I’ve been waiting a year to post this
it’s that time of year again
Time isn't real
Shoutout to the LARP & Cosplay side of Tumblr:
I’m getting back into things and want to get a few armor pieces that I can build several outfits from, but I’m a little lost on sources for good quality armor/clothing.
Where does everyone get their thick leather belts and waist cincher (??) pieces from? The leather pieces that wrap around your middle?
And what is the name usually used for the below piece of cosplay that sits on one’s hips? I’ve seen them in a few inspo pics and think they’d be especially useful but I’m not sure on the terminology??
Also, if anyone has any hacks/lists/YouTube they would suggest for someone (re)starting out, I’d gift you my eternal gratitude and an elixir of your choice.
every once in a while i learn some wild new piece of information that explains years of behavior and reminds me that i will never truly understand everything about my ridiculous adhd brain
ok what the fuck who was gonna tell me this isnt normal
what the fuck you mean to tell me that the way that i comically slide around things wasn't just me naturally shitposting
maybe the neurotypicals are just trolling us
THAT'S WHY I DO THAT?!?!?

Not gonna lie, I REALLY want this but ankle length. Like this would be the perfect Ren Faire or LARP outfit.
My love of history, mystery, and ominous manor houses full of dark secrets was forged in these worn-out vhs tapes of yore
These were my childhood, liberally spiced with Hocus Pocus, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Twister.
Is it any wonder I grew up to be all-things-wind- loving Victorian-obsessed Spoopy hedgewitch with a passion for DIY out of spare parts….
hey guys fun little fact. the CEO of Tumblr will never see the posts you @ staff in. @/staff and @/wip and all those other staff-run blogs are there specifically so an underpaid customer service rep/intern can take the brunt of all the hate and outcry coming from the piss poor decisions coming from higher up.
another fun little fact. totally unrelated. the person who actually runs tumblr has a blog and its @/photomatt
So my sister wants to start sewing more, because
a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.
b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton
c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance
So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.
And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’
And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this
“Where did u get all this”
“Bets, u know I’m a 15th degree blackbelt of buying shit on the internet”
“oh yeah tru”
Op can may we inquire about the website list

I don’t know a lot about sewing, but I want to make or have my mom make some linen pants & shirts for when I’m watering, because it gets to 105 here and we have mosquitos so I need to be covered. What type of linen do I buy? Also, linen pajama shorts, yes/no?
(I’ve been wearing my renfaire pants which are a linen mix, I think. But the frikking mosquitos that hide in the tomatoes get my arms)
Medium weight is what I’d go with.
And linen pajama shorts is a HARD yes.
Renaissance Fabrics is good for all sorts of things
Mood doesn’t specialize in natural fabrics but they do have basically every fabric ever made so
Dorr Mill Store has a great selection of wool fabric in all sorts of colors and patterns.

Dearest Velvety Skeleton Friend, I beg your notice and humble ask for your blessing. It is needed greatly.
