[izzyspussy]

Hi Jack! Some totally random questions to take your mind off things -

1. Ian and Mickey have saved up enough to take a short vacation. Where are they going?

2. What weird/fun/silly ways do they decorate their West Side apartment?

3. Who controls the radio when they drive around for work?

4. What kind of takeout do they get so regularly that the restaurant knows them by name?

5. Are they still wearing the camo outfits for work? And how many times has Ian gotten distracted by Mickey wearing camo?

1. They bicker about going to various tourist spots around the country for weeks, interspersed with both of them at some point doing the pengu pout and saying Well Now I Just Want A Staycation - until finally Ian asks Mickey to take him to Mexico and show him around. Mickey reminds him he wasn't exactly having a fucking gap year abroad or some shit, and that if Mickey really does "show him around" where Mickey went a lot of those places are going to be dangerous and not strictly legal, and Ian says something unbearably sappy about how that makes it Perfect For Them, so much more than any Normal vacation.

2. I don't know basically anything about the west side place, and I really haven't decided what kind of living situation they end up in as Grown Up grown ups in the secret version with nothing I don't like in it that exists in my head yet. However, I think Mickey is a closet dork, and once he can afford it - both fiscally and emotionally - he starts collecting and displaying nerd shit. Specifically I'm thinking he's into X-Men and also pro wrestling, the latter of which is not exactly dorky in the same way BUT we're counting it here because he observes his affinity for it with the same type of nerd shit. He's got mini-figures (NOT lego, I'm talking like D&D model style minifigs) - wait hold up I was looking at the WWE site for ideas on what Mickey would have and discovered the action figures are Mattel branded. So yeah uh. Mickey gets X-Men and WWE Mattel branded action figures, and then gets force-Barbiepilled by The Algorithm qohugakaogks. ANYWAY. Re: decor, there are LED-lit glass shelves in the living spaces with Mickey's action figures on. Ian got him a "matching" set of Van Damme and Seagal for an anniversary, and they have a place of honor above the TV. Every now and then they will ~mysteriously~ end up posed as if they are fucking; both Ian and Mickey always blame this on the other.

ETA: At some point they're looking after one/some of the various children, and the action figures and Barbies get played with (while Mickey pretends very, very badly to be okay with it until he sends himself out of the room so he doesn't yell). Ian is also not paying attention; kid is being quiet but not too quiet, that's all he cares about. Then, after the kid is gone and things are picked up, they realize the Seagal action figure has been put into a Barbie wedding dress (dON'T ask Mickey why he has that!!). Mickey is quite disgruntled by this, and Ian laughs so hard - at the combo of the actual doll situation and the look on Mickey's face about it - that he almost makes himself sick.

3. I REALLY know nothing about their work, but uhhhh. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his pie hole.

4. There's this south side taqueria, maybe a hole in the wall or maybe a food truck. Even if/when they do move away to a better area, nothing beats it. Hell, even if they moved out of town entirely, they'd travel for it. I think I want there to be some kind of loyalty there that isn't just for the quality of the food (which is impeccable regardless). Maybe the owner would give one or both of them free food back in the day, or maybe had an opportunity to snitch on them but didn't, or idk their wedding is completely different To Me but there could still be some mishaps and such so maybe this place was the only one that agreed to cater day-of, or Terry like "blacklisted" Mickey from a bunch of locally owned places under Threat Of Terry and this place was one of few that would still serve him, or whatever. Like, the food itself is phenomenal and they'd have already been eating there previous, but then there was some personal element too that made it Their taqueria. They know everyone there by name too.

5. Mickey has never worn a single stitch of camo ever in his life :)

You were now standing outside Kanade's apartment however it seemed a bit different. The door was unlocked and it was incredibly dark with only a few candles that dimly lit the halls.

'Did a hurricane hit Kanade's house..?' You thought as you could see fallen debris everywhere as well as broken furnitures. It has the atmosphere of a haunted house. Perhaps this was what Mizuki had wanted you to see?

"Ya-hello~? Is anyone home?" You yelled in the house, there didn't feel like there was any life in it. You walked into the apartment cautiously.

*Crunch!*

"EEK WHAT WAS THAT?!" You cried out, slowly embracing yourself to look down. Only to found out that you've stepped on a piece of paper on the ground.

"Oh.. Hahaha, silly me, it's just a piece of paper." As you bent down to reach it. 'Welcome dear guest.. Once you read this, your fate has been sealed! Only way to get out is to continue forward.' And just like that you heard the door behind you shut close with a slam.

"AH-hahaha.. What a nice joke.." You turn around to try to open the door. However..

*Cluck cluck.. CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK*

It was completely shut and wouldn't open. However the shut door had a red writing that kind of looks like blood.

"Welcome!

Have fun with this little haunted house activity we put together for you~

Come and find us! There will be a great surprise at the end if you do 𝅘𝅥𝅮

- Mizuki :P"

Oh.. So it is a haunted house after all. You heaved a sigh of relief glad that Kanade is fine and that the girls had come together to make this for you. You had always liked haunted houses however you were scared of them. It was both terrifying and fun at the same time, you would always go with Mizuki as they were the most enthusiastic to come.

You then proceeded to turn around to continue the haunted house activity moving ever so cautiously to not get scared, when suddenly the place was filled with mist and an eerie music started playing.

"Creepy atmosphere? You must do better than that to scare me." You thought.

- only to jinx yourself as suddenly a hand came out of nowhere out of a painting and tried to grab you. "EEK?!" you immediately jolted away on reflex.

The hand immediately withdraw and what now lies in the painting was a black figure with long hair. "The pain.." The painting softly said.

You recall the horror story the Mizuki told you about and jolted out of the hallway as fast as your legs could take you.

"Wait. It was just a painting. Surely paintings can't chase me.." You look behind you and nothing was there. "Urghh! I spent my energy on nothing." Although now you were in the room full of dolls with eerie red lightings.

As you take a bit of a look around the room. You found many artworks in red, they all look quite terrifying but you could clearly tell the Artstyle was from Ena which made it less terrifying.

"The artstyle is really nice, however Ena draws too well to make this scary.."

"Tha- I mean, look guys! A human, we c-could totally use more blood for these paintings!" You heard a voice behind you. Suddenly you can see multiple dolls slowly standing up from their sitting positions to come after you.

Although you weren't really scared since Ena's artworks seem to calm you down as you know you aren't alone and that this room was Ena's part of the haunted house.

"Hey! Why aren't you scared?! I-I mean we are going to harvest your blood you know?!"

"..Ena I know you're behind the voices of the dolls."

"...How did you know?! I thought I didn't mess-"

"Your artworks were really good to give me a sense of fear, probably because I know its your artstyle which gave me the comfort that you're here with me!"

You took this as an opportunity to dash out the room while Ena was stump at the sudden compliment that she forgot about the part about chasing after you.

"Phew~! That was a bit close. I definitely don't want to be chased by dolls." You were slowly making to the end of the haunted house as there was a light emitting out below of a close door, where you assume was where the surprise was.

Without hesitating, you immediately started sprinting to the end. As you were about to reach it..

"Boo" something walked out of another room and scared you.

"AH! PLEASE DON'T EAT ME-" You fell down shutting your eyes and used your hands to block whatever was in front of you.

You slowly opened your eyes to see a familiar purple haired girl standing in front of you.

"Oh.. Ahaha, it's just you Mafuyu, I t-totally knew it"

"Didn't you just screamed 'don't eat me'-"

"I-Ignore that!! The tiny details don't matter!"

"The tiny detail was you screaming though.."

"Hey! That was a half-ass jumpscare! How did you get more scared of that than my part?!" You looked behind you to see Ena coming out of her room, obviously a bit mad.

"I was only told to jumpscare.."

"Still you could've done a little better?!"

"Ahaha.. Now now, don't fight you two, it's [name]'s birthday."

You turned to see the door in front of you which was emitting light open with a side pony-tailed girl behind it.

"Congrats [name]! You made it, I totally enjoyed your screams~𝅘𝅥𝅮"

"Yeah, congrats [name]" as the last member of N25 came out of the lighted room to congratulate you.

"Mizuki! You're so mean! However this experience was really fun. I really enjoyed it a lot" You praised them for making this for you, after all they all poured their efforts into this.

After this. N25 hosted a birthday party as your gift for going through the haunted house. This was the best birthday you could've ever asked for and won't be forgetting in a long time.

"The haunted house was so amazing the decorations and props made it feel so surreal~!" You chirped happily, thankful that your friend made a full haunted house activity for you.

"Aha, the props was thanks to an old friend of mine, he made the dolls and we could control it. But apparently Ena is so terrible at scaring you, we didn't manage to get that to work."

"Oi! How would I know my art would comfort them?!"

"Mhm.. Can I take off this costume and makeup then.."

"Oh right, I'll help with that Mafuyu, after all I was the one who did it."

You took a closer look at Mafuyu and the makeup looks really well made and terrifying. Mizuki's skills of dressing her up has surprised you.

"Ah right I still have to wash my arm.. Is it okay Ena?"

"Hm, oh yeah, the makeup I used is fairly easy to get off. Just wash it off with water."

"Thanks.."

"Eh?? You all split up the work and cooperate that well to make this whole thing?! I mean.. Everyone worked well except for Ena" you teased a little

"What's that suppose to mean?!"

"That no means you suck!"

Mizuki yelled from the room.

"So loud.."

s2ep2 prime queen

shit we're two for two so far for release order

i also remember this episode specifically being one of the episodes i absolutely despised.

i made a post about it on my ml sideblog i think (or my main), but basically i just found it profoundly uncomfortable that the writers even came up with this idea and green lit it.

i've also mentioned this before, but bc we, the audience, know that chat noir and ladybug are high schoolers/teens, but the rest of the paris doesn't, it can get the writers into trouble. and what i meant by that was exactly what happened in prime queen. prime queen is what i was thinking about when i made that comment.

bc maybe it's a little harmless to the parisians within this world. but to the audience, anyone older than like 22 (i hope) would understand how uncomfortable it is to watch a grown woman harass two teens into confessing their love for each other in front of millions (or thousands at least, i'm bad at estimating).

like i can and can't believe that the writers would write something like this to, idk, fuel love square shipping disc horse, but the only way they could think to do it was have this grown-ass woman harass two teenagers. like even if they'd had this bare bones idea for nadia to be akumatized trying to a get a prime-time tv show, they could have done it a different way. there are other adults in the show. and there are other celebrity adults in the show she could have tried to embarrass/humiliate.

they haven't evolved, nor have they become better writers since the first season. tho i'm not surprised, given when s2 came out, i was just as disappointed with s2 as i was with s1. except now that i'm older and looking at it more critically, i'm realizing just how bad the writing is lmao. and also better able to articulate it (at times; i should stop doing this at night before bed lol)

and maybe i wouldn't be so mad about the way chat noir acts in this episode, again, if adrien was actually treated as a true duexteragonist, rather than a side-character who just happens to be there. and only on occasion actually helps ladybug in a meaningful way.

and this was yet another example of him not helping. bc not only did he keep wanting to kiss ladybug when she had already told him no! but from a writing standpoint, his cataclysm also was useless. there was no point in him using it on the door bc ladybug's miraculous ladybug power would've taken care of it. the writers really couldn't come up with a better way to have him use it? i don't know why i'm surprised anymore that they can't.

finally, of course, marinette being punished for existing. the fact that tikki scolds marinette for treating being ladybug like a celebrity, and then of course, the interview goes badly. so she changes her tune and relays to chat noir that they shouldn't have gotten caught up in appearing on television since they're superheroes. when that wasn't even marinette's intention in the first place!!

small things: how did nadia even ask them? do the people of paris just announce that they're getting ladybug and chat noir to come and these teens have to somehow figure out they're being called on. the person just has to hope they'll show up? like what kind of insane logic is that? and also alya commenting that ladybug has never given her an exclusive interview when. SHE LITERALLY HAS. MARINETTE AS LADYBUG GAVE ALYA AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW FOR HER BLOG WHEN SHE ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE VIDEO OF LADYBUG ACKNOWLEDGING ALYA LAST SEASON.

like listen, i don't keep a lore bible, so i'm not really one to talk (only kinda). but at least i reread my shit to remember what i've already put down.

final comment: hawkmoth's fucking lair at different times of the day is more dynamic than whatever it is the writers are doing with this show.

Ah I love the doll for Lit. She's so pretty! The beaded detail on her heels is so unique! The moon shape and the colors go perfect with oneus and lit. And I love the belt and the colors in her eyeshadow! It's all gorgeous!

Also... I have a question if you don't mind me asking? (If you dont want to answer thats fine!) It looks like this dolls hair is made from yarn wefts. How did you get the yarn to be long enough for the back part? Whenever I've tried combing it out with a pet brush, it always breaks so that it's only Bob length.

Anyway, she's so pretty!! I'd love to see her and the one for Luna together! Maybe when you finish the next one you could do a group shot? (Just a vague request, absolutely no pressure!!) Thank you for sharing your art!

Ahhh, thank you so much!

And I don't mind at all! Yarn wefts are a time-consuming hassle to learn but I've gotten some experience at doing it "wrong" by this point, so I hope I can pass on some advice. It sounds like you're following the standard practice for yarn wefts, so I'll start from that knowledge prereq.

1. It's an absolute must to use 100% acrylic yarn. I tried doing a wool/acrylic blend before, partly because my local yarn shop doesn't sell any 100% acrylic and partly because I just like to see for myself why a "don't" is a "don't," and it broke so so so so much easier.

2. Look for yarn with chunkier weight. The chunkier the weight, the less tightly woven the individual threads are. This make it a lot easier to brush it out because it unravels easier, and naturally the brush will fight the fiber a lot less, resulting in less length lost. I use Lion Brand Hometown USA almost exclusively because it's got an ideal chunky weight and comes in a lot of good colors.

3. Set your expectations - even if everything works out perfectly, you should expect to only get about 4in/10cm for each weft. The wefts tend to taper a lot past the 2 inch mark.

And some general tips from my experience (you might not even need these, but just in case anyone else is reading!!):

- I got frustrated early on that my wefts always seemed to pucker and look weird after straightening - not because the fiber was damaged by the heat, but because it wasn't setting right. I wanted to get them as silky-smooth as dollmakers on YT. So I started combing them right after applying the heat, just like I used to do to my own hair when I'd straighten it. BAM - instantly silky-smoothness.

- Focus on thinner, even, single layer wefts with just a couple of yarn pieces at a time, as opposed to thicker wefts. Because of the taper that naturally happens near the bottom of the wefts, this will help you build volume more realistically. Plus, the thinner wefts glue together so much easier.

- I haven't personally tried this technique yet, but if you want to make a doll with ridiculously long hair using yarn wefts, the sew-in ponytail method seems pretty straightforward. HeXtian used it in his most recent video, and etellan also did it with her Jade redesign. The effect is soooo stunning. I might try something like that for the ASWE doll, idk yet.

Ahhh I've rambled enough. I hope that helps at least a little! And YES!! I intend to do a group shot for sure once I've got more dolls finished in the series. Thank you again!

I got drunk last night.

There's a new waitress and she was so fucking cool! I talked to her for so long. She's a cool chick. My other buddy who knows her longer was mad that I was talking to her. He's already gotten close with her to the point where when he sat by himself all annoyed she was actually like "are you mad at mee" and they've known each other for 2 weeks. I used to make friends this fast too. But not anymore. ANYWAY, yeah he was butthurt, not at me, something else happened. Also the guy that is into her was mean mugging her and my buddy. Cause she gave my buddy all her attention. Lmao. My buddy does that, he really makes other guys jealous cause he is likeable as fuck. But yeah. Anyway. I asked him if he cared if I flirted with her or not. He said he likes her. So I said okay man I won't. And so I didn't. I'm a good friend. My buddy is 31 hahaha. So yeah I was talking to the new gal, she's so funny and she has such a goth name and she named her baby with the same goth tradition. I said those names are very series of unfortunate events. And she got so elated and lit up and said "omg thank you." She had a manga with her and a Chuck palahniuk book with her. Could you get any hotter? Lol. She was the doorman at the bar so she had that with her. Um yeah, I was able to joke around with her easily. She didn't give me her number but she gave me her Facebook. My buddy is closer to her. He got mad and gave me the finger cause I was talking to her and making her laugh. But I didn't flirt with her or anything hardcore. I didn't. He said he knows and trusts me and that he's just kidding. I think they might have gone home together cause I saw them drive together. I let them be, I didn't try to cockblock or intervene amongst them at the end of the night. She told me she got knocked up by this guy she had sex with just once. And my buddy said he looked like me. But she said she wasn't even attracted to him at all and yet she fucked him anyway. Idk why she kept the baby. Oh right, she said she already had an abortion so she promised herself she wouldn't do it again. She was kinda mad when she said that guy is already marrying another girl and knocked her up too. She showed me a pic of him, I mean idk if we look alike, but I guess.

Here's the part that got me confused. So I left them and mingled with other people. I went back to my buddy later. He told me that she actually thinks I'm really nice or cool, but that I'm not her type. She said she likes guys with beer bellies. Lmao little does she know I actually have a belly hehehehe it's just a smol.

But yeah I was like, dude! You two talk about everything!?

But then again she did tell me a lot of information. She's cool. So her and my buddy originally hit it off the first day she started working there because he ordered just one beer and she accidentally rang up his bill for 200 dollars. She was so apologetic. She fixed it... Then fucked it up again! That's so funny. So he had a easy way to fuck with her and he did. They became close with that. He's just sociable too.

So there was another guy that I know. He's known to be a sugar daddy. He was bragging a lot and I asked him what does he do to pull all these ladies blah blah blah, honestly I was just drunk. Then he mentioned that he is going out with the new waitress!! The same one! I was like wtf! I told my buddy this. I was like dude wtf how is this guy fucking every girl for real?

My buddy told her! I was like BRO LOL YOU TELL HER EVERYTHING. But they aren't mad. They just know I'm a messenger. It's okay. So yeah, turns out she actually thinks that guy is creepy as fuck and she only said to him that "maybe" she'll go out with him this week. Haha. That means no. That means a huge no. She said she's creeped out by him. He looks good, just an older dude, uh, kind of douchey, idk, I just know he has a lot of ladies with him. He was with a stripper one time and she was awesome. He was her sugar daddy. BUT APPARENTLY SHE DIDNT LET HIM FUCK. I'm like wow this dude is just frontin, he ain't really all that. He just acts like it. Plus that one night, she was way into my other buddy, I'm pretty sure they fucked haha. Haven't seen her in a while. She was sweet to me. She sells content and nudes and stuff. I haven't seen it, I don't want to, I just remember her telling me that.

So yeah my buddy was saying how the new waitress' ex looks like me, my build, a stick haha (omg me and her joked that we were both sticks, and she has a hilarious anime page called UwU that she added me into) but idk. I am really attracted to this one girl that comes into this bar often. She's absolutely perfect but she always has guys with her. And even when she leaves the guys are like grovelling, talking about her. It makes me stay away. Maybe she would have thought I was hot when I was younger. But idk she rushed behind me as she was racing out the door and she gave me a fake name because she was being called out. It's the first time I ever spoke to her but she was riding my ass trying to run away. idk what happened..maybe tried to avoid her bill? Ionno.
