Guess what Time

She did indeed suggest I conduct my piece

Ariana's fine it's not like she's a video game protagonist

"Unorthodox display of hubris but very well" is literally "weird flex but ok" but in myths

If Inuyasha is basically a dog and has dog-like behaviors



Does that mean that he'd run screaming from a vacuum

And a Noxire plushie would be genuinely adorable I'm just saying--

Maybe after I make sure that his current design is going to stay his current design, atm all of my characters are currently subject to minor or major redesigns lol

I feel like I've talked about this before but you gave a fair where you can enter crafts in a competition or something?

My two thoughts today:
Mini chess set
How do I make plush dolls

4-H is a program that's been around for like...100 years I think? It's old.

Anyway, it's where kids do projects related to a project area (cooking and sewing for example) and then take them to their county fair and have them judged. The most popular is the animal projects. You know how they have animal judging shows at fairs? If they're kids there's a 90% chance that it's a 4-H fair (there's also open show where anyone can show their animal, which isn't quite the same as 4-H shows but has the same concept).

Historically I've done what's called "General Projects," which is basically everything other than the animals themselves, and they usually consist of posters made by the participants. The general projects I've done are cooking, sewing, poultry (in the form of a poster), first aid, visual arts, and creative writing iirc

The best part is that the type of thing you need to bring usually vary depending on the project. Cooking involves...baking...one of three recipes from the book in each level (I will have it known that my coffeecake won State Fair Alternate in my first year). In the sewing division, they have accessories and clothes (my plush fell under "other sewed item"). In creative writing you can pick a fiction short story, nonfiction short story, or poem collection (except they're all judged together which I think is very unfair because it doesn't make sense to judge a nonfiction piece about seeing family during covid against a beautifully crafted fictional piece tHAT I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN CHAMPION FOR--*I am still salty and it's been half a year :D*). Then art is obvious, they're just divided into different subdivisions like digital, carbon and pigment and charcoal ike the creative writing should have been Funny story, last year I took a carbon/pigment drawing and a digital piece and won Champion, State Fair Delegate, and a trophy for and the digital piece went on to get Grand Champion in the digital arts division at the State Fair no I'm not bragging what are you talking about
Right the State Fair and ribbons

So there are three basic types of ribbons: blue, red, and white. Blue means that the project meets the standards set for the project area. You're judged on the project itself but also for the judging itself. If you're reading off the poster the whole time you're being judged, unless you have an really good project, there's no way you'll get more than a white ribbon. Red ribbons are a middle ground, and white ribbons are "basically you need a lot of work." Anything below blue ribbons and you can't get any other awards. Class champion is kind obvious, it means you had the best project in your "class" (kids doing the exact same project type, for example 1st year posters about chickens are grouped together). Now, Champion means that you had the best project in the division itself, but not the project area (you get Champion for digital arts, not for visual arts as a whole). State Fair Delegate means you did well enough that you were chosen to go to State Fair (it's optional, but many people go). State Fair Alternate is basically second place to the Delegate; if the Delegate can't (or decides not to) go, the Alternate might be allowed to go instead (I actually did have the option to go to State Fair as an Alternate for Creative Writing, but chose art instead).

The State Fair is basically like the county fair. Except bigger. All the delegates from each county in the State bring the projects they got the delegate ribbons to be judged against each other. It's basically the finals in a tournament. Everyone gets a special participation ribbon, and then there are the Reserve Champion and Grand Champion medals, as well as a white "Special Award" ribbon (when you had a really good project but it's not quite good enough to wing Reserve or Grand iirc.) It's really fun but also exhausting and stressful lol

So that was my in-depth essay explanation of 4-H please enjoy

Dude there are quite possibly more than 100 project fields, you can find something there.

Plus, sometimes you're even eligible for scholarships and money awards if you're enrolled in 4-H

And you get money for entering projects :DD

I fell asleep in a basket and took a nap for like 30 minutes

Or maybe it was an hour idk I don't know when I fell asleep lol

like a basket cat?

Inuyasha dog behaviors:
-sits like a dog
-growls
-protective
-barks when agitated
-does not like other people touching his food
-there was this one time in like the second or third episode when he was digging a hole and he looked exactly like a dog
