What actually happened to the stickers, how did they get shaped the way they did?

so i have some pretty cheapo sticker vinyl that needs to be laminated in order to be usable.

When starting a new project, I have to test my cutting machine to get accurate results and figure out how to set up my page.

I use cheap vinyl or paper, unlaminated, in order to test. they are fragile and awful. And if the cuts didn't go deep enough, they stick to each other. The tearing generally happened when trying to remove the vinyl around them and leave the stickers.

The googly eye placement is 100% artistic choice for each sticker. I put those on myself for maximum funny.

"well nobody wants to buy physical media anymore-" I do!! I love CDs and DVDs and records and box sets and books and I know a lot of other people do too. I want to own the stuff I enjoy instead of having to search through streaming services that constantly fuck with their prices and move shows from one platform to another. I want physical media! companies need to continue making physical media!

part 1 of me trying to cope after uninstalling twitter in the meantime to avoid spoilers (AAAHAHKJKLLK 6 DAYS TO GO LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO ASKLJDALKJDADLKOP. Ok. I am now normal. for now).

I have to keep my very itchy hands busy somehow, and they (the hands) and I (my lizard brain) have settled with this compromise.

Okay folks I need help!

So I've posted about this twice now but I need some input. I finally got my pre-order of the HH S1 vinyl (it sounds amazing btw). I would love to get the casing signed at FanX on the 27th and thanks to the generosity of my friend I might actually be able to afford it. In attendance will be:

Amir Talai, Blake Roman, Krystina Alabado, Joel Perez, and Erika Henningsen.

On the one hand I thought about asking them to sign their character on the cover where applicable, but on the other I don't want their faces to be obscured? And Cherri, Val, and Vox aren't on the cover. Do I have everybody sign wherever they want? Do I ask them all to sign the sleeve? Do I ask everybody to sign inside the case?

I'm hoping to eventually collect all the big players from season one.

Please help guys I have decision paralysis

i'll never understand limited edition, collector's editions for PREORDERS of new games

like for existing franchises, i mostly get it. it's not for me but like, sure, ten+ years in a franchise you know you're into it and the merch likely applies to previous games and not just the new one

but limited edition collector's preorders for new ip? or like anthology series where each game has a whole new cast/setting? that's insane

why are you spending $100 on what might be Dogshit: The Game

why is this happening

is the fomo that strong

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

[ID in ALT]

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
