WHACK

The hitting-a-watermelon-with-a-bat-at-the-beach thing I think is mostly Japanese and something only gleaned from my years reading manga and watching anime, but I always thought it would be fun to do. Hitting anything with a bat is basically the best thing ever. Coal would agree with me, I’m sure.


A while ago I tried making a survey to see if there was any interest in a print book and get some other curiosities of mine sated. Sadly, with Survey Monkey, you only get 100 responses before you have to pay. I got at least double that, which was annoying. SO I found another little survey thing that claims to allow unlimited answers for free, etc., so I wanted to try doing this survey again.

Please take the survey! It’s only three questions and won’t take you long.

Thank you guys so much! :D I will make another post about this next update.


Do you know what Patch Together is? If you do, feel free to skip this paragraph. If you don’t, I’ll tell you! Patch Together is a website where people can submit design ideas for plush toys, figurines, and even T-shirts. Each design is voted on for an indeterminate length of time, and if the design gets enough positive votes and enough interest, the PT guys will turn that design into a reality! I’ve been wanting to do something with PT for a while, but none of TMK’s characters would really work as a figurine since their designs are so arty. Seriously, I have no idea how Coal’s hair would even work in three dimensions.

SO, I submitted a different idea: Jormungandr the World Snake as a plush toy! I thought it would be a neat idea to make a flexible plush so you could have Jormy drape around your neck or curled up on your bed. If you could vote for it to happen, I would very much appreciate it. :D THE CATCH, HOWEVER, is that you must be a registered member of Patch Together to vote. I understand if you don’t want to do that, but it’s a neat site and you might find other things on there you like. You might even want to submit an idea of your own! And, if you really want a Jormy plush, you’d have to register to buy it anyway. Voting and getting this out into the world helps me a bit too, as I do get some profit from it.

If you’d like to vote, here’s the link to Jormy’s page! I’ve also got that little thumbnail of him on the right sidebar that I’ll keep up for however long. There’s no real time limit, but the more votes and interest the better the chances of getting picked for production. I’ll probably be plugging this for a while so be prepared for that. :D

Thanks so much! See you Thursday!
