I also found a vendor listing with free returns although it's $5 more than another of their listings, but I'll take the insurance. So in a couple of weeks I'll see how it goes.

Alright hell, I ordered it. I'd be between an XL and a 2X but went for the 2X because I have really broad shoulders and that's always the catch point with manufactured costumes (or driving suits, flight suits, anything with me really).

Well shit, I found a 3D print of a Garnet Rod that I think looks proportional and it can be easily lengthened to preference. 😆 I'm going to end up doing this, aren't I?

Seriously though, if you'd ever like to discuss how the world is a far less interesting place without Vivienne Westwood, why John Fluevog fanatics are nuts, that Jimmy Choo is the only label where the quality matches the cost, or what a hack Christian Louboutin is - I'm down.

I think a lot of people make the talisman on the Garnet Rod way too big. When Catzia was around she used to see pre-modified Sailor Moon footwear but if I remember correctly, Pleaser Seduce-2000 is the general base for Sailor Pluto.

Sourcing a base for the boots wouldn't be the problem (shoe fashion us totally my thing if it had never been apparent) - I'd want to make a Garnet Rod and it would have to be reasonably accurate and matched to my height, which would be about 6' 7" in this.

Crossplay crosspost because my ridiculousness should be archived everywhere. I need to talk myself out of buying this, because it would be for me. lol

This is still my favorite book. It made a tremendous impact on how I see the world, from the time I first read it "The lawn and drive had been crowded with the faces of those who guessed at his corruption—and he had stood on those steps, concealing his incorruptible dream, as he waved them goodbye."

My wife and I sometimes.

It definitely had a very small moment when I remember it being very popular with my anime friends but after Evangelion hit, it just kind of got swept away. Same thing with Zenki on the other side of Eva, when Eva caught the attention of the mainstream.
