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.

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.

I got gifted this precious plushie today!

I called it dino fetus, cuz he looks like a dino fetus, very cute.

Nerine's brother brought some salmon fillets to eat today, and so I tasted it for the first time, and I found out that I freaking love it!

I never thought fish could taste so good, it yummy, I love salmon, I LOVE SALMONNN

Sometimes while she's asleep, Nerine starts making noises like she's trying to talk or something, there have been times whe she has actually talked asleep, like full sentences, then, when she wakes up hours later and I ask her about it she says she doesn't remember any of that.

Which is kinda weird since she can also sometimes hear while sleeping, I guess it only works when you're not directly talking to her, I dunno.

Anyway, not so long ago when she went to sleep, I started doing my bloky activities as usual, then she started making some noises again, but all of a sudden she started twitching like she was being electrocuted (it wasn't me I swear I wasn't even touching her).

She opened her eyes and I asked her what's wrong, she said someone was trying to grab her or hurt her, something like that, I don't remember too well, besides, she was barely speaking actual words since she was falling back asleep, so it was hard to understand.

Very weird, wonder if the fact that she stayed up all night and went to sleep once the sun was back up in the sky had anything to do with that.

Alright, so here's a step by step guide on how I to built the thingie.

What I used were a pair of scissors, a box cutter, tweezers and some liquid glue and a toothpick.

The paper I used to print this is called cardstock, I think? It's a little bit sturdier than regular paper but you can print it on regular paper as well if you wish, although the antenna might become a bit of a problem if u do.

Okay, so first thing is you wanna cut everything out of the sheet, it's just two pieces, so it should look like this:

Before bending anything you may wanna cut the little line on the top, you can do this step later on but it can become a bit troublesome so I just rather doing it right now, I did it using the box cutter for an easier time:

Then you can start bending everything inwards like your average paper dice, do it with all faces, as well as all tabs, I used the tweezers for this step, very helpful, should end up looking something like this:

Then, before u start gluing anything on the main body we go to do the antenna, it has a black line where the antenna mirrors which is a bit hard to see cuz the printer I used sucks, but it is there, it's a guide line to bend everything in, kinda like a book:

Once you have it like that you can glue it together, except for the little white tab at the end, that part you just wanna leave it like that for now:

Now that you have the antenna all set up you can insert it through the little cut on top that we made earlier, the white part should go all the way in.

Remember, the side with the white shine is the front part!

Once in, then you can spread the tabs away from each other:

With that done, now you can glue the tabs to the inside of the top part:

Now you can start to close everything shut, I don't really have a detailed explanation of this step, I just started closing the sides first and then I just did the rest however I could.

The toothpick was very helpful for this step since I didn't wanna pour glue on everything, so instead, you can just pour a bit of glue on the side and then use the tooth pick to careful spread it across the tabs, you can use a cotton swab as well for that.

But anyway, once you somehow managed to put it all together then, presto! It's done:

Forgot something, you may wanna bend the antenna a little bit forward, to give it that curvey goodness:

Hope you find this guide at least a bit helpful, I didn't think it through too much. (⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)
