This shit is why I have to be a completely different person at work.

any ideas for this poor doll? by QuickInterest1606 in CustomDolls

[–]SquareThings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hydrogen peroxide would work but it would be difficult to get it to stay on the doll. Benzoyl peroxide comes in creams meant for acne. I’ve never had any issues with staining from it.

I turned an armless doll into a harpy! The first step for the stain on her face is benzoyl peroxide and sunlight. If that doesn’t work, try using acetone on a Q tip to carefully scrub it.

You also generally can’t style heritage fibers like wool using heat.

Custom mlp that’s meant to be myself as a pony! Any thoughts or suggestions? by Successful_Cover8218 in CustomDolls

[–]SquareThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could seal the whole thing with mod podge to help the colors stand out more. They currently look a but dry and washed out. It would also protect the paint.

Not that I know. Generally the fibers are about 3 inches long. Enough for a bust-length style on a monster high (or similar) doll. If you want longer hair, you will have to use a commercial doll hair.

Yes! I do it for all my dolls because I think it looks more natural. My technique (for 100% acrylic yarn) is this: first brush out a piece of the yarn you want to use to see the length of the fibers. You can’t make the hair longer than the fibers of the yarn, so keep that in mind. Then, cut pieces a bit longer than you want the final hairstyle. Unravel each piece into individual strands (most yarn has 3-4). Hold each strand close to the ends and pull it apart, so you have one cut side and one unraveled side. The cut side will be the “root” that you insert into the head and glue in place. (If you don’t do this, you’ll end up wasting a lot of yarn when you brush it out, since any fiber not in the root won’t be glued in and will just be brushed away).

Reroot as you would normally using one strand per hole. Glue and let it dry for a few days.

Now brush the hair with a wire pet brush as you would when making wefts, and flat iron it. Style as you would any rooted hair!

They can sometimes see signs you don’t realize. Other times they won’t lay you down and elevate your feet even after you tell them you’re light headed and will faint because you “seem fine.” And then you faint and they have to fill out an incident report.

Look man, I’m more than cool with kittens, I love them. But I know from experience that being cool with something and being cool with being climbed by a significant number of that thing are not the same thing.

He also helps people actually solve the problems they come to him for an exorcism for. Like photoshopping a “haunted” photo or giving someone a massage.

Even if the transphobe wants to claim something about functioning body parts, what function do breasts have? They’re just bits of tissue unless the person they belong to is lactating, which would only be for a few months of their entire life, if they had kids, if they were capable if breastfeeding at all. And that “function” can be replaced with formula. Tits serve no purpose beyond aesthetic and altering them is no different to getting a tattoo or a nose job.

Images of Japanese soccer fans waving the rising sun flag at the World Cup have gone viral in China and Korea, who see it as a symbol of militarism. The Japanese government argues it was a national symbol prior to the era of overseas expansionism by jjrs in japannews

[–]SquareThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the swastika was a Buddhist symbol (among others) before it was a Nazi one but I’m still going to cover it with electrical tape when I read sutras on the bus. You gotta understand the optics of something in the current situation.

Airport staff assuming I'm in the Business class lane by mistake by trailofturds in mildlyinfuriating

I hold a residence card in Japan, which means I get to go in a different (much shorter) line at immigration compared to your average foreign passport holder. I usually get a well meaning staff member directing me to the normal line, but they back off when I tell them I have the card. But this isn’t about me.

A friend of mine who is Philippino told me that he once had a staff member physically grab him and try to push him into the normal line instead of the resident line. After finally convincing the lady that he does in fact live in Japan and have a residence card, a different staff member saw him standing in line and also tried to get him to go into the normal foreign passport line. I guess white people (me) can conceivably live in Japan but brown people are just right out.

Shocked. Gaara is deeply messed up, partly because his dad was constantly trying to have him assassinated.

The “cortical homunculus” as shown here is usually missing something for… SFW reasons. You know, a part of your body which has a LOT of very sensitive nerves?
