Flare Signal (by @queenangst/achievingelysium on AO3) Fic Binding Update #6

I LIVE AGAIN

For most people, one bind does not take this long. However I am a) a beginner and b) the physical embodiment of ADHD (so motivation is a lil hard to come by) (my poor friend has been waiting on her birthday gift for over a month now) (but it's fine)

Edge trimming did take ages as I predicted last time but it's DONE and it looks pretty decent considering I did it by hand with a wood chisel and a homemade press. Also finished reinforcing the spine & added headbands and bookmark!

AND I made the case today! First time using the foil quill pen I bought months ago (thanks to the good folks in the @renegadeguild discord server for the recommendation!) I kept the cover design very simple and didn't do anything on the spine or back, mostly because I didn't quite know how the pen worked yet and this was my last bit of red bookcloth so I was Very Scared of Messing Up

The phoenix design definitely isn't as perfect as it would be if I used a cricut, but for hand-drawn I think it looks p good so I'm happy with it

Making sure the case fits, not glued in yet (that's a job for tomorrow)

Hey! Wanted to reach out and ask, do you have a policy for people making nonprofit bindings of your fics? I've been getting into bookbinding lately and am hoping to make a hardcover of Flare Signal for a friend's birthday (it's her favorite fic of all time) but wanted to ask your permission first. Thanks :D

I don't have any policies about bookbinding - no one's ever asked me before! But I got the notification for your ask and that is SO cool and exciting !!!!!! I'm honored!

As long as it's not for profit and just a gift to your friend A THOUSAND TIMES YES

My only condition is if you decide to go through with it to please send me pictures!!

And I love craft and bookbinding and the process - this is only a suggestion, but personally I'd love to see your process and what you do with it! Fan bookbinding is super cool and I love seeing people post about it - if you're willing to share, I know there are plenty other fans who'd enjoy seeing it too! <3

(Also I don't. know. if this is weird or if she'd want it but I'd be happy to write a happy birthday message for your friend or something if you think that would be cool!)

I look forward to seeing what you make!

if you’ll all forgive my insanity. dr who audience-media interaction diagram very much inspired by this deltarune one. Not articulated very well (im running off of minimal sleep rn and am on an adrenaline rush from the day) but regardless

picturing marc at the end of every day of testing once the agenda is sorted and the program is completed just tugging on gigi’s sleeve like can i go out there and lay down a fastlap hard and nasty please

I'm not sure if you're still accepting palette request but if you do: #6 "shy" for toon bendy (BATDR) or maybe #52 "plastic heart" for Twisted Alice?

an anxious demon and a murderous angel. what could go wrong?

batdr bendy with #6 - shy and twisted alice with #52 - plastic heart

I'm not crying (yes I am)

I admire Kunikida so much because he refuses to give up even after everything he's gone through. Not just the Decay of Angels and Vampire arcs, but throughout the story. He's had his ideals challenged over and over again and even had them taunted, and despite that, he completely refuses to give up and it really shows here.

Man needs the biggest, longest break he can get. THEY ALL DO.

IT'S DONEEEEEEEEEE

It's definitely far from perfect but I'm SO HAPPY WITH IT ANYWAY LOOK AT IT

Casing in is my least favorite part of the process, it feels like there's so much that could go wrong and ruin the entire project with every step ;-; Thankfully, all went well this time around, no major issues aside from getting a lot of glue on my hands lol

AND IT'S DONE NOW. I CAN HOLD IT IN MY HANDS. IT'S VERY HEAVY AND ALSO VERY COOL

Gonna send it in the mail to friend ASAP, I'm so excited to get her reaction ehehe

thinking about thomas lynch's "we get no choice. if we love, we grieve." and sister warrior after sister warrior finding a family in the ocs and being left indelibly inked by their time with their sisters and then falling away one by one by one, pawns sacrificed in a greater game, sister after sister after sister chewed up and spat out and left in the dust. warriors carrying their sisters and then carrying their memories and bending beneath the weight of all these ghosts. buoyed only by those who still stand beside them, who reach a hand out to raise them up, who will fall in a day or a week or a month but in that moment they're there with a forearm to grasp and a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on, the tightness of bonds formed in those intimate isolated spaces.

love like a campfire, embers smoldering long after the flames have died off, and sitting by waiting and praying for them to burn out so you can finally, finally rest. beatrice with a chest full of embers from fires that had warmed her for so long, clinging to that last measure of comfort, the lingering heat of that love, in the wake of the ark

BUT NOBODY CAME…

Really feels like I'm shouting into the darkness, looking for commissions so I can get enough money to afford to live. Starting to feel really pointless now.

Been watching The Terror series while making this, snow seemed fitting. This truly is the dark night of my soul.

Please, if you can, I need commissions. Digital, traditional, animated, I'm open to all mediums and fandoms. I have a Ko-Fi open with some options, though I'm willing to create more options for special requests. I will also make a second equal or lesser costing piece for free.

I currently am late with my rent, I need $450 in order to pay it.

Use the link below to get to my Ko-Fi, or DM me here.

lotta people trying to bright side today and i appreciate your service to those who need you

who else is dwelling in misery and anger for at least 24 hours we dont need to talk (i probably wont talk due to the dwelling) but i'm just reminding everyone that we get to feel negative shitty feelings when negative shitty things happen. so dont feel bad for feeling bad: feel bad because we have to do *this* again

[crashout-cain]

One of the narratives I often rotate in my mind without actually ever putting down on paper is Jason and Tim getting stuck in the Star Wars universe. Tim meets a band of honorable Mandalorians who see a badass teenage warrior all alone and immediately are like "you can stick with us as long as you want, we'll even adopt you if you're down for that." He's not down for that, but he does stick with them because he needs to travel the galaxy to look for Jason or whatever. They bond, they train together, they appreciate the cultural significance that covering your face in public can have. Jason showed up on the other side of the galaxy and is going through a different story. They'll meet eventually and it will be a complicated reunion because I enjoy inserting Mandalorians into situations with fucked up family dynamics
