honestly yeah, fiber arts is magic. you cast spell of warm gloves, spell of nice hat, spell of stuffed animal.
material component: yarn
wand: single hooked wand or double pointed wands, depending on caster's preference
mechanical component: specific motions repeated in a particular pattern
time component: a while
look seriously the first step in a knitting recipe is "cast on", and then it's a bunch of letters and numbers incomprehensible to anyone not versed in the arcane art. that's a spellbook. yes it's a book of knitting patterns but also. it's a spell book.
#original#knitting#crochet#fiber arts#also continuing my habit of calling everything recipes lol#a recipe is a set of instructions telling you how to turn materials into objects#sometimes the result is food. sometimes it is clothes#(I suspect this may be rooted in minecraft crafting recipes)#but yeah I call sewing patterns 'clothing recipes' also

Nikto is chopping wood when it hits you. You're watching from your back porch door, a porcelain mug of hot chocolate cradled in your warm palms.
It's cold- far too cold for Nikto to be chopping wood in your garden right now. A thick layer of frost blanketing everything in sight- in which he had scraped your car for you earlier this morning whilst you were still in bed. He's still in his sleeping clothes; his thin black shirt that stuck to his body in a thick sleeve or fabric, and those baggy grey sweatpants that hung low on his hips. He's still refused to let you stitch the hemming- which is frayed and worn. Insisting that it is no use fixing it. There's no fixing it, llubov. I'll let it fray and throw it later. No use.
It was certainly a sight. He had drunk his tea down quickly once he noticed your shivering shoulders. Wrapped you up in that fluffy cream nightgown of yours, and set out to fill the fireplace. A silent promise to keep you warm. To provide. He had shot you a stern look at the sight of you lingering in the doorway- your pyjamas shorts and lack of slippers irking him. You wanted to roll your eyes at him. Used to his picking. You are a little warm soft thing. You need to stay warm.
"you're acting like a husband". You quip softly. Playfully, that smile that could warm butter on your pretty lips. "Do you want to be my husband, Andre?".
"yes".
Nikto's sincere raspy voice is sincere as he answers immediately- stunning you into silence. Glancing up at you to fix you an intense stare as he split the log with his hands. Something soft and eager in his eyes. Apprehensive on his own behalf, but filled with longing.
"you'll always be warm". He vows. Eyes filled with something- devotion. So tremendous, that it rattles you to the bone. His eyes meet yours, and you're not sure you can look away. Can't find your hands to sever the line. Pinning you down. He makes the first move- leaving the axe by the tree stump, shoes crunching in the glittering frosted grass. Approaching you like a weary hound.
"then in that case, may I mend these then?". You mumble. Now shy, your heart quivering at the intensity in his face. His hand meets yours as it brushes over the frayed hem of his sweatpants- a warm, halting hold. An unsure pause, you think... Before his shoulders relax a little, and his fingers wiggle softly between yours to melt into an embrace of hands. A gesture so sweet, so unsure and new to him, it was his turn to fluster. Feline eyes wandering from your eyes to your fingers clasped with his.
"yes. I... Let's try".
#nikto cod#cod nikto#nikto x reader#cod nikto x reader#call of duty nikto#nikto#cod x you#cod x reader#cod headcanons#nikto cod x reader#husband nikto#idk if I've portrayed it well enough here#but his frayed clothes and the reluctance to try fix them and to give up on them#is his feelings with approaching a relationship#he doesn't know how to sew well#with his rough scarred fingers#but maybe its ok to let you do it#trust you with the needle#fraying clothes can be saved#like his hope for something soft and new like a life with you#anyways

Kurvitz stresses that Kim doesn't actually have a character sheet hidden in Disco Elysium's code. Imagining that Lieutenant Kitsuragi has only one natural attribute point in Motorics helps the ZA/UM team to understand the depth of his character beyond what's referenced in the game's dialogue. "We just came up with this stuff for coherency," says Kurvitz. "And because we're nerds."
"I like to think Kim has a Thought Cabinet project called Revolutionary Aerostatic Brigades that he's worked on since he was a teenager," Kurvitz says. "This raises the learning caps for his Reaction Speed and Interfacing."
Kim's high Volition skill makes him impervious to prying, Kurvitz says, as the detective can find out on occasions being met with Kim's brick-wall resolve. Kim often chastises these whims of the detective's, but will occasionally play along. The Lieutenant finds his new partner funny, says Kurvitz.
Kim is naturally shit at Motorics and thinks Harry is funny source
#THE GUY WHO SO MANY THOUGHT WAS THE MISSING MOTORICS BUILD IS BAD AT THEM#and thinks cop types are stupid <3#the bajillion points in authority make even more sense. he probably has a lot of natural points in the purple skills?#(addition: so empathy too T_T !!!)#so this means he had to put a lot of points in composture on purpose. and had to learn how to sew and repair motorcarriages the hard way?#the interfacing learning cap is higher but he still had to put points in it to have more than 1#his perception is abysmal and it stayed so#his hand/eye coordination is also bad. his shooting posture is horrible. I wonder how he got to 7/10#I want to poke this nerd with a stick#disco elysium#release the kim character sheet now. what the hell is volta do mar I need to know#he must have volta do mar. h/e coordination. kinetic dressage#(and something related to authority)#they're all in the clothes in the zaum atelier

I can give john every windbreaker on earth#mariana gets the jean jacket bc I like to imagine she's a y2k kid#(sherlock I think is only 90s kid in year of birth that man's childhood was skipping class to burn shit in the wood)#(but he canonically sews which I fucking love so much. he has not bought new clothes for almost a decade#if a shirt's disintegrating no it isn't. not on his watch)#a lil sad I cant figure out how to give them hats lol I feel like thats the most victorian thing there is. a stupid hat#I can at any moment give one of them a beanie. but I refuse#there are. like a Hoard of other scribbly sketches I did to get used to drawing them. but those are for me those are not for the public#and also theyre in my sketchbook and Im too lazy to scan them#happened mostly during lunar new year lol. I was getting Hard whipped then thank u s&co for carrying me thru#ok I do other things now. have this for a while ok? thank u#have a good night lads. enjoy motion

Swiss struggled to fit in when he was first summoned.
He jumped through a summoning portal not meant for him and so was never summoned for anything, and the Clergy didn’t have a job for him.
In his abundance of alone-time, he saw how the Ghouls that he wanted to be his pack struggled with fitting their tails around human clothes.
It didn’t bother him too much, but it bothered them.
So, he learned how to sew.
He added tail holes into all his pants as practice first, and had to let go of a few pairs but he did it.
When the other Ghouls saw the altered pants, they naturally asked how the hell he got the tail hole.
When he said he did it himself, he offered straight away to do all the other Ghoul’s pants before they could even think about asking.
Every time a new Ghoul or Ghoulette is summoned, he always takes their clothes and adds tail holes as a peace offering, a Welcome To Earth present, using what got him his pack to bring even more Ghouls in.
#Swiss knowing how to sew means everything to me#and yes he sews peoples clothes back together after he’s ripped them off of them#the band ghost#swiss ghoul#ghoul headcanons#ghost headcanons#ghost ghouls#ghost band#swissarmy#multi ghoul#Swiss ghoul headcanons#Swiss headcanons#impera ghouls#prequelle ghouls

not related to noco at all but what is katie and sadie’s relationship like now?
pretty good all things considered! while they're both married to two sweet guys and have separate families (none of their kids are other td characters, unfortunately...) they're still really close, and still live next to each other at that same beach town they grew up in, now both running that successful 80s themed ice cream business they've been dreaming of! its safe to say they probably suffered the least on Total Drama, only leaving with a couple of minor scars, good god were they lucky..
#noco family au#total drama#total drama katie#total drama sadie#total drama katie and sadie#where are they now#I mean its ok to ask non-coco related questions here I won't complain#and I guess it makes sense talking about these two since they made like#a VERY brief cameo in the Wayne arc#just thinking but I've been too harsh on these two for a bit now they're actually pretty sweet#like yea they were annoying and gimmicky on the show but#they kinda feel like wasted potential#like their bios talk about so much we don't see in the show#like how they love the 80s#or that they make their own ice cream#or that Katie sews their clothes from scratch?#like#that's fucking adorable#but then they're resorted to annoying filler characters#like I sorta get it from a writing standpoint but..#when Katie was voted off they did sweet FUCK ALL with Sadie#like Sadie didn't even SPEAK until the episode she was eliminated#and then they don't show up again unless its to simp for this seasons hot boy or whatever#idk

I didn't get the sewing job
I just.
why do I even keep going. nothing's ever going to change and nothing's ever going to work out and nobody's ever going to fucking want me
I'm going to get old working part-time jobs with no house and no family and no fucking future
and the economy's about to tank with Tr*mp so if I don't get something before that happens it's never going to
what's even the point honestly. when nothing ever-
#personal#this is such fucking bullshit#I looked up how to do your stupid fucking machine hems and everything and it's still not enough?#I've made goddamn entire Victorian ball gowns. I know how to fucking sew#somebody please give me a fucking decent full-time job. give me some fucking reason to believe things will get better#because that's all that will fix this for me#I don't want to do anything. I don't want to be in this spot anymore I don't I don't I"m SO FUCKING SICK OF TRYING AND TRYING#FOR FUCKING NOTHING#I DON'T WANT TO WAIT SIX GODDAMN MONTHS FOR SOMEONE TO GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE GODDAMN PROCESS#I WANT MY LIFE TO CHANGE. NOW. I'VE BEEN WAITING AND TRYING FOR SEVEN FUCKING YEARS AND NOTHING. NOTHING.#HAS HAPPENED. NOTHING. HAS CHANGED. I JUST GET FUCKING OLDER.#I can buy stupid dolls and make stupid clothes but for what? for what when this is all my life will ever be?#I might as well just give up on all of it because nothing of any real substance will ever change

A Horizon Clothing Line
I've technically been sketching out this hoodie/sweatshirt line all summer, and I've still got more ideas on the way
The Tenakth hoodies technically came first, but I had so much fun designing them I ended up sketching out some for the other tribes too!
#Is it horizon fan merch hours?#Looks like it to me!#Look if they're not going to sell cool merch I'm going to make it myself#As soon as I learn how to sew#So this might take a while#hfw#horizon zero dawn#fan merch#clothing design#Tenakth#oseram#Banuk#Carja#Nora

yayy post-canon loop designs DONE!!! first one is after they've re-joined the party but are still adjusting, and the second is later when they're more settled and confident.
i knew i wanted to give them a style that's loose and comfortable, but unique and fun; something that can fill a similar niche to siffrin's canon outfit in both style and fit, while remaining totally aesthetically distinct. so i went in a mori kei direction!
design note rambling under the cut
immediately post-canon, loop sticks to dark and black clothing, avoiding siffrin's signature white-on-black. they try both long loose dresses and tighter leggings/turtlenecks, trying to figure out what feels the least weird to wear on their pure-craft-energy body, and end up layering them both. snug and enveloping! they refuse to wear a cloak, but end up just draping their favorite black blanket over their shoulders instead. it's a nice rich lightless, and soft, but still thick enough to block the shine of their head. good for staying cozy or hiding.
after they join up with the party, loop eventually decides fuck it, i can't just define myself in opposition to siffrin, why does he get dibs on our favorite colors. so they start adding white back into their wardrobe! after odile helps them figure out how to craft their body to feel a little more solid, they don't feel like they need to stay so multi-layer covered up anymore, but at this point it's habit. they're still enjoying lightweight fabrics, and getting into fun textures. they don't like the way full pockets affect the drape, so they use a couple bags to store their magpie'd items instead.
once the bodycrafting is more-or-less-done they feel a lot more comfortable in their body, and start to even kinda enjoy how striking their star skin looks among other shades! they still tend to layer, but they no longer need all the layers, and they'll leave the blanket at home in favor of lighter-weight shawls or scarfs that they can still hide their face in. they wear more black and white now, but not in a super high-contrast way; they wear more midshades than siffrin, and less patterns than isabeau. it's all about the variety, lightless and darkless and everything between, draped fabric and lace and ruffles and accessories! their favorite necklace is made out of their five favorite rocks (one to represent each party member, they're finally willing to admit aloud), and they've switched to one nice big bag with plenty of pockets for their various things.
siffrin stuck with the same old outfit for a long time. but just like how having their body forcibly changed made them desperate to change it themself, loop's more experimental and particular about their fashions now as well. they're figuring out who they are, and by the stars they're gonna go full self-expression about it!
#in stars and time#isat#isat loop#in stars and time loop#loop#silverstarsart#loop refuses to let isabeau make clothes for them#but they do let him teach them how to alter their clothes and even sew from scratch#mirabelle loves to take them shopping for silly accessories#and she knits lace for them#bonnie got them the cool bag with custom pockets for their art supplies and everything#and ofc odile did the heavy lifting on all that experimental not-quite-body-crafting#get loved idiot :3#isat spoilers

WIP!
I came up with this crazy idea to give this EA dress (right), a bit of love. It's a great dress! I've used it a lot! But just like everything, it didn't really feel like it fit this day and age anymore...
Soooo I touched it up a bit! What do you think? :)
#I'm going to also make a sleeved version#since I think that would look amazing!#I think sewing classes got me more into looking at clothing differently lol. Like it just popped up in my head one day...#is this how recolour creators feel? :p#the sims 3#ts3#sims 3#sims#the sims#ts3 wip#wip#sims 3 wip#the sims 3 wip#the sims 3 gameplay#ts3 simblr#sims 3 screenshots#sims 3 gameplay#ts3 gameplay#ts3 screenshots#thesims3
