I bound @perpetualcontrolleddrowning's beautiful and heart-wrenching SVSSS fanfic, Dreaming You the Same Sun in a Different Place into a book. One for each of us!

Because it's SVSSS, everything just had to be green. I used scrapbook paper and recycled fabric for the covers, with hand-drawn gold foil lettering and cotton thread for the endbands. I accidentally wrecked one copy while casing in, so I had to start over with all new cover paper. Luckily I have a whole block of stone-textured papers, and there was another one in green. Considering this story is about rebuilding connections in an unfamiliar world, it's kind of fitting after all.

The title font is Love Letter TW. It was super popular among computer nerds in the 90s. It was even used in an anime about people whose consciousness shifts onto the internet when they die. Sounds familiar, right? 😉

The author's copy will go into the mail in a few days, and mine will take its place on my bookshelf. I'm so glad I was able to bind this!

It is a very, very big box

oh my everloving fucking god.

one day, I will hand these photos over to an architect, and tell them "make me this, just as it is."

only change I'd like, is to swap out the tiled counters for a mossy green concrete, tinted quartz, or that composite stuff that's made from old shredded US currency, which would also be a most becoming green amid all the wood. And that's just because I've never been a big fan of tiled counters, but shit, if that meant the difference between having this house or not, I'll survive o_o

Very different 1979 home in San Diego, CA. 4bds, 3ba, 3,613 sq ft. $1.675m.

The exterior's rough dark wood looks very rustic, so it was surprising to see more contemporary wood, stone, and cement inside. Note the beautiful stained glass front door, too.

Unique fireplace design and a beamed vaulted ceiling in the living room.

A wall of windows with a view of the private courtyard.

Here's an interesting feature.

There's another fireplace in the den. Nice built-in shelving makes a perfect corner for a desk.

This is quite a large space.

Details of the stained glass in the door.

This room has gorgeous wood walls. I'm wondering if there's a bedroom back there on the right.

Around the fireplace there's the kitchen and a door to the garden.

Beautiful original wood in the unique kitchen. Looks like a built-in Lazy Susan on the counter.

Love the curves, especially in the glass doors. Beautiful tile backsplash and counters.

I don't know why they don't show a bedroom, but they do have this amazingly unique bath. 2 beautiful bowl sinks and what looks like a fireplace feature. The rounded cabinetry is so amazing and everything is so perfectly preserved.

This bathroom is stunning.

Isn't this a unique tub and shower? The design is a combination of tile and wood.

They also featured this curvy bath. The baths in the home are amazing.

Beautifully landscaped yard. Lot size 10,889 sq ft.

This is such a beautiful house, even down to its front steps <3

Penny for the Guy?

Ran out of steam so this doll is done for now.

She’s a Disney Fairies Fawn head on a curvy MTM.

Made her skirt using @dollsahoy ‘s pencil skirt pattern. Thank you!

Her hair is poly, I think? It’s very fine and frizzes easily. I attempted my first hair cut and it’s uh, not good. But honestly, I’ve seen dolls fresh out of the box with similarly bad cuts so it’s fine.

Want to come to Vincent and Reeve’s Halloween party?  They’ve got cookies, candy, and potions for us to enjoy!   If Vincent has enough to drink, Chaos might make an appearance, too!

There's something funny about this mansion...

Day 1 - Lost

Little Sephiroth was distracted and suddenly realized he was lost in a city full of strangers! Just when things looked dire, Aerith and Tifa found him again! Who knows? Maybe even Cloud felt a hint of pity in his heart. 🤭

I keep looking out for Joes I could conceivably piece together into at least one custom Sephiroth (based on my personal preferences as an idiot AU generator,) and what I tend to find is loads of ideas that would work while probably being funny only to me.

Take Ripper, here. I now need his pelvis, to make a Sephiroth in Daisy Duke jean shorts. Shipwreck would have the same color, I think, but those are Navy uniform pants. Not the same. This is just what I'd need. Of course, I'll also have to find who has at least knee-high boots but skin-tight pants that I can paint into bare thighs. All for no particular reason, than to amuse myself. And brother, will it ever.

G1 My Little Pony Yum Yum as a doll is in progress! She’s got a body that matches her head, and I washed the gel out of Zip’s hair to see if this rooting pattern would work with the approximate hairstyle I had in mind. The outfit is just the one Shadow High Natasha came with, with a pink scrunchie from Target added on the bottom. Her head is a g5 Style of the Day MLP! These have a much improved head and body sculpt from the first run of g5s.

I want to give her Yum Yum’s classic bubblegum pink hair I think, and I have plans to make her a different outfit. I think Yum Yum loves anything with a Peter Pan collar and 1950’s/vaguely Sweet Lolita influences, with a touch of lovecore, since fashion inspired by children’s Valentine’s Day decorations matches her color scheme so well. Besides the poofy sleeved dresses with circle skirts, someday I visualize her in a pair of maroon corduroy overalls or an oversized heart sweater. As a stand in for cutie marks, I’m considering drawing elaborate, stylized back tattoos. G1 Mimic and Munchy are on my list for similar treatment at some point.

Since my ghost mug, Mr. Spookington, steals any photo he’s in, you should know you can get your own from @skeletaldropkick .
