Animals! Brutal! They deserve no mercy. Strike them down! Follow them to their base and kill them, all of them!🔺I did not realize similarity was required for the exercise of compassion. They are afraid. We wish only to do what we can.
minvember prompt 3: crowd
#babylon 5#minvember 2023#minvember#delenn#lennier#minbari#i was gonna write a whole spiel in the tags about how delenn's compassion connects to her past mistakes and her desire to atone#but anyway delenn is a fascinating character flawed desperate to do good but carrying this terrible weight with her everywhere she goes#the fact that she often just gets reduced to 'awesome lady doing awesome things' is actually criminal#the original concept for this was much more brutal and was going to include ordinary civilians and the like#and more markab figures too#but i was like... im tired and this is taking forever#and i wanted to get it done before minvember started up again

hi I’m a very long time cosplayer (20+ years experience) who has chronic headache and migraine problems and this is a post about how to prevent your cosplay wigs from giving you painful headaches! Nobody likes wandering around the con in blinding pain and so hopefully this post will help you reduce the chances of this happening.
1. If your wig is way too tight, don’t use it. Get something with a bigger cap. tbh I often wear slightly too big wigs to reduce the pressure! Find out what brands and sellers sell wigs that are comfy on your head and prioritize buying wigs from them! I made a big master list of cosplay wig sellers a while back so here’s a few you might not have known about. Arda (and its Canadian and European sites) sells by far the biggest wigs, but I personally find Classe the most comfortable for my specific head. It’s all very YMMV and it’s totally possible for a wig to not actually be too small but fit your head in an uncomfortable way (Blue Beard on taobao does this to me every time), so just don’t buy from suppliers that do that. Also consider resizing wigs to be larger! For wig clients with extra large heads I like to nip the edge of the wig right behind the ear where your ear and hair from above will cover it and add in a little godet of elastic.
2. Reduce weight! A heavy wig will make head pain much more likely, so here’s a few tips on wig weight reduction!
A) if your wig doesn’t need a ton of volume and is already very dense, rip out some wefts in the bottom half. Anything on the part of your head from the ridge where your head starts going in towards your neck won’t really show unless your wig is very short and it’ll obviously reduce weight instantly! You can replace any missing volume with light crimping or light heat and tease, or leave the wig as is for a natural and silky look without the unnatural volume of a cosplay wig.
B) if you need more volume in your wig, instead of going straight to adding wefts for more volume, see first if combining crimping with heat and tease at the roots will give you the extra volume you need! Crimping or heat and tease adds volume and if you straight up destroy the fiber in the first two inches from the scalp by doing both repeatedly, it’ll add huge volume without you needing to add extra hair! When I do this I like to heat the fiber near the roots, tease it, let it cool, crimp the teased part, let THAT cool, and then brush it out. You can flat out double the perceived volume in the back of the wig this way!
C) if your character has a high ponytail or high pigtails, consider using clip on ponytails that you can easily remove if you need the weight off your head right the fuck now. here’s two tutorials I swear by for making a short wig + clip on combination look more natural! They’re in Japanese but easily comprehensible if you use machine translation thanks to the clear photography. They also help with spreading out the weight on the wig itself, and if your hair is long enough, using a clip on with a fishnet wig cap and clipping through the wig and into your real hair will also he lp make it more secure and distribute weight more evenly.
if your character has high pigtails
if your character has a high ponytail
D) when you need extra wefts, opt for sewing in wefts rather than gluing whenever possible. Glue doesn’t seem heavy but enough of it can make a wig get real heavy REAL fast.
E) redirecting the weight to your entire head and not just the front hairline will feel lighter and give you less forehead tension, which is one of the biggest causes of wig headache. Toupee clips sewn evenly around the edges and a Wig Fix https://therenatural.com (the name brand one, the knockoffs genuinely don’t work half as well) can help with doing this. A Wig Fix will also let you use fewer pins to keep your wig on, which is another cause of wig headache. Can’t suggest trying those enough. There are also some velvet wig grips out there but I find those don’t work quite as well, but they’re by far better than nothing.
3) make sure your wig is easy to remove. A lot of characters have horns or veils or other head things on top of the wig so make sure those can easily come off if you need a wig break! I’m a big proponent of using wig glue or double stick tape to glue strands (face framing layers etc) to your face for a more natural and more flattering look, but if you get headaches from wigs, keep that glue or tape in your bag so if you have to de-wig for a bit, you can get it back on!
4) take the ibuprofen or whatever BEFORE you put the wig on, and not when your wig is already making your head miserable! It’s like taking the ibuprofen before you wear the horrible shoes for a special event; it’s more effective in advance.
5) what are your normal headache triggers? Make sure you’re doing the work to EXTRA avoid them before wearing a cosplay wig. Stay hydrated. Keep up with your electrolytes. If you have any food triggers, make sure you’re managing them properly.
6) try multiple types of wig cap before deciding which ones to use! I’m a big fan of the fishnet kind because I’m in agony every time I try to use the stocking kind. Some people find relief in doing pin curls under their cap, and @/battleangelgif on twitter suggested doing this with damp hair the night before you wear the wig. There are tons of methods! Stretching out fishnet caps can be done more effectively when they’re slightly damp and that’ll make them pinch less. Experiment with what you like best to keep your irl hair in place and once you find a method you like, go for it! Make that your go-to!
7) always remember: wearing a short wig is less miserable than wearing a wig to your ankles. consider very carefully whether or not you can actually handle that wig that’s as long as you are tall. sometimes you just can’t and that’s okay! reduce the length of any super long haired character to hip length and it’ll be FINE. I swear. It’ll still read as super long and it won’t be as terrible.
8) always remember you can just. take the entire wig and cosplay off if you’re in agony. it’s not worth it. don’t do that to yourself. If the migraine hits anyway, just take it off.
Hope some of this might help you out! Focusing on reducing and redistributing weight is what helps me out the most 😌 feel free to reply or reblog or message with questions and I’ll try and get back to you ASAP!

Stability, affection, understanding and loyalty - hallmarks of the marriage between Nilfgaards ruling couple. Both beloved in their own right, they endear themselves even more to their people by offering them something that had not been seen in the Imperial palace for centuries: a stable - aspirational - partnership.
Emperor Consort Morvran Voorhis is to many- certainly to most Nilfgaardians - the greatest of our dear Empress' loves.

I've been struggling with my body image as I lose weight and get closer and closer to 40
My tummy hangs lower than it used to, partially because there's more loose skin and partially because. Well. Gravity.
My hips aren't as wide as they used to be. I need to buy a smaller bra. These are all changes that kind of make me sad. I loved my fat curves
Yesterday at cardiac rehab, I was walking laps, and on one wall there's a huge mirror, so for like a third of each lap I could watch myself approaching this mirror
And you know what? Yeah my body is a different shape than it was. But look how far I can walk now! And others are still passing me, but I'm faster than I used to be. Look at those strong thick thighs pumping as I stride! Look at how my waist is slimmer than it was!
It's different, but I'm getting used to it
It's different, but maybe it's good
#body image#weight loss#i will learn to love my body whatever size it is#we are working so hard to take care of each other#ask to tag#mod post#btw the slimmer waist is a thing to be happy about not because i am begter adhering to beauty standards#(tho that's a nice bonus)#but apparently less abdominal fat reduces the risk of heart disease. which is the whole reason i'm in#cardiac rehab

I fell hard on my right shin three days ago and it is SO swollen. Not even sore or visibly bruised? Just swollen like a balloon. What did I do???
#this has never happened to me#and I have injured my joints in many ways#putting weight on it doesn’t hurt#my mobility isn’t reduced#the skin isn’t broken#what did I DO

god. the absolute fauning terror written all over jamie when james stands back up after that punch....
#beebles#cw james tartt#jamie tartt#ted lasso#every time i think im done thinking about jamie tartt i see a clip of wembley#how many times do you think jamie stood up how many times do you think he got it twice as bad for it#is it his first time does he have any idea what's about to come is it better or worse if he's entirely unprepared#in a room full of people who hated him six months ago who are o throwing their bodily weight into standing beside and for him#standing up for himself to immediately be reduced to shaking smothered sobs in roy's arms....#Man. jsuds didn't know what to do with all that (jamie tartt) but I Do.

i’ve been staying up til like 2 am for the last few months due to stress and today is the first day i have finally felt relaxed and not worried. i was. however, up late playing animal crossing and watching drag race so.. i guess i stay losing
😞😞😞
#i’m not doing too well financially but idk i’m not super worried about it for some reason#the fact that i can see my hair regrowing gave me this weird sense of hope that#even if things look really really bad#there’s a chance things can change if you put the effort in#so next goal is to lose weight and reduce the massive amount of debt i put myself in these last few weeks

Not to be a trope purist but we're calling everything enemies to lovers these days. Like I'll see a book labelled enemies to lovers in some ya section and then it's like a dancers setting or an office romance. Like babes unless there are evil plots, genuine hatred and at least a slight intention to kill, then those are RIVALS to lovers at best. Which is a fine trope in and of itself but pls get it right I'm begging you I can't stand to see another bland and knife-to-the-throat-less romance be labelled as enemies to lovers I just can't
#*sabrina carpenter voice* please please please get it riiiiight#two dancers who kinda hate each other and have to go up against each other in The Big Competition is the definition of rivals to lovers lik#ITS NOT THAT HARD!!!#Rivals to lovers is a great trope!!! I love it!! but it is so distinctly different from enemies to lovers#enemies to lovers#rivals to lovers#I fear I'm being annoying about this but like come on#it's like!! there's so much gravitas and weight to the word enemy let's not reduce its meaning#enemies is a BIG fucking word we're not talking about that jock guy you hate here. we're talking maffia boss or supervillain#the word rival is right fucking there pls use it

hmmmm i wonder if i could make chainmail and line the inside of my jacket with it
#i mean like that would reduce the damge that one weapon could do to me which is already an improvement from none#ive been thinking about it for a while but expecially now its more important to be safe yk#and itd add some nice weight anyways#a most likely unnecessary modification but could be very helpful in a worst case scenario#sucks ass that america is the guns country not the knives one lol
