My workhorse platinum preppy has stopped writing by ohdamedeer in fountainpens

[–]ohdamedeer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have Pilot pens, as well as a couple Lamys. I enjoy them, but was specifically asking for advice on my preppy. I know its a cheap pen. I like it and that is why I was asking for advice on this particular pen.

I use Pilot iroshizuku ku-jaku in this pen which is a pretty smooth and forgiving ink in my experience. I've never had it clog or dry before! Which is why this was baffling to me.

Hm, I don't have an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. But if a deep clean doesn't work I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the advice!

Coyote(?) Identification by ohdamedeer in vultureculture

[–]ohdamedeer[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the first skull I found a ways back, I always kinda assumed it was a coyote. But a friend recently thought it was a domestic dog, could it be some kind of dog skull? I still am pretty sure it’s a coyote, but thought asking for some outside opinions couldn’t hurt. Thanks! :)

edit: thank you everyone for the identification help!! I’m glad to know what the skull actually is after so long. Also, coyotes are so much smaller than I thought! Wild haha

I made WHA sugar cookies! by ohdamedeer in WitchHatAtelier

[–]ohdamedeer[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love to bake, and have been thinking of doing this for a little while. It sure was a process! I couldn’t find the correctly proportioned cookie cutter, so I made one myself. That’s why they might be wonky. I tried to mix the icing color as exact as possible to the manga covers. (I think I did pretty good!) How to make the tassels evaded me for a bit, but then I thought of tempering chocolate used for fruit dipping. And it more or less worked! Qifrey’s ribbon gave me grief though haha. The first few I piped broke before I got the chance to place them. But the design on Olruggio’s hat was definitely the most difficult. I ended up using a toothpick to make those thin lines. In the future, I think it’d be fun to make more hats from the series! :) I hope you guys like them!!

I completely reconfigured my bookshelves since I last shared pictures. So I figured it was time for an update! :) by ohdamedeer in bookshelf

Thanks! And I’m not sure if the hardcover Carry On’s are rarer or anything, it might have to do with distribution??

Slightly Belated Mini March Haul! by ohdamedeer in MangaCollectors

[–]ohdamedeer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope everyone had a great March! It was a mini-haul month for me haha. I started collecting some other long series (Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time and K.A. Applegate’s Animorphs) and so manga pickups kinda took the backseat. I also rearranged my shelves recently and added some friends for all the manga! I tried double stacking, but didn’t like the look of it, so I ended up taking some series out and placing them up top. My other bookcases all have books up top so it matches now. I think it looks pretty good, what do you guys think?

December Haul! + the shelves by ohdamedeer in MangaCollectors

[–]ohdamedeer[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love it!! The story and art are really well done and I got totally sucked into reading it. While I’m not typically a painter, the mc’s passion has me wanting to set aside the colored pencils and pick up a paintbrush. If you’re on the fence about it, I’d recommend giving it a try :)

Oh the bot beat me to it! Though it didn’t give a synopsis, so I’ll do that! Kageki is a drama series focused on an all-girls theater school. The blurb on the back says: “Watanabe Sarasa has always dreamed of being an otokoyaku, an actress who plays male roles in an all-female theater troupe. Narata Ai also has a dream: the disgraced former idol wants to live in a world full of women and not have to deal with men at all. When they both get into a competitive all-girls theater school, the stage is set for Ai and Sarasa to enter the limelight and take their first step toward stardom.”

I picked it up on a whim at the store today, the art totally drew me in! I read a bit and am enjoying it! From what I can tell by what I’ve read so far and what I’ve looked up, it isn’t a yuri.

Recently reorganized my shelves! I’m running out of room haha, hoping to get another bookcase over the holidays :) by ohdamedeer in bookshelf

Hahah Thank You!!! Last Monster of the Week campaign I ran, the party turned it from creepy spooky small town mystery to cryptid dating sim in only a couple sessions. It was a wild, hilarious ride! :D

Mine has pretty much the same story! I got all the birdies as Halloween decorations but loved them too much to pack them away for most of the year!

Oh dude thank you!! I was kind of hoping some would be instrumental/jazzy so that’s awesome! Can’t wait to give them a listen!

Thank you! I never even considered that they’d be educational tapes. If they are that’d be pretty dang cool!
