"But what about sharpie dying wigs? Sharpie usually rubs off from the wig onto the skin/your costume"

I don't recommend sharpie dying wigs for exactly that reason, actually! Esp for bangs or the nape of the neck. I use spray hair color and/or straight up paint if needed or sew/glue in colored wefts

"But you used sharpie to color in the visor on your EDI costume!"

That had like weeks to dry to fully off gas before the first wear and that was glued to the hair helmet and was held entirely off my skin. It was not glued to my skin directly and esp not in the eye area.

Also it's closed on Sundays so if you want to go downtown for great food like a croissant from Mademoiselle Louise before shopping you'll have to pay metered parking for the croissant but at least Mood parking is free (the lot is small tho)

What is it missing/downsides?

Buttons, real leather, trims, and paper patterns. I didn't see any at all in there. The selection of stretch was also meh. There was a handful of notions I didn't see any machine parts & nothing crafts so this isn't a one stop shop but fills a sorely missing niche.

They have a good selection of both upholstry and garment (both fine and poly) fabrics and thread and also have precut sprung steel boning and craft weight (and other weights) interfacing. A serviceable selection of zippers and pleather.

I am still in the "trust the process" part of the redeco so no photos.

But just know my December Fun Money budget is being spent on real gold leaf to do designs on my ceiling.

But this is your reminder: if you are painting over your head wear the damn safety goggles.

But yeah the tldr is that it's an Arthuriana Christian Romance novel where Vivienne is our protag-chan and ALSO there's giant robots from space cause why not.

And how this is honestly on brand for Arthuriana, Cade is not the first insert Gary Stu (that's Lancelot).

I FINALLY FOUND THE LOST MEDIA but basically my TLK video essay would boil down to this.

(And for those of you going isn't Emet Selch yandere too: No he is a grieving wife guy and ShB is peak because it's a battle of Grieving Wife Guy grandpa vs Grieving Waifu Guy grandpa. I will not elaborate.)

For the record re G'raha: it's what makes his story so compelling and him an interesting character (aside from Jonathan Bailey's acting). Because it was so subtle I didn't fully connect the dots til Post Endwalker despite the ita-room full of WoL merch/fanfics in ShB.

I don't have quite so established types when it comes to women EXCEPT this haircut. I think it's because it's both a hair style I WISH I could pull off and also women with this hairstyle are just very cool.

You are probably wondering "but wait, where's the knighty bois that's like your whole schtick"

It's a subclass, like I don't default like all knight it must be paired with something else appealing. (Tho I will certainly 👀 a random armored lad or lady, everyone looks better in armor.)

The other Types are: blonde himbo (Keith Goodman), tragic wife guy, pref a bit exhausted & older (Emet Selch) and Part/All Dragon who is very caring (Vrtra). Oh, and of course Duke of the North but who DOESNT love that?

I realize not all of you are Arthuriana nerds, I had a good reason!! Lancelot is called the knight of the lake so I figured standing in a lake might help bring him home and that one was nearby at the time.

Also, fun fact, I stood in a different lake in that park when trying to summon Saber Lancelot when he first dropped in EN FGO. Despite the "don't get in the water there's gators" signs. No standing in the lake didnt bring Saberlot home, but it did bring Ozymandius, the 5 star from that banner, home.
