Hey !

What if the cast had children, but their kids ended up taking on personalities that were the complete opposite of them and similar to other existing characters? Like for example, Milo's child being more serious, uptight, like Gabriel, while Gabriel’s child might become more reckless and carefree, like Milo

You can included the other characters if you want ~

Enjoy the rest of your day ✨

Milo: He would not know what to do with the kid. He would keep trying to get the kid to come out and steal things or break into one of the Artisan Alley shops. Or throw eggs at a wall. And the kid would tattle on him every time.

Gabriel: He would go bald. The little delinquent of a child, running around the market, setting free any animals. Nabbing steam buns. The kid would get dragged into the precinct constantly and Gabriel just wouldn't know what to do.

Belladonna: A care free child who didn't value position or intelligence? She would be okay with it. She wouldn't love it, but she would be okay. And you better believe she has that kid protected in a bubble because she is killing anyone that would dare take away her child's happiness.

Hazel: I'm not sure what the exact opposite of Hazel would be, but given how she grew up, I don't think she would mind a child different from her at all. She would celebrate those differences.

Malcolm: He would just be tired. He would accept the kid and love them dearly, but oh man would he be tired from the amount of stress that would bring. There would be a huge joint effort on behalf of him and his partner/partners. And a lot of going to aunty Hazel's to have the kid run around on the 'farm'.

Just.

Howdy, with his face buried in his hands: “If I give you the groceries will you leave-“

I had underestimated how bad some mobile games have gotten; Whenever I use Duolingo, there's this Township ad that hss this Age of Empires/Rollercoaster Tycoon type of vibe, but doesn't actually feature anything from the ad in the game.

As I did like the game from the ad, I actually tried to look up a game similar to the ad and ended up at this game called My Mini Mart which featured the actual gameplay mechanics from the Township ad. I had a feeling it was gonna be "freemium" with micro transactions, but wasn't prepared for the fact there was gonna be an ad break what felt like every thirty seconds!

I didn't want to pay for an ad free version of the game, but eventually gave up and deleted the entire app as I was tired of the constant ad breaks that featured games exactly like the one I was playing and so many ads where the skip button wouldn't work properly.

The whole experience made me feel like I was a cog in the profit machine of what felt like an endless pyramid scheme worth of mobile games full of misleading ads.

Fortunately I still have Age of Empires, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and even similar games like Caesar II and Age of Mythology on CD to play on my computer, but it is disappointing that I couldn't enjoy a normal game without it trying to generate as much profit as it could from me.

How did we get here? Did the economy really get this bad or have (mobile) gaming companies gotten more greedy?

Games are supposed to be a form of escapism or any way of unwinding from this capitalist hellhole that we live in, not contribute to it! Mobile gaming has become such a luxurious hobby, it seems.

Day Off

- from Pino Jelly Star Project

- artist YUMI

- by Pop Mart

This one was a birthday gift blindbox pull.

I love the Pino Jelly look - a fictional pop singer from a candy world - but this was my first pull from the series.

The hook here is candy colored translucent plastic, gradient painting, and a hyper glossy finish to give that hard candy look. It's such a visually stunning piece in person. My (very dark) photo area doesn't do it justice.

It's a chunk toy, and very visually alluring. It draws attention to a shelf. I'm definitely getting more of these down the line.

The night market having kids from vessels?

MC/Mal/Milo kid(s) born from a lantern. I'm ugly crying at the thought.

Oh.... oh that's the sweetest image. All curled up in a little glowing lantern until they are ready to be born.

I'm fine. I'm really fine about this.

Makeover Time!

I got a duplicate Barbara Maitland mystery mini & need to decide how to repaint her. She’s definitely getting the Musical makeover (green dress), but I can’t decide on her hair, skin tone, and shoes.
