Big Brain Time

I've decided to go on a quest for G1 Lagoona's fashion packs, starting with her Scream Uniform.

Problem is, it's old, so people are selling it for stupid prices. The most worthwhile way I was able to get my hands on this one was to buy it in parts...but another problem arises. No one is selling her bikini top by itself. That's the only part I was missing. (Well, and the earrings, but I plan to use it on Dead Tired Lagoona, who doesn't have earring holes anyway.)

Luckily, I was able to devise a solution using another part of my collection.

I have the Original Ghouls Collection Lagoona, which is essentially a lower-quality basic/first-wave Lagoona. She has the same scale pattern on her hoodie, anyway. I cut out a section from the back of OG's hoodie, shaped it to look like a bikini top, and stitched some ribbons to it for structure and support. For the finishing touch, I took a couple of Crayola markers and colored over the fabric/ribbons to make them match the artwork.

I'm pretty proud of the final product! Here's Skull Shores Lagoona modeling it. :)

Lovely. Truly, a work of art.

Hope you enjoyed this little Replica Intermission flashback as we head into the Holiday Special that happens a few years after this. To be honest, this was as much of a peek into the earlier years of the Liberty Colony as it was a character study. I really wanted to get a handle on how these boys were in their early-mid twenties before diving into the special because they become very different people by their thirties.

TED Talk below on the details of this scene...

I really grappled with the concept of how long it would take for the boys to figure out that the statue was the key. Most interpretations seem to assume they figure it out right away, but honestly, without CJ there to warn them in advance and tell them what it looks like they don't have a lot to go off of aside from Splinter's vague mention of a key. The fact that the Krang were praised by the Foot is enough to set off Donnie's alarms but... with the Foot already gone by the time the Krang make their grand appearance on Metro Tower, the connection can only be hypothesized.

Honestly, I think Donnie would still go to Raph first, a breach in conduct but given the sensitivity of the subject and fear of accusing Leo it seems on brand. Raph ultimately would make the choice not to tell Leo until they knew for certain... which they never did. So it was put off longer and longer until it finally came back to bite them all at the worst possible time. If the colony finds out what Leo did... it could be disastrous. At the same time, Leo's trust in his brothers has been shaken, though it still pales in comparison to the fresh, crushing blow in knowing that it was all his fault. ...Don't worry, he'll be feeling a bit better by the time of the Holiday Special.

Is this where you wanna eat?

Hey, do any of you remember Fijit Friends? These weird little things from Girl Tech and Mattel that released/blew up in 2011 and just...died two years later?

Because I do. Oh, boy, I do. My brain just decided to hyperfixate on them, and I made a full-blown personality quiz about them in the span of about 30 minutes.

Which Fijit Friend are you?

I am currently hyperfixting on a nostalgic toy from my childhood, and this is the result. Enjoy.

Save me.
