I am not in fact dead, but have been busy in a variety of places that aren't Tumblr. These include working on my Ace Attorney (Mostly Klapollo) badge board.
Last time I posted photos of the board, it looked like this:
I have since acquired a lot more badges and pins, and frankly there is no way they would possibly fit without decreasing the gaps considerably.
So The Beans and I have been working on it. You'd be surprised how long it takes to get everything positioned correctly through the thick fabric. The pins are relatively easy, but the button badges ("can badges" in Japanese) are a lot more effort. I have to use a darning needle to make holes, reposition the badges several times so that they are relatively straight, and then use Gorilla tape to keep them in place. The result is nowhere near perfect, but people with severe astigmatism who get upset by things not being perfectly aligned (a.k.a. my mum) can just not look.
A reel of Gorilla tape:
Here is the current status of the badge board:
though in going through my phone for these photos, I discovered another 4 badges which I forgot existed and need to find.
I don't have the skill to make art, but I do enjoy collating other people's art - which is why I find Ace Attorney and Klapollo pictures from all over Tumblr and reblog them, especially the ones with relatively few hits.
