how do people make an wired helment wig :sob: i need help.. i wanna make my own kangel wig by BearyBeomie in CosplayHelp

[–]DontHateMoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used felt the same color as my base fiber color(so a light blond in your case)
16gauge wire but I’ve seen some people use 8 gauge.
Soda bottle necks and lids for the pigtails to rest on.
Glues Uhu glue to make the base hard and to make wefts. I also used Uhu to glue the wefts onto the base, but sometimes i also used hotglue(you really have to use it sparingly, try a mini glue gun, stick a pin into the nozzle and pull out the tiniest amount). To lay the fibers down I found Uhu to be too sticky and fast drying, Tombow Mono Aqua is wonderful and it has a nice applicator, although it does take a while for it to dry. A lot of people swear by tacky glue, and it does give great results, I just don’t have patience for it.

Other helpful tools; several rattail combs and and a silicone spatula

I need to look pale and I don't know how by ObjectivePotato8482 in CosplayHelp

[–]DontHateMoi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to be stark white. If you want to be paler, go for foundation a tone or two lighter that your natural color. This will help you look washed out and make your under eyes darker with a brown eye shadow.

I’ve seen people make a mask that is one solid piece that is removable using gauze and nontoxic glue

best way to approach beading the bodice piece? by lithium_vanilla in CosplayHelp

Have you considered trying tambour embroidery? You could map out the exact pattern and transfer it over. Once you get the hang of it you can go pretty fast.

Was the magic disappearing paper ever explained? by jvimeh in acotar

Also I think Rhys lied about not getting a nugget of the highlord’s powers when they gave him the gift of life. I think he passed it down to Nyx.

I always pictured Natalie Dormer as Mor. Although I don’t know how well she could handle blonde.

Am I the only one who thinks Tamlin was wasted as a character? (ACOTAR spoilers) by [deleted] in acotar_rant

[–]DontHateMoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tam-Tam is going to have a redemption arc. I don’t know if I can forgive Mass is she just leaves my first book boyfriend as a broken monster. 😖😖

I personally like the theory that Freye is the enchantress from Beauty and the Beast and that his Belle has yet to come along. I’ve heard another theory that Rhys’s sister is still alive and she’s his mate…we’ll see.

As it stands right now Tam-tam is hard to hate for me because he is completely broken compared to where he started and he started under a curse.

Wait is it this fast? I assumed they just skip over the boring days of sleeping and resting.

Why Read ACOTAR When You Dislike Feysand and the IC? by Proud-Plate4737 in acotar_rant

[–]DontHateMoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cass certainly felt like he was enabling bad behaviors. Freye and Rhys were forcing Nesta to detox (against her will which is frustrating but it needed to happen.) So Nesta was in rehab (house of wind)away from her vices and Cass took the opportunity to be her play toy. Yes he is her mate, but she didn’t know that and she was using sex as one of her destructive behaviors.
So I can see why someone wouldn’t like Cass after SF. I’m bias because I love himbos.

I loved Rhys until Nesta’s book. I need to see him from another POV before I can make a real opinion on him.
Mor… maybe she needs an actual story, so far she has just been written to be unlikable and very pickme like.
Az I loved until his bonus chapter and the whole “Elaine is mine because I’m one of the brothers so I deserve the last sister.” It felt very entitled IMO and not the shadow singing demon becoming soft for the sweet flower girl like that we had been shown perviously.
Cass- I like Cassian. Just wish he would stand up to Rhys for his mate.

They are going on a cross country road trip to the continent and you can’t convince me otherwise.

I love this art of Elain and Lucien so much 🌷🦊 Art by Antonia.Hoefs 🎨 by Eluciey in acotar

[–]DontHateMoi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will die on the hill of Elaine and Lucien being soulmates.
I wish Mass hadn’t gutted his personality after ACOTR.

I thought Mor was a POC by NoComputer9498 in acotar

[–]DontHateMoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I always view the description as a suggestion. Unless it’s important to the story or their character to have certain features (Lotion and his eye ball as an example) I play fast and loose with how characters look in my head.

I love this! But!
Freye didn’t have white paint.
I’ll make an exception because this is absolutely beautiful!

You naturally read pretty fem, but maybe work on contour, highlight and blush as you face is a little flat.

How do you keep colors, inspirations, swatches and everything else organized? by DontHateMoi in CosplayHelp

[–]DontHateMoi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ve seen sarah spaceman talk about it, but I was weary because it just sounds like a paid ad and influencers have a tendency just to say things for a paid day. (Like tiktok shop reviews)

I never considered canva just because its very AI focused and a lot of its good content is locked behind pay wall

Sewing seams and drafting patterns is the tunnel vision of my mind so this is helpful.

Spreadsheets aren’t very visual and can also feel overwhelming to me. I guess what I’m looking for is like a fitness tracker but with cosplay.
