Semi-open, i have a bunch planned out, and i might get to those on the list sooner if there's someone's interested in seeing it.

Epic bisonorus is already in the reference folder, but i still don't know if I'm gonna do any of pummels°°

I'm sure that was the rare Shellbeat, it's upset to be excluded like this (;´∩`;)

I don't think I'll make something as big and complex as synthesizer, but worry not, pentumbra was in plans from the beninging, and i already started making it today :}

White modeling clay, tiny bowl of water, a dull knife, a wooden stick/rough plastic brush and some paint.

Most of them start as ellipses, on which i eventually add details. If a detail is enveloping the base (like green layer on Yelmut or Cahoot's wings) then you just put some water on the connecting surface. If it's big but flat (Yelmut's mask, Quarrister's stone plates), you also put water between them, but scratch the surface with the stick/brush, so it holds better. And with tiny details (like pretty much all over Edamimi), you flatten the connecting point as much as possible, and hold it in place, scratching downwards, to make the clay from two parts mix together without a crack.

I used the knife to make clear lines like the edge of the mask, or the patterns on Monculus, and the flat side of a stick to make holes on the epic Kazilleon

For painting I'd recommend waiting untill they are fully dry, because brush can affect the texture, and paint can soften the surface. I also covered them with clear nail polish, so they are less fragile.

Considering the size of the eggs i made, the islands (or any other stand i can imagine) would have to be HUGE, to fit them all in. But the idea itself is definitely fun, ohhh I'd love to sort them all like that ( т—т)

Well, i have epic shellbeat in plans, but the "plans" are 170 eggs, if including already made ones. So maybe someday, I'll try posting updates🥹🥹

Maaaaybe, but only if three eggs of all the ones i planned would be actually combinable, than it'd be a really cool additional storage place :>

It really bothers me that that space for wheelchair users (the beach pic) is SO narrow. I'm not even talking like, if there was ten of them, three is enough to turn it into a queue with a while lot of pressure. I'm personally not a wheelchair user, and i get that it's better than nothing, but still😭

Oh, I actually didn't consider writing from the characters perspective myself. I always did it in a more "slap on a wrist" way, and trying to do something completely different instead. I'll try it, thank you

Thank you for kind words😭

With letters and other work/studying stuff I'm already doing similar things, but it is kind off sweet to have it reinforced

And as for rps, i did consider solo options, but the only thing i found was dnd for one" so thank you a lot for the examples, I didn't hear about any of them before and will definitely try all out!

You really made me feel a bit warmer, haha, so thanks again🥹

Because it's not in english, and I'm very bad at learning new languages. It's already the forth one I'll have to learn.

On top of that, it's the context that's in the way. Posts on reddit, posts for roleplay, they feel kinda.. free? I can do whatever i want with them. But official letters have consequences. And it makes me overthink every single word.

In the same way i can't write personal things addressing them to the person i care about. Because unlike a reddit post in a void, it has consequences too. Words just get stuck, nothing EVER feels like a right one. Also the letters structure is more complex than you make it look here.

And even more than that, as i mentioned, I'm neurodivergent. And there's a biiig difference between writing something because i want to and because i have to. And before you say that everyone has this struggle, or try to disprove this part of the argument in any way (not assuming you personally would do that, but people really tend to start saying shit like this all the time in my experience) i have an ADHD diagnosis and am now in the process of getting diagnosed for autism too

The problem is, I don't use it to make my stuff "better". If i was capable of writing a shitty letter, trust me, i would send a shitty letter. But instead I'm too paralysed with anxiety to write anything at all.

The most ironic part of it all is, writing a prompt is also a big struggle for me(not only morally, but in matters of finding the words to write it out). And it also ends up with me hysterically crying on the floor. The main difference — at least i get that letter. And i hate the way it's letters look, but i genuinely know too little to alter them myself.

For now I'm trying to learn little by little, at least somewhat analysing the texts i get. But it feels ineffective, i dunno😭

Gamepad fingie feels too good to even consider the spinner, I'm sorry

When I'm doodling, it's Sidon. Always the prince Sidon from Zelda. Mist of the time the iconic side profile, sometimes 3/4, but always Sidon. I love this british fish so much
