@DreamlandGem Awww cute!!
Hmm I wonder if that's Isabelle's canonical height🤔

@Nintoz I mean, she is as tall as the player character in-game so…

@Tyranexx Is that a IRON GIANT thumbnail??? That movie is SO GOOD one of my favorites...

@DreamlandGem you met DOOM Guy's Girlfriend!

@Susny There was a Pikachu related Funko I thought about getting since the aesthetic fits the little guy, but I convinced myself not to buy it lol.

I think I will try to experiment with rice balls sometime. Even if I can't find nori, at least rice is easy to find around here. The sky is the limit when it comes to fillings lol. Now to just find a time when I'm less busy or lazy, depending....

@GalaxicGlobe Why yes it is! I've seen the movie, but it's been ages. It's probably due for a rewatch.

Last time I have performed storytelling to grade 1 - 3 students with my diorama in November 2023 with title The North Wind and The Sun.
Do you want to hear my version of this storytelling?

The story started on a young man named Alexander who live in Santorini, Greece.
One day he wanted to visit his friend Victoria that not far away from his villa. Before that, he baked a Pistachio Baklava then he watched the weather forecast from his TV to check the current weather this afternoon. After watching weather forecast, he called Victoria from his handphone to make an appointment by visiting her house and having snack party over there with his handmade Baklava. Before he left from his house, Alexander brought the umbrella and wore his red jacket.

Victoria's house was not far away from Alexander's Villa so Alexander have a walk to visit Victoria's house. While Alexander was on the way to Victoria's house, meanwhile in the sky there was an argument from Aeolus the North Wind and Helios the Sun. The had an argument about who was the strongest by boasting their power. But when they saw Alexander walking on the street with his red jacket, Aeolus had an idea to make a competition to prove their power by making Alexander take off his jacket. Helios wasn't really interested with the idea but he accepted the challenge and let Aeolus did first.

Aeolus gathered his wind power and blew some cold wind through the Alexander. Alexander zipped the jacket once he felt the cold wind and it made Aeolus upset. Then, Aeolus gathered more wind power and it made the sky getting darker. He blew more powerful wind with some rain on Alexander but it made Alexander using his umbrella and keep walking. Aeolus became very upset and used all his wind power to the maximum and it created a hurricane. Alexander couldn't resist from the hurricane and he blown away in the sky and dropped on the bushes. It hurt his arm too a little bit. Aeolus was baffled and upset to see his wind power couldn't make Alexander take off his jacket so immediately he stopped using his wind power. Helios was surprised with the chaos that caused by Aeolus. And now it's Helios turn to prove his power.

Helios used his sunshine power by smiling in the sky, shining over the Alexander that still on the bushes. The sunshine from Helios warmed up Alexander and made him unzipped his jacket. Helios raised the sunshine temperature
and it made Alexander felt hot. Then, Alexander take off his jacket and continue walking to Victoria's house. Helios won the competition and it made Aeolus upset, but then he admitted Helios was stronger than Aeolus and he apologized for being over confident.

Back to Alexander, as he reached Victoria's house he found some mess over there. When he met with Victoria outside, Victoria explained the crazy thing happened outside that caused her house got messed by strong wind and sunshine heat. Alexander offered a help to clean up Victoria's house before having snack time together. After they finished cleaning up, they had snack party with Baklava at Victoria's house. The End.

How was my story about The North Wind and The Sun ?

How's the weather for you people today?

Its cold, windy today. Even had snow just yesterday.

@Tyranexx Definitely rewatch, such a good movie

@GalaxicGlobe The Iron Giant seems to be one of those movies that slid under most peoples' radars back in the day. Now it's getting more of a cult following. Which I'm completely fine with lol.

@Anti-Matter I like it! It's a pretty good retelling of Aesop's The North Wind and The Sun with some modern elements.

@Tyranexx
Thanks. 😊
Glad you like my fractured version of The North Wind and The Sun.
It was my 4th storytelling that I used diorama to deliver the storyline.
The 1st was Three Billy Goats Gruff with given name Maxton, Milton and Kidd for the goats and Trevor for the Troll.
The 2nd was The Honest Woodcutter with Harvey as honest woodcutter, Evan as dishonest woodcutter + Harvey's partner, Aria as water goddess.
The 3rd was The Fox and The Bear with setting at Japan. The Fox was Kitsune and the Bear was Kuma.

I'm still working on the 5th storytelling as it will be my first storytelling that using my own original story.
The 5th storytelling will be Wolfgang the Police Wolf.
I used my anthro animals characters from my Boxing characters 2020 before as the characters in the story as the anthro police characters & visitors and I combined with two cameos from The Fox and The Bear as police as well. The characters I casted:

Main characters
Wolfgang the wolf, as police
Maurice the monkey, as police & Wolfgang's partner
Marco the tiger, as chief officer.
Felix San Diego the Tuxedo cat, as the thief of museum stuffs.
Regina bunny, as the museum owner

Extra roles
Billy the ox, police
Harris the horse, police
Shawn the skunk, police
Derek the deer & Royce bunny = museum visitors
Kitsune fox and Kuma Bear = police (cameo)

@Nintoz we need to delve into Smash lore for that

I think you can measure everyone's height comparing it to Peach

Fibbit… so we had an all hands meeting at work. No bonus or raises for the second year in a row ( no paycuts or layoffs though). I live below my means but this does mean I will need a part time job or two so I don’t have to take out any student loans. I’m going to have to help grow my department (I am not a saleswoman which is why I always refuse a C-suite title) but I guess I am gonna have to become a proper businesswoman. shudders But there is some potential with that. If I am gonna put in the work I will ask for the CTO title which means more money/opportunity later. But I really don’t wanna do that. I like having some time to myself…fibbit.

Anybody else in upper management/Csuite but don’t really wanna be there?

@Princess_Lilly

This was the first video I found which compares every fighter to Mario in one way or another. Idk if this is accuarate at all but going by it, it says that Isabelle is 1.41m (4ft 7in)

...which just raises more questions than answers about the photo XD

@Tyranexx I didn't even know they made Funko Pokemon. This Funko talk reminds me, I kinda miss the days when they made vinyl figures of MLP characters that weren't Pops. The figures were show accurate and looked great. I wish they still did stuff like that, since those were very detailed.

Best of luck when the time comes, they can be fun to make and experiment with.

@Nintoz therefore, @DreamlandGem 's canon height is way under 1.41 m. The canon has spoken

And on that bombshell, Fluffy Dreams Everuone!

@Anti-Matter More good stories. I'm sure the students liked the illustrations with them too. I like the direction yoei original story is going too. Especially with the literal cat burglar.

@Sunsy Figure quality is why I'll buy the occasional amiibo if it's from a franchise I really like. I've seen vinyl figures that can look very good too. While I like some of the stuff that First 4 Figures comes up with, I highly doubt I'll ever dig deep enough for what they're charging.

@Nintoz @Princess_Lilly Can confirm this is true

@XandertheWise It snowed over the weekend which i love the snow but it snowed so much that alot of the roads were too bad to drive lol so I stayed and played Mario VS donkey Kong for switch Friday night but Saturday Night I went to a couple bars with some friends and we came back sloshed and played a very long and rowdy game of beerio kart xD

Oh, that sucks
He also deleted his Letterboxd and Serializd profiles too, which makes me even more concerned.
I hope he’s doing okay

I’m surprised he had other accounts though, what were they?
