Die Booth

I'm glad this is how I found out about this.

(Wondering if the S1 pants were actually leather, then the S2 pants were pleather for greater comfort and also he had to be in water so often in S2...)

They definitely don't. I gotta rewatch S2 with a more critical eye now that I've seen your ref (thank you again!) because there's stuff in there slightly different to S1 (like the dagger scabbard) and I'm only noticing because I STUDIED the S1 costume for this damn cosplay.

It certainly feels that way 😑

Looking at those Blackbeard costume refs and the difference between some bits of the S1 and S2 costume is quite noticeable*

*if you have studied to it an obsessive degree for three years, probably 😅

Got a few new pieces of jewellery up on my shops if anyone’s interested! Shares/reposts appreciated

This is so kind, thank you for doing that.

What about the people who might feel 'offended' by all these tools aggressively putting British flags up everywhere because they're actually racists?

Saaame - and thank you!

That's so kind of you, thank you!! 🖤 I don't wanna bug you but then also I'm guessing it's quite nice to talk about this stuff (I know I could talk about that costume for hours 😅) If you ever get chance to measure the epaulet then that would be super helpful? I'm awful at estimating measurements

Thank you, you are an absolute legend! (I cannot tell you the TIME I've had with this costume build 😅) I thought the texture print on the epaulet looked like it was resin or something painted on 👀
Oh my GOD it is plastic 😂 I am so mad yet so amused. The boots have ZIPS ON THEM 😩😂

Life is legit such a cruel joke, I have inherited the facial and body hair of a dolphin off my dad.

I feel that they are genuinely trying to weed people out by a process of making it so difficult to navigate that people just give up through exhaustion, whilst keeping the plausible deniability of 'well, we offered to help you' 😑

EXCITING

I noticed that! Like, is it leather? I noticed the decoration on the knife scabbard too, and on the square button on the jacket - I thought that was coconut shell, but it looks more like bone or plastic from the photos? Also finally seeing those DAMN belt sliders clearly (after I got them made 😅)

🥲 😂

I'd be mad (I also destroyed my fingers hand sewing those damn leather) except I really love my leather pants 😂
I am gonna get this jacket so bloody accurate now I swear to goodness!! The shoulder pauldron looks way smaller than I thought... 👀

Wait, you won this?! That is EPIC, and thank you so SO much for putting this ref up - I've been recreating this costume for years, glad I saw this before making the jacket, I'm losing my MIND over this ref, you utter legend! (Also lol at all my materials being 'real' and the real one, not so much 😂)

Same here - most of those thoughts being 'he is taking some really long toilet breaks wearing those things' 😂

Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

This is incredible?!

Amazing. Also - new book..?? 👀

OK yes, this is adorable - didn't expect the tats to be red! Very good customisation!

Haha I have done versions of both of these! Smacked myself in the face hard headbanging wearing a big gothic cross (at a Type O gig, embarrassing 😂) and also spent an entire evening making unfortunate fart noises through sitting on a mate's blow up sofa (THE '00s!) wearing PVC 😂

Totally making sense (and I hope you get some proper sleep soon, that sounds awful.) And that's how I see it - I'm never gonna judge anyone for still loving any creation from a problematic creator, but I'm gonna judge them for still supporting that creator after they learn what they're like.

I know 🙄 depressing.

Sadly it's impossible to know if every piece of media you engage with is somehow causing harm or not so I guess you just gotta do your best with what you have.

never watched The Mummy again because Oded Fehr has just come out as a Zionist, but I guess I'll have to stop publicly comparing Spirit Houses to it and I won't be financially supporting anything he's in from now on. Depressing I'm so used to this by now that it's not even surprising any more. 2/2

For example, I haven't got rid of my Aerosmith music, but I will never wear a tshirt of theirs again, praise their work publicly or give them any more money. Tbf I've also gone off their songs for now, but hopefully I'll be able to privately enjoy what I already owned one day. And I'm not gonna 1/

I've said this before, but whilst I admire people's /work/, I will never again admire any /person/ who I don't personally know. I understand wanting to bin media when a creator disappoints you, but I think more important is not continuing to support their work monetarily or by publicly praising it.
