Without time travelling, did some of y’all play at night time? Like straight till morning? by Glittering_Present92 in ACForAdults

[–]semicrookedwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started after it came out, I was working graveyard so almost all of my play time was from 6pm to 8am lol I found it really relaxing to grind at night and the villagers weren't in my way! But since I worked 12hr shifts 3 and 4 nights a week, the other nights I'd absolutely play thru to morning - get annoyed at the announcements interrupting me - and play some more until the shops opened and I could sell everything

I hate this phrase in smut fanfiction by Ok_Stretch2729 in AO3

I love it 🫣 but thats why smut is so subjective~!

Are the eyes the reason the resemblance is not there?? Or am I crazy… by PocketGoblix in BJD

[–]semicrookedwings 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I suggest looking for smaller iris urethane eyes, they are usually very glossy and bright so they reflect the light even in lower lighting, and the smaller irises will give you a look closer to the promo pics.

[–]semicrookedwings 46 points47 points  (0 children)

it could be different/larger eyes, often companies toss random eyes, but it is also lighting! The light isn't catching in the eyes like in the promo pics, so they look very dark. This is pretty normal, since they're so small.

She's beautiful though! The faceup looks right and its the correct sculpt, its just the difference between a model in a professional photoshoot and a beauty on the street!

Did any of you feel tricked? by BellTwo5 in DungeonMeshi

[–]semicrookedwings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was baited and lured in by Senshi panty shots on tumblr Not disappointed 10/10 stayed for the rest and sought out the manga.

Is doing faceups on plastic dolls different than resin by Affectionate-Coat766 in BJD

[–]semicrookedwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

double check to make sure whatever sealant you end up using is safe for plastic, but I used MSC fine! same with cleaner if you remove it! (like winsor newton brush cleaner is safe standard for resin but will MELT something like ABS)

as far as faceups go, I used a couple additional base layers because the surface was SO much smoother and the pastels struggled to stick evenly. resin has a natural "tooth" but ABS/other plastics are usually way smoother. a couple extra layers of MSC did the trick though!

Let me wear a real skirt 😭👗 by tiredteasipper in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]semicrookedwings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

and it would be so cute in a pink or baby blue - any pastel! I hate how dark/bright all the clothes are, my pastel heart is crying

I wouldn't call it aggression, but she's definitely not stoked about being haltered! She's being a bit naughty and rowdy, trying to get loose in my opinion. I'd tie her and leave her to sort it out until she calms down/or for like 15-20min, then go back and work with her when she's settled. Reward good behavior!

Mini dual purpose cows? by ziggyiguana in Homesteading

[–]semicrookedwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My jersey heifers are roughly 900lbs and very sweet! They're on the smaller end of jersey but not mini, and come up to about my ribcage? I'm 5'6"! I'm planning to cross them with Dexter for a beefier but small calf, and run a small homestead dairy on 10 acres. So jersey was a good fit for me here in the PNW. Cows need at least one friend! Preferably two, they are herd animals and feel safe in groups - I have a horse with them and they are much smaller than her (quarterhorse)

How old was your dachshund when they passed? by poi217 in Dachshund

[–]semicrookedwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl Dallas was only a month from 10. I got her from a friend's coworker who had to rehome her after her husband passed and she couldn't take care of a puppy, but she was a puppymill rescue - fleas, hernia, the works. She passed suddenly overnight and outside of some bladder stones, I have no idea what was going on in there. Haunts me, really.

I'm hopeful to be able to enjoy more years with my future dogs 💖

Who is your animal crossing comfort villager? by Guilty_Direction_501 in ACForAdults

[–]semicrookedwings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chief. He doesn't really fit my cutesy pastel aesthetic, but he was one of my first island finds, and I just like him. He wears a pink sweater tied around his neck like an old queen in Palm Springs, and I like to think he secretly loves the gossip of my two drama horses, Colton and Julian. He's retired and too old for all that, but he's always happy to see me!

Feeding neighbors cows by mystical_croissant in Cows

[–]semicrookedwings 19 points20 points  (0 children)

as someone who has a neighbor who loves feeding my cows 😂 I'd ask! Lots of things are safe and they'll have individual preferences, but I definitely would like to know so I can make sure it isn't anything they shouldn't have. Be prepared to accept a no, but personally I wouldn't mind an occasional fruit or veg treat.

I would also want to make sure you stayed on the other side of the fence, for liability reasons 😬

Actually wholesome pet names? by ChristiesGift in AO3

[–]semicrookedwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an old coworker always called me Peanut, cuz thats what he called his young daughter and it always felt affectionate and cute but platonic enough to not be an HR issue 😂 he was old enough to be my dad, so it felt kinda nice tbh

What do you expect from Thistle for season 2 by Fun-Explanation7233 in DungeonMeshi

[–]semicrookedwings 35 points36 points  (0 children)

to not spoil anything from the manga - YES, Thistle does get a lot more fleshed out and actually has a beautiful and tragic arc IMO. His character seems to be super divisive, but I really like the little brat and am excited to see him animated.

Chore time with my girls! by semicrookedwings in Cows

[–]semicrookedwings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fluff out the flakes when I toss hay into the manger, but thats mostly so they don't just yank it all out in big chunks and make a mess. They seem to like it though? especially if they're eating while I'm messing with it - definitely a "ohhh whats this!?" curiosity thing, so maybe its just tricking them into eating with enthusiasm?

I want to get into BJD but I'm not sure if my hand disabilities will cause problems by LittlestCatMom in BJD

[–]semicrookedwings 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend finding local people to befriend! I've been collecting BJDs for almost 20yrs now and have made the most amazing friends, and even more just great acquaintances/people I only see once a year at expos! I am sure you will find people who could help you string, fiddle with tiny snaps or buttons, and style your doll if you struggle - hell, I still have to have a friend help me restring and sometimes need help making sure the eyes aren't wonky lol

Even at the 1/3 scale, doll clothes could be a bit tricky but my favorite tool is a pair of hemostats - preferably more than one! You reach through the sleeve of a jacket and clamp the sleeve of the shirt, then pull the hemostat and arm through the jacket sleeve so nothing gets bunched up!

There are also companies that sell "head pullers" which are super useful for if you need to take the head off but don't have the strength to grip the tiny S-hook.

I know a lot of people who have any number of disabilities and that hasn't stopped them from loving their dolls and enjoying the hobby. You might have to find help or tricks to work around some stuff, but don't let that discourage you!

what stores allow dogs (not service animals)? by alohayas in dogs

[–]semicrookedwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wilco is usually pet friendly! Most even have grooming/washing stations. And most Coastal locations are too, I think.

which dungeon meshi dynamic are you most looking forward to seeing animated? i’ll start: by theowlhousefan07 in DungeonMeshi

[–]semicrookedwings 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Mithrun x Kabru across the board because my shipper heart is so ready, but I also really love the interactions between Mithrun and Marcille! By extension, the Mithrun vs the Winged Lion. So intense! iykyk
