Art & Character (Jenika: https://toyhou.se/4870216.jenika) © @CentaurWorks

Within the early days of being a genie, Jenika looked at her vessel and finally inspect it. But, seeing how she did not like most bottles, she saw it as gaudy and just tossed it into the trash without hesitation. Unaware of the binds to said vessel to say the least.

This was a fun idea I had in my head for a while, just the idea of a genie tossing out their own vessel with zero hesitation has so much potential for comedy. I used a lesser-known OC as she was the one I had the idea attached to. I also decided to try something different with the shine when I went with more cel-shading.

If you like it, leave a comment! 😄

Flippin’ Heck!

Recently, I enjoyed attending the performance of the magnificent Island Soul Choir at the Nanaimo Port Theatre. The whole show was a treat and included performances by Treble Magic and Tai Williams.

The show was thoroughly enjoyable, and all the singers and musicians were in excellent form. It was everything I had hoped for. Except …

Sitting in front of me was a woman who was enthusiastically engaged in the show. She gyrated to the music, waved her arms around, and bopped to the rhythms like it was 1969.

That was not a problem. I had similar gyratory tendencies myself, but I was constrained by my British class-conscious upbringing which required all expressive bodily movements to be restrained in public.

No, her enthusiasm was not my concern. What bothered me was that she repeatedly flung her long hair over her shoulders. It was the theatre-restricted version of Glinda in Wicked. Hair-tossing as statement. I don’t think she even knew she was doing it. It was just a habit to toss her locks into other people’s immediate vicinity without her even thinking about it.

As I tried not to notice and tried even harder not to be bothered, I reflected on all the things that we all do in public spaces where the seating is confined such as waiting rooms and airplanes. There is an unspoken agreement that we keep our voices low, we don’t drop litter, we try to take phone calls in a semi-personal location, we have our children use their inside voices, we respect personal spaces, and we pretend we don’t actually see what everyone else is doing.

Her hair did not touch me and her hair-tossing did not impact the performances, but damn! Should I have said something? Probably. Could I have done something? Not really.

It was one of those “Just let it go” events. Repeatedly.
