#damaged toy

Speaking of Recoome's scuffed shoulder, here it is.

It was so hot that the temperature collapsesd the miniature shelf Recoome was standing on. Thankfully this scuff was the only damage.

And honestly, it's so hard to see in person. I never really mind minor damage like this. Even worse breaks over time. Usually I can fix it.

But even if I can't, it makes for a unique piece.

At least that's what I'll tell myself!

But at the end of the day, they're just toys. Plastic and paint. They'll get damaged and deteriorate over time. There's no use crying over a little scratched paint. It's still a fantastic piece.

The very dapper Habersham

Habersham's is a felt and knit dog with a truly interesting backstory. His person wrote:

We met up a little over 6 years ago when we traveled to a little town in North Carolina to take a tour of a house we hoped to build in Ohio.  He (Habersham) was a memento of that trip and the house we fell in love with during it, and has had a spot in our living room ever since. 

Fast forward 6 years, and alas we are within weeks of moving into this very house.  The journey to get here has been long and arduous.  After so many delays we were finally able to start construction, only to have a builder steal money, followed by months of delays and hassles with a new builder.  What was intended to be a dream has been a veritable nightmare, and has taken its toll on us in more ways than I can count.

So, of course, we were excited to have Habersham come along with us to help bring some good energy and fond memories to the house.  Unfortunately our cleaning lady threw him in the basket of dog toys earlier today for some reason and before we discovered him the puppy had.  Alas, he is a little too much like me these days, tattered and a bit worse for the wear.

Here is the diagnosis photos they sent:

What you can't see, is in addition to the leg and muzzle wounds, Habersham also lost the tip of his tail. But otherwise, he really was in good shape, and still quite a dapper fellow.

The plan was just to treat his wounds, but in order to make the scars as inconspicuous as possible, we would take a small transplant of fabric from the back of his head to use to repair his muzzle, then repair the leg with new fabric as needed. No spa for Habersham, the puppy had not been particularly slobbery. :-)

Here he is, just before he went home. Wounds repaired, new nose, new tail tip, and looking dapper and dashing again, ready to grace his new home with luck, smiles, and hugs.

His family wrote:

He looks great!  Thank you for getting that done.  I love that his "patch" is on the back and hardly noticeable.

And Habersham flew home to his new Ohio home.

This was a great haul, and the battle-damaged Godzilla is my favorite. It's my favorite by a lot, actually.

I hope Ezhobi keeps that variant option going for future Godzilla releases.

Thinking of how Jien collects things that remind her of her home during her missions and simple outings, sometimes it can range from one item, a simple souvenirs, but other times it is bags worth of items and she sends them all to her house on the Xianzhou, essentially hoarding all the little things in which she finds a sense of belonging. Her collection grows every time she goes somewhere. It makes me sad.

For a kitty who lounges all day, he sure gets ready for play as soon as you try to fix the bedsheets 🙄

This shot is...well, it's a lot. Let's break it down:

FIRST: I wanna see the storyboarding for this. The direction. The concepts. They pulled off a 270-degree rotation in the whole environment to illustrate several beats of a fight scene. That's REALLY COOL, and a perfect use of the three-dimensional medium. That's the ambition I love to see.

However, the ambition is...well, obviously limited by the assets. It's a big void. We know from the movie just how much more complex the wreckage of Main Street is, and everything just sort of hits the pavement...

...BUT speaking of hitting the pavement, the camera shakes when it gets close to Rexy's feet. They went into this shot and said "When the camera gets close, shake the camera to simulate the weight." It might also just be because of the proximity, but the camera shakes when Rexy snaps her jaws shut--which any Jurassic superfan will know was a brilliant technique used in the final battle of the original Jurassic World.

Now, the character movements are...somewhat choreographed, it feels, but there's also a definite path to all of them. Mitch and Tiff run, Tiff runs into a table. Throws the table, which turns upside-down (the camera even passes in front of it!), runs, panicks and covers herself as Mitch running in from behind an umbrella, Mitch stabs Rexy, who gets mad, throws the table in pain, and the table lands on the guns Sammy is carrying, yanking her back. Darius has to come and rescue her.

Final point: I love that Rexy is using everything in this battle. Teeth, legs, tail, she's a machine. She's a Boss Battle, and the crew is struggling to escape and stay alive.

This is from a PIDW QiJiu AU of mine, where a glitch in The System damages Bingge’s protagonist-halo, allowing Yue Qingyuan to overcome his trap and rescue Shen Qingqiu.

However, YQY has to draw his sword to battle LBH, and his cultivation ends up damaged and weakened. Both SQQ's body and cultivation are damaged from LBH's torture, as well.

And so, with the jianghu and demon realm thrown into disarray, QiJiu retire to a small insignificant town to lay low and heal.

They have to find new meaning in their lives after losing all their power and status, but whatever struggles they face, they'll face them together this time.

Also, they'll fuck. Cause it's a QiJiu AU.
