So I wanna try and cosplay my KNY OC at some point, but I've never cosplayed or made anything for a cosplay before, so tips would be nice and i wonder if this would even be achievable for me. Seems like getting a white one and dyeing it is the obvious answer for the gradient, but I could see that going wrong very easily since one color is very dark and the other is much lighter, so would it be too hard to get something like that? Also embroidering the flowers would be cool but I have no idea how to do that, so maybe i should paint it? Then again paint may wash off so should I try to learn embroidery first? Kanji on the back should probably also be done the same as the flowers, idk. The details don't have to be the exact same as some things are just hard to transfer to irl objects. I'll practice everything on scrap fabric before getting into the real thing, so I can learn a bit but any advice on best methods and stuff will help so I know what to try. Or maybe if there's somewhere I could just commission someone to do the whole thing, but I'm not sure where to look for that. Anyway, any advice is appreciated!

I finally got Douma todayy, and it's my first figure of him too!! I've had my Gaara one for years, and then I found a Kyojuro one a few weeks ago so i had to get him too, and then it only seemed fair to get Douma's so they can all match 🫶 ahh they're so cute!! I gotta make bracelets for him and Kyojuro too, since Gaara is the only one with little gifts right now (I gave him a little bottle of sand too, in case he wants it, sososo cute, and I have a matching necklace with another bottle!!) Anywayss just wanted to share

Granted, this was only the first attempt ever, but I had some hope. If I don't get him soon we'll lose our appointment slot and I'd rather him not take so long with that head wound. It's already been 2 days, at least he doesn't seem to be getting irritable or lethargic but I want him inside now and I'm annoyed that this isn't magically working on the first try. I thought my method was so good too, a trail of treats (not enough to fill him up before he gets in) and catnip, leading into the trap. Then at the back at the back, napkin with his usual wet food, topper, and churu all together. He followed the trail to just outside the trap and then didn't go any further, he didn't even really look like he was considering it, and then walked away. I caved and gave him food, but only a tiny portion, same this morning. I don't wanna withhold it entirely because I think he picks at neighbors' cats' food and will just end up eating anyway, and it might even just make him stop coming here if I don't feed him, and I can't trap if he's not here. I have a good quality wound care solution that I can try to put on his head next time he comes to the door, although i don't really wanna open the door cuz then he'll come to me and not the trap. But if i fail again tomorrow, I'll call him to the door before he leaves so i can put it on. I'm not even bothering with trap training, the trap is set so that I can get him the very first time he's willing to go in. How long does this usually take? I don't have time to wait around for him, I wish he knew it was important and for his own good, and like pretty urgent.

Don't really know what I'm gonna do if the answer is no, he can't get in any sooner. This was a small scratch yesterday and now it looks like this, I'm worried it's gonna get infected or already is. He's not gonna die in a week though, right? I don't know how it got so much worse so quickly but I'm scared for him. I really would take him in sooner but I cannot. I wasn't prepared for this in any way, none of the other cat resources in my city will work for this situation, and Monday is the best I can do for an appointment. How screwed am I? Also can I do anything to help hold him over until he can go?

For reference too, this (post link) was YESTERDAY. You can see in the pics it was not this bad, this is how much worse it's gotten.

It looks old or sick and I feel bad. Its fur is very patchy and like half bald (not very visible in the pics, i just put those for the sake of showing pictures at all,) it walks very slowly and kind of limping/off balance, its eyes look very wet and I know possums can't cry but it makes me wanna cry when he looks like he's crying. But I can't really do anything, right? It's a wild animal and it's not like i can just walk up to it, so I'm sad that I can't help it. Also it got bit twice by the smaller possum in the other pics, I tried scaring them away to stop that but I don't know. This is very upsetting to me in my normally sensitive and currently sleep deprived state. I wanna help all the animals and he's so sad and I can't even do anything. I hope it's not actually old cuz I'm gonna sob if there's a sad elderly possum getting beat up on my porch. I've had some of the regular possums die too so this is just making me think of them which is also sad.

Like a name, clan, anything really. I also don't know a lot about Warriors cuz I only read a few books when I was little but I still think it'd be fun to see. For right now since he's feral he lives outside and might as well be a Warrior cat, except that my sister told me they would be mad at him for being fed by me. But other than that lol, I just think it's fun that it kinda suits him

2 more drawings and then I can post the vid I'm putting together yayayy

Starting with a normal picture for visibility and cuz it's nicer than looking at crusty ears. He has that weird scab thing on the back of one ear, don't know what it is but it was previously bleeding and now looks like that. Black spots all over his ears and a bit on the eye, and I can't tell if those are wounds under his fur. I'm a little paranoid at the moment because I've been hearing about screw worm or something like that. I live in Texas and just keep seeing warnings about how bad it's spreading here apparently, especially in outdoor animals of course (he is/was feral, not an outdoor cat that i put out on purpose).

None of these seem terrible or anything but I wanna keep an eye on him and be aware of as much as possible right now. I plan to TNR either this month or next when my schedule opens up long enough, and I don't know when I'll get to take him for a general checkup since the TNR will be through the shelter and that's all they do, but if anything concerning pops up before then, I will get him to the vet at the speed of light itself. Just wanna know if I should be monitoring any of this. He's probably totally fine but I worry a lot about him, plus I really don't want to find maggots in his ear someday.

I feel like it's kind of weird to have pets that you're somewhat afraid of, that's kinda the reason I got them in the first place. They are fun to watch and I think they're cute, it's helped me feel less afraid of them but yesterday I got a better enclosure for my second one (the black one) and when I had to take him(?) out to move into the new one, he walked really quickly toward me and it scared me and i put the stick he was on back down and had to try again later. I feel a little bad cuz maybe he wanted to crawl on me and I might've scared him and made him feel discouraged and not trust me. Doesn't really matter if they trust me cuz I never take them out but I don't want them to be scared and I also wanna try holding them one day cuz it would be cute and probably help with the fear too. The root of said fear is probably biting, that's what scares me about most things and if anything is on me I'll picture it biting me which just puts me more on edge, and I heard jumping spiders are sometimes prone to biting from fear or confusion, or trying to hold onto you. I don't wanna accidentally hurt them if it happened either, I don't think I would but sometimes I get very irrational when I'm scared and I may fling them or something before I have time to think. Maybe not a good idea to hold them in that case but I don't wanna be scared if they just happen to crawl on me either.

They're cute, I feel bad that they seem to wanna get on me and I won't let them.

Also ignore how everyone else is using the A/B for one ship while i put 2 ships. Also don't judge my answers, i find it hard to pick favorites of things so some of these might be semi inaccurate or close ties of 2 characters where i just had to pick one

It's actually so bad I wanna invest in a guillotine or something. I get them very frequently and most of the time they last several days, always in the same spot (forehead+eyebrows, bridge of nose, temples, and around the back of my neck, especially right where it connects to my head like where my hair ends in the back). Only things i regularly take for it (cuz i don't know what you're supposed to use and my dad refuses to tell me for no reason) are ibuprofen (3 pills at a time) and some pain medicine my mom got from surgery and told me to take, it just said acetaminophen(??) I think, little white disc pills. Ibuprofen does nothing and the other ones made it a little better but still not good at all. Hot showers sometimes work for a short time, i can't sleep it off, massaging it and cracking my neck always feels like it should help but it doesn't, i just do it constantly in hopes it'll magically change. I don't know if it's a migraine or what, but I'd like a better recommendation on some more non prescription things i can try out first and if it doesn't work out maybe i can take it up with a real doctor. Medications of any kind rarely work for me but worth a shot cuz going to the doctor and convincing my parents to take me just over a headache won't get taken seriously, i already know it.

For the reminder yelling at me: 19F, 5'2", 101lbs, no substances or regular medications, nothing else relevant

I really wanted one but didn't have enough coins when I tried, and then I had to travel for a funeral and thought I could get one when I came back but I didn't know they were leaving the game 😭 I'm kinda mad they were lowkey the only event pet I really wanted and idk how I never heard or figured out that they were leaving

Genuinely every time I go outside he comes running, rubs all over me, and gets going on the biscuits in my lap lol. Somebody tell him he's not my cat (he's my neighbor's, before I get "he's your cat now" comments). Also the food in the one picture isn't for him, I'm not luring him away from his own house on purpose. It's for my strays and he rarely even touches it.

Saw a similar post in another sub and thought it would be silly to do. I picked here to do it cuz I keep seeing the fandom everywhere and I lowkey wanna get into it, but it would also be fun to do this first. Only things i "know" about it are assumptions I've made based on little clips, edits, fanart, etc so I wonder how far off I really am lol

I'm currently house sitting for someone, by the time I'm done I'll have been gone for a week. My mom said she'd feed him while I was gone but has been forgetting a lot and now says he hasn't come today and was barely there yesterday. The first 2 days I was gone, she said he slept under the car the entire day, if that makes a difference. I miss him and really wanna go home, I feel like I'm gonna lose him because of this, and when I finally get home I'll only have 2 days before I have to go out of town again for another week, and my parents will be on that one too so nobody will be home to feed him at all. I thought about asking someone to do it but his meal times are 6am and 8pm so it seems like too much to ask anybody, I decided against it. I have a gravity feeder of dry food that I'll leave but he prefers the wet food i give him and will probably just ignore the kibble. He'll probably find somewhere else to eat during that time, I suspect he has a place already even though I've asked around and nobody said they feed him too. He could just be stealing someone else's food and they don't know they're feeding him. Is this gonna be the end of our relationship, at least for a while? Will he even come back to notice when I get back? I've even gotten to the point of petting him now, I'm sad when he doesn't come around and I'm already sad in anticipation of him abandoning me after this. I have to take these house sitting jobs to get money for his TNR and vet stuff so it's for his own good but I wish I could still be home with him. It'll probably make it hard to trap him too if he stops showing up, so getting TNR money will be pointless. It's not that deep really, he's just a cat, but I'm really attached to him and it makes me sad. Is he gonna leave? And if so, do you think he'll be back soon or that it'll be a long time?

Set your keys ablaze idk. I love how is has his little sword thingy and all that aww. And I'm totally getting more stuff soon, i gotta stop spending all my money but now that i finally have disposable income i want more stuff. HE IS SO CUTE GRR

Maybe now i won't lose my keys cuz I'll wanna keep him in a safe spot

Or maybe maybe should i take off the charms to hang on my ita bag and keep the lanyard looking part normal? So many possibilities, I am so hyped about one little Kyojuro keychain AHH

ALSO. Do you guys have recommendations for good merch places and commissions, end of yap but i wanted to throw that in there

I gotta start posting on here again i forgot reddit existed 😞

I'm not crazy, right? Usually i don't see resemblance between things easily but my brain genuinely registers "do not the cat" as an image of my cat. Even with how well i have his face memorized, the details mostly match up except the pattern on the back being slightly different and that my cat has a weird eye. When his weird eye looks normal and his pupils are bigger, he looks a lot like it but you'll just have to trust me cuz he never opens his eyes for pictures.

That being said, please do not him.

I'm trying to TNR this feral cat and had everything all set until my plans to borrow a trap fell through (I don't blame the person, they thought they had one and didn't). Does anyone else possibly have one I can borrow for the week? I can come pick it up if needed and will return it once the cat is released. I've just been trying to arrange this for months and months with no luck and my parents took most of my money so I can't afford to rent one from HSNBA. But they've said it's okay to borrow one if I can, and that we can trap him this week. Somewhat urgent that I get it soon so i can get him used to going inside of it before actually trapping, and if I don't do it now it'll be another month at least until i can even ask around again. Please and thank you!
