I'm so happy I get to customize a Furby!! I've loved them since I watched the divine conception of Thursday Plurbonym Boyporridge when I was like 12 or 13

Quickly showing off some removable Velcro decos I made for Shaggy:

(The orange pom pom and the heart shaped “Calm” badge)

And if anyone cares, below is a tutorial/record of how I made them:

I used the sticky Velcro dots from stellotape and some of my planner stickers

As the specific sticker I had in mind is bigger than the Velcro patch, first thing I did is to stick it on a piece of paper and cut it off (The only non-brittle paper I had with me is a biscuit memo pad…)

As can be seen, the sticky side of Velcro patch still had quite some empty space after putting the sticker on, so I just slapped on some more stickers beads and plastic jewels

The final product is coated with a layer of clear nail polish, which probably is not a good idea as nail polish erodes plastic. I’m considering UV resin next time

The orange pom pom is simply stuck on a Velcro patch of the same size.

🌟 1998 Furby Re-Lashing Guide 🌟

A visual step-by-step guide to my own process for giving 1998 Furbies lashes that retain the classic look. There may be other guides and methods out there, this is just my own way to do it!

MATERIALS NEEDED:

Detached Eyelids ( guide for removal: CLICK HERE )

13mm D-Curl Lash Extensions ( see photo )*

Mod Podge

Tacky Glue

X-Acto Knife

Small Paint Brush

Q-tip

Lightweight Paper

SHARP Scissors

Clean Water

Washcloth or Paper Towel

Optional, Ruler with cm/mm marks & Marker or Pen * 13mm will be closest to original length, I would not recommend anything longer than 15mm unless you want the lashes to really look insanely long.

I will put all of the steps under the readmore! 👇

Step 1:

Use the x-acto knife to gently peel up an eyelash foil strip, and be careful not to disturb the lashes. Go slowly and only handle the strip by the sticky foil. You will only need one strip for a pair of lashes!

Step 2:

Place the sticky strip on the lightweight paper, I put it close to the edge because it'll be easier to cut out later. Paint a thin layer of Mod Podge over the base of the lashes on the strip to secure them. This is an important step, there isn't much else keeping them in place, otherwise!

It's hard to wait, but let the glue dry before handling the strip again, I suggest a good 30 minutes or so.

Step 3:

Now that the glue has dried, cut out the paper around the strip and very carefully trim the foil and paper at the sides and underneath the curl of the lashes. Do this slowly, so you don't accidentally snip the lashes, you ONLY want to trim back the paper+foil. This will make them appear more flush with the eyelid when glued in.

Step 4:

Optionally, use a ruler to find the center of the strip and mark it with a marker, I used a Sharpie because it dries instantly. It's possible to eyeball this, but I like them to be as even as possible.

Snip the strip in half, very sharp scissors will prevent the foil from bending or warping. Again, be careful not to snip the lashes themselves! It's ok if you lose one or two in this process, as long as they still look relatively clean and even once split.

Step 5:

Apply a drop of tacky glue to the back of each eyelid and use the Q-tip to spread it in a thin, sticky layer. The eyelids have a little trench you can use as a guide for placement.

You can repeat this process if you wish with the top of the lash strip where it will be applied, as well, to make it stick better. I haven't tried this myself, yet.

Place the base of the lash strip over the tacky glue and press it into position, I use the backs of my thumb nails to hold them firmly while the glue sets. It make take some effort and patience to get them to stay in the curve, just try not to slide them around.

Step 6 (Final):

After the tacky glue has had some time to dry, I like to apply a final coat of Mod Podge over the paper and underside of the eyelids to seal and protect everything. Give this 30 minutes to an hour to fully dry before re-assembling your Furby!

✨ Voila! Fresh new eyelashes! ✨

They won't look exactly like the original, but close enough for me. I'm sure the process can be improved in some ways, so if you have any feedback please share it in comments or tags!

Good luck with your projects and thank you for reading! 🌟

I GOT A 1998 FURBY FOR $3 AT THE THRIFT STORE!!!

[i-identify-as-tired]

Saving for later

[video has no sound]

Here’s the tutorial vid / post on how I “dye” furby fur with acrylic paint similar to how I did with Snowcone, ft. a scrap of fabric that’s a similar texture to furby fur!

This kind of tutorial works for nearly all dye pattern types, whether you want a full block of color, a gradient, spots, stripes, etc. in your furby’s fur! Plus the same method of application works for furby manes / feet / ears / tails, so get creative with it and have fun coloring your furbs! :D

Materials used:

Acrylic paint

Water (room temp., hot water can be bad for furby fur as described in step 6!)

Paint brush

Paper towels OR a fabric cloth you don’t mind getting paint on

Dry (CLEAN and UNUSED / CRAFTING ONLY) toothbrush

Optional:

A wire-bristle pet-comb brush 

Below are the steps I use as shown in the video + some extras before and after. 

1. ***SKIN YOUR FURBY!*** This means carefully removing the outer fabric layer of the body + ears from the robotic shell that holds all the furby’s circuits and such inside, which is SUPER important because any water / paint that leaks or soaks into the shell + electronics can be very bad for your furb!  Example video / tutorial for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=386&v=N9kzEVvW-Rc

2. Put a tiny bit of acrylic paint into your container of choice and add enough water for the mixture to be a watery dye instead of actual thick paint, making sure to mix it well enough that little to no excess clumps of paint are floating in the water / stuck on the bottom of the container / etc.

3. Use a paint brush to gently pat / ‘paint’ the dye into the furby’s fur as you desire **making sure to account for any paint bleeding along the way!** You may want to use less paint in a spot than you plan to just to see how much the paint mixture will bleed / cause the color to grow beyond your control and/or learn how to use that bleeding to your advantage to make gradients / blend colors / etc.! (If you want to add ‘tie dye’ / gradient effects, now would be the time to add your other colors too while the paint mixture is still wet to help them blend better! You can do all your colors at once, do some in batches after drying sessions, etc., it’s all up to you + the look you’re going for! :) )

4. Let the mixture soak into the fur a bit before gently patting the access paint mixture away with a paper towel / cloth, and decide what to do with your color from here. 

If you feel the color is too light, you can add more layers by doing the same steps over the same spot OR adjust your mixture (as I did in the video) with a bit more paint to help make the color a bit more vibrant.

If you feel the color is too dark, you can add just straight water (no paint or anything in it) to the area with a clean brush and press the paper towel / cloth into the area to help soak up the extra color and lighten it up as needed OR paint over it with a lighter color of paint mixture (white / yellow / etc) to adjust the color from there. (Like when I was adding the other colors after the pink to achieve a tie-dye look, I added too much blue / purple at first and made it look darker than I intended, but then painted more pinks + yellows + oranges over it to help balance it out as shown in the final pic at the bottom of this post!)

If you feel the color is just right, then you can stop and move on to the next step! :)

5. Once you’re happy with the color(s) you’ve added, brush the fur out with a dry toothbrush to help get rid of clumping / excess paint while the fur is still a little wet, but **be careful of smearing the colors!!** Use a very light and gentle hand to brush it out and/or wait for the paint to dry about half-way before trying to brush the fur in order to prevent smearing! (UNLESS of course you want your colors to be smeared / help blend them together better by hand, at which point feel free to use this step and the toothbrush to do exactly that!)

6. Let the fur completely dry! You can leave it to dry naturally and/or use a fan to help speed up the drying process. ***DO NOT USE HAIR DRYERS / ANYTHING ELSE HEAT-BASED!*** Anything with heat could actually melt your furby’s fur fibers a little bit and make it a bit clumpy / chunky (and not in a good way) !

7. Once the paint mix is funny dried into the fur, brush the fur out with the (now dry if it got a little wet before) toothbrush again to help gently work out any clumps / paint chips in the furby’s fur. If the fur still doesn’t feel as soft as you want, use a pet brush to help separate the fur fibers more and return the fur to it’s soft and fluffy glory! **Just be very light / careful when using a pet brush, ‘cause if you pull too hard / use it too roughly it might actually pull little chunks of fur out, which doesn’t grow back on a furby!**

8. Repeat steps 2-7 as needed with any other colors / dye patterns you wish to add to the furby’s fur, and once those have all dried / been styled to your liking via. toothbrushes and pet combs, you’re done! :)

Have fun dyin’ your furbs! :D

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

*has a girlfriend for 2 years*

*start dating another girl and introduce her to your other girlfriend*

*they get along really well*

*you later break up with your first girlfriend because your relationship wasn't quite healthy and not very fulfilling*

*you guys remain best friends*

*you date your current girlfriend for a year and things are amazing*

*your ex comes out as a lesbian*

*she has a crush on your girlfriend*

Anyone else find it strange how often people write (smut) fanfiction about headcannoned trans male/transmasc characters and the first thing they do is make him a pathetic loser who's terrified of cock and balls

Idk, maybe I'm just tired of seeing so many people be like "I'm such a cringefail loserboy uwu, I'm so pathetic and weak, no one will ever love me because I'm such a horny self-sabotaging loser who's swo scawed of penises @//@ ^_^".

Like no, dude, you're 23

At this point idk if these people are just acting out an online persona or they do this irl. I'm worried it's the latter because I've met trans guys like that and it's really obnoxious because they defend any disrespectful thing they do as EVERYONE HATES ME BECAUSE I'M SO WEAK AND PATHETIC!!

Pain in the ass it is

It's interesting to be at a point in my experience with polyamory that I'm a lot more selective than I used to be and I'm honestly not bothered if I spend my entire life dating one singular person as long as the door to other connections is never closed. I think my polyamory is more of a mindset of how I carry out any relationship (platonic, romantic, sexual, other) than a need to always have multiple partners. It's probably good for me anyway since I'm acknowledging the fact I have enough commitments and responsibilities that outweigh my ability to start another relationship. Also I'm really demiromantic and demisexual. Also dating sucks because people get weird lol. Like, I'm not opposed to me or my girlfriend ever dating other people, not at all. But I just don't want to do it in practice because it's a lot more tiring and complicated and can be really messy and I'm just not ready nor interested to start dating again because there's nobody I'm attracted to.
