so i went to my local dollar store the other day nd found these g4.5 pony blind bag thingies for like $3 each
nd first of all lemme tell u, these are not high quality figures, but fuck if i didnt want a little twilight sparkle figure for my desk. so i was reasonable and got only 2 packs instead of All Of Them and figured it was 2 tries at a 1/4 chance, whatever right? best case scenario i get twi and rarity, worst case i get 2 rainbow dash
well as soon as i thought the worst case into existence i KNEW i fucked up. in that moment i was one with the universe and the universe was in my bones and i had tempted fate herself and was going to pay the price
i went home and opened the bags.
and i got 2 rainbow dash.
okay!! fine!!! we’re going to do it this way, are we? like no flame to rd, it just so happens if u have 6 main characters in a show and rank them, one of them is gonna b at the bottom of my list and thats ok! it’s just id really rather have a twilight sparkle figure please and thank you
so i went back to the store a day later and bought 3 more packs. each one a 1/4 chance for twilight sparkle. and as i was walking home i thought to myself:
“man, it’d b funny if this time i got every other figure except for twilight”
well guess what?
i got a rarity, a pinkie, and another rainbow dash :)
i tempted fate again and yknow what? thats on me! fool me once shame on me and all that, i had it coming. so now im here with my 3 rainbow dashes and 0 twilight sparkles and my crippling gacha addiction gene rearing its head for the first time since i managed to quit spending irl money on pngs of anime girls in 2019
i went back to the store.
i bought all the remaining bags they had.
i had 5 more tries. 5 more 1/4 chances to get a twilight sparkle figure. 5 more 1/4 chances to get a SINGLE figurine of my favourite character, and 5 more 1/4 chances to get yet another one of my least favourite.
i figured this time the odds were in my favour. i may have passed stats on a technicality, but at least i figured i’d given myself the best odds i could. and in my hubris i thought to myself:
“at least there’s no way they’re all rainbow dash”
well :)
i clearly hadnt learned my lesson
i’d tempted fate again, and FUCK if she doesnt know how to commit to the bit because,
i walked home from the dollar store.
i opened the last 5 bags.
and all of them were fucking rainbow dash.

very first face tracking test for soap cats, I'm really happy with it! Definitely need to work on refining a lot of the shapes though
gonna blab a whole lot more under the cut because ppl dont usually reblog art posts that have 200 paragraphs haha
So! I'm getting a quest pro headset real soon, and that's why I'm making facetracking for soap cats. However this video is using ARKit data (iphone) from a really nice person in my discord who sent it to me. (i do not own an iphone/ipad)
I'm setting up all of this with the quest pro in mind, using the unified expressions standard, but i renamed the shape keys to arkit shape keys so they could use the same animation keyframes so i could see em in action before the headset arrives
if people aren't super familiar with how face tracking works, basically i have to custom sculpt a TON of face shapes that the tracking device blends between. This video is animating 50 of them, but I've made 70 in total! And I think it might end up being more like 72-74.. i skipped a few mouth shapes I thought weren't necessary. The actual amount of shapes i had to Sculpt is a little lower, since most of them need to be split up into left and right versions and some of them upper and lower too. But it's still a lot!
& a final note, this is seriously just my first pass at the face tracking. Documentation for what shapes to make and how to make them is a bit barebones, so I had no idea how it would all look together until I rendered out this video. I'm planning on making it look a lot nicer with way less clipping :)
you unironically listen to will wood?????? oh my god, I can't believe I ever interacted with someone so irresponsible and garbage without even fucking knowing
go kill yourself and never talk to me again
favorite song: love, me normally. will wood
color: purple
currently watching: regular show, we bare bears, my little pny
spicy, sweet, or savoury: what the fuck, "spicy" and "savoury" are not flavors.... they're sensations!.... I like salty foods
current obsession: my little pony
last thing I googled: rarity gets fit. for personal reason
tags: @fatteneddessert what are your opinions on rarity's weight.
Thank you @orangetubor for the tag!
Favorite song: Personally I prefer to listen to a show or movie instead of music (I'm watching Heartstopper while writing this) but if I had to pick the current song stuck in my head is Your so pretty by Wasia Project!
Favorite color: I love the colors purple and green 💜💚
Currently watching: Like I said I'm currently watching Heartstopper while writing this but I'm also watching Young Sheldon (for the hundredth time) and Disenchantments!
Last movie: I finally watched Nimona after the giant fad over it I read the book a long time ago so I thought it was about time I watched it!
Spicy,sweet or savory: Personally when I eat I want something sweet and savory I'm not great with spice but if I had to pick it would be savory
Relationship status: Single but makes sense I'm Aromatic 🥲 working up the courage to ask out a friend.
Current obsession: Heartstopper obviously my current head line is "obsessing over Heartstopper, Charlie and Kit Connor" and I've annoyed everyone one I know to watch it and I've FINALLY found someone who likes it as much as me 💕
Last thing I googled: Christen Otais and Sia OK I'll tell you why so I needed a picture of them for a post 😭
No pressure but I would love to know more about these blogs! @thediamondarcher @sleepy-vix @smol-bean-large-world @aretemisapollo @thespians-and-lesbians @angryautisticnoises @sapphicshock @lunabelova1122 @meisterdani @jade-r0se @unbelievably-sane @unrepentant-byler-shipper @heartstoppercentral
