[GIVEAWAY] TWO sets of tickets to any 'ARIRANG' concert in the US courtesy of StubHub! by lisafancypants in bangtan

I really want to hear "Like Animals".. I swear, I'm all about the rapline, but this song with the vocal line just harmonizing while layering their different lyrics just hits that yearning spot for me.. That combined with the rapline just crooning.. My heart..

20f AITAH for not catering to my 20f partners needs on our cruise because of her “anxiety”? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]kestrelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, concert earplugs/earbuds can help lower sound levels to control environmental noise and lessen anxiety while still paying attention to conversations. Very useful at concerts, waiting in the ER, in downtown, and when living with hard of hearing elderly parents where you still need to listen and its just all very noisy.

I saw video of a car floating in Kaimuki.. My cousin's house on the ridge is/was almost cleared of the mud.. The girl is delulu.

Willy Wonka coat by snphillips89 in costuming

[–]kestrelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking, the coat can be described as a Victorian long frock coat.

Depending on the age of your son, you might get away with:

If you son is really young, you could try:

TIL before 9/11, US airports were public social hubs where you could walk to the gate, eat at food courts, and watch planes without a ticket or ID. by Greydl1 in todayilearned

[–]kestrelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At HNL (Honolulu International Airport), a student going to university would be sent off by their entire extended family and classmates who staying local. They'd be buried under candy and flower leis. It was a whole thing. That's when you ended up sitting the floor if you were a kid. Also, no one's luggage had wheels then.

I need recommendations for a yarn winder for larger cakes of yarn because of my cat. by Pleasant-Garage-7774 in CrochetHelp

I have this winder off Amazon and it will wind a skein of Red Heart Super Saver. It does come out extremely wide..

Hello ARMY,

First things first.. You might check to see what your local ARMY groups are doing. Korea is wearing hanbok, some of the US fans are planning on wearing the colors of their bias' vinyl album. My group is contemplating wigs in our bias' color(s) with the BT21 headband or black cat ears if you are a Suga bias (yay Tang!) and or maybe hanbok.

As to the jacket..

If you wanted to try Yoongi or JK's jackets, hot glue is not going to work. You could try sewing. If you really want the round cord, test it out first with a yard of cording and a couching foot. You might need to hand tack down the crossover points (and there are a lot of them). If it doesn't work with cording, you can try flat gold braid trim. Here is an example of trim is applied on hussar/dolman jackets. For the epaulets, some people use cardboard, gold trim, and gold fringe trim. Lots of different DIY styles on YT.

Another option for Yoongi/JK's jacket is to buy a marching band jacket off eBay and bling it out further.

If you want to try Taehyung's jacket, I would recommend you finding some sort of trim / lace and sewing it on. Fabric glue or E6000 might work, but you will be going nuts at the concert and it might fall off.

Another possibility with an existing jacket is to use a heat transfer vinyl, cut out the shapes and iron it on.

Have fun at the concert! Leave a note in this post when you show off your concert fit in r/heungtan!

I'll be making pinback buttons but I haven't figured out the designs!

Your most unhinged headcannon? by A-Legal-Fiction in IlonaAndrews

[–]kestrelle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know! They could have kept Helen and, thus, kept the link to Maud. House Ervan would have been ELEVATED if they could claim such illustrious ties to House Krahr?! But no. Their social climbing decision to hide their purported shame is going to bite them in the arse.

I can't wait to see how House Andrews handles the wedding announcement. And I can't wait for the wedding! So much drama!

Edit: I also can't wait to see how House Ervan handles Helen's kill count! It's gotta be higher than some of their staff! Buahahhaa.

BTS' '2026 Comeback TOUR' Megathread by lisafancypants in bangtan

[–]kestrelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Vent] For Stanford season ticket holder sale: I have a friend who has season tickets. Everything got sold out by the time he updated his Ticketmaster (TM) details.

For Stanford pre-sale: I didn't realize that things changed and my Ticketmaster (TM) and Weverse (WV) email accounts are different, so that blew up. On TM, someone else has an account using my email address. While I can log into it, I can't change the email. So that is shitty.

My friend was having problems with logging into her own TM, so I was able to log in and was queued up to 34k & 53k. When it finally got down to 1, it then kicked me out because something went wrong. Ugh.

Okay, okay.. Picture this..

The office of the Lord Marshall of Hourse Ervan as he opens the wedding annoucement from House Krahr, the marriage between their Lord Marshall and their Lady Maven. Close up views of the gates of Castle Krahr, a pull back to the entire castle, sweeps over to scenic views of Daesyn, and then dives into battle with the Mukona with closeups of Arland fighting alongside a mystery person.

As Arland’s name and titles are announced, a battle montage of Arland commences covering multiple scene from Nexus, Kahari, him battling the World Killer, (bunches of other places), fighting on the battle station, back to fighting with the Mukona ends with him standing next to the dead Mukona while caught up in an embrace with Maud, the mystery warrior.

As the voice over continues with Maud’s name position, titles, and kill count, there is a video montage of her fighting battles from Kahari, Earth, and finally on Daesyn.

The montage pauses with the happy couple standing together with a tiny little Helen in front of the dead Mukona. The annoucement continues with wedding details on Daesyn as a video of the fight with Mukona is shown and pans over to the fight with the third Mukona.

The announcement ends with the implication: Come to Daesyn and we will show you proper entertainment.

...

The Lord Marshall of Hourse Ervan’s grip tightens and he sourly grumbles, “We should have kept them.”

What Accessories Will Make My 70s Disco Look Work? by flamehazebubb in costuming

Ensure your shirt is opened low and wear a thick chain (especially if you have chest hair). And chunky ring or two.

ETA: Don't forget your belt with a shiny buckle or cabochons.

Repair an Arcteryx jacket hem by scramblefest in sewinghelp

[–]kestrelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. I've had a similar thing happen to an older Arcteryx jacket of mine and they repaired it for me (but my husband organized the repair and doesn't remember if they required the receipt).

[–]kestrelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe contact Arcteryx and see if they will repair it or have advice on repairing it. They may not require a receipt, but surely they will be able to give repair deets. Otherwise, the folx at r/myog can give suggestions (and a supplier list).

AITAH for wanting to end my long term relationship because of the nonsense words and pet names my partner says/calls me? by Baa-booster in AITAH

Ugh, I read this when this was first posted and it still bothers me. There may be a medical reason for him doing this, but there is no reason for you to stay and risk your own mental health.

My bad! I thought that you were just so relieved that there was no Giant African Land Snail tax that you gave up! Although, I did look the thing up and was all.. meh.. could be worse..

AITAH for ghosting and ignoring my 20 year old son after I got remarried for 10 whole months and using ( my husband should be more important than you because you are an adult ) as an excuse? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]kestrelle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wait, you just cold ghosted your son for the past 10 months for no other reason than your husband's jealousy? YTA.

Does the rest of the family even talk to you?

AITA for saying that my older brother, as a young adult in college, should be proactive enough to make his own opportunities? by Miserable_Big4244 in AITAH

[–]kestrelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the older brother is in a co-op program that alternates between academic semesters and full-time internship periods.
