Feel free to ask/RP anything. Doesn't matter what universe you are from or even if you are one of those string-pulling 'muns', as long as I'm not talking to too many other people at the same time, I'm willing to interact with anyone.

Metro Man is premovie, so he's not yet jaded to the hero gig. I've been playing this character for several years so there has been a lot of natural evolution, but he is still the hero you see at the beginning of Megamind.))

THIS. So hard.
We’re at the lowest tax rate in history for the wealthy and they just got a trillion more dollars last year in bonuses.
If you aren’t a millionaire or close to it, you should be wondering why taxes aren’t closer to 94% on that high bracket for the wealthy. You know, like it was in the golden years of the 50s all these rich white people dream of.
((Glitter exchange people and people just interested in making glitter jars, pay attention! I’ve made over a dozen of these things now, so I’ve got this pretty much down to an art.
All of these were done with just water, glue, and glitter, so these aren’t the complicated type and are every bit as effective and pretty as other methods.
You need:
Jar/bottle/some sort of watertight container that can take some heat Water Glitter Glitter glue/clear elmer’s glue
Also needed:
Bowl/cup/pan to heat water in Spoon/chopstick/something to stir with that will fit your container
Optional:
Soap Food coloring Plastic glue-in
How to:
Heat water until it’s only just boiling. For all of the ones I’ve made, I’ve heated water in a measuring cup. If you overheat the water you run the risk of temperature shocking a glass container into breaking or melting a plastic container.
Fill your container ½ to 2/3 full of water.
Add glitter glue/clear glue and stir it it. The amount you add will change how slow your glitter falls. I would suggest not adding more than 1/3 of your container’s volume in glue, if you add more than that your glitter will fall too slowly to be very soothing, so between ¼ and 1/3 is best, depending on your patience. Some glitter glue pens give you the choice between thick lines and thin lines, go for the thin lines. Thick globs/lines of glue are a pain to stir the lumps out of. It’s not much of an issue with the clear glue since it stirs in easier, but don’t think you can take the cap off and pour it in, then expect to have a nice result. Also, be careful as you stir, you did just pour boiling water into the container. It is hot.
Do not attempt to change your mind and add more glue once the water temperature has dropped a several degrees. All that will accomplish is creating a big, undissolved glue lump.
Add your glitters. The amount can vary, but don’t over do it. An 1/8 of an inch layer of glitter settled on the bottom is more than plenty. The type of glitter you use affects how fast it falls, too. Obviously, the larger it is, the faster it’s going to settle, so extra fine is very slow, while chunky glitter or confetti is going to settle pretty fast.
Will all the glitter in, top off your container with some of the hot water you didn’t use, then add the lid/cork and make sure that it’s in place tightly enough to not leak. If you use a cork, expect a small air bubble to develop. This is caused by the dry cork soaking up some of the water, but isn’t going to harm how your glitter jar works.
Optional steps:
If you want to add some sort of toy or something, glue it in first with waterproof glue and make sure to wait the recommended cure time before you attempt to make your glitter jar.
If you want to add food coloring, add only the tiniest amount. I’d personally suggest not using any, but that’s up to you. I’ve found that adding food coloring often darkens the water enough that it’s hard to tell what color glitters you’ve added. So, if your glitter glue has some color in it, that’s fine, but adding food coloring is likely going to hide how pretty your glitter is.
If you have a plastic container/plastic glue-in/flatish sides on your container, you’re probably going to have to add some soap to keep the glitter from sticking to the surfaces. Dish detergent works best and you only need a drop or two to correct the problem.
Edit: Since I’ve been asked a couple times where I got my bottles, I figured I’d best add that. All the jars in this picture are from Micheal’s. Hobby Lobby also has some neat designs that I’ve used as well, just none of them are shown here.
Any questions? Feel free to send me a message.))
((Was reviewing my blogs for flagged posts and ran across this again. Figured I’d bump it for those that want something pretty and peaceful in these frustrating times.))
Honestly, I was looking at a high fashion blog and I bought a skirt that is supposed to be high fashion but all I saw was Beetlejuice. I saw Beetlejuice dresses and I decided to make a version that has not been done yet. A modest long dressed dragging on the floor version. It also adds to the more classic female ghost look who have longer dresses.
. The funniest was how congoers would tease me by calling me Beetlejuice twice or would stop others from saying it too many times in a convo around me and sometimes just whisper it 3 times real close to me. My favorite is just seeing the fandom come together and all the good conversations and the sharing and bonding over their fandoms. I feel like so many fan theories are born out of the con when people can see all these cosplayers characters interacting.
. I actually don’t know how to sew. After I bought the skirt, I looked for a matching blazer. I experimented on how I’d wear it and the result ended up looking like a beautiful dress and I just went with it. The hijab was trickier, in order to get the messy crazy hair look. I soaked the hijab in a homemade starch solution and left it crumpled up to dry overnight the day before the con. The next morning the fabric was fairly stiff and I draped it and got the messy hijab look. The makeup was fairly easy, I just bought some white body paint and used eyeshadows I already had at home. I’m have never actually done any non-basic makeup but because the look is supposed to be messy, it was hard to go wrong so I did the makeup myself.
. I personally started cosplaying cause I wanted to have fun and dress up as my favorite superheroes while going to conventions. I didn’t realize what impact it could have because I was a hijabi. It has brought out so many people who thought they could never cosplay cause they didn’t think they could do a character that didn’t look like them. On the other hand, folks also want to see this, they want to see real characters written who wear the hijab and not just sideline characters. I basically became a representation of what hijabi superheroes would look like.
. I want to specifically reach out to the audience who may be unsure of cosplaying or might feel leftist from the fandoms because they feel they are ‘different’. I want to remind them that the fandoms would not be the same without them and they have the right to contribute their versions of their fandom.

I have been out-glittered! And I love it!! This is the best!
@setepenre-set and @displacerghost , guess who bumped his human’s hands while she was trying to be careful and ended up with glitter in his beard and eyebrows?
