#found family thread

Honestly the "wear womens clothes as a man, take the fashion you want" thing wouldn't be a terrible idea if they were sized relatively the same.
The problem is, they're not, so unless you are a twig of a man whom an M sits loose on you're not going to fit in the womens' XXXL pants, because they're smaller than the men's M.
It's irritating too because I'm too short for most mens' pants, but womens' pants are sized like.
well.
like the designer is trying to give someone an eating disorder.
So I'm either looking at something that doesn't go up to my waist size, or that I have to hem, which sucks and is annoying, and is not even possible for a lot of pants that have things printed on them.
#social issues#fatphobia#bit of an elephant in the room with clothes culture in general but also a specific barrier to the well-meaning ''queer it up'' advice#fuck. I wonder if I were to trade a favor with a family member who sews like they know what they're doing#and ask them to just. fold up and sew a section of the middle of a pair of pants I have#That would probably just look like a design eccentricity if I matched the thread color well enough#damn I need to learn to use a sewing machine but even if I found one in a dumpster I'd have nowhere to keep it.

If you're interested in textile art, please understand it will not end at one of the arts. Interested in weaving? There are many different types, so now you're learning about the culture these styles come from, and with that comes learning about their clothing. Now you're interested in learning how to sew clothing, and much of it has some kind of embroidery. So you do research and see how beautiful it is, and different types of embroidery exist. You decide to learn embroidery and get curious about lace because often they're seen together.
Prepare for a journey and get real good at organizing. You'll soon lose space because of supplies and tools.
#words from the artist#textile artist#textiles#i made macrame jewelry for over 20 years and burned out but i'm also in a family of quilters and found something new. now i make quilts#and have a huge interest in learning thread painting and embroidery. most importantly i want to learn how to make and repair my#own clothing. do you know how difficult it is to find clothing thag fits a curvy woman barely over five feet tall? apparently being short#means being skinny. i'm not nor are most short folks i know. plus i can never find anything with big bold bright prints or shorts not made#of denim and at knee-length but also baggy. the “shorts” i have are shorts on people over 5'6“. they're capris on me. the only way i will#ever have clothes i love is to make them myself. i also intend to decorate current and future clothing with embroidery.#and also learn sashiko and apply it to mending and handquilting. my right hand and wrist are what's stopping me from learning#knit or crochet and several other things. yup physical disabilities are why i haven't taken those on.

God Evan's speech this episode just really really fucking got me. I too had to learn the hard way that found family only works when the other people are also looking for a family. And most of the time they already have their own.
#dimension 20#misfits and magic#possibly because i am already hanging on by a thread due to everything#but i was fucking crying man#i had that same fucking experience#i went to college looking for a found family#and found some of the best friends i ever had and we were so close while we were there#but they had families to go back to#and life pulled them in all different directions are graduation#theyre still my best friends and i love them to death#but i know itll never be what i wanted it to be

Why is it that fandoms with their games made by the same company hate each other so much whereas this is the opposite?
#project moon#limbus company#library of ruina#honkai impact#lobotomy corp#arknights#im in honkai 3rd fandom and limbus fandom and i tell you there should be atleast more than one drama of hyv fandom starting a war#whereas theres atleast on twt thread of unclefucker discussion between limbus and arknights#hoyoverse#mihoyo#genshin impact#honkai star rail#atleast ggz is seperate from this shitshow#i should try arknights while waiting for the pm drama to end#the friendship between limbus fandom and arknights fandom is the most random thing yet wholesome shit i’ve ever seen#is this what fame did to game company#i know pm and hypergryph are famous to but lets be real here hyv literally dominate the gacha game#apart from type moon obviously#prove thst found family is healthier than actual family#hi3rd is like the underdog despite its also famous but we just got drag into this fight

sxsg spoilers
i loved the optional character dialogue you could get from npcs. tbh i forgot to talk to them a lot but here are a few ones i liked lmao (ignore how the game looks if it runs it runs)
#most of these i just found funny#the one where maria talks about family got me curious tho#there are so few characters in sonic whose family is biological#like cream + vanilla and the robotniks (sans shadow and eggman’s creations)#are the only ones i can think of#is it because having siblings/parents implies a backstory and most characters dont really have one?#to be clear im talking about games only#i know characters have families in like archie and stuff (except for amy?)#anyway i guess its just interesting they decided to have a narrative thread#about found/adoptive(?) family vs biological#because yeah shadow has both#good (bad) for him#sth#sonic x shadow generations#sonic x shadow generations spoilers#sxsg#sxsg spoilers

the eye of kethisca was the friends we made along the way
#all jokes LMAO i enjoyed the podcast and adore the found family dynamic nadia and drayden developed#not to mention another trans character added to da's roster!!! very epic!!!#and of course the companions and getting to know them#but the writing was a lil weird because they built this whole plot thread about the eye only to never mention it again even at the end#another solasfailure /solas flop for the books i suppose#vows and vengeance#vows and vengeance spoilers#ibon.txt#i keep getting ads for the pod where they use the 'eye of kethisca' line and i just find it amusing bc where'd that plotline go 😭#dragon age spoilers#generally

still haven't moved on from zane in this episode (aka I hit tag limit again and am unhappy about it)
#alek insanity#not gonna main tag this but prepare for a tiny rant#home is actually really good zane characterization and its super cool to me how it holds up to this day#s1 characterization is very specific to me because the behaviors displayed by the ninja there (mostly) isnt bc thats how they really are but#its due to societal pressure. cole originally being more 'stone faced tough guy' -> 'down to earth' -> 'really sensible easy to talk to guy'#is because hes always been a sensitive guy... but he felt he couldnt express that true version of himself. thats the whole thing behind his#true potential. jay going from s1 -> s6 -> now is less of societal pressure and more teenager figuring himself out but it still applies. ish#seeing how much the ninja have changed or grown from then to now is amazing because back then they all wore masks. they didnt know each#other all that well. but theyve gained that comfortability with each other and also have grown and matured as people#some seasons / eps characterization for certain people im not a fan of (lloyds random misogyny arc in s13) but i mean the overall trend here#and then there is zane. zane in home was pretty dead on to how he behaves now (at least... when it comes to his faults?) and i dont want to#say people skim over that but i am the sf proclaimed n1 s1e2 fan and overthink every scene. zane's early characterization is some of my fav#for him period. he also goes through a ton of traumatic stuff and a ton of bad writing bouts but why he acts so 'weird' or 'distant' has#always been a thread sewn in. he changed so much he stayed the same in a way... if that makes sense. -> ohhh the ninja get mail and he#doesnt? oh he has no family? he quite literally walks away from that situation. oh the ninja are yelling in his face and asking whats wrong#with him? he literally walks away from that situation. he says its to follow the falcon but seeing how he apologized to them by not only#baking a ton of pies (cough... the food fight is what led to him leaving at first) but he also found them a whole entire new house.#zane is unable to truly value what he does for others. insert him in s11 saying he 'tried' to fufill his goal of protecting others.#everything he has ever done still isnt good enough. then the ninja tried to apologize and he didnt really... let them.#that one post about characters putting on facades and that facade being how people really see them. even in fandom. thats zane to me#the guy who lies about being upset and avoids his problems ran away after being yelled at? and he said he wasnt really mad? that is a lie!!#him being a ~360 when it comes to his character development is neat to me because he never hid behind a mask in the same way the others did#cole wanting to seem tough vs being really soft? kai wanting approval so bad he starts being selfish? kai isnt selfish usually!#he is self centered but that is a whole different thing. just wanting to fit in and breaking free of that. zane's true potential came in the#form of 'i finally know why i am not normal' instead of 'i will be my true self'. zane never pretended to not be weird#(instert book) states he literally didnt know why people got mad at him. he just existed and it was 'wrong'. the mask he hid behind was#avoidance. he was pretty open about how he actually was (most of the time). when he was upset he would audibly sigh and walk away lol#but for him saying he wasnt upset / saddened by the ninja... it felt like a moment of selflessness. if that makes sense. he blamed himself#for the monestary burning down. so he didnt deserve the apologies (ish) in the virtues of spinjitzu zane is shown as the generous one iirc#he puts the needs of others over his own. he will bear whatever burden he needs if others are happy. at that same time he doesnt allow

The Golden Thread - Nasha
Masterlist
"Your heart seems elsewhere, child." Her grandmother's voice, sharp as her gaze, cut through her reverie.
"Is it so visible?" Nasha asked, a half-smile fleeting across her lips.
"Only to eyes that have seen many summers come and go," her grandmother replied, her look softening.
Nasha wandered past the garden, hands reaching out to caress the petals of wildflowers. She plucked them gently, gathering a bouquet, each color representing wishes for the future.
Under an oak, girls from the village gathered, their laughter as bright as the ribbons they wove into each other's braids. They spoke of suitors and promises, of weddings that would soon take place.
"Come join us, Nasha!" one called, a bloom of excitement in her cheeks.
Nasha paused, her fingers closing around the stems in her hand. The pull of expectation tugged at her, yet she remained rooted to the spot.
"Perhaps another time," she called back, her voice steady.
She watched for a moment longer before she turned away.

If I were to name this (Incomplete) sketch
It would be hard not to call it
"Hanging by [a] Thread[s]"
But maybe I would call it "Hold On" or "Only Now" or "Tension"
Or maybe something long and ridiculous like it was a late noughts emo song.

You know what I must say I love about my blog?
Family, comforting plots are just as important as shipping here.
#Writing as Bobby has given me a whole new appreciation for found family threads#If you're looking for platonic family oriented plots I got you#Come and let bobby throw a ball around with your muse#I'm just so happy that I decided to try something new#ooc > katers speaks

congrats on being one of two people I've seen tag the "pry/probably" poll who's actually used "pry" as shorthand for "probably"! I appreciate u LMAO /silly o7
just doing my part to make the english language as unbearable as possible
#but in all seriousness i wasnt even certain i DID say 'pry' in place of probably until i looked it up in my discord history#and i did a bit of 5 minute google searching and found a thread of a guy who found it weird his entire spouse's family said 'pry'#but when he pointed it out to them they denied it#so im wondering if more ppl do and they just dont think about it#skeleask
