one thing i learned over the years of observing/making cosplay, and recreating things in miniature the more complex the original design the less you need to worry about getting all the tiny details 100% right, nobody actually remembers exactly what it looks like so if the outline, colour (if applicable) and main parts are there people will get the gist
UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.
YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.
The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isnβt supposed to happen.
Weighing in to say:
The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info
Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.
And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.
But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity
So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.
Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat
The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!
Suffer no longer my fellow TF MTMTE fans! Rejoice for I have scavenged the depths of the darkest caves and climbed the highest mountains to bring you LL reference photos and sketches for all my struggling background artists.

HAUUGHRHGHH ANALYZING THE MICROSCOPE MAN
I look at him and I see that they did a decent job with his design because there are the parts that actually correspond to a real microscope. And I work with microscopes, I know the basic anatomy of one.
There are, of course, parts I can't find, such as the light itself and light adjustment dial, the two (or one, depending!) dials for moving the stage up and down, etc, but he does look like a microscope.
..I'm normal about Percy, I swear.
