Hasbro heard about Monster High making a comeback and they came out mad as FUCK with these dolls
#holy FUCK#mlp#mlp g5#equestria girls#i literally havent been this hyped for a doll line in a long time. maybe ever. fucking look at them#they look amazing#how did we go from g4 eqg dolls to THESE#theyre BEAUTIFUL#srry i said text posts were done but this is pony related so its fine#LOOK AT THEM#the face sculpts and screenings. the different heights. the clothing silohettes. the ARTICULATION#buying these the FUCKING SECOND they go on sale. I MUST HAVE THEM#g5 toyline in general has been pretty disappointing and cheap. these have absolutely blown my expectations out of the WATER#not art#sunny is my favorite. her design is amazing#translating the rainbow hair stripe to be on her shirt instead. fantastic#only question is why is izzy the shortest one when shes the tallest pony? but thats not really a complaint. just an observation#look at izzys cute ass boots. the bunny ears....#the clothes are arill hasbro quality and will probably be papery and whatever#but im more focused on the actual designs since im just gonna be displaying them and not really touching them

Atla live action 😐
#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping

lil update post thats mostly rambling tbh
i'm feeling a bit better after a few days of not letting myself ruminate on everything so much. still don't have electricity tho </3 but things are getting better slowlyy. i even managed to draw a lil too
i've adjusted a good bit more to the routine at this point. a lot of people are still struggling out there and once i get my electricity back i'm gonna spread some more resources since wayyy more are available & up-to-date now than what's in my initial post about all this, but for now i'm just lettin y'all know i'm still truckin along 👍
also i wanna give another thanks to yall for spreading that post around so much, even if it's slowed down a lil by now. for those first few days it really felt like we were completely isolated from the world and nobody knew or cared, but i've seen a huge increase in people talking about our situation here since then and it's been surprisingly uplifting. one of the reasons appalachians are such hardheaded motherfuckers is because we're used to having to help each other rather than rely on folks outside the mountains, but seeing y'all expressing sympathies and wanting to help however you can, even if you don't live nearby, has made me feel so much better about our ability to come back from this.
#one of the weirdest parts was getting a couple search & rescue guys at my door the other day#they said they were from texas. i've seen talk of volunteers from just about everywhere in the country#i'm able to safely leave my house now because some construction guys down the road agreed to give the driveway a temporary fix#they were hired by the state but took a break from that job so that my family wouldn't be so trapped#and that dirt road they were originally hired for is lookin the best it's ever been btw. those guys are great at their jobs#places everywhere are giving out a shit ton of cases of water for free & food for cheap / also free#idk i've been really struck by everybody helping each other lately. people talk shit about humanity but i love humanity#when things get desperate we all want to help each other#i gotta end these tags before i keep rambling forever i can save all that shit for a future humanities essay or something#but uh yea there is ur update on how things are going. if u have electricity rn cherish it for me#same with if you have had a shower or done your laundry recently#if u havent done ur laundry yet do it right now. do your laundry for everyone out there who has run completely out of clean clothes#do twnety thousand loads of laundry right now#fuckass storm

König: I need beer. Soap: Woah buddy, I get it but you have guard in half an hour. Cool it. König: I need 500 ml beer, 450 gr flour, bit of salt and some herbs or spices. Soap: And then? König: And then I need a bowl to mix it all and let it rest before baking it for 30-45 min at around 180°C. Soap: And then what? What is this? König: Bread. König: Of course it is bread. What do you think the purpose of this is? Soap: Fucking germans.
#super subtle way of teaching the curious how to make bread#bread is literally so easy and cheap to make if you have an oven#obviously you can swap out the beer with water and yeast#but often some kind of cheap beer is available which makes the process more accessable#and yes beer has yeast in it#könig#könig cod#könig mw2#könig call of duty

Final pictures of the Halloween Dream pair, a commission for @buttercupyarnart. Unfortunately, my husband decided that since we were out of color catcher sheets (used to catch bleeding dye) and instead just used salt to set the dye and prevent future bleeding, he's going to wash it anyway. The black fabric bled everywhere, and salt set it, as well as heat from the dryer. There is nothing I can do, and I am rightfully angered by his carelessness.
We use a laundromat, which is expensive even though it's the lowest cost one he could find. It's why I don't prewash fabric. When we have our own washing machine*, this won't be an issue.
Okay, now for pictures.
Closeups
The mini quilt
Closeups
He'll be getting color catcher sheets before doing laundry next week, no worries about that.
But 76 hours of work, ruined by his carelessness.
#quilt#sewing#handmade#halloween#handquilting#*i want a Speed Queen. They're used by laundromats and made to last. our washing machine died last summer. transmission fluid leaked out#and water got into the engine. less than three years use and $500. we had a repairman come see about fixing it and he explained#this is by design because he sees the same thing in both cheap and expensive models. repairs would've cost $700 and the same thing#would happen again. he suggested a Speed Queen because they will last for decades. especially in a household of 2#unfortunately they're ~$1000 USD which is money we do not have. we spend $80-$100 each month doing laundry but we#can't afford $1000 all in one go. that'll be a future ko-fi goal.

I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent
#I am still very into trash collecting at the moment and even went out and got one of those grabby sticks for cheap and a little#bucket I can carry around and put trash in. so I am going on walks in nature a bit more (not really to enjoy nature but more to play the#very fun Real Life Hidden Object Point And Click Game that is 'hunt for bottle caps and cans' .. but eh.. whatever gets me out of the#house lol).. anyway.. some nature places near water will have cool rocks#Which I know you're not supposed to take them and I MOSTLY dont.. but every once in a while it's like... when else will I ever find a#gouda rock... I have cleaned up 4 buckets of trash today.. I have helped the environment.. mayhaps.. i could take a One Single Rocke as a#treate... ANYWAY. but yeah. I don't know the names of rocks but there's a rock that's a matte muted marigold yellow sort of#color and I call them 'cheese rock'. I'm pretty sure this one is of the 'cheese rock' species but it just has weird brown coloration#like maybe it got stained or something on one side of it. Most of the other cheese rocks have no markings. though sometimes there will be a#auburn reddish sort of hue on a corner or something.. hrmm.. curious. I also got a Beginner's Hobby rock tumbler and some supplies#so I might try polishing some of the rocks from my enormous rock collection. even though they're all street rocks I picked up from sidewalk#and stuff. I saw a video where someone put random gravel and stuff in a rock tumbler and none of them were Stunning Gems or whatver#but some still turned out cool enough that I would be pleased with the result... OUgh.. I want to post more I need to like do costumes and#sculptures and stuff and be Active On Social Media and think about my Future and Career and how it always benefits artists to keep an#active social media or etc. but I just feel so tired and bad lately. I think the summer heat waves have really exhausted me. I also have#been trying to make new friends + on a weird schedule so I've been socializing and also watching media too much. I notice I always start#to feel this kind of unsettled stress of not making any forward progress in my life if I do that for too long. like 'Okay this week I've#done nothing but meet up with two friends & watch like 10 episodes of tv and only worked on a few projects on the side.. this is HORRIBLE!'#(ppl who follow me here that I talk to on discord: this isn't about you! Im specifically just referencing being tired of introductory talks#with a new round of random strangers during my Friend Hunt. Just clarifying so it couldn't be misinterpreted as vaguepost implying that I'm#secretly bothered by talking to you or etc. lol.. anyway) . Which I know to MOST people 'I talked to a lot of friends and watched some cool#stuff!' sounds like a GOOD relaxing time but.. to me it is not ghhj.. Those are 'external' focuses on things outside myself which bothers#me if not moderated. Like.. i MUST retreat internally to work on my worldbuilding and my own thoughts and etc. at very regular intervals or#it will really start to bear on me too much. Brain Mandated Hermit Isolation lol. Just being too detached from my world and stuff for#too long feels increasingly bad. PLUS. every day I don't make tangible progress towards my goals is a day wasted that I could have been#investing in my future by working on novels/games/sculptures/actual career relevant stuff. Not even in a Capitalism way i just genuinely#enjoy Completing Tasks & feel miserable if I don't for too long. EVEN the media I'm watching I turn into A Task since I rank in a detailed#google doc list after viewing lol.. Like EW movie too boring on it's own. NEED to turn it into something I can categorize and analyze ghghj#LOVE to make things more complicated than they need to be. like YAAAY organizational tasks! yaay meticulous sorting!! BOO ''mindless fun''!

Midwest Museum has been on my mind especially after watching friends w my mom and talking about how unfunny that show was. it rolls around in my head because i really like the concept of a story where someone lives somewhat like shit but this is a life they enjoy and want and like
i guess the position of the main character, which is ''i grew up in a decent house with a rich family and i was never hit but i was traumatized to hell and back by every second of my childhood'' to ''im a poor adult with a minimum wage job and a shitty apartment and i have an alcohol problem and my friends are sort of sucky people but ive never felt so happy in my life and you CANNOT take this away from me''. and all that comes with it
#the main protag is like. i like her a lot#she claims shes a femme lesbian but dresses like shit and wears cheap eyeshadow w no mascar and hates heels#and she tries to hit on women who she thinks are lesbians but are just straight girls in tank tops#her best friend enables her alcoholism and is a known trespasser who doesnt like when others are emotional in front of him#and they have a mutual friend whos on some insane mental bender#and they all have to figure out how to prove to the protagonists army vet-turned-office lady rich mother to not come and ruin#this for her. because she wants to live in her shitty 600$/month apartment w her weird neighbor#and she wants to walk to work in the snow in her tredsafes and burn her food in the stove and not know how to boil water correctly#and drink way too much gas station cappucinos and walk around with all her money on her person and not have a bank account

i know it's mainly a joke but... touching grass is genuinely sooo good for you. drank wine in a backyard with my friends all day and now svsss discourse feels like a distant nightmare; just as irrelevant in the real world as like. getting chewed on by a crocodile
#actually in the dream it was either an alligator or a very large pike - the water was murky so it was hard to tell#i live in sweden so pike is lowkey more likely but alas#but tbh#like genuinely if you have the ability i STRONGLY recommend going outside and hanging out with real people sometimes#the drinking is obvs optional but it's kind of a nice reset in a way.#like who's thinking of shen jiu lore when drunk of their balls 😭😭😭😭 not me that's for sure#i was busy making out with oomf sorry#miao#that cheap wine and 10 piece sushi combo really heals you in a way few other things do....

Windmills are such a fantastic feat of engineering
Like, hey, there's all this free air blowing around, why wouldn't we take advantage of it?
Grind up some flour, or olives, or lavis, pump up some water, baby you got yourself a bread!
#okay wait.....#you got plants that grow out of the earth#you got water to mix with those ground up plants#air to wind the mill to grind that plant#and an oven to bake it in#all four elements working in harmony#to create one of the most popular cheap accessible versatile and DELICIOUS foods in all of human history#bread is the Avatar

What I'm Made Of is the most fucking genius final boss song in Sonic bc unlike the others, it’s not from Sonic's POV, it’s from Metal's- because he believes he is the real superior Sonic. From his perspective, he's the underdog protagonist fighting the seemingly invincible antagonist. He gets his own anime intro rock song like Sonic does because he’s convinced he's the real Sonic, and that Sonic is the fake (be it bc he's wholeheartedly deluded himself into thinking he's the original like in the English script or because he's deluded himself into thinking he's a perfected version of him like in the Japanese, either way he's very obviously in a psychotic breakdown and has a distorted view of reality) and the music reflects that. It’s such a fun way to have the non-diagetic parts of the game reflect the story.
#if all of sonic heroes was like the last story it could have blown sonic adventure 2 out of the water and I’ll stand by this forever#and I say this as someone who ADORES sonic adventure 2.#and I’m sorry. but what I’m made of makes live and learn sound like a cheap knockoff by comparison. and again I adore that song!#but what I’m made of is just. peak sonic music. AND it also serves to reflect the narrative in a very cool way!#the fucked up identity issue nightmare between sonic and metal sonic is in general just the best thing tho. heroes and the ova my beloveds
