Snakes In The Ball Pit => Yay, I get to talk about me! => Topic started by: One Of The Crappy Pokemon That Nobody Likes on April 05, 2013, 11:46:38 pm

So as I mentioned in the otherkin thread, I will tell a hilarious, awful, and 100% true story about dead astral dragon babies and internet stalkers: http://ballp.it/index.php?topic=260.135
(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/095/2/1/squishy_cobra__by_jazaaboo-d60lg4h.jpg)
However, I will only do it if I win this silly stuffed animal contest, because I am vain and want a squishy cobra of my own. And hey, it's a snake, so theme appropriate!
I will say DO NOT DO ANYTHING SHADY like register junk accounts or something. They'd probably think I was doing it if you did that. Keep it fair, but at the same time get everyone in on this.
VOTING'S HERE: https://www.squishable.com/p/opensquish_snake_12968/

Voted and promoted (on my tumblr)! I don't have a lot of followers, but I know at least some of them are fans of squishy round plush toys, snakes, and/or the F+.

DOT EYES
Yossarian, April 06, 2013, 01:56:32 am
"DOT EYES" is a note I have put on every single one of my submissions. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES
-
I went through an exhaustive registration, verification, and deliberation process to finally arrive at the voting part. This process took nearly forty seconds.
This had better be worth it, fat snake.
-
Voted. This one's for you, dragon babies.
-
GOOD WORK GUYS BUT THE CURRENT AVERAGE SCORE ON THE DESIGN IS 3.88
THIS WILL NOT DO. 3.88 CAN'T WIN THIS. HIGHER! HIGHER!!!
To further entice you, I will say that the story also includes secret forum posts, magic, and UrbanDictionary.
-
voted though wow that was annoying
squishsite doesn't let you vote on phones
and i tried to link my facespace to it thinking like well this should be easy for a lazy person like me and then maybe family will click but that didn't work either (it's start a popup and shut itself down) so i finally registered for reals and blarf verification
it doesn't recognize being logged in between tabs for some dumb reason on my computer
i kept clicking verify and it was like HI I'LL SPAWN A NEW TAB AND I SEE YOU'RE NOT LOGGED IN SO YOU CANT VERIFY and i'd log in again, verify again, lather rinse repeat
ANYWAY I VOTED
-
At first I thought you meant "hey can anyone sew this" and I got excited because I have a bunch of fat quarters and scraps that I haven't been able to use.
...can I still make one?

I WILL ALLOW IT AND YOU CAN ALSO CHANGE IT HOWEVER YOU WANT (COLORS PATTERNS ETC.) also if you do I'd like one too someday, haha
-
Saturday night chez Cuddlesquid: Fuck Skyrim, sew cobras
-
Voted, though I'll hold you responsible if FB starts sending me ads for snake vore.
-
Voted! If it gets made I'm seriously considering buying one for my sister.
Incidentally Portaxx, there's a sex toy shop in North Portland named Fat Cobra. The more you know~
-
The missus says, "From the view of it, I can probably knit her one. Yeah, it's cute as hell, I'd love to try knitting it."
So you got two votes.
-
I occasionally ask Portaxx to make illustrations for my PowerPoint lecture slides. My favorite one was for apoptosis, pre-programmed cell death. She drew a little samurai cell committing seppuku.
(http://i.minus.com/iVSsggauqLvOW.png)
I always get a nice mixture of smiles and what-the-fuck looks when I show it in my classes.
-
I have to say, that's the most poetic way I've ever seen cell death described.
-
You could say it's cellpukku.
Anyways! I have voted, and I will also commission you soon to help you financially, Portaxx! I've loved the commissions I've gotten from you so far, so I would totally love to get more :D
-
A few thoughts!
That snake is adorable! It appears to be fuzzy, and squishy, and it definitely has Dot Eyes. However, it does not appear to have a Bitey Mouth. YOU'RE OFF YOUR GAME PORTAXX!
Seriously though, it is way better than the other entries. The rest are either way too busy or look like hunchbacks.

Runic, April 06, 2013, 06:42:37 pm
Don't worry. In the future I will have a submission that definitely has a big bitey-mouth on it. And then I will harass everyone all over again!
-
Yay!
-
Sort of related: Portaxx, have you ever played The Asylum: Psychiatric Clinic For Abused Cuddly Toys? Because it seems like it'd be right up your alley. Lots of dot eyes, a couple of bitey mouths, and a wicked sense of humor.
Also I might make a dice bag based on the Lemon mascot just because I can

I haven't played it, but I've seen things from it and you are 100% right about it being relevant to my interests! I want to play through it some day because awwww, poor insane plush toys.

DOES HE HAVE SPACE FOR A HOT WATER BOTTLE
I honest to god cannot tell you how much I want Sly or the little raven dude.
Portaxx: check it out. (http://www.parapluesch.de/) Start with the snake, he's the easiest, although the "Professional help" option is basically a built-in walkthrough if you get stuck.
Also it's possible to get one of the plush toys addicted to video games. Which means you have to give it electroshock therapy. THANKS, GERMANY.
-
he does. well, he has a little pouch. it's not large enough for a real hot water bottle, or mop for that matter.
the raven and the turtle are new, but i haven't played since college haha

Fair warning, the raven starts out fairly normal but then takes a sudden U-turn to LSD land.

portaxx, April 08, 2013, 07:42:50 am
I would give Fatty Cobra at least eighteen donuts.
-
Oh my God, you didn't say we'd be voting on a Squishable! I fuckin' love those things, I only have one medium-sized one because they run a tad expensive, but they're fantastic. I would definitely buy a Fatty Cobra and use him as a throw pillow. VOTE FATTY COBRA. WORLD NEEDS FATTY COBRA.
(http://www.squishable.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/mini_worrible.jpg)
Design of my Mini Squishable Worrible (http://www.squishable.com/pc/mini_squish_worrible_7/squishable_massive/Mini+Squishable+Worrible). Poor little dude is top-heavy or something because he always ends up standing on his head, but he's extremely soothing to squeeze the ever-loving fuck out of. Plus I got him on the cheap because he was ripped. I have a soft spot for factory errors and also paying less money for things.
ETA: speaking of messed-up plush when did there get to be more than three animals in that game Jegus it's been like forever I thought that site was dead

BEHOLD, FATTYCOBRA VS. A DONUT: THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE:portaxx, April 08, 2013, 07:42:50 am
Just thinking about them to dangle them in front of a fat snake makes me want them.
-
So the voting's over but no winner's been announced yet. We'll see what happens
and I might be too paranoid to ever give out my address for a custom fattycobra but no worries, now I have two MORE weeks to be even more of an attentionwhore!
BEHOLD! SQUISHY VULTURE AND SQUISHY FRILLED LIZARD!

If you all feel like stroking my ego once again, the voting for fattyvulture is here: https://www.squishable.com/p/opensquish_vulture_14147/, and the voting for fattylizard is here: https://www.squishable.com/p/opensquish_lizard_14144/
And yes, there are more that have not been posted yet. I have a problem.
-
Voted. You know you got my votes.
-
It's weird how you keep ending up right next to alternate designs for the critter you're going for. The bearded vulture design is FUCKING TERRIFYING, though.
I think you've got a really good chance this round since you're not up against a tardigrade this time. Tardigrades are pretty irresistible. The only odd one out in this round is the Bunyip (https://www.squishable.com/p/opensquish_creature_14782/), and it is an insult to nightmares wherever dollar DVDs are sold (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtrYO-Mog60).
ETA: Voted on all of them to see the scores, and at 3.62, Fatty Vulture is only behind the Hermit Crab (3.80). Fatty Frilled Lizard isn't quite as hot at 3.12, but is far outranking the other frilled lizard with its score of 2.00. Also, voting on all of them opened up a "secret menu" with exclusive merchandise (which I probably won't be buying) and free recipes for cider and cookies (which are pretty cool). So a worthy venture, all told. I'll try to keep an eye on scores.
-
Okay so fattycobra didn't win :( GUYS WE NEED TO MAKE A PUSH FOR FATTYVULTURE NOW. And fattylizard, but the lizard's at an extreme disadvantage since another frilled lizard already won a previous contest. C'MON GUYS INSANE STORIES ARE STILL WITHIN REACH. LET'S DO THIS THING
-
Voted and reblogged! I love these adorable fatties

Just got an e-mail saying another design will be up tomorrow. It'll be one with a BITEY-MOUTH...

You're welcome, fatty vulture! You should cut down on the carrion, though, for realz.
HMM WHAT NUMBER SHOULD I VOTE THIS NEW DESIGN, SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM

YOU WANTED A BITEY-MOUTH, YES?
https://www.squishable.com/p/opensquish_piranha_14142/
There's some stiff competition this time, but hopefully I can get some extra support. Leaving gushing comments seems to help pull in attention. Not required, but still helpful too!
-
Voted a number. Guess which one.
That piranha looks like it's helped skeletonize quite a few cows in its day.
-
I will vote for absolutely anything you put up. Commented as well.

portaxx, May 03, 2013, 11:14:41 pm
Fatty Piranha is my favorite so far. 5'ing the shit out of that.
You design a fatty giant marine isopod and I will vote on it so hard the internet will break.

Isfahan, May 03, 2013, 06:44:06 pm
I think it's the carriout that's doing it.
-
Okay I voted 5 for squishy piranha.
-
Ugh, I can't believe the dog is leading at 3.44. There are already a ton of dogs and no piranhas, how is this not painfully clear?
That having been said, Fattyfish is in second at 3.39 right now. Close scores this time, and that turkey and non-sucky mantis shrimp are 3.32 and 3.31, but I think the novelty of the piranha is attractive.
I'm not saying everyone should downvote the dog but everyone should totally downvote the dog
-
You're at 3.41 and due to what I'm sure are just a lot of middling votes the mutt is at 3.40. I'm asking some of my friends to vote as well to help widen the gap!
-
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST seriously I don't want to harass people but I really want to make big pushes to win this. I know it's such a ridiculous goal but as a kid I always had "have a commercially-made plush sold in stores" as one of my many silly dreams. Sappy? Sure. I mean--DON'T JUDGE ME
-
I don't see why your dream is any stupider than my childhood dream of being Chinese when I grow up.

it's not a bad thing to dream rediculous-big forever, says yuri gagarin along with belka and strelka
(actually he says 'the way for man is open' i think but hey that could mean the same thing)
A PORTAXX-DESIGNED PLUSH WILL BE MADE. someday! hopefully someday super-soon
-
I really have no doubts about the inevitability of Plushtaxx being made. I mean there's a really good portmanteau right there and everything. It's just a question of how long it'll take to catch.
Ugh, the Hakutaku is pulling ahead. It irritates me when designs that seem really implausible to make seem to get more votes for being "special". That thing has like a jillion add-on bits, isn't the point of Squishables that they should be really round and cuddly?
-
FATTYVULTURE AND FATTYLIZARD LOST. BOO. FATTY PIRANHA, IT'S ON YOU NOW.

So this is tangentially related, but I brought a rough approximation of the fatty cobra to life as a 3d printed mini: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/clqvjey6k6jnrjc/CVAhSMb2vf Sadly, he's not particularily photogenic in the black ABS plastic but with a bit of paint should turn that right around
