Okay, Let's See if the Text Posting Works.

In other news.  The chocobo bit me.

Well not… really, just.  First blood.  Ah yes, this surely means the project is nearing completion.  (No, no blood got on the chocobo.  Just other places.)

Tail done!  Groundwork for the claws, done!  Must finish the claws, inside of the mouth, tongue (half done as of now), stiffen the unwired wing feathers, then trim ALL the fuzzies.  And then holy shit it’ll be done.  DONE.

That all sounds so simple.  Doesn’t it.  Just wait until “the accessory” starts coming together.  What am I doing with my life part 811,187.  I need to get materials next week.

I’ll definitely need some size comparison shots with Cassie when this bird is done.  The pup is a petite but… reasonably-sized pug.  And this chocobo is just… big.  I need to stop accidentally increasing the size every year.  Mostly because I really am going to wind up with a life-sized version one of these days.

Now that’s a crowd-funding project.  Fundraiser: Help Orin Maintain Financial and Mental Stability While Finally Giving in to the Very Thing Everyone Knew Was Going to Happen Eventually Anyway.  (It’s a Joke; Mental Stability was Lost Long Ago.)

Now if you could all just remind me that I don’t need a physical copy of May’s Game Informer, everything would be fine.

Thanks for posting! Please continue to do so! Sorry about the late reply, though, I got hospitalized again. :(

Anyway, it's been obvious all along that chocobos are opportunistic carnivores. What other reason would there be for variants to evolve traits such as water walking, which would serve an herbivore no purpose? Feel proud that your blood contributed to the field of FF ethology.

I've actually been meaning to dump a few more in one post and then distractions. MUST STOP DOING THAT. Er, were you interested in the random short text posts too?

Also much in the way of boo and I certainly hope things are going well with you now. ...I hope that's already obvious, but still.

...........I wish I could put that in the description for Desert Bus, I really do.

It sucked, but it went better than previous iterations.

Yep, I'm interested in the short posts too. I want to keep up with you, but Tumblr takes up too much of my allotment.

Well that's a... jagged silver lining. Immediately I pictured a frowning Cloud Strife in silver, but nevermind.

I've updated here to include all of the missed text posts and hopefully I will actually remember to cross-post from here on. Possibly. Hopefully. Again.

Also for future reference, pictures are generally okay, yes? No? Maybe?

I have unruly blond hair, blue eyes, a thin build, regrettable fashion sense, and a heroic amount of trauma. I'm pretty much Cloud Strife, minus the ability to win a fight.

Oh yeah, pictures are okay.
