DBFZ Yamcha and Ten cookies...done!!!

Soo I've been on a mission to recreate the Yamcha and Ten cookies from dragon ball fighterz because they're adorable...and they're finally real!! :'D process and info below! (kind of long lol)

I saw someone share these screencaps from the game a while ago and as someone who never played DBFZ I was so charmed at how cute these things are. I wondered if anyone had ever made cookie cutters for them, did a quick search and didn't really find anything, so just kind of moved on.

A few months later I remembered them again and was like, man, I really would love to see these brought to life lol. And I searched again and actually found someone who made them!!... But they weren't selling them anymore. 😭💔

^Reddit post from user ShadowLord898.

So in the next few days I went into the DBFZ game files, figured out how to navigate them and locate/open the proprietary file types (took...a lot of googling), and eventually found the cookie textures!!! Which I then painstakingly traced over to create vectors.

I thought once I had the vectors, it would be easy to drop them into a 3D program and extrude them to make the cookie cutters. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! It's probably just my inexperience working with vectors in 3D programs, but I tried Blender, Fusion 360, and Tinkercad and had problems in each one before finally figuring out the right approach. (I really almost gave up 🤧 but I hadn't realized that your geometry/topology don't need to be perfect when 3D modeling for print as opposed to, like, something you plan to create a texture for.)

Tinkercad and its extremely user friendly interface, plus SVG import functionality, saved me.

Oh then I realized I forgot to reverse the design, which you have to do for a cookie cutter because of how they work. I thought I would need to flip all the vectors and re-import them, recreate the models... but thankfully there's a "flip" button in Tinkercad. Fixed.

I sent the files over to my friend @.theprocrastinatingengineer on Instagram, who has a 3D printing service, and he was able to print them out for me!

While I was waiting for them to ship I downloaded Cura ("slicer" program for preparing 3D files for print) just for fun. (I was really eager...)

And here's when I finally got them!!!

Despite choosing all the dimensions carefully, I was still surprised how dainty they were when I actually held them in my hand. I wasn't sure if they would work...

So I made the dough and everything, used some 5mm thick chopsticks as guides to roll out the dough to the thickness I wanted. I put plastic wrap over the dough to prevent the cutters from directly touching the dough due to food safety concerns. Here is my first attempt to use them:

After this my mindset quickly shifted from caring about food safety to "what's a little more plastic in my system?" / "I'm here for a good time, not a long time!!" / "welll the dough gets baked anyway so that kills the germs it should be fiiine" **I Do Not recommend others to be so careless... also important note: I was the only one eating these so I didn't have to worry about others' safety 🥴

^The difference between using the cutters with and without the plastic wrap.

This first rolling out of the dough was actually a little too thick; in my design I hadn't accounted for the way the dough squishes up when you press the cutter into it. There wasn't enough vertical space at all, and the dough kept getting stuck in the cutter. It was a bad time!!! (didn't get a lot of photos of the failures here because my hands were covered in flour)

After lots of broken cookie cutouts, re-flouring the surface/cutters/rolling pin, and re-rolling the dough to be a bit thinner, I managed to get these out. I had to support Ten's head like a newborn when moving the dough onto the cookie sheet because the connection to the body was so delicate 😢

AND HERE THEY ARE...fully baked and ready 🥹

For the most part I was going to leave them undecorated like how they are in the game. But @.lamichicuenta made this really cute drawing of the cookies where Yamcha had chocolate decorations and Ten was a salty cracker, and I really wanted to try decorating some to resemble those!! Here are the photos of both versions of the cookies the next day once I was able to get some natural light for nicer pics.

(I meant to poke some holes in Ten's cookie to look more like a cracker but I forgot about it until they were already baking.)

They tasted fine...yamcha was better thanks to the chocolate. 🤭

If you read all this, thank you for following my cookie cutter journey... 😌🙏💖

Oh yeah and I made the vectors, 3D print files, and specs/info all available in a google drive folder here for anyone to use if they want! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hQ7uq3leYPK64pGgt3LhFw-70IZnkYzh?usp=drive_link

OH and one last thing, i ended up revising the 3D models to hopefully fix the issue of not enough vertical space. ...turns out I hit the maximum for photos and videos in this post, but you can see it on my twitter here! https://twitter.com/freezebobs/status/1875720926840680678

I didn't get to try these revised models, but they are the ones I put in the drive folder. 😊👍

That. That screentone on Chilchuck’s chest in the low open collar. Is Chilchuck having chest hair canon Kui. Kui? Gripping my knee

Ahhh that classic "refer to your royal advisor as 'chat'" move. Real smooth Laios.

This is the drawing I cried over btw. Yeah the one that made me almost bite my apple pencil in half? Yeah that one.

Huh... I genuinely just now realized that I overdid Laios's bulge 🧍🏽

Ok so boom. sub kaeya x dom amab reader. Reader has had an stressful past few days so kaeya offers to suck reader off. Reader agree because because but after a while it turns from kaeya giving reader an blowjob to reader gripping kaeya's hair and fucks the messy out of his mouth. sorry if this is too detailed

“why don’t you let me help you relax, hm?”

kaeya’s smooth voice rang into your ears, your hands resting on his waist while his hands rest on your shoulders, his hot breath hitting your neck which sent shivers down your spine.

kaeya knows how stressed out you’ve been these past few days. your work has absolutely kicked you in the ass, always having to put stuff on your mind and not take any breaks or relax at any time, but however, you’re finally able to, but you still can’t get all of those thoughts away.

so when kaeya popped the question, you can’t ever refuse him. you’ve been wanting to get under the sheets with him anyway.

you sat on the edge of the bed with your legs parted ever so slightly, with kaeya down on his knees and his hands resting on the inners of your thighs, with his warm mouth wrapped around your cock. you’d let out groans at the way he sucks you off, occasionally he’d move his hand around the base of your cock and jerk off what he couldn’t reach. but it wasn’t enough.

you needed more.

eventually, you’re stood up, hand fisting into his dark blue hair and thrust your cock deep in his mouth. he’s grabbing the sides of your thighs, nails digging into them as drool escapes from the corners of his mouth and tears threatening to spill out of his eye. he’s not denying that he’s enjoying the treatment you’re giving him.

he’s got a good gag reflex anyway.

Judas Kiss / Betrayal

For day 2 of @gortash-week (and ironically done b4 Larian dropped that kiss bit). Alongside smth else that'll follow suit later cuz this prompt rewired my brain. Close ups under cut.

Based on the Statue 'Judas Kiss / Bacio di Giuda' in St. John Lateran in Rome (except I flicked the side cuz of hair logistic reasons)
