#all the young dudes book

[locklyle1kanij]

I’m in the process of planning to make my friend a copy of all the young dudes, and i’ve never done any book binding before like ever and i’m excited yet terrified! If anyones got any tips on book binding that they’ve learned from experience pleaseeee let me know!!

Especially with printing the book bc that’s what i’m the most confused on and, how do you decide the number of pages per section to put the book together and with making the holes to thread the string through to thread the book together, how do you decide how many holes to make?? I’m sorry if this doesn’t make any sense but i’m not sure on how to word it.

I have a contribution: if lily/regulus were taking shots at a party, James would 110% come up to them and say “need a chaser?”

that’s it, that’s the post.

Sirius: Was that a peacock?

Remus: How do you know what a peacock sounds like?

Sirius: You don’t?!

The amount of fics I want to re-read, the amount of fics I want to finish reading, and the amount of fics I want to start reading is very impractical atm

I am a *very specific person* with *very specific priorities* so yes I went to Disney this weekend, but no I did not skip ATYD book club, I carved out an hour in the middle of the day to sit in the shade and talk on discord about my little Harry Potter fanfic and chatted until it was time for my Space Mountain fast pass.

I've only read the first volume of Dungeon Meshi but I'm convinced Laios and Marcille are both autistic but two EXTREMELY different flavors of autism, so much so it enables autistic PVP (one sided, Laios is unaware, possibly due to the autism)

"some children are simply born with tragedy in their blood”

I don't know if you get what I mean when I say Black brothers and moony.

I don't know if you get me when I scream Jude st.francis from little life.

I don't know if that's something capable of understanding when I say soukoku, or Patroclus, or Kafka,or that boy from heaven or so many others the only difference is that some got a chance and accomplishment others unfortunately we're met by a different end.

Finally finished my All the Young Dudes bind!

Written by MsKingBean89 (also @lobsterbang here?), 526,969 words, and too many pages, I didn't count.

So this was my first project with an actual press and i’m overall super happy with how it turned out.

There were some...learning moments while making this set but it was so fun to make all the design choices and I'm in love with how everything fits together. Each bit of chapter art was taken from parts of the marauder's map, and it's based on location (I didn't include them all, but here's the Hogwarts Express, as an example!). The second volume ALMOST didn’t fit in my guillotine, but I managed to squeeze it in. This was also the first time I used a foil quill with my silhouette, and I really love the effect it gives (particularly on the second volume).

Design Details:

Body Font: Adobe Garamond Pro

Titling/Drop Cap: Albertus MT

Title Page: Davison Art Nouveau

I got the end papers and the book cloth from Hollander’s. Davison Art Nouveau is also not around anymore, I don't think, but I fell in love with it after reading this article while looking at 70s fonts from novels and albums. I ended up just pulling it together from images (probably could have made it into a font or something, tho), and I'm so glad I took the time to do it because these title pages are probably my favorite part. All the little designs on the cover, like the stars, are also taken from photos of the marauder's map.

“I started it. Sorry I hit you.”

“Sorry about the howler.”

“Sorry your mum’s a nightmare.”

“Sorry you’re a werewolf.”

Update: Currently on Chapter 52 and by golly I love them! It’s just so sad knowing the dynamics of the characters and what ends up happening and what will (canonically) come to pass.
