I was making something for MerMay for you rascals, but my tablet just died out of nowhere and this is all I was able to save (he was supposed to be in the background so he is nothing special, sorry).

There have also been some asks about the brushes I use and while this is somewhat of a complicated answer for me to make (I tend to be somewhat of a brush-whore), I still was excited to talk about this.

But it seems this is jet, another level of escalation my tablet has in store for me, and it's honestly killing my drive.

Oh come ON 911, really?

I know you love your parental redemptions and I do want Eddie to be happy again but seriously, COME ON.

I have two teenage boys, aged 15 & 17. There is no way in hell they would act like Christopher if I did something so shocking and life altering. They would YELL at me. They would SCREAM at me. They would tell me exactly what they think of my actions and bluntly, too, because that’s what kids do. Mine do this frequently already in fact, because they know that I will keep loving them no matter what. So they feel safe to yell and let their emotions out and I believe Eddie has raised Chris the same way.

Chris needs to have some agency of his own and stop being this fucking National Treasure bullshit the fandom came up with. He is FOURTEEN, full of hormones and angst and trauma from having lost his mother and he just smiles and hugs Eddie and says he’s proud of him?

Fuck off. I don’t care how well your kid is raised, no teenager is going to react like that.

Let Chris yell. Let him SPEAK. Let him tell Eddie exactly how much he was hurt and confused and betrayed by what Eddie did. Give the kid a voice.

My first ever comic con! And first cosplay too. Of course it's gonna be my boy :] Ramblings about the process are under the cut(Let me know if?? You would want me to elaborate with process images for any of the steps?)

The costume took me forever to make, as I've never done any machine sewing, sculpting, fabric dying or spray painting before but learning all of these was so fucking fun!! I never realised just how many different skills go into making a cosplay but it was so worth it!!!

Almost all of the clothes(except the hat) were purchased first as bases, but all of the detailing was added by me. All of the fabric used was originally just scraps that I was given for free so I needed to learn how to dye and dye all of the stars, they were originally white.

The sewing machine was its own beast that brought me tons of frustration from the lack of skill and knowledge (it was devastating to find out that 95% of fuck ups were my fault and not the machine's lmao). But as a result, a hat sewn from scratch, all of the fur trims, embroidery on the corset, stars and the collar(which is very hard to see on the pictures unfortunately) was all added manually. The stars and the stripes(on the back of the cape) were attached using heat-and-bond adhesive (I WISH I knew about such thing just when I started working on this. It would save me so much time and nerves.)

Then I found out about polymorph(mouldable plastic) and it has become the next thing I wanted to learn, to sculpt the claws and the fangs(yes, they're handmade jfksjs). The claws I then primed and painted in trillion coats because I wasn't satisfied with the colour of the spray paint. The fangs I moulded to my own teeth and then stained with tea to match the colour of my teeth :)c

As for makeup, I used Mehron Paradise water activated paints. At first I wanted to try to save money and bought myself Snazaroo instead, which unfortunately turned out to be a waste. Snazaroo didn't hold on my face for longer than 2 hours, cracking and peeling awfully. Mehron on the other hand survived 11 hours of me smiling, talking, emoting and such and didn't even crease at the smile lines(I'm actually shocked about that). It obviously works like any other makeup which means your skin texture and wrinkles won't go anywhere but Mehron's elasticity pleasantly surprised me. It did obviously smear from sweat and saliva(if you're eating and licking your lips) but if you don't touch the skin it just dries again, self setting. But if it's dry it's fully smear-proof. Highly recommend!

And last but not least, I've decided against painting my hands as it was very risky that I will stain everything I touch at the smallest hint of sweat. So instead I got myself gloves-tights(? Not sure how they're called but it's made from the same fabric as tights) and painted them with normal acrylic paint(did you know you could dye fabric with acrylic paint? I personally didn't), then heat set with an iron and voilà, they're reusable, my hands are not stained after an exhausting day and I don't stain everything I touch. It worked wonderfully which honestly was a surprise as I was really sceptical that acrylic paint will somehow stay in place.

I think this whole thing took me minimum of 6 months with big-big breaks for my school and life in general. But I'm really proud! This project taught me so many new skills and I couldn't have been happier about learning new knowledge, even if it sucked to fail in the meantime.

Everyone at the con was really nice and gave me a large confidence boost even tho it was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing. Taking photos with other people was really awkward/new for me as I hate cameras so I really had no idea how to pose/behave in front of one. But that's okay I think. This whole experience definitely made me want to do this again, so I think that will come with experience. Thank you for reading this far, hope you enjoyed this little summary :)

POV: You have to go out tomorrow but ironically you are drawing sleeping turtles at 5am because you are in fact a fool.

So please pay attention, attention!

A friend of mine sent me your latest post and I couldn't stop thinking about how perfectly Vasco would fit into the role of a coat of arms supporter. It got to the point that I just sat down and made a mock-up of the idea; turns out actually, both of them do a great job at it, together. Literally made this account to share the discovery (Extra funny points for them fitting the original colour scheme)

Pokeattorney AU x 15th anniversary skit because I take great personal enjoyment in making fun of Edgeworth

...just as much as Phoenix does. The video in question :

Btw just for the record whenever I mention the unnecessary feelings bit keep in mind that I didn't bat an eye when I first saw it, but in restrospect it's hilarious and now I just really like to make fun of him for it. Unconfortable Miles hides and/or says things in the most convoluted way possible adding in further embarassment upon himself. And I like to make fun of him for it <3

[lucabyte]

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

Gryffindor common room is dark red and bright and warm and loud, Slytherin common room is dim green and refined and solemn and mysterious, Ravenclaw common room is deep blue and spaceous and airy and quiet and calm.

Hufflepuff common room used to be yellow and honey and sturdy and cozy, and while it's still very much cozy, it hasn't been just yellow in ages.

Hufflepuffs bring colorful crocheted pillows and quilts from home and leave them on the couches for everyone to use. Hufflepuffs get a whole shelf full or mismatched and some even handmade - from clay or wood - mugs that they make tea in. Hufflepuffs hang herbs to dry and potted plants to grow, share sweaters, sweets, and treats they've been sent from home, and always bring enough food from the kitchens to share. Hufflepuffs leave tiny pieces of themselves in their common room for the next generations and ask house elves to take care of them if they don't mind.

Hufflepuff common room is a collective effort of thousands of people who cherished and loved it, a shared space where anyone can find something familiar. It's a mix and match, a quilt made from scraps of all your favorite shirts that got worn down from wear, full of little marks left behind.
