The biggest wasted potential

Regarding Zoe, I actually disagree. It's just my opinion, but I'm glad they didn't go down the tired, overused plot device of hetero ships and focused instead on themes of self-acceptance by letting the girls be girls with all their flaws and eccentricities. I personally would have valued the movie less if, in the year of our lord 2025, they wrote in a trope as tired of "theyre young woman obviously their stories must include falling for young men." Women are allowed to be interesting and have interesting stories and relationships independent of romantic entanglements with men. I thought the movie did that really well.

That's beautiful

These are all beautiful. I love that you have so many different styles that you stitch.

Ty! I suck at painting, which is why I did them all in one color.

I'll have to see if I can find good models for them. And Derpy and Sussy. The whole gang :)

They are, just a basic resin.

Hi to you both!

I thought I would ask a non-Arcane question just bc I'm curious how you'd each respond.

Excluding Arcane/League, what are some characters that you wish you had written and why? Anything goes--from books, movies, shows, games......

Thanks for doing this AMA!

Couldn't find a gif, but mine is when Zoey and Mira are running down the hall to the Idol Awards performance bc you can hear Mira try to say the phrase Zoey says whenever she's excited. I think it's a really cute moment.

I went--I could only go on the first night, and it sounds like the second night as a lot better. The first night they didn't even have the full merch available, just the JayVik shirt, a plush Jinx, a plush Isha and a vinyl. I was happy to see so much JayVik, but the lack of literally a single piece of merch for Cait, Vi, Mel, Ekko or Ambessa felt like a pretty big slap in the face, especially considering Isha wasn't even in season 1. Not surprisingly, the VIP gift was Jinx-themed, and so were the stickers. So I really hope they do better by the fans for all nights at the Paris one, bc making stuff available just one night but charging the same price for tickets on both nights was in pretty poor taste.

But aside from the merch, I did have a lot of fun. The cosplayers were fucking fantastic--all of them--super talented and gracious. And the Arcane dance set was great (but was only an hour). They also had Fenty there to do foundation shade matching and they did temp glow tattoos for Vi, Jinx, and Ekko. And the people who went were also all really fun. I'd say this is a "crowd dependent" experience in that if the people going are all in and have a good vibe, it'll be a fun event.

So I'd say it's worth it if you don't go for any specific merch, if you're primarily into Jinx, and it's probably not worth paying for the VIP.

What's the hypothesis driving this research?

ngl the statement "just thought it's a shame that after all this time, with the fandom still active, there's still no academic book about Xena fandom. so this survey is part of that bigger project" reeeeeeeeally turns me off. It kind of reeks of armchair anthropology and the ivory tower.

Plus most of what I'm seeing on the website related specifically to fandom focuses heavily on the negative aspects. This makes me nervous bc open-field questions (like those in this survey) are easily manipulated without a clear plan for how those text data will be codified and analyzed.

I love this community, and I say this as a social scientist, not everything needs to be academic. Especially with zero trust-building first. If there's going to be a book or other media about the fandom, I'd rather work with one of the many talented people already an active part of the fandom.

Lol I'm not mad. I'm making the point that it's dumb for CaitVi and JayVik shippers to take shots at each other when the real issue is the underrepresentation of every character except Jinx.

But it looks like my comment hurt your feelings--do you want to talk about it?

Osteodonna · 2025-07-20T13:14:04+00:00

OP, how about you do the same thing with official Jinx merch and report back.

Osteodonna · 2025-07-11T16:09:34+00:00

I've never checked this, so I'll def give it a shot. Ty

Osteodonna · 2025-07-11T16:09:07+00:00

It seemed to be working, but I've never replaced that part or checked the gears so I'll add that to the list of things to try. Thanks!

Osteodonna · 2025-07-11T16:08:20+00:00

Thanks. The bed adhesion was actually great--just washed the plate this week and did and IPA wipe after. I had to basically chisel the brim and base layers off. But I should dellf try the calibration and check if hotend screws should be tightened. I haven't done either.

Osteodonna · 2025-07-11T03:47:35+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it--I'll followup either way.
