I always forgot that I have these props laying around, I'm not really into cosplay or anything, I just liked the design of these weapons enough to make em, I guess.

I also have a hylian shield that I never finished laying around, maybe I'll finish that one someday. ⁠(— ⁠ω —)

So we been watching that one Amazon series "The boys", it's a good show, sometimes Nerine and I will get something to eat while watching a new episode, just to receive a grim reminder of what type of show we're watching, and I'm not talking about the explicit violence.

I personally don't have any problem with that stuff, but Nerine will be halfway through munching a sandwich or whatever just to be hit with those scenes and start gagging.

pretty fun show, u should give it a watch.

You know those nights in which you just cannot fall asleep for whatever reason? well last night it was one of those, it was around 2 or 3am I believe, and Nerine sent me a message to check if I was asleep, I told her I wasn't and so she asked if I could go and hang alongside her for a while.

Sometimes Nerine likes to go into the family's car so she can play videogames at night and scream dumb stuff as much as she wants very loudly without bothering anyone who might be sleeping inside the house.

Playtime was over however, so that's why I was summoned to hang with her for a while, can't remember what we were talking about at first but at some point we ended up talking about ghosts and that typa thing, personally, it's very hard for me to believe in all of that juju shit because I've never experienced anything paranormal of sorts, I kinda would like to be proven wrong and experience something paranormal just to have a good story to tell, but that has yet to happen.

Nerine claims she has experienced weird paranormal stuff before she found me, but since then, she has been experiencing less and less these events.

Anyhow, she said that she could like transfer weird vibes or something, idk, can't remember how she explained it but basically just touching you and then weird spooky stuff starts to happen, something like that.

She said she tried it with a friend of hers some time before and that she was able to feel it and then both got creeped out and stopped.

I got interested and I said she tried it on me, so she did, she hold me and we stayed in complete silence, it was super late and there was absolutely not a single soul outside so the ambient was really quiet, like if someone just pushed the "mute" button on the world, it was so quiet I could hear my blood pumping.

we waited a couple of minutes like that, and for a split second I thought I heard whispers, from like and old lady or something, dunno what they were supposed to be saying tho, then I heard nothing again, Nerine told me if I heard something, I told her about the whispers and she said she heard something too but she heard a crowd instead of one single person, after that she tried it a couple of morr times but nothing happened so she gave up.

She said I maybe would be able to see things and alla that but absolutely nothing happened, I imagined that'd be the results but deep down I kinda wanted it to work ngl.

About the "whispers" idk, could've been anything really, my head imagining things, confusing the sound of my blood pumping for a voice or maybe someone was watching TV nearby and I was able to hear it thanks to the quietly night, idk, but it wasn't really enough for me to accept that ghosts and ghouls are rooming the earth.

whenever something truly inexplicable and creepy happens to me you better be sure I'll let you know! That if Beelzebub doesn't consume my being first.

Ok so the other day I went to the kitchen to get myself a bread slice, I know some people don't like the top slice but I don't really care so I took it.

But then Nerine saw me do that and told me that I shouldn't grab the top slice of a bread loaf, because that part is the one that protects the rest of the slices from becoming stiff.

I said that's what the bag is for, we asked her mom to determine the answer from this dispute and she said she has heard of that but doesn't really know if it works or not.

I tried looking on the internet but found nothing about it, so I'm here to ask y'all, the top slice of a bread loaf is the one that prevents the rest of slices from becoming stiff, true or false?

(this slice right here)

mk, so I woke up one day, and there it was right in front of me, a whole bag full of different gummies just waiting there on the bed.

Turns out Nerine's brother brought it and leave it there for Nerine and me, so we started eating some, Nerine ate just a couple, less than 10 gummies, probably, then just stopped.

But I couldn't resist, gummies are so yummy for me tummy, they were those sour-fruty kind of gummies, I started munching non stop, and when I got out of my trance I just realized I almost ate around 2 lbs worth of gummies in one sitting.

Nobody else wanted em, since I offered and the responses were all negative, so I felt free to eat as much as I wanted.

after a couple of hours Nerine came back from her gaming session looking for the bag, just to find the thing almost empty, only like 6 gummies remained.

She immediately turned her head towards my direction and asked if I ate em with a nervous smile of disbelief on her face.

I said yes, her mom got noticed of the situation and I got scolded, not because of not sharing, but because of the inhuman amounts of rubber that I just consumed.

Her Mom was concerned more than anything, she was thinking I would get sick to death.

While Nerine was just in a corner nervously giggling, still unable to believe what just had happened.

It's been more than a whole day since then, I don't feel bad, physically, but the concern I just spread thanks to my previous actions make me don't wanna repeat this ever again.

lately a lot of pill bugs seem to like infiltrating inside the house, I just grab em and put them back outside, but they always seem to find their way back in anyways.

Maybe it's cuz of summer and heat and such, this teeny tiny house can become such an oven at times, found this little guy just chilling, took some pics.

Looks dead but it ain't, I checked, guess the poor fella just was sleepy or something.

Last step is the sweater

So, final step at last! the sweater is made up of 5 components.

we'll first start with the body, just like anything remotely close to a box shape, you just bend everything inwards, close and glue together, should look something like this:

Now, the arms are tricky as well, but all you gotta do is just glue the shoulder tab to the back of the face that has a letter on it.

Once you got that, the rest becomes pretty intuitive, ur usual bending of tabs and edges, closing everything shut.

The little fists are more of the same, just gotta bend everything inwards and glue tabs together, just be careful not to lose em, they are quite small!

You may have noticed a lighter area at the bottom of the arms, that's where the fists will go, you can attach either one wherever, doesn't really matter, they are the same.

But the arms have designated spots, just gotta match the letters.

And With that done all that remains is attaching our 3 segments, just like the legs and arms, the head has a little indicator at the bottom for placing the body, the torso should fit all the way into the sweater.

AAAAND PRESTO! Little Nerine has been completed!

hope this process wasn't too much of a pain, I had fun doing it and I hope you did so. (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)

Next are the legs.

Alright, legs, so the legs are 3 parts, 2 legs, and a torso (I know a torso aren't legs)

The little torso part is very straightforward, it's just a little box, you bend everything inwards, glue together, bada bing bada bang.

we'll put that aside for the moment, the legs are a bit tricky, you want to bend the sole and the feet inwards but the rest of the leg outwards, it's a bit confusing but it should look something like this:

this goes for every face, all of the tabs go inward as usual.

then you can start gluing everything, I'd recommend starting with the front and leaving the back at the end, it's easier for me this way at least.

once you have done this for both legs you'll notice that at the top they both have a number, just like the bottom of the little torso, this indicates where each leg goes, make sure the torso is pointing in the right direction when you do this, it says at the top which side is which.

And that's the legs!

I'm hoping u have small hands or some tweezers, cuz otherwise you'll probably gonna suffer with this one.

other materials are the usual, a pair of scissors, liquid glue, a box cutter and a toothpick.

Turns out the type of paper I used wasn't actually cardstock but one named "opaline" I believe, there are 2 versions of it (as far as I'm aware of) one that's super thick and other that's a bit thinner yet thicker than your regular sheet of paper, that last one if the one I'm using, but u can use a regular sheet if u wish, the only difference is the opaline makes it sturdier.

But that's enough, let's get down to business! (sorry if some pics are blurry, I started shaking like crazy for some reason).

Let's do this step by step, first we'll do the head, which is made up of 4 parts, these ones:

you should have everything cropped out just like in the pic.

let's first start with the ahoge thingie.

Very similar to Shoko's antenna, you're going to bend it right from the middle where it mirrors, like if it were a book.

once you have done that you can glue it shut, but be sure to leave the the white squares at the bottom intact, they'll come in handy later on.

next is the head, before you start bending anything first make sure to cut the ears out with the box cutter, just follow the guideline until it meets with the hairline, then you can bend it outwards.

I'm dumb and I forgot this step, until I had glued everything already.

But once that's out of the way you can start bending everything inwards, tabs included, very straightforward, don't forget to curve every face (except the bottom one) to give it that rounded look.

then you can glue everything together.

next is the hair, there's a little line at the top which you wanna cut first with the box cutter, the little ahoge will go in with the pointy side pointing to the right (your right).

then, you can open the little white part underneath like a grapple hook and then glue it to the hair, then the rest is doing the same thing as for the head, also making sure to curve every face, and then glue the whole thing shut.

then there's the bangs, for them you wanna cut following the lines that are closest to where the face will be, separating the tabs as well, but just from one side.

After that, you can attach the tabs, closing the gaps and once again giving that slight curvature to the bangs, horizontally.

You will notice that the hair piece at the front has an area that's lighter than the rest of the hair, that's an indicator of where the bangs go, make sure everything aligns before gluing together.

And now all that remains is attaching the hair to the head, you do that and voilà! the head is completed.

And make it double! Guess who has joined me into my paper immortalization?

that's right, it's Nerine!!

And just like myself, she could be in anyone's home at this very moment! (if u have the patience).

here's the little pdf file if u're interested:

I'll make a little step by step guide on how to assemble it, might need it more for this one.

Head piece

Bottom piece

Everything else

but that's it, thanks for reading! (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)
