i mean the truth is that we do not need and should not have all this stupid plastic clutter in or houses. no one should be producing or selling this shit. everyone make your own merchandise and charge a living hourly wage to sell it 🤷 sorry to be so simplistic about this but it's one of the results of the lack of class unity specifically in the means of production-owning creative class, who is not mentioned or dealt with by the core Marxist texts as far as I know (i asked about this earlier on here, did marx ever address in his analysis people like, for example, a professional photographer who owns a camera ans prints his own dagguereotypes? or a portrait painter or idk, independent milliner or seamstress? these people all own the means of production and do not employ anyone, and the answer from better educated people than I was that no, Marx didn't mention them), I'm not well read on this at all, there is just a big void where leftist analysis of what modern economists call "the creative class"

I'm getting off topic. my point is make your own keychains in your kitchen. it's actually not hard. you can even mass produce (on a small scale) little plastic crap if you want, with resin and a UV lamp, or a 3d printer, or a laser cutter and acrylic sheets (or just use balsa wood damn, at least its biodegradable and less tacky).

all this stuff is available to little creators AND there are hundreds of people who already own these machines who will take work for you and produce your designs. you just have to actually find them and know them and email them. that's what I mean about the class unity issue with creatives. we have no large scale union, we have no large scale class consciousness, and we're all sending our orders for little plastic crap to sweatshops instead of emailing a guy with a laser cutter in his garage and saying "hey Keith can I get uhhhhhhhhhhh 50 laser cut keychains of this twerking Diggler design I made, like how much would that cost" and he's like sure here's the work and materials cost and tbh it's always always less than i think it's going to be. you just have to do some basic arithmetic and then order shipping, and I hate order fulfillment with my life but you can actually pay or barter with someone to do that for you too. learn to delegate and then factor that into your unit cost. this is basic shit every commercial creator needs to know. they should teach you this in art school but they dont

don't give me crap about "I can't afford a laser cutter" either because I just told you to email Keith. and all these machines get sold secondhand when a manufacturer or hobbyist needs to upgrade. i got a color laser printer perfect for making zines and wheatpastes and shipping labels from a retired lesbian on capital hill for $75 and it was still full of ink. my friend gave me her 20 year old canon dslr because she just didn't need it and didn't want to bother selling it. it works fine because I spent the time finding the right drivers and shit for my computer. and card readers exist. Craigslist. Facebook marketplace. nextdoor sales section. eBay. everyone always forgets eBay. eBay lets you save searches and will email you when it finds a guy selling his vinyl plotter in your city with local pickup. I'm serious

[commsroom]

memoria is incredibly close to my heart, but when i listen to it now, it's hard not to think about the undertones re: how therapy as an institution handles disability. maxwell's objective was always to help hera get back to work, to find accommodations she could function under, or otherwise to replace her. "i'm sorry you feel like you can't do your job." maxwell presents her solutions in a less hostile framing, but her methods are the same ones cutter threatens hera with in her live show performance review (re: deleting her memories) and it's something she intends to do regardless of hera's consent. maxwell's practice aligns with goddard's interests, and of course it does. there's something about therapy as maintenance, and the treatment of the disabled mind and/or body as a broken machine.

hera is used to being condescended to and taunted for her limitations ("we all have our limits. you can't do what you can't do. it's not your fault.") and that intersects with her trauma ("i can't do this. i'm not good enough.") in a way that inherently ties her self worth to her ability to be useful and perform a job. as a result, she has a gut reaction to and a resistance to anyone suggesting she might not be capable of something, or that she might need help, and that makes her constantly push herself past her limits, causing real damage. the problem is that hera is disabled, there are things she can't do, and she hasn't been given the security or compassion to really come to terms with that. no amount of ways to manage doing her job will really help the core problem; she needs to be able to separate her concept of self worth from her productivity. "we get things wrong, and we get better." is a nice sentiment, but i think it applies more to interpersonal conflict than physical burnout. hera even directly calls back to and casts doubt on that specific line later in the show.

that's why eiffel matters so much to hera. when eiffel says "you can do anything" - he believes that, he has that kind of sincere faith in all of his friends, but he means it even when it's disproven. he's seen her fail. he's seen her make mistakes. it doesn't matter because it isn't about what he expects of her, it's about who she is to him. minkowski is the commander, even when she's not. hera can do anything, even when she can't. eiffel values people, not their jobs. if hera didn't have a supercomputer for a brain, she would still be the same to him; it's who she is and her companionship that he wants. i'm not saying that what maxwell did for hera was useless - it's effective therapy that gave her a clearer understanding of herself, and a framework to understand what's been happening to her; that's extremely valuable. but that alone would not have been enough. what hera thinks of at the end of memoria, what actually pulls her through, is the support and care that eiffel and minkowski continually show to her.

Outfit still up for changes but uhm.

Lore under here. They feel like a cringey deviantart oc surneurje the killerrrr

During the first world war, the British navy struggled to protect itself from submarines. Project Cookie Cutter was started then, but was never finished in time. The team of scientists working on the creation took inspiration from their American allies, particularly the use of metal men. But as Colonel Walter refused to assist in the creation of a weapon, they were left to figure it out for themselves. Unable to recreate the same raw energy that powers Walter's robots, the project was shelved, but not for very long.

The second war came around and they found themselves yet again in need of much better navy weapons, and returned to project cookie cutter. This time around, the project took on new scientists, amongst them a woman born with the ability to harness blue matter. With her at the head of the team, Cookie Cutter was finally completed.

Cookie Cutter was designed with sharp teeth and a jaw that opens real fucking wide. Like a cookie cutter shark, it would latch onto enemy submarines and chew right through them from the outside, flooding them. A machine designed to kill and taught that this was its only purpose. Their creator intended for them to be an unfeeling weapon, a cold killer, and any signs of sentience or feeling was seen as a malfunction. After countless attempted repairs and upgrades, Cookie Cutter came to resent itself for these feelings. It isn't supposed to be this way, it's an unfeeling machine, not an overly emotional human. It learned to ignore its feelings and carry out orders thoughtlessly.

After the war ended it was taken home by its creator. The coming years are what Cookie Cutter considers its worst, shark hates feeling useless, it was built with a purpose and now it is nothing. Craving a meaning to its existence, after a few years of not knowing what to do with themself it came back to its roots, becoming a fucking hitman.

Sorry I got tired writing and am now unserious about it ZuIRNEJEB uhm. Yeah. It's a hitshark... the killerrrrr.

At its core it's a very sensitive and caring person, but due to shark's upbringing and training has been conditioned to suppress everything all the time forever and feel extremely ashamed of their feelings. Womp womp. Real dork loser nerds will see which character inspired shark normal people dont worry ❤ yay ❤

The Prom Incident: Part 2

(Just outside the gymnasium, on level 6)

*Uzi, N, and Hot Rod arrive at the entrance to the gym, finding Chase and a few other Elite Guardsmen trying to get in.*

Guard 1: “What genius thought it was a great idea to make the gym lockable only from inside!?”

Hot Rod: “Aren’t you supposed to be in training?”

Chase: “Uzi. Hot Rod. …N. I’ll be brief. There’s a situation in the gym.”

Uzi: “Well, duh. That’s why we’re here.” 

Chase: “…I’ll ask for details later. I’m assuming you know about V and Lizzy–.”

N, Uzi, Hot Rod: “Yes.”

Chase: “Good. Strongarm has given us permission to engage Them and any other accomplices, and Wheeljack has given us experimental ammunition that he believes will help us solve this crisis”

Guard 2: *to N* “Hey murder bot, you got any bolt cutters or something?” 

*Something is then thrown into one of the gym doors from inside, hitting hard enough to distort the door and cause it to fall on top of the talking guardsman. This is followed by a crush of WDs and some HDs fleeing the room. Some are missing limbs, with those that have lost legs– including Warpath, who’s swearing like a sailor –being carried out by others, but all of them seem terrified.*

Braiden: *Head on fire again, passing as the fleeing crowd thins* “Worst! Prom! Ever!”

*Once enough of the crowd passes and flees, Uzi, N, Chase, and Hot Rod see what blew the door off…”

Hot Rod: *Quiet, horrified* “…Sunstreaker?”

*Atop the broken door (and an Elite Guardsman) was the corpse of his semi-narcissistic classmate, but his yellow paint job was quickly turning light shade of gray. Hot Rod had heard of aggressive depigmentation before, back when he was in elementary school, and there was only one reason for such a thing to happen.

*Namely, death.

*The cause of this was, fortunately, quite obvious. Of course, that’s not saying much: a bunch of cleavers embedded into a Heavy Drone’s chassis (including one into his core and another into his visor, meaning his orange eyes weren’t rendering) leaves quite a bit of room for interpretation.*

Uzi: *to N, mildly concerned* “Do your sisters… have disposable melee weapons? Ones you can create a lot of in a very short time?”

N: “N-no. G might be able to, but I’m not sure.”

*The trapped guardsman pushes the door and corpse off of him, but is unable to stand.*

Guard 1: “I’ll take Dreadwing to the med-bay, I trust you and your friends can handle this.” 

*The guardsman-in-training simply nods. Chase then cranes his head to look inside, followed by his blog-mates, finding that Prom has devolved into absolute chaos, with some parts of the room on fire. Multiple HD and WD body parts are laying across the floor, oil and hydraulic fluid splattered across the walls. Oh, and V was fighting Doll, who was using what one who is familiar with a 3d modelling program can describe as program tools, but usable to wreak havoc.*

*The Russian speaking WD summons a cleaver knife and tosses it at V, removing her arm. She follows this up by removing the ceiling fan from its post.*

Uzi: “Holy crap, what is she doing?”

N: “This isn't what I expected at all! I guess we should–”

Chase: *flat and blunt* “NO.” 

*Doll throws the ceiling fan in V's direction like a frisbee, an attack that is narrowly dodged. V uses her remaining arm to deploy a plasma cannon and fire back.*

N: “But she’s–”

Chase: “I refuse to actively aid a criminal.”

Uzi: “Then why are you helping this guy?” *gestures to N*

Chase: *beat* “I refuse to aid a criminal who is not explicitly trying to reform.”

*With a swipe of her hand, Doll enforces a shield that protects her from V's blasts. She then uses her… abilities to force a pole through V’s midsection.*

Uzi: “Well, if she dies here, then she won’t get the chance to reform herself, will she?”

Chase: *ponders* “…valid enough.” 

*V pulls herself off the pole, and fires at Doll using a machine gun from her regenerated arm. The purple haired, red eyed Worker picks up the broken door and throws it at her opponent… only for N to stop the projectile. Uzi follows up by deploying her sword and trying to stab Doll directly in the face. The blade basically ricochets, though it leaves the Russian speaker’s visor cracked.*

Doll: *confused* “[Uzi, would you really side with the Murder Drones? I'm not the only one who's lost family to them.]”

Uzi: “Bite me! Whoever started this wants us to fight!”

Doll: “[Cute.]” *smiles as her eyes flash yellow for a split second* “[But I don’t need help.]”

*The emo shapeshifter’s eyes widen before narrowly avoiding impalement from another summoned pole. V lunges at Polina from the side, only for the latter to teleport out of the way, reappearing before N, who she engages in battle.*

V: “Hey, you’re the little shifter N told me about, aren’t you?”

Uzi: “Uh…” *She doesn’t know what to make of this* “…yes?” [[WTF is a shifter?]]

V: “Mmmm… You help me kill this purple-haired bitch and find Lizzy, and I don’t kill you. Deal?”

*After a moment, she nods. Chase and Hot Rod, meanwhile, are taking cover behind the bleacher, where they find Bumblebee, Blades, Rebecca, Thad, and Jazz hiding from the carnage.*

Bee: “Why is she even doing this?” *turns to the blue-haired WD* “Do you have any ideas?”

Rebecca: “How am I supposed to know? She and Liz never told me they were, like, basically witches!”

Thad: *terrified* “You’re her friend! Don’t friends know their friends better than other people!?”

Chase: “Do you have anything in regards to potential motivations?”

Bee: “Chase! Hot Rod! Great timing. Please tell me the Guard has a plan to stop this madness.”

Hot Rod: “We have… concepts of one?” *smiles sheepishly* “We honestly expected N’s sister to be the one driving the violence, not Doll.” 

Blades: *a mix of existential anxiety and sarcasm* “Great. Now we can all die together.” [[CALCULATING MOST PROBABLE DEITY TO PRAY TO]] 

Hot Rod: *to Bumblebee* “Any chance you brought your pistol with you?”

Bee: “N-no, that’s at home.” *beat* “How was I supposed to know Lizzy would–!?”

Jazz: “You didn’t. An’ I don’t think anyone here did.” 

Thad: “Is there a rule against taking guns off a deceased Elite Guardsman?” 

*Chase looks offended, and opens his mouth to speak, only for N to get thrown into the wall above them, coming down in segmented body parts* 

N: *reduced to a head and torso* “Hey guys, how’s it hanging?”

Rebecca: “Shut up.”

*Doll and Uzi continue their fight. A knife is thrown into the stereo, which Doll then takes to toss at Uzi again. Uzi jumps and arms herself with the microphone stand, which she kicks towards Doll. She stops the stand in mid-air. Uzi turns into her car mode and makes a tight turn towards her opponent. The stand is thrown back at her, causing her to overturn. Doll summons a dozen cleaver knives and flings them towards V, who is circling her near the ceiling like a vulture. She flies semi-gracefully between them, before unleashing her plasma cannon on Polina once more.* 

*She teleports out of the way, only to be on the receiving end of a flying tackle from behind, courtesy of a reconstituted N.*

*As the 3v1 continues, with those involved moving in a way one could describe as some sort of dance, Chase is looking for the opportunity to end this situation once and for all. Loading his pistol with the magnesium rounds Wheeljack gave him, he waits. Eventually, Doll is knocked to the floor with a flying kick to the head by Uzi, at which point the Elite Guardsman in training opens fire on the perpetrator. To his dismay, Polina uses her abilities to stop most of them before they hit her…*

*…And then she redirects them towards V, who was preparing to shoot the purple-haired WD in the head.*

*As soon as the bullets hit, the female Disassembler’s insides are set on fire, flames shooting out of the holes where they hit. The sensation of suddenly having their insides lit ablaze causes V to fall to the oil-splattered, corpse-ridden floor, screaming in agony.*

N: “V!!!” *Flies over to his teammate/little sister* ohmygod pleasedontdiepleasedontdiepleasedontdie–”

*He finds her convulsing on the floor in unspeakable pain, as her red dress burns off and her visor is glitching uncontrollably. Her pained screams are similarly increasingly distorted with static.* 

V: [N– N, I-I’m sorry it hurts so much N help me help me please help I don’t wanna die please help me]

*Doll stands up and prepares to finish the job, only for Uzi to throw a table at her. Hitting the floor, the purple and black shapeshifter pounces, and the two start brawling.*

Doll: *whilst she and Uzi’s fight devolves into a punching match* “[Do you not feel remorse?]”

Uzi: “More for N than you, you just killed half our grade! And for what!? Just to kill one of the disassemblers!?” 

Doll: “[You know not what is behind them–]” *moves her head to the side to avoid a stab* “[–what lies ahead for you if you continue down this path. The force behind the Disassemblers wants us gone, wants you and your kind gone. If we finish their pawns off now–]”

*Her opponent responds by punching Doll in the face hard enough to make another crack in her visor, before converting her legs into engines and pinning the Russian-speaking WD against the ceiling.*

Uzi: “Fuck off! They’ve only been cooperative since the breach, and they’re just as much in the dark about the bigger picture as we are. I'm not dealing with anything well, but I'm done dealing with everything alone. We move forward together, or not at all.”

Doll: “[Did they not kill your mother? Did he–]” *gestures to N* “[–not try to kill you? Or are you too focused on finding yourself to care?]”

*This causes Uzi to freeze up for a brief moment. Doll uses her opponent's distraction to try dismembering the emo shapeshifter with her powers…*

*…only for her right eye to be shot out, causing her to leak… blood? A brief glance down below sees Bumblebee holding a EG-standard pistol, moments before bolting for cover. Doll attempts to pick up the ceiling fan on the gym floor to bisect the yellow HD, but all this results in is a panicked Uzi’s right hand and forearm transforming into an upgraded version of her Sick As Hell Railgun, immediately charging up to fire. Doll only has enough time to widen her remaining eye in surprise/horror before teleporting back on the ground behind the bleachers–*

*–and immediately gets shot in the head by Chase, with a normal round.* 

*It takes a moment for things to settle down. Jazz, Thad, Blades, Bee, and Rebecca stare at Polina’s “corpse” with horror, especially in the latter’s case.*  

Jazz: “Is it over?”

Uzi: *lands* “H-how did I do that!? And why am I all sweaty? Who programmed that!?”

Thad: *runs over* “Uzi, you ok?”

Uzi: “Wasn’t expecting to shoot the place up, but yeah, I’m fine!” *an eyelid on her visor twitches as she finishes, before she looks in the direction of N and V, the former cradling the latter* “…Not sure about everyone else…”

[hidefdoritos]

So, for Christmas break, I've been staying with a very considerate older couple. When I got here, I found out that they're also...comfortably wealthy. I wish I could have been live-blogging my stay here, but this summary post will have to suffice.

MOSS'S MUSINGS: HOUSEGUEST EDITION.

-Ask which dishes you are allowed to use. I didn't know this would even be a question--I grew up with one set of dishes--but it matters. The dishes we've been using are red with snowmen on them. Tonight I put my soup in a red bowl with Christmas trees around the edge. That was wrong and bad. I have been told that they "prefer I not use that" because it is "for special occasions," and was told to "set it aside so I can hand-wash it." Side note, rich people also own things that can't go in the dishwasher. Thankfully they told me about this ahead of time.

-In general, they make requests when they mean to give you instructions. "I'm having some ladies over tonight, so if you'd like to clean the bathroom, that would be fine." = I, Moss, need to clean the bathroom before I leave for work this morning. They're secret instructions--instructions in a suggestion-shaped suit. I like to think of it as a secret code that I'm very smart for solving. It helps me to not tear my hair out.

-House thing that shook me to the core: They have heat vents on the floors under the sinks! So you can wash your hands or wash dishes and your feets don't get cold!

-Speaking of heat: heated mattress pads exist! It's like a heating pad for your whole body. High settings are nice for muscle aches; low settings are so cozy to sleep on.

-Speaking of mattresses: The guest room has a Sleep Number mattress. I think it's a scam. It's a balloon under your mattress to adjust the firmness/softness. I am 240 lbs. If it isn't over half inflated, my butt's on the bedframe.

-They are weird about trash. All food waste is handled separately and taken straight to the bin in the garage so it doesn't smell. The kitchen trash can lid has a motion sensor. It's automatic. Scared the daylights out of me when I first walked past it to get water at night.

-Speaking of water, ask what water you should use. Tap is not acceptable to some! My hosts have a fridge dispenser. Unfortunately it dispenses cold water. I have worked around this by getting water in advance of my needs and letting it change toward room temp. Also, you can't put drinks on the furniture! Wood is different from the plastic-coated OSB furniture that I grew up with. I must remember now to use coasters because any spills or drips can leave white marks.

-When they start discussing money, try not to let your mouth drop open at the amount of zeroes. One host bought a new car and was bragging to me about how he only paid $28,000, and that was actually $5,000 off for having a certain type of credit card. I just worked the mental math for the discount percentage to keep my brain from exploding. $5k is more than I paid for my entire car. My family motto is "Buy used and drive it 'til the wheels fall off." I did not say so.

-Most importantly, they've been extremely kind and generous to me. They dropped my rent for the month down to almost nothing. They bought any groceries I expressed interest in. I'm going back to campus with some of the best homemade soup of my life, and a coupon for an oil change, and a new appreciation for dark chocolate almonds. When I got here, my hostess had set up a desk for my sewing machine in her sewing room (!! a whole room for sewing!!) and taught me to use a rotary cutter and an iron that's entirely too complex.

tl;dr rich-ish people are super weird about some things you wouldn't expect, and your head will explode a few times, but they're still people and my overall experience has been great.



[toaster-boi]

the more i watch Murder Drones, the more the Disassembly Drones' designs make practical sense, especially the weapons.

of the six (seven counting the nanite stinger) weapons the DDs have at their disposal, only two are actually suited to taking out large numbers of defenseless workers: the beam cutter and missile launcher. however, their on-demand arsenal starts to make more sense if you think of it less as a crowd-clearing method, and more as a hard counter to Zombie Drones.

three different types of melee cutting weapons (claws, swords, chainsaws) for temporarily dismembering, allowing a DD to properly neutralize the Solver-infected core. one ranged cutting weapon (beam cutters) in case the target is outside of Rip And Tearing range. two projectile weapons (submachine guns and missile launchers) for mobile targets that might be able to dodge the other weapons.

and finally, the nanite stinger, which burns faster than Solver-infected drones can regenerate, and is likely the most effective for disabling cores, since it closely resembles the Disassembler machine's spear from the VHS tape in Home.

on top of that, almost all of the DD's biggest weakpoints (legs, wings) are heavily reinforced, but light enough for the drones to remain hyper-mobile.

and considering that it was nanite acid that (for the most part) killed Nori, it lends into the theory that she went full Zombie Drone.

A Core Cutter Machine is more than just equipment; it’s an investment in your business’s efficiency, quality, and profitability.

[mortarmagic]

Creating a granite washbasin involves a series of steps that transform raw granite into a polished and functional sink. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1. Material Selection

Granite Slab Selection: Choose a high-quality granite slab based on desired color, pattern, and durability. The slab should be free of cracks and flaws.

Thickness: Ensure the slab is of appropriate thickness for durability and aesthetics (usually 2-3 cm).

2. Design Planning

Shape and Size: Decide on the washbasin's shape (round, rectangular, oval, or custom) and dimensions.

Template Creation: Use a paper or wooden template to outline the sink's shape on the granite.

3. Cutting

Rough Cutting: Use a diamond saw or water jet cutter to cut the granite slab according to the template.

Sink Hole: If the design includes a built-in sink, use a core drill to create the drain hole.

4. Shaping

Edge Shaping: Carve the edges of the washbasin using hand tools, grinders, or CNC machines, depending on the design.

Inner Contouring: For recessed sinks, shape the inner bowl area with precision tools.

5. Smoothing

Use diamond-grit abrasives to smooth the surface and remove tool marks. Start with coarse grits and progress to finer ones for a uniform finish.

6. Polishing

Surface Polishing: Polish the surface using a granite polishing pad and polishing compound to achieve a glossy or matte finish.

Edge Polishing: Ensure all visible edges are polished to match the surface finish.

7. Drilling and Finishing

Drill holes for faucets or other fittings if needed.

Smooth and polish these areas to avoid rough edges.

8. Sealing

Apply a high-quality granite sealer to protect the stone from water, stains, and scratches.

9. Quality Check

Inspect the washbasin for imperfections such as cracks, uneven polishing, or irregular shapes.

Test the drainage and fitting compatibility.

10. Packaging and Installation

Carefully package the washbasin to avoid damage during transport.

During installation, ensure the basin is securely mounted and properly sealed.

Sorry to bother you, my wife and I are working on making a Leonardo Da Vinci Caster cosplay for her and it's our first cosplay (I'm hoping to do a Warframe one eventually, but actual cloth costumes first)- do you have any advice on how to do details, etc? We seem to have the general shape of things down and already have the cloak & skirts done.

Ooh, Da Vinci! I'd say I'm still winging it with the fabric stuff; my experience is mostly with armor and props. If by details you mean stuff like the applique or something...

I did this for my sister a couple years back. Zhongli cosplay. Made pattern, cut fabric, applied clear nail polish to edges, pinned to base garment, used one of the buttonhole stitch settings on my sewing machine for the edges. I was improvising then. Something similar would probably be done on the stocking details, but I have no experience with stretchy fabric yet.

For the curvy edges... just. Lots of pins so they hold the shape while sewing.

The star patterns on the blue fabric... If it were me I'd just use a stencil and fabric paint if there's nowhere to buy it from. Several layers of it so the yellow looks good. However, the pattern might be generic enough that you can get fabric already printed with it somewhere.

The small accessories hanging from the collar (and hat depending on Ascension level)... small chains with gems... I'm not sure about your access to supplies so you might or might not have to make the gems and stuff yourself. Usually for these I use those rigid PVC sheets. Cut and whittle with cutters as needed. Maybe something like foam clay or resin stuff if you wanna be fancy. Put some thin wire hoops to attach them to the chains. Or you could use EVA foam here as well. 2mm. Also works with the fleur-de-lis looking brooch.

If Props:

Speaking of EVA foam... 5mm and 2mm thickness should cover all kinds of needs in this case. PVC piping for the staff. at this scale (and in most situations), contact cement for gluing together. Measure to proportion, make patterns, trace onto foam, cut with cutters. Make sure the blades are sharp for the smoothest cuts.

You can do a lot of stuff with EVA foam. So much stuff. If you plan on using it more in the future, I suggest getting a heat gun. Smooths out the foam. Priming before painting... I live in Japan so I use something like Zeque... rubber paint similar to Plastidip but much cheaper. For something much easier to get... Wood glue diluted with water, 3-4 coats of it or until satisfactory. Thin layers. Let previous layer dry before next one. This one's not flexible though - if the foam bends, wrinkles can't be avoided.

If Gauntlet:

5mm foam would probably be enough for the base gauntlet... or anything, really. Maybe 2mm foam for the smaller details. The gold filigree and trim detailing on the gauntlet... I'd paint them on. Paint those parts of the gauntlet gold first, have a pattern ready cut from some sticker paper of the details, put those on, paint the rest of the gauntlet. Once the dark blue paint dries, you can remove the sticker paper mask. The green bits... EVA foam as well, the final coat of paint would have to be something very glossy for the shine.

I'm not sure how you want to do the gauntlet. Will you keep the proportions, a.k.a. very big, or shrink it to fit the wearer's hand? Building it to proportion is more complicated - need to build a rig first that's fixed to the wearer's hand with something flexible for the core of the gauntlet digits, and string to pull the gauntlet digits. And since you'd hold the staff with the same hand, your hand has to be outside for the grip. Should be okay if the gauntlet digits are big enough to cover them.

If Staff:

The more organic-looking bits of the staff... I'd use foam clay, but if you think you can do it with just EVA foam, do that instead. Not sure how expensive foam clay is for you. Change your cutting angle to make sloped edges, trim with scissors - whatever works.

For ease of transport you may need to plan on splitting the staff in parts. Maybe the star, then the handle, then the bottom tip? Attachment might be complicated, so you may not want them detachable as well.

Clear plastic acetate for the star. This one's complicated. Hot glue could work. Lots of triangles. I'll just look this up if it were me. Don't be pressured to make this glow.

Not sure what else I can say about this unless you ask for something very specific, but I wish y'all well in this project!

Battle Results

After a hard fought abyss run, Collei sits on the grass staring at her calloused fingers, the sting of drawing her bowstring still tingling through them. Things hadn’t gone exactly as she hoped. Her self assessment was cut short when the sudden feeling of a cold bandage touching her cut cheek snapped her back to reality.

Aether:You still with us?

Collei:Huh? Yeah, thanks.

Aether:That didn’t inspire confidence. What’s wrong?

Collei:It’s a little silly but I wish we got all the stars. I guess I’m still lacking?

Keqing:What? You were incredible. Aeonblight would’ve been disastrous without you. You never missed an opening.

Collei:I missed three.

Kokomi:That’s an achievement in the heat of battle. No archer makes all their shots.

Aether:Except Ganyu. She cheats.

The half Adeptus overheard the jab, but couldn’t find it in herself to argue when she literally lead her group through the hydro mimic chamber with many shots aimed at the floor.

Keqing:Thirty three stars is still impressive. If anyone here is lacking then it’s me. Our teamwork is refined, but regrettably my strength is… limited.

Collei:Don’t say that! I could be hitting much harder! You also didn’t have Jade Cutter!

Keqing:Ah yes, if only had that. Then maybe I could give a certain someone more time! *turns head*

Nilou was laying in the shallow end of the water with the mentioned sword still in hand. She sat up, seeing her abyss mate pouting.

Nilou:I don’t want to sound dramatic but I’m pretty sure without this sword we wouldn’t have completed our own battles.

Aether:Any major hassles?

Nahida:Every beast treated me like a chew toy! If it wasn’t the consecrated then it was the summons by the Emerites! I’m pretty sure the bountiful cores knocked me out for a second as well.

Yaoyao:Serpent Knights are scary!

Barbara:Nahida did in fact pass out for a second. Funny enough, the easiest part were the triple kenki. Even if the floor was ice…

Nilou:Cheer up everyone. We did well for a first attempt. Things just got a little…scary.

Yaoyao:She cried.

Nilou:I was almost one shot! That doesn’t happen normally!

Aether:We’re missing a star from each chamber. Personally, I can live with that.

Collei:I want to try one more time! *stands up*

Keqing:Same here!

Aether:How much time were we short?

Kokomi:We are forty seconds behind in each chamber.

Keqing and Collei immediately sit back down. Well oiled machine or not, they weren’t magically about to jump that hurdle.

Aether:So, lunch?

Keqing and Collei:Fiiiiiine.

𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 (also known as core drills) offer significant advantages over traditional twist drills, especially for working with steel and other hard metals. They cut only the perimeter of the hole, leaving a solid core, which leads to:

holes with less burr.

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 offers TCT cutters for larger diameters (over 50mm) and specialized applications like rail drilling (up to 36mm) and the PRO-200 ATEX machine (200mm TCT cutter).
