Oh right, dA is a thing... Maybe one day I'll update some things. I've been bad at updating all across the internet, tbh.

Goodbye 2015, Good Riddance
0 min read
2015 was the worst year of my life. I’ve had some bad years in the recent past, but nothing collectively takes the cake compared to this year. So I can’t speak positively about it at all. I really don’t have high hopes for 2016 either, because realistically I don’t see it getting any better. The rest is rambling and I honestly don’t expect anyone to read it. It’s just a place for me to put my depressive thoughts, which, let’s be real. No one should be subjected to that. I generally hate the end of the year. I know I’ll be having my birthday, which honestly it’s just always a depressing day for me, and I have to reflect on the fact I’m ano...

Happy birthday! 
Um, could you give me some tips for a wig I'm making? See, I'm going to cosplay as a character with lavender hair, but the wig I'm using is Dark purple. I'm wondering how to lighten the color. It's one of those plastic-y, synthetic wigs.
Sorry, I don't check dA often, so I don't know if this is useful anymore... but there's no real way to lighten wig fibers unfortunately. You can take a light wig and dye it darker with inks/etc-- and even that can only work so much. You can't successfully dye a white wig black, for example. At best you'll get gray.
Since it's plastic, you're basically coating it with a thin layer of dye, which will only tint the fibers. To cover it completely opaque, you'd have to paint them, which you can't really do with wig hair.
Anyway, I hope you found a solution for your wig! If you can't find the find color wig, it's best to start with a lighter color and work up from there.

Wow, to be honest, I'd almost completely forgotten about this comment

Well, I ended up with the wig as it was, and it wasn't too bad. But from now on, I'm not gonna use any synthetic wigs.
Nonetheless, thank you for your advice!
