story one
Tumblr media
 ok.. so i never really use this blog for much. So I've decided to start using it to get some of the crap echoing in my skull out. Maybe if I write about these feelings, confront them and drag them out into the light of day
they will go away. My family is basically nuts. Long story short. 
My father was a very good man but I think he was too caught up in enabling my mom's bad behavior. My mom was what I now realize a very selfish person, concerned with only my sister and my sister's children. Many times to the exclusions of my own needs. I have a lot of other stories.. but ahh right now I wanna get the story of this lil fella outta my head.
That's right folks.. A bloody green ranger toy. HOW may you ask, does a green ranger toy play into the chasms of my mind ? Really simple. This lil guy is a reproduction of the original. See the lil hasbro dealy down in the corner?
But many years ago back in the summer of 1994, I had some extra money from my baby sitting and dog walking jobs. Relying on my folks for money was after a certain point just plain stupid. I had to rely on them for insurance and a few other things, but spending money. Fun money, and yah even clothes and food, no. NOPE. My pride got the better of me and I got sick of listening to people ( mom) bitch about what I ate, how much clothes cost, and how sorry and wasteful I was. I really got kinda tired of it. It's not that they refused to provide it. They did. But it came at the price of having to hear her constantly criticize me. My weight, what I ate, What i wore. So my brain simply went to the place.. WELL.. if I stop asking them to provide these things. They will lose that control. So I just started getting my own things. That was the situation the summer that the original of this lil fella came out. Originally he was about half of what he is now, 13.00. So he would have been like six bucks. (Yay inflation!)  There was a mall on the hill that had Kaybee toys in it. Despite the fact that I was a teenager myself, I enjoyed the show a lot. And this lil asshole in green spandex was my fave. I loved green, I loved dragons, And Pretty boy mc fluffuly hair was kinda cute. So… yah He was my fave. So thinking not much of it I brought this lil fell as a model to help me learn to draw them. Fast forward to that fall. See my sister had gone off and gotten knocked up back when I was Ten.. Par for the course with people of my mom's religious persuasion. It is The DUTY of the younger family members to help when the older sibling has a baby. Especially when she comes home from whoring around out west, without a penny to her name. She came home with her demon spawn in her belly and my childhood effectively came to an end. For around six/seven years I had been putting up with it. My sister's child, though he claims he loves his auntie now, was EVIL. I have scars from where this lil asshole assaulted me.  Maybe I should forgive him but I refuse to forget. Specifically this incident. For some ungodly reason. My parents decided that weekend we were all going to spend time at the grandparents house out in the small town in eastern KY. I HATED it. I was basically Belle in that town. Girl with a brain stuck in a town that only values a woman on how many babies she can crank out and how fast. To this day they hate me because I, after finding out I was fucking sterile, chose degree's over children. Not even bothering to account that Children are an impossibility for me. Nope, being a pregasaurus rex is all that matters there. That is how your value as a woman is determined in that family. My dad's family wasn't as bad, due to my Grandpa Jim being very progressive and very education oriented. Honestly without my Grandpa Jim, I'd probably have gone stark raving mad when the occasion came to visit this town. BLEH. 
So this weekend.. because I wanted to work on some art and drawings. I shoved my lil green buddy there in my bag and took him with me so I could practice drawing his shield and stuff. So picture that.. Someone minding their own business .. with their own toy… not bothering anyone else and working on a drawing. Peaceful right? That peace was very quickly shattered. Noa, the demon seed of my sister had never noticed my lil green ranger toy there before. Sometimes he and I watched the show together when I was forced to babysit the lil shit. 
So he liked the show too. He spots my toy sitting on the table as I am drawing him and comes up. Promptly reaches up onto the table.. takes my figure and starts to make off with him. I Stop him, take Tommy back and tell him. "No kid, that's mine. You can't have it." "but I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant  it!!" I tell him no again and then pack up my drawing stuff and head up stairs to get some peace and quiet. It does not last long. I'm on my bed now drawing, and here comes my sister. "Did you take that toy from Noa!" She shouts.. pointing at the green ranger that I remind you, I paid for and was mine. "NO," I tell her flatly, "HE tried to take it from ME." "Well," She huffs, "GIVE IT TOO HIM." "No," I replied, "no, it's my toy and he can't have it. They sell them at Kaybees, when we get back to civilization just go get him one." "NO give it to him now!" She snarls, "You're too old for that anyway." "Well I don't care if I am too old for it," I shrug, "I paid for it, It's mine. If he wants one, buy him his own." I proceed to pick up the toy and shove it back into my bag. "You either give me that toy or You're gonna get it," She tells me. I ignore her and go back to my drawing. She storms off down the steps and not 10 minutes later I hear my mom standing at the bottom step, screeching like a fucking banshee.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!" At the top of her lungs, "GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW AND YOU BRING THAT BABY'S TOY WITH YOU!!" 
My dad is out with my Mom's father some place so I am aware that I am caught in there with all my female relatives on my mom's side of the family. Mom, Sister, Nanna, and Auntie. I know I will be ganged up on the moment I go down stairs. I make a point of leaving Tommy in my bag and head down so that the yelling can start. Start it does. For a good thirty minutes. Basically telling me what a selfish lil brat I am for not giving my nephew that toy. HOW horrid of a person I was for hogging the item that I PERSONALLY paid for and not giving it to him. I tell them he can't have it and promptly get slapped in the face by my mom. I am not the five nine amazon that I am now. I was a bitty lil 17 year old that was about two sauce packets tall. And my mom knew how to slap someone and make it hurt.  She slapped me so hard my nose tried to bleed. Then told me that IF I didn't go get the toy she was gonna slap me again. All of my female relatives backed her up. I told her NO.. Got slapped again and she went and got the toy out of my backpack herself. She then asked me if I was going to give it to Noa. I Once again told her no. So she told me in no uncertain terms that If Noa couldn't have the toy. Neither could I. She tossed my Green ranger into the trash. Had my Auntie bag it up in front of me and haul it out to the trash can. Eventually Dad came home and saw the red hand print and found out what had happened. Told my mom she had no right to make me share something I had paid for with my own money. Or simply take it from me because the demon seed wanted it. He went to get it but by then it was too late. The trash had been picked up and my green ranger was gone. He offered me the money to replace the toy but I told him no. The same thing would just continue to happen as long as Noa and my sister were around. Mom would take their side and the things I loved would keep dying. It was a long time before I ever saw that toy again. A year ago I saw one on hasbro and my darling husband asked me , without knowing the story actually, if I wanted it. This was because he knows my love of power rangers. He got me the reproduction and it sits on my desk  for the world to see. To pay him back this year I bought him the white one because that was his favorite. But he never had it taken away, just never got one. So yah.. Proof that my mom, sister , auntie and nana were fucking nuts. They destroyed my power ranger toy because I refused to give it to my nephew. Plain and simple.

#JohnDoeGame #HousehuntedGame #MerchIdea #Plushies
#MyDreamJob #ToyIdeaAndMaker #ToyStoreCeo
I wish fun jobs paid well instead of techy number based hard jobs.
My dream job is to draw and design toys like for a toy store similar to Kaybee Toys or Toys R Us before the downsizing.
I have so many ideas for plush and figure designs.
I also like watching videos on stores, game companies, and restaurants that were once profitable but now are outdated and closed up or just don't exist anymore.
Like where do they go?
I know most just get bought out by another company then downsized, rebranded, or just disappear.
I also like to know the history of these things and what went wrong.
I have not idea what genre this is job or video wise.
Like who owns the rights to certain properties?
I also like watching vintage ads.
Some ads I remember and some are new to me.
I always wonder if the people in the ads are still alive and where are they now.
Sometimes I see old food ads then see something tasty I didn't know existed and wonder if that food or drink item should return.
I know the prices of those items are a thing of the past like the $1 menu or a three topping medium cheap pizza.
Sometimes I wonder what hanging out with real life people as friends feels like.
Most of my RL friends have moved on.
Sometimes I wonder what I'm good at job wise.
I mean I have ideas for stuff but I have nowhere to use it.
The copyright question
----------------------------
Like for example if the creator either passed on or the rights were with another company that is hard to find after the company dissolved?

--------------------------------
If I was Rich
--------------
If I was rich I would just buy obscure games just to add them on steam and if the concept is unique enough I would pay fans who are good at making the game they were passionate about.
Like Illbleed for example to make a sequel that has a similar feel to the original but has good updates to the formula like save states and a courage meter for characters that fall down then crawl around.
Like everyone votes on what levels they want in it and have a tutorial.
-------------------------------------
I'm still waiting for someone really good at plush making to make a reversible plush of Doe and the other Realtors.
Like for example Doeball reversible plush into John Doe Human Form plush and Maison Talo lure body reversible plush into his house form plush.
Second Example for the House Plush but it has a pink string when you turn the Realtor house inside out to represent the lure cord.
TAKARA TOMY Pokemon Reversible Pocket Monster Squirtle Plush Doll Stuffed Toy | eBay
13" SpongeBob SquarePants Pineapple House Nanco 2002 Plush Stuffed Animal | eBay
I have another one.
A John Doe Nendoroid but it's just a hollow plastic body that you can put the Doeball form in for the one eyed look and some extra faces.
Image not mine but link is there.
Nendoroid L (goodsmile.info)
Also all accessories he/they would have like the knife, a cartoon heart, and the meat gift.
The hand heart pose for the hollow body.
The Doe ball form is just a figure with a few expressions.
Also have that dialogue response box with the yes and yes option on it as a accessory.
Have three shirt message designs you can clip on and remove if you want in the Nendoroid Doe.
The start of Doe Nendoroid box should be Doe with the heart eyes and heart tongue out.
Has a red and black motif with the angel language written on it which is John Doe's True name but x ed out for John Doe.
Have the "Do you think he is cute?" message on the box written somewhere.
--------------------
A Realtor Version
---------------------
For the Realtor's Nendroid Box would be their house body and is important to collect.
Kind of looks similar to the Ouran High School Host Club Nendoroids but has their Realtor's outfits with their business cards as accessories.
Has more expressions and poses with a bush accessories that the realtor can sit in the hide from buyers before asking them to buy a house.
Comes with many different lure cord plastic cords for posing in the box house if you kept it.
All carry a early 2000s cellphone accessory.
All the realtor's have the angel text of their name then xed out with their name easily readable when written on the box.
Has a For Sale sign for each Realtor which is unique.
Has the Maison Talo message written on the box somewhere.
"You're new in town. Lost and wandering. You need a place to call your own."

Johndoegame and Househuntedgame X-ray Plushies
------------------------------------------------------------
I would also love plushies of John Doe, Heim, and Maison similar to the Skelanimals plushies where it would show the character skeletons like Doe's regular guy form stretched out and have the tree bones show for the Realtor plushies.
Maybe have glow in the dark versions with the John Doe plush having a red glow in the dark outline around the plush.
I have another idea for merch that will never exsits unless I get it Etsy made.
A John Doe plush of the regular guy hairball form but when you squeeze it the plush makes noises like squeaks and purrs.
While maybe vibrates while making noises with a glowing red light around the plush and has a 3D plush eye.
The REALTORs plush is their house body and when you squeeze it it makes a door bell noise, a door open noise, the REALTORs voice, and maybe hungry noises.
While maybe vibrates while making noises with a glowing red light around the plush and has a 3D plush eye.
The REALTORs plush is their house body and when you squeeze it it makes a door bell noise, a door open noise, the REALTORs voice, and maybe hungry noises.
If the plush has a chimney you press that area to make the plush make those sounds and the seed bearing house you just squeeze the roof of the house.
And have a satisfied hunger noise.
Images not mine but links are there.
