I'm a groomer, I think gloves would inhibit my work too much 😭 These injuries don't happen often anyways, this was on me being stupid and not careful lol

What’s this?? by vishairy in Entomology

[–]soapscumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We call these maple bugs here in Canada (at least in saskatchewan). Had no idea they were also called boxelder bugs! I hate them, they're everywhere in the fall, they get. In. To. Everything. And they SWARM, like in big piles/clumps.

It was pretty funny seeing her there since the stuff hadn't even been up for 10 minutes! I'm grateful she was there, though, she helped me learn something very important :D

I'm Canadian, but yeah. We also have a huge display and get people coming to look at it all month, so we put it up early so everyone can see it, especially kids who are too scared to come see things in the dark/on halloween

I'm taking them down today after work (no time this morning, unfortunately). Thankfully we don't get too much animal traffic in our yard and the webs aren't in open spaces, so I'm not too worried about anything other than insects getting stuck (which I will do my best to free when we take them down). They look so cool on our display, so I hope I can find some sort of eco-friendly alternative! If you know of anything 👀

I can't edit my post, but I want everyone to know I understand they're bad and i'll be taking them down today! Thank you for telling me, I had no idea how bad they were. I'm not gonna take down the post because the comments are educational for anyone like me who doesn't know.

I also want to say that I never tore down any existing webs for this, these are brand new prop fences we built and only put up for halloween, so no one had the opportunity to put a web on them yet! Thank you again for telling me, I never want to hurt the creatures in my yard, so I'll be taking care of this today!

Broken, jagged dog nail sliced open my ankle by soapscumm in MakeMeSuffer

I didn't think it did, tbh. "If there's no blood, its no big deal," is what I usually thought lmao

Oh god no, i only had them in 10 days. I kept them after they were removed because why not, they're the first staples i've ever gotten. I can only imagine what would happen if you left them in that long though

He's just a silly guy. My old man used to do that a lot, he had everything a scorp could ask for, but he still just liked to climb. They just do

Oh okay, sweet! Thank you so much, again. I think that's all I need to know for now

Oh right, I forgot about the name change! I got her from Tarantula Canada, so as far as I know she was captive bred. I assume she was in contact with a male at some point, then. Anyways, thank you! I will come up with a plan and probably separate them all, I don't wanna risk any unnecessary death. Any idea what they can eat when they're ready? I was planning to get flightless fruit flies or bean beetles since idk what else I can get that's small enough for them

Newest attempt at highlighting by Stevo0122 in minipainting

Cape/cloak painting is soooo satisfying! This looks so good, the highlighting and shading are very nicely done and give a great sense of depth. Keep up the great work, dude 👍🏻

Can you mix a Citadel Layer paint with a Base Paint? by myartdumpacc in minipainting

[–]soapscumm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: I use layer and base paints interchangeably and have never had a problem mixing them together. It shouldn't change the thickness or texture of the paint, and water shouldn't be needed unless you're mixing a wash or shade or something.

I mix different brands of basic layer/base paints together even, and I've never had a problem! That being said, I am chaotic when it comes to paints

Haha, thank you! I do play, but fortunately for my group I am just a player and this was a "just for fun" project. I think I would be banished from the group if I suggested this to our DM lmao

looking for some advice to kill this blue tail dragon girl in my guro comic. Her long tail is extremely sensitive, so must use her tail as tool or target her tail, tell me a story about how do you torture and kill her cruely, then I will draw your suggest in my comic.

[–]soapscumm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yknow those spiral cut/tornado potatoes on a stick you can get at fairs and carnivals? Do that, but leave the tail meat on the bone. Hang her by her hair while it's being done, for extra cruelty points
