Working with yarn as someone with tactile issues is the Worst. This yarn is the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen, you think. So-and-so would love this color, you decide. Then you touch the darn thing and, actually, you’d literally rather knit a scarf out of rusty barbed wire than touch it for an extended amount of time.

And yet. It’s so pretty.

#ain’t that just the worst #octo crafts #I’ve actually found sort of a work-around for this called Gloves #my little sis was Concerned I’d give myself early-onset arthritis #and so gave me these funky little pressurizing gloves #they took a second to adjust to but now I can use whatever yarn I like #would reccomend if you get achey hands or if you wanna use yarn that has repulsive textures #but it’s still the WORST when pretty yarn is Icky Textures #for I can never ever wear anything I make out of it #gift-creations only #knitting #crochet #fiber arts #is this fiber arts I think it is #yarn #stay tuned for some craft pics I’ve done a few and forgot to get them up here

I have a theory that if I could identify the center of the Venn diagram comparing my three most favorite comfort medias, I would be able to diagnose all my problems and be immediately healed

#healed of what you may ask???#that’s for me to know and you to find out #the biggest problem with this theory is it requires me to #we are currently defining it as the Thing I turn on when I’m craving serotonin #let’s seeeeee #kung-fu panda #hairspray #the musical miss me with that movie version #kill la kill #you see my problem??? you see it????#maybe it’s whimsy #but like #Bad Whimsy #BaffledOcto

I think the cardassian military uniform really does the heavy lifting for fulfilling their Perpetual Evil Aura Quotient

#mirror!Garak is like 50% more alarming than Normal garak and I am blaming it on the outfit #he’s also more visibly unhinged but shhhh #they come at you and it’s like an evil gothic dorito parade #clothes really do make the man I guess #cardassians #ds9 #Star Trek

So, is it cool to mack on the vaguely evil AU version of your dead spouse? Like, morally speaking? Asking for a friend

#I don’t know the answer to this question #also they think you’re also their vaguely AU evil spouse I think #that’s where the morality is getting wobbly I think #Benjamin Sisko #ds9 #Star Trek #like it isn’t THAT bad right?#but feels weird #messy relationship ahoy

Why is Sisko so good at projecting Manic Murder Energy. Where did he get this skill

#it’s like flipping a switch #you start with the mildly intense but generally friendly Captain Sisko #and then BAM #he’s got those crazy eyes #he did it during the bell riots to make the Hat Man like him #he’s doing it right now in the mirrorverse to keep Mirror!Bashir from imploding the alliance #it’s just a whole energy shift i don’t know how else to explain it #Normal Sisko wouldn’t do anything worse than giving me a stern lectur e #Crazy-Eyes Sisko would trigger a boobytrap to kill me insrantly if given the chance #Benjamin Sisko #ds9 #Star Trek #French trek

To commemorate watching the Phantom Of The Opéra for the first time in years, please enjoy my most favorite piece of fanfiction I’ve ever found:

#it kills me #I make everyone I befriend read it #I am now extending this dubious honor to the void #mostly so I don’t have to hunt down the link the next time I think about it #PLEASE read this it’s like 1000 words #adult themes #it’s not like raunchy or anything but the word orgasm does appear facetiously one time #The Phantom Of The Opera #fanfiction #new tag just dropped for my fic recommendations #octo fic recs

If you haven’t licked the entire circumfrence of a book in a last-ditch attempt to unlock its secrets, what’s even the point

#shoutout to that time Quark was driven to tasting the New Ferengi Rules like it would somehow help him #my guy please #what was that gonna achieve #is circumference the right word? don’t worry about it #ds9 #quark #Star Trek #ferengi #my new litmus test for how insane a book makes me feel #French trek

Me watching Heart of Stone: hmmm, something is…familiar about this…

#here I am trying to appreciate Odo ripping out his own heart in 4K HD #and yet I am PLAGUED by the silliest of parallels #Star Trek #ds9 #avatar: the last airbender #katara #it’s funny cuz neither katara nor Kira were actually trapped #and in fact their apparent imminent deaths is to press their love interests into a Test #but ALSO #Odo ouch my man you didn’t have to do yourself like that #he’s really just gonna walk it off #I am watching him walk it off right this minute #this is why future Odo commits so many crimes dangit talk about your feeling to someone #French trek #nerys kira

I have concluded that all flavors of uprising in media that go violently awry are unfortunately in possession of a Hat Man. The Hat Man is only there cuz he wants to stab someone, light something on fire, or get some cash out of it, and revolutions generally do that. He is the anathema to revolts and movements that are actually trying to make good things happen. Beware the Hat Man

#brought to you by the Bell Riots #star trek #ds9 #that Hat Man was a MENACE #held in check only because Sisko is possibly a the scariest most moral man alive #Decepticons #Full of Hat Men #there are probably also Hat Men autobots but they’ve been Sisko’d by Optimus #sometimes there’s just a group of Hat Men that decide to band together and overthrow something #that’s my awful man #doflamingo #and also #crocodile #if you’re writing political drama and wanna spice it up I suggest sprinkling in a hat man #for flavor
