I need an original series phaser for my Halloween costume. I did not already own an original series phaser. The solution:

Make one out of Cardboard and Popsicle sticks! It's not perfect, but it will suit my purposes nicely.

Build pics/details under the cut!

As you can see, the handle's main structure is popsicle sticks. There's a bunch of those hot glued willy-nilly inside the prop to make it sturdier. I used both glazing spot putty and wood filler to smooth out the surface, but frankly I recommend skipping the spot putty. Super nasty to work with, and actually really delicate, so not really worth it. Wood filler is cheaper and less likely to give you lung cancer. Wear a dust mask or respirator when working with either, regardless. The rounded edges of Phaser I are actually foam clay, which I figured would be easier to use than to shape and fold cardboard into a compound curve. The radiator fins in the back of the prop are made of acrylic from a cheap picture frame.

This took me about a week to do, but that's partially because I lose focus easily.

That interview on TV last night was pretty weird, wasn’t it?

The Stargate sound designers hit it outta the park with all the noises associated with dialing the gate. That bitch clangs and thunks and thwooshes like it should. Encode those mf chevrons, bay-beeee!

Special mention to that noise the DHD buttons make, for which I can’t come up with an onomatopeia.

Folks pondered just what had inspired Leonardo da Vinci to paint the Mona Spock.

sometimes when i’m bored i stare at a wall and imagine Vulcan Tiktok.

Vulcan mom vlogger puts foundation on her vulcan child so no one can see him blushing while he is still learning to control his emotions. a guy stitches the video barrating HER for being illogical- mastering emotion is a difficult task for young vulcans and stigmatizing it IS illogical. it gets 2.3 million likes.

Vulcan comedy videos of supposedly a man making recipes of Orion/Klingon/Human dishes except in every video they substitute ingredients until the video ends with Plomeek Soup every time.

Tiktok lives of lessons on The Teachings Of Surak and at least once an hour they have to respond to comments to say “no, Surak did not state that calling your ex is illogical, but that still does not mean it is logical”

Vulcan teenagers still do dumb shit just like Human Teenagers do, but now they just cover it with “it is logical to test the boundaries of logic, to further our mental o and philosophies.” and no one buys their bs but unless it’s illegal nobody cares enough to stop them

AMITA tiktok’s still remain extremely popular, just in a AMIIL (Am I Illogical) formula

Just dropping this Work in Progress here. I'm kinda juggling a couple of projects right now, and this one's just sort of on the backburner for now.

Extremely, extremely rough right now. Pretty sure I've goofed the perspective on Alan's face, and it doesn't quite look like him yet either. I'll get around to fixing it eventually.

Severe untreated ADHD!

Ever since I was a kid I compulsively scan clover patches for a four-leaf clover. I never find one. The other day in the park, I happened to glance down at my feet and somehow spotted one instantly. This particular high might last me the rest of the month.

Absolutely transcendent move from Star Trek to write a shapeshifter character who's kind of bad at it. You're like, "oh so he can impersonate other characters?" and they're like no he's not very good at faces :(

"Nine and Donna would've hated each other" WRONG they would ADORE each other they would be the two cattiest bitches in the book club. Donna would lean over and tell him "honestly sounds like Rassillion was a bit of a cunt" and he snorts so hard he almost regenerates right then and there
