Waow, call me 21 because. Because. I am! I can now legally go and partake in a beer or something should I wish to. Maybe not now, per say, cuz like even though it's spring break it's still a Monday morning. But I'll probably use my newfound 21 abilities eventually. Maybe something peach flavored, that's always nice...

Anyway... cake! This year, it's vanilla sponge cake with cream cheese whipped cream frosting and filled with more cream, chopped strawberries, and chopped peaches. It looks like something Pinkie Pie whipped up and it smelled amazing every part of the process. I'll get to eat it later tonight, and for that I am VERY excited.

Birthday stuff aside, might as well take the time to get in a standard "hey check this shit out" type of blog post cuz it's been like three months.

...behold!!

Finally made shelf space to dedicate towards my three favorites who all also happen to be in Street Fighter 6 at the same time. I mean A.K.I. it's a given she's there it's literally her debut. But Terry and fucking Ingrid? Literally miracle picks.

A.K.I. has been getting a lot of love in the merch department lately!! 3 whole official plushies and plenty of little figures and stuff!! Even the handmade plush fits in nicely! I really want that finger puppet figure of her eating a little boiled egg!

Not as much Terry stuff as you'd think I have. I mostly get my Terry stuff secondhand and Terry is quite popular so his merch goes by fast + gets expensive (see: his KOFG plush being pricey vs "I literally found Andy's for $3). Also I don't typically buy things like acryllic standees n' such so there's lot of other stuff of him I'm just willingly choosing to skip out on (same with A.K.I., lots of standees n' such). Also as much as I love my Bishoujo statues: I'm sorry Cutie Terry just doesn't appeal to me enough to want to get her Kotobukiya statue.

Eek! The Beast! Like 2/6 of the stuff here and handmade and pertaining specifically to Stupid Ingrid Baby. Anyway Ingrid has like a lot of old gachapon n' smaller scale statue figures out there, and with SF6 she too, like A.K.I., is getting a merch boom (I have her little fluffy plush preordered and really want that finger puppet figure of her eating fish sausage). The Midnight Bliss figure was actually a Christmas gift from my dear friend Banjo!! I am forever grateful!!

Lastly. Not technically a shelf thingy (where would it even fit?), but pertaining to these three specific guys!! My lovely fightstick! A.K.I. Terry Ingrid Triple Baka :). I think it turned out nicely even though the fightstick customizing process made me want to rip my hair out. If I did another design for one of these, it'd be A.K.I. Terry Ingrid Blank Room Soup, lol.
