#THE TAPESTRY THREAD!!!!!

[aquitainequeen]

Just think: when she's kidnapped Furiosa gnaws through the fuel hose of her captor's motorbike in order to slow him down and allow her mother to catch up,

and when she accepts the Black Thumb's last agonised plea to finish the job and save the War Rig, she crawls with a fuel hose clenched between her teeth in order to fix the engines and allow the Rig to outrun its pursuers

I came here for the silly haha doodles, but I've stayed for the absolutely blazing commentary in the tags. Your analysis of this story is so so so good! Thanks for all the work and thought you put into this!

I am just a silly little comics blog. I am not hiding anything in the tags, no way. Never.

The entrance to the iterator chamber in Vastness of Silence's city, Elysium. Thread spent most of her childhood there, since Clay often took them to work with her.

With VOS being an older model, the architecture in its city was made to resemble that of pre-iterator structures.

Nott: yeah, well, we'll do better today, right?

Caleb: sure - sure we will

I volunteer in a charity shop in a small town surrounded by fields. One of our regulars is a tiny drag queen who, when not buying every piece of sparkly nonsense small enough to fit him, works with horses. He is a perfect match for your description of a retired jockey and I just thought you should know this.

(In reference to this description of a retired jockey which came about because OH GOD I MADE MYSELF SO SAD RESEARCHING JOCKEY INJURIES, I could not go on until trying to promise myself Killie got to retire (and not be horseless.) Also, while writing that comic, I got intensely and powerfully sad that I wanted it to be true, and that Greyuncle Killie could really be living his weird little life on some other plane. But he is not only fictional, but an OC; how lonely to only exist when one person thinks of you; how sad to seem so vibrantly real that it’s easy for someone to imagine, resignedly, that of course you’re the sort of man to wear a Barbour gilet - but not get to be real, or retire, at all.)

You cannot imagine how timely and lovely it was to receive this ask. Genuinely went from a strange grief feeling about a little man who isn’t real, to feeling a clear and powerful sense of life-affirmation. The world is full of so many guys, out there, and they are living complex lives, and if you don’t know that guy, maybe SOMEBODY does. Maybe you ARE that guy. And there are guys like you out there.

I am so, so glad to know this. Thank you sincerely.

Just saw Furiosa in theaters again because I wanted to check out the Mr. Harley subplot/fan theory (here’s a rundown with spoilers https://www.reddit.com/r/MadMax/comments/1dg5ou3/made_a_point_to_keep_a_close_eye_on_mr_harley/) and it’s wild how obvious it is if you’re looking, while at the same time being totally not obvious if you aren’t paying attention to it. This was my 6th time watching and my first time catching any of it!!

Grief is no knife but a swallowed stone, Smoothed by time, yet sharply honed. A scent, a sight stirs pain once known— Always another jagged edge to be shown.

Weaving progress for Athena's shrine cloth! It's definitely not perfect but I'm enjoying it. All of the weft yarn so far is either undyed (white) or dyed by me. iirc the light tannish yarn was dyed with tea bags and the dark yellow was dried spearmint. I've got some light blue yarn from Aunt Jenny Makes that I felt like I should add prepped and ready to go for the next time I work on it
