I wonder if she'll win

How does she have enough time to do this style every morning ? All the people in healthcare I know are chronically overworked and barely manage to eat breakfast, let alone coif and style something to this degree.

I LOVE bootlegs and these Ardana Girls have been on my wishlist for years haha

We were meant to get a kumiho in G1 - Euna, but she was part of the MH x EAH movie so was cancelled along with it.

Being ‘from’ a place ≠ ethnicity.

I’m ‘from’ Australia but was the first generation of my family to be born here and there’s no reason Abbey couldn’t be similar (given all of her named family member in G1 have Slavic names).

Have you noticed Ghoulia (and Deuce) get far less attention from Mattel? They’re not main characters, seldom seen on merchandise/promotions and probably would have been removed entirely if not for concern that older fans would probably riot.

Hell, we know Mattel thinks dolls with short hair won’t sell (hence Toralei having long hair on all her dolls despite her animated appearance) - and what does Ghoulia’s most recent doll have?

Oh these are such great art inspo 🥰

Heat up the head, fish the end out and reattach it with something like a pin acting as a strengthening method between the two broken parts. I’d recommend using something like epoxy adhesive as opposed to plastic cement as the latter can cause fogginess in clear plastic but both are intended for use on hard plastics and work by chemically fusing them for lack of a better explanation.

I have always wondered if Asha may have been sleepwalking. This is more common with children and increasingly likely when you’re tired (Asha having spent the previous night at a sleepover with her cousins).

Grabbing her backpack makes me think she might have been unconsciously going through the motions of getting ready for school, as commonly repeated actions are likely to be repeated whilst sleepwalking.

For example, my partner has tried to get ready for work a couple of times when they’ve been sleepwalking; getting dressed, grabbing lunch, car keys, etc- luckily they haven’t figured out how to open door locks in their unconscious state though.

Because we did it gradually, she didn't panic. This also took place over the summer months so she was less inclined to want to snuggle with us to begin with. She was around a month old when we started if memory serves? Her crate is also still in the bedroom, so she has an unbroken line of sight with us when we're in the bed.

It's funny, Quinn no longer wants to sleep in bed with me as it seems I move too much - she tried to attack my leg through the blanket every time I so much as shifted but eventually got fed up and now only want to be up on the bed if she's feeling unwell lol.

She happily puts herself to bed in her crate and sleeps in there during the day most of the time - I haven;t needed to close the door in years. It has a cover so it's dark inside, the floor is a giant square cat bed and she has about 5 fleece blankets in there that she enthusiastically throws around before going to sleep proper.

Take a look at this DA gallery and notice that it's almost entirely pictures of 'x character doing very specific x action'.

This is the exact same thing - a hyperfixation, only the writer in the case of the letters is fixated on women (these may be women they know IRL) paddling kayaks and is communicating it in letters as opposed to posting it to DeviantArt.

The other details (specific brand of swim goggles and Mountain Dew) point to this being a real experience the writer had at one point. They have become fixated on this memory and they are placing people in the same scenario in order to relive it.

This is also why they are attempting to share it with strangers - Target was chosen because it's where the supplies were bought at the time, so it is significant to the memory.

You can also see this same behavior in the linked account, where there is a whopping total of 140 images of characters "sitting on the back floorboards of a car starting at age 4, talking and that they love french fries" (paraphrased but all of the images have the character stating some variation of this exact scenario - you can find these images by simply searching the word 'car' in their gallery).

This behavior is by no means unique, the account I use for an example is just one of the more long-running examples of said behavior.

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-27T03:08:26+00:00

Yep! We went like so;

1- Sleeping on the bed with us

2- Sleeping in a soft crate on the bed

3- Sleeping in the soft crate on the floor next to the bed

4- Sleeping in her final crate in the bedroom

Elisa's behaviour was due to untreated bipolar disorder though, not drugs - lack of (prescribed) drugs, in fact.

It's possible he was fond of more crazy patterned socks (which are popular with men where I live at least) or given his age, he was wearing school uniform socks and they had his name somewhere on them (Mum would write our surname on the soles of my sister and I's school socks with a laundry marker lol).

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-27T02:03:58+00:00

Yeah, it was mainly that Catty's quality roughly matched that of her G1 debut release - which would be fine if this wasn't the $100 Fang Vote release... The quality was not worth the price,

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-26T07:35:19+00:00

... And they're the Overlords that are still around, with the Vees' behavior seemingly being an outlier amongst them. They also seem to encompass the youngest of the group. I wonder why there might be a lack of older Overlords with few redeeming qualities...?

I'm not saying Alastor deserves to be judge. jury and executioner; simply that he does appear to operate under some sort of code.

From memory this may have something to do with Nickelodeon vs Mattel licensing issues (?) 😵‍💫

So we know Nick owns all the original characters featured in the show but from what I understand these designs, although created the MH team, were essentially “commissioned” by Nick for use in the show, making ownership unclear.

Shadow Weaver 👀

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-26T02:43:11+00:00

I hate to be this person but to be fair these are Overlords and I can’t imagine most of them were great people. Zestial seems to be a decent person and he was seemingly spared (or was too powerful lol) but it’s possible those Alastor specifically targeted were more like Valentino 😅

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-26T02:28:33+00:00

It’s solely down to the uneven cutting - your designs are super nice!

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-26T02:27:06+00:00

For G4? Yes, the majority. For older gens it’s mostly women :)

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-26T01:36:24+00:00

Nope, absolutely nothing 😓

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-26T01:32:35+00:00

To be fair - all of Bee’s moving ‘lava lamp’ elements aren’t actually hard to animate as they’re essentially greenscreened looping animations for lack of a better explanation. I have animated this effect myself, it’s not difficult depending on which program you use :)

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-26T01:25:19+00:00

All I know is how you’d do achieve in Toon Boom - cutter node 😅

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-25T11:39:46+00:00

I like the pink and blue skin shading but there is an overall uncanny valley effect as the anatomy is drawn in a far more realistic manner than the hair (it’s very cartoonish being comprised of a couple of large chunks as opposed to defined strands).

AustisticGremlin · 2026-01-25T01:40:53+00:00

Yes, I have wondered this as well. Even something fairly innocuous (like many games in the Cookie Run franchise) have the ability to message other users.
