how do I get a centaurosaurus and a dinosorse?

If want to buy one, I’m not really making them to sell, though keep an eye out for an Etsy store next year. If you’re asking how to make one:

1. Get a dinosaur and a horse! Solid plastic is better than hollow. Depending where you live, you should be able to get hold of a generic t-rex and a generic horse that are compatible if you shop around, they are very common toys and I got mine from dollar stores. Do not lose your nerve when you find your victims - they will come back stronger.

2. Figure out the spot where you’ll need to cut them both in half. The important thing is to try to get it so that it’s about the same thickness on both animals. If the toys are solid plastic, you can eyeball it and file down your mistakes. if they’re hollow, you’re going to want to be more careful and measure with tape or calipers, and if there’s no spot where they’re exactly the same shape it’ll be a fiddly time, so again, gotta recommend solid toys.

3. Cut them both in half! Plastic is weak and your are strong. I used a coping saw, but depending on the size and rigidity of the toys you have selected for your experiment, you may be able to use a hack saw, hobby knife, or sharp teeth.

4. Put the halves against each other and see how well they match up. There will probably be parts you will want to trim, either by carving off with a blade or filing off, to ensure you have a relatively smooth silhouette. Don’t worry about smaller ridges or about gaps, we will fix those later.

5. Glue them together. I got away with using superglue for these because the toys are very rigid, but you may want to use a more flexible glue if yours is more flexible. If the toys were hollow you’re going to have a tougher time with this step, but it’s do-able. Either carefully squeeze the toys so the openings are the right shape and carefully glue it in small sections with something quick drying, or fill the hollows with some kind of spackle to create a more rigid toy with larger glue-able surface area. 

6. Once everything’s dry, fill in the gaps. I used a mixture of PVA glue and cornstarch to make a sort of clay that I pushed into the cracks and smoothed with water and my fingertips. Do not use anything meant to mimic actual clay/ceramic, it will flake off or crack, especially if the toys are flexible. Use something more like polymer clay. After this step your victims will look like this: 

  7. Then it’s just a matter of painting them! First use some kind of primer, because plastic doesn’t like being painted. I use a grey aerosol primer. I then just spray-painted mine silver, but that’s because I’m lazy. Once they’re primed you could instead use diluted acrylic paint to do more realistic, detailed painting - this is what I did after priming for the Thomas the Tank Engine thing, and the Ant Gorilla. If you use the acrylic-and-brush technique, I recommend varnishing it afterwards.

I always assumed it would be really clear how I made them, but it occurred to me that people may not have the same crafting background as I do. I feel like it would be pretty easy for most people to do - even if you mess it up a bit, that will probably add to the goofy charm? Anyway have fun kids

I would like to hear your thoughts on trans Pickles (who has been shown to not have a penis with the beard scene) successfully sucking his own dick (just know that I'm cis and am nowhere near an expert on trans people and I legitimately do want to hear what you have to say)

A friend of mine also got a question like this and answered it pretty well here and they share a lot of my same thoughts since we nerd out about Metalocalypse quite a bit together, so definitely it’s a good starter point on this. 

My personal headcanon favors that he wore one of the many things available to him (strap ons, etc) and successfully sucked that. Why do it if he’s not going to feel it physically? Simple, because he wanted to prove he could do it. Some psychological validation cannot be purchased, it must be earned with unreasonable and inadvisable demonstrations of flexibility.

The singer in Elvenpath is Tarja Turunen, then they got Anette Olzon, and now they have Floor Jansen. If you like Tarja, you should also check out her solo stuff. It's similar to Nightwish

Ahh so many recs *-* thank you!!

It is hard to make people look conventionally attractive with that style, but by God they got it right when the band is performing at a concert 💦💦💦

Are you still friends with Dashell?

We are!  We drifted apart for a while when my family moved to CO and his moved to St. Petersburg, but we met up again in 2012 in a facebook group for people who train therapy dogs.  He lives near Philadelphia now, and works in Youth Correctional Services as a therapist teaching kids how to manage their emotions and resolve conflicts/getting and keeping them the hell out of the school-to-prison pipeline.

Ironic, I know, but he’d be the guy to know.  He’s still tiny and with no sense of fear but now he has an English Mastiff named Vladamir to sit on him.
