Their bodies are primarily pom-pom balls, most limbs are pipecleaners or a specific type of pipecleaner called a "chenille bump" or "bumps", and their eyes are either vintage googly eyes I found at a flea market (but are easy to find online!) or black plastic fork prongs :3 a detail here or there is a small piece of fleece!

put together using low-temp small hot glue gun! Anyone could have fun this way I think w one can trim pom-pom balls into a desired shape, provided you don't cut too close to the center and unravel the entire ball.
One can also intentionally unravel a ball to utilize just the fluff on any random area it is desired!

I've hesitated to answer just 'cuz it's sooo broad, what can be said, but I meant to come back and at least try a little overview~~

This chapter... scrumptious... the church chapters were so Susie-focused, there were honestly a lot of moments I was rather disengaged or a bit bored >>;; though of course I liked what we saw of Ralsei, the overall environment, music, enemy designs were stimulating enough to fill in the gap of my attentions. I am uniquely immune to "funny old man shares wisdom to young girl" due to my tastes... but then Jack would show up and I'd go YAAAY JAAAACK!!! and then Ralsei would sob.

Ch. 5 felt soooo opposite in many ways!! I LOVED what Flowery exposed in Ralsei, all the provoking and poking of his insecurities, guarded reality, WOO!!! I got what I wanted most of all as well: Ralsei Intuitively Knowing he needs to hide from Asgore, because Asgore will freak out if he sees Asriel wandering around. Noelle had the cloak of this being a "dream", but Asgore didn't! Asgore had preestablished knowledge of this world, and an awareness that what he was seeing was 'real' and consequential. I love that he had a level of perception high enough to look at Ralsei and feel unable to distinguish him as a Lightner or a Darkner... heehoo!!!

I guess overall the music & rando enemies were less interesting to me ? BUT the Netskie kind of made up for this... I also, like that, their names are anagrams of Kitsune... lol. anagrams eh...

I really liked Aqua & Seth, a fun and cute duo (: of course they reminded me of perhaps a younger Kris + Asriel playing around... but they also reminded me that Toby likes Ran from Touhou, and made me wonder if her dynamic with Chen is alluring... something I've wondered idly in the past! Well, it's a bit sexy to think about, isn't it? I like when a servile girl has an underling, who she commands, but whomst is a useless rat. Nobody is a real 'master' in this dynamic, everyone's kind of under a thumb and helpless... oneeloli is so rare and special! It makes me imagine, in some world, can Kris and Asriel fantasize such a thing? [stares wistfully over the misty sky] so beautiful...

One of my favorite moments... was when Aqua is asked who she likes better, between the Fuck Gang or Seth, and Seth freaaaaaks out and won't let Aqua answer that question, too scared of the answer <3 and then... later... Ralsei does the exact same thing when Kris is asked that question ... <3 I love that he couldn't handle any confirmation or rejection... so immature, so pathetic!! You're this submissive, but you can't handle rejection?! HAH!!! [pointing and laughing at Ralsei] What Kris wants is so important to you, unless it disincludes you, huh? It's almost like you're not completely selfless and servile... hehe...! There are just some things you couldn't go on living after knowing, huh? You can't pretend to be selfless forever, I know you have WANTS!!!!!

Another fav moment, RALSEI WEARS MAKEUP CONFIRMED?????? Why would this be confirmed... jaw on the floor... also, the onsen scene starting, I felt like I was witnessing a pornographic film unfold suddenly. Terrifying. Well, I look forward to what the eastern fandom may draw regarding, this. But seriously... the pink around Ralsei's eyes confirmed to merely be makeup that washes off, WTF!!! HOW DO YOU HAVE MAKEUP!!! THAT DOESN'T WORK WITH YOUR BULLSHIT 'NARRATIVE' OF BEING A DESOLATE NOBODY WITH NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but it works with MY narrative of Ralsei somehow painting color on himself to disguise his portrait as a darkner. I'll bet dollars to donuts his horns are painted pink with polish =.= "vanilla nerd, strawberry nerd" as Susie says... I know you secretly have white horns like mommy and daddy...

Really really scared by the Love Dojo starting to talk about foursomes guys.... and even numbers being balanced.... really scared guys. Why would it say that. Dream Holiday is rumbling just over the mountain... [running in high heels on rocky terrain in the opposite direction]

I hope Ralsei in the end ripped Flowery's roots up, lol.... this golden flower... my long-standing enemy... Kris's favorite flower.... die die die die die die!!! I'M KRIS'S FAVORITE.. RHgklsdfgjf;!!

omg but I admit, completely checked out for Blue/Yellow... ugely... bring back the oneeloli...

there is SO much omg I'll forget everything ever.

But of course Weird Route ruled!!!!!!!!!!!!! EPIC... I KNEW NOELLE WOULD NOT STAY A 'VICTIM' FOR LONG AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was awesome!! I felt gobsmacked by the contrast between Susie holding Noelle above the water and wading shallowly, while Noelle and Kris fully submerged...? This felt parallel to Susie & Kris dipping their feet in the onsen, while Kris & Ralsei submerge fully....? But it's one of those things that is so intentional, yet opaque to me. It feels sort of like a dream. This concept of "shallowness"... I guess in a way, it felt surprisingly unbrazenly cruel to cast this contrast upon Susie/Noelle? I suppose my soft reservation about Susie/Noelle, has been that it may be too precious, or beyond meaningful deconstruction.... but I felt like the Weird Route kind of took it apart at the seams, for me... made it feel, so surface-level, like a compromise with 'reality' for Noelle...

I'm not against it or anything like that, merely personally not piqued by it. I don't seek to disprove or unspool it at all, but I also didn't foresee canon handing me so much fodder to do so. I guess it was validating for me?! I hold the belief that Susie just.... doesn't possess the depth or intensity to truly satisfy and excite Noelle, a true Masochist. At the end of the day, Susie has never wanted to hurt anybody. She's just a lonely, defensive little girl who accepted being painted as something mean & scary, by her surroundings. But if she's not a Sadist, how is she supposed to satisfy a Masochist's needs? Is it enough to joke about a severed hand and carry a girl above water?

Seeing Noelle genuinely manic... enthralled, wild with desire, desperate to escape herself, I was so relieved Kris could do this for her. It's like seeing an animal get the stimulation it needs... not a block of ice filled with fish to lick, but a leaping body to throw down and bite.

But in a way I worry it's almost cruel or unfair to feel that sort of thing ?! but I can't complain either...

Quite SHOCKING reveal that Noelle, growing up, felt that Kris may have merely been "going along with what she wanted" for various interactions, suchas voting eachother as King and Queen ? and she relates this suspicion to something that happened between others, who remain unnamed .... ? implies Noelle spectated a situation where someone lead someone else on, merely because it was what the other person wanted. I would have to assume this relates to either parents, or siblings... but well, we know Asriel had various, conflicting unsent love letters to Catty and Dess, as well as being made to kiss Bratty. So I suspect Asriel, may have been such a people-pleaser, such a pushover, that he struggled to reject anyone, or explicitly state his own interests. I wonder if Noelle was perceptive to this, or even witnessed a particular conflict. I've always wondered why, exactly, she is so pessimistic... while I know Kris is obtuse and cryptic, and that contributes a lot, perhaps spectating some sort of humiliating event occur to someone close to her, could explain even more... could make her paranoid, "what if that happened to me....?"... she's a paranoid girl in general, eh...

Huge fucking reveal also that SUSIE THOUGHT KRIS AND NOELLE WERE DATING??????????? explosions.................................. this, as part of the explanation for her behavior towards Kris early on, holy fuck!! Funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! THE LESBIAN INCEL [points] many such cases!!! It makes me think though, man, Kris must have looked like an asshole partner LOL... being all quiet and often expressionless while a girl hands you pencils and helps you with homework. Susie trying to make heads or tails of this.... it also adds a lottttt to her previous reaction to her seeing the ferris wheel photo of Kris & Noelle on Dess's wall. Susie being faced with "what are they, to each other...?" is so funny. Honestly Susie, they don't know any better than you do, I think.... everyone here is so helpless......

and uhm lastly. Ralsei really was such a sminch this chapter, not just being mean to others, but even being a bit smug about Kris liking them in some dialogues...? Hellooooooo....
Big fan of Ralsei impulsively revealing he has fire magic (: hmmmmmmmm... who else has fire magic I wonder.... wasn't there some sort of family of monsters, in UNDERTALE...? Oohh but DELTARUNE isn't UNDERTALE, so it must mean nothing.... ^^

Ralsei trying to yellll at Flowery for pretending to be something he's not, and giving himself 999 whatever power.... and Flowery simply pointing out the hypocrisy... thats right BITCH!!!!!!!!! Omega Idiot.

Princess Ralsei... [suddenly throws my body against the wall over and over] why would this happen... oh, I'll be YOUR princess, Kris.... my life has been endangered. Why would this happen... a doujinshi has taken over the game file. I don't know how this has happened... where do we go from here. [unsticking my bloody body from the wall]

Sometimes I wish I could live the peaceful life of people who think "the game wouldn't Go There". It must be so tranquil, stable, secure. In the same chapter we can have Ralsei obliquely dodging Asgore (because he would. recognize him.) and crossdressing to appeal to Kris.

Oh yeah... the Mew Mew stuff. Feels as blatant as the Gerson Ghost stuff, with regards to foreshadowing. I greatly enjoyed Ralsei being uncharacteristically kind & helpful, spectating such a situation of a soul & body fighting conflicting desires. To say it plainly, I think it reminded Ralsei of Kris. It's important to not hate any part of yourself... or you will suffer your connection to yourself. Ralsei has taken discrete care, to compliment both BODY & SOUL of Kris.... in particular, when both sides play piano (with distinct contrast in their abilities). I don't think Ralsei wants either to be neglected, rejected, or hated... both make up Kris.

OK... methinks that is enough for now.... I can try to extrapolate on specific things on request though >> it was so much game to consider, huh.... I've forgotten probably 1 million things...

Thats funny. I think we aren't so familiar with these characters and their still-establishing canon to make calls like "OOC"-- we are still in the process of learning how any of them respond to situations.

They are equivalent to someone you've only known for a few days, in a small set of circumstances, through a tiny window-- with the only additional perspective added being what we know of UNDERTALE (which will be discarded by people who do not feel Ralsei is Asriel, thus he's as unknown as Susie).

In most of the circumstances we've seen, Ralsei has had a lot of control and oversight. We haven't truly seen him agitated or provoked ... he's mostly been ignored, or only briefly regarded by King, Queen, and Tenna. Nobody has ever antagonized him meaningfully, beyond the childish and uninformed ways Susie and Lancer might... nothing that gets under his skin. Nonsense, shenanigans, only.

For whatever reason, Flowery is the first character to be VERY familiar with Ralsei, and not at all shy to flaunt that intimate knowledge. Ralsei's facade is laid bare by Flowery, who knows him to be a liar. Flowery challenges Ralsei's control over how others perceive him, and how he presents his narrative to others, and even the control over explaining mechanics and lore. For whatever reason, this control is incredibly important to Ralsei. But then, isn't it to most liars? That is why they lie.

This is kind of embarrassing maybe to say, but my favorite quote is from the webcomic 10%+, "you never truly know someone until you've seen them angry." I think about it often, in both real-life conflicts and fictional ones. I've known a lot of people who were one way typically, and completely shockingly different once they were truly angry at someone or something. It can be a jarring experience. You can know someone for years and years in an amicable light, maybe see them a bit annoyed ... and be completely blindsided by their anger when it finally shows. This kind of insight can destroy trust or friendships quickly. It can completely change your opinion on someone! Whether it is pointed at you, or someone else.

I think there were hints all along that Ralsei has a guarded edge, and a judgemental, snippy side! He's BEEN exhausted, bored, annoyed by interactions before! I think people see him as completely submissive and gracious, because that is how he acts towards Kris, and Susie's (childish, insecure) disrespect means so little to him. His regular "okay." when something happens has always been catty to me......! Very, "whatever". To name just one thing, the Spamton situation is a clear one where he is rather detached and judgemental of the darkner at hand (I recall a lot of people at the time feeling suddenly mistrustful of him after this scene). He's not always charitable, compassionate, or empathetic ... which I would say is rather on blast when you do things like Attack Everyone NOW as Kris. He values Kris above the comfort or safety of any 'darkner'. He will try to correct Susie from being harmful, but of course Kris can make of these worlds what they will. These darkners are not nearly as much 'people' to Ralsei as they are to Susie.

These worlds aren't important or valuable to him. The people inside of them are an experience to share, not individuals.

I'm me so I'll also have to talk about the Asriel contingency, as nobody else on the planet will: of COURSE Asriel fucking hates Flowery! Chara's favorite flower was the golden flowers! They drew a picture of them, which Asriel hung near the bed. In DELTARUNE, the same image of a golden flower is above Asriel's bed... this fondness for the flowers must be both cute and maddening!

I think if Kris has a favorite ANYTHING, Asriel/Ralsei will be jealous and feel insecure, LOL. Kris loved to 'talk to' the flowers... I wonder if Asriel was jealous of the words granted in secret to the flowers, what they knew of Kris that he didn't! Of course the flowers are more annoying and threatening to him than some stupid dice and playing cards! One must be gentle, delicate with flowers, care for them. Imagine how helpless an obsessive person could feel! The pretty, nice-smelling flowers...!!! It's so simple to be a pretty flower and have Kris find you beautiful!!! You don't have to constantly try!!!! MARIGOLD THE GIANT RAT!!!

Even people into UNDERTALE alone struggle to accept Flowey as insight into Asriel's heart. That Asriel has this jealousy, insecurity, desperation, cruelty, inside of him... of course, I see it as an essential aspect of the incredible love Asriel had for Chara. "to confine desire to what holds sweetness; how small desire would be". (:

As for Susie, she's had such a linear and visible journey of being domesticated, I've no idea what would seem 'OOC' about any of her actions... she's had so many of these misadventures now, she knows to not demonize or react impulsively to any darkners, after so many have become her friends, and share an innocent goal of wishing to exist in this dream. If she stayed helplessly 'consistent' she'd be like.... a character in a cartoon that isn't allowed to emotionally evolve due to the non-continuity of the given canon, like a Squidward or a Land Before Time child. Squidward will always be sour, Petrie will always be fearful. Susie is meant to progress through a narrative that is actively changing her. She will come out the other end different.

Besides, we see her defensive side rear back up when something triggers her. Noelle & Kris riding the ferris wheel in Weird Route (and Noelle closing in on Kris) causes her to launch a dirt clod at their cart.

While Ralsei has shown us peeks into a distant, unempathetic side lying beneath his sickeningly sweet facade, I feel Susie has always done the complete opposite. She externally expressed a cruel, judgemental side as a defense mechanism around her much softer, lonely interior.

I believe all characters in DELTARUNE express this duality in one way or another, as a core tenet that will serve the theme of the story overall. You don't know who Ralsei, Susie, Noelle, or Kris, and likely Dess, are at a glance (in a way, wasn't that also half of the point of UNDERTALE?). Their responses to situations may surprise you. What they are capable of remains to be seen!

unfortunately seeing myself in second person view would absolutely destroy me, I think it's my worst nightmare. I struggle to look at pictures of myself, as it is. I also think the raw body experience would give me a considerable amount of dysphoria, and I'm not sure I'd enjoy moving... my husband is a godlike beauty to me, but inhabiting that body for myself as if it were my own, is not something I fantasize about or think I could enjoy. What I like and what I am, contrast highly.

He might be able to enjoy inhabiting my body and moving around, but he'd have to be concerned with me, so it couldn't be a party in any sense, eh...................

the most useful thing I could imagine doing is taking physical stock of his body from a sort of medical standpoint, and assess any symptoms he may be desensitized to or think of as 'normal'! Perhaps assessing things as a sort of mad scientist perspective would help me to not freak out, and just see this swap as a temporarily useful perspective for caring for my husband's conditions.

I'm sorry.... I think it looks really really really really ugly.... and I always have.... I can't look at it, looks like dog shit to me... I can't imagine wanting to make Anything in it ever... the overall influence 'voxels' have had on the aesthetics of games, and 'sandboxes' and then 'crafting' as an element of games, over the years, often times I wish I could disappear minecraft from the timeline of the world in order to see where we would be without its influence shrouded over us. I do not like to mine craft.

a certain generation of kids/adults obviously love it and I'm sortof fascinated by the cross section of minecraft/lego/roblox cubic entity pornography from a sociological perspective (how will this influence fetish formation going forward? what terminology might emerge?). I see a lot of it and it's unique from anything I'm familiar with growing up. Even the ability to aesthetically Parse something like roblox porn is beyond me, it is abstract. This look becoming a fetish category is hmm... interesting. Though a detriment to my actual aesthetic sensibilities. I will observe it from my wire.

In general I hope I live to see the impressions of it leave the forefront of game designer's minds... if anything could displace it...

all of this said a random thing I do ? tangentially enjoy is youtube channels that like make tiny clay minecraft biomes with tiny minecraft animals ? because at that scale a tiny 5 pixel macaw in a tiny forest feels fine, and the texture of real clay is much more pleasant than the digital textures.

I think Tenna is the sort of being who MUST be tortured and tormented, and I think he secretly feeds his employees profound and profane meals, as the known accusations go. This doesn't mean I don't like him. Its his job to fail, and be pathetic, and never win, and it is my job to tie him to a tree branch and throw rocks at him. I describe him as a kind of Elmer Fudd, a Wile E Coyote. He's here to fail and only fail. It's so wrong if he succeeds. I like this about him. Is this moe? Maybe the world needs people like me, to make people like Tenna appear more moe. The urge to save him from my grasp. As long as I exist, he shall be imperiled

I think a common mistake when one envisions Tenna is to envision a man. But I think he's more of an abomination. His proportions are really funny. Closer to Marvin the Martian than a bishounen. You know? And it produces the urge to simply obliterate him, to see him Psheww. Pew pew. Into a little pile of dust. DIE DIE DIE

I could draw him again! Who knows! He's a great conduit for exploring Kris's comically deep well of self-hate. As with all the Darkners I don't see them as individuals per se, but OCs of the kids, and therefor, a kind of accidental projection of their psyche. Inherently interesting then. As Kris puts it. "He sucks." It's great that he sucks. Musssst overload the voltage and make him fry must put peanut butter in his buttans

I actually watched it months back, when it was first teased ?! for some reason there was a trailer released back in December on Amazon MGM! At that time I marveled at the many sheep models and that this was based on a BOOK? called GLENNKILL?? Out of nowhere ... its nice seeing something fully new and not a rehash of something we already know...

I'll watch whatever CGI animal slop that comes out though LOL. I watched that godawful Peter Rabbit movie!!! Good or OK or mediocre or not my genre, EH, I will see animals!! I will for sure be watching it to look at sheepies! I'll be excited for any novel pose or expression! Detective stuff is on the bottom rung of things I can remotely care about but I will Look at sheepsies. If the dialogue winds up intolerable I just watch things on mute!

where Warrior Cats is concerned, I find book packaging typically creatively bankrupt, let alone a HarperCollins deal with like 7 ghostwriters writing under a psuedonym ... it's not anybody's baby, passion, or pride, it's essentially just a franchise ordered by a publishing company to sell to a niche, to make money, and whenever these sorts of things are wildly successful, I feel kind of bleak. If it was some individual cat lover's passion project and pet world they'd developed, I'd feel more indifferent, but the reality of it is pretty grim to me. I think it shows in the inconsistency of even cat's markings or basic details being lost between books; it's obviously being juggled between ghost writers who don't care. A work created this sort of way kind of can't have coherency, meaning, themes, direction...

As far as I understood the first author didn't even like cats ? and no part of the worldbuilding or world to me, seems to come from someone who loves cats or perhaps even animals ... by comparison, say, Watership Down or even Ga'hoole are more endearingly infodumping you real animal facts, or trying to base their culture and lives on their ecology ... (though I didn't read ga'hoole growing up, I did like Watership Down)

I don't really talk about this because I imagine it would just make 100,000 people angery and feel judged or defensive. And maybe like snip at me for liking, Pokemon, or some other franchise with a very soulless creative team... hypocrite.... . But you know, I don't look down on people who love Warrior Cats, especially people with childhood nostalgia for it, I mean book packaging is successful for a reason ... companies know what kids or tweens or teens want ... arbitrarily, I find Warrior Cats a drag.

As a child it was of course simpler, I just didn't (and don't) like this 'style' of worldbuilding for ferals ?? it feels ahnnn boring and pointless to meee ... whenever there's some sort of, set of rules and religion and a belief system that is Real and True within the series lol, The Warrior Code, starclannnmmm mm clanssssz its offputting. It feels too adjacent to christianity to me at times so, it's not an escapist fantasy ................ I don't want to be subjected to any of this nonsense -.- as a cat... how tedious....

Moreover it's like, if it's not interesting with HUMANS, it's not actually going to suddenly become interesting with ANIMALS. I don't care for some sort of psuedo-tribal spiritualism clan war bullshit glkfjdg;ldlkdjgs;glskg;dgkdsl;g;f I don't care if it's a Medicine Cat ... it's boring ... series of Rules and Roles ...

Redwall is about the same in its own way, I do not care for this, style, of world and universe, either, it doesn't make it better that it is, mice and whatall... there are a lot of series about like tiny knight mice and kings and whatever, I sleep ........... I sleep ..... not a genre of intrigue... things like Warrior Cats or Redwall, I felt like, yeah this is a Genre that Exists and that I am Dodging as a child into ferals, I'm like.. "ughhh but not like this".

these days I just get like sad when I see a cute cat OC and am like KITTY!!! and then its like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they're always warrior cats lol, I wish I saw more cat OCs in people's own worlds..... can't cats have sex without being apprentices and warriors...

Flickr.com is a photography website I regularly use for nature and animal photography.

It helps to first try to find specific names of ecosystems, parks, in a general wiki search before going into a deep dive! For instance I may search for ONSEN-> then browse specific ONSEN located in mountain regions-> discover 'Towa-Hachimantai National Park' & be able to seek photos of that specific park.

I may search for 'peat bog'-> discover 'Shropshire Wildlife Trust'-> find a whole list of specific reserves under that trust's umbrella I can browse for reference of specific environments!

inaturalist is also valuable for unique new photos of unusual, rare animals.

I like searching animal names in Japanese on twitter, as a lot of photographers and zoos tag their photography on twitter via hashtags! Then you can browse their RTs, or who they follow.

for information on size/weight I utilize a combination of dimensions.com & animalia.bio

and of course youtube is an IMMENSE resource; many zoos, sanctuary, aviary, post endless resources or longform content on whatever animal your looking for. Stable Horse Training is for instance my favorite for horse body language and herd dynamics! Kingsdown Ferrets has loads of beautiful wonderful Ferret footage! Creek Valley Critters has delightful mouse footage!
