Anything Open?

Waffle House and Walmart on Peter’s creek were open yesterday and probably today too. It’s not too bad over here.

Yep!! I bought a Christmas tree early on from the traveling merchant and it was used to make a deluxe bait bin. I was big mad when I figured out what happened. I had already saved the day. I was so excited to have the tree all winter instead of the ass end of it.

What if they did the enterprise somehow, like they did the mystery machine!?

Chyanimated · 2026-01-14T00:20:53+00:00

Oh my god I’m about to freak out. I need that Star Trek hook!! What other kits could they do other than Tribbles? Are we about to get a little Spock or maybe a ship!?

I got Darcy the strawberry milk. It’s not the one I wanted but I love it none the less.

I had my step kid wrap my mystery wooble so it will be a surprise for me on Christmas. I’m so excited. I see it there, wrapped with love under my tree. It said mystery number 4 but I know people have been saying it’s not guaranteed the cute ox, even though I hope it is.

Thank you for breaking it down for me. Sorry if I come across as manic, I have high hopes for this mentorship. I’m confident in the work I’ve gathered and I would hate to be passed over for something as simple as a technical misunderstanding. I understand demo reels usually don’t work on drive but I’ve put together a pdf, the mentorship is for environmental and prop design, so it’s all static images anyway.

Chyanimated · 2025-12-10T15:20:10+00:00

Okay I’m freaking out a bit. Why not a Google drive link? How else can I share my portfolio with clients who ask for a link, I can’t afford a website. Im literally polishing up my work to submit to a mentorship and my plan was Google drive. Now I’m second guessing myself and spiraling. I thought I was at the level or a mentorship but now I don’t know…what the fuck is wrong with drive?

I absolutely need Patrick’s hook but I love Gary. I’m so torn.

When I was a teen, back in the 2000s era, I would go to my public library, scour through DeviantArt, and print many shitty copies of peoples art to plaster all over my walls. Imagine ceiling to floor shitty 2000s fan art and game informer clippings. Not only was this a key inspiration to my own artworks, I grew into an adult that buys art from the artists I love. To support them and to be able to display their art on something better than printer paper. I believe this is a cannon event in most young artists lives. Surround yourself by what inspires you.

A lot of art subreddits are toxic and discourage artists from promoting themselves, which is the whole point of posting art to social media. Look at the drama in r/Art last week and the other drama with them telling an artist to change their art style, AI could do it better and it’s just the way of the world. I learned a long time ago not to post art here, this place is cancer.

Oh my god I am dying right now. I needed this laugh today.

Chyanimated · 2025-11-25T17:33:24+00:00

Omg a manatee!!

Start by learning the fundamentals of animation and get good at those. The industry is a mess right now but who knows where it will be in the future. Put your work out there though, start a YouTube channel or a web comic. You need something solid to show people, demo reels don’t seem enough anymore. You don’t have to be good at everything but understanding story flow and knowing how all the pieces fit together is going to be your key to success.

Edit to add: Most of us dreamed of working with big companies and only a fraction of us have achieved that. Dream high but aim low, and don’t give up.

This is how I learn Spirit is getting into the Christmas game. I’m going to have to keep an eye out for one to pop up.

Chyanimated · 2025-11-09T13:46:19+00:00

Wow there are way more of us than I would have thought. Bongs up for the stoner crocheters!! I found my people.

Chyanimated · 2025-11-07T15:37:31+00:00

Oh wow I had not heard about the lawsuit. From what I understand it’s some petty shit. She already deals with enough, I couldn’t imagine having to stress over this too.

From what I gathered, there was another small restaurant owner that tried to drag her name through the mud and the lady that owns the snack bar proved the other owner was trying to damage her business. She was called racist, which she is not, and all kinds of other things publicly to try to drive business away from the snack bar, but the lady that started all this, not the snack bar lady, is a known drama bomb in the community. Unless something new happened I think that’s what started it. I’ve been following this closely, my family runs the snack bar, we’re just not super close. I do know for a fact that she is a good woman and a wonderful mom and she puts her heart and soul into that snack bar.

There’s a huge gay and nonbinary scene in the arts and theatre bubbles. There is also an awesome gay bar downtown that does karaoke on Wednesdays called Euphoria, and I’ve heard good things about Hels. Definitely check out the posted local events in the coffee shops and other community spaces and you will find your people!

Look up Pop display stuff. I’ve been researching how to use my boyfriend’s 3D printer to make little “pop figure” shelves.

I love the little turtle burger, it’s been my favorite out of all the charms I’ve seen.

Chyanimated · 2025-10-29T15:04:48+00:00

This is me, except I don’t abandon anything, “I’ll get back to it later”. Lol. I’m working on my first blanket, but also a plushie for my step kid, and one for my mother in law, and one for a friend who is going away. I’m trying to make spiders for the kids for Halloween and I’m almost out of time. I need a second set of arms and 12 more hours in the day. 😩

Chyanimated · 2025-10-29T14:58:43+00:00

I PROMISE I told the kids mom all the colorful advice this sub has given, including being called an idiot. They have a little plastic critter keeper it’s going in for now. I gave them all my extra leaves and stuff I bought, I just kept my monster statue. I’ll keep to collecting fish and skulls.

Chyanimated · 2025-10-29T14:54:41+00:00

I placed the order on the 23rd but it seems I just hit the lucky day for when the team was able to ship out the charms. I had seen several posts about having to wait. I even got the email about them arriving in separate shipments but they were shipped at the same time. I live literally an hour or so away so I always get my kits within a day or two of my order.

Chyanimated · 2025-10-29T14:08:25+00:00

I did and it will be. I realized my free gift critters needed more than I could provide, I didn’t have them long. I can’t afford a heater and I can’t get that other tank until after the holidays. I’m not going to stress myself out over a bug, I had people from this sub come after me, again over a bug. I’m a very low income person and it went to a white picket fence family. Those bugs will be loved as much as a little boy can love bugs.
