I should probably spin up a Replica Prop Forum account to ask a lot of these questions :)

This totally means I'm planning to hand-solder several dozen 5mm SMT LEDs, while they're glued in place to a plastic that melts.

I'm hoping this is ambition and not just foolishness :)

Okay so the overall plan here is to vacu-form a fox mask out of translucent plastic, then glue a bunch of addressable LEDs to the inside of the mask and drive 'em with a microcontroller.

First step is probably making sure the vac forming works out? Need to pick a plastic. Want something thermoformable, translucent, a little bit flexible, and able to be glued to with silicone or hot glue.

Maybe polystyrene?

I'm fairly confident in the mechanical construction, less so on the coding.

Does anyone here have experience driving serial LED arrays?

The Capitalists (to be read in the same tone as "The Aristocrats") 

Remember the Juicero, and how it was an expensive over-engineered pile of capitalist hubris and failure?

The Capitalists sure don't.

I should make a plastic version of my fox mask. Probably good to do it with some sort of thermoforming, maybe vacu-forming.

Bonus: I can give it glowy blush!

meta porn // 

I imagine porn stuff as being set in a nebulous alternate reality(ies) I call "Porn World". Porn World is like any other fantasy universe you know except all the implausible freaky kinky shit is just… normal. Most social interactions end in sex of some kind and that's OK. Having someone walk in on you while you're masturbating, then stop and offer to help is just a thing that's happened to most people.

"Can you make me a potion to change who I am?"
"No," said the witch. "There are no such potions."
"Oh. I hoped-"
"But I can make a potion to change your body to who you are."

A good fake album cover, weird melancholic nostalgia, ref to the 'war on drugs' 

"Homesick for a place I'm not even sure exists" is a good way to put how I feel a lot

"I have no use for 'before and after' pictures.

I can't remember starting, and

I'm never done."

Huh. Most people *aren't* lowkey constantly aware of being combatants in three or four different culture wars.

Pretty brave of SG1 to have the second episode of the season 1 finale arc be a clip show.

@starkatt the really weird thing;

before the term took off thanks to Ellu, we were both on Puzzlebox MU* (I think?) where our characters were from different parts of the solar system. My characters/avatars were from the pseudo-Russian area. I used the term to refer to literal dried kelp to make really cheapass faux-tobacco cigs that smelled like low tide when smoked, of which one character was fond because he had crummy taste. I'm sorta glad Ellu's version stuck around instead.
