Thank you @Atroxia !

I’m finally getting around to my second Rainbow Face plush post! I did a lot more documentation of my process for the second one, so I had a lot more photos to upload before I could make the post. Also, Google decided to make all the photos from my previous post disappear, so I had to upload those to Imgur, too! Argh!

Anyway…



This Rainbow Face is the more reserved one—and the one with more attitude. She’s strict about following rules, she has no patience for ignorance whatsoever, and she’s not afraid to give a retort to anyone who challenges these standards. At the same time, though, she seems to respect those who display intelligence, since she brings down her harshness when interacting with Littlefoot. But she’s still not letting him have any classified information! Yeah, as far as alien characters go, she’s very much the classic, secretive, “above you” archetype. She often has to scold the other Rainbow Face about saying too much, and he typically defers to her, suggesting that she’s the leader of the duo. She was my very favorite LBT character when I was a kid. I thought she was SO cool. Come on, her boldness was enough to startle Mr. Threehorn! What a boss!



The fact that she’s a lot more closed off than her colleague shows in her body language, because she uses less hand motions. This made it quite a bit harder to pick out a defining pose for her, unlike my first Rainbow Face, whose pose I settled on almost instantly. In the end, I noticed having her hands clasped together in front of her was a recurring pose, so I tried to replicate that in the way I positioned her hands. I stopped short of actually sewing them together, though. I don’t like to restrict the poses of my creations that much.







I also gave this Rainbow Face half-lidded eyes, as they’re rarely open all the way in the movie. She’s too sassy and snarky for that! Her eyelashes are made of some twine I just happened to have lying around in my craft supplies. I love when some random thing I have around ends up being unexpectedly perfect for a new project!

Here’s the WIP photos. Before I felted her final colors on, she looked quite a bit different!













Now…I will admit that my sizing of these characters relative to each other isn’t perfect. In the movie, the female Rainbow Face seems to be slightly shorter than the male. By accident, however, my female turned out slightly taller than my male. But the good news is that if I manipulate the wires in their legs the right way, the characters still appear to have accurate heights, even though they really don’t. Heh heh heh!



Guys, I LOVE them so much you don’t even know. They are so incredibly special to me, and it brings me joy every day to look at them!!!





Thank you for reading!!!

Aside from Bloons Monkey City that I've recently started playing a lot again, another game I've played quite a lot is a 2008 game released for the PC called Fishdom.

No-o-o-ot shocking, is it?

A match-3 type game, much better than the cash grab mobile version, (the one you've probably seen in those misleading, stupid mobile advertisements) which is unfortunately the most popular version out there.

yes, you had to insert the rod to make button activated again, then press it again after putting the end of the box in hatch opening.

Of course it is strong, powerful mechanisms are always stronger than human force or simple force of gravity.

Even in the bad end, this hatch door traps you, symbolizes how the puzzle defeated you.

Hmm...I guess the loud slam of the hatch door opening should've been an indication...but idk, throwing a large box down the chute also causes a large slam.

I guess point is...since none of us even thought at all about the trapdoor (aside from it leading to another room), it was out of mind the whole time despite being in sight, ironically enough.

Dang, we really tried everything except the solution that would set Mr. Stick free. And yeah, criticize Mo-o-o all yo-o-ou want about waving the blue keycard in front of everything, but at least the fishy was thinking outside the box, right... right?

Looks like we had to think inside the box after all.

Compromise
