Alright! The Kig-Yar crew finally met up and posed for a picture. Seems like they picked our Christmas „wreath“ as the meeting location. Not that I mind, of course. I guess they’ll have dinner next… one of them mentioned a „stew“? Not sure if I wanna know what its ingredients are x)
Photograph showing four members of a species called Kig-Yar from the Halo Video Game Series. They are sitting and standing in front of a Christmas wreath, showing off their weapons. Leftmost and rightmost are a „Jackal“ (aka. Ruuhtian) sniper. In the left and right middle are two „Skirmishers“ (aka. T’vaoan) the left one holding a sniper rifle.

This Ruuhtian / Jackal sniper has been screeching at me the whole time, I wonder if they want me to let them out?
More Kig-Yar for my collection! I just love these guys plus they’re a welcome change to raptor figures x)
Photo of a Halo Video Game series figure called a “jackal” or “Ruuhtian Kig-Yar”. It stands in its still sealed box together with a sniper rifle. The box reads “Jackal Sniper” and below it “Halo” along with a choking hazard warning.

Took me a load of time and a bit of Substance and Unity but it’s slowly getting there :3
Screenshot of a raptor avatar für Social VR games like VRChat. It’s standing in a t-pose indicating that the screenshot was taken in an avatar creation editor (Unity in this case).

I stopped using my VR system in March 2023, until now I didn't consider setting it up again, even my playspace got re-purposed.
Now that I got everything up and running again I can only say: Boy, I really forgot how much fun this is! Here's me as a Rexouium.
Photo from out of VRChat showing an Rexouium sitting in from of a mirror. The character is waving at the camera with their left hand. In the background are the control panel for the VRChat world the picture was taken in.

I've been saying I'd set up my VR system for months but never actually got to it. Until now. I kinda forgot how relaxing it can be to go to virtual apartments or try out guns in H3VR.

What's next? Well... probably getting more social, visiting places on my own is kinda meh xD

Just had to reconfigure the local DNS, seems like Cloudflare is having issues?

Met a cool fellow rappy on bark!, started to use Telegram a lot more and found some groups to chat in.

I’d say this week went rather well in terms of stopping to be so introverted xD

Ever since I started playing those Halo games again strange things have started to happen.

For example: This Ruuhtian Kig-Yar (aka. Jackal) sniper just showed up and started stealing my Xmas trees. D:
Picture of a scene featuring a Ruuhtian Kig-Yar from the game series Halo in form of a miniature action figure. They are carrying a sniper rifle in their left hand and are holding a Christmas tree in the right one, dragging it behind them. There are Christmas decorations in the background such as a red tablecloth below the figure and a wreath in the background.

In may I ordered @littlesofts.bsky.social Litha the Coyote Pup - and guess who arrived today :D

She will be joining Marshmallow and Sugarplum in my small Little Softs collection.
Oh and don’t let the background fool you, I’m totally not a hoarder of cute and fluffy things. Really! I swear! xD
Photo showing three plush animals from Little Softs sitting on a table. The table is covered with a Jurassic Park towel. On it sits Marshmallow the dragon on the left, Litha the Coyote Pup in the middle and Sugarplum the Raptor on the right. A shelf is in the background displaying more of the collector’s gathered items including other plushies.

Clear skies, freezing temperatures and a bit of snow?

Good morning, winter! It’s good to see you again! (:
Photo taken from out of a roof window, looking at the snow covered shingles into the adjacent neighborhood. The sky is almost clear, nearby trees do not have any leaves on them. A majority of the surfaces in the neighborhood are covered in a thin layer of frozen snow, about as thick as a finger.

Heh, half an hour ago I heard it rain outside, then it got quiet. Now everything’s covered in snow, that’s kinda… cool ;)

It kinda felt like the T’vaoan Skirmisher I recently got was pretty lonely so I got them a buddy which will arrive soon-ish.

Looks like I’m building a small Kig-Yar army now xD

Did I ever mention I really really like the T’vaoans from Halo? Just got a package and am quite the happy rappy now! =D
The picture features an action figure from the the video game Halo: Reach, it’s a so called skirmisher (also called Kig-Yar or T’vaoan) with their armor. The figure is standing in a threatening pose with its maw open while holding two shields on each of their arms.

I keep coming back to this, looking at it over and over again. It does something to me, stirs up emotions, motivates my head to try and interpret its deep meaning while I look at its details.

This hasn’t happened to me while looking at art for quite some time. I’m really intrigued!

No matter how sad I feel, Mabisyo’s “The Fire That Never Stops Burning” always warms me up, even if it’s just a bit (:

Kinda feel like just curling up in a ball right now. I guess today simply wasn't my day - I'll try to make tomorrow a better one.

Remember Sugar Plum the Raptor? I found another really cute plushie which came via mail today: Marshmallow the Dragon! I totally love him, he’s even got his own outfit :3

Thank you very much @littlesofts.bsky.social =D
Picture of LittleSoft’s Marshmallow plushie the Dragon sitting in front of the camera and looking at the viewer. Most of his body is grey and long and reminds a bit of an Asian dragon, especially because of his antlers. His ears bear the asexual pride flag inside. He represents the ace family. In the background behind him are mostly grey tiles. He himself is sitting on a dark grey woven mat.

They say every furry should have one in order to call themselves “furry”.

I didn’t. Until now.

Does that mean I’m a genuine furry now? D: xD

Featuring the famous Blåhaj and their turbospot (cheetah) companion from IKEA (:
Picture of IKEA’s well known shark plushie, the Blåhaj. It’s laying on a wooden table, the warm colored light source being on the right. There’s a curtain in the back as well and a small part of a cheetah plushie is visible. IKEA’s Blåhaj shark plushie, together with the new Sandlöpare cheetah they are selling right now. The cheetah is sitting on top of the shark, hugging it with both front paws. The shark is on a wooden table, there’s a basket of oranges on the right. In the background a window can be vaguely seen, concealed by a curtain.

When the sun rises like this you know it’s gonna be a pretty nice late summer day (:
On the left the sun is seen rising in between two trees on the left. Because the camera is looking at it various optical artifacts are present in the picture. There are almost no clouds in the blue sky above. In the middle and the right are more trees which appear darker. A bush on the lower right is hardly visible because of the shadow that is cast by the trees in the background. The picture features the leaves of a bush which is hit by the rays of the morning sun in late summer. The one the middle is partially lit directly on its upper side by the sun. The rest (underside) appears to glow green as the sun shines through the leaf. Its veins are this highlighted and glow. The blurry background shows more plants in the vicinity. One leaf in the foreground has a few drops of water on it.

I’ve never been able to hug a dino before - until now. This is Kibou which is Japanese for “Hope”. Dunno how many hours I spent working on her but for doing this the very first time the result is pretty cool :3

The pattern I’ve used is the Hard Pyroraptor by Vertebress: patreon.com/Vertebress
Photo of a large raptor dinosaur plushie, sitting in a wooden chair, both wings resting on a wooden table in front of it. It has a dark brown snout made of short fur, the rest of the head being a cream color. The body is made of longer faux fur of sand color. Both wings are made of feather like faux fur and minky fabric. The whole scene was photographed in front of a window. Same raptor dinosaur plushie as in the previous scene, however photographed from the opposite side. Instead of a brown eye the plushie has a notable blue one on the right. The rest of the features of the plushie are like on the other side.

Sewing shut them big pawbs…
Picture of a large three digit paw made out of short shag plush. Its stitches have been reopened to allow for some small corrections which can’t be done from the outside. Polyfill is bulging out of the opening with a sewing needle stuck in it.

Sitting here in the middle of the night again, sewing a plushie while listening to Seasoning the Sample V.3 by Mabisyo. Current song: The Fire That Never Stops Burning.

Gosh, I feel soooo relaxed right now!
