Thane Krios, Mass Effect 2
I saw the very top of the image and had a panic attack. I have my own black widow packed away and am just hoping like mad that it will travel safely.
When you have sanded a 50” prop smooth as well as crafted it in full there is a mix of pride and fear. Kind of can’t hide. Well I almost could hide behind it to be fair….
Today was supposed to be wholly dedicated to sewing for Arma but somehow I’ve ended up at metal work.
I’m totally okay with that! Want to post pictures of my work but at the same time want to wait for the full costume/makeup…..
You’ll just have to wait! Valkyrie out!
…Valkyrie?
(Seriously, Brittany, I know you would rock that. Can’t wait for the finished result!)
So fun seeing people blog about costuming for Armageddon 🙂 See you both there? I’ll be in the extremely uncomfortable Blood Dragon armour (modded to have interference overlay and no dragon- basically I can’t figure out a paint to go over the Rub n Buff…. so it’s a mod!) the 50” long (125cm long) Black Widow sniper and teeny tiny space hampster- no one messes with my hampster- go for the eyes!). BTW my prop meets all safety guidelines so ahahahahaha- card with a thin fibreglass overlay (glass tissue, how I love and hate it, but mostly love). So long as it doesn’t break in my suitcase.
Oh and purple hair. My one fb teaser photo makes it look burgundy but it’s not. Now I need to roll a Miki Shep with purple hair. She’ll be an adept as well as brawler because machinf “f” over and over again is very cathartic. And I need to to get the first game working because I also want Phoenix armour. Feaking pink armour!
Anyway, as cosplay contest co-ord and judge for the show I’ll be as available as I can be for talking to. So if I have epic health fail I’ll be in my N7 leggings and hot pink NASA hoodie and that purple hair. So please come find me, introduce yourself even if we have met before because doing so many shows means I need to meet you at least a few times or be reminded of very specific costume detaills.
I have done the same. I want to post photos. My fb friends have seen Mr Beanie Pants (hampster) and the collar of my armour but not the full thing and definitely not the full thing in silver and interference. I have some hand sewing to do at the show but not much- I didn’t accound for how firm the funky cool elastic I have used is.
Okay, time to get the certificates and envelopes and forms converted to PDF for takingwith me.
Thank goodness it is pretty darned close to one of the hair options for FemShep. Aside from the rigging my costume is good to go
Yeah rigging is a biggie but considering how the glue failed on me and no one sells Rub n Buff or Shoe Goo/E6000 near me I…
Made a tiny beanie animal…. for FemShep. You can hopefully see where this is going?
Squeak.Anyway. Aside from my hands really being a bit pants.. I filleted my finger two days ago and it is just barely knitting together… I may have managed to stave off…

i hate trying new pills.
I’m about to try an infusion in the hospital. Internal freakout. Hey you know all that stuff you learned in Immunology? That paper everyone failed the first time it was allowed to be taken by non-pre-med or b.Tech students? Yeah. We’re going to knock out an entire line of B cells in you. That can’t go wrong can it?

This is how wrong it can go- though my infusion has already been tested.
Not a drug, monoclonal antiodies are biologically derived. Used to be from micies and rabbits (at least for playing in the lab) now from humans. And the immune response is a tricky bugger to control once it has started down the wrong path.
So yes, I am freaking. I hope people around me can understand that I’m not simply making up Teh Dramdrams over losing a little hair.

As a New Zealander I interpreted this in a completely different way
incOHERENT SCREAMS
yeah people overseas just call them kiwis… not kiwifruit… i guess the ‘fruit’ specification is only really important here…
DOES THIS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH GENITALIA
nO WHAT THE FUCK KIWI ARE CUTE LIL BIRDS AND KIWIS ARE APPARENTLY WHAT U CALL KIWIFRUIT SO THIS GUY IS PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT EATING A KIWIFRUIT WHOLE BUT TO US IT SOUNDS LIKE HE’S A WEASEL OR S/T EATING THESE POOR ENDANGERED FLIGHTLESS BIRDS ;-;
In Britain a Kiwi is a pejorative for someone from New Zealand-Aotearoa so.
pejORATIVE??? WE JUST CALL OURSELVES THAT HERE HAVE U FUKCRES BEEN MAKING FUN OF US THIS WHOLE TIME???????
Whoa if some people there are using it as a pejorative when that’s literally the name we chose to refer to ourselves as then that’s not a great indication of what those British people think of New Zealanders as whole.
True, Earl’s Court used to be known as Kiwi Court (still? Been a long time since I was contemplating my OE which got cancelled due to yay chronic illness after being home for barely 5 months after my solo tour of northern Europe….) but seriously.. it’s not a very inventive insult.
Can we get some creativity up in this piece? Come on there are so many jokes that can be had at our expense. Our PM, for example, going on the Letterman Show.. our obsession with Middle Earth… 100% Pure campaign.. it’s all right there!
October 10th, 1946 | Happy Birthday, Charles Dance!
– ‘He’s just a true gentleman.’ – Peter Dinklage
– ‘The epitome of the word dashing.’ – Kit Harington“Actors can’t retire. If actors retired there would be nobody left to play old wrinkly people. You have to keep going, darling – don’t you?”
I saw Mr Charles Dance live. I don’t remember much because 10 pound seats were.. 10 pound seats.. but he was opposite Jessican Lange in Long Day’s Journey In To Night. Self explanatory title really.
Okay so I was on my Phantom stalkery tour where I hung out at Her Majesty’s to talk to the actors and hey Charles Dance was performing in a play as well so… He played the Phantom in a telemovie (Yeston then got his musical which has a few very fun songs as well- This Place is Mine for one).
Anyway, so I get to gloat about that.
Even if technically I didn’t see him for half the play due to the seats of the balcony above actually overlapping our sight lines to the point I saw the edge of the stage and maybe some feet. At interval people took pity on us and had us sit beside them… shhhh. B
Total presence. Be it calm or raging under the surface.
Nyreen test photos, camera on phone is pants
Seems to be that the front camera for selfies on my phone has changed settings to some really…
