Living with PTSD, dissociation, and trying to heal. This is somewhere to sort out my head or give me the illusion that's what I'm doing... And generally say the things I'm too scared to say in therapy or face to face.

Integration

Integration has held for nearly two weeks. Guess that’s my new record (and climbing). I’m thinking I’ll probably move across to my other main very soon and abandon this one. If you want to ask questions/follow my other please ask away. Sad to go but feeling like it is the time.

Having all the strange feelings but still feeling like this isn't my place anymore.

Omg I just went to get a latte from my regular coffee shop and I always have the same guy serving me and I must bug him so much as I would always ask for almomd milk (im lactose intolerant) but they would just have lacto free so I stuck with that and today as I drank my latte I could tell the difference in the milk and asked if they started serving almond milk and the guy just shyly said “well you always ask if we have it so i got it specially for you” thiS GUY BOUGHT THE MILK WITH HIS OWN MONEY I FEEL SO PREVILEDGED RIGHT NOW EAAAAHH

Differences in vocabulary around Australia.

There are honestly people in my beautiful country that call potato cakes ‘hash browns’? What the everloving fuck, you need to l e a v e. Go home, drink some goon and reevaluate what it means to be an aussie.

It dpeends is it the kind from maccas or a fish and chip shop?

Maccas doesn’t even SELL potato cakes. Ohmygod you’re one of them aren’t you.

Technically yes they do but only before 10:30 am (?)

Babe. Babe no. Those are hash browns babe. There’s a difference.

Hash brown: 

Potato cake:

I know that but they are technically the same thing. Also those round things are called potato scallops.

i say hash browns (from maccas) and potato scallops (from the fishnchip shop)…lol…sorry not sorry @destroymales :D

@keeva99 I would like to ally with you against the potato cake regime.

hash browns are crumbly potato bits smooshed together and deep fried, no batter. potato scallops are deep fried mashed potato in batter. vastly different breakfast foods.

Hash browns (maccas)and potato fritters (chip shop).

How the hell do you get so precise with got glue?

You mean hot glue?

I’ve had about 7 years of experience using hot glue as a detailing tool, so thats one thing. 

Honestly I could write a book of tricks with hot glue. 

But the key things Ive learned are…

-Let your gun sit for about 40 minutes before use. GET THAT SHIT HOT, the hotter the gun, the smoother and less clumpy the glue. 

-METAL NOZZLES ONLY. Like this:

NONE OF THAT PLASTIC CONE OF SAFETY BULLSHIT

CRAP.- Get gluesticks that are REALLY long. Dont get the mini shorts unless you have too. It saves you from getting that little gap of time where the glue stick cant be pushed anymore, and ends up pumping out dollops of a mess.  AND ALWAYS have one on hand, so when that does happens you can immediately push it along. 

-IGNORE THE LITTLE STRINGIE THINGS. Ignore them. Do all your detailing, riding, rivets, what have you. Let the strings happen. They will happen, let them. When your done and it all dries, just dab some duck tape or roll your hand or a brush over the detailing and pick up all the strings. They will just snap off. 

-WHEN YOU FUCK UP KEEP GOING. Line got too fat? Leaked over the edge? JUST KEEP GOING! Nothing you can do when the glue is still hot. Just let it dry. Honestly. The whole of your line or detail is more important than the fuck up. AND AFTER IT DRIES, just use an Xacto to go back and cut off the fuck up. Either cut it down to size or cut it off completely and redo that little area. 

-To make your edges look welded instead of all puffy or raised, while your glue is still hot take another stick and smear it through against the creases. Do another line and smear again. Bam, glued together and when its painted it looks like welded armor. 

-Faster is better. Taking your time means your squeezing slower, so the glue comes out slower. It dries pretty fast on itself, so it clumps as it goes down like that, making that rainwater effect. If you want smooth raising lines you gotta go fast! GO FAST! My trick is to lay down a scrap piece of cardboard or foam and squeeze out some practice lines like you would a paintbrush. Swipe a few time on the cardboard, swipe the armor. Back and forth, back and forth. It keeps the glue flowin. 

HAPPY HOT GLUING!

okay but @aicosu thanks for the tutorial and all but that first picture is literally black face. 

Painting your face black = bad. 100% of the time. Please stop doing this and please apologize for it. I’m going to assume no offense was meant but that doesnt mean it wasnt bad.

@thescreechingcollective this isn’t imitating a black person this is cosplaying a drow/night elf.

still black face. painting your face black = black face. intent does not matter.

i know what a fucking drow is. still motherfucking black face. get off my blog.

I'm sorry. I didn't know about drow = racism. I'm relatively new to fantasy stuff, cosplay, and being white I have no frame of reference. My full stop above was meant to be a question mark. I have zero experience with it and am willing to learn. Thanks for the correction. No sarcasm intended. I do want to know especially for future instances.
