it’s time for me to be that one friend that is too woke, but the “vi and jayce are stupid together so they can’t get anything done” jokes are funny to an extent. i love himbo friendships more than anything. but some of the things you guys are saying about vi is crazy “i bet she can’t read because who knows what zaun’s education was” THESE COMMENTS ON THIS TIKTOK.

it’s crazy how people can watch a show like arcane, and understand the themes and still not understand how this is kind of weird??? people from zaun aren’t stupid or less than. that is the whole point. viktor comes from the undercity, jinx as well, and ekko, and they are all. canonically genius’. vi is not a stupid child. PLEASEEE stop treating her as one with your basis being her under-privilege and a few brash qualities of her personality

as someone who rarely listens to music, i am unceasingly in wonderment at the emotional connection many humans have to music as a medium. genres & styles & artists and all that jazz --you guys care a lot about this stuff. i sit marveling at the sheer commonplaceness of people feeling an intimate connection to individual songs & albums & musicians. to the point musical preferences are often considered a meaningful part of one's identity as an individual....thats crazy. so much passion...so much fierceness of feeling ...people say "you have to listen to this song" and i listen for 30 seconds and say "neat!" bc it is, it's neat! the chorus is catchy! i might tuck it away to hum to myself later. but for now im putting my earplugs back in returning to the glorious silence that my essence depends on the same way my lungs depend on an oxygen-rich atmosphere. u beset me with fascination

how does he do it?

Since Fu and his methods have been kinda debated on in this fandom, I've just making sure. Is Marinette over-positiving her memories with Fu since she blames herself for him getting mind-wiped or would he be really scold her on recklessness and taking care of herself?

former. grieving his memory wipe is making any kindness he did seem to gleam like precious stars in her memory, which is making it hit that much harder. she's definitely spiraling around losing him right now, and not seeing the reality that he chose child soldiers to fight a supervillain. he really might've scolded her for being reckless, but nowhere near as lovingly as she's imagining he would - she's putting positive words in his phantom mouth because his loss hurts her more than she's willing to communicate, and its become the cornerstone of her isolation.

I know it's been half a year and I don't feel like digging up the original post rn but I finally got started ooooonnnnn

✨The American Duchess Wrap Cape✨

Carol Kimball made a printable version of the pattern which she generously shares for free on her blog along with instructions for alterations and assembly (PLUS pockets! And a hood!). This is what I'll be working with.

I forgot to take a picture, but I'm using a grey-green (sage? I'd call this sage) boiled wool as top fabric, and dark blue flannel for the lining. Because I am an idiot, and also due to my general hubris, I have forgone the mockup. Instead, i decided to try on every pattern piece as I go along and see what alterations it needs. I am sure I will not regret this.

(I do have a lot of fabric, so there's room for error. When I bought it earlier this year I thought I would do the hood, but I have since decided against it - with the colour, a hood would make me look like some twee forest creature. Not that that wouldn't be an amazing fashion concept. Unfortunately, hoods don't work great with scarves and shawls, so no hood this time.)

First (after printing and taping together the pattern pieces) was extending the shoulder seam. The original pattern has tiny shoulders, which might work fine for some (although, tbh, even the og pictures of AD's reconstruction seem to fit the model kinda awkwardly), but for me, too small. Kimball recommends making a sort of bulge on the front piece so it actually goes over the bust, which I did; I freehanded it and figured I would cut it out, sew in the darts and then check if it fits.

I wasn't sure how to mark where to put the darts without cutting up the pattern. In the end, I just put a little bit of white thread through the start and end points, pulled off the paper and tied them off loosely. That worked really well, and it made folding the darts easier, too.

Anyway, the front piece seemed to fit! So I used it to adjust the pattern for the lining, cut out the two front pieces, and put in the darts there. Then I cut open the darts, finished the seams that needed finishing, and pressed all my seams, as if I knew what I was doing and wasn't a chaotic craft gremlin.

Next, I cut out the back piece (the pattern prints only one half, but I mirrored it and then taped the two halves together, so I wouldn't have to fumble around trying to cut it on the fold. That would not have ended well) in both top and lining, sewed them together with the according front pieces at the shoulders, and pressed the seams again.

Then I ran out of blue sewing thread. But since it's 20:00 anyway, and my sewing machine is very loud, I'll be a considerate neighbour and stop with the noise-heavy activities. Tomorrow I'll have to go to the inferior craft store (the good one is closed on tuesdays) to get some fusible interfacing for the collar and pockets (up next!). Also blue thread.

(The cat was helping, as always)

Jon hanging out with Georgie in S3: Do me a favor? Peel this apple for me, please.

Georgie: No, I’m not going to peel an apple for you.

Jon: But Martin always does it for me.

Georgie: Why does Martin peel your apples for you?

Jon: He doesn’t like for me to eat the apples with the skin on it. He says the skin’s loaded with toxins.

Georgie: Okay, well, good news. Martin’s not here.

Jon: I know he’s not here, and that’s why I need you to do it. Please. Please!

Georgie: Jesus, just eat it with the skin on.

Jon: I do not like it with the skin, Georgie! I’m not allowed to eat it with the skin! I’m not allowed!

Georgie: Oh my god alright! If you just shut up, I will peel the apple for you the way that Martin likes you to eat it. Give it to me! I’ll do it the way that Martin insists, okay?

You may have heard from us recently that Steam decided OBSCURA contains too much mature content. We've disputed this label, but Steam is sticking to their guns: OBSCURA is Too Horny, and they're making it a problem for German and Chinese players.

To our German players, we direct you to Itchio, where the game is available (check our pinned post for a link). You lose some of the Steam functionality such as automatic updates (though the Itchio app does make that possible), but the game is fully available.

To our Chinese players, you have a better idea of what to do right now than we do. We'll look into options for making OBSCURA available to you as we continue, and if we come up with an answer we will announce it.

As you can imagine, we're also not thrilled by this decision, but for now the best we can do is play by Steam's rules. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to follow us.

just saw some beauty influencer post their "realistic, non-consumerism morning shed routine" (which seems to be essentially removing the products you've had on overnight??) and the FIRST STEP was removing her silicone chest patch that she wears to prevent chest wrinkles from being a side sleeper........ girl if you think that counts as realistic or non-consumerist then you are so deep in your anti ageing beauty standards echo chamber I fear there may be no way out

I don’t know how extroverts do it because in my mind I have this bag of charms that decreases as the day wears on and I hand out more and more of them and sometimes I have to turn on my full charm and be this bubbly outgoing girl and then I crash right after and I’m out of charms and I need to be alone for 3 consecutive months. Do extroverts just not run out like I don’t get it
