So my amiibo inkling girl had this wonky eye. Her left-eye pupil was facing the wrong way, gving her a weird expression and it was missing a bit of black in it. I decide, as the dapper gentleman I am, to help her using a permanent marker. It's just a case of making a little dot, I can do that.
So I find this relatively thin marker from the top drawer of my computer-desk (it's inteded for marking CD's), turn the lamp up real nice and bright and gently tap the marker on the eye. Job done. Except, after this great success I feel a surge of confidence riding through my body, it's ready. I can do anything. I am an opththalmologist god! So I brashly decide to extend her pupil a bit towards the centre so the poor lass doesn't have such a bad case of chamelon-eyes. I make a few gentle brushes with the marker, and sure enough... it looks a bit better. So I apply some more for god-knows-why and of course I overdo it. Now she looks like she's trippin' balls. Fuck.
I rush off to the bathroom and dip a q-tip in some nail-polish, thinking that if I'm careful enough it'll probably just remove the fresh layer of permanent ink I just put on. Probably. It doesn't. I quickly realise it's doing more harm than planned and apply some toilet-paper so I can asess the damage. It's bad. The polish took off her entire eye, the black mask-like outline, parts of both eyebrows and discoloured her face. Double Fuck.
I attempt to apply more permanent marker to re-paint the missing eye, but you know it doesn't look any good. It's no precision tool, and I damn sure ain't feeling like some big-shot surgeon anymore. I just took off half this girls face! Humbled and annoyed by the experience, I order a replacement online just a couple minutes after, alongside a male counterpart for good measure. And then I write a lenghty post about it to warn others not to fall into temptation. Congrats if you made it this far, I guess. I learned something today; All amiibos are beautiful, and plastic surgery always ends up badly. At least I no longer feel like attempting a nose-job on a villager.
