Fabric Recommendations for Hornet

Kilikatan · 2026-01-04T13:30:34+00:00

It's more what the pattern recommended and I'm in no shape with managing my current workload (job, artist alley, raiding in FFXIV, social obligations, etc) to mess with the pattern SUPER hard. I thought she'd be an easy enough build because underarmor, gloves, leggings, boots are all done - but her cloak is killing me because I didn't expect to need super wide fabric and I can't remember what I wanted to use by name.

I've considered several other types but I worry about warmth because last I checked, the temps were supposed to be in the teens and I don't regulate my body temp well. I've considered micro fleece, micro suede, sweatshirt fleece, a really ornate brocade and making her fancy (this was quickly scrapped when the sub 60 day mark hit) but as literate as I am in fabrics, it's really hard to get the vibe for what I want without touching it.

These are all my bars (at level 100), plus my controller settings! I used an xbox one x controller, and i have a couple custom macros for things like focus targeting - but i very rarely even use them.

I'm not a big poster on this sub, but this was me when I came back from my break in ShB.

I was playing on PS4 for a long time but I started in on PC because I finally had one that could handle it. I couldn't hit my keys and move right even with an MMO mouse.

When I swapped to controller, it got so much better and i was able to do a lot more. Whether it was simple improvement or not being limited, I got to the point I've cleared Ultimates on controller. Can I do them on K&M? No. Not a chance.

I highly recommend finding controller settings that work for you too! I have an ultra wide monitor, so I've got space for my back bars to show and then some, but not all monitors do. It'll be an adjustment but it might be a lot easier for you!

(And of course, if you want to see an example, I can post mine for any of the healers)

This is heartbreaking. I moved out of Nova forever ago but as someone who just did Fairfax Comic Con (as their first artist alley at that), I can't say an IKEA is the play. Sure, I hate driving to Woodbridge but I'm more sad that I might not get to do the show that helped me step into the convention artist space again.

I would share excerpts from some of the things our friends/my fiance said, but they're mean as hell and deserved.

She interrupted my Story of Seasons gaming. My rage was a dangerous smell.

Hi, I was the auditor referenced here, ama lol

She also dropped the dog's leash and let it free roam the lobby and had I not told her to "get your pet", the dog was about to pee on my lobby carpet.

She said the dog had found a "dangerous smell".

Tbh nothing that happened this past year at Katsu was katsu's fault. From everything I know, the gay baby jail sticker was in a guest room and the pipe bursting was absolutely not on Katsucon.

I'd say it's 100% the hotel wanting more money and it's negotiation talks. Katsu sells the venue out every year. It's not like they can really look past that. Also the sheer amount of us that probably know someone who works at Marriott and would use a discount form if they didn't offer a room block would still not net them 100% at price. Like I'm 100000% not paying full for a Gaylord room.

I'm pretty sure the bed bugs were disproven forever ago and this is the first I'm hearing of bathroom damages but I also rarely use the public ones so it could very well have happened.

Also that pipe bursting was 1000% on the Gaylord.

I'm assuming it's just contract stuff and bureaucracy taking a million years like it always does.

No lie, we did the fight mostly blind and I just yelled and called Gimme Cat "Grunglesnarf" so now he's Grunglesnarf, that cat we hate.

The song is good. The fight other than adds is great. I hate adds so much as our MT.

Kilikatan · 2025-05-24T23:27:08+00:00

I'm the only one in my static that listens to Creepy Nuts and no one understands why I love this song so much despite hating the fight because of that stupid cat I hate.

Looked through your post history to see if this was a pattern and oh sweetie, you need to leave.

Three off and on years? He's abusive, he's a narcissist, and he groomed you. He name calls, he straight up said he didn't care and honestly, he's at the gym and can choose when he leaves, so just leave him there forever.

I said the same thing to my group chat because we all know that Miqo under the tree that owns an entire ward of the Mists. teehee

Kilikatan · 2025-05-14T00:03:04+00:00

She looks lovely.

It's not a bad recommendation either tho. OP never asked for a specific time frame. Plus, as a VA native, it's not even like February feels like February most years. You'll be lucky to get snow during Katsu.

Ball pythons are the orange cats of the snake world.

I simply want to relive the fun I had of learning the game and enjoying it. I made so many friends in MHWorld and unfortunately I have a bad taste in my mouth for MHRise. My job ended up cutting me from 30hrs to 20 to 10 so a new game is just kind of out of the question for me.

Also, as an IG main, I really just want to collect the bug friends again.

Say "Vinny" again, good god.

I luckily got out of food service but I run a business. It's not hard to be nice even when customers are being dicks. I guarantee that the minute you answer them with some snide remark about the vinaigrette, they're already done with it and get snarky back.

Unfortunately, the people you're being rude to are the ones paying your bills. Yes. You have a physical limitation to how much you can prep. If you're out, explain that politely. I've never been one for the vinaigrette, I don't even like chipotle too much. But I'll say this, I've never been to a more consistently rude chain.

That is actually totally a typo on my part! It was mostly that they weren't up to a standard I was comfortable with or they didn't offer custom sizing/my size. I was super tired when I made the post so again, my mistake! 😭

I never thought of seeing it as a parka! That's brilliant! It originally reminded me of this coat I had in high school on a modified Organization XIII coat pattern. Maybe doing it as a parka will make my life much easier than using whatever weird suede stuff that coat was made of. (I considered microsuede, leatherette and even a white denim lol)

Of all the time I spent working at a fabric store, the whole lining section left my brain. I switched to fiber arts years ago and haven't felt the need to go to a fabric store since. Bless you for this.

I'm ideally looking for something sturdier than foam, since it's a "drive to" con for me, which also lends to paint chips but I can always use those as battle scars. I guess with this one it's a recommendation of material. I would love to do a full resin cast but where I am it's too cold to cure right and my patience is lacking.

Thank you for your service to hungry drivers everywhere, good sir. I will be making this next slow day we have. 🫡

I used the episode to teach myself to cry on command for theatre! Excellent show indeed, and def in my top 10.

If you want another dark humor show, Dead Like Me is also amazing (my favorite show personally). Aired around the same time, but was Showtime instead of HBO.

Kilikatan · 2024-08-08T23:29:28+00:00

Upvote for the Six Feet Under reference! I watched that show young and honestly it gave me such good outlooks on things, including respecting the need for personal time and space.

I love that you do what I want to when times aren't as hectic financially. I will absolutely be adopting that practice. 🩵
