So I made an "arc reactor" for my second Halloween costume, and per request by [personal profile] calzephyr, here's how.

Instructions, ingredients, and images )

And here's a few selfies of the final product.

This was inspired by the fanfic Loki and Toni's Excellent Adventure in World Saving, which has a female Toni Stark. pprfaith (author) and reena_jenkins (podficcer and editor) write an amazing Toni - she's got so much depth to her reactions to the world and to what has happened to her. She's completely consistent with the Tony Stark in the films, but with the added complexity possible in writing, and add on top of that all the struggles of a woman in the normal world, let alone the business/engineering/superhero world that she's made her own, and on top of that she was born the wrong gender for what her father Howard Stark wanted, and you have an amazingly broken but still REAL Toni Stark. She is all bluster and bravado, and even she never knows how much of it is real and how much is a show intended to throw other people off track. And all of it is entirely believable.

Go read it.
