I was going to add more panels of a synchronized strangle attack by team broppy, but decided that enough was enough...

Anyhow here's how I think the battle at Mount Rageous should've gone, with the lovely happy trolls using the hair as weapons of destruction </3 I know that Branch is in his healing era but I still think he would've resorted to his more violent methods somehow (this time with Poppy's full support).

Also, the reason why Viva's still using the sticky hands is because of this one hc I saw that the Putt-Putt trolls lost the ability to stretch their hair due to malnutrition :D

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

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

So Farah (@farahmoo2) has been having trouble getting her funds transferred for the past week now. Her organizer Nassima sends her an acceptance transfer notice, which, after accepting it, is supposed to prompt a security code to be sent to Farah's phone.

The only problem is, no security code ends up being sent. This has caused a massive amount of stress for Farah and made her worried gofundme would deactivate her account. Her sister @/nesmamomen has been trying to help her out, but they are unable to identify the problem.

Transcript of the voice recording: "It seems that my conversion may be cancelled. I don't know. There's a lot of problems."

On top of this, Farah's family has been dealing with the upcoming winter, having to rebuild their tent after being flooded so it can better withstand the rain and cold. Her internet access is now so bad that she has also been unable to use tumblr for a while now, as that needs consistently good bars in order to load.

I'll keep you guys updated on what's happening, but in the meantime you can also talk to and support Farah, Nesma, and Shahad (@/shah599) via their Telegram group chat. If there are any tech savvy/gofundme experts out there who can help Farah out, please do!

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)

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.

Imagine how differently any Mortal Kombat game would’ve went if Raiden wielded a chancla

Let’s take another stab at it. I think I’m getting somewhere!

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

So after a few weeks and 5 long excruciating hours today! we now have a new turbo fitted and ready to rip! Sorry i didn’t take a lot of pictures but we are kinda on a tight schedule. I have to leave early in the morning for the track. Now I’m going to head out and street tune the car and see if everything is working as it should! Wish me luck!
