Looks like this was posted 2 years ago. No clue why its reappearing in feed. Appeared in mine too.
my deepest condolences for that, thats absolutely awful to have gone through. best of luck
Yeah, I would prefer if this place just pre-emptively defederates Threads. Since while unlikely to be able to really view lemmy posts properly, I still rather it not be able to be seen at all. I dont want them to embrace extend extinguish and so need to pre-emptively prevent that.
Heh, we’re just better 😎
Just got this email. Just after midnight on the 18th did the fire alarm go off 3 times in an hour. Glad to see them actually send this out, its not often Ponderosa gets deliberate false alarms. Been there for 2 years and its typically rare (usually you can atleast smell smoke meaning someone burnt something bad).
Oml thats actually insane and incredible. My goodness wow
Based, thanks moss
Thought id share a WIP of my current cosplay project! I finished last month the Stringbean staff for my cosplay, and it was the most intensive prop I’ve ever worked on.
First, someone already made the stl of Stringbean, and was selling the file online so I purchased myself it. (Here it is so others can also find it. Big thanks to the person for making this public: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/owl-house-luz-stringbean-staff-cosplay-palisman-3d-print-model)
But, made modifications with both the pole I had being larger and a slight consistency error with the show I noticed (how Stringbean attaches to the pole). So, went into blender and modified it. After that, could 3D print it on my Ender 5 Pro, where then refinement began.
Tons of spray painting, until eventually I reached the state I was happy with. I resin-casted the orb, took several days since first time I ever did resin-casting. Then had some leftover resin so I casted the eyes to create more of a shine. Put it all together, and bam! And it turned out incredible.
From one side:

Overall, so proud, it was my first time doing props to this degree, and taught a ton. Now for the rest of the cosplay.
The real 196 was inside us the whole time??? 🥺 👉👈
Oh my goodness that film was just so good. The first spider-verse was incredible (and ended up taking Gwen as my namesake), and this second one is just as good if not better. The narrative, the animation, the sound, the text and subtext. Just a masterpiece
Yeah I can't help but say it in the Anglicized "bla-ha-j", but I always say it in a bit of a goofy way like, a bit of a sing-songy way. Like, musically F-[bla], D-[haj]. Its just too fun saying it like that.
Yeah I think avoiding downvoting I prefer. Im not sure how it works entirely, but the fact that outside people can't just come here and downvote is actually very appreciated. I know for smaller hobby-type posts, in places like Reddit, seeing downvotes can be very demoralizing for continuing with the hobby, so not having that risk is kinda nice. What would be useful is if Lemmy had some way to allow communities to set if downvotes are allowed or not, but I dont think it does. I rather until Lemmy provides that feature, for this server to not allow downvotes overall.
To help get the waters started here, since it's terrifying to be the first one to post in a new community, I'll kick it off!
From 2021, this was one of the first cosplays I ever did, Rosalina. Decided to learn how to sew a dress for this, as well as some prop work. It was incredibly tough, but was incredible to pull of. It was also the first cosplay I was able to do after coming out at my university. So, while I've done more since then, this one still means a ton to me.
Would love to go back to it now and get a proper photo done sometime. This was the best photo I got of it.
Spronkus! I missed ya!!!
