All I need for Henry is shoes. ' 3 ' And possibly sharpie-dyeing my wig. So I'm pretty close to the goal line. = D

Is that our official team name? If we shorten it it's TJEP yeah~

YAY I AM EXCITED TOO.
I'm 85% sure I'll be going on the bus to because both of my parents have been warmed to the idea. I'm checking on one more person to see if they're going to con and can give me a ride. But whatever happens I will be there

Hmm, the dogs sound good. I'll have to go bunless though. Gotta do my best to observe Passover.

Oh snap, I totally forgot about Passover.
We can always wander around Pike Place looking for something for you. There's lots of food around when you know how to look, so we'll figure something out.

My on top of things-ness has taken me completely by surprise. I was panicking a little bit about a week ago. ' _ ';

And so now we have to say the whole thing every single time. Every. Single. Time.

Oh hey so Daffodil Dash is starting at Joann's, and my sales flyer says that t-shirts and tank tops are 5 for $10 again. Since we're doing the Avatar PJ party (hopefully) d'you guys wanna make derpy IC t-shirts? And if so, tell me colors and I'll go buy shirts.

AVATAR PJ PARTY? I am intrigued, please tell me more

ALSO hey Felix, would you mind writing up how you made the ties? Izumo's getting close to done (haha, not that there was much to do) and I wanna finish that as soon as I can. Thaaanks~! <3

Malaria · « **Reply #4018 on:** April 10, 2011, 12:20:56 pm »

Instead of doing Hetalia again, we're gonna try to do an Avatar one this year. That means doing a panel submission soon, but WHATEVER. Maybe we'll work it out during Sak, since we'll all be together.

Well I missed out on your Hetalia PJ parties, but regardless, that sounds delightful. I wholeheartedly approve of all Avatar-related derp.

Looking back, I'm not sure you missed much?
There's videos on Youtube, if you're curious. I'm not going to link you because they embarrass me. ._.

Felix · « **Reply #4027 on:** April 10, 2011, 02:52:33 pm »

SHIEMIIIIII

Re: tie--
I used standard 1" wide masking tape and acrylic paints on black broadcloth. Note that the paint will soak through the fabric, so put something underneath. Preferrably not newspaper because the paint will glue the paper to the fabric.
(In case you want to know, I used 'Liquitex' brand acrylic: Naphthol Crimson and Titanium White.)

The red stripes were painted first. The way I measured was a little confusing-- they are 1" when measured along the length of the tie, not perpendicular to the stripes. Basically, the black+white areas are the width of one strip of masking tape (1" measured perpendicular to stripes) and the red stripes are 1" along the length of the tie, crossing the stripes at about 45 degrees (about 5/8" perpendicular to stripes).

The white stripes were added in last, centred between the reds. Again, I used the tape to measure-- one piece aligned with the top of one red stripe, another with the bottom of the stripe below that. The narrow space left between the tapes is where the stripe should be painted.

I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE. I do things oddly. If you have questions, ask!

blahahaha.
(also jaqua maybe the reason you like Tavros is cause he's actually your sign using the current zodiac.)

Emilee: you can also buy black paint to do touchups. When I did mine and Valeria's there were places the paint went under the tape, though that may have been because the only masking tape I could find was old and kind of crusty.

jaqua · « **Reply #4040 on:** April 10, 2011, 05:30:41 pm »

HAHAHAHAHA I'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT PICTURE OF TAV, I LOVE IT GAH HE'S SO ADORABLE
... Except I'm so, so not a Taurus. Under current signs yes, but personality-wise I am pretty much 100% a Gemini. Which is why I also really like Sollux. 8I

Okay I want to do another Homestuck dump, I've been lurking in the MSPA threads on /co/ and I've gotten sooooo much stuff from them
And also learned that a) everyone is in love with John and his derp and b) everyone ships Karkat<>Kanaya. Fun fact.

OMG WHY IS THIS SO CUTE

lolol crossovers

i love the "paula deen riding things" meme

FEFERI YOU ARE THE CUTEST

crabdad is sad karkat never smiles

hahahahahahahaha you guys are adorable
I will document the prodding and the resulting cuteness between you two. Because that's all that will come from that.
And Auricle Hashi already said it for me but slkdjfsouidhfslkdjf YOU ARE THE CUTEST SHIEMI. AS I KNEW YOU WOULD BE. THE CUTEST.

Ok so, I don't understand what's up with Homestuck. I tried to get into it, but...by what I could see, it's all in paint, and that really turns me off.

But when I see fanarts for it...I'm like...UNFFFFFFFFFF THESE ARE SOOOOO GOOD.

What's up with that? =\

Malaria · « **Reply #4045 on:** April 10, 2011, 08:42:54 pm »

SK: Part of the joke of Homestuck is that's it's one of the MS Paint Adventures. Except Hussie makes it all in Photoshop.
He secretly draws omgorgeous art, and the later flashes are really super nice. But the whole crappy sprite thing is all part of the running gag that is Homestuck.

Hashi: ACCOMPLISHMENTS YEAH

Malaria and other members of Team Juggernaut of English Pain: I was thinking of going to a craft store and getting something for our team, do you think we should have sashes with the team name on them, individual signs, or just a big banner? It would be great if we could get pins, but alas...
We could have a large banner that could be rolled up. I could bring some markers and whatnot and we can doodle pictures on it while we're waiting in line. xD

jaqua · « **Reply #4048 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:00:47 pm »

Yeah honestly I was kind of put off by the art style when I first started reading Homestuck... But you get used to it, and plus the quality of basically everything gets way more awesome as time goes on. Plus usually it's so effing hysterical that you don't even care about the art, or you're so caught up in the badassery that is the animations (which are actually really really great) that it makes the art better. PLUS THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THE FANART, WHICH IS INDEED AMAZING

Malaria · « **Reply #4049 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:14:08 pm »

Rebecca: I think it's hilarious that you're taking this whole team thing so seriously, especially since we have the worst name ever courtesy of my sense of humor.

That said, I think we should have ribbons. Like those silly award ribbons that you get for minor competitions. Or like the kind on tricorns. Whichever.
