Posting about the world's least canonical ship & having somebody tag it like "this is making me want to watch that show" is always so funny like no sorry I'm lying to you

oxidized copper is such a beautiful color palette. The rich reds with the cool teals. Such a vibrant combo. No one is doing it like her.

People who insist tumblr must be 90% LGBT because their self-curated dash is have never gotten a weird comment on a post and went to check the person's blog and discovered an entire deep subculture of christian and tradwife users reblogging anti-abortion quotes and transphobia between each other. I promise you they're on here.

Oh yeah I made a Spinel art doll like ages ago and never posted the photos because I wanted to edit them but my ass ain't doing that!

Head, hands and shoes sculpted with clay, body made of wire and fabric! Heavily inspired by @strangegutz

I think there should be more chill giant spiders in fantasy. They don’t even need to be able to talk or anything, but they should come and untangle our protagonists from their webs because they have very strict rules about what they eat and why and when and sentient creatures are not on there and the babies should be cute and spiders think humans are cute and help them out like if we find a hedgehog in a beer can or something.

itsy bitsy!

i wanted to play with proportions and make something as close to a chibi as i'm able to get -> ended up with this palm-sized spider. a fun experiment and mega charming, though if i'm ever struck by the urge to print more of these, i will probably make them a bit less compact.

the floral patterns are cut from a satin shirt i thrifted specifically for this purpose. i love this technique, especially because i don't have to worry about it rubbing away at joints.

And then there's the fact that Team Rocket's Jessie ALSO has pink hair and blue eyes and wanted to be a Pokemon nurse!

So, okay. In the Anime, Nurse Joy is one of a couple of NPC families, probably an in-joke about being based on an RPG. In the original series, they were all identical individuals who were related (through marriage inexplicably sometimes) who shared the same name.

Not only are they physically identical, but they also have regional variants, which honestly are just like clothing style and hairstyle differences as art changes aside, they still look similar enough between regions that a hairstyle change could make them pretty good ringers for one another.

But, then in Diamond Pearl, they delivered this shocker:

We met Marnie and Page Joy and their father, Karsten. The implication is that

1.) Nurse Joy genes are passed down matrilineally. Anybody can have a child with the Nurse Joy and there is a chance they'll be like a clone of the mother.

2.) Joy is in fact their last name and that too, is passed down matrilineally. Having a living father does not stop them from having the last name Joy.

Now, Horizons/Pokemon SV gives us a unique specimen. A teenage/young adult delinquent Nurse Joy. Now, the Mossui Town Pokemon Center Lady isn't CONFIRMED to be a Nurse Joy relative and as far as we know, there's no other nurses in her region that resemble her.

In the most recent Japanese episode, we also see a Grandma Joy, confirming in fact that Nurse Joy does age, but also she's a Kanto Nurse Joy with a unique hairstyle compared to even the Joys at the same Pokemon Center.

But, then there's Molly. Molly is the first Pokemon Nurse who's a main character. She's IMPLIED to be a Nurse Joy as she claims to come from a family of Pokemon Doctors and is seen eventually working for Pokemon Centers.

When she as a young Pokemon Doctor, she bore a passing resemblance to a Galarian Nurse Joy, but notably, has always had a distinct design from the identical Nurse Joy family, which grew more distinct when she became independent and decided to travel the world treating Pokemon rather than stay at a Pokemon Center.

However, despite being a distinct design, she shares the basic physical features of a Nurse Joy as well as the voice actor, implying some manner of relation.

made another troll, this time with extra moss. i managed to find some green fluffy yarn, and my partner gave me a piece of fuzzy knit fabric, and i put them to use immediately. the sticks and bark are, as usual, real. the staff & the troll's hand have magnets in them, so the staff stays on nicely and even supports the doll.

one day i will take one of my forest creatures out into the woods to photograph, but not today. too hot & sunny to even poke my nose outside. me and this creature share the desire to sleep under moss in a cool, shaded forest until the rest of the world also becomes a bit more cool & shaded.

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist
