"they're not graceful", "they're not elegant", "They're not angelic"

-and i took that personally (as a challenge!)

Helloooooo! So I promised a surprise for Mimosa's birthday and here it is! 🎉✨

I made a ghost/ukagaka of him and Mu!!!!

If you don't know what a ghost is, it's a sort of desktop pet! You can have them on the corner of your screen or interact with them! Play with them! Give them gifts! Talk with them! Pet them... Many things to do ;)

If you never had a ghost, I'm gonna explain how to download everything to make them work! If you're not a beginner, you can scroll and download the files (first the font, second the balloon then the nar ;3c)

Oooook lesssgo, the steps:

Download SSP on your computer! It's the thing ghosts work on, the files are all but useless without it! Here's the link: [http://ssp.shillest.net/] Fair warning, it's gonna be in japanese- Don't be scared and just click the download button!

2. Double click on the thingie, and unzip it! I advise to not unzip it in your downloads and give it its own secured folder however ;P

Then to start SSP click on the ribbon in the now unzipped files, ignore the rest, there are just "the guts" on the ghost (I mean you can read the "README" file if you're unfamiliar to all this or are curious, it explains stuff)

3. Let the cat girl (Emily) talks for a second (in japanese sorry be patient) until it opens a lil' window with stuff written (in japanese ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Click on the right button at the bottom

4. You're good to install them now! Download and install the three files down there ! In that order: the font, the balloon, the nar

Happy Monkey font!

Mimosa talks with the happy monkey font, if you don't have it already (I didn't), download the font and install it on your computer so that what he says doesn't look weird! I promise it will look neater if you do that!

the balloon file (zip)

It's his personal talking bubble! If you don't have it, the bubble won't be adapted to them. ;w;

Download it and drag the file on the japanese-talking girl, she will do the work for you!

Open the right-click menu by, well, right-clicking on the girl and go to the balloon and select "mimomu-balloon". You might want to change the language to "english" as well! The balloon is set!

Do that before installing the nar or he won't use the good bubble for the introduction!

the nar file of the ghost

And it's the important file with the kids in it :3

Download it! If you have the font and the balloon installed, you can go and drag the nar file on Emily and you'll be done! You can change ghost in the right-click menu if you want ;3

Tell me if something is unclear <3

Now I have people to thank!

@creative-firebug was the big motivator and enabler! No ghost without them. And they found lil' bugs in it so I could fix them before putting it out in the wild too! Getting lil' hypes, hearts and advices really helps when you're working on something for months! And they linked me the tutorial so yes, enabler.

@zarla-s has created the template I used (Girl and triangle!)! I knew nothing (and still don't know a lot) of code and just how it works at all so thanks for that :D

@ukagakadreamteam answered questions I had and half of the fun stuff wouldn't have been possible without their answers!!!!!

Both Mimosa and Mu are my lil' kiddos shipkiddies

That middle child feel when you’re the one who successfully gets you and your siblings out of trouble only to immediately get jumped by them afterwards

actually more to say re: that quote about carmen being the "female don giovanni" -- which tbf to some extent I get why someone would say that, given that the way they change lovers often and the way they view love in general have some similarities. however.

there's the low-hanging fruit of carmen and don giovanni not being the female/male versions of each other simply because don giovanni constantly uses his status and power as a nobleman to get away with whatever he wants to do to anyone of a lesser social standing, and carmen (despite the influence she has over some men due to their infatuation with her) still has a much lower status and much less power in the world compared to don giovanni because of her gender, ethnicity, and class.

but then there's the issue with the "don giovanni and carmen would both rather die than not be true to themselves" interpretation of the ending of each opera too. and while I think that can be true for carmen I don't think it's at all true for don giovanni. don giovanni lies, disguises himself, goes back on his word, misleads people constantly throughout the opera -- in carmen's entrance recitative and aria she tells other characters and the audience exactly her approach to love, and the rest of the opera proves that she was being honest.

carmen can sometimes be playful and vague, or refuse to tell other characters what they want to know (as in the arrest scene), and her thoughts and emotions shift rapidly, but she doesn't lie or pretend to be a completely different person the way don giovanni does. carmen IS actually true to herself until her death, don giovanni doesn't even feel like he has a self to be true to.

Family portrait of an agrarian bugferret household, including their unofficially adopted avian (Rooturoo). By bugferret standards, the family is both small and strangely put together. More details under the cut!

This family manages a large farm in an avian/bugferret space station city. The current household makeup is relatively new. The oldest, Tanyirr, Swiitah, and Lyooi, are the last of the 'old guard'. The most recent member is Kiiwah, a spacer adopted after being divorced from a different family.

All the names displayed here are their nicknames given by Rooturoo. Most refer to avian homeplanet foods. The family in general speaks BFL-2 and Tiiliitian sign, so Rooturoo and Kiiwah are the only ones who speak vocal languages with any frequency.

Rooturoo occupies a very unusual space in the family. The bugferrets already ran a large portion of the avian agriculture in the city due to a governing quirk. Rooturoo originally helped out with the avian crops, being both suited to the ambient temperatures and an expert in xenobotany. Over time though... they became more than a colleague. They're now considered a member of the group.

The children are all very young. Their layer parents are Hshni, Oonruh, Uriimah, and Crriah (from oldest children to youngest). The rest of the ferrets are unrelated.

Will ask Dr. Seward to be let out in the gardens unsupervised to hunt. If he denies me then I can bring a hand to my chest, gasp, and yell “DURING THIS MONTH?!” then watch him explain himself.

One of the earliest examples of Leo’s “I’ll do my own thing to accomplish our goal without discussing it with my team first” is in episode one. It’s super, super quick, and ultimately inconsequential, but it subtly sets up a great precedent that I think is very interesting.

When the boys need to grab the medallion from Splinter without Splinter noticing, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie huddle together with Raph taking the lead in trying to devise a plan to get the mystic device. Meanwhile, Leo slinks away and grabs the device by clocking the situation (by knowing his father well enough to predict his actions - something he does with each family member multiple times in the series) and making a move on his own.

It works out perfectly fine, and is ultimately the best move, and it’s honestly okay that he didn’t consult everyone for something so small when it’s such a non issue to get it, but it nicely sets up how this tends to go in the series, including how it goes in the movie.

To be honest episode one is actually really good at setting up a lot of things for each character in the long run, this is just one example that caught my attention, as small and unassuming as it is.

SECRET LIFE SPOILERS!!!

Some Secret Life traditional sketches of Session 6! My digital art was looking doodoo so I tried to fight artblock by going back to paper. MY CAMERA SUCKS THOUGH. Maybe I'll transfer to digital someday.

Edit: FUCK. I FORGOT JOEL HAS THE LIFE MERCH ON THIS SEASON.
