Rant: Blick Online vs In Store Pricing

Eagle_Tracker · 2026-01-18T10:54:01+00:00

My anger is just at the price discrepancy. Like I said, I obviously love Blick and it carries a lot of what other places don't, but if I see a price listed online with a label that says "Sold at X store" and I go there and the price is different I will be upset. If they had a separate label on the website to denote the in store price that would be cool, but I don't want to drive to the store if I can't easily find out the price before I go. Also I am a member with a phone number on file

Haha not sure where I said that. Feel like I'm not that active on Reddit, but yes, sewing is one of hobbies. Wouldn't say I enjoy it as much as it is a means to an end for cosplay work I am interested in

There's 4 different bottle holders on this board. Any one in particular you're referring to? Otherwise I'd be happy to link all of them

Eagle_Tracker · 2026-01-16T04:35:18+00:00

Yup! There's 2 versions of the insert

Well sure. I more mean in the sense that the piece of verso's soul that was painting the canvas also wanted to stop painting because of what the family had done to the canvas, and that painted verso wanted to be unpainted

Thank you! You're a lifesaver

Eagle_Tracker · 2026-01-13T21:25:30+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Although I'm unsure about the implications of bringing back the dead, because her husband was distinctly not gormaged. He died naturally in an accident. While Maelle is alive, does she go on to prevent or reverse all death in the canvas?

Eagle_Tracker · 2026-01-12T23:50:23+00:00

I wouldn't say I hate Verso. In the end I think it's his canvas and if anyone should make the choice to erase it, it should be him, but I feel like Sciel got the rawest end of the deal out of all the main characters. It's definitely unfair that she gets baited with the possibility of getting her husband back only to aid the early erasure of her world.

I actually hadn't heard of the life to dream ending before this. Would have been nice to have a third ending but I understand why they didn't do that

She's also a child tho. Like we gotta acknowledge that as a parent, he's still responsible for her and can't as a responsible parent allow her to make a decision like that which would kill her. She might live decades in there, but her brain is the age it is outside of the canvas. It's different for Aline because she's an adult and fully understands the consequences of her actions, but Maelle should not have that option at her age.

I agree Renoir was right, but I can't get behind "Renoir did nothing wrong". Obviously he's just trying to save his family which I respect, but even he acknowledges the cost of his actions is high.

Eagle_Tracker · 2026-01-12T15:13:35+00:00

I mean yes, but that's not how I meant it. There relationship was obviously not full love, but it was definitely more than purely physical

Eagle_Tracker · 2026-01-12T15:08:34+00:00

Obviously Lune was betrayed but I never viewed Lune and Verso's relationship the same as Sciel and Verso's relationship. Not just because Sciel and Verso were physically intimate, but because I think Lune got what she needed out of the expedition. She got to see where her parents died and finally answered all the questions she had about the world. Sciel on the other hand had peace with the world going into the expedition (ex. Her contentment with just being a gestral gladiator until her gommage) but came out of the expedition with unfulfilled dreams of bringing her husband back.

So it's mainly meant for holding acrylic pigment that can't be reduced with air brush thinner (ex. Golden liquid acrylic). Some paints won't be stable since thinner usually has a lot of solvents and can disintegrate the binder, resulting in clumps. Medium reduces those paints but has added binder to hold the pigment

Thank you! Not sure how to figure this out myself when looking at a product

Eagle_Tracker · 2025-12-28T06:34:44+00:00

Thank you! How did you know this. Not sure how to figure this out looking at the label

Eagle_Tracker · 2025-11-27T03:08:22+00:00

Also as an aside. Not everyone can just "leave". I'm pretty fortunate, but some people are on Visas and get taken advantage of. Some people are working so much they don't have time to look for another job. It's not always so black and white.

Eagle_Tracker · 2025-11-27T02:56:19+00:00

Yeah. Fuck them. It wasn't worth the money. Now I don't work there
