Okay, I loved this. The goofiness of the first two eggs, the all too relatable social awkwardness, and the creepiness of the last egg all hit it home for me. Well done!

ah, thank you so much !!! social anxiety can be extremely debilitating but it's also ridiculous, silly and sometimes necessary to laugh at. i'm glad the goofiness translated:)

apologies - i thought this comment was on a different post of mine! i did create this color effect :) i made the graphic by combining several elements (the tamagotchi skin, the stick figure, the shadow & the censor) on Canva and recolored the tamagotchi skin, which was originally light blue, purple, pink & turquoise
