dancing in the faerie ring

honestly in theory , website to host all of this character stuff would probably be great idea . but ... actually kind of like on dreamwidth , even with inconveniences . not often get comments , but feel like ... at least this is possible , unlike static website . and much less pressure than website to feel like everything must be in perfect polish final state !

very early to do so - this event is not until june - but work on craft and draft some stuff up for elder scrolls gala event on tumblr !
problem : workspace is now absolute mess , and need to clean because stress brain , but too much pain from sit so much . ugh .

this is fun though ! at least up until this point where mess is stress . always struggle with backgrounds , so decide would put together little paper collage background for this . then can photograph really cool like , and have something neat for ... surprises :)

could so easily obsess into dollhouses and miniatures ... make little faerie world ... no . must not . must not !
ugh , but would so love to make little faerie gardens and houses ... like what people do with broken pots , little shelves ... and really would love to dedicate some kind of space for miniatures , make projection cosier for wee folk of kossai .

yeah ... paid time run out several months ago , and still not able to replace , but work on some of mood theme pixels anyway . want more animations , for sure - and angry feelings especially have almost no variation . some of new files so far include bouncy , exhausted , and silly :)

hopefully will be able to get more time soon , and then can properly edit mood theme once again ! until then , kind of just ... have files .

would love to own beautiful candle snuffer .
... too sensitive to smells to actually use candles !

ahh . maybe some day perfect candle snuffer will fall into lap , even with no candles to snuff . sometimes need trinkets just to appreciate , no ? :D

so kossai have wide net of channel subscriptions through freetube , just ... why not , right ? see little glimpses into these other worlds .

anyway . this one video - tips to look 10 years younger ! which is weirdly enough not even from beauty channel , but organisation one .
...
think if kossai look any younger people would mistake for zygote . :D

able to stay awake all day today so far , no impromptu naps ! really happy with this - last few days rough , fall asleep in awkward places and positions , so this is improvement and hopefully sure sign of recovery . 
eat is still pretty hard , but better luck with that today also , especially after nightmare of yesterday . 

swell entertainment put out video about blind boxes and oh , have some thoughts . pretty much agree with everything here - this is why refuse to buy into any sort of mystery toy , but also think about gacha games now .

years ago , actually did play LLSIF - think one of friends from back then recommend as fun rhythm game , and want someone else to talk with , no problems there . but did find was hard to stay away from gacha mechanic , because of how everything structure - scores , accomplishments , everything depend on better cards , and those better cards come from rarest gacha pulls .
never did spend any actual money on that game , but for some time was obsessive about all ways to earn free gacha gems , and not to mention high ranks in events to get those good cards . game part was fun , but at some point start to feel like design as gacha first and game second . even when take breaks and come back , would end up right back at gacha despite everything .

anyway . while kossai did not spend money , did watch others who did . and this one which stick in head was this woman who look for fruits series eli ayase . 40 minute video , as record in several different sessions . in each one , woman fail to find fruits eli . and would say , OK , can not give up . this next time will be lucky , will just buy more gems .
after hundreds of dollars , never did get that fruits eli . did get plenty of other rare cards , but all of those outright disappointment . absolute devastation in this woman's voice , over what was essentially digital picture .

kicker is that this original LLSIF is now dead and gone . everyone who ever spend money on that game now have nothing to show .
pro tip : if ever really like some kind of gacha card , just save that picture to computer . no one can take away then . :P
think only mystery products kossai would consider is something like trinket or craft supply grab bag . imagine in most cases would be able to enjoy and use anything which receive , which is very important part for kossai .

sometimes like to watch product reviews and just think about things kossai would do - like , not things kossai would make , but details like front of box label necessary tools . not everyone will have hot glue gun , better for people to save money than meet disappointment !
would also never make any blind bag rare mystery gimmick , that shit should die out 10 years ago . no one but company benefit from this - kids build up excitement and then find disappointment , or learn to value things on rarity and not actual preference , adult collectors have to work so much harder , everyone waste money … lot of bad habits .
