Didn’t even occur to me until that one clown-heavy post that my new son Pansy could be considered a shifty thrift

he has shifty thoughts and intentions, look at that wry lil smile

While the Rockets Ride

Let's lean out of the window a bit for a change, and get our heads out of the safe places and the meanwhile somewhat stale air of familiarity, and in with the fresh air of the new, and hopefully also the unexpected, so that we can breathe a little more freely and also better. But we better keep our feet on the ground, because after all nobody wants to fall out of the window.

A little, one would think, this could have happened to Gene in the 80s, because at that time he has also stood with the toes now and then in the 70s (1). There, however, it was less about exploratory urge, but rather about old junk boxes full of spare parts, which are not exactly rarely mentioned here as I have just realized, and from which Gene (2) obviously liked to help himself. Sometimes more, but also sometimes actually less obviously, as in this case. Nevertheless, the 80's have represented an extreme pole in this respect, when it was a matter of settling annoying obligations concerning Kiss.

Besides, this time Gene must have got a little bit lost in the said spare parts boxes, because he got the one of Ace. Whether on purpose or not, it remains to be seen, this works with Kiss more like in a swingers club anyway. So let's dedicate ourselves to While the City Sleeps and Rocket Ride, while watching the stars and enjoying the fresh night sky air. That fits quite nicely (3).

Side Notes:

(1) Paul not exactly inferior, but Paul was mainly putting his energy into Kiss, and Gene on the other hand, well.

(2) and Paul.

(3) But don't fall out of the window!

My random trinket box :)

I’d like to make more pngs of my own stuff going forward— it’s fun :)

Just wanted to show the fine folks at @shiftythrifting what I did with some of the doll parts they sent me in one of their junk blindboxes :) .

It turns out this tiger head fit on a bootleg MH body perfectly. Not only that, but the vinyl is super soft so I was able to give her some hair. Made a simple wrap dress and veil.

The Kira head fit nicely on a bootleg Barbie body, and I found her a cute outfit off Mercari.

They are loved :)

Sanderson gave Kaladin Marsh's worldview with Kelsier’s charisma and then gave Moash Kelsier’s worldview with Marsh's charisma and I think that was very funny of him.

i like to imagine engineer is a prodigy since they were young when it comes to fixing things or technology related (if possible) then became one of the youngest and talented engineer at a young age, as tike went on they grew into a maiden that everyone has thirst over

You’re actually very spot on with my rendition of the Engineer. Shes pretty young and already super famous (only about 25 or so) and she’s already a millionaire who’s well known in the Android industry for her genius designs and repairs. Aside from the HSR women simping over her, people in general simp for her and can’t help but be drawn to her wherever she goes 😅

A young woman who’s rich and extremely smart? She’s pretty much the hottest bachlorette on the market right now. Every party or gathering you’re invited to that’s hosted by high executives, have you be the center of attention. Not like you enjoy it though, the Engineer would prefer spending her nights holed up in her mansion and tinkering with machinery while a dumb show plays in the background <33

honestly I encourage everyone to get comfortable opening up their electronics. game consoles. computers. phones. keyboards. headphones. whatever. like obviously don't start with the most difficult thing to open up and don't just mindlessly pop open something and lose all the screws and don't do it while its on. but get comfortable looking inside your stuff yourself

its not hard to open up most electronics that don't have an apple logo on them (and even a lot of those are easier than you'd think) and it DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Companies will try to scare you from learning how to care for your own stuff because they get money that way. Warranty stickers are technically illegal in the US but just isn't enforced, and a company can't actually void your warranty if you repair something yourself, so long as you don't break something else in the process.

like I look at threads all the time where people express fear about just opening up a console and looking at the internals to see which version they have but don't be! its easy, its safe, its free! get comfortable with your electronics and learn how to clean and repair stuff yourself, it isn't scary, companies just want you to think it is!

"The family junk box."

Diorama still life oil painting for school worked on and off over the last month or so, finished it last week but only just took pics of it today

This was actually the first time I used oil paint! (though i ended up posting the second still life painting first, that one only took like two painting sessions lol). Really proud of how this came out, excited to do more with oil paint :)

Art thoughts and wips below the cut!

When thinking of what to make, I thought of using some of the junk I've accumulated in my hallway closet. When trying to think of what to pair it with I first thought of the ocean, but then I thought about Ultrakill and was like "hell yeah blood and junk" lmao

More serious ideas then took form as I arranged the materials. I was reminded of the ever present junk in my family's home; old batteries, tangled wires, dead lightbulbs, and such (the alcohol bottles were just for fun lol). I guess themes of abandonment and indecisiveness.

My family has since moved from that house and has split up in our separate ways. We're happier now on the whole, but I sometimes can't help thinking about what we left behind, even the basement junk boxes.

ANYWAYS have some wips :)
