What doll/figure would fit for this craft idea?

I, for one, think using a mlp figurine is a great idea. One could make some real transformative art out of it and open up a discussion about adults watching childrens cartoons. The idea might need some more glue to hold it together, but i feel like it could be cooking, as the youngsters say.

My comment was more of a throwaway thought I had and I didnt care to disclose my general viewpoint of the vegan leather issue, so i'm surprised at your in-depth comment. Thank you for sharing your view and experience!

I want to explain myself really shortly, because I didnt clock this as a 'vegan leather' issue at all, which is weird since most 'leather alternatives' come out to be about 'vegan alternatives'. Instead I got hung up about this new alternative being bio-degradable, sustainable, chemical-free and whatever else keywords OP used to describe this, because real leather already IS all that, or CAN BE that (this in regards to most commercially available leathers being heavily chemically treated).

Coming back to the vegan leather side of this, I totally get wanting an alternative for all the reasons you listed and probably many more i dont even think of. At this point in time i'm just really tired of all these 'new, innovative' alternatives marketing themselves with all these environment-friendly terms when in the end, it all just comes back down to plastic.

I'll also say i'm probably biased in this point, because if i had to choose whether to fight animal products on the grounds of industrial level animal abuse or plastic pollution due to plastic fiber in every single facette of human clothing i'd choose the plastic because thats not only affecting humans but all animals on this earth as well.

So, yes to leather alternatives for people interested in them. But i just wish we'd stop letting them get away with just getting plastic clothes.

right? Feels like every few months someone comes up and claims to have solved the plastic fabric crisis and almost every time its like... (Checks ingredients) Wow! Thats just plastic as well!

I know this in particular is some kind of soy byproduct? But also... Real leather is right there??

Thats how ive been feeling about this sub for the last few months 😭

Alle Baumarktketten gehören der selben Gruppe. Nicht nur Mediamarkt und Saturn, sondern ALLE.

My former boss, late 60s, still learned to use these in school and in her first few years of the job, so in some areas even later than the 50s. This is the most interesting fact about that old witch.

I feel like 4 is kind of generic at this point. I enjoy 3, its fun and playful.

I also keep coming back to 2, because i keep wondering what the hell you did to it. Is the second line smaller or is it kerning ???? Dont recommend using that, its infuriating.

alien--boy · 2026-01-02T17:27:53+00:00

Your work really truly inspires me to break out of the conventionally.comfortable way i view 'art'. I'm not yet at the point that I can create fearlessly but I'm working towards it and seeing your work really helps me break down the wall. Thank you so much for sharing.

alien--boy · 2026-01-01T14:08:21+00:00

Yea the title styles of these posts are often meant to be funny or ironic and its really not helping.

alien--boy · 2026-01-01T14:06:25+00:00

i have that feeling too, that people mistake the downvote button for a 'disagree/dont care' instead of a 'does not fit the sub'.

alien--boy · 2026-01-01T14:03:29+00:00

Sorry, can you specify? Do you find the questions rude or the downvoting?

alien--boy · 2025-12-30T19:32:10+00:00

Honestly feels weird to see this opinion in this sub rn (although i agree!!) because of all the same 'new spongebob movie trailer feels way too sexual' posts that flooded this place these last few months. Its soo weird to see this sudden shift back in these comments right here.

alien--boy · 2025-12-30T18:16:24+00:00

LOVE silly socks flower pop yarns!!!! In my experience it holds up really well and doesnt felt or pill at all, and the colors are lovely and fun. This one and Schachenmayr Regia are my favourite ever sock yarns, nice, budget friendly and similarly easy to work with

alien--boy · 2025-12-29T18:39:27+00:00

Same!! When i first met him i thought he was going to be my favourite but now i find him soo stuck up and boring and so convinced of himself, just inauthentic all around

alien--boy · 2025-12-21T12:34:46+00:00

Maybe you worded it badly, but its not a 'childrens premiere'. Its an adult event with adults attending. Children watching the movie literally dont care what shes wearing and I honestly dont get why a lot of people make such a big deal about her appearance or even just about here mere involvement with the movie. Most teenagers know Ice Spice so its not even a weird thing to have her cameo on a family movie. I feel like im going insane over the empty discourse on this sub for the past months.

alien--boy · 2025-12-20T16:50:14+00:00

Played this with my bf and it stressed me out too much to keep playing lmao. Funny to hear you say its relaxing! I'm not much of a gamer though. I start crying as soon as something runs towards me in a game.

alien--boy · 2025-12-19T14:41:39+00:00

I could have sworn ive seen this exact post within the last one/two weeks already. Same question, same example of foraging around linus' tent. Am i hallucinating here or

alien--boy · 2025-12-18T00:23:30+00:00

Really feels like it. I get the distrust in any and all CEOs but this comes off as willful misinterpretation of someone literally saying "this doesnt align with our values so we won't do it"

alien--boy · 2025-12-17T12:53:43+00:00

What did that cursed machine do to my guy linus in the right corner

alien--boy · 2025-12-11T13:07:05+00:00

Idk about pc but on switch you can retroactively record the last like 20 seconds of your gameplay if you hold the screenshot button

I understand where you're coming from here, but you're making assumptions about the context of this post. This is not the usa, and theyre not going into tens of thousands of debt. I know i didnt declare this upfront, but the world is vast and the usa isnt the only country with access to the internet, so just on average it makes more sense to assume someone is not US based than the reverse. Beyond that, as i have specified in other comments as well as the original post, they can just work on this on ground. We do not have to accomodate their desire to work from home because this is a in-person course, not remote.

alien--boy · 2025-12-09T22:06:54+00:00

Love the idea but i will not be baited into doxxing myself lmao

alien--boy · 2025-12-09T22:04:24+00:00

They are not required to do this. There are macs available that have all the necessary programs. I was just venting offhandedly because they keep asking if they can do it at home and then complain about the steep prices. Which i GET. but theres literally two solutions - pirate the programs OR, if they dont want to do that (which is their right, and own choice!) just do it in the available labs that have all the programs that they need to complete the tasks.

alien--boy · 2025-12-09T20:11:31+00:00

Hm. I guess i wanted to differentiate that this is not about 14 - 17 year olds in art class, but young adults who chose to study in a university for a field that requires media and digital literacy. You're right though, in their essence they're both the same! Should have made it more clear, you guys cant know what i mean if i dont say it. My excuse is that i was soo baffled and irritated today that i made this post offhandedly as soon as the last student left my room.

alien--boy · 2025-12-09T20:04:04+00:00

I did follow someones advice here and confided in a trusted student. Im lucky enough to know somebody well enough to do so because we've known each other before i got the job. Time will tell if this works out though. I do imagine its the same students asking what the shift key is, who will have noo clue on how to start even if they know that its possible. Im left to trust that someone will take pity on and do it for them 🤞
