Blog about my adventures with BJD the dolls I own. Focused on my sewing and photography with lots of my opinions,ideas and projects.
I was recently interviewed by the amazing Musume and now the interview and podcast is up and running, so go check it all out! :D We talk about my process when sculpting BJDs, tips and tricks, the thoughts behind my doll company, my future comic projects (tied to my BJD characters) and more.
Go check it out today!
Today Dusty has passed away. Yesterday the veterinary gave us news that our beloved Dusty suffered from an inability to produce new red bloodcells among multiple other symtoms. He was just a little older than a year. The decision was made that he was to be euthanized to spare him from future complications as there were few treatments available to him and none presented a way to cure him. He had not begun to suffer from these issues in any extensive way yet besides a lack of energy and I’m glad he was such a great friend during the time we had him… I hope you find peace, you deserve rest.
My Secret Project has been released! OOAK Doll - The Viking Chief’s Son, Haldur. Everything about him has been handmade.
If you’d like to see more of him and read more information, head on over to my website.
So, like, Inktober is fricking awesome and stuff… But y’all know that, right? Right? Here’s my own theme for the month: http://www.geminick.com/inktober/
My favorite thing to yell out at the grocery store.

Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all, be all of special effects?
not gonna lie that still looks intimately real
I’m still somewhat convinced that someone sold their soul to create the special effects in Jurassic Park because that shit is over 20 years old and it still really, really holds up, better than the stuff in a lot of current movies, even.
Fucking witchcraft, man.
fucking look at this shit though
Literally see this post flying around with a few different responses added to the bottom each time so I’ll say it for this one myself:
THEY ACTUALLY BUILT A GIANT MASSIVELY DETAILED FUCKING ANIMATRONIC T-REX FOR ALL OF THIS THAT’S WHY THE EFFECTS ARE SO GOOD. CAUSE IT AIN’T CGI. AND IT AIN’T GUY IN A COSTUME. IT’S A BIG FUCKING ROBOT DINOSAUR. AND EVERY PART IS DESIGNED TO MOVE. IT COST LIKE HALF THE BUDGET OF THE FILM.
amazing
And they had the film it in small increments, especially in the outdoor scenes, because the rain fall kept soaking into the ‘skin’ of the rex and would slow down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and have a crew out there drying off this massive, fake dinosaur, and then they’d start filming again until it was too wet. Repeat until the end of the scene.
They used animatronics and detailed costumes for most if not all of the dinosaurs in the first movie.
The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.
And the raptors were dudes in suits. I shit you not.
One of my favorite anecdotes I’ve read on tumblr is how the t-rex robot from Jurassic park would malfunction while it was drying out. How did it malfunction, you might wonder?
Motherfucker randomly started moving.
So apparently if you were on the jp set you would sometimes hear people screaming bloody murder even though they were all well aware that it was a giant animatronic puppet and wouldn’t actually, you know, eat them.
(link to said post about malfunctioning t-rex)
Did not know this, had to reblog for awesome movie history insights.
So, I knew about the animatronics bit but I did not know the raptors were guys in suits and the malfunctioning t-rex sounds terrifying.
And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.
So of course, the power goes out.
And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.
Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while you’re inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.
And this guy hoped for the best and got it.
Some other people on stage pried open the t-rex jaws and glue guy crawled out of its mouth and was totally okay.
This is getting better and better.
I think they only had like 6 minutes of CGI
I’m just waiting for the T-Rex to come to life and leave its stand.
@spinosaurus-the-fisher is this the kind of content you love?
Realism comes at a cost, it seems.
i mean ok but why has nobody posted this:
It’s a three piece raptor suit.
Old movies had the best special effects
You make me wanna watch Jurassic Park again. xD
My favorite thing to yell out at the grocery store.

Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:
kill someone
ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong
switch the POV from your current character to another - a minor character, the antagonist, anyone
stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write
write the ending
write a sex scene
use a scene prompt
use sentence starters
read someone else’s writing
Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.
This is the literal best writing advice I have ever read. Period.
Special note: “Kill someone” means kill someone in the story. Please do not kill random real life passers by every time you hit a block. My lawyer says misunderstanding writing advice is not an acceptable defense. See you all in 25 to 50 years.
Addendum: “Kill someone” means kill a character who is not Nick Andros. This is a common error to watch out for!
however, as andrew hussie has thoroughly proved, the character you kill does not have to be one you have not previously killed. all characters can be killed multiple times. find you have a use for them after they’re dead? whoops, your plot thread is in another timeline! there really is no limit to your potential body count as long as you have the foresight to include some time shenanigans.
