Jaken 2020

Look at that, it's Jaken from Inu Yasha! He was so much fun to make. Figuring out his jaw joint felt like an adventure. Back then I didn't have social media and my knowledge of ball joints was limited so I re-invented the wheel for myself there. When it worked and he could yap I was so proud.

His eyes were the first I domed with UV resin. Because they're so big, the effect is quite dramatic. Before and after of that step never gets old to me.

For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

Heyyy guess where I live

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

KeShaun Pearson being escorted from the building by the Staties.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

The city most affected by the redistricting is Memphis, where locals are fighting against xAI's data center, which has been operating with very little oversight and is poisoning the people who live there. Here is a previous post on that with more information and more sources.

no leaves, but plenty of eyes.

inspired by me spacing out on a long drive & staring at trees. this happened earlier this year, and birches ended up growing leaves before i finished the doll.

all branches & roots are made of metal wire + hot glue, which makes them poseable and also keeps them from snapping.

"no"

"Actually," said the Australian cryptozoologist, "I was hoping to meet someone who was looking for the Yowie."

"What a coincidence!" said the fujoshi.

There was a pause. "Sorry," said the Australian cryptozoologist. "Does this joke work better written down or spoken aloud?"

"I think it's a bit crap either way," said the fujoshi.

"Look, I'm trying my best," said the writer.

I FOUND THEM

[aqua-cultured]

ok was rewatching the apothecary diaries again and noticed something crazy i haven't seen anyone talking about yet

so in the episode "the new pure consort" (s1ep14) loulan is introduced right, and the colors are really muted, like so:

in contrast, here's what a similar shot looks like in regular color

and here's what that same shot looks like when put through a red/green colorblind filter:

in fact, the only red and green we get during loulan's introduction are her eyes and accessories

anyway really cool detail i noticed and wanted to share cause i was losing my shit but my friends had never seen the show so i couldn't say anything lol

The Royal Armouries let me play about in their armour!

(This was a set from someone similar in size to me, but it wasn’t exactly correct in all dimensions. Real knights often wore armour that was made to measure, which would allow for a slightly better range of motion. However, for a video game or film character that has looted armour, then something that fits as well as this would be a best case scenario, so it still tells us a fair bit!)
