stupid period
May. 10th, 2024 02:04 amWell, it's been a long, long time since I got to work and had to almost immediately leave due to period shenanigans. Jesus Christ.
Sigh. On the plus side, I now have time to read the new SVT graphic novel (still cheering over the cast list in the back!) which I've been dragging my feet on because woof, the art is worse than I anticipated. I took a picture of one of the pages as I was on the phone with Cass when it arrived and she gave me a "wtf" response. It's... I feel bad when I say artwork is bad, but ... well, maybe I'll like it more when I read it. I just don't think that's gonna happen, based on what a painful downgrade we get from Nora at the end of the previous GN and the Nora of this.
But at least it's not the final GN. Just pissed that Nora got the short end of the stick. DAMMIT.
( Finished it. I have thoughts. If you're the artist, do not read this. )
And I also have time to debate whether I want to fight the crowds for the MH general public launch of Wednesday and Morticia (I think they're cute and I love Tish) or finally dip my toes in the world of Mooncat polish.
I've been eying a few for awhile but I don't know how I'll feel about the handle. It seems to be very love it or hate it, both from an aesthetic and practical side. I know some who hate the look but love how it feels and some who love how it looks but hate trying to use it, so... who knows. I don't hate the look but I also don't love it and I don't know how I'll feel about using it. I've got me a wishlist that I started before I knew they were doing a sale, and I've got a mockup cart, which I've been trying to whittle down. The problem is Mooncat fans make Holo Taco fans look rational, so trying to sort out which polishes live up to the hype and which are better left to the imagination (and tricky photo edits) takes effort. Like House of Hades is one that everyone and their hamster mentions, but as much as I think the glow is pretty, I don't think I love that it's flakes? I've also got Rue Morgue in my cart though it doesn't look as pretty on the site BUT it's been on my wishlist the longest because I saw swatches of it and it was amazing soooooooooo. On the plus side, I have figured out that some of those in my cart are likely to live up to the hype.
I might've allowed myself to just go a bit nuts if not for the fact that one of my actual indies is dropping a huge summer collection and I love far too much. Plus side, no real dupes. Wait, that's not a plus because then I'd save money. G'ah. But it won't require fighting to the death while Mooncat and Monster High will.
Okay, off to work on laundry.
