I found this couch ( with a bunch of other things I didn’t care about) for 2$ at a second hand store
Finding dollhouse miniatures is kind of rare around here so I grabbed it, I thought at worst it would be a cheap MDF off of AliExpress or something and I could repaint it, but once I scraped a bit of the paint off I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice wood finish!
There was at least 3 to 4 layers of paint through (‘◉⌓◉’) (white, gray, maybe white again and finally pink)
Out of curiosity I pried up the fabric which was obviously not the original, to find another unoriginal fabric and pried that up too and that was still not the original 🤣 matroshka doll of upholstery
After huffing 99% alcohol and paint brush cleaner for probably 5 or so hours I ended up with this
I left the back and seat of the couch rough as it would be covered in fabric anyway, it looks like that maybe at some point this got sanded in a few spots? I fixed it up by finally using my furniture repair markers as intended (mostly I don’t think they had mini furniture in mind)
You can see on the left half where I tried different colours to see what would match best
Now new upholstery! I only had the original couch cushion seat so I decided to just redo the whole thing in silk of corse (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
I wanted it to look a little worn so I picked this really textured blueish green/cream dupini silk
From barbie would be embarrassed to have this in her house to Victorian centerpiece! Or well I would like to think so ;;;
ohhh incredible work, that final shot is such a shocking beauty!

Some of these take on an impressionist quality. Eyes are important.

obsessed with the fact that naked mole rats seem to have a whole caste of special little guy whose job it is to be really fat, horny, unhelpful, and disgusted by incest
guy whose social role is to say “I fucking hate it here, I don’t respect literally any of you people” somehow so much funnier in a mammal than a bug
I just….I just learned that there’s a word in the English language…for when you run into someone to hug them with all the enthusiasm and strength you have….I learned that it’s called glomp.
My God, English has so many words to describe physical intimacy, I’m in love
To all the people saying “Isn’t that a word made up by furries?”: No! It is a word made up by translators at Viz.
Next you’re gonna tell me kids don’t know to call the happy noises you make before glomping someone “squeeing”
Apparently this was a rehearsal for the scene, so the extinguisher was a prop one (hence the moment Miranda sassy looks at the camera/crew for how he was acting her in panic), so they went on to it.
But someone had switched the extinguisher to the actual fire thrower that would be used on the scene (I dont remember if was proposital or not or simply a mistake because they were meant to be identical).
So this is their actual reaction, cause when he pressed the valve, he really wasnt expecting to fire come out, neither was Miranda, so their reaction is 100% genuine and they did freak out as on tape.
The thing went out so well they were unable to reenact their reactions or surprise as the first time on rehearsal, so the rehearsal scene was kept and put it into the actual episode.
Are you telling me Miranda was eating that carrot with whip cream for fun and not because the scene called for it.
I feel like more people should know about the Filipino phrase bahala na si Batman. quite literally, it means it’s up to Batman. on a more figurative level, it means that you’re leaving something to God/fate - metaphorically represented by Batman, of course.
big event that you haven’t prepared for but you’re going anyway? bahala na si Batman. major exams coming up and you haven’t reviewed yet? bahala na si Batman. about to do anything remotely risky/luck-based? bahala na si Batman.
anyways, I just think it’s hilarious that Batman is now a part of our culture through this saying. is this a thing in other cultures/languages too? let me know!
@freenarnian you’re welcome lol, those are pretty much accurate translations XD
I hear this phrase thrown around a lot during exam season, and each time I imagine this silly image of Batman being annoyed as he scrambles to help thousands of college students at the same time
BTW I saw this and immediately thought “what if that’s what Stonehenge was for” and then I looked it up and apparently it’s an actual theory that holds up, they sound like massive dull bells that carry for a few miles.
