7: August 31st

8: September 3rd

9: September 8th

P.S: 6 was August 28th, which was yesterday as I’m posting this. So you can still do something if you want.

looks like people are taking 9 selfies today, what with today being the 9 movie's 5th anniversary

I'm not gonna do all my plushes like I did a while back because that would take forever

The first character I first fell in love with: 6. The first impression I got based on the second and a half we saw of him drawing in the first trailer, was that he was some kind of engineer and was drawing blueprints of some kind. He also had an interesting design [patterned fabric and mismatched optics], so I was curious about him more than some of the others.The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: 9. I didn't like 9 all that much at first because he was so new that he was doing things that made everyone go '9 WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING', but now? I rather like him.The character everyone else loves that I don’t: I don't like 5 nearly as much as some people in the fandom. He's okay, but.. I'm more neutral towards him. The character I love that everyone else hates: 1. So much of the fandom I've seen in the past has characterized him as this evil dictator that likes to go into 6's corner and beat him up with 8's help and tear up his drawings because they're not relevant to survival or whatever. Or even saying that he should just drop dead. I'm sorry but no. 1 might be a crotchety oldest sibling type that dislikes being challenged by newcomers that have a lot less experience than he does, but I also am a crotchety oldest sibling, so I can see why he's acting the way he is. 

The first character I fell in love with: uhhhh hmm I don’t think a single character falls under this? I know 5 caught my eye first because his terra-cotta colored eye patch and single eye reminded me of a character of mine. After actually seeing material and then finally seeing the film I’d have to say my favorites became 1 and 6.

The character who is my ‘baby’: 6, the twins, Fabby. 

The character who I do not understand: I think every character had at least one trait that left me sitting there being unable to understand why they were acting like they were, but as far as fully not understanding a character there really isn’t one..?

The character that I think the show fandom ruined [I am replacing the word ‘show’ with ‘fandom’ because there never was a show and the only place to go for additional material was the fandom, as is the case with movie-based fandoms]: 6 and 1. I saw way too much of 6 being portrayed as this poor, tortured, possibly-schizophrenic character that got beat up on by 1 and 8 for no reason [or something stupid like ‘ur drawings are useless!’] and had to be ‘saved’ or something by a female OC that was also his love interest and becomes the one thing he ever thinks about and fawns over her all the time. And usually it's 6 doing all the affectionate things and the OC being oblivious to most of it until 6 point-blank admits his love. That is not to say I am against pairings that involve OCs and 6. It’s just.. I saw enough of that and then some from so many places that I grew very tired of it. With 1, I saw way too much of him being portrayed as this evil tyrant that did bad things just because he was bad and deserved to be killed. Yes, 1 was not the best to be put in charge. He could’ve handled things better as far as taking care of the Clocktower residents. But he so clearly is not as 1-dimensional as I saw him made out to be.

The most attractive male and female character: nnone? I do really like their designs but I don’t know if I’d go as far as to call any of them attractive. 

The character death that was the worst for me: I was an idiot and watched all the leaked footage in clips and when I actually went to see the movie I’d already seen 99% of it, and as such nobody’s death came as a surprise to me or even affected me negatively. The whole thing with them not really being gone that they showed at the end just.. kind of furthered that mindset.

The character that is the most like me: I honestly don’t know. I’m like 6 in the way that most people online are like 6, as far as being a socially-awkward reclusive artist. I’m like 1 in that I am the oldest sibling and I am grumpy towards them and get mad at them easily and have problems when I feel like I’m right about something and they don’t agree. I’m like the twins in that I hoard objects and love reading up on things so that I can learn more about the world. 

The character that I just want to be happy: the Fabrication Machine. I know, it’s a little weird, but I just see Fabby as an abused child that got ripped away from its parental figure and forced into building weapons until it finally snapped and killed the people responsible for it all. 

My four favorite characters, past or present: it used to be 1, 6, and the twins, but over time I learned to like 9 and 7 more so they’re also on the favorite scale.

so I saw people were doing 9 selfies. so I thought I'd take part.

so many 9 OC dolls aaagh

I can't very well take a picture of me with all of my 9 plushies in the same photo, so there are multiples. the only ones not made by me are the guy in the bottom left of the first photo with the million eyes [Sampi], the two on the left in the fourth image [Qoppa on top, 84 on the bottom], and the little 1 and 6 in the last image; all made by lumiguin. 

the rest are as follows, all listed clockwise starting in the upper right; first image has Camphire, Ipswich, Sampi, and Tau. second image is Morgan. third image has Alan, Virgil, Bonnie, and Julie. fourth image has Toby, Clove, 84, and Qoppa.  and the last one is 1 and 6 who are actually canon characters and not OCs of mine.

I would have taken pictures with the figures I've made as well, but they're packed in a taped-up box.
