im gonna brag a bit, this is the THIRD of three tournaments i've hosted where i absolutely knew who the winner would be before i even started the tournament. im 3 for 3 on predictions so thank u all for making my own dream a reality xoxo
returning to my little project of making a fake neopet out of my fursona for the Third time, because I keep changing their design before I can finish it.
on the second attempt, I decided to stop being lazy and actually make larger vectors instead of drawing directly on a 150x150 canvas - which, surprise, is a hell of a lot easier. this time around, I'm also using the flash colour palette to make everything a bit more authentic. and I made one of those pet info pages you could see by going to the species list.
I've almost completed the basic recolour/minor lineart adjustment paintbrush colours. gonna post a bigger collection of them later when they're all finished, then move on to the unique poses, but these are my favourites so far. I was actually keeping so rigid to the official styles for a few of them (proportions & anatomy, consistent colours & shading, etc.), before straying away enough from desert to realise, wait, I can just have fun w/ it lol.
During the Finland rituals on the re-imperatour this summer, Papa used the words 'Finland' and 'Suomi' (the name of the country in the finnish language) interchangably, but he said Suomi a lot more i think.
Idk i just think it's really neat how he used the country's finnish name more than the english one, not to mention the whole "suomi finland perkele" thing (his pronounciation was also very good btw). Like. It's weirdly kind of heart warming to me? to see him show such respect for my country, especially considering the fact that the guy under that mask is swedish.
Okay for those who don't know: sweden and finland have a long and fairly negative shared history (long story short, finland was a part of the swedish kingdom for over 600 years. During the colonization of finland, the swedish imposed their own language, religion and way of life onto finns). And nowadays most swedes don't even speak a lick of finnish nor do they know anything about our culture, meanwhile finnish kids are still forced to learn swedish in school eventhough it's a minority language. Most of the time when finland and/or this history is brought up in conversation with a swede, they'll probably be like "oh yeah we owned you lol".
So to have Papa/Tobias, a swedish guy, show open respect for finland by using its native name (and going as far as to reference a distinctly finnish in-joke) during a concert in finland just makes me happy idk. Most swedes just don't care but Tobias clearly does and i find that really neat
guess who actually remembered to take their adhd meds again?? ❤️🥰 (me!!)
and guess who's totally 100% definitely going to work on actual stuff they need to get done and totally 100% definitely not go on a pharmaceutical-fueled, hyperfocused meta-analysis of crowley's expressions in the job minisode?? (me oh god i hope it's me pls i can't keep living like this it's been three fucking months)
theres a few that i was HOPING would win but kindve knew my taste isnt the general taste (front desk rick n 0716-C) so im not surprised. however the only one i am generally surprised by is lizard losing. only one that made me pause.
