Feeling way too proud of myself for doing the responsible thing and getting some of my physics homework done early. I doodled this little thing at the bottom of the page as a reward.

Big Brain Time

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

Big Brain Time

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.

A stock photo of Original Ghouls Lagoona.  Even from a distance, you can tell that she's cheaper in quality--no paint on her shoes, less detail on her shorts and hoodie, and a flower barrette instead of a pin, among other things.

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. :)

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?

Hey, Do Any Of You Remember Fijit Friends? These Weird Little Things From Girl Tech And Mattel That Released/blew

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.

Y'know ⟟ didn't realize how impulsive ⟟ was until 1:30am tonight when ⟟ saw ⏃ bug in my room and decided my bedroom was not safe and to put everything that was on my bed on the floor and then throw my sheets just completely away into the trash and then take my mattress off my bed frame and into the living room up against ⏃ wall because ⟟ will not sleep on it now that there was ⏃ bug on it, so ⟟ definitely have something to bring up in therapy now but also I'm sleeping on the couch now, it's 4:30 and ⟟ hear birds outside

So I decided to give myself a sharpie tattoo tonight :) I’ve been vaguely imagining having a “God is Love” (1 John 4:8) tattoo for quite a long time, but I’m afraid of both needles and decisions and thus have not done so as yet. 

But I’ve been seeing these pictures of Gerard Way with sharpie tattoos and I was just like “there is no reason I should not give myself a sharpie tattoo right now” and so... I did. 

See beneath the cut for step by step pictures and general rambling :)

I put it in the spot where I would get a real tattoo if I ever get around to getting one; I have a big weird scar about halfway up the outside of my left calf and I figure if I were to get a proper tattoo, that’s kind of an ideal spot for a tattoo anyways and I might as well cover my scar with one. 

image

As with any good scar, there’s a long story to it, but (gross-out warning, mild medical violence warning) basically I had a spider bite that got infected and it swelled up into this big nasty boil-ish, welt-ish thing that lasted for an uncomfortably long time. When I went to the doctor with it, they pretty much just stabbed it twice to get it to drain and it left me with this. It’s hard to get it to show up very well but it’s basically two deep divots in a patch of pale, off-texture skin, a bit bigger around than a quarter. 

image

So I knelt on my bed with my leg at an awkward angle, whipped out my treasured 30 pack of rainbow sharpies (minus like 3, because sharpies like to run away), and went to work. It was kind of a weird angle to draw at not only because of how I had to bend my knee but also because everything I was drawing was sideways, but the heart turned out fairly nicely, if a bit lopsided. 

image

I didn’t make the heart quite big enough to fit “God is Love” inside of it so I wound up with the love bit underneath. I’m fairly pleased with how it looks, although you can definitely tell from the “e” that I was working sideways. 

image

I liked it well enough, but I wanted more color, and so I decided to add a butterfly wing to the left--or perhaps a flower. I have a tendency to draw those rather similarly so it’s basically both. One flower lead to another, then another, plus a couple of vines; I have progress pictures with each individual piece I added, but to prevent this post from going on for too long, I’ll just jump back to the final design. 

Also, side note, my knee was stiff as all heck after sitting like that for all the time I was drawing, and I had to limp around the house a bit to get my leg to straighten back out. In hindsight I would advise taking more breaks during the drawing process when sitting with one’s leg at such a weird angle.

image

The main picture at the top is from that stage as well, but then I went and googled “sharpie tattoo” because I remembered something about there being a way to make them last longer. I found this, which said to cover it in baby powder and spray it with hairspray. I don’t really use hair spray regularly, but I was pretty sure I had some around somewhere; the first stuff I found actually turned out to be a spray can of hair mousse, though, so I just patted it around on top of the baby powder. I didn’t quite get the whole thing covered because I was worried about smudging it if I rubbed it around. 

image

I was fairly certain I had some actual hairspray somewhere; eventually it occured to me to look in my old dance bag, because the last time I used hair spray was probably my 9th grade dance recital. I was correct, and upon locating said dance bag, I found both hairspray and an abundance of nostalgia. I reapplied baby powder and sprayed it on. Having not been used in nearly a decade, the hairspray came out in a confused trickle rather than a spray, and the whole area became very wet as I tried to pour out enough spray to cover the design in its entirety. The ink started to bleed and, while pretty, I was worried that rather than preserving my sharpie tattoo I was going to rinse it off prematurely in a flood of aged hairspray. 

image

I quickly dabbed at the flow with a bit of toilet paper, and in doing so accidentally made a rather lovely watercolor on the paper. 

image

So, this is where things are at now. The baby powder did leave quite a bit of texture on my leg. I imagine it will rinse off, but I think for tonight I’ll let things ‘set’ before I try and rinse it. Perhaps it would’ve been better if I’d left the initial design without putting any of this on it, but hopefully this will help it last longer. It’s just fun to have something bright, colorful, and meaningful on my leg. 

I’ve been really digging Killjoy aesthetics lately and I love the whole culture of being bright and colorful and unique that they have, and as I’ve been conceptualizing my Killjoy OC (cosplay to come, if I ever get around to it), I’ve found myself thinking about how I’d want to ideally design... well, myself, and so I guess this sharpie tattoo was really born from that. 

Along those same lines, I’ve also been revisiting the idea of dyeing my hair. It’s something I’ve contemplated since middle school but never done, but now I really think I would like to. Again I’m at least partly inspired by Gerard Way, both in the sense of the bold hair colors of the Killjoy universe and from seeing how many great hair styles and colors Gerard’s had over the years. I’m not fond of the idea of cutting my hair, but I like the thought of mixing it up by dyeing it. 

The wrench in my plans right now, though, is the way that everything is just on hold at the moment. Specifically, I’ve been in rehearsals for a play, but with this whole pandemic business, our rehearsals are suspended and our play is postponed for an unknown period of time. The play is the Crucible, and unfortunately, neon red violet hair would not fly in puritan Salem. My plan initially was to dye my hair as soon as the play was over in early April, but now, well... who knows how long it’ll be until the show happens and I’m in the clear to mess with my hair. So, stay tuned for that I guess. I don’t know if I’ll wait to do my Killjoy cosplay until I’m able to dye my hair; I would like to have both this sharpie tattoo and dyed hair at the time of said cosplay, but I’m not certain whether those time frames we’ll overlap. We’ll see. 

Anyways, if anyone’s still reading this, thanks for sticking with me through my rambling! I hope you have enjoyed this episode of Violet’s adventures in sharpie tattoos.

Tried to draw like Erik.

I was really, deeply torn on this.. I couldn’t decide whether his art would be crude, like how his handwriting is described or if it's something he's more familiar with..

Cause I feel like it could be either. Maybe it's both, or Julien teaches him, and he slowly picks up art. 👍

Tried To Draw Like Erik.

As always, this is extremely self-indulgent.(Can you tell I do NOT practice realism like I should? Julien uses a fake mustache, by the way.)

I hope you have a good day, whoever you are. ☺️
