Illgib – Hellgate Guard #HellgateLondon #cosplay
Hellgate London cosplay love! Now this REALLY makes me want to make mine!
I literally was looking at my statue 10 minutes ago as I was waiting by the phone (I did get through btw!) thinking my worbla could actually be used to make Avalon after all. Nice though to see a design from the game (Pretty sure? I know there were various armour sets available).
‘There you are. I see you’
Reaper!!! mashmashmashmash.. sorry. Slightly, ehem, twitchy there.
*crickets*
No one gets my jokes.
Three legs, single red “eye”…. yeah I know… there’s more to life than Reapers. Enjoy your other games and movies, I’m still having Rannoch nightmares….
I squint a lot. If I appear to be frowning I’m probably just trying to see.
“Are you a Sailor Scout?”
“I’m sailor Freddy Mercury.”
SOMEONE DID IT!!! Freddie would approve.
So I need to organise some vaccinations. I’m not highly enthused for this as I just told my Rheumy I have been remarkably free of infections and boom. I think I may have a wee bitty of an ulcer on my foot which has lead to a wee bitty of a sore tummy…

Secret identity blown after plea on Facebook - Metro
The story on Facebook was very touching. A father published a photo of his missing children and asked for help finding them. And thousands helped sharing the post and finally one person recognized the children and let him know where to find them.
The missing information was that the woman was living under protection and with a new identity after leaving the man. Now he found out where she was. She was forced to move again – to a women’s shelter.
“The worst case scenario is that you contribute to someone being beaten, raped or killed. You have to think twice before sharing this type of searches for missing people on Facebook”, says Lotta Sonemalm, at The Swedish Association of Women’s Shelters and Young Women’s Empowerment Centres , (SKR).
Women who are given protected identities all live under threat.
“It can be violence in close relationships, criminal gangs that you wish to leave and women who have been subjected to honour violence”, Lotta Otterdal, at Frida Women’s Shelter told radio show P4 Extra.
Swedish police also warns against sharing posts about missing people on social media.
“If a person living under a protected identity has their whereabouts revealed it result in catastrophic consequences for the person in question,” says criminal investigator Anders Ahlqvist to magazine Dagens Juridik.
I know that “help find this missing person!” posts are popular on Tumblr (especially accompanied by guilt-tripping) but this gives important food for thought.
Not something one usually thinks about.

This may explain a fair bit about me, but when the complaints about me being too experienced/good to enter the contest in 2003-2004 (and continued after that really) I thought about it and came to the conclusion that no… no it was not a valid complaint because I started learning pre-internet when it took understanding the card catalogue in the library and getting super familiar with the dewey decimal system. And then everything was self taught and in reach of most people (and at the time I was stuck with the Waitakere Library which had very little in the way of good costume books!
But I forget I had a freaking huge disadvantage with my deformed hands and you know… continued pain and weakness which made actually physically making anything that much harder. I can’ recall if it did occur tome at the time… I know I was shirty when someone queried why it would take me so long to hand sew (as in needle and thread in hand) a dress even though she knew I had RA. I still can’t understand how anyone could think it would be anything other that difficult…
Anyway, it just is an example of perception vs reality.
Speaking of, I am now typing with my left hand as my right has seized up. So time to actually sleep.
