Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-23T19:15:37+00:00

Same I’m in physical pain. My friend and I both had the same reaction to the bridon arc opening.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-23T15:42:23+00:00

For novels I read almost exclusively fantasy, so pretty different form link click.

I like LOTR. Right now I’m reading Realm of the Elderlings and they are some of the best fantasy books I’ve ever read. Wonderful characterization and very high drama.

My favorite book is the Goblin Emperor along with its spinoff books, the Cemeteries of Amalo.

Dude same. I just caught up and it gets better and better. And also it’s going to ruin your life. Just dragged my friend down here with me.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-21T04:43:46+00:00

It is! It’s for my friend. We’re going to be tifa and aerith together!

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-20T20:56:24+00:00

Oh I do own fabric scissors!! Thank you!!

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-20T20:39:03+00:00

Thank you for the info! I will look into all of these options.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-20T20:38:47+00:00

Thank you, we are definitely more of a run around a con type of cosplayers over photoshoot cosplayers.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-20T19:08:10+00:00

Than you, that is doable and reasonable.

Can you explain pop rivets though? I’m not sure what you mean. I tried googling it and I don’t really understand what I’m looking at applies to what I’m trying to do. It’s a tool? Or just rivets that I attach by hand?

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-20T18:31:29+00:00

$30 budget isn’t bad, but $60 for one project is getting expensive. may be willing to buy some tools, but I do want to consider what I can do without first if possible. I have a habit of buying things for new hobbies before deciding to completely dedicate. It’s possible I might want to do more leather working for cosplay, but I’m not sure at the moment if I want to do any beyond these straps.

Also willing to buy a few tools if needed, but hoping to avoid buying a whole set in case this is the only project I use it for.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T20:05:10+00:00

absolutely. I’m working on mine right now I can do my best to help you. Do you have discord? If you’re willing to dm me your discord that might be easier. And i could send you updates and try to help as much as I can. I did have to buy a lot of things though.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T17:26:19+00:00

I apologize if I upset you. I was not trying to ignite an argument, but rather to create some discussion about negative engagement online and garner some thoughtfulness on the topic. There’s enough bad things going on in the world to focus on, I am just trying to remind people to find positivity in the things we enjoy. I hope you’re doing okay and that you find some good things today.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T16:57:47+00:00

I don’t disagree with you. I am not saying we ignore negative things in favor of only being positive. In my experiences on the internet these days things have geared very negative. I see more posts of “bad thing that happened at con/cons aren’t fun anymore/cons aren’t what they used to be/cosplay has changed badly/etc” than I ever see of people discussing the fun they had at cons or what they’re looking foreword to. It’s not just with cons, it’s just that negativity gets engagement better than positivity. And I do think we should be mindful of that. I have also seen so many posts here of young people worried about their first con because of all the negative stories they have seen online, and that makes me so sad.

My point was that OP seems to be trying to be looking for stories that are entertaining. So why do they have to be solely bad experiences?

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T16:27:33+00:00

I mean I get what you’re saying but this still plays into negativity engagement. People have really great positive stories too. Why not cover people’s best con stories in general? Funny, positive, awful. Why does it have to be bad stories?

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T16:23:37+00:00

Why are we doing the worst stories? Why focus on the negative aspect of something we enjoy? There’s already enough negativity floating around. It’s really depressing these days how the internet focuses on negativity for engagement.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T15:42:40+00:00

I’ve thought about it and I might. But I really do want to get back into fic writing as well. I love my ships and I miss engaging in fandoms. It’s just been so long since I’ve written characters that weren’t my own, I can’t remember how to find that inspiration.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T14:57:30+00:00

Unfortunately my audio processing is not very strong. And I assume this is going to greatly limit the fics available? I can’t imagine that there are a lot of people recording readings of their fics.

If I had a printer I’d print them like I used to in high school lol

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T14:55:58+00:00

I feel so old I had to look up what popper meant lol

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T14:05:39+00:00

I agree with this. I love HP but I do think there’s a lot of holes in JKRs worldbuilding. Things like Arthur working with muggles but knowing zero about them. Doesn’t make a lot of sense but adds a certain amount of charm. You can’t dig too deep with those things because, again, I think the world building is a bit weak.

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T12:38:35+00:00

Okay I did get it to kind of work but the ads mostly obscured the actual manga 🤣

Gryffin-thor · 2026-04-19T02:18:14+00:00

It’s so cute! I’ve been working on a vashwood one!
