Random minifig of the day: frnd0637

This minifigure is very "Friends". It just feels like exactly what is. I'm surprised that it didn't come out in 2015.

Second minidoll in a row, but not from the same theme as yesterday's. Also, thanks to visiting the figure's database page, I found out that Brickset has a "Wheelchair User" tag. I was rather surprised to find that there were five Duplo figures. But then, you can understand why I wouldn't pay enough attention to Duplo sets to know that they'd made Duplo wheelchairs. I'm mildly tempted to get one and a figure to sit in it, though, since I have all three of the minifig designs and the minidoll design.

It’s! LORE! Time!!

Luna is one of the students attending heartlake international high school. From the sets, we can infer she is active at the skate park. Luna is also part of the student council and part of the school newspaper team. Another fact about Luna is that she loves donuts, as revealed in the next chapter S3 ep1

And yet none of this explains why she's wearing scale-mail or shoes made of coral. Is Luna an anatomically confused mermaid, or at least, even more anatomically confused than the garden-variety of mermaid?

The coral shoes are clearly part of the deal she made to get legs. Modern reinvention of the “every step will be like walking on knives” that the original little mermaid had to deal with no doubt

Woah. Pulled up the set image. Saw the wheelchair. Saw the table top. Didn’t see the table base at first, and was trying to figure out what possibly illegal method they use to attach the giant tray to her toes.

@Lemerbrix06:
Part of me is now mildly…sorry, I meant morbidly curious what it would even look like for someone on a wheelchair to take on a pro-level skate park. There’s just that part of my brain that keeps insisting that would be a quick way to qualify for an “upgrade” to one of those wheelchairs that steers with a joystick. Or maybe I’m just worried I’d throw out my back or something if I tried watching such a video.

See, I have a history with skateboarding. When I was really young, we were visiting a friend’s house, and they had those old style torpedo-shaped plastic skateboards (for context, I wouldn’t even be able to get both feet fully on the deck as an adult). We were goofing around with them in the basement (nice smooth concrete floor, and very empty). I had never skateboarded before, so I was just kneeling on one of the skateboards and pushing myself around the basement. Until I hit a thin cord with the wheels, and I kept going. The skateboard, however, did not.

Cut to me bawling my eyes out as I showed my mom the tooth that I’d just lost on the basement floor. My mom had recently heard that you could reinsert a lost tooth, and it would magically reattach itself like nothing had ever happened. And this is supposedly true…if the root is still attached. I was really young. Baby teeth separate from the root when the adult tooth starts growing in. So my mom took this rootless tooth, pressed it back in place…and let go, like it was going to magically suction back onto my jaw.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, I reflexively swallowed. Bye bye tooth. And immediately I realized I wasn’t going to get a visit from the tooth fairy (again, really young at the time) if I didn’t have a tooth to put under my pillow. Oh, and also, somewhere in my old hometown there is a house. With a basement. With my permanent bloodstain soaked into the concrete floor.
