#wig asks

(this was inspired by that 'not a braincell in sight either' tag on the post abt the cullens, which made me choke on my tea, but you're always great)

The thing about the whole Romeo and Juliet situation Twilight falls flat because Bella and Edward aren’t really separated because their families are feuding or anything of that nature. They’re not starcrossed lovers either because the audience learns about several humans who were turned to be with their vampire lover. Edward is just a self righteous prick in the context of the OG canon. (I will mention Midnight Sun but it’s not canon because it’s a sad cash grab and it is a sad attempt to retcon an already completed series.)

Look….when I was a dumb teenager I definitely shipped Leah and Edward (don’t at me. I get it) because it fit in more with that theming. You have two peoples from factions/families who are feuding with each other. Unfortunately (mostly because of Midnight Sun and rereading the series with a deeper understanding of implication that a fourteen wouldn’t necessarily grasp in its entirely), It’s hard to do something of that nature in the context of Twilight but absolutely other series have/probably will handle that werewolf/vampire Romeo and Juliet thing better.

As for the Jakeward aspect, no offense to Kristen Stewart (except for the fact she’s a Woody Allen supporter and should be held accountable for that and that’s why I mainly don’t fuck with her and the fact that her fans have been racist as fuck to FKA Twigs when Twigs and Rob dated) but the script didn’t do her justice. But honestly, that’s mostly because Bella and Edward don’t have romantic chemistry at all, nor did Kristen Stewart have chemistry with Rob Pattinson on screen. She has amazing chemistry with everyone else, though.

With the upmost respect to a lot to fic writers, especially Twilight ones, I feel like at this point a lot of us just go ahead and write that vampire Novel that we wish Twilight was. I mean I’m a writer and literature professor by trade and in training, so it’s in my nature to critique work. I see all of these concise criticisms, but what a lot of non English or writing majors have to understand that works also have to be in conversation with other works. So if we don’t actually publish our work for the masses, then the conversation doesn’t leave our circles. And for those who don’t want to publish or just enjoy writing fics, I understand that this is just your pleasure time. But I personally have realized a lot of my energy that goes into talking about Twilight is no longer from a fan pov. I went to school to write. I am at this point a fellow writer: my beef with the series is now purely from an academic and writing standpoint. This is all to say that at a certain point, if I have to strip this series to its basic structure, revamp all the characters, and do all of this work that the OG author didn’t do. I’m just going to write something better and new to be in conversation with a work that I feel fell flat. I will still talk about Twilight, of course, because its influence on vampire culture has taken form and authors of vampire literature still are in conversation with it.

Yeah, so I grew up in a little town between Knoxville and Gatlinburg Tennessee. Hometown area of Dolly Parton,  Emmett Cullen, and some of the best fucking Sweet Tea you’ll ever drink. As a kid who grew up in the lower Appalachian mountains, it was not uncommon for bears to come into town or your backyard since we and the bears shared a backyard so to speak. If you know, you know.

THE GANG GETS MAULED BY A BEAR

I have decided to structure these asks like synopses Synopsis: A polyam triad breakups right before the a nuclear diaster and have to seek shelter together in a fallout shelter with a relationship counselor and his relatives and their social circle. By gaining insight into their own relationship failings, the triad learns to cope with lost, death, and the meaning of unconventional family.

I’m a little confused by this question. You can definitely use loose hair or wefts to add into another wig. The process depends on whether the wig hair is already wefted or if it’s just loose.

For loose hair, you can make your own wefts (meaning it’s like a long strand of hair that connect along one edge). There are two common methods: sewn wefts or no-sew wefts using caulk.Here are some example tutorials:SEWN METHOD:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeSgP4IISD8 (video)http://dugfinn.proboards.com/thread/68/wefts-ribbon-sewn-method

CAULK METHOD:https://youtu.be/9bIwd7tQUxA (video)http://www.celebrationgeneration.com/blog/2015/01/26/how-i-made-that-dwarf-wig-part-1-making-wefts/http://birdewilliams.deviantart.com/art/How-to-Reuse-Wig-Fiber-149821000

If you are saying you have full wigs you want to reuse the wefts from, you can carefully seam rip the wefts from the wig base. The wefts run horizontally through the wig and are attached along the vertical ribbons in the wig. Be careful not to seam rip the threads that are holding the hair on the weft itself.

This is a good method to make a very thick wig– take two wigs of the same type, deconstruct the wig and add the removed wefts into the adjacent position on the other wig.

I get my wigs from assorted places.

I have found that Arda wigs, found here

And animestuffstore, found here

both have pretty good wigs

they are soft and they are really nice
