YOU SELECTED: CIRCLE SKIRT

not gonna lie, this one surprised me a little!!! (or, the fact it was such a clear winner did anyway!) you wont hear me complaining though, i LOVE a circle skirt, theres just something about the way they move that no other skirt shape seems to match, no matter how much fabric is in it. i hope youre looking forward to pattern cutting shenanigans way down the line, the lay plan for this is gonna be Weird....

Moving on from skirts, its time to think about what the top of this dress might look like.....

(for the purposes of this poll, a shirt dress is going to refer to anything with a button front closure and a collar of some kind)

additional notes under the cut as usual

Heres just a handlful of examples of what a shirt dress Could look like- shirt dresses were a super popular style for casual 50's style dresses, and ive had making one on my list for a while (i actually have a green duvet cover earmarked to make one one day i think, though in my research for this ive seen a super cool dress i might take inspo from for it instead, esp if this becomes a shirt dress) i love all the different options for collars & sleeve styles you can pick from, all the places you can have a fun little accent! i could pick fun matching or contrast buttons, there could be some trim around the collar or the button stand.... theres so many ways to play around with this!

another pro of the shirt dress is specific to the fact were making a circle skirt. one thing on the negative side of the shirt dress is that center front seam, splitting the pattern completely in half at the best spot to see it in all its glory- however as i mentioned in the skirt post, with this fabric, the way i cut the circle skirt is probably gonna be a bit weird, and its going to leave me with a whole bunch of odd shaped pieces that will probably benefit from smaller individual pattern pieces that shirt dresses have (i cannot say for certain until im working on my layout, though, and i have none shirt dress ideas that will do this too, but! its definitely something to note) it'd also be a way to make the center front seam the circle skirt will probably have seem more intentional into the design (though again, i have ways to combat that in the case that we dont go this way)

howeverrrrr i am very on the fence about a shirt dress being the right way to take this project. again, shirt dresses are a super popular casual style! but in that way, i worry itll be harder to style in a way that seems more formal- especially with the print and fabric combination (ive definitely seen more formal reading shirt dresses, but they tend to be boosted by the fabric choices, satins or taffetas, things that seem fancier in general) i would like to get some "nice occasion" wear out of this dress if i can, and i think that may be harder this way.

Also, i already own so many blouses, it might be better to have something that brings a different silhuette into my wardrobe. although i do wear those blouses the most, so it also might be ideal to make something that emulates styles im already drawn to.

on the other hand, the options are truly endless if we dont go towards a shirt dress. these images are just a handful of the other style options ive seen out there- not to mention, the backs! i am deeply fond of the classic wide & high necklines that have a deep V into the back- in fact i already have a pattern that could work for this particular style. really, its pointless for me to start elaborating on what other options there are because literally anything you can imagine, we could do.

Finally starting to attach petpetpets to all of my permies and oogh, agh, oof. I had nothing to spend my NP on for a while so I was a accumulating a nice little nest egg. Not anymore.

Why are you the equivalent of a fucking mortgage payment.

[wttcsms]

notorious cocky womanizer pro athlete character who offers you amazing tickets to his game vs you, who resells the tickets to make a profit, so now your college apartment rent is paid for the next few months AND you have spending money. you think he’ll take it like a champ and you don’t even pay attention to sports at all so you don’t hear abt the viral footage of a very upset character on the field nor do either of you expect to run into each other again. except for when he travels for an out of town practice match that takes place in the same city your college is in, and he’s picking up some coffee and who else would be the barista but you.

an evening with @ staarri

c. various haikyuu characters

t. imagine this with your favorite artist or who you think they would like, fluff, gn!reader & male characters only. wc : ?

he enjoys the concert to the fullest with you. he knows every lyric, every song, every speech, and little thing the artist says. has been or is still a diehard fan—and he is very vocal about it too. likes to sing along, if not, scream along the songs. the type of person you’d hear screeching in “unhinged fan” recordings of that artist. though he doesn’t do it that often (thankfully), and only puts on that act when they play a song he especially likes. he likes to get ready with you and suggest having matching outfits, whether it be a reference to a lyric, a song, or something the artist has worn before.

(bonus. if this is a taylor swift concert, he already has a hoard of bracelets to give for you to trade them incase you run out.)

he’s more lowkey about it. knows the songs & the lyrics, but is mostly there to see you all happy & smiling because he got you barricade tickets to get as close to the performers as possible. he’s your social media manager, takes candid photos and videos of you enjoying the concert and the artist so you have memories to look back on. he’s not that quiet that it seemed like you dragged him along—don’t get him wrong, he likes being there. he’s just not the type to scream the lyrics like other people. if he knows you’ll enjoy the concert, he makes sure to get two tickets for different dates: the opening and the closing for that city. who knows? maybe you’ll even find yourself backstage getting your merch signed by the artist. you have no idea how your boyfriend knows about this though.

🏐 — akaashi, tsukishima, kageyama, oikawa, kuroo, sugawara, yamaguchi

you had to drag him along the concert because your friend couldn’t go. instead of reselling it, you took this as an opportunity to introduce the artist to your boyfriend with a very limited taste in music. its 50/50, either he’ll enjoy it and add some of the tracks to his playlist or he will stay silent on the ride home. this doesn’t mean he wont support you! he’s taking pictures for sure, just more you and less of the artist performing.

Welcome to the Official DailyFigures Bootleg Spotting Guide™!!!!

here are the steps that i like to use! each step does have exceptions so just keep going down the list until you're 100% sure!

1. where are you buying the figure?

if you're buying from a trusted figure store there is no need to worry. sites like amiami, solaris, nin-nin game, good smile company, crunchyroll store, etc. do not sell bootlegs. if you're buying from ebay or similar sites, an individual seller, a local store, etc. you need to be a little more careful. 

2. does the figure have a bootleg?

not every figure has a bootleg made of it! check myfigurecollection to make sure.

example ;

rapunzel miku has a bootleg, better check well before buying! vampire miku doesn't have a bootleg (yet?), you're good to go!

3. is the figure ridiculously cheap?

if the figure is extremely cheap for no apparent reason, it's probably a bootleg.

example ; 

this is a bootleg. no one in their right mind would pay 150 bucks for a real figure and sell it for 8.

4. is the figure being sold from china?

almost all bootlegs (apart from people reselling their bootlegs) are produced and sold in china. obviously there are real collectors selling real figures living in china too so there are exceptions, but i'd be careful if you're inexperienced.

example ;

almost all the bootleg sellers on ebay are located in china.

5. how are the seller's reviews?

if it's an individual seller you can ask them for proof of past sales. if it's a reseller website like ebay you can check the reviews on their profile. some bootleg sellers use bots to give themselves overly positive reviews. be wary of accounts with a lot of sales and somehow 100% positive reviews!

example ;

this ebay seller sells bootlegs and has 100% positive reviews.

6. how do the pictures of the figure look?

there's 3 options ;

☆ the figure looks like an obvious bootleg in the picture (unsure how to tell? we'll get to that!) -> it's a bootleg.

☆ the seller only uses the official promotional pics and none of their own -> suspicious. there's no way to visually check the figure so this is very risky.

☆ the figure looks good in the pictures that the seller took -> either this is good news OR the seller stole these pictures from someone else and will send you a bootleg. a red flag is using pics with bad quality and multiple different backgrounds/lighting (they stole the pictures from multiple different people). make sure to reverse image search their pictures!

7. how do you recognise a bootleg just from looking at it?

let's say you're looking at an ad and maybe the lighting is a little vague so you're just not fully sure whether the figure looks right or not. here's what we do!

1. get a picture of a bootleg of the figure in question which you can find on myfigurecollection (figure page -> pictures -> bootlegs).

2. get a picture of the real figure, preferably a user picture since promotional pics can look a little better than the real product. (figure page -> pictures -> figures).

3. pick some details that are clearly different between the original and the bootleg.

4. get a picture from the ad you're unsure about. check the details you've just picked. does it match the bootleg or the real figure? there we go!

example ;

these are user pictures of a real miku figure and a bootleg where i circled the differences i picked. in this case; the way her hair flows, the direction the pink flowers grow in and the length of the stem of the yellow rose.

here are two pictures i found in two different ads of this figure. i circles the differences i picked; the first pic has long straighter hair, pink flowers growing to the left direction and a yellow rose with longer stem. this is real! the right pic has shorter curled up hair, pink flowers growing straight down and a yellow rose with a very short stem. this is a bootleg!

thank you for reading my guide!!! i am by no means an expert, these are just the steps i like to use myself and i am absolutely open to suggestions and questions! :)

@ms-demeanor

I've taken a look at lenovo and I've found the perfect answer c.f. "why buy a framework"

Because Lenovo doesn't sell what I want -_-)

That is, yes, I can buy an old Lenovo and put in more ram/ssd - maybe even a new processor if it isn't soldered, and I can replace the battery.

But I cannot make the exact laptop that I want - nor is it available if I buy from completely new.

Aha, I thought, I'll look at like, Clevo resellers - they make machines in so many form factors, one of them will match what I want and then I'll just add the actual components that I want.

no dice -_-)

And Framework will just sell me the laptop I want.

except no hahaha they will not, not to my dumb ass in Denmark

F2U pony base!!! my ko-fi is https://ko-fi.com/beastwhimsy if you're feeling kind though [: I worked super hard on this!!! rules etc under cut!!

feel free to mix and match the parts!! I used a square brush on 100% opacity for the lineart. for $15USD I can make an OC or a custom design for you using these!!

RULES: - don't resell my work as a P2U base. this one is just common sense - don't use my bases to depict offensive characters such as nazis, transphobic caricatures, etc. again common sense - you can sell designs on these bases. credit me!!! and maybe send a few dollars my way if your sales go well!!! - please credit me and do not claim the art as your own. "base by beastwhimsy, edits by me" is a good way to phrase it!! - if I get $5 through my ko-fi I will add open wings to the base!!

I run my art through reverse image search machines often. please don't reupload!!! sharing this is fine with credit!! also, I'd love to see what you create!
