Me seeing several companies fight over rights to AI generated characters because they were public domain as a result of their creation: "Oh no! How could this possibly have been avoided! 😱 If only there was a way to make characters that are copyrightable without AI 🤔"

I'm not to be trusted with computers

Still anti-genAI, down to the smallest inconsequential icon btw

Just downloaded Pokemon Go for the first time in a while. Y'all didn't tell me it was freaky like that

By the way, a *human model* finally is in the works. A friend has kindly donated a 3D scan that I can use for a reference for a version in my typical style. So if you're into less fantasy creatures and just want a safe quality toy, that's actively being worked on.

Cat tax for not being very active online

Update: sewing machine journey is going well

I ordered a bit titty mousepad and I got a standee of Jesus in the mail. If this isn't on purpose, it's really funny lmao

Maybe an opportunity to make toy storage bags? Not a promise but would that be an add-on people are interested in?

rt if u hate nazis and love boobs

I haven't been super active online since I started focusing on local events, but I just wanted to let y'all know general shop activity might slow down while I learn sewing. I am not beating the ADHD hobby allegations.

Maximalist swirls lmao

Doin some color tests 🍉

I love my local events. Also, this is the second time I think I've ever put text on a toy

I've always loved making parody labels since I was smol

Bring those dildos out for the xylophone, and it becomes a cockenspiel.

Pouring a 9" monster for a local prize table. Cecil Sunday ❤️

This little guy was just a test for a pour method but came out pretty cool on its own

Made a lil shelf for my smaller pigment bottles. I think finally I can move back into production now that a lot of counter space is free again

Ran outta shaft silicone oops, but my silly little end rod toy experiment is the first toy with the new shop setup

Today was certainly productive! I built the shelving on the back wall, and started engineering / printing a silicone bucket mod that'll allow me to pour cleanly from Smooth-On's buckets without a mess. And the buckets can still stack!

Pouring new toys is pausing for a few days, currently adding a back-wall shelf to the shop and creating a new silicone dispensing setup to include 00-30 and other hardnesses at the ready other than just medium.

Oh, for makers who don't know, these cups are available freely in noodlecrafters.com/pages/stuff-for-makers They are weird. They have to be printed in vase mode, and there's a specific file for each nozzle size. But they print REALLY fast and are really efficient.

My split pour cup design has this funny little quirk where if your printer is super accurate and consistent, the case mode cup will totally allow you to fan the chambers out. Totally unintentional? Yes. Probably useful? Hell yeah.

Part of the reason I opened these is because of the intimidation drops give me with the ADHD brain. I'll still do drops of course, but now if you like, really want a Funnybone or Reptilian Double and I haven't made them in a while, they're still available in some way.

Okay, big step for us: We're opening up guided-customs officially! We call it "Build-o". Check it out over at noodlecrafters.com! We're starting with 3 slots as we test the waters. We will be adding more to our Build-o section in the future as we gain more experience and find what works for us.

Made a silly little banner for my soon-to-be custom toy ordering page. They can rip my 8 color dithered animations from my cold, dead hands.

All current orders are out! I'm glad I upgraded my mailbox the second I moved into a place I own, it's so much easier to get out individual orders.

Just a heads up, I'm going to be dropping some gummy toys and some pink /gold shimmery ones later today. Short notice but ADHD has been delaying the drop too long

I never know what to think about that one prolific novelist that always trying to scam someone. I mean, he has his prose and cons.

Finished one of my two custom arch lights! And I only burnt myself with the soldering iron three times

Well damn. This box used to be full past the top. All I did was swap out the holo bags with the heat sealable ones. That's a lotta saved space!

This is now my favorite dildo ad I'm getting Thank Goodness You're Here! vibes

I can't believe 9" Cecil is real

I only just realized it's not "hentaivirus" and my brain has been seeing what it wanted to see

ADHD brain would rather create a new toy concept every two days than actually let me sit down and photograph/ sell the toys I've already made 💀 Y'all bear with me

Do you think this is what a robot's buttplug would look like?
