((Hoooooooboy how long has it been?!))
.
I feel like whenever I watch a show, read a book, join a fandom, or whatever the frickity fuckles Iām doing, and thereās a character that the rest of the fans seem to hate or no one else seems to have a crush on, my dumbass brain decides that Iām going to love that character with all my existence.Ā
Seriously I was originally heading towards Grell back in 2011 but saw the Drocell episodes maybe a few weeks before I had to cosplay for a con and then that was IT I had found my ākinā.
Figured that while asks and stuff are building back up, I might share all of my gradually increasing Drossel cosplay tiktoks (and yes I am experimenting with using the correct name spelling sometimes, welp).
My tiktok username is nerdygoggles in case anyone wants to give them some love at the source!
Wait what's a buildings fire evacuation plan if you aren't supposed to use the elevator to get down
You go down the stairwell/fire escape. Is that weird?
But what if you have a walker or a wheelchair??
in america at least, in this situation, there isnt one. either your loved ones or the firemen can get you out using the emergency fire escapes or stairs, or you dieĀ
That's fucking horrific, thank you
āfunā little story:
last summer my friend who is an amazingly talented artist and i were in this super tall building, and sheās in a wheelchair and iām pushing her around the room. itās an art exhibit and some of her art was chosen to be showcased there and so itās all fine and dandy until suddenly an alarm starts going off
a FIRE ALARM
everyone starts running for the stairs and my friend just looks at me with this forlorn look on her face
āi canāt go down the stairsā
but iām a stubborn bitchĀ āiāll carry youā
āwhat about my chair? itās too expensive for me to be able to get another one if i canāt get this one backā
āiāll carry that tooā
and i did. we went to the stairs (by then most people from our floor were gone) and i lifted her up in a firemanās carry over my shoulder and then lifted her chair up and used the ridiculous amount of adrenaline that was coursing through my veins to make it down approximately 20 half-flights of stairs until we met some people exiting lower floors, one of which who kindly took the chair. I changed positions so i was holding my friend bridal-style which was, somehow, easier and the person who took her wheelchair (with her permission to handle it of course) accompanied me to the ground floor and then out the doors
basically there is no real protocol for people who canāt use the stairs in an emergency. itās up to the people with them, if anyone, to help them or the person to somehow make it down the stairs alone, unassisted
thank fuck that it was just a faulty alarm system, because if i was unable to carry her down those stairs and the building was on fucking fire???? then i donāt know what would have happened to her, but i donāt think it would have been very good.
itās fucking ridiculous and ableist to the absolute max.
I use a cane. When I did a day-long fire safety training at my northeast American university (UMass Amherst), I asked that exact same question: āwhat am I supposed to do if the fire alarm goes off and Iām in my lab on the twelfth floor?āĀ
the fire marshal hemmed and hawed for a while and then said to take the elevator- youāre supposed to leave it free for the fire department to use and they want able-bodied people out fast not waiting for elevators. if the fire alarm has just gone off the building probably hasnāt suffered enough structural damage to make using the elevator dangerous, and modern elevator wells are heavily reinforced. many large and high-trafficked buildings on my campus have fire rated elevators that link in with the fire alarm system so they wonāt let you off on a floor with a possible fire.Ā
if the elevator isnāt working, wait in the stairwell and call the fire department to let them know where you are. modern stairwells are also heavily reinforced- it might not be pleasant but modern building code usually requires fire-resistant stairwell doors in office and big residential buildings, also to help firefighters get in and out safely. older buildingsā stairwells may or may not be retrofitted with fire-resistant doors but a stairwell is generally the safest place to wait if you canāt get out.Ā
what happened to your friend was horrible, and iām very glad you were there to help her out, but you can absolutely use the elevator to evacuate if itās not shut down. those donāt-use-the-elevator rules are for abled people.Ā Ā
This is GOOD TO KNOW. why do they not tell people this??
See, itās not that I get over shows and whatnot; Itās more like I think Iām over a show, and then I see one post on tumblr or something on pinterest or a friend mentions it in passing⦠and back down the rabbit hole we go.
when i was depressed thoseĀ āreasons not to kill yourselfā lists never helped.. maybe they do for some people but for me they actually made me feel worse. it was likeā¦.hereās a reminder that there are all these things other people find joy in that you canāt. with a sprinkle of guilt becauseĀ āyour family/friends will miss you.ā
what i needed to hear, and so what iāll tell any of you reading this who are in the same situation, was: a lot of people recover from mental illness and go on to live full lives. itās quite likely that with treatment, a time will come when you wonāt want to die anymore and youāll find joy in everyday life. yes, you. stay alive for that possibility.
Hello folks, welcome to random nightblogging with mun Hannah because itās far too hot to get to sleep at 2:45 in the morning!
Friendly reminder that the mun has cosplayed the muse every year for the past 9 years and has been cosplaying for 12. Have some fun selfies from the past couple times!
Special thanks to folks featured in the photos, especially some of my good buds from our group the Funtom Cosplay Association aka @notreallybutlers on Instagram!
Mun has also been making some content on occasion for her mostly-cosplay tiktok which you can find by searching for nerdygoggles. If you like what you see, please consider buying me a coffee (ko-fi under the same name) as it will help to support my recently rejigged career choices (messed up by the world going to hell) as well as allow me to afford updates to equipment and cosplays for better content!
Part of me is like ah yes this is me, part of me is just like āNope itās because Iām apparently obsessed with living puppets which is an annoyingly rare trope in media ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE OF HORROR MOVIESā
āA daft idea I had for making a VERY simple AU concept somehow developed into full fledged fanfic and now I canāt stopā - a novel by me.

((Whats up folks, ya girl turns 25 in like, 40 minutes UK time š Iāve been really busy as per usual with terrible timing and even worse muse, so forgive the inactivity. That being said Iād be happy to try and update all this soon a bit and get things going again, even if itās not by much. Iām still around, just all over the place š))
23. if you could break one of your bad habits which would you choose? 25. whatās something you canāt stop buying?
āA habit? I suppose it would be beneficial to stop worrying about what my old Master would have thought about things. It really does no good. And as for things I cannot stop buying, well⦠Both Hana and Myself are terrible for buying copious amounts of materials and art supplies without a clear idea of what will be done with them.ā((Hey, donāt you fucking call me outā¦))
I am upset that there isn't more Kuro/Steven Universe crossovers but anyway Drocell would either be a Lapis Lazuli or a defective Pearl.
((Oh my GOODNESS I have thought about that crossover before too :D but honestly while I agree very much about the type of gem heād otherwise be (most likely a Pearl)...
I'd be so tempted for him to be this tiny little unrecognised piece ofĀ Hope Diamond.))
((Waddup kuroweebs Iāve been busy as all hell, distracted by other fandoms and kinda depressed af. Iām still here tho.))
Never noticed this before now, but in some official art of Drocell it shows the back of guys head and it looks like he has an undercut?
((I can see what you mean! Honestly I think his design in some shots is a little bit rushed which drives me mad and itās hard to really tell what his hair is like until the hat comes off, but I figured it was either quite spiked out or he had the slightest bit of an undercut. I canāt replicate that in my cosplay and chose to make it more of a choppy bob but both look nice.))
