oh lookie what's that? woah so cool you should go check this out or somethin idk

[Blue | Dollmaker | Find me on Bluer Skies @BluePixieArt]

@TristoonCartoon Yes I'm still planning on it ^^ I've been a bit bombarded with other projects so it had to take a little bit of a backseat, but it's still absolutely on my to do list

LINE BOIL IN VRCHAT??

Finally got to put @ironmouse 's Chibi Decora model I made into VRChat, lineboil and all :3

I still have some clean-up to do, make the outlines a little more weighted, but the base model is done and I'm so happy with it :D

Yesterday, my mother & stepfather lost their farm home & everything in it in a devastating fire.

I have set up a GoFundMe to help support them as much as I can.

Even if you can't donate, please share this story!

Thank you💜https://t.co/m4GM965Kzh

Came up with it yesterday when I was helping my mother label her different plant feeds, she called our work meticulous and given our neuro-divergence, i came out with auticulous

According to a good ol internet search, it kept suggesting meticulous so afaik it doesnt exist 🤔

[Blue | Dollmaker | Find me on Bluer Skies @BluePixieArt]

Coining a new term: Auticulous

When you're meticulous and detail oriented.... But its the neuro-divergence

Au(tism) + (Me)ticulous = Auticulous

@yoclesh 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

no clue yet, but its my dream convention as its the only one that's accessible to me as an English girlie who cant travel far ;w;

Being stuck in England limits me so much for cons, so I'm really hoping I can go to vexpo to see everyone ;;

Hot Live2D take: It seems like most live2D riggers are not attempting in ANY way to optimize their models, ex. lowering warp deformer density, minimizing vertices on artmeshes, and it's really hurting your clients.

@yoclesh IT'LL HAPPEN IF ITS THE LAST THING I DOOOOO ❤️🥹

if you ever come to a convention in the UK, I'll do my best to see if I can drop by even just for a bit 🙏

[Blue | Dollmaker | Find me on Bluer Skies @BluePixieArt]

the new model art really making me wanna start on a Zen bjd 2.0............. 👀 I have neither the time nor the bank account to start another fun fanart project though x.x

why must vtubers all look so cool :') (not even mad about it but damn I wanna make so many of them)

[Zentreya⚡🐲⚔️ SVA @zentreya]

good morning. 👁️👁️

[Blue | Dollmaker | Find me on Bluer Skies @BluePixieArt]

watching @ironmouse going through dokomi, knowing my dear friend that I work with @DollsJewel is tabling..... hoping that they were able to see her booth....

i wonder if Elisa brought the ironmouse doll too......

@GamerSupps My all time favourite flavour that is currently 80% full and unusable because its rock solid on my shelf due to English humidity. I cant afford to replace it so shooting my shot

okay first and foremost, the whole running joke about british people is we love to complain about the weather. if you ask anyone in the uk we will complain when it’s raining, complain when it’s sunny and complain when it’s mild. we just complain, that’s our thing. secondly, you

The amount of times people have told me that my temps are nothing compared to theirs, i just wish they'd experience this for a bit. It's horrendous

So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long...

First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here.
The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry.

In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures.
Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it.

Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It.

UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth.
During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs.

Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US).
It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare.
Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings.

This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling.

Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation.
Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day.

Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat.

We're properly white!

So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation.
Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight.

You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc.
Drier US heat often cools significantly at night.
That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating.

Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...
