Photos: Fairy Garden Lantern Deconstruction

Someone overheard that I'm working with terraria and gave me this fairy garden lantern so I could turn it into a terrarium. :D So today I deconstructed it and cleaned the container.

The lantern part has an open top with a hanging loop and a solid base. It has a hexagonal shape with a narrow top, widest part below the middle, and slightly narrower base. The panes appear to be rigid plastic. The frame seems to be metal. There's a bit of heft to the base, even when empty.

And Next

One of my original plans for Saturday fell through; it wasn't anything I was particularly looking forward to though. (Just adulting.) So the day was lunch with M and some planning for the future.

I found info for a scale modelers club down in the City, but they meet Weds evenings. I have a lot of vacation time to blow, so taking a day off isn't a problem to feel them out, but I can't do this month because there's just way too much going on. So maybe next month? They also have an annual model show with tables available and I know M has kits to sell (I don't, but we're in this together); it's in April so there's time to figure this all out.

Started working on a HG Nu Gundam, which I probably picked up more than a decade ago. I mean, also working on my other Project, but there are physical limits to how much of that I can work on. (i.e. I need more sticks with roach-clips on the ends!)

Fic - The Porn Star Murders / Hazbin Hotel

Title: The Porn Star Murders

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel

Link To Fic: here on AO3

Link To Art By afteriwake: here on AO3

Summary: Angel has settled in well after the death of Valentino at his hands. He is running Val’s movie empire with far more skill than anyone thought. What he wants to concentrate on now is taking the budding relationship with Husker to the next level. What he gets is someone ‘murdering’ his best stars. Death might not be permanent in hell but when his stars are torn to flinders, it’ll take them a long time to pull themselves together. It is good way to ruin his business and bring his term as an overlord to an end. With Husker, Rosie and Arackniss at his side, Angel has to track down this threat to his new empire and deal with it like his father taught him so long ago.

Warnings: dismemberment, skinning, cannibals, referenced rape, sex work, graphic violence, lots of swearing in two languages, homophobic family members, family dysfunction

Characters: Angel Dust, Arackniss, Husk, Rosie, Henroin, Vox and Velvette

Pairings: Angel Dust/Husk

When I Started: Earlier this year. It fits into my Spider Brother series.

How I Lost My Shit: I didn’t so much as lose my shit as I needed a deadline to help me focus.

How I Finished My Shit: Determination and like I said, deadlines help. Also Angel really wanted to tell this story.

Feeling a little nervous. I didn't get much sleep last night because I was scared, there was some pissed off wingnut screaming in the courtyard of my apt bldg. A long time ago we used to have security guards here at night. I wish we still did.

Day One of Fun

Took off around 6am to drive across the state for the last stop of the Gundam Base Mobile USA Tour. I mostly went for *The Experience* and it was a pretty good one!

We ended up getting there with plenty of time to get food and chat with other folks waiting. After a point, the shopping line was split between folks who'd gotten the (free) VIP tickets and everyone else and because I had tickets, we ended up literally first. ^^;; (The tickets were kind of a fiasco - originally only ~Saturday afternoon needed the free tickets for crowd control and then at some point partway through the tour suddenly every time-slot had ticketing. I only knew this because someone in a little gunpla server I'm in mentioned the change and I was like 'wait what' and went and literally snagged a pair two minutes later. However, they were basically zippering the two lines anyway so the handful of people who'd gotten there before us got in at about the same time anyway.)

We were warned that their last stop had wiped a lot of inventory, and yeah, the selection was a little sparse but I still filled a bag and managed a couple kits I'd had recommended and a couple I'd missed during the online drops.

Tossed all that in the car and came back to build our little event model kits and drink more water. They were very good about handing out water left and right. Took a few pictures and then headed over to the host shop, which is less a general hobby shop and more a game store. Lots of tabletop and card games, along with an entire wall of gunpla that was getting swarmed by locusts. (The shop had plenty of employees! It's just difficult to plan for hundreds of voracious nerds.)

I bought way too many kits, and two sets of dice, and shoved everything in the car and we headed home.

Drive overall okay both ways, aside from a few small moments. Car itself did great. One miserable patch of construction both ways. Other side of the state is quite beautiful; there were a few moments when cresting small hills that the view was absolutely stunning.

I really shouldn't be awake right now but here I am. ^^;;
