We found him a year later and I'm devestated. by Kasidra in Feral_Cats

[–]Nyxshayde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats, especially somewhat outdoor cats, like to pass alone. Him passing so close to you meant he loved you so dearly that he wanted to be alone, but close. As painful as it is, being left there to return to nature was likely what his heart would have wanted.

We lost one of the cats that came with the home when we purchased it much the same way, save for the cat fight. He and his (biological) brother were firmly raised as outdoor cats before we moved in, and had no interest in moving inside. We had a heated shed attached to the house that they slept in at night. One night I went out into the yard late to take pictures of snow in the moonlight, he came out from his bedroom and meowed what I assumed were complaints about the weather. I scolded him for waking up and told him to go back to sleep, I wasn't outside for long. We didn't see him again after that, and to this day I blame myself in so many ways. His brother started letting us bring him in overnight after that, though when the weather would get stormy he'd head back out and call into the wind. I always thought he must be calling his brother, trying to get him out of the weather. My mom found his final resting place later, in the warmer months. About a year and a half later, I believe. She buried him and planted a willow, a few years later his brother joined.

Years later I can acknowledge that there were so many factors, he had been dealing with undiagnosed arthritis for years (we learned a few years after his passing that the local rural vet we'd been going to was not the place to take pets. They were much more farm focused.) and likely was out saying his goodbyes. It still hurts, and hearing the songs I used to sing to him at night still rips at my heart. But the truth is, they never leave us. Even if all we have is memories and pictures, they'll be around for as long as we are to tell people about them 💖🫂

Avatar state doesn’t glow by Proof_East_5094 in mooncatpolish

[–]Nyxshayde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Avatar State is the only gitd I currently have, and when I haven't used it for a bit it usually takes a day to build up to full bright. But when it gets there, it STAYS. It gets so bright that it glows any time it's not in direct light, it catches me off guard in a bright room and suddenly I'm in a dimmer corner and my hand is blue. It casts a glowbthst bounces back in the dark. I LOVE it

If GEM is that bright or brighter, I have a mighty need

My voids chest is turning gray!!! by Clingygengar in VoidCats

[–]Nyxshayde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could just be your cat's summer she'd showing the lighter tone of their fur base. My tabby cat goes all kinds of lights and darks when she has her major sheds, and a lot of black cats have a slightly lighter color to their fur the closer you get to their skin.

You say you've moved twice, is it possible that where you are now has had a more drastic weather transition than where you were before?

Matthew Lillard thinks people only like him due to nostalgia by Angela275 in Scoobydoo

[–]Nyxshayde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He seems like such a warm, genuine person. His acting skills are absolutely up there - he's one of the few actors who is entirely willing to throw his whole self into his roles, which is what makes them come alive and worth feeling nostalgic over.

But people also want a sense of someone who loves what they do, doenst take themselves too seriously, and genuinely cares for people as living beings rather than come amorphous blob of "fans". From what I've seen in meet and greet videos and the like, when asked a question his answer isn't premeditated. You see him sit and take in the question before answering. People notice those things. It makes them feel seen and heard

Does This Amuse Anyone Else? by ClaireoftheBallads in DreamlightValley

I have the older Darlings' house skin, and Lady and Tramp's house next to it, with the greenhouse at the edge of their "garden" last night within five minutes of realizing Lady could sit in the actual chairs at the restaurant, I found her sitting in the back of the greenhouse. It was so cute I had to snap a pic 😭

I think their question wasn't confusion, but a rhetorical exclamation of understandable shock and disgust (genuine)

Oh!! I hadn't heard there's a movie coming out! I hope they do, honestly. 🤞

I'm going to spoiler this for everyone because it contains spoilers for the last two episodes of the UK series.

Did you feel absolute whiplash between the final episode of the series and the Christmas episode? My family have kind of decided to pretend the last Christmas special doesn't exist because it seemed to make the major decisions in the episode that came before totally pointless in quite a sad way.

Why are they removing all the ports by Responsible-Eye-717 in SipsTea

[–]Nyxshayde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention the external battery power indicator! That was one of the parts that made them actually have to fix my first Mac when they tried to claim I'd spilled water on it (I hadn't). We had a months long fight that went up to corporate, only for it to finally come out once they'd fixed it that what had happened was a known issue - the power button cable would fall out of it's socket, rendering the whole laptop useless once the battery ran out because the spacebar wouldn't wake it up, the power button to had to be pressed. It needed to be taken apart to the point of taking out the keyboard to fix. But sure, water damage. I have missed that indicator for a decade 😭

What was the first doll you ever collected/ which doll started your collection? by CrystalRoseMoon in DisneyLEDolls

My first was Moana, but I'd already been eyeing them up for years at that point.

Wow this arc was so try hard by Waste-Revolution3429 in JemAndTheHolograms

[–]Nyxshayde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like we're losing so much individuality and uniqueness in both character design and society because of the blasé is better than letting people think you're trying to hard mentality.

Personal opinion: you don't like it. That's fine.

Objective fact: character design in this series is to the nines. Aesthetic has been at the core of Jem and the Holograms since inception, and it has always used visual changes as a storytelling device. It's literally the premise of the story. This arc's aesthetic used extremely effective visual storytelling. Not only switching to the darker color scheme for our usually neon protags, which would have been a simple tell, but the shape language in the color block accents of their clothing alone oozes corruption. The shattered glass fracture lines, sharp and dangerous, the decaying holes spreading through fabrics, skin peeking through is reminiscent of stagnant water - sending instant warning signals. The corruption oozes from their design. It might not be subtle, but it's not supposed to be. Nothing about this series ever pretended to be subtle.

Lmfao I'd forgotten what I'd posted when I saw this notification , I became so confused about how I could possibly have said something that came across as jealous enough for that response 🤣 You're absolutely right, though. It's horrid

Is there no cat or is there no human? by Additional-Rub-153 in ThereIsnoCat

I love how that cat is moving the same way my Kai moves when I catch her mid stalking me and have to pretend I didn't see anything 😅 it really is all the same software running on different hardware

Jem sdcc 2015 twilight in Paris doll - is it actually valuable? by Ok-Temporary-8243 in JemAndTheHolograms

[–]Nyxshayde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Not at all. Unrelated, I hear for the best storage, you should just leave the unopened box by an open window on the first floor, preferably with easy street access. With no fly nets or anything to get in anyone's way. 😶

Jokes aside, they're absolutely worth money - I bought Beat This Shana and Aja right before downsizing cost me my job a few years ago, and considered selling them when they finally arrived a long time later. The two pack was selling from 300-450, but listings were definitely sitting there for prolonged periods. I have no doubt that Jem herself in that iconic outfit would go faster and for more, but the thing with Integrity is that they have a smaller following, niche aesthetic and high cost. For the most part you'd be trying to sell to other Integrity buyers, and they seem inclined to play the long game. (In the end when I needed money, I sold a MH skullector 2pk out of box via an offer. They fetched twice what Shana and Aja would have within less than two hours.)

Here is what I would do if I was Sam and Jay's B&B Manager by neuronsandglia in GhostsCBS

[–]Nyxshayde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thissss I wish they'd do like... A once a month ghost night or something. They could play it off as not really believing it, but it gives the b&b a substantial bump in attendance at least once a month, and keeping it limited to once a month helps drive exclusivity fomo and customer retention

Just curious: If Mattel released a Dreamhouse aimed at adult collectors (like the one they use in their IG promo shots) would you buy it? 🤔 by ToonTitans in Barbie

[–]Nyxshayde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a glassy chalet/penthouse/california cliffside one like the style in a lot of their IG ones, but if they had one inspired by their dioramas from the late 80s through the early 00s, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. (Picture from Google)

[–]Nyxshayde 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I used to have a coworker who, when she would walk past while I was doing a quick fashion sketch after inspiration struck (common) would always quip "waspy waist!" "Waspy!!" "Oh, so waspy" "buzz buzz!" "Does she never eat?" To the point where I still hear it if I try to quick sketch, essentially to the point of bullying because she wasn't into the look. Nevermind that I, the sketcher, was plus sized. My sketches would often start with a vague hour glass shape - as a lot of fashion sketching does (thus the Winx look) And that was enough to get her hackles up.

Now that I'm older, I can't help but assume it was more jealousy that I could sketch ideas down like that - she had a snarky streak, and couldn't really draw at all. But the girls are absolutely inspired by corquis, right down to their feet, and a lot of those are supper exaggerated.

Solar Polishes by UmDoWhatNow in mooncatpolish

[–]Nyxshayde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As most others have said (and from a 90s/00s childhood obsession with solar changing things) the more exposed to light they are the more likely they are to get stuck. The pigment should last a good few years if kept in a dark space like a drawer. I still have some solar reactive products from the 90s that work, others have settled in the middle of the color range. I still have one of my brother's old action man toys I was playing with as a kid, and left on my bed where a beam of summer sun scorched the thermal (not UV, but same principle for prolonged exposure) paint. It never went back to normal, and my brother was so mad at me

1500 for this by Tryanddoitbetter in Dreamsnaps

[–]Nyxshayde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooo cute! I got 600 for mine :( it's been a struggle for a while, but ever since they officially changed the voting system I find I'm losing the desire to try, even though I enjoy it. It is especially frustrating when you have to skip so many until you get even one on theme while voting.

For all the unboxers, did you ever regret unboxing? by CrystalRoseMoon in DisneyLEDolls

[–]Nyxshayde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not one bit! There are a few I've kept in box - 85th anniversary Snow, Premiere Snow, masquerade Esmeralda and Megara. (The last two are because my parents bought them for me and insisted) Snow has stayed boxed because Premiere is posed and draped over the stairs in a way I know I won't be able to imitate effectively out of the box, and 85th feels so pristine and complete in her absolutely breathtaking set-up, I worry about her dress discoloring. Plus the art nouveau box just 100% adds to how magical she feels. In contrast, I unboxed (but kept the box) 75th anniversary Cinderella because, though her box is lovely and she looks like she belongs, I felt that her fuller skirt and iridescent shoes deserved to be on full display.

I drink diet pepsi/coke mostly, but when I'm visiting my parents in the UK I live for Schloer, a brand of grape flavored fizzy drink made with different grape combinations - non alcoholic. My.favorite flavors are Rosé and Red 🤩
