[Monster High] so since pink lagoona is a hot topic in the fandom, i though it'd be a fun challenge to try and make some pink lagoonas myself. there's actually a lot of material to work with imo!

these are all essentially looks for a recolored g1 lagoona, only the last one being intended for her g3 personality. i wanted to make more for g3, but didn't quite like them in execution, so maybe another time..

tropical treasure: beautiful, glamorous, colorful, but a bit more of an aquarium decoration than a strange beast. loosely inspired by bettas

ghost ship cruise: etherial haunty lagoona, inspired by jellyfish. light, translucent and probably cold to the touch

coy classic: elegant mermaid pond lagoona, inspired by koi fish. this one is kind of an amalgamation of her g1 dolls that exists in my head tbh

little axolotl: cute and quirky, like the new lagoona. inspired by axolotls and sea slugs :)

#my art #monster high #i wanted a crab/shrimp and a deep sea lagoona sooo bad #but it's not their time yet #i actually quite like new lagoonas holographic pastel rainbow vibe i just wish they experimented more with the sea creatures

this is the most beautiful creature on earth and I will kill someone if it asks me to

#horseshoe crabs #I had a fun day at the beach #60% of my time was spent looking for horseshoe crabs #sadly I didn't find any tagged ones so no horseshoe crab pin for me 😔 #God I love these creatures though #shoutout to the girl and her boyfriend who were very interested in hearing my Horseshoe Crab Facts spiel #especially bc the girl let me teach her how to hold the crab so she could take a pic with it #I respect you random beach girl #and your lack of fear when faced with a creature that looks like a facehugger #I'm obsessed with how utterly chill and harmless horseshoe crabs are #they just scoot along like little roombas #and look so creepy but have no ability to hurt anyone #(I don't think they're creepy though. I think they're adorable perfect little angels) #and the way they move is perfect. it looks fake #I wish I could spend the next 7 hours at the beach staring at horseshoe crabs #why oh why must I be here with my family. these losers want to do things like 'go back to the hotel because it's getting dark' #booooo cowards #join me in some nighttime horseshoe crab excursions #cute animals #crabs #(not actually a crab)

Does Brandon Sanderson...hate cats?

I mean...probably not. But I aim to start this conspiracy theory anyway, because I have noticed some disturbing trends about cats in the Cosmere...

1. Dogs are way more prominent

I started thinking about this originally because I was like, "Okay. So there are plenty of dogs, but...where are the cats?" We have TenSoon in Mistborn, whose dog body is very important to his character arc and which gave rise to Soonie Pups which, granted, are adorable. Cats do exist on Scadrial (see #3 below), but that somehow makes their complete lack of actual narrative time all the more glaring. On Roshar, home of crab-everything, we got the crab-dogs (axehounds) but strangely...no crab-cats, even though crab-cats would be adorable and also pinchy. I feel confident in saying that on a cats vs. dogs scale, Sanderson is definitely likes to include dogs more than he does cats.

2. The cats in Tress were VILLAINS

Honestly, I can only think of one book with prominent cats--Tress, where there was the ship cat and also the Sorceress's cat (those were two different cats, right?), whose main job was to torment poor little Huck. The impression I got was that Crow--ship villain--got the cat in order to kill Huck, and the Sorceress's cat was ALSO there to kill Huck. What kind of representation is it, Sanderson, if all of your cat characters are villains??

3. This WoB

While researching the very important question of "Where are all of the cats," I came upon this Reddit thread. And there I found a Word of Brandon that is...telling:

Questioner Are there cats anywhere in the cosmere? Brandon Sanderson Yes there are cats in the cosmere. There are lions in Mistborn, and have been mentioned numerous times, so you can assume, extrapolation, that there are also cats in the worlds somewhere. 

Cats somewhere? Cats SOMEWHERE?! Sanderson, you are world-building mcgee, and the best you can say is that cats probably exist because lions do?! The disrespect.

4. The one cat quote

Also in that Reddit thread, someone actually found one place in Mistborn that cats are mentioned! It's Elend fondly telling Vin how weird she is--like some mix of a noblewoman, street urchin, and cat. So the ONE time we have cats on the CANON CAT WORLD, and it's about how weird Vin is.

5. Oh wait. I found more cat quotes. Worse and worse!

More terribly damning evidence can be found in this 17th Shard thread. Robardin collected many cat quotes from Mistborn, Elantris, and The Emperor's Soul. Let's take a gander, shall we?

Shadows of Self: Unrest is shown by kids throwing rocks at cats.

Shadows of Self: Wax frightens a cat by taking off suddenly.

Bands of Mourning: Wayne thinks about how cats can be albino sometimes

Elantris: Hrathen is compared to a deadly cat torturing its prey

Emperor's Soul: Shai is compared to a cat who knocked over a vase

So aside from ONE relatively mundane thought that Wayne has, ALL the other cat quotes are about cats being hurt, frightened, or mean.

Sanderson, come on!

6. Lions are minks!

There is also a quote in that same Reddit thread about Adolin seeing a carving of a lion and being like, "Huh. Weird mink." I mean, that's kind of cute I guess. But also...I feel like it says something that the mighty lion, king of the felines, is assumed to be just some kind of weird mink. Your anti-cat prejudice is showing, Sanderson!

7. Lightsong doesn't have a cat

But the most damning evidence of all that Sanderson hates cats is this. Lightsong somehow does NOT have an overly pampered white, fluffy, Persian cat who sits with him, eats expensive caviar food directly from a golden spoon, and torments Scoot. How does such a cold reality even come into existence?

I can only think of one answer--and it's a tragic one.

I think Sanderson just doesn't like cats, guys.

getting us all to report spambots is tumblr staff's latest attempt to provide enrichment in the enclosure

#but i do not like this enrichment!!! #i wish for crabs and bells and nonsense #not these suspiciously friendly ladies #poor effort by the zookeepers. 1/10. low quality enrichment here.

What’s the most you’ve eaten at a single time?

this is actually a sad story :(( over the summer i was very sedentary and would do entire days of less than 500 steps and near 10k calories.. i decided to do that like 2 days before my birthday. i’d just heard of this sick ass chinese food place that does only delivery?? they had the most BOMB crab rangoons. those things are absolutely decadent

anyways i was literally eating from the moment i woke up until i slept. hashbrowns, croissants, bacon, so many chicken sandwiches, french fries, box of mega stuff oreos, wg shake with like 10oz of heavy cream, and then even more i can’t even remember!! but. i decided to get delivery from that place again and i got 15 crab rangoons, 20 wings, and then soup or smthn?? anyways it was so much i was huge at the end of the night

and then i got food poisoning. woke up at 3am dying and i watched the entirety of yellowjackets season 1 in a haze of nausea, in and out of consciousness

#all i remember is the plane falling and they’re all screaming #wish i had a pic of the insane amount of filling that were in those crab rangoons #also the worst part about this now is that i can’t eat those anymore :((( makes me soooo nauseous #talk #ask

man i fucking LOVE how hard bucchigiri?! commits to arajin being a complete shit, it's so relatively rare for shows not to rush to redeem their asshole mcs which is, eh, fine but often uncompelling

like the most predictable way for this fight to have gone would have of course been for arajin to lose his will to fight (even to live, dramatic ass lmao) after being rejected by mahoro, and then rediscover that will when he sees matakara hurt, and realizes he doesn't want the past to repeat

would have been fine i guess but in all honesty ARAJIN HAS NOT EARNED THAT MOMENT. yes from the flashbacks he gets, and the timing of them, it's obvious a lot of his current complex has to do with him not being able to protect matakara in the past. he either doesn't want to be put in a situation where he has to protect someone again, where he can fail, or he can't forgive himself for the past (or both)

but he also is genuinely a gross horndog and it's seriously refreshing that the show has the balls to continue to let him be that. i feel like way too many series are so concerned* about making their protags likeable that they forget to let them be interesting, and forget that sometimes shitbags that are not at all likeable can be SO fun to watch (like arajin is)

anyway arajin is still The Worst and i'm so glad for that 🥰

*i guess in all fairness this isn't exactly an unwarranted concern bc so many viewers these days also fail to realize that a character that is not a likeable person is not necessarily a bad/uninteresting character lmao, it's like. a shame that shows have to walk on eggshells with these things but. for shows that want to be widely marketable. understandable i guess. it's just sometimes (many times, in fact almost all the time)... things that are widely marketable...... are worse.........

#crab watches #bucchigiri?! #tl;dr arajin still SUCKS and i love him so much 🥰 #i wish nothing but the worst for him 🥰 #genuinely just thrilled by how this series is COMMITTING to being weird and gross #i guess there's still half the season for them to swerve if they want #but they've already been bolder with Letting Characters Be Assholes than most things these days #so i'm proud of them/happy with them for that

Beast Wars Rampage

#poll #maccadam #transformers #smash or pass #request #beast wars #rampage #hannibal lector crab #i wish bw s3 wasnt so rushed so he couldve been a more compelling character #honestly i feel like they tried to make cannibalism his whole schtick besides having his spark in megatron's possession #and that couldve been really cool but the trouble is these are the predacons amd everyone's already doing cannibalism for funsies #like. tarantulas tries to do vore three episodes in. dinobot ears his own clone. hell even rhinox threatens to deep fry terrorsaur. #the hell makes rampage so special? oooo show me your fear #babygirl cmon get a hobby or something #at least he had depth charge but still #they were so rushed and its genuinely pretty sad because i think if depth charge knew about the transmutate incident #it might break his perception of rampage and lean into him questioning whether or not hes truly a mindless killing machine #it would also help if transmutate was important for more than one episode and also maybe had a degree if agency #but thats a different rant

Me: Man, I should really watch Cats! The Musical so I can understand all these great Bigtop Burger references.

Me: Watches the first minute of Cats! The Musical and sees all the sexy furry cat people shimmying and cavorting and crawling around and rubbing their bodies against each other in skin-tight stripy leotards

Me: Man, you know what, maybe... maybe next time, actually. Definitely next time.

#bigtop burger #Im not trying to shame Cats the musical or anyone who likes it #but everytime I try to watch it I cringe into my skin like a hermit crab retreating into my shell and I don't know why #I want to watch it to get all the btb lore so bad #but I just CANTTTT #I'm going to try to introduce myself to it gradually #like immersion therapy #wish me luck
