It appears so! But it is weird, because it's saying "Most Online Today: 25" and then "Most Online Ever: 80 (Today -insert time here-)". There is a discrepancy of 55 people there.

Also, you are most welcome.

For me it says "Most Online Today (26th of march): 25" and "Most online ever: 80 25th march". I don't think that's a discrepancy (?).

Aaah. Time zone differences and something else odd (which I think might be coding but what do I know) are at fault here I think. Because mine is saying most definitely: "Most Online Today: 25. Most Online Ever: 80 (Today at 12:25:00 PM)". My forum time is set to my local time, and it's been the 26th of March for the past 22 hours.

By every god there is, I'm a horrible moron.

I'm working on a huge cosplay project, which includes armour. Said armour is precision work with the gluing parts, I have to position everything right on pretty much the first try (or the second, but then the seam might already tear or stretch out of shape).

So I have everything ready, two thigh armour plates pressed together and I'm holding them in place by the ends of the seams and suddenly the middle part pops open a bit. I can't let go of the ends at this point so what do I do? I. Chomp. Down. On. It. Effectively gluing the piece to my mouth. -.-

Luckily I managed to tear it off without too much damage to my lips, and though they hurt a bit it's still better than having to go to the doctor and be like

Doctor: "What on earth did you do?"

Me: "Mrrrph."

MORAL OF THE STORY: kids, don't bite anything with super glue on it.

This sounds like one of those "I have made a huuuge mistake" moments.

Man, I wish I had the skills, time and resources to make serious stuff like that. You'll have to show us pictures at some point!

no but seriously though, I hope you're doing okay!! but it does sound like a Valuable life lesson
and I agree you need to show us what you're making, it sounds very interesting!

[Koeshi]

Now see, you wouldn't have this issue if you used metal for armour and simply welded things together.  Then you would have a very different problem XD

[Laufey]

Fimbulvarg: ...yes. I'd say it was exactly one of those moments. Talking about resources, you wouldn't believe how creative I sometimes get when I want to save money on something. Anything can be used to make cosplay out of if you're desperate (and poor) enough.

Haiz: thankfully the only badly damaged part is my pride.  Best use of reaction image by the way!

Koeshi: waiiiit - no no nonono ow ow OW THE MENTAL IMAGES THEY WON'T GO AWAY -

I'll eventually show what I'm working on but alas, that'll take a while. For one there's still a lot to do, also the cosplay will be for a competition so I'm keeping it mostly a secret. I just wanted to come over here and share my brilliant moment of idiocy...

[Fimbulvarg]

And if you have the skills/ingenuity. Cosplayers are some of the most clever people out there when it comes to creative thinking. Well, most of the time anyways. Self-preservation: not so much.

[Curry]

Self-preservation: not so much.

^Scarily accurate
While hotgluing all the studs to my Attack on Titan belts (they were already pierced through, but they weren't quite stable enough to stay through a con) I ended up with all of my fingers burned because who cares if my fingers hurt, I have to hold these things in place till they dry

I also spent about 20 hours sewing my pleather belts together. Life advice: don't sew pleather, it will break your spirit

*sighs contentedly*  I love sharing my gifts with the world.

hhhhhhhhhhhh this reminds me I still haven't finished working on my Authentic Viking Shoes
I mean, I've sewn the parts together but I will have to invert them......... it's been a year and I'm still not mentally prepared for that

I´m not sure where to post this: I just stumbled over an english version of this multilanguage-lovesong of a german comedian:

and I thougt maybe some would like it. His pronounciation is partly horrible, but it is nice nonetheless.

Not related to the clip you linked to, but I see you have :estland: in your signature. If you want the Estonian flag you need to replace <estland> with <estonia>.

[Viisikielinenkantele]

Thank you! Now it works.

you can do it!


I am currently playing with some patterns for some jackets. I haven't finished cutting the pieces. . . it's been almost a year.
