Where do you suggest getting used lockpicking tools and such? And locks?
Usually pawn shops are a good place to find cheap equipment to practice with. They’ve already been used, and probably won’t be picked up to be put back in the field, so it’s a good send off if you end up braking them.
#asks#general-that#chilchuck#chilchuck tims#chilchuck dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#chat pretends chilchuck is their dad#ooc: fun fact this is what you should do for building a tool box too#a lot of the tools you’ll find are the good quality ones that you can refeb and make last generations to come#for pennies compared to the expensive stuff you’ll find on shelves that’ll brake in a year or two#should always check thrift stores first when you can#when it’s not cheaper it’s often a better quality item hiding under some grime#then if you roll snake eyes go buy it new

thrifted a Mr. Tickle enamel pin and it’s now a fixture on the fanny pack I wear as part of my uniform. why am I risking being called out/asked about it? who can say. he just belongs there.
#mr tickle as in the round orange cartoon guy w the long arms#one of many things that had young me 👀 about without knowing why#only in writing this post did it occur to me where he falls at my side/hip afdjdgd#I have so many weird thrift store finds#unrelated but there’s SO much tickling that ends up happening where I work/live#(no I will not elaborate (unless we’re already friends))#I now just feel so detached whenever it does#it is so far away from kink in my mind#ngl I’m kinda suffering and not in the fun way#finn rambles

hands you a mura
#murasaki#i'm having so much fun!!! designing and drawing them in Outfits and Things!!!!#their fashion sense is very eclectic since it's either thrifted or handmade#i need to draw up a fashion sense masterpost for them...#usually they'll wear p much anything but they have oddly specific dislikes#such as certain shades of green#also weirdly adverse to collars/scarves/anything around their neck :thinking emoji:#also also they find long sleeves and most cold weather clothing uncomfortable bc they overheat really easily

Very necessary questions to ask your partner…
Hadri says that ‘He’s a nice blue color’ and that ‘He looks mischievous’.
#if you reblog this put what your f/o would think of Sonic in the tags#as a video game character…unless your f/o is from the Sonic world I guess :p#also yes that backpack is based on the Harry Potter Obama backpack#I was thinking about taking Hadri to the thrift store so I thought it would be funny to find something like that#It would be a lot to explain to them but I think Hadri would like Sonic#Sonic is all about being free and having fun#I think Hadri would find Sonic’s sassiness funny too#oh also Hadri would be a total unironic Shadow fan. of course#oc f/o#fictional other#f/o art#f/o#self shipping

Upsides to gaining weight: sexier, more energy (eating enough food now), little bit of fat protecting my ribs for my cat to kneed
Downsides to gaining weight: I have to go fucking clothes shopping 😭😭😭
#you know how hard it is finding cute clothes at the thrift shop that are bigger than a medium??#especially corduroys since all the fun colors are usually womens sizes and that's a whole mess to deal with 😭#2pm in the morning

can argue to death with me about how age restrictions on youtube are necessary but i will be DAMNED before i say Hinds Hall deserved to be age restricted. average american child on youtube can listen to H*rbu D*rbu (censoring in hopes to avoid algorithm engagement with the song) which is IOF praising genocidal propaganda, and- big fucking shocker- its not age restricted. i’m 100% sure the only reason Hind’s Hall was restricted was to deliberately suppress and avoid the spread of the song.
#tauto talks#i know damn well that it doesn’t matter that it’s songs in different languages shit in arabic is not free from age restrictions just because#it would not take a kid much leg work for someone to find an english translation if they wanted it#pop culture has an inseparable impact on the public perception of so fucking much and it sucks to say but i bet some people hadn’t had#everything delivered in a way that made them care#macklemore has a weird history of social activism in his music i apologize every day for making fun of him in highschool for thrift shop#like his song kevin does a lot to tackle americas overprescription to addiction to jail or death pipeline#it is sympathetic to the experience of an addict in ways a lot of people generally in society are not#this song did a bit to turn perspective to industries at fault and not the individual suffering#so watching hinds hall be age restricted? feels deliberate. as every move of suppression has felt#feeling particularly full of grief and hate today because i graduate soon#i can only think of every writer like me who did not get to see the stage like i will and it aches#stories the world will never see because it removed the chance#it’s almost like the youth of america are some of the most vibrant and opinionated and energetic parts of the population. youth affords time#change spreading like wildfire cannot be put out as fast as it grows#keep burning#free palestine#palestine#gaza genocide#free gaza#eyes on rafah#eyes on sudan#eyes on congo#eyes on darfur#liberate the world#hoping a swift but painful death to colonization

worst thing in the world when ur love language is gifts & ur favorite people don’t care abt receiving small presents & trinkets…i understand those cats that leave dead animals on doorsteps we r living the same lifestyle
#literally LOVE getting people presents esp my close friends bc i can make them so cute + personal#but my fucking. twin. is like the least materialistic person EVER like she never wants anything…#had the brilliant idea 2 make her a personalized advent calendar xmas gift like it’s gonna be SO cute#gonna get 12 little presents package them all nicely etc…but i just know she will not care that much 🥲#whatever tho…it’ll be fun 4 me 2 make i already knitted her a big scarf that’ll probably be day 12…#might do it for my other sister or another friend too i just feel like this is such a good idea….#can go 2 the thrift store & find cute trinkets…get little snacks…buy some fuzzy socks + little hand lotions etc….#then wrapping paper from the thrift store & leftover ribbon from halloween costume. little handmade number cards….#was already planning 2 knit them scarves anyway. scream this is the best present idea and none of them will fully appreciate it 😭😭😭

Bring & Buy at Tokyo Boom
On November the 12th my local lolita community organised a bring & buy event and I was part of the working team! A bring & buy is a specialized kind of flea market: you drop off the things you want to sell with us (the lolita association) and we sell the items. There's a small fee (1€) for each item you drop off. At the end you collect your money for the sold items or get your items back (if they haven't sold). The small fee goes towards our association, we use it towards events.
I knew we were announcing our upcoming Teaparty at the bring & buy event (will be on June 8th 2024), which will be called "Royal Symphony of Roses". This highwaist-skirt of mine is called "The Empress' New Clothes" (after the fairy tale) and also has a lots of roses in it's print, so I decided to wear this skirt in honour of our upcoming teaparty!
I had lots of fun working at the b & b event and it also was a great success! The owners of Tokyo Boom (the restaurant) were also happy and we will hold further events there! ^_^
I bought two gorgeous headpieces for myself. The black one was an immediate must buy and I pondered a bit about buying the white one (because I have no similar black ones, but vaguely similar light-coloured ones), but then my friend offered me a discount and I couldn't resist any longer on the white one!
[id]Picture 1: A mirrored picture of Amy (me), posing in a chair in front of a big Daruma statue. Amy is a young, fat, white woman with glasses and long brown hair worn in two long braids. She's looking very relaxed and laid-back in this picture, as well as confident. She's leaning back in the chair and has her feet crossed over, which you can only see from the angle of her brown-and-gold accentuated boots. She's wearing a thrifted soft pink top and a soft pink cardigan with buttons over it on the top. The cardigan is tucked into her high waist rock, that's also very light in colour. The background colour of the skirt's fabric is off-white/beige and it's adorned with many flowers and portraits of vaguely regency looking women and men in uniform. There are also ships and letters scattered throughout the print. The print seems like a love story, set at sea. The skirt is finished with pale pink tulle lace with flowers on it. The grey tights don't totally match, but sometimes we have to work with what we have.
Picture 2 & 3: Two very similar close-up selfies of two friends: left is Amy (me) and right is my friend @bright-eyes-hope. My friend has an arm over my shoulder and we're both smiling at the camera.
Amy is a young, fat, white woman with glasses and long brown hair. She's wearing an off-white flower crown, further decorated with pink flowers. She's wearing a soft pink cardigan. My friend is a young, thing, white woman with glassed and short red hair in a kind of pixie cut. They're wearing a black bow in their hair and a black hoodie with cats on it.
Picture 4: A picture of the two lovely headpieces (black and white), that I bought at the bring & buy. Laying above them is the flower crown I wore for this event. The flower crown is offwhite and I further decorated it with single pink roses (to match the pink lace of my skirt). See picture 5 for a description of the black headpiece, as that one also shows it better/in clearer detail. The white headpiece is by Triple Fortune and features one big white bow with "Triple Fortune" written in gold, as well as multiple white roses and decorative pearls. Multiple asymmetric white veils drape down from the headpiece. The black and white headpieces are both so lovely!
Picture 5: A close-up of a lovely round headpiece by Atelier Pierrot. It's made from black lace, with black roses and black little satin ribbon bows around the rim. Some white pearls give the headpiece a bit of sparkle and further glamour.
Picture 6: The unmirrored original version of picture 1![/id]

i know my body is doing its best but christ alive.
#keeping it fun and funky fresh#personal#i need a chronic illness tag#i've been doing frankly a lot better in the past week+ bc we got an upstairs window ac#and we've been keeping the house air conditioned bc even tho it gets cool overnight it is incredibly humid all the time (70-90%)#and the ac units take the humidity out from indoors as well as keeping things a consistent cool temp for me#but today i painted so i aired out the house all day. and. it was a mistake.#i feel fucking miserable. i could not get comfortable At All All Day.#also like. i haven't talked about this but i've gained quite a bit of weight in the last 2 years & especially the last 6 months#(being completely sedentary d/t chronic fatigue will do that to ya)#and so a lot of my clothes fit weird and feel bad and i haven't replaced them yet bc i still don't rly know how to shop#for clothing for trans women. especially bc a lot of those clothes are thrift store finds that Happen(ed) to feel good on me#and today i happened to be wearing underwear that i didn't realize were among the no-longer-comfy and the waistband would not stop rolling#and then it'd get pinched between my stomach & my lower abdomen and chafe horribly especially w/ how sweaty & sticky i was#it was just awful. it was just awful. i finally turned the ac back on even tho it's only 70° outside#bc i couldn't stand being in the (currently) 80% humidity anymore#and grayson helped me take a sponge bath after i broke down crying#and now i feel a little better but i'm just. tired. i'm tired & all of this is getting worse & my doctor doesn't seem to give a shit#heat intolerance

Current non-pierce earring collection
#kite.txt#never let anyone tell u u have to pierce ur ears to rock fun earrings#just go to antique shops and thrift stores and grandma shops and u will find the coolest shit imagineable#most of my collection is either inherited from my great grandmas or gifted to me#but I’ve found a lot of neat pairs for cheap at thrift places and a few at antique malls#there’s still some I have I’ve never worn… have yet to coordinate an outfit for them
