#and then it cured like that

[artificer-dice]

Guys I messed up 😅

One of the number one rules with working with silicone and molds and resin in a pressure pot is you don't seal in a pocket of air.

Guess what I accidentally did in the stupidest way possible 😅 on the cute d6s I was super excited about too!

I was able to remove them by hacking at the bumps with some wire cutters until they lost adhesion with the face (which I realize is something I need to fix in the process) and I was able to peel them off, which took the paint with it but it should be easy to fix now.

They have hearts for the 6 faces and I love them so I'm going to fix them but it's a learning moment I didn't necessarily want to have today but at least it was salvageable!

#it's been a rough day #it's not even noon yet and i already want to just go back to sleep #it's been raining all morning which means I've been in pain since last night #and it's been fairly intense today #so i was hoping for a win with these cute d6s because the set is a rainbow and they have hearts as the 6s #and then this happened #and i knew immediately what had happened when i saw it #to explain the pocket of air thing: this final step is casting them after inking them in a mold with no numbers so the 6 face disappears #and that mold happens to be open-faced and when I've used it previously I've gotten raised faces so i tried to use a little silicone mat #this mat happens to be longer than that mold but also thin and stretchy which is important #i used a mold weight to keep it from lifting in the center. this particular mold weight was a failed 6d6 mold #for some reason i used it with the d6 cavities facing down which meant there were cavities of air touching the mat #which maybe would have been fine if there wasnt resin in between them for some reason #this resin sealed the space between the mat and the weight which meant those cavities were sealed #again a big no-no in this situation because a pressure pot compresses air #which means that space has no choice but to get smaller because that air inside can't normalize pressure with things outside of it #so it pulled the very thin and very stretchy mat up in an attempt to normalize #well the surface underneath the mat had a lot of resin and it was also sealed and resin doesn't compress (as much?) #so the mat being lifted created this vacuum of sorts that pulled the resin into it like how drawing up a syringe works #and then it cured like that #thankfully the resin is still flexible enough at this stage that once i broke the seal between the two layers it peeled off #which tells me taht in the future i should sand the faces before doing this step to help adhesion so they cant separate #usually separating is bad but in this case it saved me literal hours of sanding because that's what it would have took to fix this #i am good at making dice i promise #this is still in development so I'm still figuring out the fine details within the process #there's no catch-all course you can take to learn these things so I'm kinda just winging it anyway #these are meant to be examples of a method to be used to make custom-faced dice without them being custom-molded #because making one-off designs this way saves on silicone and making the masters in the first place #not something i thought I'd be doing as much but working on this process is why I'm waiting to open commissions again #because this was a majority of the requests i got

listen. i know it's not 2014 anymore and i know it's just a throwaway line and that the russo brothers didnt intend for marvel action blockbuster captain america the winter soldier to become the tragic gay love story that never was but man. having steve say "it's kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience" in a conversation about romantic relationships right before the bucky reveal is so cruel. it's not just about steve and bucky obviously having the shared experience of being "out of time," it's the fact that they've both been stripped of their humanity in opposite directions. steve is a legend, he is an american hero and a national icon before he is a human being the same way that bucky is a weapon and a killing machine before he is a human being. steve knows that anyone who falls in love with him in the 21st century fell in love with captain america first, and that's just not him. but then the one person who knew him first and knew him best and loved him (not captain america, that little guy from brooklyn) so much he died for it is alive, impossibly. and it's a miracle because he's back and it's horrific because he's back under the worst possible circumstances. but to steve, the winter soldier is worth tearing the world apart for because he's always been bucky first. they find each other and suddenly they're human again. and maybe, despite it all, being "out of time" becomes a blessing, because in this century they'd finally be allowed to love each other the way they've always wanted to. like real people do.

like. no. the captain america trilogy isn't about two queer men traumatized and alienated by war and modern life rediscovering and reclaiming their humanity through their love for each other. but. i mean. it couldve been

#like you get why all the fics about those two are insane right. the narrative is just so goddamn compelling #and thats not even getting into the whole thing abt the serum curing steve of every ailment except his love for bucky #which makes him realize it was never an ailment to begin with (despite the commonly held beliefs about homosexuality in the 1940s) #and bucky being *electroshocked* again and again into forgetting steve #like howd you make your gay ass movie that gay and not realize it. its kinda impressive #sorry for the ridiculous stucky retrospective its 4am and i rewatched the winter soldier recently #its not that deep. its not its not its not . but if it was anything other than what it is it could have been. and thats the worst part #shut up riley #marvel #stucky

revisited the old "they descended from ancients + shadow was made by them" concept and put more thought into the markings this time, that and i took cues from their concept arts as a treat for myself. no chaos forms this time bc if this has to sit on my hard drive any longer im going to start running up the walls hee hoo

(old art + original concept for the curious i suppose)

DC X DP

Ya know how we all collectively agree that the Lazarus pits are just ectoplasm? Well.. apparently it’s canon in DC Vs Vampires that the pits can reverse vampirism and turn someone back into a human…

Guys… GUYS -

Just imagine Danny wandering the ghost zone and ooh natural portal? Yoink.

It just so happens that the portal leads to the DC vs vampires dimension and well Vlad looks enough like a stereotypical vampire that when some dude with fangs tries to kill him who can fault Danny for a little ectoplasm blast?

And wait a minute- what just happened to the guy he shot? He’s… human now? H u h

Turns out when you shoot a vampire with ectoplasm it ALSO cures the vampirism…

The real question is : did Danny happen to land in the midst of a dramatic reveal of Dick Grayson as the vampire king and oops- no more vampire 🤩

#dc x dp #dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #funny #danny phantom #danny fenton #dp x dc crossover #batpham #dc vs vampires #vampire dick grayson #vampire king #dc vampires #I’m just imagining​ someone using Danny like a machine gun to cure people #literally holding him up #he’s having a great time #VK Dick is fuming and kinda baffled

The hardest, but most important, part of my transition has been untangling what my personal dysphoria is, and what is more a result of cissexism.

What I mean by this is that I learned that I am not dysphoric about certain aspects of myself, my body, and my life, but my discomfort in these aspects was influenced by the cissexist culture I live in which told me I couldn't exist as myself.

It's definitely a slow process, but I have found that it helps me self-actualize and actually see myself instead of what others demand of me.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #dysphoria #and what makes this really tricky is that often it isn't clear-cut as to what makes you dysphoric... #...versus what makes you uncomfortable due to your culture or environment... #...i still experience dysphoria but now i find that my motivation isn't to please the people around me... #...if i truly wanted to please the people around me then i would cease to exist altogether... #...and once i truly recognized that and came to terms with this reality i stopped feeling like i owed the world everything... #...i stopped feeling so disconnected with myself... #...i don't think this will be useful for everybody but i want to offer a different approach to it... #...by no means do i think that this is a 'cure-all' in fact it's not even close... #...because what i found that this has done is bring me *closer* to my trans body and my trans soul... #...i have found that my dysphoria has narrowed (especially since going on testosterone) and i feel more at peace
