There was a guy who went to a steampunk night that wore a hat with slowly moving gears and green LED accessories along with phenomenal style and makeup. 10/10 stood out, but he made it the look so cool.

Wait… is there such an obnoxiously insane thing as an actual amateur plastic crazy straw design movement?!?

Fucking hell, this world just got considerably more interesting!! (and by interesting, I mean batshit crazy, obviously. Which means the same thing as :unicorn_joy:)

Oof sorry, it felt like my stick figure comic from XKCD made it seem like I was belittling or cutting your experience down. Yeah not intended. When in fact I think the most cool thing to do from within a countercultural, anachronistic, or meta group is to stand out proudly.

Not at all!

I absolutely love random stuff, and the thought that there might actually be such a crazy subculture made me giggle!! :sweat_smile:
(In a positive way)

That was actually a very good and well appropriate comic to be posted! ^^

I love the commitment involved in wearing those things!! :star_struck:

Kinda weird to say this on this forum don’t you think?
I mean fancy straws sound relatively normal compared to… what you do.

Agree - basically every subculture is to be celebrated, because every subculture involves creativity, individualism, passion (for stupid little things most people would simply ignore, usually^^) and the will to consciously deal with the ā€œmain cultureā€. I don’t neccessarily like every subculture, but each of them gets my respect simply for daring to be different.

And yes, a plastic crazy straw design movement is definitely a cool thing to have in this world! :smile:

I found this funny site here by chance, it basically lists every kind of style one could think about…

Very useful link, thanks!

I could identify with it the aesthetic of some artists I like, like Grimes or ā€œFaith and the Museā€ :sunglasses:

I don’t know how ā€œusefulā€ it acutally is (except for spending far too much time there :wink: ), but it is really broad and covers tons of stuff I’ve never heard about before :smile:

What I really like are the shop recommendations on some of the pages - I actually found really cool clothes that way!

Haven’t had the issue in over a year iirc though

I live in a ittle bitty town. But it’s very touristy for a backwoods. I’ve had the idea now for awhile that I want to start making small outdoors art pieces for everyone to enjoy. I’d like there to be something to look at / touch / do on every block along main street. It’s good for the local economy, and it just makes the world a prettier place to be in. Random acts of beauty, ya know?

Took a first step today by making a metal xylophone (technically, a glockenspiel) for the kids to play with. It’s 7 feet tall, and 4 foot, 4 inches wide.

It still needs a few finishing touches and a coat of paint. Anywho, thought you’d enjoy.

Next I want to do a sword hilt in an Anvil and Stone. With a little brass plaque with the Arthurian quote on it. ā€œWhosoever, pulleth this swordā€¦ā€

I have the musical talent of a potatoe. Pretty sure I’m good with it either way.

Omg do this

As an added quirk… you could possible put some kind of mechanism to LOCK the blade in, and rig a XACV2 into the hilt :wink:

If you’re ever in Dallas and you like corn, I recommend Rocio! Always hit up his stand at the farmers market when I’m in town. Can’t get elotes like this back in Kansas City.

Edit: he made mine extra spicy this time, and now I’ve got heart burn. It burns sssoooo good. XD
