MAN-TLE

[radix-outpost]

Coming in at project no. 40: Eternal Sailor Chibi Moon!

The element I was most concerned about was her twintails... which ended up being very easy to figure out, after I stopped stressing about making the base and tips all one piece. :U

She has the exact same body as Saturn, though due to the difference in gauge between my ivory and light peach yarn, Saturn gets the height advantage.

Studia (R14) *end of the round*

Koniec tury wiąże się z odwiedzeniem moich studenciaków. Na samym początku na studia wybrała się trójka simów - Ursula, która wybrała studiowanie biologii, Tashia, która wybrała sztukę oraz Billy, którego wybór padł na ekonomię. Każdego z simów dzieli równy rok.

Tashia jak to Tashia pierwsze czym się zajęła to romansowanie z różnymi simaki. Jak widać miewała w tym wzloty i upadki.

Do grona studentów dołączył również Calvin, który postanowił studiować biologię. Mimo tego, że jest jedynie simem pragnącym bogactwa to romansuje, z każdą możliwą simką.

Pewni simowie przychodzą na studia, a inni z nich odchodzą. Takim oto sposbem Stella jak i Ursula ukończyły uniwersytet z najwyższą możliwą ocenę co sprawi, że będą mogły powrócić do Miłowa z dużymi oszczędnościami.

Do akademika wprowadziła się rownież Wilma wraz ze swoich chłopakiem. Yoosung nie czekał ani chwili i od razu postanowił się oświadczyć.

Wilma postanowiła studiować matematykę, a Yoosung literaturę.

Na sam koniec tury również Tashia pożegnała się ze studiami. Może nie skończyła ich z najwyższą oceną, ale na pewno odchodzi z nich z największą ilością wspomnień.

The last member of DV's core seven (and project 19), Jess! Completed a couple of days ago; I know she looks weird without her shades, but I wasn't confident I could make those work.

This took a fair bit of experimentation--Jess has a very different body type from her pals, so I had to figure out how to make her both wider and shorter. The answer was to double three of the usual increase rounds, then do a normal round to get her to the number she needed to be at before moving up her torso. Jess's limbs are also wider.

Happy February everyone! To start the month of love, I bring to you an amigurumi pattern of on of the most cutest duos: Plusle and Minun! These two Cheering Pokemon are known for using their electric powers to make pom-poms out of sparks in order for them to cheer on their friends. There’s always a special place in my heart for the Pikaclones of each generation and I’ve been dying to crochet one (or in this case, two) of them. I thought they would be perfect to make this month so you can have a pair of two cheerleaders by your side or give them to someone special!

As you can see from the picture, the main differences from Plusle and Minun are their color scheme, cheeks, and tail. Everything else is exactly the same so once you’ve made one, the other will be even easier to work up! More reference pictures will be near the end of the pattern.

TCR Birthday Bash 2019: Day 7- Game Night

So this is probably going to get me either a lot of hate, thrown out of the fandom, or (best case scenario) requests for more. I’m honestly not sure which is worse (worst?) at this point. Either way please enjoy Cards Against Humanity: The Cat Returns Addition. Persephone is a TCR OC that belongs to @tcrmommabear & @sindysugar being used with their permissions.

At this point Hiromi has long since become a frequent visitor to the Bureau after following Haru one day. Meaning Hiromi while not quite as close to the others as Haru is, is still considered a friend.  Also the humans are in their early 20s and knowing my friends and I when we get into the game, potty language. Which really should just be a warning for CAH in general.

Cards Against Humanity (for those that don’t know) is played with two types of cards: Black prompt cards and White (I call them) Reaction cards. A person draws a prompt card and the other players put down their reaction card(s) face down and then replace the number of cards they used. Prompt drawing player flips them over and selects the best reaction card of the round. Best reaction card(s) win the prompt card. Prompt cards use between 1-3 reaction cards.

- - - - - - - - - - -

To be fair, the entire thing was ENTIRELY Hiromi’s fault. Now that’s not to say that Haru didn’t love her best friend, because she did. She also knew EXACTLY what kind of humor Hiromi had. Mix that with a card game who’s box quite literally proclaims it to be “A horrible game for horrible people”. Yeah… It’s all Hiromi’s fault.

Hiromi drew a black prompt card. “’What’s making things awkward in the sauna?’ Ok folks hit me with your best shots.”

Louise puts down a card reading ‘A sales team of clowns and pedophiles.’

Muta chose to use ‘Scrotum tickling.’

Persephone gave it some thought before selecting ‘Cute Boys.’

Baron hesitated before putting down ‘MechaHitler.’

Haru slaps down ‘Full Frontal Nudity.’ with NO HESITATION.

Toto calmly places down ‘Fiery Poops.’

Hiromi reads all the reaction cards before declaring “A sales team of clowns and pedophiles is the winner. Who put that down cuz yeah that would make things awkward?”

Louise raises a hand while smirking. She accepts her prize before drawing a new prompt card, “’Only two things in life are certain: death and (blank).’ Oh my, there are so many ways that could be taken.”

Hiromi slapped down ‘The violation of our most basic human rights.’ as her card.

Muta, thinking of everything that happens regarding any of the groups antics, put down ‘Total fucking chaos.’

Persephone, not having very many good cards, selects ‘The male gaze.’

Baron, knowing how dramatic his sister is, chose ‘Dropping a chandelier on your enemies and riding the rope up.’ (winner)

Haru hemmed and hawed before putting down ‘Kamikaze pilots.’

Toto put down ‘Every ounce of charisma left in Mick Jagger’s tired body.’ hoping to get some laughs.

Louise read the cards out loud, cackling in between them, and said “’Dropping a chandelier on your enemies’ wins. So which one of you called me out like this?”

“I did sister dear, after all between the two of us this is exactly the kind of dramatics you would use.” Snorts echoed around the table, implying that Louise wasn’t the only over-the-top-Gikkingen around.

Newbie N (R14)

Początek tury zaczął się awansem dla Nany. Dodatkowe pieniądze bardzo jej się przydadzą, ponieważ ciągle rosnące długi i przychodzące rachunki nie są łaskawe dla samotnej mamy.

Przyszedł czas aby Kent stał się nastolatkiem. Wyrósł na popularnościowego sima, który uwielbia koszule i marynarki.

Jak to przystało na świeżo upieczone nastolatki Kent udał się do Inter@ctive, w którym kupił sobie nowy telefon oraz poznał kilku rówieśników. W szególności zaprzyjaźnił się z Debbie Scott.

Nana dostała kartę kariery, w której musiała wybrać między posadzeniem do stołu starszej pary lub grupy 25 nastolatków. Postanowiła wybrać drugą opcję co zagwarantowało jej awans.

Nawet po tylu latach Nana nadal ma ogromy uraz do jakiegokolwiek rodzaju związków co sprawia, że decyduje się jedynie na szybkie woohoo co jakiś czas.

Jak widać Kent totalnie zauroczył się w Debbie i bardzo szybko postanowił wyznać jej swoje uczucia. Okazało się, że simka również je odwzajemnia.

Dear Parents: Here’s how to pass a weekend in Brum!

Image: @vspinkuob

About to drop off a loved one to begin an exciting new chapter in their life? You may want to spend a little time exploring the University yourself so you can get a feel for the place and entertain yourself whilst they’re at their welcome lectures. So, we have few suggestions of things you can do over Welcome Weekend while your student is busy!

1. Chill out at Winterbourne

Image: @framesofmoments

Winterbourne House and Gardens is right on our campus (G12 on your campus map) and features a historic Edwardian house and a 7-acre botanical garden. It’s gorgeous.   You can also get a cream tea in the café or explore their second-hand bookshop while you’re there. What better way to escape the crowds and relax?

2. Visit the Lapworth Museum of Geology

Image: @rebecca.louise95

Our Lapworth Museum of Geology is right in the centre of campus (building R5 on the map) and holds the finest and most extensive collection of fossils, minerals and rocks in the Midlands. Dating back to 1880, it is one of the oldest specialist geological museums in the UK. AND we have our very own dinosaur Roary! It’s even got activities for children if you’ve got younger family members with you!

3. Stop off at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts

Image: @what_a_joy

Yet another fantastic attraction right in the heart of campus (R14). The Barber boasts one of the most celebrated small fine art collections in Europe, with works by Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Auguste Rodin, J. M. W. Turner, and Rubens. It also features a concert hall frequented by both the University’s music groups and professionals who regularly perform in the venue.

4.  Explore the city

Image: @meg_alys_

Forget everything you remember about Birmingham – it’s changed! Jump on a train from our station right on campus, it will take you less than 10 minutes to get to Grand Central Station in the heart of  Birmingham city centre. Go shopping in the Bullring and Grand Central, go sightseeing at the top of Birmingham Central Library (offering panoramic views across the whole of Birmingham), or experience some culture at Birmingham Museum and Art gallery. You could also venture down to the Custard Factory in Digbeth for a movie at the Mockingbird, food at Digbeth Dining Club, or try out the UK’s largest zero-waste supermarket, the Clean Kilo.

5. Attend the Parents’ Address!

Of course the most important thing to do is to attend the Parents’ Welcome Address!  This is your chance to be greeted by the University and hear about our all the services we have available for students - from student mentors to our mental health and wellbeing service. It’s a great way to get a comprehensive understanding of all we offer students at UoB and help put a nervous parent’s mind at ease!

Eight senshi in, and I finally did something about the arms. :U If/when I get around to cross-posting my patterns to Dreamwidth, everyone's patterns will be updated.

Note: whether you need four or five rows for the skirts will depend on how your yarn cooperates (or doesn't).
