Really Big Coin Skrekkøgle

This is our Really Big Coin. It is big because it makes other things look small when photographed next to it. Actually, it is a 20:1 replica of the EUR 50-cent, you see it being milled out here. We needed to do quite a bit of sanding, lacquering and smudging to obtain the desired look and some climbing to get into required shooting position (you need to get up real high to take good pictures). The result is a short series of photographs, attempting to visually scale down real-sized objects.

I don’t know how the whole debate about the X-Files’ original demographic got started, so it would be foolish for me to enter into it. But I have been interested to see the information going around about tumblr’s actual demographic breakdown, and to discover that the percentage of people on tumblr under the age of 18 is comparatively small.

I’m 46. I can tell you why I’m on tumblr, and why it makes sense to me that a lot of people in my age range or slightly younger are on it. And yet I too had the impression, when I first signed on, that tumblr was basically a teenagers’ site, and quite frankly felt very weird about that at first. I’m going to talk about what ‘social media’ (we were not calling it that then) was like back in the 1990s when we first started using it, and why I think tumblr replicates some aspects of that experience, and how and why I think tumblr creates the impression that its main demographic is 13-18 year olds. This is all subjective opinion and you don’t have to believe any of it. But you know, old people, we are always trying to share our wisdom. We can’t help it. I know it’s annoying.

A while ago me and @edelkirschehandmade were making Project Hail Mary rebinds at the same time, and both of us went the extra mile of making slipcases for it and during the whole process I created a step-by-step tutorial how to make one for edelkirsche in the @renegadeguild satellite channel

Part 1 will be how I made the casing and put them together

Part 2 will be how to glue the cloth on

I learned how to make slipcases by following DAS video tutorial, but if you're like me and not the biggest fan of video tutorial, I will try my best to explain my steps here.

This is not a 1:1 tutorial of DAS slipcase tutorial, this is how I have been making mine. I also use various tool I purchased from Schmedt/iBookbinding that help me keeping the pieces in place when assembling. I will also link them in my posts (nothing is sponsored, needed to hit Schmedt's minimum order amount couple of times and grabbed them.)

“The Eiger from the Mettenberg.” Alpine studies. 1912.

Peter Barfuß? Vielleicht dann die Szene ausm Buch mit der Verfolgungsjagd im Dunkeln?

Ok also da schauen sie definitiv von außen rein ins Museum, welches geschlossen ist (selber Boden wie im nächsten Bild.)

Ich Liebs das die Anzüge der drei die jeweilige Farbe haben!!! Bob ist das rote Fragezeichen Agenda auf die 1 lol

Spatort ist so groß im Tatort-Fandom und mischt so kräftig mit, dass ich inzwischen wenn ich Fanfiktions von anderen Ships oder Teams lesen möchte, Saarbrücken explizit rausfiltern muss. Kein anderes Team hat so viele Crossover in andere Tatort Teams. Das freut mich total für die Spatort Fans, enttäuscht mich aber auch weil ich eben für Team Berlin oder den deutsch-polnischen Polizeinotruf was lesen will und keine Auftritte von Saarbrücken dabei haben muss. Und wenn mir 60 Fanfiktions angezeigt werden, ich Leo/Adam rausfilter und 5 übrig bleiben, ist das immer etwas sad. Ich empfinde den Spatort ehrlich gesagt nicht mal mehr wirklich als Tatort-Team, das ist irgendwie komplett abgekapselt. Die vorherrschende Stellung genau dieses Teams empfinde ich im allgemeinen Fandom manchmal als etwas überfordernd.

(Eine etwas ungerechtfertige Beschwerde, weil Fandom existiert nur wenn man selbst mitmacht und mitschreibt, das ist tatsächlich eine völlig irrationale emotionale Reaktion und mir absolut bewusst. Seid aktiv im Fandom, egal ob Spatort oder Nicht-Spatort!).
