Redraw time! Nearly a decade between these.
The first one is the first art I posted on the internet, as soon as my parents let me make a deviantart account. I was thirteen and used to draw this kind of thing a lot.
The second I drew last night at 2am because I wanted to make 13yr old me happy and also i got possessed by the sleepy art demon.
[ID: Image 1 - a coloured pencil drawing of an "anime style" girl taking a selfie with takanuva from bionicle. The girl has pale freckled skin, long brown hair in a low ponytail, and a slim green vest top. One arm holds up the camera, and the girl and takanuva each have one arm around the other's back. They're smiling with their eyes closed and the background is a sunny view of the sea and a beach with a sand castle. There's some sun glare in the corner of the picture, wispy clouds, and the sea has sparkles on it.
Image 2 - a digital drawing of a person taking a selfie with takanuva. The person has pale freckled skin, an underbite, long brown hair with growing out buzzed sides tied in a ponytail, and a black tshirt with the sleeves cut off. They have chipped black nails, an ear cuff and a couple bracelets including a rainbow one. They are grinning and are making a peace sign. Takanuva's eyes are making a happy expression and he is also making a peace sign (or perhaps failed bunny ears) behind the person. The background is a blue sky with wispy clouds and a beach. End ID]
My art has changed a lot, and I've grown so much, but some things have certainly stayed the same lol
#bionicle#redraw#takanuva#kid me put so much effort into figuring out drawing bionicle#I think they'd be so happy to see how I draw them now#not to get too deep on silly bonkle selfie drawing#but kid me couldn't picture how i could ever be me and an adult#I didn't know i was allowed to be like any of the things i am now#i couldn't imagine being a woman and i'm not#i couldn't imagine growing out of the things i adored and i haven't#i couldn't imagine myself being happy as an adult and even though a lot of things do suck I am#idk man looking at them side by side experiencing feelings i wanna give that kid a hug#life is fleeting and ever changing but bonkles are forever lol#anyway yeah this isn't a masterpiece or anything i just figured it'd be nice to put it here#please excuse text mistakes i am very tired as usual

because sometimes louis (and vampires) deserves nice things
Or: no, they really don't, but I'm giving it to them, anyway because it amuses me.
Iwtv is a painful fandom to be a part of, especially if you know what's coming and I think most people know, readers or not. The books have been out for years. There was a movie. The internet exists. What I'm saying is anyone coming into this fandom is probably someone who, by general cultural osmosis, knows what's up. Nobody's coming in blind. So, we all, to varying degrees, know how much it's gonna hurt us.
So after I brood about it (like the good Louis fan i am), I like to imagine a softer world for the characters. A world that's filled with small dramas instead of big ones and imagine them still being their ridiculous selves.
Now, think of this introduction to my soft vampire daydreams as a warm bath...
The premise is superficially the same minus the murdering and vampirism and it's a modern day human AU, so this Claudia has two dads and not a dad and an uncle and more importantly (not to Louis and Lestat; they would like their young, sweet daughter back; not this shrieking changeling who's replaced her), she gets to grow up. She's adopted (legally and everything!) because Tragic Circumstances (not caused by Louis this time). Now, I thought Bailey played Claudia a lot younger than 14 in the beginning and I really enjoyed it. Claudia almost certainly didn't get a childhood, so when Louis and Lestat vamped her, she did, and I take my characterization from that because this is supposed to be fun.
Anyway, they adopt Claudia at younger than 14 - young enough that she's still asking "is that my fountain?" "is that my house" "are we a family?" and she is exactly as spoiled as she is in the show. Whatever she wants, she gets. Louis and Lestat dote on her. Lestat especially, spoils her. They have a special bond (I've yet to figure out about what yet; not the stage, that comes later and Claudia is sooooo mad about it). She has special bonds with both of her dads, but in her early childhood, she's especially close with Lestat because they're so similar. When she hits her tweens and teens, that's when she gets closer to Louis because "the NOISE, the DRAMA, he's so STUPID! he doesn't understand ANYTHING" and "noise! Noise is this torment that you pretend is music! I taught you better! She knows, Louis! She knows what music is; she only does this to HURT ME!, 'DRAMA?! DRAMA?! shouting in French', 'I AM AN ADULT; I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING AND IT IS YOU WHO IS STUPID, UNGRATEFUL BRAT!' followed by the very loud, very identical sounds of inarticulate rage, a chorused 'I HATE YOU' and the slamming of two doors in unison.
Lestat would absolutely argue like this with his teenage daughter. He would absolutely be the parent says 'your face is stupid!' to his kid, throw the exact same tantrum while his husband watches serenely 'LOUIS, MON CHER, HOW CAN YOU TAKE HER SIDE?!!!!!!! DO YOU NO LONGER LOVE ME?????' Meanwhile, Louis has said nothing as he listened to the two of them present their case to him as if he's some kind of judge. As if he wasn't just sitting here all cozy, reading his book when these two loud brats stomped (loudly) into the living room and stood in front of him, taking turns (loudly) hurling insults at each other while throwing their arms out as if they're presenting one another to Louis and then looking at Louis as if to say 'can you BeLieVE what i have to put up with? Louis does believe it. Louis absolutely believes because Louis is currently putting up with it times two every day of his life. He is seriously reconsidering Lestat's offer to nominate him for sainthood and present his case to The Church. St. Louis of New Orleans. It has as ring to it. Louis is not serene. He only looks serene because he is imagining his own softer world where his husband and daughter had quiet fights, upstairs, away from him, while he got to finish a book (one! single! book!) without interruption. And now that they've both stormed off without waiting him to render a verdict (he has yet to do this; he is mildly disappointed because he kind of wants to do that thing Armand showed him on the Ipad that time - hold up a picture of each one of them and tell them it's the same picture. He'd been a little confused by it at first and then Armand have given him a long lecture on memes on and Internet Culture before Daniel (Old Maniel, my beloved! I don't care; this is my new favorite iteration of devil's minion and you can pry it from my cold, dead hands) cut in: "Armand, I think he's got it. I had to explain memes to him. He had a lot of questions and I did a lot of research. Sorry, Louis." Louis, had in fact gotten it, gotten it quite a while ago. He'd pretty much gotten it as soon as Armand had pulled up a picture of the meme that wasn't two obscure Renaissance paintings.
He's not as technologically inept as everyone seems to think he is. Lestat is obsessed with social media. Louis helps him photographs his "thirst traps." (I imagine that's how Louis imagines the word thirst traps in his head.) Which reminds him. He's pretty sure he's due for that meltdown soon enough. It's getting harder to bribe Claudia's friends not to show her her dad's Insta. Louis does, in fact call it Insta. Occasionally 'the 'Gram' when he wants to be silly. Because Lestat. And because he's bribing his daughter's friends to steer away her away from the small empire Lestat has built across various social media websites.
Lestat's been a very benevolent ruler; he loves engaging with his subjects. Louis wishes he would engage a little less because he is very concerned that the one video of Lestat doing the Britney Spears knife dance in his underwear) is going to go viral. Right now, the good citizens of Lestat's fiefdom are hoarding it to themselves, making it their new 'iykyk' wink-wink nudge-nudge. And it was one of the paid streams, but still. Of course it was going to get out. He's just glad the public Lestat subreddit has banned posting it and is being strict about taking it down every time it goes up. (Louis is bizarrely familiar with certain corners of the internet, but he doesn't even know the nyan cat meme. Old? Yes. But standard curriculum for anyone who knows memes. Which Louis does not. The only memes he knows are Lestat memes and they all originated with Lestat. He doesn't even know they're called memes. He just thinks of them as funny edits pointing out Lestat being ridiculous. He can't believe Lestat likes them as much as he does, frankly. I love Louis.)
So, yes. That's another thing St. Louis of New Orleans has on his plate. His daughter's inevitable discovery of her father's social media following and that the real reason all her friends always want to hang out at her house is because they think her dad is hot, not because they're rich (well, they are and that is part of it, but mostly it's because they want to ogle Lestat. They think they're being subtle. They are not. Claudia, so far, has assumed it's because they share the same opinion of her father as she does: that he's a ridiculous idiot and that they're laughing at him, not giggling about Lestat 'just breathed omg!' like the 14 year-olds they are.)
Le sigh. This post was supposed to be about Claudia and her Regina George era and Lestat and Louis getting called to the principal's office and listening to a list of her crimes and making Very Serious faces at her and getting to the car and Louis starting to lecture and Lestat asking why she wasted her time on this instead of taking down the other Ultimate Mean Girl that just moved here who's trying to challenge Claudia's status as the Prettiest and Most Perfect Princess That Ever Walked This Earth Everyone Loves Her Just What Are You Insinuating About My Daughter [insert French insult] (did I already say Lestat is French in every universe? well, if i didn't, he is, and if i did, now you're really certain.)
Anyway, enjoy my crack thoughts about everyone's favorite vampire family.
#iwtv#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#claudia de pointe du lac de lioncourt#just because it's fun#the family that slays together stay together#loutstat#i fully believe that they would give claudia this ridiculous surname#at least in this au#because they're the worst#and the best#they wanted to make that their official surname when they got married#but it was way too much trouble#so they thought they'd just saddle their kid with it lmao#assholes (affectionate)#they really just her to feel like she's a part of their family#to know that both of her parents adore her and wanted her#that they're proud of her and they want everyone to know she's their daughter#and more importantly than that#they got lucky enough to be her fathers#they're a family guys#they're just a regular family#being happy#it's all i want for them#that surname tho#no wonder she's a Mean Girl#claudia runs that school#and her dads

Personally I think I should be rewarded for simply getting out of bed in the morning and getting ready to face another exhausting day
#thw#and don't say something like “ohh the reward is seeing your friends and getting stuff done :)” because nah the bad outweighs the good rn#im talking about i want people to go “oh we're so proud of you we love you we know how difficult that is” but apparently thats unrealistic#need a word that's like “adored and rewarded” but worshipped or deified sound like they'd be too intense#appreciated doesn't really work either#“i wanna get my heavy bones outta bed” - that penelope scott song#i keep thinking it's pennelope#no there's only one N

mickey i need you to know you’re so fucking adorable spiralling into the chaos known as miya atsumu.. i sincerely apologise for dumping fuel on the fire but i cannot stop..
please consider : mbsy having dinner throwing back shots. The topic somehow changes to what piercings appeal to them / what they would personally get. Osamu being the shit stirrer he is knows Atsumu is scared of needles and dares him to get something. Atsumu un(fortunately) has whore tendencies so he immediately goes for nipple piercings instead of the normal lobe (hes hungover and chickens out on the second one)
*Scar nuzzles Mickey’s ankles and struts out while the walls crumble down and screaming ensues*
SCARRRRWHAT THE HELLLLL😭😭😭😭YOU WANT ME DEAD YOU WANT MY HEAD TO FUCKING EXPLODEEE OH MY GODDDD HIM BEING SCARED OF NEEDLES IS SO FUNNY😭😭😭 btw am i stupid is that actually canon and i'm just forgetting it bc that feels SO right lmao like yes . he is afraid of needles. i made a post like an hour ago and i said that he's probably on the verge of fainting whenever he's getting his blood drawn bc he just can't fucking handle it agshdshaggdhsahgdsaghhdgsa
OKAY NO BUT BUT BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A NIPPLE PIERCINGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! he's such a slut jfc............... (hot) i think he tears up from the pain or smth too hsgadghsahgdgsahhgdsahg he's such a baby sometimes. if you happen to be there with them though.......................................... grabs onto your hand for Support and then keeps stealing glances at you to make sure that you're still focusing on him lmao rests his head on your shoulder after its done and it's so painfully obvious that he wants your attention but cmon.. who are you to refuse him anyway................................ asks what do you think of it and if you think he did good GODDDDD HE'S SO STUPID
when osamu mentions that he still needs to get the second one his face goes all pale though lmao he pretends that he's feeling sick or smth to hide the fact he really is just chickening out😭😭😭😭😭😭
#I AM NOT ADORABLE I AM BITING YOU SO HARD#this is torture#he's bullying me#YOU ARE BULLYING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE#i would tease him so bad#(i also hate getting piercings and i would never get a nipple one bc i am . a pussy)#(he doesn't need to know that though)#ok but him with piercings is ......................................................#something very next level#i want him to have an earring too#i think he'd only have a few#in my head#like a lobe one and like a helix one maybe?#both are hoops#no maybe he does have more#but i think they'd just be lobe ones#i feel dizzy i should stop thinking abt this#him .#you want me dead you want me to die#i love you#:333333333333333333#scar <3#friends!!

BAD NEWS BAD NEWS PROMETHEUS IS NOW THE ONE HAUNTING MY THOUGHTS NOT KENIX ANYMORE
#NOOOOOO GET OUTTTTTTT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA#GET THIS FUCKER OUT OF HERE. OUT OF MY HEAD NOWWW#anyway. memento mori: the most important thing in the world Is a very prometheus song.#“Your life never mattered so who cares if it's a waste?”. that line.#prometheus to kenix if i dare to say that. No i will Not Elaborate#there is so many aspects to prometheus/ephai that i wish to explore deeper Man. they're so [EXPLODES]#they seem to be silly and fucked up on the surface but their whole thing is very. Existentialistic if you dig too deep into it#they've come to these conclusions alone. They've brought themselves here by their own actions. They gazed upon the truth with their own eye#and were Scared of it. Yet they have came to this conclusion that everything lacked meaning without the influence of the source#they saw everything as incomplete. there wasn't any purpose. and while trying to deny the truth by gouging their very own eyes out#they have wholeheartedly accepted it. since everything lacked a meaning. They found meaning in the Source. and decided to share it#to share the enlightement meant they had to ffind someone to help them. To find a needed vessel#ephai is very much carmen-like in my head. yeag they'd be the voice of distortion. Yes they'd adore abnormalities.#yomoposting#yomo ocs?!#ephai

I don't know... horrible things happen all around the world and it's not a competition
Atrocities are committed against multiple groups in multiple parts of the world at the exact same moment, and none of them erase each other. They all matter, all the people in this world who are being brutalized matter. There shouldn't be any line you draw where one group doesn't actually matter as much as another
You're welcome to prioritize your energy towards helping one group or another, but what's not ok is invalidating or dismissing people who are actively being harmed
Same goes for trying to figure out which social group has things worst (and lets be honest, always using a US lens)
Like... maybe the important thing is to prop each other up and help everyone get on their own feet rather than trying to... pick fights about if physical disabilities or mental illness are less respected (I'm trying to pick a more absurd example but sadly I've seen exactly that argument happen before). Maybe it doesn't really matter and what matters is helping who we can when we can
I'm tired of it, I'm just fucking tired of it. Support people, champion them when the world is just brutalizing them, but you don't need to throw a single other person under the bus to do that
Which seems to be an absolutely impossible lesson for people to learn
#I won't say anything else on this; but I will say that to me one of the groups that it feels like is most forgotten is Syrians#including by me if I'm honest#I don't know what's currently happening in Syria... but... my understanding is it still hasn't really gotten better#assad is still brutalizing people last I had heard#so rather than saying anything else I'd prefer to simply focus on some people it feels like were forgotten back during Obama#and... and have remained forgotten#and I'm sorry I can't do more to help with the suffering in the world#but... you notice what I'm not having to do here?#I'm not having to throw a single other person under the bus#I'm able to just focus on how much I wish for Syrians to be ok (which is a hollow gesture on my part in many ways I think)#and I can keep all the focus on Syrians rather than throwing anyone else under the bus or doing any whataboutism#and that's literally all I'm asking of you fucking people#don't downplay human misery to try and make your thing seem more important#they're both fucking important... they're all important#there's so much suffering I can't even keep up with it#there's so much of it that I can only name without knowing the details; Congo; I believe Sudan is still suffering; Haiti#I don't know how things are in Ethiopia right now... I can't keep track#and none of these situations and the horrible things they're dealing with; things I haven't even been able to follow#none of it detracts from and of the issues I am following more closely#I don't need to compare them and say 'well it's not as bad'; because... bad is bad and any is too much#and nothing I say here will do a damn thing; no one'll hear and even if they did they'd ignore it or get pissed#that's what my evidence shows me about how people behave#but suffering isn't a competition; the correct amount is zero#and... perhaps I'd have more tolerance if I hadn't watched how you behave with stuff#...the worst part is the person I adore who... man... I wish I could just get them to really think through their words#they mean well; they're coming from a place of love; but I just haven't been able to paint the picture for them of the harm#and I'm flawed; I don't have all the answers; I could be wrong here#but... can you at least see why I feel that maybe we shouldn't pit misery against each other#that the people suffering have more in common with each other than opposed and... maybe westerners aren't fucking helping#eh... too fucking drained thinking about this; end of tags

ouuu,, maybe i seriously Should look into getting horns,,
#.txt#i keep thinking about it. i miss my horns so much#if i could ever get them properly coming out of my forehead that'd be incredible#alas‚ the likelihood of making that in a practical way while Also making it seamless is probably low#small little ram horns on the sides of my head can and will suffice#they'd be adorable too

Also, am Intrigued by infos I have now seen on Natlan
#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. );#//First of all; Kach|na saying she likes to collect shiny gems is so cute#//Second; the Tepetlisaurs are so fucken adorable#The seem so very huggable. Also like they'd break yer ribs if they tried to kjfgkd#//Third; I fucken LOVE Koholasaurs!#//Fourth; Why does K|nich say his ppl value freedom & want Human/Saurian relations built only on trust & support; not contracts#//As if the OTHER tribes don't believe in that and strictly only bonding with saurians by contract#//But also says HE's the outlier of his tribe. Like does he not have his own companion or does he too believe it should only be by contract#//That's kinda wack; bro. If anything that should be the NORM#//Why SHOULDN'T Saurians bond bc they like the person and WANT to; instead of having to get put through a contract?#//Unless he's saying the saurians can't be trust...?#//Idk; thinkings thinkings#//And last but not least; the Yumkasasaurs are THE CUTEST FUCKEN THINGS.

I got reminded the Lacey's series exists and it really left me confused because... People love and praise that but hate on The Painter?
I want to say it's just bias because Lacey's is very well done style wise (the painter has great art but weak presentation), but Lacey's is pure fucking shock content w little substance. That's why I always hated it. And I still do. It's not even surprising.
And it a way it's fitting for it bc it has that strong 2010s/2000s vibes and horror back then was just like that lmao look at any old creepypasta but it's still edgy as shit.
And I don't want this to be me complaining about that series bc that's not my point what I'm complaining about is how I don't understand how the internet ADORED one but hated the other for arguably the same reasons.
But I also want to complain so see y'all in the tags 👍
#luly talks#disclaimer if you like Lacey's games all power to you in fact I'd like to hear why you like them#but to me they're soooo edgy and boring like god. she's just a papercut creepypasta#down to the woo this normal thing is actually very creepy and corrupted!!! like c'mon man#and it'd be okay if it was just that like ok it's just another project and edgy as fuck one but that's fine#but ppl talk of it like it's so terrifying their hair turned white and their dog died of a heart attack for peeking at the screen like bffr#I've seen miku be scarier and sadder m8 c'mon#it's not bad its just overrated <- possessed by the ghost of 2010s straight UP#like w lacey is just one of those times where if you torture a character too much it just comes out as over the top and you stop caring#there's a trope name for this i dont remember it now tho#the painter at least has my doomer gf and her fucked up dog and gets creative#lacey is everything BUT creative#and its not even a matter of wearing your inspirations on your sleeve bc we all know the painter is so fucking camp so 80s slasher#<- they'd have done a header tho i insist#but like. lacey plays everything so straight and predictably so.#i dont get why ppl adore it it's mediocre at best 😭😭

actually, here's one more:
Shane fiddling with Judith's clothes early on, high concentration, furrow between his brows, and she paws at him gleefully with a little sound. He nods, trying to make sense of diapers, maybe, and goes "yeah, googoo gaga, gimme a moment."
Rick, from the couch: "She thinks you're trying and failing to play a game with her, man."
Shane looks up from what he's doing, raises a brow. "What, you trying to mansplain what she's tryna say? Like some misogynist, is that it?"
(Carl, from somewhere in the back: "I wish you two would shut up sometimes." - "Hey, language!")
#they are so stupid I love them#Sharick#my vision is not coming through as clear as I need it to here I feel#just know that they are constantly making fun of each other and their children (Carl) suffer#Judith would probably just emotionally manipulate them by declaring the one 'her dad' who's nicest to her#although I feel they'd adore her too much not to submit to that. fold like cards.#D is trying to talk to Rick and goes 'can I speak to your dad' and Rick goes 'Shane's not here'#'no I meant you' 'oh I lost dad privileges. he's dad today.' '...sorry to hear that'

Do think the funniest thing about res publica AU Michele and Franci is how well that consulship would work. Because now that neither of them has won their stupid bet and there is no next step to climb, politics is all that is left, so they put their heads down and do it. They just enjoy the aspects it grants them - Michele LOVES presiding over the senate and telling people to talk or to shut up, he loves to appear dignified, he loves hashing out things. And Francesco loves that last one, too, he loves to mediate and maybe spur fires on here and there and he gets to be military commander when there's something important. And sure, Michele's bitching, Franci's allies are bitching, but no one distrusts each other. Well, not more than before they came to Rome.
#beablabbers#Plus Michele knows enough to know that Franci is fucked in the head so he is keeping that man on a SHORT leash#in turn Franci is like 'We do have to do something' and spurs Michele on if he is too caught up in planning#storie nostre#miche#franci#I think they'd be decent politicians Michele is an absolutely marvellous leader in LFLS#'why is Franci not bitching' Franci is only bitching about the PETTIEST stuff like half of town saying his adorable fish tank is tacky#or he's cold or hungry or his new hairwax doesn't work#even if he tries to hurt you and make you pay for his mistakes - he doesn't hold grudges#where's the fun in that

I think I mentioned that I was looking into getting a better sewing machine? well, it arrived today 🙈 that happened much faster than planned. I found the model I was looking at at a (relatively) local sewing machine store, for 30% off because it had been in the shop window, so the plastic has yellowed.
I wasn't sure how I felt about that (the website only said it was a floor model or something similar, then someone from the store called and told me the specifics and asked if that was still okay), but honestly? I never ever would have paid the full price, it was just too much, I couldn't justify that. but this reduced price was only a little more than the ones I had been looking at before (that were not great quality and probably wouldn't last very long).
I am very particular about things like this but I'm trying to make myself accept that it really is not that bad. it actually looks kinda cool. I just have to get my brain to accept that it's not a flaw, it's just a completely superficial and insignificant thing that doesn't affect its function at all. it's good that this machine that works perfectly won't end up in a landfill just because it doesn't look brand new.
I only got to try it a little bit today because I wasn't feeling well but damn, the difference to my old machine is huge!! it's so much more fun and easy to use - I love having the needle threader and that it can automatically cut the yarn when you're done. and with the start/stop button it's actually really fun to wind bobbins!! I always hated that on my old machine.
I skimmed through the manual earlier (and put page markers in it so that I can easily find anything later) - it did seem somewhat overwhelming at first. I've never used or even seen (irl) a computerised sewing machine, so of course it did! but it already felt much more familiar after just using it a little bit today. I love it 🥰
(also, I think the fact that it doesn't look perfect and brand new actually helps - I'm not afraid to use it in case I 'ruin' it!)
#I really hope I'll use it a lot#I didn't use my old one much because it was just such a hassle.#mainly little things that didn't work right#and something as simple as the way you have to thread it not being labeled clearly on the machine itself#I've got memory issues and found that very annoying (and in the end I drew the instructions on with sharpie because it got so frustrating)#I've also bought a.. probably stupid amount of little sewing things that I've wanted for years.#and an iron (got the old one second hand for 5€ and it will not stop dripping). and a set of thread (I only had thread that was old and/or#really bad quality. I can only get about 5 colours locally AND it's pretty expensive. so a set made sense... 😬)#it's the same thing every time. I get (more) into a hobby. I buy every fucking thing. I do it all day every day until it stops being the#most interesting thing on earth. and then I pick it up again like once a year but always feel guilty for not doing it enough#annnnyway#I'm very excited about all of it right now#I'm hoping it'll last a while#I mean. I've been interested in sewing for over a decade. I just never had enough money to really get into it the way I'd like#so. I don't think it'll ever completely go away at least#I've bought a bunch of vintage sewing patterns on ebay and I'm really excited to try them#I'm thinking I'll do some baby clothes first - I don't know any babies at the moment but baby clothes are small and also very adorable#so even if I mess up they'd still look cute 😂#and I wouldn't have wasted too much fabric haha#personal

what you guys don't see is my silent brainrots that i would add muses from but they're too obscure/i don't think they'd get any interactions.

Ayooo Burlington score!
[Image Description: A photo of a Mermaid High Oceanna doll still in her packaging. She has brown skin, brown eyes, and long light blue hair pulled into an updo with a few braids. She's wearing a colorful quarter sleeve sports top and has a removable mermaid tail that's pink with blue and yellow accents. Besides her is a skirt matching her top, a pair of matching sneaker wedges, and a plastic yellow seashell. She has a purple, pink and blue gym bag in her arm, and is wearing a pair of magenta shell shaped headphones.]
