Winter Soldier: Metal Arm Tutorial

(Photos by Antler Productions)

I recently rebuilt the metal arm for my Winter Soldier cosplay and took process photos every step of the way. So here’s a tutorial showing how I did it! I wanted an arm that was cheap/non-messy to build and lightweight/flexible to wear, so I came up with a method using foam and duct tape.

Wonder Woman would probably be so heartbroken if she heard there were people who thought her feminism was trans-exclusionary

I told you so.

BoJack, I don’t like..anything about me. None of this is me. What am I supposed to do? I don’t know what to do. Am I doomed? Are you doomed? Are we all d o o m e d?

J.R.R. Tolkien fell in love with Edith Mary Tolkien when he was 16 and she 19. His guardian disapproved (both he and Edith were orphans), but they finally married when Tolkien was 24 — just a few months before he was deployed to the Somme.

The next year, Tolkien began composing the earliest version of a tale to which he would always return. It’s about the love of Beren, a mortal man, and Lúthien, daughter of the Elven King of the forest realm of Doriath. The disapproval of Lúthien’s father sends the two lovers on a series of perilous quests, but they rescue each other through bravery, music and love — with an assist from a magical dog.

Tolkien’s son, Christopher, proves an able guide through the story, three versions of which have been published in a new book.

‘Beren And Lúthien’ Reflects Tolkien’s Real Life Love Story

So I have to give a drunk lecture for a club I’m in, and I picked Tolkien of course, and I thought you all might want to see my visual aids. (These are just the fun facts, lecture itself will explain important things like what the hell is a silmaril and why do Maedhros and Luthien want it)

'. . .Thy dearest treasure I desire; nor rocks nor steel nor Morgoth's fire nor all the power of Elfinesse shall keep that gem I would possess. For fairer than are born to Men A daughter hast thou, Lúthien.'

Okay so like NO one has heard of this musical before but like...

JASPER IN DEADLAND IS SO GOOD.

Okay summary time: It’s basically about this kid named Jasper [Who really likes diving and wears a kickass red sweater) has this best friend named, Agnes. They love each other, but Jasper thinks she deserves better. She confesses and Jasper unable to reincorporate for the reason mentioned above and doesn’t give her an answer. SO trying to get an answer, they say they’re gonna meet at this cliff (They’re hang out <3) but Jasper gets there a little late and Agnes tries diving off the cliff and fails….and also drowns. Oh no she’s dead. But Jasper, being the lovesick and selfless boy he is jumps into save her. Saying that he’d give his soul up too save her. And might also being dying too. And then BOOM we meet the ‘villain’ Mr. Lethe (Yes like that river in the Greek Mythos) whose basically argues with his boss (Psst it’s pluto/hades) about if this soul should be let in. He loses and let’s Jasper’s soul into ‘deadland’. Thus the title, after a dramatic opening sequence he makes it his mission to save Anges from the underworld and bring her back to life.

Long story short: It’s a modern day Orpheus and Eurydice retelling (Kind of) as well as a crossover fanfic (musical) with various underwold myths. Some examples:

Lethe is a River in the Greco-Roman Mythos (as mentioned above). It makes you forget things.

Cerberus guards the front gate into deadland

OH Deadland is split up into ‘circles’ like how Dante’s inferno.

The Chiron shows up too, the greek ferry man

Osiris shows up (though it’s brief) as a singer in a club in ‘city circle’

Said club is named Helheim (From Norse mythology)

Speaking of Norse Myth! Loki and Hel show up as well for a quickie cameo as Lackies.

The second gate is protected by Ammit, a demon from the edyptain mythos that eat hearts (She even has her own song) Sadly Anubis doesn’t get s shout out :(

When he get too the most ‘hellish’ part of deadland it’s ruled over by a guy named ‘Little Lu’. A fallen angle aka Lucifer.

Sisyphus gets a named drop as he is in the ‘hell’ part of deadland

A little more less known Greek myth as well, the daughters of Danus are there too. As well as Brutus, that guy who stabbed Caesar a bunch of times.

Remember how I said this story was a retelling or Orpheus and Eurydice? The show knows this because Eurydice basically plays the part of a Obi-wan Kenobi in this and helps Jasper on his journey. IT’S ALMOST LIKE SHE WANTS THEM TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING BC SHE DIDN’T GET ONE :((((((((

Elysium is one of the last circles.

Pluto or better known as Hades is the big boss of Dealand with his wifey Persephone. They’re lethe’s boss.

BUT THOSE ARE JUST SOME REFERENCES THAT MAKE MY MYTH LOVING HEART SWELL!!! I’m sure they’re are more (Since I sadly never made it to a stage production). But the real meat is the songs, I’ll give some of my favorites.

Jasper Goodbye (The opening song)

What is Life (Cerberus’s ‘solo’)

The Killing (Japser’s Answer to Cerberus’s question)

The Forgetting (Sometimes your just start speaking in Portuguese when a magical river washes away your memories)

Living Dead (A bunch of Dead people love being dead: The song)

Hungry for Your Heart (Remember when I said Ammit got a solo. This is that solo.)

Stroke by Stroke (Uplifting water metaphor: The song)

Beat and Broken Spirits (The most fun song about internal damnation sung by Satan)

Awful People (Undead man/Physical embodiment sings about how awful the world is, obviously.)

Elysium (Everything sucks back home, maybe we should stay dead?: The song)

Lifesong (Eurydice’s solo! Basically Uplifting life metaphor: The song)

The Trade / The Swim (HAPPY ENDINGS ALL AROUND! Hello Jasper Hello)

REALLY I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT JASPER IN DEADLAND AND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD CHECK IT OUT. The whole album is on youtube and itunes. And you can find a lot of the workshops on there as well.

Some just cool things:

Jasper in deadland Sizzle Reel (The sets are beautiful, honestly. Do you see Eurydice (women in blue)? Beautiful. And Cerberus?)

Living Dead

Hungry for Your Heart

THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF STROKE BY STROKE

Really look up this musical. It’s worth listening too.

GUYS FUCKING LISTEJ LISTEN LISTEN TO THIS OH MY GOD IM FLIPPING OUT WHY DOESNT THIS HAVE A FANDOM

Beyond the Facade

Been a weird mood this week since all my stress has died down and feelings have resurfaced.

I am forever just another fool,

In a world I know will always cruel.

I'm lost behind my laughing facade

Trapped by an immovable God.

I could disappear.

Would you even shed a single tear

I'm a drop in a flood,

Sentenced to life in a contract of blood

Peering through windows of communities,

Doors slammed shut, locked tight, no place for me.

Forever dreamin', hearin', not seein' possibilities

Entangled in the roots of my family tree.

I live a lie, I am not what you see.

Two conflicting paths lie ahead of me.

One leads to myself, the other someone else.

I put on some make-up Some Lavern Baker I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963 Until I wake up And I turn back to myself

The most important things are the hardest to say because words diminish them.

Stephen King (via quotemadness)

Since realising my gender fluidity I've never really acted much on it. My close minded family upbringing has left me with a lot of discomfort about trying that sort of thing but today. Well last night. After moments of brutally tough dysphoria over the last week. I shaved my legs and chest! This may seem so small but my God it was exhilarating and terrifying! Now I've got to keep them hidden as I fly home hoping no family will notice, it's a small part of feminism I get to carry and it feels great.
