WIP shot of what I’ve got for Charmset #2, in varying degrees of “done”—from completely finished to not baked & cured yet.
Top row LtR: Gourry Gabriev (Slayers), Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Eridan (Homestuck; gift & not for sale!), Sailor Moon (eponymous)
Bottom row LtR: Lina Inverse (Slayers), Prince Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Austria (Axis Powers Hetalia; gift & not for sale!), Karralyn Greensleeves (Bowspirit’s Aim)
That Kyuubey was difficult for my giantess fingers :| So have a comparison shot to my Kyuubey dangle-charm from the first set, and with two quarters for an actually-relatable size comparison. I may make a third Kyuubey of the mini-size but in dangle form, though I probably should make some of the non-Kyuubey characters from Madoka now that I’ve seen the thing, haha.

I’m not going to reblog the post that made me remember this because it really doesn’t have much to do with it, it just sparked my mind. Also watch out, politics.

Random Fact: I cannot stand present-tense in narrative fiction. Fanfic, Fantasy, Nonfic, you name it, it drives me crazy and almost always completely takes me out of the story.
Part of that is probably attributable to being the de factor editor for all my classmates’ essays and stories in middle + high school and watching how often they struggled to keep themselves in the proper tense when using it (moreso than when writing in past-tense), but I think a lot of it is just that because it seems to be the go-to for fanfic writers (at least the last time I bothered seeking out fanfic at all) there’s a much larger quantity of bad present-tense fic. Or maybe it’s just because all the books whose narratives I enjoyed as a child were written in past-tense, while most of the books written in present-tense that I read as a child were mandatory school reading, and not part of my preferred genre subsets at the time.
But yeah. Present tense is grody. Not to say that there isn’t amazing stuff out there in present tense—not all trees are green—but I think I tend to be a lot more critical of works written in present tense than I do in past.
Let’s not get started on future tense, haha.

wow that makes an eerily good description of my internet life, whoops.
The Katara charm is done, and despite also having no chin (this appears to be a continuing problem for this set of charms) she came out quite well! Zuko and the other two are still only about a quarter painted, and I’ve got three more ready to be cured.
It’s too bad that setting up to paint these takes so much effort (it’s actually not that much but still), since doing them is a nice change of pace when I’m being artistically blocked elsewhere.
