very random update blog
Category: Blogging

ey hey~ This is gonna be an update post, kinda mixed between fun stuff and more serious stuff. I'm gonna do serious stuff first, bc it's more on my mind rn. Yesterday I read Depresso Espresso's latest bulletin where they talk about the creepy interactions they had with a user on here, and it was really unfortuante to read. And I know that there are creeps everywhere on the internet, but... I dunno it's FriendProject... This fun corner of the internet that you can only really find if you want to. It doesn't have the appeal of a modern social media site, so I kinda figured like... Maybe creeps would be less of a problem? But I guess they always find a way :/  nd that kinda reminds me of something I thought about a while ago, how I noticed that minors are so aware that they're minors online nowadays and how I've seen a good portion of profiles saying things like "i'm a minor so dni if ur over a certain age" and stuff like that, which is kinda depressing? I will say, I was very lucky in my online experience. I've been on websites since I was 10/11 and I thankfully never had to deal with any creeps. But even amongst my friends and just hearing about things in the circles I was in, this wasn't as much of an issue? Or maybe you just didn't hear about it as much. I'm not sure, but I just think it sucks that this is something minors have to be so aware abt now. I'm kinda curious about what that new perspective is like, so if anyone wants to comment abt it I'd be happy to read.  nd on a less serious tangent, having to be so aware of this stuff, at any age, kinda takes the fun out of the old internet feel that fp is going for? I know that we're modern people on a relic of a site, but back in ye olden times™ adding everyone and having the most friends was a part of the fun. And when I started my fp account I added everyone in the spirit of that, but I've become really selective over time because I wanna avoid potential weirdos on here. Which sucks, but I guess it's a necessity now (It probably always has been but at least in my internet experience). It does help you get a better experience much faster, so at least there's a benefit to it. Adding ppl back who definitely like MCR was a great decision xD (also happy birthday gerard way~)   ow for the fun stuff!! I recently got in one of my dream dresses, Whip Factory!! I don't know how I didn't include it in my actual dream dresses blog post, because I've been after this one for years. I rarely found listings for this series secondhand, and definitely not in my prefered cut and colorway (salopette in pink). So finding this for not a million dollars was something I absolutely had to jump on (shoutout to pandemic stonks)! The print is insanely detailed, and I think it's my first main piece that really encapsulates everything Angelic Pretty is known for (and what I love about them). The custom cake lace at the hem, the absolutely incredible border print, the adjustability/accomodation for a range of sizes, and of course, the deep pockets xD Getting this has kinda motivated me to try and start a wardrobe post for real, so maybe I'll do that if my shopping service order works out (I found some nice blouses, a rarity for me haha). I'm def gonna wear this to the library, it's surprisingly light and airy, which is good for rn ^^  It's finally legit getting warm so it'll be good to wear over the summer.   (also oh my god can u tell I got a new phone?? xD I'm so glad I don't have to struggle with picture quslity anymore, I used to have to try so hard to just get a decent pic for anything I wanted to upload aaaa)  also found this Blossom plush backpack! I love the Powerpuff Girls, it was my favorite show on Cartoon Network (I didn't have cable tho oof, so I just had a vhs collection) and I could never find merchandise retail. (except for this one pair of pajama pants that I still wear because I could never get rid of them *o*) When I started buying things online I looked for plushies to buy and I found out about this, but they were so hard to find. My bff and I looked for one of these for years, and I finally found one! There's a lot of useless research that I had to do to pick the correct version of this item but it was worth it ^^; For anyone who might be looking for one, there's at least two main releases I know about: the colored strap version released in 2000, and the black strap version released in 2001. The main difference, besides strap color, is the size of the backpack opening on their heads. The colored strap version has a much smaller opening (maybe ~3in. from what I can guesstimate) while the black strap version has a bigger, more functional one (~6in. from what I could tell from other ppl's listings and my own measurements). Surprisingly there's a decent number of listings for these of all three girls on eBay right now, so gl if you're looking for one! ^^ lso, did u guys hear abt the ppg live action show that's happening? I'm nervous but optimistic abt it. I saw some prod pics and it looks cool so far! I'm glad they're keeping their classic outfits, even if it's just for a little bit (that was something I was rlly disappointed abt for the winx netflix show). idk when it's coming out or anything but I'll make a post when I watch it ^^  nd yeah! thx for reading. I know that this post was a bit all over the place, and usually they're more thematic/tonally consistent, but idk I just had a lot to say. :P (p.s.: i've finally started using absolute alignment and... it's too much power lmao omg xD)
