My latest knitting project is a ludicrous idea - a large Shetland ring shawl in yarn so thin it's basically thread. I am aiming to knit this for my wedding which is possibly next year, and it almost certainly won't be finished by then. I will try to update here as I progress and face the consequences of my hubris. Top image is my progress so far on the edging of the first border. Bottom image is a completed project by Ravelry user Q-knitter.

Pattern: The Queen Ring Shawl by Sharon Miller (Heirloom Knitting)

Yarn: Jamieson & Smith, Shetland Supreme (100% pure Shetland wool)

I think Amanda fully believed she and Sarek were dating for weeks or months before he realized that she thought that.

Like, Sarek is thinking he's doing SUCH a good job in Human Diplomacy, he has made A Human Friend. They do activities together, consume meals together, communicate outside of work functions in an informal fashion. Amanda makes an effort to show him Human culture and landmarks that are more likely to appeal to a Vulcan and is considerate of his different physiology in a way most Humans usually forget to be. She doesn't touch him without warning but still somehow uses body language to convey to other Humans that they are together on their activities. She gives him lots of signs of Human comfort and intimacy without pushing too hard at his Vulcan boundaries. He's Succeeding at Human socializing!

Meanwhile Amanda has like. Introduced him to her parents. Taken him to friends' weddings. Done super obvious This Is A Date activities with him, only tailored to accomodate Vulcan preferences about physical contact and emotional displays. SHE thinks she is doing So Good at Wooing The Vulcan. Sometimes he willingly touches her when they are out in public, to like, keep them from getting separated, or pull her out of the path of danger or discomfort, which as far as she knows is like Vulcan First Base.

But also she is a Human woman they have been dating for months and taking it slow for her Vulcan beau is beginning to grow...somewhat frustrating! A little! Like she enjoys spending time with him but also! She would sure like to touch him more! Maybe kiss him! She would even settle for feeling up his hands the way Vulcans do because she has gotten so preoccupied with his hands since they've been dating, she feels like a 19th century maiden, it's insane.

So she casually broaches the subject of whether or not Vulcans engage in sexual activity outside of Pon Farr (when they're having a quiet evening alone in one of their apartments, obviously, you don't have a sex talk with your very shy boyfriend in public) and Sarek is like. Well that's a very intimate topic, Amanda, why do you ask? Is there a Vulcan you are interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with?

And she's just like What.

And he's like (gently condescending) That sort of question could imply a "come-on", as you Humans would say.

And she's like I SURE HOPE IT WOULD, SAREK, MY BOYFRIEND OF SIX MONTHS, WITH WHOM I WOULD LIKE TO BE PHYSICALLY INTIMATE

And Sarek is like WHAT.

finally got a chance to pop fresh batteries into the three (!!!!!) tamagotchi connections recently unearthed from the dumpster fire that is my childhood bedroom, and haha wow I sure did own these in middle school! you can tell because the owner's names are ari and aloxa, and the tamas are named aya, ienzo, and zero.

I was excited to see what kind of tamas I had raised (while being prepared to be mad if eighth-grade me had managed to take better care of them than current me is managing with my 2024 connection), but unfortunately they're all generation one tamas and none of them are even adults. which. makes a lot of sense; these all have a pause function and I would have kept them paused in class. i would also have paused them before they ended up in the box sara found them in, which is why the batteries died but my tamas didn't.

ienzo is a good care teen, though!!! I'll have to try really hard to raise him into a good care adult, and then cry because I can't then marry him to my 2024 model, because they can't connect.

I think once the battery runs out on my 2024 v3, I'm going to just run my vintage ones. I can't run the two v3s together because one of them needs new buttons, but the v3, v4, and v4.5 can at least all connect to each other.
