My three year old daughter came home with a Minnie Mouse figurine, distraught. The plastic toy was missing an arm, and my daughter insisted she couldn’t play with it because it was broken.
I told her that she could still play with it! That some people were born without an arm or that they might get hurt and lose an arm, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t still play or have fun. I explained that some people might get a prosthetic or just have a stub. And she asked what a prosthetic was. I showed her a picture and she was like, “oh! A robot arm!”
When my husband came home, she thrust the toy at him and told him, “Minnie needs a robot arm.”
He was very confused, but he prints and paints miniatures from various table top games. My daughter refers to them as “daddy’s statues.” She knew he could help Minnie. So he dutifully printed her out a robot arm from a warhammer 40k model on our 3d printer, and then they painted it pink and purple together.
All of this to say, look at Minnie Mouse and her new prosthetic!!

Here’s a post about how to create smoother miniatures for the anon. It’s about your printer. (Includes more typical examples of my husband’s miniature painting).

btw i'm sure this is nothing new on account of it having been well over 6 months by now since totk released and we had the no dlc bomb dropped. but i wasnt posting back then so idc ^_^
anyway the funniest thing about totk is no kass 100%. like. what happened to him. they dont even mention him by NAME and the only time hes ever even really mentioned is penn talking about him like this distant legendary figure and not like some guy who was playing his accordion in the woods. i hope amali divorced him

im rewatching signals and i just fully registered the line "shadow weaver used to tell me about ghosts in the horde" for the first time. like i always just went "fear control tactic, got it" but the way adora then describes it really makes it sound like shadow weaver sat them all around at night for Story Time and its like. i know it was all manipulation but i can totally see how she built a "relationship" with them over the years doing things like that that almost seem innocuous or like bonding and are actually just feeding in propaganda

Remember that ASL + Uta Band AU I made not long ago? Yeah? Well, here you have a really short playlist about it (Yes, their band is obviously called Drums of Liberation. What did you all expect?)
I am making playlists for the other bands I have in mind because I got too into this AU. I'm not sure if I'll ever write something about this, but damn I have so many ideas already... You'll see... I even have a Google doc with it. And I finally finished making the story about how these four ended up making a band and everything!!
Btw, check out the amazing fanart @elsdreamworld made for this AU that I used for the cover of the playlist.

all the continued little jokes about how 'armand is presenting a fake version of his history where lestat was suuuper into him teehee what liar.' lestat literally said he any attraction he felt for anyone before armand was a fleeting shadow compared to what he felt for him and he only understood desire after they met. but ok. 'armand is the only person in the universe lestat doesn't want to fuck.' lestat choses not to be with armand because of being violated and betrayed, but he rejects armand - by which i mean, doesn't just tell him no, but tells him he's disgusting and that he could never love him - specifically as a way to hurt armand and get back at him. because lestat is spiteful and does not care if it makes him miserable to send armand away (and it does), so long as he can even the score and regain the upper hand. but yeah armand is just pathetic and making up a kiss because lestat thinks he's gross.
