The top half of a model of Wing Gundam cradled in a hand wearing a black glove. It is mostly white, blue, and yellow, and is looking modestly into the camera.


I bought MG Wing Gundam ver.Ka back in April of 2018, which is several lifetimes ago now. Looking at that date, I momentarily wondered how I'd managed to get to a nerd convention. The Summer of the Doors, however, was a little closer to actually happening in summer; that ridiculousness started in May.

I don't think the Summer of the Doors, and by that I do mean actual physical doors not The Doors, had anything to do with not tackling Wing back then. It was more that Wing is a MG and at that point I'd never actually finished an MG. It took until this year to finish MG Infinite Justice and I'd started him back in what, 2010?

I've actually finished Wing, but I like this half-built photo best. He's got a lot of personality and while building went from rather morose to downright adorable and has settled into somewhat resigned. (I think he's cute though.)

Well, finished aside from waterslide decals, which I need both practice with and to make some decisions because like many MGs, Wing comes with a ridiculous amount of decals and the instructional photos and diagrams honestly look overdone. I also have a tiny Heero Yuy still on the runner and the urge to paint him as a youngster Gai Murakumo is intense.

The rest of my week involves getting the kitchen under control so I can keep cleaning up Monster High dolls for the nerd convention in a couple of weeks.

So much to sort through, so little time and energy.

I am signed up for WritingMonth and so can you! If you want to be buddies, I'm 'kalloway' there as well. ^_^ My goal is 100 stories but that is 100 very short stories. Last year I managed 80 despite my life being absolutely on fire so maybe I can manage the full 100 and I think a We Didn't Start The Fire joke goes here or something.

Did the pre-signup for a secret santa in the one little gunpla discord I'm in. Offered to subsidize a local friend for the next month if necessary. (probably necessary) Gonna try to toss some cash at the food pantry. (obstructed more by their hours being counter to mine than anything - obviously a me-problem) Still debating how much I want to do with [community profile] holiday_wishes, though I suspect the annual 'I can give more!' will envelop me at some point even if I want to humbug.

Comic-con is on the 22nd so I suppose I need to actually start sorting through things. I'm burning some vacation time the week before so at least I'll be mildly rested and hopefully so tired of looking at my stuff that I just toss it in the bags of whoever walks by our table. Or something.

Finished watching the quarter's JFF films and will, as always, aspire to watch the next batch before the last possible minute.

Hythlodaeus
canon:
Final Fantasy XIV
Friendly, mischievous, but ultimately wants for you to succeed. Capable of seeing souls, which has given him an interesting view on death compared to many others in conjunction with his society's social mores. A carefree sort, sometimes to the point of irresponsibility.
confidence

Snatcher
canon:
A Hat in Time
Soul-stealing ghost that used to be a prince who wanted to be a lawyer. Divorced and spiteful about it (with good reason). Loud, arrogant, and surprisingly charismatic, but frequently hoisted by his own petard.
confidence

Christo
canon:
Disgaea 5
An angel pretending to be a demon, and a tactical genius with a ruthless streak. A good person deep down, but sometimes slips into thinking he's better than others. It's difficult to tell when his smiles are sincere.
confidence
70% - decent, but needs canon review




TESTING/SHAKY

RETIRED
Vyers (Mid-Boss)

Behold, a demon of grace, love, and beauty: the Dark Adonis! ...Who frequently gets tagged with the nickname "Mid-Boss." Pompous, vain, and over-the-top, he's a surprisingly kind and competent man deep down. He's also dead and took this form in order to keep an eye on his son.

Mao
canon:
Disgaea 3
The Number One Honor Student and Dean/Overlord of Evil Academy, this demon is ready to cut class, never do his homework, and refuse to donate to charity.

Isn't in tune with his emotions at all.
confidence
10% - it's been too long
