To be alone (with you) by Campanella!!

Very very proud of the typesetting on this one, I wanted to make each story feel unique while also staying consistent, and I feel like I was able to do that pretty well!!

The amazing artwork for the title page and playlist was done by @petriteru!!

Here’s some more pictures of the typesetting that didn’t make it into the video :D

Thank you again to cam for letting me bind this series!!! I really enjoyed working on it oh so much!!!

Me waiting for people/companies to stop mishandling themselves and all my favorite series

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

"But why would Sonic still be friends with them why wouldn’t he denounce them or treat them like the villains they are? Why won't he realize they're just evil?"

First of all, has it perhaps occured to you that Sonic loves/cares for them no matter what they do and doesn't want to hurt them if he doesn't have to? Has it perhaps occurred to you that he doesn't see them like irredeemable villains and it's not because he's a dumb dumb idiot?

Second of all, haha keep talking and I'm gonna unroll my character analysis essay. "They're just evil" yeah that's rich. Bet you thought the ending of the series was about "redeeming" them too, huh?

Cover construction for The silent isle imbowers, July-Aug 2023.

Finished binding here.

Materials shown: metallic gold and matte black heat transfer vinyl with cricut-cut designs, cricut-cut paper stencil, acrylic paint, bookcloth made of cotton + drawing paper backing + Lineco PVA glue. Calligraphy by quillingwords, flower art and cover construction by me.

————-General tips on how to make smth like this:

Steps in order were (1) have bookcloth, (2) cut and paint stencil, (3) cut and weed both HTV layers, (4) apply black HTV, (5) apply gold HTV, (6) add paint detail with paintbrush over the vinyl, (7) apply bookcloth to cover board.

This is not a beginner-friendly design LOL. Be like me and try most of the steps by themselves on other projects first.

I drew this design knowing how the sections would be layered, and which materials (and therefore colors) would go with each layer. Achieving a similar result with a premade design will likely require editing in a digital art program.

Test how your materials will layer before committing to a complex design. In this case I discovered that the type of bookcloth I made actually helps conceal the adhesive spread under the black HTV.

Layering HTV over small sections of acrylic paint works! Cannot confirm the result if you were to use large painted sections.

PSA This black layer with many very small pointy bits is at the extreme limit of what I think is possible to weed from machine-cut HTV. A different material might work better, and I got a lot faster at weeding the second copy than the first one, but some of this is just a technical limit. The gold section worked great but I would not recommend this for the black.

Layering HTV is much easier to do uniformly with a heat press! Check if your local library or maybe an art class studio has one you can use before doing smth like this with your iron.

Paper stencils are easy to make with the cricut but don’t try to use them for anything with small details. The above example is pushing it despite being very simple shapes. Stick-on stencils are better.

Tiny HTV design tip: designs with jagged sections and very thin lines are hardest to weed successfully. Smooth curves are much easier.

Scale all pieces of a stacked design on the same drawing program and within the same canvas in cricut so they layer precisely.

Cut tiny HTV designs with the washi paper setting on a cricut. I did not find this out myself but I can confirm the results! Using the HTV setting will cause the blade to catch on and pull up small sections of the design while cutting, ruining parts of the design.

—————-Tiny HTV design weeding tips:

For the love of cheese do not try anything this complicated the first time you use a cricut. or the second. you will cry

Seriously consider trying both HTV and cricut stencils before doing anything complicated like this. I wish I had at least attempted the black layer as a stick-on stencil.

This isn't a weeding tip but again you better cut this with a washi setting.

Use a very sharp weeding tool, good lighting, and consider a magnifying glass

Be prepared for this to take several hours, especially if you have never done a tiny piece before.

Important! The cricut does not perfectly cut out designs, leaving very small connected sections around the design at various locations. This is almost unnoticeable on large designs but can ruin tiny designs very easily. Be prepared to hold down the “keep” sections of the design with tweezers or a fingertip while pulling or trimming off some of the “remove” negative space.

Do NOT attempt to pull off all the negative space in a single piece. Either add dividing lines to your design for the machine to cut, or use a sharp tool to scrape them yourself. You are much less likely to accidentally remove part of your design if you weed the design in distinct sections.

This is what it’s like on a case sometimes in Renegade Detective:

There’s demonic runes on the wall, so Pico asks, “BF, can you tell me what this says?”

“…I can’t read this.”

“You’re telling me you can speak demonic, but not fucking read it?”

“Well, yeah. Human language looks and sounds so much nicer than ‘eu’ox pa horito.’”

“I’m not your bitch, Boyfriend.”

“Wait. You understood that?”

“Of course I can fucking understand that. I’m a detective for crime related to demons.”

“Well if you can understand demonic, why can’t you read it?”

“Because you need demon sight to see these runes clearly, dumbass.”

“Oh. No wonder it looked like gibberish to me.” His eyes started glowing. “Got it.”

“This case is never getting solved at this rate…”

maybe im just biased because i dont like k/nuxouge in general but every time i see posts about them doing cutesy couple things or whatever its a he would not fucking say that moment for me

Still deep in the brainrot so:

Considering that Renegade tries to kill people he likes AND preaches about taking responsibility for the lifes he takes...

So he probably likes being haunted by the people he kills?

So by killing those he likes he get's to be haunted by them forever. He probably likes the messy intense feelings that comes from it too.

Tho when trying kill people he likes he usually wants something from them. A specific reaction, realization and growth usually.

That makes it a win/win situation for him. If he fails he get's to see something interesting, if he succeeds he get's to carry them with him forever.

Truly amazing how his chaos caused a net positive all things considered. He likes to "help", eh?

The fact that Looking Death in the Eye was just... IN THE SEASON?!?! Like you pull off a seismic shift for the ENTIRE SHOW like every single aspect and it's just casually inside the regular season?!?! And it was 5x19 not even a mid season?!?! They're so unbelievably unhinged for this

[cursezoroark]

ship chart for them for categorical purposes. chart by @/goomyloid.

god I hate knowing how to do things at work because it means I actually have to do things and can’t just look at something and go “ah I’ll leave this for the people that know it” because these days I am one of the People That Know It

I'm the bass player in an indie garage band full of beginners, and also the only one who actually is in band class, which means I'm the one holding the band together. I just had an argument about how the lead expected to have a band of this level and not know how to read sheet music, and I was, admittedly, over reacting, but I was frustrated because I have repeatedly seen everyone else in the band struggle to understand what Judace wants them to do because he SUCKS at explaining things, and I said this:

Literally how does my band let me get away with stuff like this. I was like SO SURE after sending that message that I took it too far, but he was just???? Fine?????

[cappurrccino]

need to drink some brave juice and get over my being intimidated by bookbinding, bc I have come into the possession of an old collection of fairy tales that's lost its front cover and first 50 or so pages and I want to give it some love
