costumizing my braces part 2: vinyl boogaloo

(part 1 here)

look at me having the spoons and time to keep working on operation "make the braces not suck", in todays episode; adding the htv (heat transfer vinyl) designs

first up, the designs, theese were designed and cut out while i was at home for autumn break (before i was planning on making process posts about this project), so i dont have any pictures of my cricut or the weeding etc., but i do have pics of the designs i cut out

[ID in ALT]

to explain the text i used:

"are the gods truly this petty?": a phrase said by shadowheart in act 3 of baldurs gate 3 whenever her incurable sharran wound hurts. since her wound is on her right hand, and my right wrist is the one most likely to act up (and since bg3 has me in a chokehold like no other), i figured it would be a fitting choice

"d va da som svarte": written more or less phonetically according to my dialect, its hard to translate but as a phrase its simmilar (but not as "severe" on the swearing scale) to "for fucks sake" or "fucking hell". it goes on the left brace since i really fucked up if i need to use it

for the transfer i needed to make sure i did not mess up the communal equipment, lest i be excommunicated from the workshop. so i put a paper towel under each brace to protect the ironing board from any possible glue, and i used some scrap muslin on top of the braces to protect the iron from the plastic and the dye (as yall can see from the second picture it was a good thing i did)

i ironed the designs from both the front and back of the braces for 30 seconds each, then another 30 seconds from the front, this vinyl is cold peel so i let one cool down while i did the other, i then removed the transfer tape and (because i dont trust the glue on this brand) ironed for Another 30 seconds with just the muslin between the iron and the design

thats it for part 2, part 3 (link found here once its up, or check the "operation make the braces not suck" tag on my blog) will more than likely be the stitching to re-attach the bits that fell off during the dying

thinking about luke (again) and lately my mind keeps getting dragged back to the moment in a new hope when he comes back to find the homestead burned and owen and beru gone- and how in that moment there’s not this great exclamation of grief from luke, but just a single look of devastation on his face and that always sends me down a spiral about grief because yeah- grief can be like that, especially giant, all-consuming, world-altering grief. no screaming at the sky. no tears. just silence. shock. and after that luke gets up and goes on to save the galaxy. but what really stops me- what i really keep coming back to- is just thinking about afterwards, after the second death star gets destroyed- how there must have been a moment where he just went ‘oh’ because where was he to go then? because that’s one of the things i think is so easy to overlook, because unlike leia with alderaan and how overt and obvious it is she can never go home, with luke and tatooine its quieter, more like one of those awful revelations that unfurl in your belly- because he could go back, but what to? and i think it’s from such an awful moment that we get this beautiful nature from within luke of wanting to build a home for others with his school and there is something about that, that idea of him really getting to turn the worst moment and feeling in his life into a mission to help others, that once again just endears me to him so through how absolutely human he is and i will never stop talking about it

If Yakuza Kiwami had been set in 2020, Majima would totally have snuck up on Kiryu in an amogus costume at least once.
