the way this lil message vaguely praises trump makes me kinda uncomfy but um. rip tiktok
furby biology information that im throwing together in a half asleep rambling lmao the original era - 1998, 1999 baby and shelby, these ones take the journey from furbyland to the surface. and return to furbyland as fully mature adults, for the next generation. they typically eat nuts and other hard foods that require a study beak! Emototronic era - 2005, baby. and funky furby, they too take the journey from furbyland. but they live deeper in the island. and evolve to live in tree hollows + forested areas. they overlap with the original era furby in habitat, but NOT the shelby - their diet typically tends to be soft fruits! and use their legs to climb trees and swing from vines the 2012, boom era - do not come from furbyland. nor do they return. they are suited for a diet of whatever they can get, they cant be picky when many of them are born as strays in the city and have a whole slew of competitors. , and elders of this generation tend to be mainly strays that got abandoned by their human companion and would then form clans in hidden aways corners of cities and towns they got abandoned in, this was the first generation of discovered furby eggs afterall, they began laying them on the surface and are disconnected from their homeland, but still remember the furbish language the connects are similar to the 2012 and booms.
the furby 2023 are domestic. and have health issues, mainly their beaks. young furbys go to their homes not knowing much. they dont even recognise a furblet as a baby furby, nobody taught them that. because they get seperated from their parents at a young age, they know furbish. but they're so disconnected from the rest of the furbys bc of it.
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener

Thisssssss is really embarrassing to post publicly but i feel silly today twirls hair. Here's my cec self insert who i ship with Pasqually ☝️☝️ she's a ferret and she steals his hat for the funsies anyways explodes
Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
Support real artists ☀️
Thank you so much! I’ve been painting my furby Tumbleweed and this post is super helpful!
tips for furby customisation for anyone new to it:
i cannot stress enough the importance of paint primer and a sealant.
y'see, because the plastic is so incredibly smooth, there's nothing for the paint to grip to and it just wants to slide off and chip away
with primer it gives the paint something to hold on to and sealant does what it's named after, it seals the paint in with a protective layer to prevent chipping!
it can also give either a matte or shiny finish depending on which sealant you use and which you want to use
my reccomended primers are:
professional primers from craft stores (idk any) or just a thin layer of pva glue (liquid form)
reccomended sealants are:
craft store sealants or mod podge which has a matte or shiny option
(I removed his face to remove the eyes without using the hot glue method.)
a group of furblets encounter a fearsome beast. kinda like a scaled-down version of this
