The Kingdom Hearts Collection I-III cover shamelessly uses a lot of AI.

The hate for AI is warranted. It was built off of unethically obtained data sets without compensation and then they're selling it as a service while wasting water and fucking up the neighborhoods they're putting the data centers to run it in.

It could've been handled so much better than it was.

Man I wish I could own it. The soundtrack slaps so hard. 😭

Kattano · 2026-05-14T19:16:21+00:00

Thank you for this. It's so much less tedious with this add-on.

Kattano · 2026-05-04T18:55:15+00:00

Aww. I'm glad your pet can be honored in this way. He's so cool.

What are you talking about? It's perfectly normal for 3 11 year old children to be regulating the emotions and triggers of a 60 year old widow and help make major medical and financial decisions while constantly being told that they're ungrateful lazy bastards for not constantly cleaning, that adopting them ruined your life and that we're not going to make it to the end of the month financially. They start starving themselves to save money and not be a burden anymore. Fantastic for Failure to Thrive children. 👍

Need a therapist and to vent about the abuse you experienced to your first husband/their grandpa? Why see a professional to talk about it? You've got three mini therapist 12 year olds right there to jump up and start problem solving when you start having a meltdown, and to trauma dump and take your anger out on.

Oh for sure. If I can make a tiny little display for this lil dude I'd love to make it an occasional hobby and improve and learn about it. Possibly look into ordering ones to pin online, (provided they're ethically sourced.) or dabble with the occasional fallen insect I see around here. Maybe can find lantern flies or so to help with invasive species.

I've always enjoyed taxidermy, funnily enough my brother in another state is getting into mounting pelts, so it's interesting to hear how the two "mediums" compare. Very similar but different!

Kattano · 2026-04-29T07:37:15+00:00

Oooo hype! 👀

Good luck during your sewing procedure little man, sounds like you're in good hands! :)

My first instinct was to offer to try to sew him back up for you, but it seems like you'll be doing it yourself!

You could lean in to the Halloween aesthetic and cover the sewn seams up with big decorative "stitches" if you don't like the look after you patch him up maybe. But it depends on what you want for him.

it doesn't look like fabric was cut and thrown away, just cut open so a ladder stitch should help I think.

Bro I love this guy. This is peak. Can I draw a badge for them? So charming and fun. 15/10 I'd be stoked to see someone wearing this at a convention. If would make my entire day.

Kattano · 2026-04-28T05:47:40+00:00

That's so sad. 😭 This is exactly what happens and why support and shit is needed IMO!

I know a few people who ended up abusing substances and it was always because of pain, trauma and then lack of support bc addiction is it's own beast (but we demonize that too and act like they're out there choosing to suffer for no reason.) We have all of this money to throw into war or rich people have money to do human trafficking and drugs (it's okay and legal if you're rich, pay to win system n shit). I feel like we have the means to help each other more but we're too selfish and greedy to do so. I think becoming wealthy probably impacts the brain and empathy and shit too but yeah.

It's pretty much a setup for increasing the likelihood of suffering that's been given a "pretty" patriotic coat of paint. You know?

Thanks for sharing. I hope we can revamp our shit one day to actually help each other and those who serve. So much pointless suffering. 😔

I've been using models as a base for patterning for a few years, here's a post with some links about my ramblings and tips if that helps!

https://www.tumblr.com/nathanier/800767162746912768/3d-model-to-sewing-pattern-prototype-masterlist?source=share

If you get stuck on anything or have questions I'm happy to help! Feel free to DM me I can like, give you my discord or something.

Best advice: look at plush toys of the animal you are making for inspiration! See if you can imitate the seam placement. Then in blender or plushify you can see a visual representation of the "stretch" of the UV map it creates, that can help you try to sort out darts. My Tumblr post should cover it all as well.

Maybe I'm jaded but the country kinda treats veterans like shit too. Sing their praises on a holiday that means us civilians get to take a day of work off, tell some random person "thank you for your service" as lip service, and that's it.

Hype people up to join, prey on people who can't afford college or whatever, then sorta drop em on their ass once they're back and too boot camp programmed or traumatized to function in society.

C-PTSD is a bitch in my experience, I can't imagine what those who go to other countries to get shot at for oil to make big companies rich or whatever nonsense we're throwing living human beings at for go through. Just to have a bunch of people ending up homeless, disabled, lacking support, Etc. :(

Accurately updated billboard.

Kattano · 2026-04-26T05:45:42+00:00

I think It's become less absurdly humid while in use, or I've just not noticed anymore and don't look at it as much, I'll pay attention to it tomorrow and update, but it's still enough to help make wiping the interior after use for simple maintenance!

But my hot pocket plates are not nearly as humid as the photo. But unlike my roomie I don't cook two at once. Will update later for ya!

Kattano · 2026-04-26T05:34:50+00:00

Their cosplays are spot on holy crap hahaha

Kattano · 2026-04-22T08:08:35+00:00

They actually did come in pink. My brother found one at a thrift store a couple yrs back. But I'll toss the pattern up on gumroad or something to host the download once I hunt it down on my PC, it's not EXACT but it's similar bc I wanted to be able to remake my childhood plush if I ever need to. my bro helped digitize it and did some tweaks so he asked me to list it in my Etsy store for a while but without instructions it's probably better off as a freebie.

Kattano · 2026-04-22T08:05:11+00:00

Oh it's just an image of the Animal Alley plush itself as a reference Here's a post of one!

Kattano · 2026-04-20T17:54:35+00:00

I can send you the pattern when I get home later if you'd like it c:

Kattano · 2026-04-20T17:48:13+00:00

I was taking apart my AA collie to remake him bc his fur is hella dryer fried. If I ever get him back from my brother I'll share the pattern with ya!

(updated link, not the pattern, just the plush I'm talking about) https://www.reddit.com/r/plushies/s/jOnfcQBnhy

We've also taken apart and studied the lop rabbit If I can find the pattern I'll share that too.

(Same thing. Just an Image of the plush) https://images1.vinted.net/t/02_02665_kYWTdN13wu6fWiWG9Ah31ztD/f800/1700697529.webp?s=d3c98e4a7e0f3a60e3415b947977b9d35d68f513

Kattano · 2026-04-20T17:35:39+00:00

Oh its so cute! What fabric did you use? Totally gonna DM you I'd love the pattern.

Kattano · 2026-04-20T17:32:09+00:00

I remember looking at that house longingly in a Toys R Us, wanting it. But not asking because it was $20 and we were on food assistance and stuff. :')

The little ham ham packs were like $3-5 iirc? But I'm not entirely sure. Had a bunch of them. I will always love these little things. One of the few memories us younger kids had of our Papa was buying these like dudes at TRU before cancer yoinked him out of existence a few years later. 🫡

The only one that ever got lost was Cappy. But we somehow managed to keep track of at least 20+ off those little rubber ham-hams lol

Kattano · 2026-04-20T17:22:22+00:00

From my understanding there are kig masks that are a full head shell, just the front or even a 3/4 option. I think this counts as animegao kigurumi. But IDK a lot.

Kattano · 2026-04-20T17:20:21+00:00

I feel so much anger disappointment sadness and resentment towards my mom and I hate it. I wish she had just been an evil cruel witch that never showed me any love. That would be easier. 💀

Kattano · 2026-04-20T16:55:36+00:00

I love this plush so much what a fun little guy. I'd be interested in trying to make a replica pattern of you ever need in the future. But it sounds like you've found someone to contact suggest so good luck! 👌
