I have emotions! It’s not all abraca-fuck-you and what have you. I have a beating heart! I’m multi-dimensional! I’m a fully-realized creation! FUCK!
@vero-valzer as Taako the Wizard from The Adventure Zone
Realized Tumblr and its smol but rad and dedicated TAZ Fandom might be the right place to share my Taako cosplay that I'm proud of and really enjoy wearing. 🌂✨️💖
These pics span multiple years and multiple outings, featuring a few different iterations on this cosplay at this point—from conventions to Ren Faires.
It has filled my heart with glee every time I heard someone gasp and go, "Is that Taako? From T.V.?!" which gave me the opportunity to spin around and say, "Why, yeeeeeees~! ✨️" in my best Taako impression or give a tip-o'-the-hat and wave and get to see people's eyes light up and smiles spread across their faces. 💖
#it always surprises me that people recognize a cosplay of a character that's based in a podcast that officially ended years ago#maybe the graphic novels are helping keep it around and keep interest in the Balance arc alive?#i have a blast cosplaying Taako and get so excited when people realize who I'm cosplaying#gonna hand out plastic “jewelry box” macarons with lil star beads in 'em at some future Ren Faire when trading trinkets! Just you wait!!!#surprised at how many people recognized Taako and how many TAZ cosplayers i continue to see--especially at an anime-centric con this year?!#pleasant surprises all-around honestly#wearing Taako as a cosplay helps me feel a bit more confident and like I am allowed to be Just A Silly Lil Guy (within reason of course)#yeah i get the feeling he's going to continue to be a repeating cosplay for me. prob will continue to iterate on it (new pants--longer wig?#the adventure zone#TAZ#the adventure zone: balance#taz balance#TAZ taako#taako#taako taaco#taako cosplay#crossplay#TAZ cosplay#ren faire#Renaissance Faire#comic convention#anime convention#umbra staff#bureau of balance#Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire#Emerald City Comic Con#Sakura Con#Sakura-Con#my cosplay#vero-valzer cosplays

An aspect of God of the wild that is so funny to me is how all the advantages of your God being just a guy are also disadvantages because he is a guy who knows you personally yall have beef
It removes some of the privacy(?) of those vulnerable moments, because yes God is listening to those prayers but like. God is listening to those prayers and he knows your address and will confront you on what the fuck you just said
Tommy; "-and I hope all my enemies suffer terrible pains specially ranboo please make him fall of bridge"
...I'm not going to do that
Tommy; "FUCK!"
#the dog barks#god of the wild#Dream almost never replies or acts on prayer so people often forget he's like. being blasted with these mfs and cannot stop listening#so they'll just mutter their hopes to themselves like a more traditional prayer#Quackity playing with the pearls of a pearl necklace like they're beads and saying quasi-prayers out of habit and desesperation#and eventually he jut turns around from the balcony one day and Dream is just *there* behind him#Yes god is listening. Just dont forget who God is#dsmp au

It just hit me that my cousin thinks I'm emo/scene idk??
#his response to me asking why was#are u serious?? I found u hunched over two boxes of beads with 18 finished bracelets and pierce the veil blasting in the back while u#sang every lyric to whatever song was playing. then proceeded to look at me while I had a confused face and then said and I just walked#by for a quick second on my way back from the kitchen all that was missing was the monster u drank before it was 10#safe to assume I think my other two cousins might think the same but haven't said nun yet#I don't know how to feel about it tho#never really thought of it that way tbh

Star Trek Strange New Worlds S1E8
I know it was about Dr. M'Benga's struggle to let go of his daughter with a terminal illness and allow her to have closure/a sci-fi afterlife (?) but
Romjin and Navia playing Una and Ortegas as the Cool lady ranger and the battle-hungry lady knight??? Gooding as Uhura as the evil queen?? Peck as Spock, playing the evil wizard....
everyone looked very good. 👀
#Star Trek#Strange New Worlds#Star trek snw#im pretty sure peck's spock is at all times holding in energies capable of destroying a bisexual on-sight like a gorgon#I do want to spotlight Olusanmokun's king costume in the tags tho: it was really cool especially the carved beads#Mount surpressing Captain Pike's powerful dadly energies to chew the scenery as a cowardly steward role also was so painful#you can tell Mount had a blast but it hurt to see the character stuck like that#NOT TO MENTION GOODING OH MY GOD SHE KILLED IT YOU CAN FEEL THE ACTOR HAPPINESS RISING OFF THE EVIL QUEEN ROLE

Is glass bead blasting suitable for aluminum surfaces?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4f7c7943b018e5e9001494506bad01c1/35cc45dbe773b384-40/s540x810/f1cf7550be437f1bcacd2ee960513c08bd8b6efb.jpg)
Introduction
Aluminum is a widely used material known for its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and versatility. However, achieving the perfect surface finish on aluminum often requires specialized treatment. One highly effective method is glass bead blasting, which provides a clean, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing surface. But is glass bead blasting truly suitable for aluminum? This article explores the benefits, applications, and best practices of using glass bead blasting for aluminum surfaces while addressing common concerns and frequently asked questions.
What is Glass Bead Blasting?
Glass bead blasting is an abrasive cleaning process that involves propelling spherical glass beads onto a surface using high-pressure air. The process is non-aggressive, ensuring minimal material removal while providing a smooth, uniform finish. For aluminum surfaces, this technique is especially beneficial as it cleans and finishes without compromising the integrity of the material.
Benefits of Glass Bead Blasting for Aluminum
Surface Cleaning
Removes contaminants like dirt, grease, and oxidation from aluminum surfaces.
Ideal for restoring corroded or tarnished parts.
Improved Surface Finish
Creates a uniform, satin-like appearance, enhancing the material's aesthetic appeal.
Leaves no sharp edges or roughness, making it perfect for decorative applications.
Non-Abrasive Process
Unlike harsher methods, glass bead blasting does not aggressively erode aluminum.
Maintains tight tolerances and does not compromise structural integrity.
Corrosion Resistance
The process helps to close surface pores, reducing the risk of corrosion.
Ideal for aluminum components used in outdoor or marine environments.
Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly
Glass beads are recyclable, reducing waste and cost over time.
No harmful chemicals are used, making it environmentally friendly.
Applications of Glass Bead Blasting on Aluminum
