★ amethyst ; poly!marauders.
info: fluff, poly!marauders x gn!reader, under 1k.
Tumblr media
there's a slight burn to your scalp as you apply more bleach to the small chunks of your hair, all sectioned into four neat squares to make the process easier.
your gloved hands squeak as you continuously clamp and unclamp your fingers over your locks, rubbing in the solution to get your hair to the light blonde you desire but it becomes increasingly difficult as you reach the back of your head.
"whatcha' doing, dolly?" sirius chirps, head popping past the door frame to get a good look at your odd stature: one foot on the lid of the toilet, the other planted firmly on the tiled floor as you attempt to get the last strand towards the base of your skull.
"can you see if i got the roots towards the back?" voice huffing in frustration as you scratch your burning scalp.
sirius coos teasingly, kissing at your clean temple when you pout. "you missed a couple spots. got any extra gloves?" his voice softer than before with a sickly sweet expression that makes your brain all gooey and melty.
you nod dumbly, handing him a pair of black latex gloves and practically purr as he gently scratches at your scalp, ceasing all itching and burning with his magic touch.
"are the boys back too?" you ask, already hearing the two pairs of socked footsteps thud against the hardwood floors. you've got your answer.
"hi, sweetness!" james pipes up, head peeking round the corner alongside remus'.
you smile, lazily reaching for them but not enough to disturb sirius who's hard at work. "what color are we going for today, dovey?" remus asks with curiosity, grin matching yours as he rushes to grasp at your hand.
"not sure... i have two different colors but i need your help deciding," your lips tucked into an adorable pucker as you mull over which color to go with.
two boxes lay on the countertop, pink and purple hair dye that are basically close in color but completely different vibes. you glance over to the boys, more so at sirius due to the fact that he's the best styled out of the bunch.
"i think i'm leaning more towards purple but i asked marls and she said pink so now my brain's all in a twist..." you pout slightly.
silence falls, the only thing being heard is your phone playing music. sirius is the first to speak, "i think you should stick to purple, doll."
then a flurry of agreements can be heard from both remus and james as if they were waiting for sirius' opinion before speaking upon their own.
"agreed, purple suits your skin tone!" james speaks as if he's just happy to be here, starry-eyed with a dopey grin to match.
remus nods along with james, "and it doesn't seem like it's a royal purple, it's more of an amethyst. i think you'll look extra pretty, dove."
you flush pink, "purple's the way to go then," soft giggle bubbling past your throat.

Losing his spark: Cayde-6 x Solar Guardian reader
Tumblr media
so, my first actual full fic. Don't get your hopes up, I've no idea if this is any good or makes any sense, tried to keep it as in character as possible. It's barely proofread and I'm only like 4 hours sleep so excuse any typos but fingers crossed it all makes some sense.
as always, have a good day lovlies and I hope you enjoy xoxox
WARNINGS: Death, injury detail, angst and violence under the cut, if you can't handle these please scroll away, I promise I'll write something fluffy and sweet.
Well, this wasn't going as expected.
Cayde and yourself had been trusted with what was supposed to be a simple in and out mission. Into the cabal stronghold, grab the intel (maybe shoot a few bad guys and look good doing it) then back to the tower in time for some piping hot ramen. His plan was flawless. or as you had called it "winging it".
Praise was reserved for quiet moments, whispers about how you were his favourite, how he had never seen such a bright solar spark in all his years at the tower, just so he could watch the blush bloom onto your cheeks and your smile. Oh, your smile, he would set aside what little pride and dignity he had to see it just once. You could point at any star in the night sky and if you asked, he would retrieve it for you. If only he had the guts to tell you this. He would eventually. He had plans, a clear summer night, hot ramen, something strong to drink with a nice kick. Just the two of you.
Well, you had always been overly cautious, but it worked surprisingly well for the pair of you. Cayde, the man with the plan and a slightly headstrong attitude and you, cautious and always with 6 back up plans. That's what he loved about you, of course, he wouldn't say that out loud, no, he had a reputation to maintain.
The mission was going well. the pair of you had crept into the cabal's stronghold unseen. Suspiciously easy. That's when all hell broke loose. The plan was lock tight. They shouldn't have known you were there but now both of you were up shit creek without a paddle...or a boat...or a life jacket. Someone must have tipped them off. Legionaries, phalanxes, gladiators, centurions, and war beasts surged out of every doorway and corridor. It was nothing either of you couldn't handle.
He thought.
As bullets flew the pair of you slowly drifted apart, swamped by cabal, the well-oiled machine the pair of you were when fighting started to rust. Soon you were just a distant blur of solar energy. His little firefly, his solar flare. He couldn't stand and watch though, as shot after shot was fired from his trusty hand cannon into the swam of red.
The ambush was thinning, he knew the pair of you would pull through you always did.
Then he felt it.
As if a part of his own light was ripped from his very being. A tidal wave that rocked the whole room, he had to catch himself from being thrown against the wall as the pure light that surged through the area bowled him over, knocking the wind out of him. No. Not you.
The red tide didn't stop, but the surprise of the explosion gave him the perfect window to see the despair as your ghosts shattered shell, lightless, scattered across the floor. The scream trapped in your throat as the gladiator speared you onto its cabal serverus blade, the stench of searing flesh permeating the air, the way your legs buckled, and body thudded against the floor as the gladiator kicked you off its blade.
The war beast that clamped down onto his left arm causing him to drop his hand cannon was first to feel his retribution. Snapping out of his trance he grits his teeth, throwing the war beast with such force it dented the steel wall behind him and grabbing ace he reloads and unleashes hell. Shot after shot echoed over the roaring screams of the cabal. Bones crunched, tendons snapped and popped until all that was left was the gladiator, your body at its feet in a gasping crumpled mess.
Cayde saw red. He doesn't know how many rounds he pumped into the gladiator. He doesn't remember ripping its jaw apart as he screams in pure unbridled anger. He doesn’t remember being beating it into a bloody unrecognisable mess.
The red tide was now a red sea. Cayde had spilt enough blood in his lifetime, and he would spill more in future. But now wasn't the time to dwell on his crimson-stained past.
It was Sundance who snapped him out of his anger, his body tense, chest heaving. "Cayde....they need you" Sundance says quietly.
Cayde is at your side in an instant, hand barely able to cover the ragged wound in your abdomen as he pulls you onto his lap. "No no no no no" he mumbles his hand instantly soaked in your blood. You had always been a paragon of strength, the pair of you often rough and tumbling in the tower, sparring in the training room, but now in his arms you felt fragile, body trembling as you gulped for air.
"h-hey" you rasped weakly a pained smile on your face. "We...we sure showed them."
He choked on his words "Yeah, we sure did”.
"I’m sorry"
Why were you apologising? You shouldn't be apologising. He should have been beside you; he should have been better; he should have done more. It should have been him. His thoughts fly a million miles an hour.
"Don't you dare apologise" he rasps, his voice synthesiser becoming more staticky.
"I'm sorry we couldn't have been more" you whisper, his hands stroke your hair as he rocks you gently.
"Wasn’t supposed to be like this. Was supposed to take you back home, treat you real nice" he growls in frustration. He couldnt loose you, not now. Not after there was so much he wanted to do, so many words left unsaid. He had saved so many cheesy pick up plines, so many date ideas, crimson day, festival of the lost, the dawning festival.
He had plans for every single one with you beside him. He removes your helmet, if he was going to say this if he was going to hold you in your final moments, he wanted to see those eyes he loved so much. the ones he would think about late at night, the ones he longed to see when he would turn in bed to the emptiness of cold sheets. Sheets that would remain cold. That would never see your warmth.
"Oh yeah? tell…Tell me about it" You begin to cough, and his arms tighten around you, he can feel the visceral rattling gurgle that accompanies each breath and he knows it will haunt him.
"Was gonna take you to that ramen spot in the city, you know, the really nice one in the city, has the pretty lanterns outside? yeah, I’d get you whatever you wanted, on me, really spoil you. Then I’d take you to our spot-"
"That little overlook on the city wall?" your voice, quiet and scratchy barely reaches his audio receptors.
He nods smiling through the pain to keep you relaxed, he had time to scream and shout and cry later, right now you were the only important thing "that's the one. Bring with us a little something to drink and watch the sunset. Maybe we would have a little slow dance under the stars. Always said I’d take you dancing one day didn't I?" the static in his voice was becoming more prominent as he had to force the words out, willing his body to stop trembling, trying to comfort you.
“Sounds nice”
“Then I'd tell you everything, everything I should have told you months ago” he mumbles burring his face in your hair, if he could cry he's sure he would be in floods, just another reason he despised his exo body.
“It's okay, I knew”.
“You knew?”
You weakly nod and struggle to put on a smile, bloody lips barely managing to up turn, your face was pale. You were fading fast, trickling through his fingers like sand and no matter how hard he tried it was like trying to catch water with a siv. “Always knew. I love you to”.
He can feel your faint heartbeat getting harder and harder to pick up under his blood-soaked fingers.
“I love you”.
Sundance didn’t have the heart to tell him they were already gone before he said those three words. She wasn’t ever going to tell him.
You knew.
You had always known.
Traveler help the poor bastard who tipped off the cabal about their arrival. Because no force within the known galaxy could protect them from Cayde-6

I thought I could show you all a bit more details of my DIY monitor mounting arm. When I originally posted it I didn’t really show much detail. It’s also changed a lot since the first post.
I first built it in February. It was my first fabrication project I’ve ever done. By fabrication I mean design, and building. Building it took a lot of welding and machining. I have formal training in both welding and machining now but at the time I only had training in welding. The welder I used is a harbor freight Titanium Easy Flux 125. It’s a gas-less MIG machine so it’s a flux core wire feed machine. I also can stick weld which I actually find more fun but my stick welder doesn’t have enough power to weld this stuff. The main frame parts are made from 1 inch square steel tube. All the adjustment parts are made from 1/4 inch mild steel plate, 3/4 round mild steel, and 5/16-18 Socket Head Cap Screws. It mounts to my bed with clamps that come from my background in the entertainment industry where they are usually used to mount lighting instruments to pipes. All the machining was done on my vertical knee milling machine that has a 2 axis prototrack plus CNC system installed on it. At the time I was not trained in CNC so everything was done with the machine manually, now I’m trained in CNC.
The monitor mounts to the arm via 2 tapered pins that go into the bottom of all the Intellivue monitors. To get the proper taper I measured it with taper gauges. Usually a round part with a taper would be done on a lathe but I don’t own a lathe so I had to get creative. You can use a milling machine as a lathe so I mounted the round stock in the spindle with a collet. To get the proper taper was a whole different ball game. To get the proper taper I ended up having to come up with a complex equation to set the power feeds on my machine to the right speed to cut the taper.
For a while the mounting plate was mounted directly to the mounting arm because it worked perfectly for the MP5. When I got the MP50 I found it had feet on the bottom that stuck out and didn’t allow the monitor to swivel all the way around. To move the monitor you would also have to push the monitor itself and there was nothing to grab onto to make that easy. So I did a modification and I added a piece of pipe as a spacer so the feet would clear and swivel all the way around. I also ended up making a handle to grab to move the arm and to swivel the monitor out of a piece of 1/4in stainless steel round stock which I heated with a torch and bent.
Originally I made a little steel wire basket that my MP2 used to sit in but after a while I realized how ugly it was so I removed it and built the totally over engineered mount that my X2 sits inside of now. The mount is made out of solid machined 6061 aluminum. I made it after receiving training in both manual and CNC machining. To build it I actually went with all manual machining because I wanted to have fun and just make up a design as I went along. It’s made of 3 pieces. The back is a piece of aluminum C channel that I milled down so the walls were 90 degrees to each other. The rest of it was made from a piece of aluminum plate I had laying around. The locking screws are just 1/4-20 socket head cap screws with a 3d printed knob on them.
When I took the wire basket off I made some aluminum hooks which I mounted with the same screw holes the wire basket used. I also made some wire clamps out of some mild steel to hold the power cable and the Ethernet cable a couple months ago. Today I zip tied the MSL cable to the power cable. The whole arm is hight adjustable but I never use the hight adjustment. The whole thing got a white paint job a few weeks ago although I used really cheap spray paint so it’s worn through in a lot of spots.
The whole thing was designed so that I can just loosen the clamps and take it off the bed if I have people in my room that don’t know about my fetishes.
I was looking at some used monitor arms on eBay last week and then I remembered that my arm can actually be easily stowed away. It’s definitely not a project within most people’s reach due the tools, material and time required. I have at least 20 or 30 hours in building the arm and I’ll probably continue to upgrade it as I think of things to add.

Essential Tips and Techniques for Using Holesaw Cutters
Tumblr media
Have you ever found yourself needing to make a precise hole in wood, metal, or plastic, but you weren’t sure how to do it efficiently? A holesaw cutter might be the tool you need! But how do you use it properly? What are the best techniques for getting clean, accurate cuts? In this article, we’ll explore essential tips and techniques for using holesaw cutters to help you achieve great results in your projects.
A holesaw cutter is a tool designed to cut large, round holes in various materials. Unlike a regular drill bit, which only makes small holes, a holesaw cutter has a circular blade that lets you cut through larger areas. Mostly used in woodworking, metalworking, and DIY projects. Understanding how to use a holesaw cutter effectively can save you time, effort, and frustration. Let’s dive into some straightforward tips and techniques to get the most out of this handy tool.
1. Choose the Right Size
Before you start cutting, it’s crucial to select the correct size of the holesaw cutter for your project. Holesaw cutters come in various diameters, so pick one that matches the size of the hole you need. For example, if you need a hole for a pipe, choose a holesaw cutter with a diameter slightly larger than the pipe’s diameter to ensure a proper fit.
2. Use the Correct Drill
Holesaw cutters are designed to be used with a power drill. Ensure that the drill you use has enough power to handle the cutter, especially if you’re working with tough materials like metal. A drill with adjustable speed settings is also useful, as it allows you to control the cutting speed based on the material you’re working with.
3. Mark Your Cutting Area
Before you begin cutting, mark the center of the hole you want to make. Use a pencil or marker to draw a small dot or circle where you want the hole to be. This guide will help you position the holesaw cutter accurately and prevent it from slipping or wandering off course.
4. Secure the Material
To get a clean and precise cut, it’s important to secure the material you’re working on. If the material is not firmly held in place, it may move during cutting, resulting in an uneven hole. Use clamps or a vise to secure the material to your work surface. For large pieces, consider asking someone to help you hold the material steady.
5. Start with a Slow Speed
 When begin to cut, start with a slow drill speed. This will help you maintain control and reduce the risk of overheating the holesaw cutter. As the cutter starts to bite into the material, you can gradually increase the speed for smoother cutting. Avoid going too fast, as this can cause the cutter to overheat or dull quickly.
6. Apply Steady Pressure
Apply steady, even pressure while cutting. Pushing too hard can strain the drill and cause the holesaw cutter to become stuck or break. Let the cutter do the work and guide it gently through the material. If you encounter resistance, reduce the speed and check if the cutter is becoming clogged with debris.
7. Use Cutting Fluid
For tougher materials like metal, using a cutting fluid can help reduce friction and heat, which prolongs the life of the holesaw cutter and results in a cleaner cut. The cutting fluid has to be applied to the area being cut, and make sure to use it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
8. Clear Debris Regularly
As you cut, debris will accumulate inside the holesaw cutter. Stop and clear out the debris to prevent it from clogging the cutter and affecting the performance regularly. You can use a small brush or tap the cutter gently to remove the buildup.
9. Check for Wear and Tear
Inspect the holesaw cutter regularly for signs of wear and tear. If you notice that the teeth of the cutter are dull or damaged, it’s time to replace it. Using a worn-out cutter can result in rough cuts and may even damage your material.
10. Practice Safety
Safety should always be your top priority when using a holesaw cutter. Safety goggles protects your eyes from flying debris, and gloves helps to avoid any potential injuries so make sure to wear them. Ensure that your work area is clean and free of obstructions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Using a holesaw cutter can make creating large, precise holes in various materials much easier and more efficient. By following these essential tips and techniques, you’ll be able to achieve clean cuts and make the most of this versatile tool. Remember to choose the right size, secure your material, start slow, and prioritize safety. With a bit of practice and attention to detail, you’ll become skilled at using holesaw cutters and enhance the quality of your projects.

How To Make A Churchwarden Pipe Stem
The Churchwarden pipe stem is an important part of the Churchwarden pipe. Having a high-quality Churchwarden pipe stem will affect your smoking experience, so in this blog, we will take you to make a Churchwarden pipe stem. You must know that the Churchwarden pipe stem takes a very long time, and you need to invest a lot of energy in the production process, so I hope you read our blog carefully before making the pipe stem, which will help you to a great extent . So let’s get our tools ready and start making the Churchwarden pipe stem According to the material, there are two types: most cigarette holders are Vulcanite cigarette holders. This pipe stem is made of natural rubber and is vulcanized. But in the past 20 or 30 years, some pipe manufacturers began to equip their high-end pipe series with Acrylic cigarette holders. Although the cost is higher, it is not easy to oxidize and fade, which is an advantage that vulcanized hard rubber ( Vulcanite) does not have. On the other hand, synthetic resin has a harder taste, so some pipe smokers prefer the softer vulcanized hard rubber. However, there is a style called Cumberland pipe stem, which is becoming more and more popular in high- end pipe series. They are dark brown in color and dotted with stripes of black, red, and other colors, making them very noble and beautiful. There are two popular shapes of pipe stems on the market: One is Tapered - a simple streamlined shape with straight lines tapering to a sharp point. One is Saddle - the lines are relatively square for easier bite, and the bottom is "saddle-shaped". A pipe stem's opening primarily comes in two main types: the wide flat bore and the round bore. In some cases, there is a type of pipe stem with twin bores inside, commonly referred to as the "Twin-Bore" design. In addition, the composition of the pipe stem also includes Mounts: various hoops attached to the mouth of the bucket handle. Although the handle base is a decorative item, it also has a practical purpose: to protect the easily cracked handle opening. The handle base can be made of various base metals, but high-end pipes are usually made of silver, sometimes even gold (the most famous silver handle base is the British brand Ferndown, and Mr. Les Wood himself is a silversmith). The handle base can also be made of animal horns and various semi-precious stones. Here we use the Saddle design to make it. You only need to use a plane and file to start carving the shape of the pipe stem.Just use a plane and file to start carving the shape of the pipe stem. Once the carving is complete, you can start sanding the pipe stem using coarse sandpaper, then gradually transition to finer sandpaper to achieve a smooth surface. When our Churchwarden pipe stem shape is completed, we need to start drilling. Before starting, you need to prepare a drill press, and then Place the pipe stem blank in a vise or clamp, ensuring it is held firmly and securely. This will prevent any movement during the drilling process. Then Measure and mark the desired drilling point on the pipe stem blank. Start slowly. This can largely avoid cracks in the Churchwarden pipe stem, so we recommend using a drill speed of 750 rpm. In addition, we also need to apply a small amount of lubricant on the drill bit. This has the advantage of preventing the drill bit from overheating due to severe friction during drilling, causing the valve stem material to melt and causing production failure. After everything is completed, you only need to use tools to continue fine polishing, and a beautiful Churchwarden pipe stem is completed. Read the full article

DIY Hanging Copper Chandelier
Tumblr media
Project by Megan:
I love decorating for the holidays and always find myself exploring Pinterest for hours to get ideas. I happened upon an image of a gorgeous copper chandelier that felt like the perfect thing to light up a low-key holiday table. Inspired, I decided to figure out how to build it myself using supplies from my local hardware store, and the end result will last well beyond the holidays. To give this a little extra holiday flair, I cut a few short pieces of greenery and wired them to the base of the pipes. Simply remove the greens after the holiday to keep this look year-round. Ready to make one of your own? Keep reading for my step-by step guide, or to see this project take shape in real time, check out the how-to video on the One Kings Lane Style Blog! —Megan
Tumblr media
Here’s what you’ll need: • two 1/2” x 24” copper pipes • three 3/4” x 24” copper pipes • two ceiling hooks (not pictured) • a spool of rope or twine to hang (not pictured) • two 3/4” copper 90-degree elbows • four 1” to ¾” couplings • two ½” copper tees • two ¾” copper tees • two ¾” to 1/2” copper tees • a pipe cutter • J-B Weld two-part epoxy
Tumblr media
Prep the Pipes
To get started, I used a little rubbing alcohol on a paper towel to remove the manufacturer markings on the outside of the pipes.
Tumblr media
Measure and Cut
After I mapped out the measurements for the overall length and various arm heights of my chandelier (one of the best things about this project is it’s totally customizable), I used a permanent marker and a tape measure to mark the ¾” pipes at the desired lengths.
Tip: You can totally experiment with different lengths and configurations for the chandelier; just ensure that your candle flame is clear of the rope or twine you use to hang it.
Tumblr media
To cut the pipe, I clamped the pipe cutter around the copper, positioning the blade on the mark, and twisted it to make the cut. Tighten the blade every few turns until the pipe is cut. It might seem unlikely that this inexpensive little tool will actually do the job, but trust me, it works!
Tumblr media
Here’s My Cut List: -five ¾” x 6” pieces (to form the bottom edge to the chandelier) -two ¾” x 4” pieces (to form the middle 2 pillars) -two ¾” x 6” pieces (to form the outer 2 pillars) * The two ½” x 24” pipes don’t get cut.
Tip: Lay it out! I think it helps to see how all your cut pieces work together before you start to glue so you don’t get confused.
Tumblr media
Assemble and Glue
I used a special two-part epoxy designed for use with metal. It is super strong! I recommend only mixing a little bit at a time. I used a matchstick to mix the two parts together.
Tumblr media
I also used the matchstick to apply the glue to one end of the pipe. A little goes a long way, so don’t overdo it. If any glue does seep out after you glue two pieces together, just use a little rubbing alcohol to wipe it away.
Tip: Be sure to assemble your chandelier on a flat surface where the project can stay for a few hours while the glue dries.
Tumblr media
Finish and Hang
Once the glue is fully dry (about 4 hours), thread a length of rope or twine through the top of the chandelier and hang. I used a couple of ceiling hooks (the kind you use to hang plants) to secure my chandelier in place. To finish it off I added a few taper candles and the greenery. I found that regular taper candles fit perfectly into the openings, but you can always use a bit of aluminum foil around the bottom of the candle to help hold it in place.
