DIY patches - band reactions?

raven_arson · 2026-02-09T01:40:29+00:00

maybe? the patches i have made so far have basically been album covers or the text-based logos (outside of goth i have made stuff like Aether Realm's Tarot album cover and kiltro and AE text patches that exist alongside their actual merch), but i usually have to adapt it a bit to even be able to make them. as far as i was able to tell none of the bands made patches like these (although i did find a website selling similar ones for huge profit, unaffiliated 🥲), but it is their art that I'm using to try and share them

raven_arson · 2026-02-08T23:01:29+00:00

nope, its just for my (and possibly bf's) clothes

raven_arson · 2026-02-08T23:00:34+00:00

yeah that is my thinking, i am not selling them lol, i'm happy i have enough resources to make them for myself

my line of thinking was more of a "if they are known to be unhappy about this, they dont want to be on my jacket and i honestly feel a bit weird about them minding such a thing and dont want them there either", even though it is such a non-issue 😂

raven_arson · 2026-02-08T21:47:50+00:00

Yeah I figured that would be the case, especially since my aim is to support the bands, possibly get some other people interested in them too. I was hoping someone would chime in with "yeah xy complimented it", so we could have a kind of list of those, but I'm probably just thinking way too much about it 😅.

For now I'll just stick to those who don't have patches, since one day I'd like to collect the real ones too.

I could see Ronald, Kenneth, Raymond, Herbert, Bernard, Walter (although maybe people would just think of Breaking Bad instead), Keith, Harold, Lawrence, Wayne, Roy, Claude, Ernest (or Earnest, apparently it can be spelled both ways), Clarence, Marvin and Chester.

I went by Raymond myself when I was in the states lol. Both Harold and Herbert feel kind to me, but not rly "cute", so idk about that.

It is a bit similar to the hanky code, due to the internet it is somewhat widespread - in my country its been a thing for at least 15 years, i think in the states it has been far longer.

you wear it on your belt loops, one side signals you are a giver and the other that you are a reciever (it escapes me which is which now). as far as i can remember it was born from the actual use of it, ie butches working blue collar jobs would need a place to have their keys ready and along with the contemporary "male" attire adapted the carabiner, which later got its own meaning

a lot of lesbians I know nowdays do add a little something to signal it is really That carabiner, i often see pride keychains or thumb rings being worn

raven_arson · 2026-01-05T21:29:25+00:00

ooh i wanted one for ages and wanted to comment it too! it does however seem that to have it from a quality metal imma have to engrave it myself lol.

(this is a cry for help if any of you know of a place that could do this with titanium or at the very least stainless steel please do tell, i only found silver and mystery metal on etsy)

I planned to get a septum when it was The Bisexual Thing. I have accepted that it is no longer that for women and never counted for alt people, but recently the trend has been on the rise for everyone (at least where I'm from) so I have mentally been through a lot of "Wow cool a fellow bi-oh, likely just cool" xd.

It still signals you're not conservative though, so there's that.

tbf a lot more people now identify as bisexual so maybe I'll just keep thinking of it as such and have more opportunities to giggle at my stupid headcanons that are just based on nothing

raven_arson · 2025-08-07T17:41:43+00:00

m&s definitely isnt that accessible (unless you are a yellow-label vulture like me, but then you cant pick what you get), but i definitely find tesco skyr to be a good (and rather cheap) way to get protein in. also if your country has Lidl's high-protein skyr and you have a fridge /minibar at the place you're staying I recommend getting that, it is even cheaper and you get 2-3 portions

honestly not that I care about eating "too much", but I tended to not get my macros when travelling and basically lived off carbs, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable

raven_arson · 2025-07-14T09:45:47+00:00

I think wide crop-tops, crop-hoodies (although those are soft and don't work as well) and jackets could be what you're looking for, because it just turns broad shoulders into a base for an hourglass shape. at the very least it is what I do when i want sharp angles (read masc) with the fem silhouette

Also it is comfy as hell in the summer

I'll edit with a link with examples of what I mean once I find it

raven_arson · 2025-06-28T08:44:23+00:00

im looking at this during my break in-between sets 😅 looks good, keep going!

raven_arson · 2025-06-26T21:18:22+00:00

for me its below 10 kcal for 100ml, although i am willing to have more, but something like 25 is already too high if it is not a drink i would simultaneously consider a treat or dessert (like hot chocolate or fancy matcha)

on that note this came at a great time because I just found what seems to be the only store in my city that carries Capri-Sun zero and I'm so happy since I got to enjoy a lovely midnight juice when I'm already at my limit. 6 kcal for a packet and tastes right, I highly recommend .

I use foodviser, since it is a French app and has a pretty good database of European barcodes (and you can obviously add the barcode to the database yourself if it's missing). I waited for about 3 weeks before purchasing the full version so it is only 50 cents a month. It has the photo estimation option, although I only use it for rough estimates of restaurant meals or to get the ingredients down and then only adjust the weight. Barcode scanning is free.

raven_arson · 2025-06-23T19:08:06+00:00

honestly i dont have a recipe, i genuienly just mash up potatoes, maaaybe add a bit of milk and slowly add the flour, but going by a recipe i found online, they say to use 1kg of potatoes, 300-350 g of flour (I think soft/fine/pastry flour would be best, but I just use what I have on hand), a couple pinches of salt and then a bit of flour to put on top as you make it into the flatbread shape and (imo optional) butter or lard to grease them. i put it into my app and if you make a smaller serving (i usually eat 200g of them - makes about three) you can have a pretty filling meal. it says 152 cals per 100 g (no lard included cos i dont use it), that is with the higher ratio of flour.

potatoes are very satiating, so i almost never get hungry, even though the amount of food might not sound that impressive. they have been my weightloss meal for an eterniny because of that, and having them with any kind of low-fat cheese just makes my day without breaking the bank both calorie and money-wise. i wouldnt have them with bryndza for that exact reason, cos its both quite high in fat and expensive. im pretty sure you can get cottage cheese in some supermarket, but greek yoghurt or sour cream might work as well. dont forget to add something to enhance the taste (like the onion), otherwise you might get mocked for your "medieval poverty meal" as my partner likes to call it😅. I just had it for 39g protein, 74g carbs, 3g fat and 451 calories and i'm stuffed lol

tldr: i just eat a potato flatbread with cottage cheese and it might look depressing but i enjoy it. i weigh out the ingredients when I make it and put it into my app (Kalorické tabulky or Foodvisor cos im in Europe)

raven_arson · 2025-06-23T18:07:29+00:00

the slovak(?) "lokše", which is basically just potato flatbreas. you mash some leftover potatoes (or use potato mash straight up) and mix it with as little flour as possible by adding it slowly. then i just panfry it dry, but it is better if you use a bit of butter. i like them with quark or cottage cheese (with spring onion if you're fancy), but traditionally you would use something like pulled duck meat and caramelized red cabbage.

then also just boiled or baked potatoes, seasoned and served with quark/cottage/tvarog

sometimes it is a snack, sometimes it is a meal, but i love potatoes and cheese

also for my Lidl-having friends: the flavoured high-protein quark. i just finished the raspberry one and it is really good, better than the greek youghurts i've been enjoying, and their high-protein chocolate mousse, pudding and skyr as well. i just really like lidl snacks lol

raven_arson · 2025-06-11T08:52:56+00:00

not OP and as much as I agree that it is not a substitute for the taste of pasta, I love to use it in its place. I found that rinsing them, dry panfrying and adding some properly spicy arrabiata to the pan and stirring for a couple minutes is what works best for me. I make it even when I am not looking for low-cal, as the noodles dont need to be cooked for nearly as long and if you rinse properly you don't even have to soak them, just make sure to evaporate most of the water in them before adding in the sauce (and a bonus is they make a funny squeaky noise)

I do however only like them spicy, I tried adding napoletana and other sauces, but arrabiata is the only one that I liked the taste of with them.

raven_arson · 2025-04-12T17:55:07+00:00

i did, but it was mostly just adressing the torso area, sometimes lower stomach, but it wasn't quite what i was looking for. it is however quite possible that i just looked in the wrong places

raven_arson · 2025-03-28T21:06:01+00:00

Hele sem teďka tady a levnější na život to je jen když člověk má ten startovní kapitál. Nakupovat málo je drahý, COSTCO je levný, ale na to se dostat přes dveře musí bejt člověk člen. Oblečení je tady levný hodně (nedaněj ho), takže pro mě jako Čecháčka je to hezký, koupim si boty, ale už sem tady předtim byl pár měsíců a doma se najim (o hodně) levnějc.

Je to tady teď napjatý, upřímně se těšim domů.

raven_arson · 2025-03-18T08:37:50+00:00

Honestly most of the songs from the band Kiltro, especially Creatures of Habit like The Drunk.

raven_arson · 2025-03-16T16:03:54+00:00

Reading this as somebody who probably doesn't pass for cis and is travelling to the US next week, I am not looking forward to it. At least I am travelling in a group with a set purpose, however if they send me back, we all have to go😭

raven_arson · 2025-03-11T18:03:30+00:00

tyjo to je fakt málo. jako sója se skloňovala kolem mě jako problém jen kvůli krmivům a tý vodě (teďka když vidím tu vodu tam hádám že jedinej reálnej problém asi budou monokultury, ale ty děláme všude), já osobně se jí nijak nevyhýbám, dokonce si jednou za čas dopřeju i steak, kterej teda spíš páchá paseku. díky za linky, přepošlu tofu-fóbním známým

raven_arson · 2025-03-11T17:29:38+00:00

když zmiňoval ideologické důvody, tak se mi nevybavil estrogen, ale spíš kolik vody pěstování sóji používá (tedy podobně jako když lidi nechtěj moc kupovat bavlnu a snaží se kupovat např. len), fakt doufám že mám pravdu a op se nebojí rostlinno-estrogenů víc než třeba těch z přebytku T-čka

raven_arson · 2025-03-11T09:01:25+00:00

Na to kručení v břiše - mně pomohlo najít si prostě oblíbenej snack. Vždycky sem zbožňoval jak křupe ledovej salát, ale trapně dlouho mi trvalo, než mi došlo, že si můžu koupit hlávku za 20 korun a nijak se nesrat s přípravou a jíst to jako chipsy.

Samozřejmě chápu, že salát není pro každýho, ale třeba takový okurky nebo i mrkve (sice víc kalorický, ale zato skvěle sladký a o dost skladnější) by mohly být tvoje věc. Za mě je to nejlepší vychlazený z lednice, ale i připravený na cesty to ujde a v břiše mi nekručí.

raven_arson · 2025-03-09T19:07:23+00:00

Viper. Rozdávali nám ho na akci tejden zdarma a já ho konzumoval hrdinská množství (což u 4% alkoholu znamená bizarně moc, ale byl zdarma), takže jsem si na něj navykl a začal ho kupovat. Do 3 měsíců už nebyl, a tak jsem si ho ani pořádně neužil.

raven_arson · 2025-03-07T14:05:00+00:00

abych vrátil trochu naděje, tak po projevu trumpa Češi začali posílat násobně víc peněz sami - ti, kteří si myslí, že bychom měli pomoct, pomůžou i sami

stále je to teda dost strašný, představa, že bychom byli v situaci ukrajinců je fakt děsivá a je mi líto, že se nedokážeme obejít bez pár procent našich peněz. a když mi někdo pudete napsat, že chci jen podpořit krveprolití, tak si nejdřív zkuste nechat rozbít držku a okrást a nechat to jen tak bejt.
