Giger And Bionicle in one post?

I love this, if just for the fact that it gives aging cosplays the encouragement to still wear magical girl dresses

Middle-aged magical girl.

She's been defending the Earth since the early 90s and she's very tired.

I miss @apextactical 's blog

raise a glass to the posts you love that end up deleted. to the fanart and fanfics you lose track of and can’t locate. to the blogs you used to look through that ended up unexpectedly disappearing. to the things you didn’t archive because you always assumed they’d be there.

Little plushie tiefling is just too cute, I can't help but buy him stuff

There is a reason my Percy cosplay has a holster and knee high boots

The reason is that I don't own thigh high boots

I have said it before and will say it again: give Percy his thigh high boots and thing holster back. Just let me have this, please.

It is finally time

I need to make Plushy Mollymauk his coat

I got some fabric, modified a coat pattern I've already made twice, and this time made it with a full lining.

Great, it fits and he looks happy, now on to the hard part!

Of course I took some creative liberties because of the size and because the coat literally never looks the same.

And now for the final result:

I just wanted to let you all know that my plush Mollymauk's shirt is made from the fabric I had left over from making the shirt for my Percy cosplay.

Just thought it was appropriate to honor their connection

SPOILERS for Episode 6 of the Avatar Live Action series

AKA why this episode makes me SO grateful for this adaptation (re: the Zuko flashbacks and the Agni Kai).

----

Wow.

I admit, I was really worried at the idea that Zuko might potentially fight back in the Agni Kai against his father in the live action. I expected to HATE it, and it's certainly a bold change, but it fits in SO WELL with why Zuko is the way that he is (and why he works so hard to push down his empathy whenever Aang tries to reason with him).

The Agni Kai - Zuko obviously did NOT want to fight his father. He still tried to apologize and beg for mercy, but in the end he was just too terrified of his father to disobey a direct order.

But when Ozai left him an opening to see what he'd do with it, Zuko couldn't bring himself to actually land a blow that might burn him. Making his lack of ruthlessness the weakness that Ozai ends up mutilating him for - even straight up telling Zuko that compassion is weakness and then demonstrating by holding his own child down and lighting him on fire - adds a layer of depth that only enhances the original scene (and in another stroke of genius, we see Ozai nearly in tears himself. He's convincing himself of this lesson as well as Zuko, which was likely passed down to him by his own father). Honestly, this to me is even more heartbreaking than Ozai burning him for refusing to stand and fight. Zuko did everything his father asked and he still failed, because his family has distorted what it means to be honorable and believes Zuko's capacity for mercy to be a shameful weakness unbecoming of an heir to the throne.

The 41st Division - And here come the waterworks. Assigning the very people Zuko was hurt so severely for trying to save to his ship as it's being cast out of the fire nation (presumably forever, with the Avatar not having been seen in 100 years) is SUCH a brilliant addition. His crew resents Zuko for being stuck on this impossible mission with this bratty, angry child. And Zuko is too ashamed of his "weakness" to explain why they were assigned to him.

I can totally see Zuko's hurt at their lack of respect making him even more angry (especially after everything he went through to save them from being sacrificed), and his seemingly irrational anger at them just continuing to make them resent him more in a neverending feedback loop of anger and disrespect that's been growing and festering for 3 years.

Which makes the scene at the end when Zuko's crew finally learns about how he saved their lives (as well as why he's obsessed with the avatar, why he's banished, what his scar means and why he's trying so very hard to rid himself of empathy, even if he can never quite manage it when it counts) so much more impactful. I SOBBED when the 41st Division stood at attention and showed him their utmost respect and loyalty, possibly for the first time since they've been on that ship. Zuko's soft "what's going on?" at finally being honored by his crew is just imprinted on my brain.

The seed of the idea that his compassion may NOT actually be what was shameful about his banishment afterall can finally begin to take root.

I just, damn, I love this episode so much.

#cabbage guy being in the adaption is very important to me

[jarhara]

Okay ngl but the added detail of the Fire Nation unit Zuko spoke up for and was burned and banished for being assigned as his crew is beautiful. Like there are some changes I’m not sure about but Zuko earning their loyalty by having saved them is such a great addition and I teared up when lieutenant Jee announced that OUR PRINCE has returned.

Percy de Rolo cosplay update!

The Diplomacy Gauntlet

I've seen a lot of different designs for this one but a lot were quite heavily armoured but I don't quite see Percy wearing one plate gauntlet.

I also really wanted that look of early electronics where they used braids of copper wire as conducturs. To get a "lightning" effect for the wire, I used some copper colored paracord (which is hollow) with blue El-Wire inside.

I have a Tobias Sammet discord but it's kinda dead (and honestly never lived)

Is there like any Avantasia discord servers or like Powermetal concept album servers to join? I want to hang out with the cool kids so bad Dm me if there is any or you can also add my Disc user if you want to be friends! My user on there is: stormywirmy

I gave plush Molly his peacock tattoo today (at least the part that shows

Today on "look what Critical Role made me do" :

I have been hearing/seeing a lot about campaign 2 and especially Mollymauk, I was 2/3s through campaign 1 when I already knew I was either gonna be really disappointed or completely fall in love with Mollymauk... Now I'll just show you what I did while watching episodes 3 to 6 of campaign 2 and you can try and guess which of these two scenarios happened

Yep, I'm a masochist...
