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! (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

Something funee happened earlier today, so I was at school and it was break time already for me, so I went to Nerine's classroom, as I usually do during breaks to talk to her and such.

the place was totally empty, except for her so I stepped in and sat on the chair right behind her, I was trying to start a conversation when she turns around, looking at me and it was then when I noticed that she was doing a test.

The teacher was there, and I didn't notice her, just like she didn't notice me walking in, can't remember if she was talking to another student or was on her phone, point is she was distracted.

Turns out, Nerine was doing an english exam, she isn't the best at the language but definitely not the worst either, I think she just needs to believe in herself a bit more.

Luckily for her, right behind her was someone who could help her with that, and so I did!

most of the questions were answered already and most of them were correct, so even tho I helped her with some of the answers I most of what I did was just telling her "yup, that's correct", that's why I think she just needs to believe in herself.

She knows all of the insults tho, so don't even bother trying anything with that.

So, I fetched myself an Uber ride, because it was late at night and I can't drive, I truly wonder why.

I don't really talk to Uber rides, if they want to have a conversation I don't mind talking, but if they don't then I don't have a need to talk, I enjoy my silence, I guess.

But anyways, it was one of those silent rides, I was looking through my window, when I noticed a moth that was desperately trying to free itself from this giant metal coffin, hitting over and over the invisible wall that is the window.

I decided to open it a bit for it, the moth suddenly stops hitting it's face with the window and just stands there for a couple of seconds, my eyes were on it the whole time.

BUT THEN, this little shit does a 180 and just goes straight to my face and smashes itself right in-between my eyes and only then it decided to go directly to the exit that I opened for it, never to be seen again.

dunno if that's how moths show gratitude

or what.

Aight, so this time I was peaceful sleeping when I got woken up by a voice desperately calling my name, yeah it was Nerine, it was almost 5am but she sounded so scared that she scared me a bit as well, went from sleepy to full awake in a second.

She came to me and I asked her what's going on, turns out all the commotion was due to a spider that crawled by her foot, she really really doesn't like bugs, so no wonder why she reacted like that, she said this spider was huge and that it was hiding under the bathroom sink, I don't really mind bugs so I was sent to investigate.

Got myself one of those long thingies that are used to unclog the sink and started poking around and I could finally see it!

It wasn't that big tbh, could even be considered small depending on where you're from, but it was red-ish and looked dangerous, besides, Nerine wouldn't let me rest until she was sure the spider was no more so she let me borrow her flipflop to carry out the execution.

Target was neutralized successfully with no issues whatsoever, funny thing is that even tho she knew (cuz she saw me do it), Nerine still was very anxious about the thought of that little fella crawling around and was shivering and almost got to the point of screaming in horror once or twice, she hopped onto a chair at some point.

She was being so noisy about it that at one point her mom woke up and very tiredly asked "what's wrong?" I replied with "it's just a spider" and she then just said "oh" and got back to sleep again.
