So remember when I said that if you got some purple fairy lights and clear silicone glue, you could make a pretty good version of Zidian? 

Well saddle up babes, because have I got news for you! 

Girlies, bros and non-binary hoes, I present to you the fibre optic whip! 

It's absolutely perfect, and with a bit of digging I found a few cosplayers who've used it already. The only problem is, during the day it looks really lame, so I still think my fairy lights idea is just that little better. 

But if you're looking for a low-cost minimal effort alternative, then this is the one for you.
