#Character Tag: Stitches

[radioelly]

this has been bouncing around my head like a screensaver for like. weeks. at this point. <- unwell

So I read A Stitch in Time and one result of that which I was certainly not expecting was that I feel so much sympathy for Enabran Tain. Garak's life is a tragedy, but Tain's is a fucking black comedy.

I mean, he's a terrible person and an absolute shitbag, but can you imagine? You have this kid. You go to all the trouble of arranging for him to be raised in a family situation where he won't be rejected from society for being your bastard. You get him into the nicest indoctrination school where he can hobnob with plenty of uppercrust kids. You get him a job in your Order and all the proper training. And he's actually, like, really good at it. But he has this fatal flaw of being completely incapable of not making stupid, short-sighted, emotional decisions.

A scene I imagine has to have happened just prior to Garak and Tain's confrontation at the end of part II:

Like goddamn. When Tain asked "what's your plan for getting rid of her husband?" and Garak's just like "plan what plan." Dude. I'M disappointed, I can only imagine the guy who's job it is to know and plan for everything isn't at least as disappointed.

I know he didn't actually, but do you think there was ever a time when Tain wanted to be like, You know what. Just go back to Tolan and become a gardener. Join that illegal hippie cult. It's fine.

FMABRUARY day 16: family

I think one of my favorite reveals in fma is that the flamel Ed and Al wear isn't just a random alchemy thing, and instead a sign of their teacher.

This was my first time dying fabric and i had a blast! it's a really fun, if time consuming project.

Pattern below cut :3

DMC 310 for all of it

14ct AIDA

Unless you're buying from a actual cross stitch store you won't get AIDA in this color, so i just took regular white AIDA and dyed it with RIT dye. It tuned out prefect with just the red and so no need to add anything else.

Project is about 1inch width 2inch height. made for a 4inch hoop. about an hour and a half to make.

please tag me if you decide to make it <3

my ordinary life redraw with my CHARACTERS!!!

[simpletailoring]

so I’m about a third of the way into A Stitch In Time and I just have so many thoughts.

this is unexpectedly one of the most fascinating books I have ever read, because the circumstances of its existence (tie-in novel for established tv show, written by the actor, largely taken from his character-dev writing) create a novel that would’ve never existed otherwise.

in any other normal novel, the protagonist with a sad childhood who gets shipped off to train to be a weapon of the state, in a violent, loveless institution, would be… taking a stand against the status quo! that’s what protagonists do, they make unlikely friends and they stand up for what’s right and they change their world etc etc. yahoo. yay !

but as we good and goddamn know: garak’s not a protagonist

these flashback portions follow so many classic sf/f coming of age tropes of a young lad finding himself in a harsh new world, but instead of the main character being guided by a convenient moral compass and growing in defiance of the competitive, cruel environment– garak adapts, learns to outcompete his peers, learns to be crueler.

it’s not so much that you’re reading garak becoming worse (though he is, for sure)

it’s more that garak is drifting from being a mere product of his environment, to a perpetuator of it

Happy Halloween, cousins! 🎃

I had @angoraram draw a comic of me beginning to discover what my experiment abilities are... thanks to Lilo's collection of horror movies.

Yeah, I can't say I'm a fan of the Wasp Mummies franchise. 😨

Would Reuben like a sandwich? What their favorite?

They are surprised to be acknowledged!!! And then they ponder... What is their favourite sandwich...?

You'd think it'd be a reuben, but they never had one! Maybe like... A really good grilled cheese... Or does an ice cream sandwich count?

I wanted to go on a drawing spree yesterday, but I could only muster these two before dozing off.

First one, even if I'm not that sure about how I drew her face shape in this angle (and most importantly I forgot her neck and torso bandages OOPS) I do really like how most of the drawing came out. And at least it isn't a bland bust this time, though I'm pretty sure I've already drawn a pose like this before. (Oh no the next drawing is a 3/4 bust again..)

Second, yesterday I saw an artist draw some of the coolest redesigns ever for a different media piece, and thought about the many awesome gg redesigns I often see so I wanted to give A.B.A a spin... Except I was out of ideas so most of this drawing is her regular design haha. I got too tired to even try to attempt to draw the rest of the body and half-assed the key but I like the vibes and pose (even if I.. think I made her neck a bit too long? Old habits die hard... Necks are my enemies when drawing!)

I like the idea of her having a key take on the classic frankenstein bolts (though wait, her head key is referred to as a screw. Would this also be a screw or key shaped bolts??-)

Some sketches of lil ol' Sawyer ft. my friends pc Zaultan!!

They got a haircut so this is the style now.

[azalea-art]

would anyone be interested in buying hand painted bags with like, Pokemon and totoro and other cute characters on them? I need to paint some cute things, I have several thrifted purses/bags to do so on, but like, I could never actually use all these bags no matter how cute they end up 😅

Christmas is coming, maybe you have a friend who needs a bag as a present? here’s my sketch for the first one of Eevee
