She loves helping and loves my buildings. Like me she kinda hates this messy benchwork phase. Sometimes if she was stressed she'd just come and sit and look at my old layout and it would calm her down as she'd imagine she lived in such a pretty city. Another friend had a big stupid fight with his boyfriend and was reallly angry but he just plopped him self down in front of these tiny cute buildings and it calmed him right down saying it reminded him of Hayao Miyazaki cartoons (dude does love european architecture). I hadn't seen about half of them so I watched Kiki's delivery service and fell in love, the city looked and felt exactly like Prague if Prague was a seaside town. I'm actually going to try to base a building or two if I can off some Miyazaki locations just for my friend. Maybe do the bakery or clock tower from Kiki's Delivery Service.
As much as this hobby can cause stress, it can also be very therapeutic to people !
