little dude out into the world with you, and deciding that it's an adventure.

warmsnake died so adventuresnake could see spring again

Moment of silence for warmsnake, who I know we all miss.

🙏

But yes, my Snake is truly making the most of spring.
