Draft covers for @ryehouses‘s A Simple Thing

This has been such a fun project to work on! I didn’t have much of a plan other than ‘gotta have helmets’. From there, I kept finding things that had heavy symbolism to the story and Mandalorians in general.

Once I’m finished with the binding of the books, I plan to make all the public vector files I used available for others and provide links for the files I bought.

(Art of one of my favourite scenes from A Simple Thing by @ryehouses)

[thornrings]

imagine, if you will, a chapter of deltarune that takes place in ICE-E's P"E"ZZA. the dark fountain and such is there, burgerpants may or may not be the knight, whatever it doesn't matter. kris and susie and noelle were going to meet and get pizza, perhaps to explain dark worlds to her. this is a plan they had before the fountain appeared. kris and susie were, of course, late, because they were fucking around in hometown and susie was nervous and whatnot. they get there and noelle was early and they're late and the fountain is there. they go in. they go in and it's FNAF.

it's FNAF dark world. confirming their suspicions, they can hear noelle screaming!! there's no time to wait for ralsei, they cannot AFFORD to delay, at least in susie's mind. they have to save noelle as SOON AS POSSIBLE. they spawn in at parts & service, and since at this point they've gleaned that there is Animatronic Fuckery about, they come to the conclusion that their best course of action is to play dress up and sneak around. susie gets an ambiguous legally distinct purple dinosaur costume, and kris gets the legally distinct--but still recognizable--marionette. unfortunately, the animatronics aren't their only obstacle. the doors keep closing in front of them for some reason! weird!

eventually, once they start closing in on noelle's location, they hear a music box, and... kris climbs into a box, much to susie's dismay! "KRIS," she scream whispers, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" they do not answer, and exit the box after some time has passed.

they spend the next six hours or so roleplaying five nights at freddy's i mean five nights at ice-e's with noelle, and eventually kris gets in and jumpscares her and it's over. the point is, noelle is like REALLY good at fnaf. if it wasn't for kris and susie's unique high-jinks she probably would have never lost. she really did not need saving in this situation.

they proceed to the fountain and ralsei appears behind them, unseen prior to this point. he explains that two animatronics (the ones kris and susie relieved of their duty) had essentially kidnapped him, at which point he used his signature MERCY on them, they accepted him as one of their own, and they had a fun party where ralsei made them cake and sang songs and was generally a nice boy. he got out as soon as he could, he swears!! they go and seal the fountain and it's all in good fun. what a nice dark world adventure.

then three other lightners and burgerpants show up and they start making fountains all over the place and kris turns to the camera and says

"wow... this really was, five knights at ICE-E'S..."

Celestial magic courses through her, as beautiful as it is deadly. As deadly as it is vulnerary. With it, the power of the cosmos is at her fingertips—fate, fortune, destiny. It all hangs as one in the balance. And the balance is at her command. —level 90 compendium

"The Art of the Bath"

a.k.a the one where Hale is a full-on merfolk rather than a half-sea-elf.

〰〰

Gale: It says here that traditionally, the goal is to keep the majority of the water contained within the tub…

Hale [splashing blithely]: Surely you're lying…

Gale: I assure you I'm not, my love. This tome is incredibly respected in the upper city spas—

Hale: Okay, so where’s the part about joining your partner in the bath for best results?

Gale: Now I believe you’re the one inventing maxims…

Hale: No, I don’t believe I am.

snippet hour

thank you for the tag @messymoony <3

James expected the feeling to subside. To grow accustomed to the flutter in his heart, to not feel weak in his very bones every time he took a glance at his lover and to not feel the equivalent of a heart attack every time he looked back. By now, though, he has touched Regulus more times than he could ever count, has stolen glances and kisses, has memorized every inch of his body and soul. Even after all that time, the novelty of it, the giddiness of it, never fades away. James is certain it never will.

low pressure tags: @calamitoustide @coyotelip @w1tch3-writes @noasmirrorball @jeguluses and anyone who feels like sharing a bit! tag me on it, i'd love to read your snippets !!! <3

A Simple Thing by iridan (aka @ryehouses) - a project in bookbinding

Alright folks, I've been sending Hal updates on this since I started it and I am so happy to say that the AST books are finally done! This project put every beginner's skill I had in bookbinding to the test and for all its challenges I'm really happy with the final product.

But wait! Do you also want a printed copy of A Simple Thing? Do you want to be able to stare at the bound books on your shelf and bask in a feeling of accomplishment? Well now you can! Thanks to many hours of perfecting things and compiling stuff (and getting permission to post), there is now a folder of all the files you need to make your very own copies of A Simple Thing!

Both regular PDFs and complete typesets are included, as well as all the PNG files you would need to make exact replicas of my copies should you so chose. All information on sizing, materials used, signature size, and more can be found in the file labeled IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ (almost like it might have vital info).

So go forth and bind away! Any questions or problems with files can be dropped in my ask.
