My Two Worlds Collide: EPBOT WRECKS

If you follow along with my Stories then you know I had a Big Bad panic attack last Sunday - the kind I mercifully only get once or twice a year - and ever since I've been laid out by my first Multi-Day Migraine.

Lemme first say to all of you who deal with these monsters on a regular basis:

Godspeed. How do you do this.

As rough as the last few weeks have been, though - zigzagging through hormone swings and depression and now into panic and pain - it's OK. I'm actually OK. I see brighter skies ahead. I've been resting up and being extra lazy/gentle with myself, trying to be patient as my body works out all the random adrenaline shakes and tears and need for more sleep, all while binging Critical Role, reading actual books, and avoiding looking at screens as much as possible.

The light sensitivity seems the most cruel, of course, since I live my life looking at screens. So the other night as I was propped up in bed with an ice pack on my eyes,  John started describing some absolutely hysterical photos he'd just found on Facebook. Soon we were both cackling, and even though I hadn't actually SEEN any of them yet, I asked him to get permission to share them here with you guys.

So without further ado, allow me to present one of the FOE Scavenger Hunt Challenges. (As narrated by John, because I'm already exceeding my screen time for today, ow.)

Uhh, hi. This is john (thoJ) here. I've never written anything on Epbot before. I'm scared.

Maybe we should just start. The FOE Scavenger Hunt is another fan-run Facebook group, and there are a lot of these photos, so I'll try to give you a good variety.

 First one of my favorites, the Icing Bracelet:

I think even her ring is icing, so funny.

Several people used Jen's Flip Flop Tutorial.

Some members put their team logo in the picture collage.

Ya know.

If you're wondering why there's a Mr. T with a beak.

:)

I love that Dominique even managed to make her "wreck" lovely:

I was happy to see a few Melted Crayon Art entries:

Let's hope that's crayon, anyway.

I was laughing so hard trying to explain this to Jen:

 

Remember our foam board PoP Display Shelf?

 The duct taped Christmas lights really sell it. :D

 I'm gonna quote Sarah on her attempt at the Penny Desk Tutorial:

"Who has time to line all those pennies up, anyway? So fussy! Didn’t have epoxy so they’re stuck down with flour paste."

 

I think this is where I had to pause to breathe for a while.

We had two people tackle our Harry Potter Nightlights:

 

 

I actually really like Derpy. Proof some of you can't wreck a craft even if you try!

Somehow I'd totally forgotten about the Creepy Doll Mobile Jen made. Probably my brain's means of self-defense.

 

Jen wants to know how many mermaid Barbies had to die to make this, Heather. And where the extra heads went. I'm OK with it if you don't tell us, though.

I have so many more good ones to show you! Let's go into a Lightning Round:

The Knights Who Say Ni Helmet 

(This was Jen's favorite when I was describing them. She says we need to do another group Ni cosplay using bananas now. Nooo.)

Faux Respirator Mask

 

DIY Pendant Lights

The dog is clearly impressed.

 Floating Candles

 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MAGICALLL

Upcycled Christmas Light Necklace

Spooky Skull Frame

This one's too good, I'm still creeped out.

And my absolute favorite:

The Candy Corn Bracelet tutorial is from WAY back in 2010. Sara describes hers as:

"A seasonally-updated version, now featuring real corn!"

I was laughing so hard I got the hiccups.

Well, it wouldn't be a Wrecks post unless we ended on something truly horrifying so... brace yourselves. 

This is Keren's version of Jen's adorable Furry Monster Christmas Tree. Keren made it with googly eyes and... hurk... the fur she brushed off her dog.

I'm torn between laughing and screaming.

Jen made me include this.
 

I'm sorry for the inevitable nightmares you're going to have.
