I am SO HAPPY to finally be able to announce this!

A year ago, I did tests on products to smooth Worbla for painting – Pros and Cons of each. And my favorite of that batch was Flexbond, especially as I live in the land of ‘I can only reliably spraypaint 6 months out of the year’

It took almost a year of negotiations with Rosco, but Worbla.com and Cosplay Supplies are now offering a much more cosplayer-friendly 16oz containers of Flexbond with free shipping when you purchase with thermoplastics. 

Flexbond does take a bit of getting used to – it doesn’t behave quite the way Mod Podge and Wood Glue do, and you need a drop of patience when applying it, but the results are worth it: especially when you make armor that has to travel or be stored away.

Take a look at this page with video, images and a breakdown on how Flexbond works. There will be more even tutorials and content soon!

Cata: You can also use Flexbond on EVA foam/craft foam as a sealer. But really happy to hear Cosplay Supplies will be carrying the smaller size! The theatre supply stores in the area only carry 128 oz or higher (which is completely understandable) so I’ve been hesitant to commit to a large purchase.

one of my friends found radiooooo which is a site that streams music from any country from any decade (well, most countries/decade combos work) and we’ve been digging going on a quest to find what is rad

so far the following is good

  • 50s/60s/70s/80s russia
  • 70s cambodia
  • 20s japan
  • 80s ethiopia
  • 80s india

let’s add 70s armenia and 70s japan to this list

actually im willing to bet 70s *any country will be amazing, it’s all been really good so far

and if you go for 90s india fast music you might get hit in the face with tunak tunak tun right away so get your meme groove on

one of my moms recommended 70s east germany and this proves true, this is weird and amazing in a good way

also set the mood to “weird” for maximum fun, it enhances literally every station

I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth

Or, as my dad put it,

Sympathy: I know how you feel
Empathy: I feel how you feel
Compassion: is there anything I can do to help?
