Signal boosting and tagging some peeps I know who weave ^_^

@trashpandacraft @binchickencrafts @gregorvorbarra

My edges are slanting inwards :/

But it's working! Was relatively painless to dress and using it is so much easier than the backstrap loom on my body.

Just practice I guess. If anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them

gregorvorbarra replied to your post “sometimes when i do one of my shoulder tics i get a little electric...”

does it feel like a weird tingly current that goes down ur arm/hand (or part of it)? I get that sometimes and I think it's prob got to do with my nerves

yeah, pretty much exactly like when you accidentally close a circuit and electrocute yourself a little. I’m pretty sure it’s a nerve thing for me too, probably the result of many years of typing at awkward angles with my computer on my lap, but like I keep a wrist brace on hand for when it gets bad and otherwise it doesn’t really affect my life so I’ve been ignoring it

[heckofabecca]

for that palette meme, gregor vorbarra + castle in the sky, please? thanks!

sorry this took so long for me to do! hope you like it :D

ask game: bel!

favorite thing about them: 

there are so many things i love about bel! i think my actual favourite thing is that it’s so adventurous and unabashedly itself, and it Lives Out Loud, which often includes doing some real dumb shit because it thinks either ‘this is the right thing to do’ or ‘this could be funny’.

least favorite thing about them:

can i say the way other people treat it? if not, i guess maybe the fact that sometimes it can be pretty inconsiderate. like, the actual decision to go along with mark’s plan in mirror dance i actually don’t entirely condemn, but taking soldiers into that fight without checking that mark had a proper plan was negligent, kissing mark was probably not a good idea (even if it meant well), it seemed to take a while to start thinking of taura as a person, etc.

favorite line:

i don’t think bel has a lot of oneliners that are great just on their own and out of context - most of its good lines are snarky comments on things other people have said. honestly the one that springs to mind is back in one of the earliest books when they’re all having a dead serious strategy meeting and auson says something to the effect of ‘we’d be hung!’ and bel’s major contribution to this meeting is immediately correcting him to ‘hanged’. that’s the petty shit i live for. i also liked ‘hold your tongue, tung’, because it immediately turns around to miles and goes ‘wasn’t that a great line? i’ve been working on it for years’, like… babe…. you’re so embarrassing….

brOTP:

bel doesn’t have that many ‘onscreen’ friendships so it’s hard to say, i guess. i like the idea of bel and taura becoming really good friends after labyrinth. they can bond over their frilly nighties and taste in men.

and i like the idea of bel and arde (who never interact, if i’m not mistaken) bonding over being the only betans in the dendarii. it’s funny (or not) that bel is the only one who gets the ‘betans are SJWs and/or easy’ jokes, but for some reason no one seems to make those comments about miles or arde. weird, huh?

if we can go with brotps that definitely aren’t canon, i also like the idea of bel and cordelia hanging out, preferably while miles hits his head against the wall trying to forget that his ‘old flame’ (as he put it) has made out with him, his clone, and his stepdad (who screwed both his parents). 

also, bel and byerly impsec shenanigans would be hilarious.

OTP:

miles, for sure. bel and nicol are very cute but i would’ve been over the moon if it had ended up with miles. the first time i read the series, i thought that line to elena, like ‘i’ll tell them i’m marrying bel! and then when i “change my mind” and marry you instead they’ll be super relieved!’ was very unsubtle foreshadowing. and then when mark and bel went off on their adventure and mark nearly cried about bel thinking clones are people, i thought maybe they’d end up together, which would’ve been cool too. but miles would have been the dream.

nOTP:

uhh no one really ships bel with anyone except nicol, miles and occasionally jole. and ivan once or twice, which i’ve only just remembered about but enjoyed deeply. i can’t think of a ship that i’d hate for bel and that anyone would be likely to ship.

random headcanon:

i think there’s a good reason bel doesn’t go back to beta, and i don’t think the reason is genuinely ‘it’s so BORING being treated with respect’. and i think that ties into why bel is super closed off about its family - nicol mentions family in labyrinth and it gets a little evasive, and there’s ‘bel, do you ever wonder why i don’t talk about my family?’ ‘well, there’s a lot of dendarii who don’t….. sir’, and the only time it actually does say anything about its family is that one little quip where miles is making fake small talk and says like ‘oh you’re betan? my mother’s from beta colony’ and bel goes ‘what a coincidence, mine too’. so maybe it has a mother. that’s literally all we know.

i think maaaaaaybe it got into fights as much on beta as it does in the series (maybe with people like cordelia’s mum who are still kind of anti-herm?). from cordelia’s experience and what arde says about the mental health board, it sounds like if you exhibit any off-kilter behaviour then the mental health board just turn up without needing your permission (maybe they need your family’s?) and you get brainwashed until you’re a Shiny Happy Person or whatever. so my personal opinion is that maybe bel ditched beta so it could continue being a disaster in peace.

unpopular opinion:

i don’t think there are any particular popular or unpopular opinions about bel, tbh. i think the closest i get is being mildly disappointed that bel and nicol ended up together? even though they’re very sweet i was rooting for miles to get over his homophobia and transphobia and realise he was actually in love with bel. and i was really really sure it was going to happen so i’m still disappointed that it didn’t.

(there are also more reasons that it’s not my ideal ending, at least not the way it happened, but i’m not gonna go into that right now) 

song i associate with them:

there are lots - maybe sometime i’ll get around to making a playlist. in the meantime, ‘hope on fire’ by vienna teng is a big Bel Song for me. so is ‘dying day’ by brandi carlisle.

favorite picture of them:

every picture of bel is my favourite picture of bel. but if you’re going to make me pick, probably this one or this one.

gregorvorbarra hat auf deinen Eintrag geantwortet “i want to Draw again”

what do you draw on? im also trying to draw again after not drawing for many months, and i was frustrated when nothing looked right. so i bought a $1 unlined notepad and i doodle there instead of my nicer sketchbook, and things look better? bc i’m not worried about wasting my nice paper. i wanted to share the tip! sorry if it’s not useful, and good luck!!!!

yeah, i feel like thats part of it too, like id hate wasting paper and then i try TOO hard (if that makes sense?) and then get frustrated bc ugh. so ill def keep an eye out for a cheap notepad or sth like that next time im in the city! thanks for the tip

[lifefilledwithstories]

alys vorpatril

1) fight for her though she probably could scold them into stopping. 2) 83) would i smooch yes. If she was up for it. 4) I should draw her definitely. 5) her voice. it’s posh but not too posh. Always used proper grammar but an insinuation won’t go over her head. In the right situation she’ll drop one and you’ll be blown away. Everything is her responsibility.

Thank you! Please send me more!!!
