Patent Pending status granted!

We’ve decided to share a selection of our rough technical drawings for our provisional patent application to give you the clearest picture of what Leaf Tree is! As we continue to refine the design we will be submitting updated drawings–eventually (and as soon as possible) securing the official patent for the invention–and we will be sharing those with you when we can.

Up next we’ll be sharing the ongoing progression from Leaf Tree prototype Mk1 V1 to Mk1 V2 and our plans for the continued development of the design up to launch.

We will be sharing our goals for manufacturing, how we plan to bring Leaf Tree to cats and their families, and our vision for Mindful Maker Co’s role in the supply chain on our site: 

mindfulmaker.co (currently under construction) 

We’ll announce when that site goes live and we start sharing our efforts to establish a transparent supply chain of natural and safe materials to bring Leaf Tree to market.

this is because i just watched falsettos but ive also just been having so many thoughts about just queer grief.

in an incredible fic by patentpending on ao3, a character says that “people like us don’t get happy endings,” referring to gay people. this fic does take place in like the 20s, but that scene always makes me cry a little bit. there is such a history of being queer and being hunted or attacked or shunned that has such lasting repercussions that goes so deep. i’ve never experienced a hate crime, i’m incredibly grateful to say. i was sobbing watching falsettos. all i could think was “they’re just letting us die.” i haven’t lost anyone to AIDS. i wasn’t even alive during the AIDS crisis. but there is just such a sad, core part of me and my queer identity that watches these depictions of queer people falling victim to it and just wants to scream “they’re just letting us die!”

straight people, please go watch falsettos. queer people, watch at your own risk. it isn’t just a show for us. they were literally just letting us die.

Fander Fic Rec Friday (#15)

(Friendly Monsters)

show your fangs by delimeful Fantasy AU (Gen) Rating: T Janus keeps humans out of his forest, the better to make it a safe refuge for those that humans would hunt. He doesn't quite know what to make of the latest human he finds lurking on the edge of his domain. Notes: Where Janus is a forest-guardian and Virgil is having a really bad time.

Broken Pieces (Pieced Together) by LadyoftheWoods Fantasy AU (Roceit, Intruality) Rating: G Out on a quest, Roman makes a sacrifice that saves Patton's life but leaves himself blinded, injured and alone. Fortunately, he is found and his wounds tended, but there's more to his two rescuers than he might first imagine. (Meanwhile Janus and Virgil gradually learn that the knight fallen into their lap has more than just physical wounds that need healing.) Notes: On self-worth and the logistics of making friends whose gaze might turn your family to stone...

Love is not love which alters when it alteration it finds by thewordyhibiscus Supernatural AU (Anxceit) Rating: T Virgil keeps finding himself in relationships that just don't work out. (Janus is a shapeshifter determined to keep trying until he finally gets it right...) Notes: Janus's ploy could have felt so sinister if he wasn't such a disaster. Good thing Virgil's into that.

The Anxceitmus Demonic Soulmates series by anxiouslyfred Supernatural/Soulmate AU (Anxceitmus) Rating: M Virgil's soulmate has sold his soul to a demon. Good thing for him the demon decides to take a creative interpretation of what acquiring his soul in that manner means. Notes: Virgil loses one soulmate and receives two new ones in return. (Definitely not for Patton fans, he pulls the dick move of all dick moves and suffers quite a lot of karmic punishment for it.)

through murky waters and twisted paths by Listenerofshadows Fantasy AU (Gen) Rating: T After undergoing a terrifying transformation, Virgil flees his village. In the process he stumbles across a forest giant named Remus willing to help him understand a few things better. Notes: I don't want to give it a away, but this is such an interesting take on some otherwise familiar fantasy/folkloric tropes. Also some very fun body horror on the side.

wolves in the pasture by doteddestroyer Fantasy AU (Gen) Rating: M Remus is an ancient vampire who notices his favorite human isn't around to pester when he should be. Upon searching, he finds Roman has fallen into some serious trouble, and Remus isn't going to be able to get him out of it alone. Notes: In which Remus doesn't let anyone else play with his toys, and he's willing to go to bat when he finds one broken.

Breathless by patentpending Supernatural AU (Thomxiety) Rating: T Thomas was cursed to have his breath stolen away by a dark entity upon his twenty-ninth birthday. Fortunately, he found a way to delay his fate, even if it can only delay it for so long. Until then, he just has to live with the entity lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike... Notes: Very cute and creepy. I don't know what else to say.

The Swamp AU series by 8beez Supernatural AU (Intrulogical) Rating: T Logan is a marine biologist out doing conservation research in the swamp when he stumbles across a monster in the muck (and the monster's two, tiny, monster sons). Notes: Logan's just out there boyfriending the local wildlife.

WIPs

helpless by delimeful Fantasy AU (Gen) Rating: G A series of rescues nets a lonely drider several new friends. (Though some friendships take a lot more effort than others...) Notes: In which Patton is a puffball, Logan is terminally curious, Roman is trying too hard, and Janus has the worst luck possible, but at least they've all got Virgil.

A drawing of Becky from patentpending's Space Age Love Song from ao3

This is how I interpreted Becky to look like in this fic https://archiveofourown.org/works/41712282/chapters/104638956

Can't decide between having the "galaxies in her hair" being more prominent or low-key as I like both. It's hard to decide.

Her base design is practically cinnamacaron's style (on YouTube) as I really liked their design of Becky (and other characters, really) and wanted to use it.

I can't believe I put her scar in the same way that the author drew in chapter 4. XDD

Roman challenges Virgil and Logan to write poetry to see who can woo Patton first. endgame romantic LAMP, any POV. sickeningly sweet fluff

ATLA recs post take 2 (electric boogaloo). Am I totally unsurprised I have enough for a third post at some point? Nope. ANYWAY, enjoy another round -- once again predominantly Zukka, though there’s some f/f in this round!

ATLA Recs #2

i wanna be still with you by tristanyvaine

Handwritten letters sent back and forth do not a love story make. Or. Maybe they do, in the case of a certain Fire Lord and Water Tribe warrior who happen to fall in love over sending letters to each other at least.

keeps me up late at night by midnights

Fifteen years since the war had ended, and still Zuko remembered every step of the way as if it were yesterday. More than anything, he remembered Sokka. He'd been in love with him then, and he still was.

ft. ambassador sokka, fancy parties, pining zuko, and two oblivious fools

the brightest you've ever been by panthalassas

Azula folds herself into the lotus position and empties her mind. Then Yue places her hands on either side of Azula's face, and her mind fills back up again. Or: Yue notices Azula is lonely. Turns out, Azula's ready to feel some emotions.

real love baby by verdanthoney

Five times Zuko and Sokka pretend they aren't in love, and one time they don't.

OR,

Sokka initiates a friends with benefits relationship between them, and Zuko keeps coming back for more.

Seasons in the Sun by burkesl17

Ambassador Sokka's first year in the Fire Nation, a story for each of its seasons. With thunder, assassins, blossoms, poison, politics, volcanoes and a baby dragon. Also falling in love.

Or: four parties, four assassination attempts.

Please Return if Found by CSHfic, VSfic

When Sokka sees a “lost pet” poster near his apartment for an actual, literal dragon, he thinks it’s a joke.

Right up until he finds the dragon sitting on his couch.

Nobility by hikuni

Book 3. Sokka/Zuko. Set after The Boiling Rock Pt. 2, Sokka and Zuko explore the Western Air Temple, where Sokka tries to get Zuko to talk about girls, marriage, and maybe even a future for the two of them.

Worship the Ashes by meregalaxiesandgods, patentpending

All Azula wants is for things to go back to the way they were – her father on the precipice of conquering the world, her own position secure at his right hand. Now, the only secure thing is her, trapped in a gilded cage in her brother's new Fire Nation. Lonely and adrift, Azula would do anything to make it end, until an unexpected connection rekindles a light she long-thought had burned to ashes. But falling for Suki isn't something Azula can let herself do, especially with the world as they know it threatening to crumble around them.

Or: Azula goes to therapy, has an identity crisis, stops actively trying to kill her brother, makes a few friends, and falls in love along the way.

No Quiet Life by JustGettingBy

Zuko's not sure when it started. It would be easy to say it started with Boiling Rock, or with the Western Air Temple. But whenever it started, his crush isn’t about to go away anytime soon.

*

“It’s not too late, ‘Lee’. We could steal a boat. Sail across the high seas until we hit the horizon. Spend the rest of our days living off the land.” He brandishes his arm as if to show Zuko the untapped potential of their future as wild hunters.

“No, Sokka.”

Sokka shrugs. “Well, it was worth a shot. When you’re up to your eyeballs in expense reports, don’t say I didn’t ask.”

Zuko’s mouth feels very dry. “I won’t.”

fire lord zuko visits the southern water tribe eight years after the war ends

based on that text post

Will We Last the Night by CSHfic, VSfic (My absolute fave of the canon rewrites for its wildly IC enemies-to-lovers feel)!

Chief Arnook never assigns Sokka to protect Princess Yue, so he goes to fight the Fire Nation with the other men. When the moon dies, and the ocean spirit takes its revenge, Sokka is caught standing on the deck of a Fire Nation ship. Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.

[An enemies-to-lovers season 2 rewrite, where Sokka is separated from the gaang during the Siege of the North, and travels the Earth Kingdom with Zuko instead].

Ashes Inside When You Finish Your Song by Muncaster

Sokka writes lyrics for his sister’s band. Zuko plays piano and is unnecessarily nice. Fellas, is it gay to write love songs about your friend and his golden eyes?

(AKA, a modern band AU featuring The Gaang, crappy software equipment, homoerotic lyrics, and the realization that maybe, if you think about a guy every night before you sleep, you just might be in love with him.)

Relief Next to Me by wilteddaisy (taotu)

Sokka thinks Ozai’s beach house is pretty awesome. Slightly less awesome is the couch he has to sleep on, as is accidentally getting into Zuko’s bed. At first, that is.
