sometimes you just need to be honest with yourself and admit that your blorbo probably would have different music taste than yourself

The thing I'm worried about with chao garden is that they'll eventually cave and make another one- but with LESS features than the one in SA2, like what happened in the pokemon diamond&pearl remakes where they got rid of pokemon contests

I'm just saying, if the new chao garden doesn't have all base features as SA2, some of the unused stuff like chao talking to each other, and more, Im not touching a new chao garden. Updated graphics means nothing to me when fan mods have had that covered for years, frankly

And yes- this includes chao abuse features like throwing them and taking away their food making them cry. The extent of interactions is where all the fun is. Do not Remove features, periodtttt

If I stare at a lego set long enough do you think a cute boy will come along and buy it for me?

this isn't an ask or a request, but I hope you could still post it, because since I found this account the wave of love for this fandom crushed me yet again

not to disclose who I am too much, but here's a fact: I was dealing with pre schoolers as a part of my education(or, well, practice). around the same time I discovered the wonderful world of hermitcraft age regress fics. I myself don't regress, but I find those works insanely comforting. anyways I mentioned my education because, while in fics the looking after might be Way to soft and all-allowing (that YES can be very bad even short term), most of the works show it really well. and not just comforting, but as if the authors know Very Well they are portraying not a parent figure per say, but a "cool uncle that looks after you" type character and I LOVE IT. maybe this says smth about my childhood, maybe it's the overwhelming feeling of love coming from a friendship, but still. kudos to everyone who writes age re in this fandom, I love you.

I still haven't explored the topic of age regression as a study (meaning: I haven't really looked up the real world instances), but I have a feeling that learning about this phenomena in psychology feelings-first from a fictional work was a good idea.

Your ask has actually reminded me why I love this blog. I've been a bit out of touch with the fandom lately, but the sense of community that comes from gathering around something so niche is really nice and I love hearing about it.

I'm glad this type of content can be comforting and enjoyable even if you don't regress!

Also, when I originally had the idea to start this blog, there was very little agere-related content in this fandom that didn't emphasize a parental, set-in-stone caregiver as a key feature. I'm happy to see so much more variety in how people portray it in relation to friends and partners.

Have never heard enough about dragonage to be interested in the new game but then I saw Emmrich........ I must play veilguard

I like to to think mcs who wouldnt fall into the conventionally attractive category getting shooked when multiple demons find them attractive

Hob and Dream are the perfect pairing for fandom. An entity that controls dreams can create any scenario and an immortal with an undying desire for new experiences. Literally any situation can be cannon compliant. I saw a fic where Dream was a lion and hunted Hob as a gazelle and ripped out his entrails and yeah of course. Why wouldn't dream make that happen and Hob want to experience it? Literally just put these two characters in whatever.

Lady Stede part 3: The Pocket Hoops

(why yes i am starting on another part before i finished the last one)

So quickly, if you dont know what pocket hoops are, theyre the part that gives 18th century dresses their iconic shape! Theres various names for these kinds of garments- Crinolines, Hoops, etc, but they all serve the same purpose: extending the hips out. Generally in the earlier part of the century they seem to have been one garment with oval shape boning that you would step into and tighten around the waist (with slits for pockets but no enclosed bottom) but ive gone for the later style of splitting it into two sides as its going to be much easier to travel with. The bones form a horseshoe shape that sits off the hip & are connected with a waistband. It was still relatively common to leave the bottom & sides open (fabric was expensive, after all!) but enclosing them means you can turn the entire garment into somewhere to store your bits, rather than just open to your tie on pocket underneath. Thats what ill be doing :)

Ive got three books that reference a pattern for a pocket hoop (Corsets & Crinolines, Patterns of Fashion 5, 18th Century Dressmaking) and they all have some differences that im making note of for this, but i think my basic plan for a pattern is to start with a rectangle and work my way in until the shape is right. some taper the sides, some curve the top edge, but ill see what actually works for me as i play about. One of my concerns is that all of these patterns will have been made for people much smaller than me (especially in the hips, so if i just use their measurements, its at very least not going to be proportional, if not vastly too narrow front-to-back)

Ill also need patterns for the side and bottom- the side should just be a rectangle with maybe a little tapering above the top bone thats the width i want the hoop to be, but ive heard the bottom can be a little fiddly to get right. my current plan is to get the general shape & trace the arc of the bone to make the horseshoe!

One last thing: ive looked at a lot of pocket hoops at this point, and if theres one thing ive noticed, its that theres definitely.... a sweet spot. a goldilocks ratio, if you will, to the way they fall off the hips. a lot seem to fall too low, but just as many square off too fast too (those ones also seem to lift away from the body as they drop, a sign to me that the top length is too short). I think im going to end up fiddling with that for... a while, to make sure it sits exactly as im wanting. heres a couple of examples of what i think im aiming for. pretty high, but also a gentle curve.

Materials!! Im just using a plain white cotton for the main fabric- its a bedsheet from my mock up fabric stash- i did look at creams that might match my stays, but nothing i had was perfect, so white to match with my shift i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ive also got white 25mm twill tape, which ill use for all my ties & boning channels i think. One thing i considered was that i may want a sturdier base to these if im going to load them with all my comi con sundries, and with my recent corsetry order i picked up some sail cloth! i didnt pick it up for this purpose, but it might be pretty cool to use here, its super stiff & coated, and man, im making a costume of a guy who built his own bespoke boat, wouldnt it be cool to make sail cloth in there? Ill see as i get into the patterning.

One last thing- i went rogue with my boning :) the supplier i like only sells hoop boning or reed in bulk quantity, and i need maybeeee 6m for this project (and have no future plans for it) so i walked my ass on down to the hardware store. i was looking for some kind of flexible metal that essentially was boning, but at my local place they didnt have any metal strips at all. what they did have was pvc mouldings in shortish lengths. after standing there with my mum messing around with all the options (god i hope nobody was watching on the cameras) i found that 18mm scotia trim worked... really well. the inner curve with the legs out the back gave it quite a lot of resistance to the bend (which will help it keep its shape), but also not so much that it buckled under the pressure. it also came in the perfect lengths to cut up into bones :) i really hope it works in practice because i feel way too excited about this, actually.
