Yo welcome this is a personal blog so you better don't expect things to be focused on something or anything. So I hope you are prepared for anything.

what are you even supposed to do when youre angry.  cant scream at anyone cos im not a dick. cant break anything cos i paid money for that. cant rip my hair out cos i need it on my head. literally what now

some options, because it’s way healthier to express your emotions than to shove them down and bottle them up - including anger:

  • go somewhere private to scream (cars are a good option)
  • punch a pillow
  • go somewhere outdoors and not busy and just throw whatever you find - rocks, branches, etc
  • go for a walk, run, workout, whatever suits you. exercise uses up a lot of the stress hormones involved in anger
  • talk it out with someone who’s happy to listen
  • if no-one’s available to listen, write down what’s on your mind
  • deep breaths, music, stims, whatever helps to calm you until you’re in a time and place where you can express yourself more freely
  • and last but definitely not least: say you’re angry! to whoever you’re angry at, even! consider what outcome you’d like from this conversation and if it’s attainable. you might need to process your anger in other ways first, so that you’re calm enough to work towards whatever goal you have

Emergency Commission

Hello, I'm sorry for posting like this. But right now I am opening an emergency commission with negotiable price.

tldr my sister was in emergency room and has been in hospital for 5 days as per this post. And it's unlikely for her to be discharged for at least one week or two. She also needs upcoming therapy and medications.

I will say this upfront: the lowest negotiable price I'm accepting for now is 100k IDR/$8 for sketch and 200k IDR/$20 for colored. This negotiation apply up to 3/4 and even full bodied characters.This base doesn't apply for commercial price but I'm still up for negotiating for lower than my usual standard.

As I'm posting this I'm only using my phone while I'm staying in a hotel near a hospital so I can't make a proper post with samples and all. But for samples you can check my account @/torosiken on twitter(media tab) and instagram.

I'm currently crossposting in all my social media accounts that allow text post so this current post is a copy and paste. I'm only able to begin touching my working equipment at late March the fastest if things goes right.

If you're interested to enter my queue or details or just want to offer mental support, please visit this server. Since it's easier for me to track one server instead of scattered chats and social media accounts right now.

I'm trying to be as transparent as I can right now and I promise I'll deliver and be upfront and honest will all of you.

Shares and spread of words are also very appreciated. Thank you so much!

What he says: im fine

What he means: in Toy Story 2 Woody is treated as the rarest of the toys from Woody’s Roundup when he’s the main character of the show. That would mean he would have had a higher production number than any of his costars, and in fact probably would have been made for the longest and earliest of the toy line. Stinky Pete, by being the fan unfavorite, must have had a smaller run, and less of his toys would have survived in the 50s as kids would have needlessly damaged or destroyed him making him the rarest of the group and Woody the most common. If anything, the plot of Toy Story 2 should have revolved around Al stealing Woody’s hat as it would have been the item most sought after by collectors as it’s easily lost and not attached to an otherwise common doll. Fundamentally, Al’s apartment should have been littered with Woody dolls in various states of damage, all missing hats and maybe a handful of decent condition Woody dolls needing a hat while Stinky Pete is the rarest and most expensive as a collectors item.

@everyone saying Woody was a limited run or some shit like….. y’all telling me the character that got onto the cover of time magazine and had all this fucking merch didn’t saturate the market with Woody dolls? In the 50s at the height of capitalism and the baby boom???

Your error is in assuming that Woody is rare because few Woody dolls were made. Not the case: Many Woody dolls were made- and because of their popularity they were sold and played-with until they were wrecked and - this being the 50s - thrown out. That plastic Woody you’ve got there will outlast most civilizations: but our Woody? With his cloth body and its aging 1950s fabric? By the 80s most of those would be a wreck: cloth-body stuffed toys have a very short shelf-life once they’re out in the world. Store a Woody in the attic for ten years and the mice get him, or the mold, or the simple weight of time loosens the bindings and makes his limbs unravel. And the voice box? With an in-tact, still functional draw strings? Do oyou know how often those things jam? Woody is unique because he seems to have belonged to a family that takes unusually good care of their toys, going so far as to fix them. Toy from the 50s are not in any way shape or form equivalent to modern full-plastic toys or even BEanie Babies, which were sold primarily with a view to the long-term collectors market. There is absolutely nothing weird or strange in a Woody doll surviving in such good quality to 1999 being notable: his popularity and high production rate has zero impact on the toy’s long-term survivability. (Indeed, that high production rate could have even introduced a lot more manufacturing defects into shipped Woody dolls, creating an overall decline in quality.) Just because it saturated the market is no indication of longevity. Yes, Al sure has a lot of Woody stuff - and most of that is very rare. For a good comparison point hop over to ebay and start looking for vintage, no-package Howdy Doody dolls from the 1950s - not the 70s re-releases with 70s materials but the 50s ones. Start judging the quality: the faded fabrics, the dirt, the smudges, the dinginess, and you’ll begin to see why Al freaked out so much: he didn’t just just find a Woody with a hat, he found a Woody who was clean - with no chipping on the hand-painted face, whose hand-stitched hat hadn’t lost its stitching, whose arm break could be repaired by a master who knew what they were doing. A hundred thousand Woodys might have been made in the 50s - but the number that survived to the present day, out-of-box, out of the hands of collectors, in good enough shape to be polished-up into museum-quality condition?I Al found the treasure of a lifetime.

[Fun fact: according to the wiki, Woody’s full name is Woody Pride.]
