Just a few repetitive, craptastic quick photos of my Adorable Arts Sephiroth and Cloud Strife figures. I love Sephiroth, I wish they hadn't given him a side-glace, or at least given an optional head-sculpt, like they did with Cloud. I understand they gave Sephy his wing, but I can't say I wouldn't have preferred another head instead, or even multiple faceplates. His hair gets in the way of posing the head, unlike Mr. Terrible-Attitude-Strife, who has a very nice range of motion at the head. Sephy's luscious hair impedes any movement if any -- which is the case with most of the figures based on him at any scale, that have any movement whatsoever.
It was kind of a pain in the back, switching Sephy's arms and placing his wing on. I am not sure if it's intended to keep his arm lowered when he has the wing on. However, it can be done, so that's what I am keeping him like for a while. The wing is a bit heavy, so there's a support piece for it. Which I won't be using, because I know I'll lose it. However, I will keep the wing on for only a short while. I don't want to keep switching pieces, so I'll probably just display them the way they are now (default from box). I decided not to switch any parts on Cloud, because it was a bit annoying to do on Sephy. I know I always complain about lack of having optional parts, and now that I do, I don't want to switch them out. However, I am not a fan of how they decided to tackle the peg or the way the pieces attach. I can see it was a decent solution for such tiny figures, but it's annoying. It might just be an issue with my Sephy, and maybe it's smoother on other figs (maybe even on Cloud), but I am keeping them with the parts they have on now forever! lol!
I might switch the arms on Cloud someday, but I definitely want to not keep the wing on Sephy for a long time. I fear it might ruin the peg-hole in the long run without support -- I don't want that! These are adorable figues, as the series name implies. The Midgar background insert they come with is great for displaying them, or even taking crappy photos with, as I did. DX I'm very happy with these, I look forward to Vincent, and maybe Nanaki... I try not to collect Nanaki stuff, because I am a weirdo when it comes to animal-related toys. I am an animal lover, so anything that comes close to real animals or toys based on "realistic" animals, I avoid getting. They make me greatly depressed for some reason. Although I have always been tempted by Red XIII's figures, I always keep myself from getting any. Adorable Arts version of him, however, might be an exception, if they make one.

On lattes and Writing
On lattes and Writing
Your hobby might have meh results at first, but keep trying.
It’s a chilly 15° F -9°C in my Seattle Eastside suburb. Here’s my warmup cinnamon vanilla latte.
My first shot at latte art is meh.
However, I’m really getting good at making cafe quality lattes at a fraction of their prices. I didn’t start out that way. My first lattes were craptastic.
I’ve never been someone who is instantly good…

Kakashi's expression when he realized Gai was going to open the 8th gate. Discuss.
HELLO. WHICH FACE DID YOU MEAN THERE WERE SEVERAL SAD KAK FACES
SO. Instead of talking about Kakashi’s feelings about the 8th gate how bout we discuss the fact that Kakashi does not find out Guy lived until after the whole war was over????
I give you Naruto healing Guy and depositing him with Lee (read R->L):
NOW. Look how far away Kakashi is from all of this.
Also. Kakashi p much says he’s going blind in his sharingan eye so he couldn’t have seen much. Naruto tells him nothing.I’m pretty sure that Kakashi has presumed Guy for dead throughout the whole Kaguya/Obito debacle arc. (This, along with him assuming Tenzo is also dead accounts pretty damn well for his breakdown omfg).
NOW. Imagine Kakashi tired as heck after the war. He’ll live - he has to - for the goddamn village, for his students, for Obito’s dream of being a hokage. Because Kakashi has always been the only one who lived.
Now imagine Kakashi going to help free the people from the cocoons. Imagine him finding Guy. Imagine him waiting on tenterhooks while his friend recuperates at the (likely makeshift) hospital. Imagine him not knowing if Guy will live.
Imagine his face when Guy does.
Imagine him becoming hokage with Guy at his side oh wait
Excuse me while I go die of feels.

Honey, I’m Good
"Now better men than me have failed
Drinking from that unholy grail.
Now check it out, I've got her and she got me
And you've got that ass, but I kindly gotta be like-Oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby.
My baby's already got all my love."

I'm really glad to have followed my "do not insult your craptastic art in public" rule. No matter how much it sucks. People have enjoyed it! I've enjoyed it once I've gotten some distance! It doesn't need pre-emptive defending or insults as expectation lowerers. (Two cakes rule 5eva.)
