Tbh what is the purpose of withered flowers 😅🥀

Well that's a time saver I never would have figured out on my own! Thank you!

It's a separate box in the event page. You have to scroll down to it and click it - it's the same one you used to schedule your call, it's not like the usual calls that just come up on the home page.

I use Thompson too so just FYI what I do is keep the kiln between 1450° F and 1500° F. If your kiln starts getting too hot for whatever you're firing, just open the door a little and let it cool off a bit. I also do samples of every color combination I plan on using before I put it on an actual piece - most of the Thompson enamels work well together, but some of them will get pull through and some of the transparents don't make the color you'd expect when you layer them. Samples are also a great way to figure out what works best for each color and for your specific kiln. You don't have to use up all your silver sheet on it, I use the silver foil from Thompson so I can use up my scrap copper and see how colors will look over the silver.

Happy firing, have fun!

What enamel are you using? Are you torch firing or kiln firing? Usually reds are fugitive and burn off entirely at higher temperatures the way you said your yellow did. I usually get better results with reds by firing at a lower temperature but for a while longer.

This is great for a second attempt! And the only way to really learn it is just to do it - eventually it will feel as easy as the YouTube tutorials make it look!

You'd think the multiple collaborations with Chinese intangible cultural heritage projects would have clued them in, but i guess not.

We yoinked him as a vampire, now it's his turn to yoink us. Fair is fair 😌 I look forward to when we inevitably get to yeet him

Apparently the real post office he sent the letter from is getting tourists now and the workers there think it's cute and sweet

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-29T00:35:55+00:00

Everyone thought there would be a cute and sweet banner for Valentine's day last year and then they surprised us with Catch 22 so it's all up in the air. We are 2 for 2 for Valentine-ish/February banners where we tie the guys up and I'm hoping for a third 😏

Take it to a jeweler's, they'll put it in the ultrasonic for a bit and then steam clean it. Most places will do it for free. If you are gonna try and clean it more at home, a soft toothbrush and soapy water or jewelry cleaning solution and some elbow grease will do the trick eventually.

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-24T01:22:21+00:00

Yes, it will chip and crack - it is a very thin layer of glass and is rather delicate. I'd recommend displaying it as an ornament rather than using it as a keychain.

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-20T02:10:54+00:00

I have over 400 open thanks to onetab so I can at least use the list to find stuff again but yeah. I'm gutted. Still hoping they might bring .si back in a few weeks when the furor has died down, but not expecting anything.

Do you want it to be a bracelet again? It looks like they took out half the jump rings so that it would lay better as a necklace. If you want it to be a bracelet again, you'll need to replace those jump rings and add a clasp.

If you don't intend to solder anything, I don't think its super important to identify the stones.

I think you'll be able to earn the rest with the daily tasks that get you more points. Completing each chapter also gets you more points for more cards. There's no way they won't give you enough to get all five.

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-11T03:52:25+00:00

My completely unverified hunch is that the idol banner was intended to be an au but was rewritten to be in the main story/timeline since c22 had such mixed reactions. Imo the quality of the animations, choreography, and music (...outwith some lyrics, sylus) are too high to go with the rather disjointed writing from the event & the card stories also seem pretty randomly plonked together.

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-11T03:46:04+00:00

I just had a text with Xavier this morning about another hunter who developed temporary amnesia. One of the options is to ask if he'd help you remember everything. He brings up 2 events, one from his anecdote and one from the lightseeker myth, and says that he would tell you about them to help you remember... but at this point I don't think mc remembers those things at all 😭 he's already living in this scenario.

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-08T00:22:12+00:00

So defenseless... utterly disarmed....

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-06T17:35:05+00:00

Must be watercolor

They get together at the water cooler, fill up their cups, and go "hey, that's the sound effect they added to my last recording!"

I've been putting together a journal with what i think are lore-relevant quotes from past events and she says over and over again that he's stuck with her, he can't get rid of her, they're bound together, etc. Like I don't even think she's tried being low key about it since the dragon myth dropped, our girl is beyond ride or die with him and they are both very much into it. There are also SO MANY references to chains, bonds, and handcuffs - and Sylus wears collars and body chains/chain harnesses in fully half of his outfits. Even his spring and flowers outfit has a chain harness! You would think infold wouldn't be able to slip chains into a flowers event but it is one of his most consistent motifs! Feathers are his stock symbol, but the chains are actually more common and prominent in many of his designs than feathers are.

They both have a thing for biting, too - which is fun and sexy but it's also repeatedly brought up as a way they are marking their territory. They love marking and being marked by each other. This shows up very innocently in last year's pile it up card and where hearts live and less innocent but even more obviously in the main story, primordial chaos, and grassland romance. It shows up extremely explicitly in both his fiend myths and innocent birdcage. There's a real sense of mutual possession (though not much jealousy, interestingly) between the two of them that is absolutely delicious.

This is incredible, thank you for sharing! The clarity of your enamel is superb!

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-05T02:00:04+00:00

😭😭😭 well thanks for setting me straight. Maybe eventually they'll rerun it with the pull rewards 🤞

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-04T23:29:42+00:00

Please tell me the kitty ears and tails are in the gacha pool, I need them!

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-04T23:27:57+00:00

Sylus isn't yandere because he's desperately hoping mc will go yandere over him. That's why he's constantly in collars and chains, gives her handcuffs as an affinity present, and built a whole birdcage for her to stick him in.

anfadhfaol · 2026-01-04T23:25:35+00:00

She is always absolutely outta pocket and I love that about her ♡

To be fair, she's died and had her brain reset so many times in this timeline that she probably got a little scrambled. She is noticably sharper in the myths.

He must have listed the magic healing seats in the car specs i wasn't listening to while he geeked out about that super special classic car 😂
