no disrespect to sexually interested monster loving people but i felt compelled to share this as a recovered fetishized monster who realized they were actually a sex-repulsed (and positive) grey-ace

generated this for myself after reaching a hugely relieving milestone in my current mental health struggles this morning

it still feels a little like i brainwashed myself (as opposed to REALLY REALLY feeling like im brainwashing myself) but i feel more actualized and im in less pain and confusion

this is mostly what all the previous attempts look like-

warped (wouldn't be a huge deal since its easily undone but then it just keeps happening every time they're requenched), unmet blade edges, cracked off tangs or ball ends

not to mention the blade cross section
September 18, 2025 at 7:56 PM
man, making a tiny epée blade is fucking tough

fourth times the charm?

forging it super chunky and mostly doing removal this time

August 11, 2025 at 7:23 PM
im not good at this part..

actually in the process of using black enbroidery thread instead of microfilament but this is the pic i used lol

gonna test fit it and then if it works, take it off, apply contact cement and sew it back on

wish me luck 🤞🏽

one of these days ill get a real camera and learn how to interestingly film a bright flame lol

is this even worth sharing??

lol who cares, here's what brazing a tiny pommel onto a feder looks like!!! 😌🔥

into the pickle it goes 🫳🏽🗡️🥒🍵

gently nudging.. measuring.. aligning.. gently nudging again.. measuring.. aligning.. gently nudging

positioning is like 85% of the time spent when brazing and soldering lol

between the tremors and having to mostly eyeball this guy, im amazed they came out looking so proportional

July 24, 2025 at 8:20 PM

I feel this statement deep in my bones and now that i've said it, its going to jingle around in my brain every time i lift weights like a gay maraca
