Behold! The stupid-ass shoes I bought for the game awards! I bought them solely because I normally would never buy anything remotely like them. That and they were only $13.

Got vetoed by the family on the Thanksgiving pie this year. My traitorous lot decided on apple this year instead of sweet potato. Fine. Whatever.
Joke's on them, I'm making sweet potato ice cream to go with it.

You can customize your own personal cousin now using the bodies of other cousins & you can as usual adorn them with cute accessories. They even have their own unique poses & you can add many emotes.
So I wanted you to see my little Evangelion Ninja Cousin in a mawashi.

Success! Made it with 15 minutes to spare until the judging deadline closed.
Of course, instantly humbled by everyone else's amazing projects. The Macross theme category was absolutely stacked and I am forever envious of the clean work others pull off.
