Normal Friend Behaviour.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#lan xichen#Ring ring! It's your judgment call! None of the lan brothers are there to pick it up!#Lan Xichen is so openly like 'I trust Jin Guangyao so much! Our bond is so deep! I believe in him like you believe in wwx!'#The tension! I remember not knowing how this would go because woagh the red flags for betrayal were so strong here.#Now I have spoiler brain so I mostly see the heartbreak coming but I still remember the anxiety of thinking lxc would betray lwj.#The way LXC compares his relationship to JGY is so funny to me. They aren't technically canon but...like....come on.#LXC *also* lets on that he knows LWJ has feelings for WWX. The implications are the loudest subtext I have seen.#Personally I see it as romantically one-sided on LXCs side. I think JGY knows and LXC denies his heart.#I think the tragedy is that JGY can't move past his need to make everything a game of chess to see LXC as more than an oppertunity#Here's the bigger tragedy: The one time he followed his heart...it led him to Qin-Su. Whom he loved dearly!#but...oh god was that ever a massive disaster that must have been internalized as 'following my heart is a mistake I can never make again.'#Ah - Happy Puffy Sleeves WWX debut day! We finally made it!#I'm personally a fan of the happy accident of WWX having white sleeves for this arc B*)

Interest check




I'm probably going to be running a little low stakes sewalong again at the end of this January ('25).
Should we do the Italian chemise or the simplified shirtsleeves? This remains subject to my whims, but:
#the shirt would not have the annoying neck pieces#the chemise is still easier#and makes a divine summer dress#I'd make a long sleeve version this time#and i do need a new shirt for a castle picknick I'm doing in may#a talia original#talia's adventures in dressmaking#silly polls#sewalong chatter#asking for opinions#interest check#image id in alt text#i realised i do not need more petticoats#but i can definitely make a post to explain those

listen. listen, there's a kind of intimacy in having a dedicated rivalry, okay. who else is going to know you like this!!! also it's funny
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw
and on della rovere’s soldier comment:
Popes, Cardinals and War: The Military Church in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe, D.S. Chambers
and finally! regarding the delightful Mess of political-family relationships, including the marriage comment (altho the montefeltro family that giovanni married into did have sforza family ties, since giovanna's mother was battista sforza, but this is about the more immediate alliance based relationship and della rovere's hand in the rejection of a milanese match for his brother. and. this is not even remotely a serious comic, but now I am once again thinking about insular all these families are. the fucking medicis are here too, if you go half a step to the left on della rovere's family tree)
Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw
Giulio II, Il papa del Rinascimento, Giulio Busi (Bianca Maria Visconti is Ascanio's mom. btw)
panel inserts of the cards they're playing with are all from the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck! (I used public domain scans/photos for the comic itself)
ko-fi!⭐ bsky ⭐ pixiv ⭐ pillowfort ⭐ cohost ⭐ cara.app
#weeping. ascanio's dialogue covers up della rovere's sleeve collar. i spent all that time drawing details on it and FOR WHAT#(it was fun)#there was another deleted bit where ascanio has some petty line like 'i bet arguing makes you hard' but then i realized#that's something that lucullus would probably say to crassus and also i need to set that line up for ascanio#we gotta. we gotta character build (lays down face in the ground) we have to provide the character set up for it#it's really more of a line for cesare to drop at some point over how much rodrigo and ascanio argued#shout out to the time rodrigo threatened to throw ascanio into the tiber river or that time ascanio like. decided to physically get into#a fight with juan borgia#and they were still gambling partners after that????? damn okay. sometimes the vice chancellor can be (checks note) im not finishing#that statement#komiks tag#italian renaissance tag#ascanio sforza#giuliano della rovere#i WILL get a relationship dynamic tag for them once i can figure out something punchy and fun. anyway!#ehgh. I NEED. to go to milan. and go thru the archives. let me in. LET ME INNNNNNNNN

#i wont finish it evil wizard took away my drawing abilities again. needed to get it out of my system#i feel like what im trying to say is +- valid but my skill is not nearly enough + the hair thing isss kinda silly#like bro has much more going on. its the what happened right before the scene that makes hair important#but im not drawing what alvin did. i have some shame in me still#also idk if you guys can tell but he tied it with his second sleeve.#he ripped off one to show off as he established himself as a teen punk who takes no responsibility#and now another as he entered the adulthood when he actually has to face the consequences of his actions#wouldnt it be Nice if i drew that instead of rambling in tags :\ but once again evil wizard. .. :\\\#ivan shitson the killer of grass !!!#dagur the deranged#httyd#how to train your dragon#upd FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE COLORS LOOK BETTER ON MY PHONE its darker too tho :( but pink is so PINK need that in ma life#so far im more and more happy with this slop actually#lets see what my morning self says they tend to be wiser

No one's gonna say anything about Zayne fingering you with that glove that covers his two fingers huh
I gotta be the one to say it huh
And the way he's good with his stick
And how skilled he is at getting things into holes
And good LORD the half sleeves the show off his forearms
#shut up elara#love and deepspace#zayne love and deepspace#he's such a smug bastard here and i need him to fuck me senseless#the half sleeves make this outfit scream mitsutada even more for me and I'm still not over it

okay but listen,,, listen,,, are you listening,,, I cannot stop thinking about how the cauldron loves elain and its just... SO interesting to me that the MOMENT she pops out from the depths she's given a mate. there were any number of people there that could have been "assigned" to her ( if ur picking up what I'm putting down lmao ) the cauldron peered into her soul and saw all of her wants and needs and gifted her with the person that embodied all of those things and then some.
I will never stop thinking about this actually.
#elucien#elain x lucien#like lmao az was right there and he could have been chosen but nah#the choice is still hers and she's gonna makes a wrong one first for Drama but the elucien build up is gonna be SO good fr#also something else I was thinking about tonight on the subject of acotar mates is that the cauldron doesnt nessicarily choose 'love' match#it chooses mates people that will shape history above all#if the poor match that was Rhys's parents didn't occur he wouldn't exist#I am fully subscribed to the high king and queen elucien theory tbh and I think that is ANOTHER reason why they were matched#if anyone is capable of ruling prythian its them#anyway that being said they're going to shape history AND elain gets the love of her life is where I was going with that#elain: I need sunshine#the cauldron rolling its proverbial sleeves up: OH?????

guy who vastly underestimated how much of a pain in the ass it would be to sew a costume that needs 12 yards of bias tape
#garak is taking forever oh my god...... it's like day 9 of spending all day working on it#I'm like sooooo close though. I just need to attach the belt and hand sew the sleeves and draw the pattern on the fabric#I convinced myself to start this project by deluding myself into thinking it would only take a few days#I've NEVER put this much effort into a project before I only ever half-ass things and/or give up in the middle#oughhh and I still have to make his prosthetics. and finish the spunnysuit. and the ka'athyra#I think. the kira cosplay is probably not going to happen for stlv this year. I guess I have to live with that#narcissus's echoes

Cardigan S (Pattern | Yarn | Thread)
I have officially cast on for this cardigan! Sleeve #1 (aka Swatch #3). The OG swatch I used size US 8 needles for both the pattern and the ribbing which is exactly what the pattern states but honestly I think my ribbing looks like dogwater. For Sleeve #1 I swapped to a US 6 for the ribbing and then on the increase row swapped back to US 8. The pattern also has you go directly from ribbing into pattern rows but I'm inserting a wrong side stockinette row for that increase/needle size up and we'll see how it looks.
My pocket swatch/Swatch #2/the one mostly covered up by my hand gave both good and bad news. In good news, 26 stitches is wide enough both for my hand and more importantly my cellphone. In bad news, it wants the pockets to only be five inches tall, and that is NOT enough for either my hand or my cellphone. Easy fix esp considering I plan on completely ignoring every single direction on how to make the pockets Except for the actual stitch count. More on that once I get the Second (and hopefully last) yarn I ordered for pockets.
I didn't realize but because of this shiny thread I'm going to have to knit both sleeves and the two front pieces one at a time.... Taking lots of notes for how many rows I do things in to hopefully match them well enough.
#knitting#knitblr#wip#lace rot#lace knitting#project: cardigan s#i fully expect to have to reknit this sleeve at least once. so i didn't bother with a tubular cast on or anything and just did long tail#and if i don't have to reknit this sleeve i'll just. live with long tail on everything lmaooo#is the shiny effect from the glitter thread worth not being able to knit taat? probably not. but I'm sticking to it now i'm commited#i'm procrastinating so hard on starting the patterning for this sleeve#not because it's hard but because i want to make a chart to keep track of my rows. and i don't feel like formatting it#also also i need to think about what kind of buttons i want for this. because i'm still completely unsure#like do i go with something pink. do i do something gold??? or black??#what i SHOULD do is swatch a button hole so i can find out exactly what size buttons i'll need. but i already cast on for the sleeve....#i made a note to swatch the button hole before starting the second sleeve lets see if i remember

My mandatory two weeks off comes to an end today and I am horrifyingly and tragically back in the office tomorrow, but I also just bought a digital sewing pattern so I'm looking forward to making use of the good quality office printers to print it all out. Seeing the silver lining is a vital life skill and baby I am an expert at it
#ramblings of a bystander#the pattern itself is 51 A4 pages asdfghjkl#but to be fair some of those will be basically blank#either cause they have some part of the pattern for a different size (which i can toggle off for print)#or just generally because that's how the conversion to A4 from A0 went. alas I don't have cheap access to paper or printer that large#and there's 19 pages of instructions which.... well sure i can print those off too why not. helpful not to have to pause to read a screen#and can highlight and make notes#but with 70 pages total to print off..... i'm gonna space it out a bit. just a couple of pages per day...#not in a rush to actually start sewing since I'd still need to get the fabric and lining and other bits and bobs#i've got other things i can work on in the meantime. but we are initialising!!!#soon enough i will be crying in frustration at sewing the sleeves!!!

sometimes it turns out you're not an XS, you're just an XL who happens to be 5'4"
#men's fashion#transmasc#this is a subtweet to men's fashion#cause I just tried on the fucking XL and XXL shirts I bought at the charity shop as sacrifices to sewing shenanigans#cause that's the W I D T H I need for the hips#and they were not nearly as misfitting on me as I expected them to be#like still very much too big but mostly in terms of length and only marginally in shoulders and collar#like shoulders on the XL one are basically the same amount of too big for me as they are on the S I also bought#men's fashion explain yourself#wtf is this#this is after buying L/XL shorts yesterday too for same hip reason albeit with less worry abt other proportions#turns out#only short#men's fashion doesn't give a shit abt how slender some parts of you may be#widest part is all that counts#cause male fashion shape language says to be WIDE#and you gotta lean into it all the way apparently#I feel both pissed off and enlightened abt these recent insights smh#the XL one makes my shoulders look incredible I am severely tempted to just shorten it and fix the sleeves#but I may just trace the pattern and use its structural knowledge on future own projects hmm

made an irresponsible lord huron purchase tonight but what the hell else am I supposed to do when their next album is overdue
#it isnt SUPER irresponsible lmao it almost was because i almost started buying CLOTHING#i just bought the two vinyls i dont have yet and a stupidly expensive candle#anyway also i know no album is ''overdue'' but they released the first four with two year breaks in between and#its been two years :( summer of 24 was supposed to be the next#apparently they're playing some new songs on tour so people think the next album teasers will start dropping after the tour#but im starting to be filled with a very evil sickness lord huron where are you!!!!!! nobody gets it like you!!!!!!#also to be fair they made the entire score of a movie in between those two years so TECHNICALLY they DID release the next album#ITS NOT THE SAME THOUGH i need new songs with lyrics that make me feel like im being strangled (on account of the crying)#im not at all bored of their older stuff (which is wild to me bc i have adhd brother. all i do is get bored of things)#but in order for me to survive i need to be chewed up and spit out by music every now and then#and NOBODY does it like lord huron#twirling my hair around my finger spring 25 maybe?#also if that (frankly ridiculously) expensive knit sweater t shirt is still in the shop after the holidays#a second irresponsible purchase will be hitting my bank account lmfao#i have one shirt w their logo on it but its TOO SMALL#and im ANGRY ABOUT IT#why i didnt just return it and get a bigger size i will never know but they dont carry it anymore :(#ANYWAY they left me with ''i was born with an ace up my sleeve'' and expected me (ace) to just be normal about it????#please make lots of merch and music. its how i stay alive :)
