After literally years of decrying the fools and bigots who think that orientation is the be-all and end-all, I have made an orientation mistake so hilariously embarrassing that I am compelled to share it with the world.*

So, Von’s brother? He makes these papercraft toys called Blockheads, of which I purchased a pack at a craft show a couple of weeks ago.

They are awfully cute. Even the packaging is cute.

Here is the first one I completed, his name is Bokusu Kage:

The package comes with a blank template. So one can, if one is so inclined, make up to two more custom Blockheads (one on each side)! I opted for a dinosaur and got straight to work… a little too hastily, as it turns out.

Looks OK so far, right? See if you can spot what I did wrong.

“I can spot it, you bastard!” says the Blockosaur.

Oops. My bad.

Gosh, that looks uncomfortable.

And yet, he is so very ruined that it’s kind of funny and I can’t stop laughing. He just looks so mad now.

I am sorry, Blockosaur! Next time I will pay attention to where your body attaches. And in the meantime I will give orientation the respect it deserves.
