Posted in Does Your House Make Any Noises? Posted 5 years ago

My house is kind of old (I think it was built in the 70s) so it's a tad broken in a few parts. Sometimes I get creeks at night that jolt me awake at night. My next door neighbor is the interstate so that's definitely a fun addition to sounds.

Posted in March Crate Items Feedback Thread || Raffle Included! Posted 5 years ago

This crate is much better than the two previous ones

Harlequin
★★★★★
Nice color arrangements, well-detailed, good pose, doesn't feel like commons, the fact it's a jester character. I love it! Only issues lay in the toe part of those shoes looking (from the foot pointed towards the viewer) looks like the foot was broken and bend in a really painful manner and the orange not fitting too well with the red/black combo (not complaining too much however - I love me a black/orange jumper!).

Nifty Nurse
★★★✩✩
Very cute, looks very useful. If it weren't for the crosses on the boots I would've assumed they were common thigh-high socks, they look a lot more like socks than boots. Colors are well-organized on all of the suits, only exception for out-of-place gold for the red version.

Botanist
★★★★★
Love it! Good color coordination, all the little details, the puffiness of everything I love so dearly, all the plants, I could definitely see myself using a lot of this set pretty frequently once I get my hands on it.

Posted in Spring '20 Plasma Orb Feedback Thread Posted 5 years ago

Radical Shining
★★★★✩
I love this one, those arms will definitely be intensely useful. Only real problems with this have are the fact there isn't a marshmallow or cloud recolor in the set and the actual hands of the character look a lot less refined, they have some weird shading going on the edge of them.

Year of the Horse
★★★★✩
Colors are well organized in this one and the horses look amazing (great work Fossy!). The layering of the hand on the hat should be changed so it actually looks like it's holding the brim of the hat and the hand on the leg should be adjusted so it looks more like they're putting the thumb in the pants pocket.

Year of the Snake
★★✩✩✩
I love snakes, which makes this one a little disappointing in my honest opinion. Again, nice colors (I don't own this one so I can't talk on the recolors), but it feels really lacking for something with snakes. Snake Charmer makes up for what this one is lacking, which is sad since it's a whole different set. It definitely seems like a good fit for a volt orb but does not belong in an ohm orb.

Year of the Pig
★★★★✩
Super duper cute! Nice color choice. The rainbow and bow look weird with that dark strip on them. We need more of those speech/emotion bubbles!

Year of the Monkey
✩✩✩✩✩
I'm assuming this one is the top right image in the previews. It doesn't represent a monkey, unlike all the other animals that come off clearly as to what they are. It doesn't look very usable, pretty boring. Adding a monkey companion would've helped a lot.

Year of the Rooster
★★★★✩
This one made me giggle a bit, it's a funny set. I love the body mods for this one, they're very unique and could be pretty useful. I also enjoy that chonky rooster up there.

Year of the Goat
★★★★★
I LOVE this one! I love the cute goat with the little plant in his mouth, the Satyr-like lower half is very soft-looking, I like the recolors that are included, the ground piece is beautiful, so many great pieces that will find a bunch of use in the future!

x5 uniquely recolored/patterned commons
★★★★✩
Not much I can say on these, they're well-done recolored/patterned commons.

Year of the Rabbit
★★★✩✩
The face is really weird, seperating or recoloring the seperate face parts would probably be best, looks like it consists only out of items directly taken from Vyc's Modz, and doesn't match the vibe or colors of the rest of the set. Disregarding the weird face, the colors are well put together and the items in it are cute. It doesn't feel like a "rarest" item in an ohm orb, but feels much more at home here than the Snake set.

Year of the Dragon
★★★✩✩
Very nice, another bit of good color choice. The tail is a big tangent-y with the side of the coat. I don't get enough "dragon" vibes off of this one but I can at least understand that it's a Year of the Dragon set.

Year of the Ox
★★✩✩✩
This one has one of those issues of being made of commons, not including the jacket. It feels too simple to be in an ohm orb, especially a rare one.

Year of the Rat
★★★★✩
Cute cute cute cute cute!!! I love this one, although I mostly think it's the skin that's winning me over. He's just so fluffy looking! Nice, pleasing colors, but the theme doesn't feel entirely consistent between the clothes and the actual rat part.

Year of the Tiger
★★★✩✩
I wouldn't really be able to guess this was a tiger set, but I still love it regardless. The fluffy hair, the tongue, the whole stripey deal. Stripes, man, can't go wrong with 'em. The tail's stripes feel inconsistent with the rest of the set's stripes.

Year of the Dog
★★★✩✩
The dog in this one look really weird, but I can't really put a finger on what's wrong with it. The pants look pretty common but the rest looks fitting for a unique set. The trails for the smoke on the ears look strange, especially when the actual puff part gets cut off, they look like stray threads flowing off of an old shirt.

Sightless Monk
★★★✩✩
This one is alright, doesn't seem too too special, but definitely doesn't feel like commons. The color combination is a little odd but I'm not entirely sure why. The accessories are cute and look pretty useful, like that bag.

Posted in Where are my furries at? Posted 5 years ago

I used to kind of be one?? I was friends with some furries and drew furry art for them in exchange for games on steam. I also used to have a rabbit fursona thing but I won't go into detail about it since I would really like to distance myself from that whole mess (not the furry community, just the shit surrounding that rabbit character)

Posted in Subscriptions... Posted 5 years ago

I want to subscribe to PlantYou so I can get meal plan stuff and special recipes since they're really really easy and I'm a lazy cheap cuck :P but don't have the ability myself at this point in time

I have Netflix and Hulu, but my house gets other physical ones since my mom is subscribed to Billie (monthly female razor subscription, we get them so often we're not even done with the ones from two months ago!) and Birchbox (some makeup thing? I don't wear makeup but my mom likes it)

Posted in Need Some Skin Care Recs Posted 5 years ago

I use this target brand charcoal face wash, since I have problems with blackheads and I've heard it helps draw nasty junk out. My mom gets Cerave and I used that for years and it worked really well, they have different types for different skin types (and Cerave comes in p good sized bottles).
Idk I don't care too too much about a skincare routine past obsessively cleaning my eyebrow piercing area so it doesn't get gross lol

Posted in Miraculous Ladybug is an awful show Posted 5 years ago

I'm not just saying that the show quality is awful, but there is so so so much wrong with the show on many more levels. These aren't every point I have but they're some pretty strong ones imo

Obviously the surface level "awful show" things:

Overrated animation quality - people say it's the "best", but 90% of the time the animation doesn't line up with the vocals, and the og vocals are intended to be the English ones according to Thomas himself, so it's not just a dubbing error
The main love mess is an annoying disaster - I understand romantic tension in some ways, but this comes to an absurd degree, but it also leads to an absolutely disgusting issue in the show in the less surface-level sense
Characters are bland, 2-dimensional cardboard cutouts of what characters actually should be, especially with Adrien who's supposed to be one of the main characters (but side characters usually end up getting more screen time), the creater said on twitter (actual quote!) "Adrien is perfect. But his flaw comes from the fact he's not accustomed to the 'outside' world. His innocence makes him vulnerable. To sum it up: he' s not flawed. The world is."
In episodes featuring a "moral", it's hamfisted to the audience in a very poorly-written manner.
Very basic monster-of-the-week format
Bad track record of undoing any character development or possible elements pushing the overall plot forward by the end of whatever episode they're presented in
Horrible pacing
Bad character design
Huge continuity issues
Horrible voice acting

The less surface-level ones that are more important (especially considering this is a kid's show):

Marinette (The role model!!!) is a manipulative, lying, pretentious, holier-than-thou stalker who is played up to be always right (a couple of times are exceptions) but has caused just as many if not more akumatizations as Chloe
The awful treatment of chat as a meat wall but being constantly left in the dark
The poor reasoning behind why Chat and Ladybum can't know each other's identities
Lyla's (one of the biggest non-villain villain is just the main character but with amplified flaws and nothing redeemable

Anyway, I don't want this to be a circle-jerk, so if you're a fan feel free to tell me what I'm wrong about or ask for me to elaborate on this

Posted in If you could take out your fear Posted 5 years ago

Fear is the driving force behind decision making and thought process. You do and don't do things because you fear outcomes. If I removed my fear, I would be nearly an entirely different person. No regard to social pressures, I would be more harmful to the people around me, I would feel much fewer emotions and won't be able to properly act in social situations. Considering my anger issues, I would have no reason to hold back when someone pisses me off, so someone's getting stabbed early after the fear is removed lol
