so today at work one of my coworkers hands me a box
I have no context for this. He’s a 50? 60? Year old plumber who tends to walk into the office, tell a dad joke, and leave. I’ve just arrived at work and am still putting my purse away. So he hands me this box and says it comes with instructions. I open it and unfold this
He says his great grandma probably made it
This pansy is the tiniest pocket in the world
It could use some blocking after who knows how many years in the box but look at these sweet little pansies!
The pattern was clearly typed on a typewriter, several pages of it. I guess this was an apron specifically for having your friends over for tea.
I just happened to be wearing a skirt that kind of goes with it, so I did wear it all day (it’s a @mayakern skirt!) and another friend said I look like I should be living in a shoe. Perhaps as some sort of mouse girl making pastries for the other woodland creatures. But uhhhhh what an incredible heirloom piece to just be handed. It’s probably twice as old as I am. I’m definitely going to bring it to stitch circle this week
insane how Oscar gets a "no one you'll ever meet" and Noel gets a "THERE IS A VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD IT DESCRIBES EVERYTHING I SEE BECAUSE IM BLIND BTW AND HIS NAME IS JOHN AND YOU TWO SHOULD KISS"
I love how you draw Luffy!!! But seeing Gear five Luffy?? Could you draw Ace’s reaction is he was still around? Also maybe more doodles of huge ass gear 5 dude?
ahh tysm!! I need u to know I started to draw an answer to this earlier this week and it turned into that one I posted w giant loof and law. There’s also more g5 in my queue now lol. Tysm for this ask I love g5!!
“I don’t know, how amazing is he [Timothée]? It was so incredible to get to work with him. He works so hard and he’s so powerful. It was a true joy to get to do that and our favorite actors were all surrounding us. We had these incredible titans around us so what a moment.”

dear anon i am giving u an ibuprofen and tucking u into bed. like a grandparent w dementia whom i found wandering the empty halls and mumbling incoherencies. sleep well ily
Another thing that I find interesting is how the 'Hey Jude' tension between Paul and George is a big deal for Paul to the point he is still talking about it.
Meanwhile George never talked about it beyond a music reference in 'isn't it a pity'. For all his public complaints about Paul, 'Hey Jude' wasn't on the list the way 'Maxwell Silver Hammer' was.
It makes me think that Paul believes that his problems with George started with 'Hey Jude' while, for George, that drama was just another drop in a glass that was almost full.
Can you draw or talk more about Toby and Eyeless Jack or even the X-Virus?
YESSSS i can. heres a lil doodle to get me started.
OKKKK the little concept in my head has slender's MAIN GOAL being to prevent any paranormal/supernatural stuff coming out to the general public. hence his proxies being made to get rid of tapes, evidence, and kill if Necessary. sometimes slender makes paranormal/supernatural ppl help out his human proxies "as payment for refuge" in his forest. SO that sorta explains how toby and jack know each other and why jack helps at all. he can't rlly go out to the public so he's stuck with these assholes. it's not really supposed to be a 'mansion' trope, moreso random cabins and shelters littered about the forest, but it could work in the mansion au too
Imma ramble abt toby n jacks friendship (in my head) under the cut + a random x virus doodle
as for toby and jack specifically. toby is impulsive, aggressive, can't feel pain, and doesn't know what's good for him, so he's forced to get help from jack a good bit.
for a long while there was hella tension between them since, again, jack isn't helping these guys out of the goodness of his heart. he's helping them bc the forest their boss resides in is the only place he's relatively safe. jack has a weird mix of a inferiority and superiority complex, since he envies toby's humanity but also feels like he's 'better' due to toby's own . . violent habits. toby thinks jack is pretty cool from the get-go ('wooow ur grey..') but he gets pissed off with jack's questions and demands of 'DONT RIP UR FUCKING STITCHES' and 'u have a concussion don't fucking scroll on your phone for 5 hours a day'.
toby has no idea if these demands come from actual concern or annoyance, and frankly, neither does jack. regardless, toby's with jack a decent bit. partially since jack makes a lot of people really uncomfortable so it's easy to go hang out with jack when he doesnt wanna deal with anyone else but still wants company.
eventually theyre capable of some decent banter and conversations. theyre both mamas boys so thats a very weird touchy topic that they kinda dance around but both feel very deeply and know the other relates. THEY MISS THEIR MOMS SO BADLY.. :( mayhaps one year toby helps drop off flowers to jack's moms house for mothers day. jacks way too ashamed to even get within a 10 mile radius of his mom. that's kinda the moment things really shift between them and they actually become friends.
toby also asks abt university. lyra was at community college until she passed, and toby never considered college as an option, so he gets curious on what he missed out on. he also likes to share stuff abt lyra and their old shenanigans. tim and brian have used his childhood against him multiple times before, and it's not like he's gonna trust ben or jeff with that information. jacks sort of like a void he could talk into. jack feels uneasy talking about his life before the sacrifice, since he misses it so unbelievably bad, but toby accidentally got him to talk about it while treating a burn before.
ok and to top this fucking essay off heres xvirus. i had no idea he existed until this year and someone sent me an ask about his updated design, so he's some scribbles for him :9 his concepts super cool tho so maybe ill get more into him later on
i started compiling this list for myself as a reference, but since @stanfordsweater is making a whole event of it, i thought i could share it! please feel free to add on with other questions you can come up with!!!

Also I’m in love with the way this story does worldbuilding. I love worldbuilding anyway, but TTO:U is a phenomenal example of how to just say things and let your reader pick up on them.
For example, I first latched onto “pre-Neocambrian” as a fun little word challenge, since I saw it was taking root words for New and Change and leaning on the way we categorize dinosaur eras. It was a fun little puzzle!
And then I felt even smarter for realizing the word I’d been skimming over as scifi-speak, “preneek,” was a shortening of the proper term Aspen uses, the pre-Neocambrian.
So then it becomes a character study: how Aspen, publisher of four successful novels and holder of at least one doctorate, uses clinical and accurate terms, vs Tal, genius in kes own way but definitely more prone to using slang, speak differently about the same thing.
I just… so much about this makes me go heart-eyes, and I haven’t even talked about how I had to verbally enthuse about floating forests and their genetically modified inhabitants to my poor partner.
