you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

Remember when I said I was cooking a Really self indulgent au?

Here it is! In which Ace picks up a different shipwrecked masked aspiring adventure-novelist on Sixis :)

Spade Pirates’ First Mate Sabo AU

Except Sabo and Ace both don’t realize it’s each other because Sabo still has amnesia and Ace can’t recognize Sabo after 7 years because of the mask

This came from the writing prompt someone gave me of Sabo and Deuce interaction and once I got thinking about them I was like. There’s too many parallels. And couldn’t stop thinking about it

In this AU Sabo doesn’t get saved by Dragon, washes up onshore on Goa before he dies, and survives to set sail again a week or so later, but still has amnesia. Realizing that sailing alone as a ten year old is pretty unfeasible though, he stops sailing after the first few islands and lives as a feral forest child on his own for the next seven years until he feels ready and strong enough to try again.

He chooses his own name, Tage (pronounced taj), based on the assumption that Sabo is his last name and his belongings are too ruined to read his given name :) credit to whery for the name pun idea it’s absolutely genius

I might do some short comics for this if I ever get around to it but for now it’s just a loose collection of ideas!

Capes and Cloaks!

Hello all! It's been a long time coming, but today, I'm excited to announce I'm finally branching into capes and cloaks!

In the days to come, I'll be creating pieces with a focus on refurbish fabrics and reclaimed accents in an effort to limit overall textile waste that seems to plague our modern-day fashion industry.

This rust red, beaded cape is the first in my collection now for purchase.

*Only one available.*

Weekend Warrior's Guide to Sustainable Home Hacks: Saving the Planet

We all know the importance of sustainability, but incorporating eco-friendly practices into your home can seem daunting. Fear not, green-minded weekend warriors! This guide unveils simple and achievable hacks that can make your home more sustainable without requiring major renovations or sacrificing your precious weekend time.

1. Embrace the Power of Natural Light:

Let the sunshine in! Open curtains and blinds during the day to maximize natural light, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and saving energy. Consider rearranging furniture to optimize natural light flow throughout your home.

2. Conquering the Energy Guzzlers:

Identify energy-draining appliances. Unplug unused electronics and chargers to eliminate phantom power draw. Replace old, inefficient light bulbs with energy-saving LED alternatives. Weekend warrior project: Install low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators to reduce water usage.

3. Thermostat Tweaks for Eco-Conscious Comfort:

Adjust your thermostat settings! A few degrees cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer can significantly reduce energy consumption. Smart thermostats (yes, they can be budget-friendly too!) can be programmed for optimal efficiency and automatic adjustments.

4. Repurpose & Upcycle with an Eco-Twist:

Give old furniture or household items a new life! Repurpose old jars as storage containers, transform scrap fabric into reusable shopping bags, or create DIY coasters from recycled materials. Upcycling reduces waste and adds a unique touch to your home decor.

5. Weekend Warrior Project: DIY Composting:

Embrace the power of composting! A simple compost bin allows you to transform food scraps into nutrient-rich fertilizer for your plants. This reduces waste sent to landfills and provides a natural boost for your garden, creating a true closed-loop system.

The Weekend Warrior's Sustainable Home Manifesto:

Start Small & Build Momentum: Don't try to overhaul your entire home at once. Begin with a few achievable practices and gradually incorporate more sustainable habits.

Research & Get Creative: The internet is brimming with eco-friendly DIY projects and sustainable living tips. Get inspired and explore ways to adapt them to your home and lifestyle.

Educate & Empower: Share your sustainable practices with family and friends! Spreading awareness and inspiring others can create a ripple effect for a greener future.

Remember, Every Little Bit Counts: Even small changes can make a significant impact on your home's environmental footprint.

The full Hercynian Refurbished Armaments catalogue is availeable for test pilots

After several rounds of workshopping and redesigning, our newest frames and licenses are availeable for purchase for those pilots who want to take advantage of the "Early Bird" price in exchange for collaborating in the final round of QA.

We have:

Antlion: a stealthy sniper that can zero in undetected and hit much harder when unseen.

Redback: a spider-like Defender/Controller that protects allies by turning their Soft Cover into Difficult AND Dangerous Terrain for enemies.

Robberfly: a super-agile striker that gets more dangerous the more it moves.

Aireina: born as a one-off custom Robberfly for a Boan pankrati, this Alt-frame combines the Robberfly's agility with a giant sword that scores devastating critical hits and gets more accurate if it strikes thorugh another enemy

Shamhat: an Enkidu redesigned for speed over area denial, this powerful Striker/Controller gets faster the more it heats up, and can easily wrangle both enemies and allies in the perfect position. Both the hypertext catalogue and the Comp/con compatible .lcp file are availeable here.

Let us hear what was you experience piloting our debut frames!

[OOC]

The Beta 0.47 vesrion of Hercynian Refurbished Armaments contains the titular manufacturer, 6 core bonuses, 4 licenses, and 5 mechs (one is an Alt Frame)

The free download on itch.io contains a PDF and the .lcp file
