I can tell you why that was $30: it's vintage. I had one like it circa 1980, and the barrel flips out on a hinge to hold a plastic cap (see below). Pull back the hammer, pull the trigger, it goes BANG.

Have not seen another one ever, so this is an awesome find!

Woah do u have a license to carry that

GUYS GUYS GUYS SHE NOTICED ME GUYS SHE SES ME THIS IS THE BEST NIGHT

The next time I get on an Amtrak I'm gonna do so dressed as a highwayman of old, just to see if they'll let me on board.

Cap gun and everything, can you imagine? "No miss, I don't want trouble either. The mask? Is that an appropriate question, miss?"

[bag-0f-b0nes]

I made Jonny's sixgun for my cosplay!

Progress and details under the cut

For the gun itself i used a capgun as a base

Then i added all the extra parts

(Spx foam, pen core, pvc tube, metal straw)

(Not pictured on this one are a piece of brass i added to cover ugly seams, and some strass stones as rivets.)

And here are some painting wips [:

I don't have much to say about the holster- it's made from real leather, and everything, including the pattern, were made from scratch by me. It's also handsewn :D

I WANT TK LOSTEN TO AJJ BUT DONT KNOA WHETE TO START BECAUSE NEW MUSIC IS OVWRWHELMONG AN I AM INDECISIVE DO YO7 HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS

OHHH HELLOOO !!!! HEHEHEHEH I LOVE AJJ SO FUCKKNG MUCH YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT GUY

their most popular album (and for good reason) is People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People In The World”. it’s got some iconic tracks you’ve probably heard before like Brave as a Noun and Bad Bad Things ^__^. my personal favorites are Personal Space Invader, Rejoice, No More Tears, and. yknow what basically the entire thing. if you never listen to another AJJ album at least listen to this one cause it’s just so good

and THEN there’s a whole array of other albums that are all individually amazing. my older favorites are Knife Man + Candy Cigarettes, Capguns, Issue Problems! and Such (< yes that’s all one album title).

i’m also currently being fucked up by Only God Can Judge Me and More. absolute banger

honorable mentions are The Bible 2, Cant Maintain, and Rompilation !!!!

their newer albums are also insanely good too. Good Luck Everybody is probably one of my favorite albums of all time even if i don’t listen to it often.

Disposable Everything (+ Disposable Everything Else) came out in 2023 (DEE in 2024) and it’s also got some bangers. i haven’t gotten through the entire thing yet but I Wanna Be Your Dog 2 goes INSANELY hard.

TLDR: don’t get overwhelmed. just start off w/people who can eat people and see how you feel from there ^__^

[real-total-drama-takes]

Really love how Google returns bullet weight, when you search ‘cartridge weight’.

Look, Cave Johnson, the things that go in a firearm are cartridges, not bullets. They have bullets in them. There is a difference—the cartridge is also the propellant, casing, and primer. The casing on 5.56 NATO rounds weighs half again what the bullet alone does, 6 grams to 4, and then there’s 1.75 grams of propellant, and about 0.25 grams of primer (the primer is that little circle on the bottom of the casing, it’s basically the cap from a toy capgun). That means instead of lugging around thirty 4-gram bullets per magazine, a GI is carrying thirty 12-gram cartridges—three times the weight. (Add in the 180 grams for the magazine and each reload of your rifle is 1.2 pounds—hence the interest in caseless and polymer-cased ammunition.)

Number 1 for music asks!

1. A song you like with a colour in the title

Oh, God, there are so, so many from which to choose! Just when I thought I had one picked out, about five more would crop up.

Shall we go with "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin for reasons?

Two others that are less well known, but I fully dig:

"A Liar in Texas in a Green Room in Memphis" by Capgun Coup

"Going for the Gold" by Bright Eyes (yeah, yeah, I'm cheating a bit with the way "gold" is used in this title).

MUSIC ASKS =D

Frosty Ruins The Good The Bad And The Ugly

I don't know what it is about Clint Eastwood westerns but despite the hype, despite that on paper there's a lot I should like about them…I just can't get into them. I've tried this movie previously and never finished it and I've also tried A Fistful of Dollars and couldn't finish it, both movies that are supposed to be the best of the best for the genre. If I didn't love Tombstone I might be fooled into thinking I just don't like westerns.

So what didn't I like…mainly I thought it was boring, it just didn't suck me in. It's one of those movies I put on and then get lost and don't know what's happening because I couldn't pay attention. Part of the problem was it was so hard to identify with anyone because the characterization was so bad. Eastwood is like a video game character in a game before cutscenes where all the plot was on the back cover and he just goes around doing things. Why does he do them…fuck you that's why. He's a badass…why because that's just what he is because that's what he's supposed to be. And all the characters are like that, it's so shallow you have to buy into it pre-emptively or not at all, the title says it all, there's a good guy a bad guy and an ugly guy…it has all the depth of character and plot of two five year olds playing with capguns in the backyard.

What I also don't like about this style of movie is I think they are a form of propaganda in a way most people don't think of them as propaganda. There's the obvious angle of cowboys as real American heroes there to foster patriotism and celebrate American values…but there's another angle. They present a rewriting of history to present the American west as a lawless hellscape of gunfights,murder,rape and total chaos. Thus presenting this more free and independent period of the countries history in a negative light. That way people will assume the relative safety they think themselves to live in they can credit to the government and a more involved state. In reality the old west was a lot more peaceful than what we have now, even controlling for population. The reason incidents like the Ok Corral shootout are so famous is because it was such a rarity. In reality the whole reason America has such prosperity to whittle away at is because of the incredible success story that is the "chaotic" west. I've often heard things said like that liberty is an untested theory…but the old west was largely that test, yes they had government but it was different. It has been tested and proven but we let hollywood tell us what it was like and they have an agenda. Everyone walking around strapped meant a safer more polite society, less government involvement meant better economic growth and prosperity. And yet whenever I argue for things like getting rid of gun laws and taking government out of the economy altogether I hear the propaganda victims reply with horror and disbelief in their voice "but then we'd just have the wild west again."

And that's what is disappointing about this type of western. I'm supposed to love it…I should love it, I love the old west both the reality and elements of the fiction. A time where if someone attacked you, you could shoot them in the face with a gun that all you needed in order to purchase was money. It was in that sweet spot where the government was still there and still evil but knew it had to take a back seat and let people earn and create so it would have something to steal later. And instead what you get from the movie is strangers hassling strangers for no reason and it escalating to a gunfight over insults. Everyone is an NPC and their only setting is be violent, be retarded, be greedy making Clint the hero only by comparison.

One of my other complaints is just the sound, I get that this is more a function of the time the movie was made and not the quality of the movie itself…but all the sound being added in post made the whole thing seem more cartoonish, cheap and hard to listen to. It's an english language film that looks and sounds like a japanese dub. That being said though the music was really good and iconic and is one of the things I actually really liked in the movie.

I also wasn't a fan of the way the movie was filmed, shots seem to jump around and there's parts like the cemtary scene where this dude just seems to appear out of nowhere. My main complaint however is just how thin the plot was, this is a relatively short review mostly because other than general criticisms there's not much to say about the film because there's not really a ton of plot or dialogue, which some people might like, I know some people loved Mad Max Fury road for that reason but to me it just seems pointless.

However the action was good and if there had been more plot and more character development it could have been a great movie and at parts I see why some people really like it…it has good bones but virtually no meat. In the end i'll have to give this genre from this era a pass. I'd rather play Red Dead Redemption or watch Tombstone for my cowboy fix.

Autism moment of the day: someone asked for songs to contribute to a playlist and I linked People by AJJ (the version on Candy Cigarettes, Capguns, Issue Problems! and Such) but they added People by AJJ (the version on People Who Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World). Very sad and conflicted because I like the other version better and the vibes are way different but also I'm not gonna be a dick and demand they change it!! So I post about it on Tumblr lmao

Cataloging my own personal 31 nights of Halloween, a veritable Watctober.

I selected The Blob (1958). This movie was a fun time, it suffers from its age. The blob effects are very good i saw a finger print on the slime at one point. They really use the fear of the dog dying to great effect. Characters kept saying "i think the dogs dead" "no it ran away!". 40 year olds playing teens is wild. The kid with the capgun thinking hes gonna stop the blob was so funny.

If i had a nickle for every time co2 fire extinguishers were used to fend off the horrors, I'd have 2 nickles...

Big fleshy blob that just wants to eat you... sounds like The Flesh to me.
