God it would be fun to play games with a bunch of people who have no shame about how loudly they're belching into the mic, myself included

Burping semi-quietly and saying "excuse me!" To be polite when someone chimes in with "that was nothing!" Only to *buuuuuUUUUURP!* even louder, with a laugh and "THAT was a burp."

Interrupting a tense moment in a match where we're all trying to survive with a huuuuge belch (which of course would throw me off/fluster me and I'd probably die)

Casually burping mid conversation ("So are we *buuuurp* gonna start another game or what? Hey, I just *uuurp* started playing something new we should try!) and not even acknowledging it 😍 Or if they DO acknowledge it, it's because they're cocky and smug about the fact they keep burping ("what? I drink a lot of soda!") and maybe they even love belching to annoy their friends or make them laugh (or tease in my case)

One-upping each other about their belches until the whole call turns into an incoherent mess of people burping and laughing about it? Bring it to me now.

Or someone being especially gassy mid-game, so much that they let out a whole rumbling monster of a belch and make someone else stroke their ego with a surprised reaction - "Oh my god, what the hell was that?"

For the folks curious about templates, these are the shapes I cut from cardboard. I added a couple little pieces of cereal box cardboard as structural support in various points, like the bridge of the nose and behind the beak. Also, I ended up cutting the forehead piece a little smaller, which I marked on the paper, but I kept the template size in case you want to see how it originally looked.

It's a completely different piece of wearable art. It has a different soul. It has a different feel.

Bear's mask templates! I just want to stress that our masks are extremely low tech and budget friendly. They're made out of cardboard, hot glue, and fleece, with an elastic band in the back. I used a little sheer black fabric I had leftover from my terror bird costume for the eyes.

Fleece and felt are very forgiving fabrics and you can basically just cut a single large piece and stretch it to fit, gluing it to the cardboard one small section at a time. The fabric was the only purchase we made for these, and it was in the form of thrift store blankets.

this was all stuff i had lying around, most of it was obtained for other craft projects that i haven't yet gotten around to
