i've started another model lmao

basic af but cute, I've got the other one for being more distinct

getting a haircut tho just really made me wanna try to incorporate it in something new

(.... seeing the printed out versions of the business cards i put together and lowkey I'm proud it looks legit)

oh no don't take this as a sign that i want to keep doing these random favours

cute!!!

Put her on a business card, imo.

Dillos, Inc.

There's probably a more suggestive business name for Dillos, but it's too early for me to think of it.

Chucky movies beated (well, not the 2019 reboot yet)

first two Child's Play were fine, the third got boring... but then Bride & Seed got real fun! Definitely just feels like pure comedy at that point but then again I don't think any of them were scary. Seed can be a bit dated on gender, but it's absolutely impressive for 2004 so I appreciate it. I hear the TV series does it better with a more modern grasp

Curse of Chucky definitely took the series another way again, but this time actually doing well to bring an actual sense of horror to the series with a tight family massacre plot that gives really neat tie-backs in the end.

... Cult of Chucky tho what the fuck? it feels like it just through everything out the window, a surprisingly disappointing follow-up for what I thought the previous entry left as good footing.

Can you elaborate on both halves? What was dated and what was impressive?

spoilers because i didn't even watch it til yesterday so who knows others reading lmao

so yeah Curse of Chucky has the child of Chucky x Tiffany: Glen, where the issue of gender first comes up when they pee their pants, the parents remove Glen's pants, and they got nothin' down there. This is leads to the debate where Chucky insists their child is just a late bloomer, naming them Glen - but Tiffany believes their child is a daughter, Glenda.

To start with, their names are actually reference to a 1950s, Glen or Glenda. Again also incredible for its time but dated today as a story inspired trans woman but instead made on transvestism, more in line with the director/writer.

But yeah that's just background! Honestly it shows earnest insight to use such a reference. As for Seed of Chucky that beginning argument of Glen/da's gender based around their genitals is a reinforcement of the bioessentialist view that genitals = gender. Glen at the time isn't really introduced to be particularly androgynous, as the narrative defaults them as male throughout the film - but whatever it's silly but a springboard into the topic of gender identity.

At the same time though, Glen/da's perspective is treated as ambiguous. When asked which they are, Glen/da responds that they don't know. They were abandoned at birth and that wasn't a consideration they grew up to have. They respond further saying that they can identify with both, that they feel like a boy, but also like a girl. The conversation feels incredibly validating, that Glen/da isn't wrong to feel this way, and that any decision would be right for them. There are some crass jokes about it from Chucky sure, but I mean yeah it's Chucky and even then he's not exactly hateful about it.

Unfortunately the insightful references also lead into played out harmful tropes. Glen throughout the movie is depicted as an innocent child who til meeting his parents believed murder to be wrong. When they first embrace their identity as Glenda however, she is revealed as an unhinged murderer playing into the all-to-common crossdressing killer trope like the iconic features of Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, or even Rocky Horror Picture Show. At this point Glen/da is instead depicted not as one non-binary person, but as a split personality where the female identity is the unhinged lunatic as a counterpount to the default timid male persona, like Norman Bates transforming into his mother.

Part of it you can accept as this is a horror movie, they're the child of Chucky & Tiff, you *knew* they'd turn out murderous like their parents, but the way they did it is riddled with problems. And at the same time, they also portray insightful consideration for Glen/da's questioning identity affording validation to the different forms of expression. Unfortunately the form depicted in the end is of the harmful tropes and Glen/da results into splitting their soul into the bodies of two newborn children, one girl and one boy.

You've failed the One Dillos Challenge by drawing two dillos.

oh no so close to the end of the topic too

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/8/7/AAeYFbAAEnv7.jpg

day 2 progress, almost done inking... but now too sleepy get the dillo ears & tail done. also the fishnet sleeves aren't quite separated yet, I'm still thinking of how to really do the arms for ringing... thinking I'll just forego the arm/forearm layer separation and leave it to broader arm movement only, maybe with a warp deformer to manipulate the different arm segments

when your dad finally mentions directly to you that he saw your coming out FB post and his resulting monologue has you looking up the symptoms of dementia

bruh what was that

like it's not even that he criticized me or anything he just want on this incredibly long tirade about how he's the most supportive person and all the people on facebook are just commenting to look good. he spent more time listing off any positive societal contribution he's made, from donating for cancer to "my father worked for the community too and we come from a long line of supportive people"

wtf

he also wants to write up a big post to trump anyone elses post and he wants me to proofread it - all while saying he doesn't care what anyone else thinks

just ugh please for the love of god stop making everything about you

Darn, that sounds awkward to deal with. Sorry to hear about that. At least he's not openly hostile I guess.

yeahhhh he kinda ambushed me with these rants when he called me over to give me Wendys

so I'm just nervously standing at the kitchen counter absolutely inhaling down my poutine & frosty waiting for his speech to be over and trying not to be too obviously avoiding eye contact

lmaoyaa

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/7/4/AAeYFbAAEn6q.jpg

although i'm not sure why the fishnet sleeves multiplication layer stopped functioning correctly huh i'll have to re-make that part

link parts so half-assed like them boots but hey just fun

Oh the Link alt fit looks good

Very cute.

what about symptoms of narcissism

so it appears we're making a deal on rent that lets me move into the bigger bedroom which thank fucking god but then he's still incredibly hesitant when making up timelines that i can do the switch so it feels like a believe it when i see it situation for me so I argued not paying the full rent until I'm actually allowed to switch the rooms

but also lmao he's dillusional enough to now think he can rent out my current room to borders.... good ass luck with that one with this tiny ass box with paper-thin walls in a hostile living environment shared with someone who frankly requires a caretaker of his own

he's also given up looking for jobs realizing nobody wants to hire him as an in-person teacher so instead he's returning to university taking classes to fill his days this coming term and I just know like every other time it's just gonna pile on stress he can't handle again

relating to that narcissistic trait again he previously took an indigenous studies class and he would complain to me saying that he knows more than his indigenous professor because he can't accept being wrong about something

So you've been stuck in a small room while there's been a bigger unused room? The whole time you've been there?

nah the bigger room is his but he doesn't like to use it because the air conditioning doesn't really get there, he complains about the ventilation, he can't breathe, it's hot, so he often wakes up in the night and moves to sleep on the livingroom couch

there is also a den... but again it's another tiny room that can barely fit any of the beds we have so last month me 'n gsis finally convinced him to turn it into an office and put his computer in there, and we moved the 3rd bed that WAS in there out into the livingroom since he so often sleeps there anyways

it seems the biggest reason he wants to keep the big bedroom though is because it has its own bathroom with a stand-up shower and he fears slipping and falling in the normal bathroom

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/5/6/AAeYFbAAEoDw.png

roughly pulling scale from my ass but yeah his plan is he takes the livingroom & den, i take master room, border takes small room

Earlier when you said he was looking from the balcony to see if you were awake, I took that to think there was like a second floor and he could see in through a window or something, but no he just went outside to peer through the window, lol. (Though in hindsight a window leading to the inside of the house would've made less sense.)

Also that ??? is leading me to believe you have a secret spider room there too.

I suspect the ??? exists solely to prevent the that room from being suitable for functioning as a 3rd bedroom

anyones rn i'm looking up about meta's Threads app and it has instead lead me to discover that there exists a video chat app that goes by the name "joi" and my brain instantly flashes the joker meme

day 4

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/3/9/AAeYFbAAEoIL.jpg

lines coloured, started shading head... caught up experimenting with hair colouring hmmmm

i am a blonde addict but i also tend to try to stick some green highlights somewhere but this time i didn't really have an simple strand or too to seperate so I experiment bleeding some colour throughout and mixing up the blonde shades in the bangs and I'm liking it!

whenever i make these post updates tho lol i keep catching some messy work for me to clean up later but hey that's good and why i like posting updates

shadings p much done

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/1/5/AAeYFbAAEoUT.jpg

pondering though.... I can't imagine the rigging will be easy going by my current experience with moving parts showing awkward overlaps with shaded pies. I may have to look up about it or I might even just see what a very simple basic shapes style of shading could look like

<3

gdad updates he's fucking driving me insane with his hairdresser infatuation again

he calls me over to help him out with something... and it's to write a fucking 5* review for the hairdresser's shop

and he already did it

it's right there, his review, on the screen, 5 stars and creepy ass over-personal text

so what's the problem? HE WANTS TO WRITE MORE OF THEM

i google it up because fucking whatever if you wanna do this dumb creepy shit suit yourself but in doing so I discover the issue is that Google - obviously - doesn't LET you write multiple reviews for the same establishment, because DUH

but he won't fucking believe me when I tell him that and here he is hyperventilating and getting mad because he doesn't like the reality and he's going on about how of course you can he's got multiple reviews in there - so I check, because sure it does say he has 3 other reviews... but they're all for 3 different places. dude. still not convinced, he says he made a review for the haircutter before 3 months ago, but then two days ago when he made the latest review he made a mistake and accidentally deleted the old one and he wanted them both to stay

BUT YOU CAN'T, THAT'S THE POINT, YOU DELETED THE OLD ONE BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY GOOGLE WILL LET YOU WRITE A NEW ONE BECAUSE I REPEAT, FUCKING DUHHHHH

SKJADHFLKAJSDHFKLJASDHFKLJASHDKLFJ

Can't he just make a new Google account?

if i attempt to teach him to break legitimate boundries I will be trapped in a dog kennel for the rest of my days okay

Fair point.

Is he ok

i don't think so

since watching Get Out i've seen actors from it again a couple other movies i just so happened to watch

first the girlfriend starring in M3gan, then the best friend appearing in Bird Box

I guess technically the main character reappearing for Nope but that's already sharing Jordan Peele so it feels connected while the other ones had me going oh hey it's them again

</normal observations someone who actually watches movies often probably wouldn't think twice of>

threads reminded me to check my neopets account and for once i had a good stock price on my account

hell yeah 250k neopoints profit SELL SELL SELL

Brb checking stonks

it was a 1,440% price change for me with them BUZZ stocks

Nigel the Chia charges 20 NP as commission.

Im ripping this guy off

i wish the real world worked like neopets

is neopets a thing again

it never stopped!

they've redesigned a lot but at the same time they've left plenty pages all the same and it's jarring

but also you can have more than 4 pets now, googling says it's 6 by default but you can upgrade your account for up to 20 (+4 for a subscription, +10 independently purchasable for 500 neocash each)

They tried to redesign it so its more mobile friendly, but like fired half the staff at one point. and also all the flash games are gone.

So it's like a half finished wip

I only login during the Advent Calendar in December and that's it.

So my pets are only fed for 1 month in the entire year.

that's pretty much how it goes for me! although I never actually end up consistently logging in for advent

m night shyamalan movie watchthrough update: signs beated

boring but also i kept thinking "man how does that kid keep making me think he's macaulay culkin, this was filmed way later than home alone he can't still be a kid"

before i realized rory exists oh (huh he was in scream 4? oops)

but yeah watching Signs just gives me more appreciation for Nope

Unbreakable was alright tho..... very very very slow but i actually like the plot on paper and performances of the leads (sam jackson obv)

I think a few years ago flash was basically discontinued and I think even a lot of browsers stopped supporting it. you can still download a flash player to use on your desktop, and get the files for old flash games to be able to play them, but yeah... given how much of neopets was tied to this identity of being 'a website with a bunch of flash games' I basically assumed the site had been killed by this anti-flash movement.
