The JJK translation was a little off…

took me awhile to realize the this:

Was a mistranslation (cause I never read the manga) but it made so much sense!

like, where do you cut stuff? In the kitchen! Also it was funny so yeah.

Reasons why the 2DS Lite is the best

1. Can hold a charge like, forever. I left mine for months without opening or charging it and the next time I opened it at was at near 100%

If I leave my switch for more than a day without actually powering it off it drops down to 60% Even when you do power it off the switch still drains like 10% a day

2. Very compact, feels easier to bring with me than the switch

3. Other than hinges, nigh indestructable. Don’t have to worry about messing up the controls unlike the switch (joy con durablity sucks)

4. Potects itself pretty well

5. Runs smoothly even after years (Then again this is probably because the games for the 2DS are made to suit its specs)

6. Good games since the games had to focus on gameplay to make up for the graphics

7. Still has pretty good graphics either way (Pokemon White still looks good to this day!)

Yes, I know some of these only have 1 post but I plan on these being my main tags.

Idk who's even reading this, I have no followers and very little posts.

I've been sitting on this pattern and tutorial for a while now! so time to finally share it with you! I was lamenting that the jellycat pip and sugar mice were long retired and difficult to get your hands on unless you are willing to pay much more than they retailed for each mouse, so i decided to try and eyeball a pattern and make some myself! they're not exact as i only used constructed visual references but they're close! please note that this pattern set is intended for personal use only. Rough tutorial under the cut!

This pattern is for printing onto A4 but you can check your scale with the measurements I've provided or just play around with how big or small you want to try and make them! i didn't really get any wip photos of pip mouse but it's method is largely the same with the nose being the major change, which i will detail in text in the instructions below.

for sugar mouse i would recommend using polar fleece as it will act the right way for the ears to do their squishy marshmallow looking thing. but minky should also work or other similar fabrics! for pip mouse if you can find a similar curly looking fabric with a thin backing that'll be ideal but fleece will also work well, you just wont get the furry texture, you want a fabric with a little bit of stretch to it. i however would not recommend fabrics like felt or non stretch cotton for these guys as it's likely to not take shape the same as there's no give to the fabric.

once you have printed out the pattern and cut the pieces in your fabric, you'll want to sew the ears up and turn them inside out, then put them aside for later. just leave them as is for now but here you can see i was playing around with pinching the turned through ear into shape.

Then moving on, sew the back pieces together along the spine and front of face. you then want pull the bottom open ends apart gently and place the open sides flat up against the base piece so that they're aligned, it can be good to pin this in place so it doesn't shift.

then, get your tail rope, and tie a knot at either end, placing the base of it inbetween the seam at the butt so that it'll sit in the right place, then sew the seam up directly with the tail in place, make sure you sew through the rope to secure it and make sure it doesnt shift. Sew around the bases seam leaving a hole in one side so that you can then turn your mouse through.

once turned through you will want to stuff your mouse with polyfill quite a bit so it takes shape! i like to put weighted beans in mine for extra effect, you can use dried rice or wheat too, just sew a little circle pouch a bit smaller that the mouses base with scrap fabric and fill and seal! then insert into the turning hole while you stuff. once stuffing is done you can sew the hole up with a ladder stitch. the weight from the beads will allow your mouse to sit up quite well.

next you will want to get those ears you put aside, take each corner and bring the ends together in the middle. then sew them gently together at the ends with one or two stitches in about the same spot. you want them to look 3d so dont sew the ends to the back of the ear, just end to end so they meet in the center.

Then pin the ears in place on the head

then you need to ladder stitch the ears in place while they're pinned so they dont shift around, go all the way around the outside edge of each.

now you're almost done! next they just need a face! sugar mouse only needs embroidery by way of a french knot for both the eyes and nose (you can find good video tutorials on how to sew a french knot online), pip mouse will also need a french knot for the eyes but has a separate process for it's nose. (for the pip mouses nose you will need to leave the marked nose hole open and then stitch the nose fabric to the square nose backing in line with the dotted direction on the pattern, (it should look kind of baggy when it's unstuffed) sew it up completley with no hole, then cut a tiny slit in the backing and add polyfill there before closing with a basic stitch, then you ladder stitch the nose directly to the marked nose hole)

in order to hide the embroidery anchor knots i find the best way is to start by going down through the middle of the ears and then coming back up where you want the eye to be, and then going back down and up through the ear for the finishing knot, as it creates a very easy cover for them and looks nice and clean!

then you have yourself a little buddy!

haha they're great to squish! if you use this pattern i'd love to see your results!

It's my 2 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

HEY, YOU!

DO YOU LIKE OLD COMPUTER GRAPHICS?!

did you like ANY of these photos? would you like to see HUNDREDS MORE OF THEM?! with THOUSANDS OF UNIQUE TEXTURES?! ALL FROM FUCKING DECEMBER 15TH, YEAR 2000?!

NOW YOU CAN!!!

THERE'S ALSO A BUNCH OF CLIPART FROM 1997 IN .WMF FORMAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THAT, BUT YOU MIGHT!

STILL not convinced???? LOOK AT THE DISC THEY CAME FROM!

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!??!?!?!?!?! DON'T WAIT! GO LOOK AT THOSE JPEGS... TODAY!

This…I will use this at some point

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

Excellent idea

I don't care for modern/no transmigration aus where shen yuan is all shy and innocent. This is the man who goes to brothels for information and makes friends everywhere he goes. Even in a normal setting I wholeheartedly believe he'd have connections, especially with his status as a rich kid.

I want a fic where Shen Yuan finds Binghe bleeding out in an alley and he's like "damn, calling an ambulance could get this guy in trouble... let me just call that underground doctor who I'm buddies with, he'll fix this guy up and I can pay him in cash so my dad won't ask about a huge bill on my credit card."

So many mafia aus would be way funnier if they were more realistic to how rich people actually act

Binghe: I'm a CRIMINAL I'm part of a GANG

Shen Yuan: um yeah I know, my friends buy cocaine from you

Binghe:

Shen Yuan: anyway

The freaking comments are funny for this one

For your all transmigrator au, i need to see MF pretending/actually being the concerned older brother type to LBH even tho their on different peaks now.

MF: If I appeal to the protagonist he won't kill me by ants right ??

LBH: NYY won't talk to me, I'm on Bai Zhan, I saw Liu Qingge in his inner robes and Ming Fan is acting like my older brother even though he has no reason to talk to me cause we're on different peaks. Am I being cursed or blessed ?

SQQ: (Walking onto Bai Zhan Peak) Luo Binghe !

LBH: Cursed definitely cursed-

(Sorry for rambling lol, your au is just really funny to think about)

Lmao I love ramblings this indeed is a funny thought

Ming Fan, with a happy welcoming smile: Shidi~ shidi~ what can this shixiong get for you? Has your Bai Zhan martial siblings been treating you well?

Luo Binghe immediately needs to scrub his eyes with sand cause did he just see Ming Fan of all people smile warmly at him???

Then he sees Shen Qingqiu waltzing around Bai Zhan peak without disciples trying to jump him? And the Bai Zhan Peak lord actually welcomes him??? AREN'T THEY SWORN ENEMIES??

Sqq walking around and actually having a civil conversation with Yue Qingyuan and Bingge is even more flabbergasted. When did he take that stick out of his ass and mend his relationship with Yue-Shibo?!?!
