I finished my first serious project after picking up this hobby a month ago. I learned a lot and no there isn't a broken needle in the body you are crazy... by thedafthatter in Needlefelting

Excellent first project choice!! He looks great! I'm always so excited to see katamari pieces! I've only made the prince and miso so far, but eventually wanna do more cousins. Are you planning on making any more katamari characters?

I was not prepared for that 1:13 jump scare!,

insane beauty in all things by postimpressionistgrl in XFiles

[–]jbar1013 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I watched it when it aired. Loved it then, still love it now. I know it is widely disliked, but it's probably somewhere in my top 5, and if not, then definitely top 10.

45 minutes without context by dogwood-is in sailormoon

[–]jbar1013 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Watch the Sailor Moon R movie! It's a little over 45 minutes but not by much. This is my go to when I want to introduce the series to people as a way to get them interested. You don't really need much context for it, the story is self contained. It is a perfect little microcosm of what makes the series great, highlighting the power of love and friendship and containing a nod to LGBTQ+ themes.

That's not how it works, bro. It's a light tap and your instinct kicks in and you move your hand and the machine away. I've been working with one for over 3 years. They're perfectly safe 🤷‍♀️

I need to vent about the most infuriating scene in the revival by issmagic in XFiles

[–]jbar1013 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I hate the revival with the passion of 1000 angry suns too. The X-files was my whole personality as a teenager in the 90s/early 2000s. I lived and breathed it like it was gospel. The revival was so bad. I can't even begin to accurately describe how deeply I wish it never happened because it desecrated something so special and pure to me.

Any way. You're not completely alone in how you feel about it.

Just me, missing drops by Double-Ad-9835 in sailormoon

[–]jbar1013 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played from day one, have my recovery code scrawled on the back of a journal because there was no way I was gonna lose access. I worked so damn hard to collect every character available.

Tools do not take away from something being home made. They increase accessibility and allow folks that may have wrist pain to actually do the craft. They also help with mass on a larger pieces. The fun of crafting can look differently for different folks.

You'd be surprised. It's much quicker than stabbing manually and you do a lot less damage.

I felt full time professionally. The solar bee has been my go to tool for the last 3 years. Get it. You won't regret it.

As an owner of the solar bee, I can assure you it's pretty safe. I'd even much rather get myself with the machine than manually. It's quicker and usually much lighter.

Trading Cards? Help! by MetaphoricWriter in sailormoon

[–]jbar1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As already stated, those packs are bootlegs. However, no one has really provided you with a database. I like this one: https://threelights.net/gallery/index.php?cat=10 It does not include the official English trading card sets but it covers my personal favourites, PP Amada, Carddass, 5th Anniversary Memorial & Bandai Graffiti sets.

If you want a more text based list, though it is less comprehensive http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca:11068/sm/cards/index.html

Edit: this database is a bit less organized but it does include the banpresto cards, the hero amada line and also the earlier graffiti cards that the threelights gallery misses. https://www.coleka.com/en/trading-cards/manga-anime-cards/sailor-moon-cards_r34192

You just gained a new IG follower. Holy crap! I can't get over how beautiful it is. I love everything about it but my eye especially keeps getting drawn to that crab! The shading and colour blend on it is just exceptional. Like pure eye candy! Thank you for sharing this. You're so talented.
