HAPPY PRIDE MONTH
As every year this is a good date to remember the daily struggle for the rights of the LBGT+ community. It is also a time to learn about the people who made it possible for us to identify ourselves as who we are today without fear of reprisals or being punished by the law. This month I got involved in the history of Argentina and its different movements for the fight for rights through the 20th century. Here I come to share some important figures, some more known than others, but obviously there are a lot that I have left out of this publication.
Sara Facio (1932-2024) & Maria Elena Walsh (1930-2011)
A couple of intellectual artists that would need a separate publication to go deeper into the subject. Sara is one of the greatest Latin American photographers who with her camera contributed to the creation of the most outstanding photographic heritage of the country. Maria Elena is a writer, singer and composer whose children's songs resonate to this day because they are much more profound than they seem and are still relevant today.
Salvadora Medina Onrubia (1894-1972)
She was a writer, militant anarchist, single mother and the first woman to run a newspaper in the country. She was the first Argentinean woman to dare to write about double sinners, lesbians and adulteresses. One of her most valued plays was Las descentradas, premiered in 1929. There, Salvadora honors her own contradictions, narrating women who question monogamous structures, marriage and the traditional family.
Malva Solis (1920-2015)
She was a transvestite writer who lived for 95 years when the life expectancy of this community in the country was under 40 years old. In 1951 founded the first trans organization on record, Maricas Unidas Argentinas. She has the oldest series of trans photographs in the country, dating from 1940 to 1980, when simply having those photographs at home was cause for being arrested. There is a documentary based on the photographs and conversations with her at her home called "Con Nombre de flor".
Jorge Horacio Ballve Piñero (1920-?)
Piñero was a young man from a well-to-do family of the Buenos Aires society at the beginning of the century. Together with his best friend Adolfo and Blanca, he organized gatherings in his apartment in Recoleta, and was a pioneer of male erotic photography. They mixed the privileged social class with workers, dishwashers, gas station workers, sailors and cadets from the Military College. These three characters were involved in a police case involving cadets from the military college, known as the Cadet Scandal. In the police archives remain captive the photographic collection, intended for pleasure and personal aesthetic enjoyment that tragically proved key to incriminate some friends who just wanted to have fun.
Ruth Mary Kelly (1925-1994)
She was a bisexual woman, who worked as a "Wohoo Worker". Founder of Grupo Safo in 1972, the first Argentine lesbian organization, and of the Frente de Liberación Homosexual (Homosexual Liberation Front). In 1972 she wrote Memorial de los Infiernos about her experiences as a "Wohoo" worker and bisexual, persecuted by the psychiatric-prison system.
Manuel Puig (1932-1990)
He was an Argentine writer and LGBT+ activist, author of the novels Boquitas pintadas, El beso de la mujer araña (Considered one of the most recognized LGBT works in Latin America and one of the best works in Spanish of the 20th century) etc. He also fought against authoritarianism and machismo, and was one of the founders of the Homosexual Liberation Front in 1971, one of the first associations for the defense of LGBTQI+ rights.
Mariela Muñoz (1943-2017)
She was the first transsexual woman to be recognized by the state and given a female ID card on May 2, 1997. At the age of 16 she became independent, and it was then that she began caring for children, teenagers and single mothers. She cared for children who had been abandoned by their mothers, whom she loved and cared for. She raised, during her lifetime, 23 children and 30 grandchildren. In a dispute over the guardianship of 3 children in 1993, Argentina was confronted for the first time with the debate as to whether a transsexual person "could be a mother"
Carlos Jauregui (1957-1996) & Raul Soria
Carlos was a History professor and the founder of the Civil Association Gays for Civil Rights, organizer of the first Pride march in Buenos Aires and an essential figure for Argentine activism. In 1984, he broke with the schemes by appearing in the magazine Siete Días embracing the activist Raul Soria, a homosexual person assumed his sexuality in a public way for the first time. He believed that media visibility is fundamental for LGTB people. Leaving aside the fear and silence that other generations suffered for years. In 1985, Raul would present himself as the first gay candidate for congressman in the country.
Roberto Jauregui (1960-1994)
Brother of Carlos, was a journalist, actor and the first activist for the rights of people with HIV in the country. In 1989 he exposed the inequality in access to treatment at that time due to the price of medication. He played a central role in marches, actions, talks and interviews to demand human rights for people living with the virus. A well-known phrase of his is "Showing one's face is not easy in a society that discriminates, censures and separates".
Cris Miró (1965-1999)
Cris was the first visible trans people that appeared in the media and broke with the "transvestite" paradigm. A dental student, she got involved in the artistic underworld and later studied classical dance, musical comedy and acting. Her career was meteoric: the popularity of revue theater catapulted her to the small screen where she became a sought-after figure in the most popular programs. On June 23rd, a series about his life inspired by his biography was released, available on Prime Video.
Alejandro Vannelli (1948-) y Ernesto Larresse (1950-)
They were the first couple in the province of Buenos Aires to get legally married on July 30, 2010 after the Equal Marriage Law was passed. They met in 1976 because of a triple A bomb in the theater where Larresse was performing with Nacha Guevara, then he joined the cast of Vannelli. At the beginning they did not like each other because of Vanelli's appearance as a wealthy young man and Larresse was the opposite, but opposites attracted and they were a couple for 34 years.
Norma Castillo (1943-) y Ramona "Cachita" Arévalo (1943-2018)
They were the of South America's first gay marriage on April 9, 2010. Norma and Ramona were married to two Colombians, who were cousins to each other. During the dictatorship they both went into exile in Colombia and there they fell in love and lived their romance clandestinely, until Cachita separated and Norma was widowed by her husband. They lived their love freely and even opened an LGBT discotheque in Colombia. In 1998 they returned to Argentina and began to work in sexual diversity organizations.
Feliciano Centurión 1962-1996)
He was a visual artist, a Paraguayan painter professionally trained in Argentina. He grew up in a home dominated by women, where he learned to sew and crochet. Inspired by queer aesthetics and folk art, he used to incorporate household textiles and references to the natural world. She handled kitsch art and languages not considered high art with a great deal of knowledge and sensitivity.
Humberto Tortonese (1964-) , Alejandro Urdapilleta (1954-2013) & Batato Barea (1961-1991)
Batato was an actor and "literary transvestite clown" as he called himself, one of the most important personalities of the underground theater movement of the post-dictatorship years. Together with Alejandro Urdapilleta and Humberto Tortonese, revolutionized the underground scene of the 80's - in places like the Parakultural. They disguised themselves, wore make-up and improvised delirious and strident scenes for the decade.
Sandra Mihanovich & Celeste Carballo
Sandra and Celeste are two singers who were visibly lesbians during the 80s and early 90s. Together they released the albums "Somos mucho mas que dos" and "Mujer contra mujer" which became a symbol of belonging for the whole LGBTQ arc in our country. They managed to be part of the rock scene, an area historically dominated by men. Sandra among all her songs is "Soy lo que soy" released in 1984 composed by Henry Jerman.

Typesetting Tips 4.5: Graphics/Images
One common question I see popping up for people getting into making books/typesets is 'where do I find graphics/images to decorate my books with?' And of course, that's with the caveat of 'and they're free'.
Thus, this is a continuation of my old post on where to find graphics/images to use for typesetting/book design. Because it's been half a year since then, and while I am very much the same amateur typesetter I was then, I am now a slightly older amateur typesetter---who knows more websites!
(I'm including websites I've listed before so that all the links are in one post)
All these sites have free offerings to varying degrees. Personally, I haven't had to pay anything so far for that I've used. If you see something you like that's locked behind a paywall, try to reverse google search it to see if there's a free version out there! I've seen a lot of these sites upload the same images. Also, be careful of AI!
Graphic/Image Resources:
Archive.org - Internet Archive. Not as easy to download or use images from, but there are a lot of cool resources there if you have the time.
Canva - Easy to use for beginning design work. I recommend taking advantage of their month long free trial (I found it easy to cancel as well when it was over), but do not recommend subscribing.
Creative Fabrica - They send out a lot of free bundle promos in their email subscriptions. I mostly use them for fonts but they do have a lot of free resources for crafting.
Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository - This is an animal photography database by @why-animals-do-the-thing! They have a lovely growing repository that's both education and free! Just be sure to ask permission and credit and link to them if you to use their work!
Freepik - More free stuff! I haven't used it a lot yet, but I've seen this site recced by others.
Heritage Library - Lot of neat pngs/vectors. Especially great if you're looking for vintage/nature images.
Pixabay - Royalty free and under the Content License
Rawpixel - Probably the site I use the most. I sort to exclude all the AI images and just use the free/public domain stuff.
Noun Project - Lots of icons available. Tend to be more minimalistic and simple. I know a lot of bookbinders use this site, though I haven't explored it much.
Smithsonian - The Smithsonian Open Access is free database from the Smithsonian with millions of images available.
Streamlinehq - Another site with a lot of free icons. Most of their really cool assets cost money, but you can sign up for free with an email address to download 10 free assets if you see something you really like.
Wikiart - Great place to look at public domain artwork.
Wikimedia Commons - (Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, Wiki Books, etc.) Tons of stuff to sift through.
Last source: FONTS! You can go a long way with dingbat fonts for decorations! Frames, ornaments, etc. can be done with fonts. Check out dafont and other free font sites; fonts can sometimes be a lot easier to use in texts than images.

endearing | jjk
pairing: jungkook x reader
summary: you're just worried when your loud housemate suddenly goes quiet after serenading you for hours
rating: pg13 | word count: 1.3k
genre/au: housemates!au, romance?, fluff (lmao who's this), they're just fRiEnDs 🤭
warnings/content: just alcohol consumption, they're sweet ig 🥰
a/n: yk i’m supposed to be on break (literally on midterm season) but here we are. also i haven’t written a purely SFW drabble for a very long time so please bear with me i just love him sm. huge thank you to my phone's voice feature lol, i'd never finished this in a few hours with how slow i usually am.
companion song: more than friends by becky g 💖
You’re scrolling through your phone when you notice that the whole house has suddenly turned quiet.
You couldn’t be that you’re fixated on your phone that you didn’t notice your housemate has ended his karaoke session because you swear the living room was still loud just a few minutes ago. Jungkook, one of your housemates, has been singing his heart out since past 1 AM today. Not that you mind it really, because you’re a night owl, just like him. You love it when he does his live streams because he usually does karaoke sessions in each of them no matter what he was doing at first.
Jungkook’s one of the popular students on your campus and has a huge following on his IG account, which he uses mainly for everything, no matter how random they are. He deletes his pictures often though when he feels like changing his feed. You’re hoping that he just archived them because he’s quite talented at photography. However, he does frequent lives on IG in return since people tune in when he goes live anyway, filled with comments from either his group of friends or his admirers.
It’s been a while since you heard Jungkook singing. He has a very beautiful voice that even though he doesn’t remember the lyrics for most of the songs that he sang, he still sounded so good to anyone who’s listening. Your other housemates are still not back from their reading week vacation, giving Jungkook the only time when he could be as loud as he can in the house without disturbing anybody. He’s aware that you stay up like him and listen to him when he’s singing, relieved that out of your housemates, it’s you who remained with him. Both of you are the only ones who didn’t go anywhere because of your packed schedules.
Tonight, as diverse as his playlist is, you still feel like he’s serenading you with most of his song choices. Those songs are on your playlist too, which he knew since you’ve shared each other’s links before. So now you’re going to let yourself be deluded, humming along to the songs while you’re getting your tasks done. When the music stopped, you thought he was just taking breaks, so you didn’t think much of it. Jungkook usually creates small noises after he’s done, cleaning up the living room and kitchen before going back to his room.
But it’s suddenly quiet. Did he fall asleep already? Should you check, but then why would you? Jungkook sleeps anywhere at any time unlike you, but you’ve always been paranoid. The lazy part of you wants to close your eyes and fall asleep already, but the other part wants to go down and check. It’s just normal right just in case? Besides, it’s also part of your responsibility as a housemate.
It’s the least you could do for Jungkook because he took care of you many times when you come home drunk from house parties at 5 AM. He even took as much as helping you by being there while you let everything out, offering you a glass of water and making sure you remove your makeup before tucking you into your bed after. He cooks you noodle soup in the morning too in case you get hangovers, which you thankfully don't but your heart somersaults every time with how thoughtful he is.
So despite how comfy your bed is right now, you forced yourself to get up and pushed away your comforter before going down to the living room to check.
And your guts were right because you see Jungkook sleeping soundly on his stomach by the couch with a lighted-scented candle on the table in front of him. The light from the candle allows you to see his handsome face clearly, with flushed cheeks and slightly puckered lips as he sleeps in his arms. He looks adorable, wearing a black crewneck in sweater paws, obscuring his colourful sleeve from your eyes. His cute snores crack a small smile on your face as you approach his sleeping figure, carefully taking the remote from his hands. Sure, he’s a deep sleeper, but you didn’t want to wake him up because it’s already 4 AM and you’re a bit sleepy too.
You then turn off the TV and unplugged the mood lamp that he designed for one of his classes. It’s so pretty, and he brings it out in the living room once in a while, especially when he’s doing his live streams. You also just noticed the half-filled beer mug on the table, taking it with you to the kitchen where you’ve put it back on the ref before deciding to look for spare blankets for him. You couldn’t find any though, so you just opted for his room, which is surprisingly wide open.
Jungkook stays in the room on the first floor, so he frequents the living room when he’s not gaming or doing schoolwork. Entering his room, you grabbed his blanket at once, fighting the urge to nuzzle it, given how good Jungkook usually smells when you hug him. You went back to the living room and put the blanket over him, pushing away a strand of his hair from his closed eyes before tucking it behind his ears. His hair had gotten longer and curly, so fluffy too that you’d been expressing how you love this look on him. Jungkook smiles when you do, letting you ruffle his hair more.
He stirs a bit, causing you to go rigid and worried that you woke him up. You don’t move until you were sure that he’s fully sleeping. And though he might not hear it, you still wish him a quiet good night before eyeing the candle. You love the smell of it but for safety reasons, you blow out and retreat upstairs to your room.
.
The footsteps padding in the hallway woke you up from your deep slumber, being the sensitive sleeper you are. You’re wondering how Jungkook’s awake at this hour and why he’s up here, reluctantly rising from your bed before opening the door. There you watch him scurrying back to the stairs wrapped in his blankets looking like a deer caught in the headlights when he hears you.
“Jungkook? why are you awake? do you need something? it’s still early” you asked him sleepily while rubbing your eyes.
“um, i woke up and i-uh” he couldn’t look you in the eye, the nervousness evident in his voice. “you can’t sleep?” you yawn, yearning to go back to your comfy bed but you just wanna talk to him more.
Jungkook shakes his head. “i just wanna say thank you for earlier and uh-sorry for waking you up” he grins apologetically, rubbing the back of his neck.
“oh Kook, that’s nothing compared to what you’ve done more for me” you smile at him, truly grateful for his existence in your life. Hold, you’re sleep deprived to be having these thoughts right now but Jungkook just looks so endearing in your eyes despite how sleepy you still are.
Damn, you really should sleep more.
He’s oddly looking at you fondly so you mimic him, both of you waiting who will back down first. Jungkook looks like he wants to say something more, tongue poking around his lip ring with that doe eyes of his. You smile at him, urging him to continue. He’s back to being shy around you these days for some reason but you don’t wanna pry, just want him to be comfortable as much as possible.
“i’m still sleepy so i’m going back to my room” you can see him retracting so you approach him, a knowing smile already plastered on your face. “do you wanna cuddle? i think we’ll fit in my bed” his nervous eyes were replaced with excitement, following you to your room.
You didn’t even get to lie down on your bed properly when he tackles you, spurring a hearty giggle out of you with him matching you. “what?” he hugs you right away, mumbling something against your skin as he snuggles his head on the crook of your neck. Your hands automatically card through his luscious hair until you hear his breathing slow down, and his cute snores occurring once again.
Guess you’ll never know what all these are for until he wakes.
e/n: i'm testing many things from this so hope it's wholesome enough lmao (i tried). have a lovely week everyone!

TVCHIVERSE: Where Fandoms Collide and Stories Ignite
Hello All. This is the formal landing page of an amalgam of daydreams, fantasies, and imitations brought to you in story/fanfiction form.
Few ground rules.
Please talk back! If you like anything I've written, have a few questions about what may happen next, or even have a few suggestions on what you would like to see, PLEASE LIKE, REBLOG, and COMMENT!!! Your feedback helps me write when I don't feel like it, helps me know what specifically you liked about that particular story, and it helps me get an energy boost.
Please be respectful. I don't walk into your house and open your fridge, go through your mail, or answer your phones. Don't come in here, especially in the comments, bullying, criticizing (not critiquing), or just being mean-spirited overall. I will delete your comments and block you.
Please, don't steal. Not only is stealing ugly, but it's also beneath you. I don't mind people drawing information from my work. However, taking my work and direct concepts of it and passing it off as your own is stealing. That will get you called out and then blocked. With that being said: Do not copy or repost my work. Do not use my work to train AI.
Please be mindful. This is ADULT content ONLY. Minors, new adults, and young adults may be depicted, but this content is for ADULTS ONLY. 18+. Please head the trigger warnings attached to the beginning of each post. Please do not ignore those, it's impolite. We're are very mindful, very demure around here.
Please be patient. While it is an ultimate goal of mine, writing IS NOT my day job. My job is very demanding and high-stakes, and when I'm not doing that, I love to be outside drawing from real-life experiences, reading, or watching TV/Flim. While I am open to requests, please try and respect the turnaround time I have to put these stories out as well as the other ideas I've had. I chose to create this page to showcase my work and push myself to write almost every day. This is supposed to be fun, NOT stressful. I reserve the right to refuse, deny, or allow myself ample time regarding requests. So please... Don't piss me off.
Now that that is out of the way. I definitely want to give some shout outs to people who had encouraged me to write. Again many thanks to @megamindsecretlair , @thecapodomme , and @vivalaorgasm . Love yall. I'm back writing again cuz a writer writes. But I've never felt rushed or pushed by yall. Just nothing but encouragement, good vibes, and great inspo. Also shout out to the entire #TerryRichmondFanfaction #RebelRidgeFanction for waking your girl up. Especially @megamindsecretlair , @hotgrlcece, @sweettea-and-honeybutter !!!
OK....now I don't just write. Like many of you, I have many hobbies some of which include: Reading, Music/Music History, TV/Flim, Photography, and Fashion. So some of my tags are:
#TVCHIVERSE - the universe where all of my fanfictions live. I will also be posting my short prose and poetry here as well.
#TVCHIsTunes - When I write, I usually write to music. My Spotify is riddled with so many playlists and mixes that I should honestly go to DJ school already. Anyway, I'll share tunes that I've been obsessed with here. #TVCHIsRunway - where fashion and fashion history live. Archival posts get reblogged. Occasional showcase some of my own fits and style. #TVCHIsLibrary - Posting and reblogging some great books that I've read as well as great Fanfics I’ve come across on here. May even do some reviews. Also will be posting some things from my TBR to see whether yall have read it or not and your thoughts about it before I read. (No spoilers, if you can avoid it) #TVCHIsTV - I ultimately want to become a screenwriter yall. For real. I hope to learn from all forms of media, and the easiest for me to start out with is poetry, prose, and novels. However, I do want to be in the writers' rooms. So, with this tag, I'll post my favorite TV shows and films, speak about why I like them, and dissect plot, narratives, and scriptwriting.
#TVCHIsGallery - This tag will be me reblogging or posting art that I think is gorgeous regardless of the subject matter.

I made this for cara but thought I should use it to FINALLY make a proper pinned post on here! (image descriptions in alt text)
Hello everyone (:
I thought I'd use this to properly re-introduce myself. These days I have a lot going on irl, so I'm not as interactive on here as I used to be. However, I love making new friends and getting to know their projects :D Some of my most important friends are from here, even if most of them are no longer active on writeblr (we have migrated to discord), so if you think we'd vibe pls shoot me a message!!
What you can expect:
Started out as an artblr, then turned into a writeblr, now it's mostly me collecting inspiration, art and writing references, with some infrequent original writing wip/art posts ✴︎ — more info about tags and writing below the cut — ✴︎
✴︎ — #queer tag - I reblog a lot of queer related posts, particularly about aro/ace and gender related topics
✴︎ — #inspirational - art, writing, photography, nature/environmental issues related topics, history, paleontology, archaeology; things I find inspiring and fascinating :D
✴︎ — i love all of the creatures, fictional or real, but less in a "cute videos" and more in a "I love how our world works" type way. I worked at a wildlife sanctuary for a year after school and learned a lot there. one day i will be the forever home for an old cat nobody else wants
✴︎ — sometimes I still post art and or writing, though I guess there'll be more art on Cara if you wanna follow me there (less AI threat)
✴︎ — i study concept art, work as a freelance illustrator, and am currently working on my MA thesis project "Fragments of the Infinite"
✴︎ — my main wip novel (Dream's Shadow) is probably finally getting close to being Finished. Feels somewhat surreal. idk if it's even worth querying it because it really doesn't fit into the current publishing world but it's not actually finished yet anyway so... we can worry about that later
✴︎ — very into fantasy with cool worldbuilding in particular. don't much care for elves/dwarves/.. fantasy preindustrial england type worlds, but dungeon meshi is my current obsession so if it's deeply developed and interesting enough I don't really mind :)
✴︎ — hopepunk my most beloved! i do love when characters get put through the wringer to get to their hopeful ending though. Sometimes, things are tragic in a bittersweet way, and that is okay too
✴︎ — deeply nuanced, complicated, messy morally grey characters driving the narrative
I am open to tag games, but will probably only manage to respond to like 10% of them... it's not you, it's me
Always open for DMs or asks <3
I try to tag everything as well as I can, if i forget, ask to tag <3
If you're into TMA, I have a podcast/TMA blog @moth-song-archives; my rambling animals/shitposts/memes/other fandoms/... blog is @lirhin, and I have a dedicated art blog @siarvenart
a hopepunk dark fantasy story with creepy/horror elements set in another world; small scope that transitions into epic fantasy later on
Status: draft 6.5 completed at 141k; currently mini-beta round. First in a trilogy
✴︎ —1st, 2nd and 3rd person limited, present tense ✴︎ — hopepunk, sibling dynamics, dysfunctional family, power of kindness & love, platonic love, queer characters, queer-embracing worldbuilding, mental & physical trauma, light & dark, secrets, tragedy, lies, betrayal, loss of innocence, holding on & letting go, cute creatures, (in)humanity, trees, religion & belief, growing up, monsters, dreams, nightmares.
When Ava and her parents arrive at the hospital, they find her older brother Ben in a deeply unnatural coma - and nobody can tell them what happened. Despite the magical abilities of the Asim Healers, there seems to be no way to save him. But then, why do they still keep him alive? As Ava slowly learns the magnitude of how terrible Ben's situation (and impossible his future) truly are, she finds herself embroiled in a larger conflict, ready to hook its claws into her as well. And the one person she cares about most - who always had her back - is gone. So despite everything, there's only really one choice: Find out how to save him and try anyways.
the travel journal of a young scientist, documenting the cultures, places, people and creatures she encounters on the way (art/text)
Status: storyboard/script 2nd draft completed; beta feedback
✴︎ —1st person present ✴︎ — 66 double pages of art accompanied by ~10k text ✴︎ — hopepunk, (body) horror, religion & belief, nihilism vs making your own meaning, platonic love, queer characters, queer-embracing worldbuilding, transitioning with magical body horror means, mental & physical trauma, light & dark, deep worldbuilding, eldritch monsters, loss of innocence, SO MANY creatures
Features: a tidally locked planet orbited by 5 moons and populated by giant eldritch monsters; two trans aroace main characters; body horror; so much art; the most gratuitous worldbuilding project; character driven narrative
When the fifth moon hatches during Thorn's own naming ritual, making her one of 2 people who saw it happen, she knows she's been chosen. But back at home, nobody believes what she saw, choosing to instead take the moon's disappearance as a sign of celebration as it mirrors religious scriptures. So Thorn sets out to find physical proof, and uses the opportunity to document her travels. She doesn't know that her view of the world will be thoroughly challenged, but she also doesn't know about the friends she'll make <3
I have various other wips, some of them are linked in my header. I'll return to them at some point, but these 2 are my current projects for 2024:)
#if you wanna connect on cara please come visit :3#now that i have finished this thing i feel like i can finally actually interact on there lmao#about me#pinned post#writeblr intro#writeblr#idek what i am hoping to accomplish with this but anyway yes XD

Notes on Sweater Girls by Weston and Taylor
Yeah, so my neighbor and I went to the library together. And when I saw her check this out, I asked to also flip through it. When she handed it to me, she said she was disappointed. So of course, I was even more excited to look at it because I might get to be mean about it.
Hokay. So here's the thing. If you know anything about vintage knitting already, you know that you're looking at a lot of thin yarns and tiny needle sizes. So I'm not surprised that most of the patterns are for size 2 or 3 needles. Also not surprised that a decent percentage of the patterns also have a row or two of crochet for that finishing flourish. These are advanced patterns.
The photography is sometimes lovely and sometimes.... uh, I think they weren't ready to style the model to the right decade for the design. I have questions about some of the hair style choices. Most patterns are show both hanging and on a model.
Well, to be fair? I have questions about some of the pattern adjustments. Several of these tops come down onto the hips in a way that is very modern (nothing goes back to the flapper era, so we should see way more high waisted designs).
ALSO WHAT WERE THESE FATPHOBIC JERKS EVEN THINKING???? I swear to fucking christ some of the images almost look like they were edited to be more long and skinny. And the pattern sizing? I think the biggest pattern was designed for a 42 inch bust, and most of them aren't even that big. This was published in 2012. The vintage fashion movement was going strong, and there were already so many lovely plus-sized people who were active in it. Why the fuck would someone trying to make patterns for that crowd offer such limited sizing???? WHY DOES THE ONE SIZE FITS ALL ONLY GO UP TO 38 INCHES?????
Anyway, fuck you, authors. Don't buy this. Just go check archive.org or other archive sites for actual vintage patterns since most people are going to have to resize and adjust the patterns for them to look right.
And much love to my local library for having this book so I didn't have to waste my money to hate post.

hello, hello lovely!! i saw that your requests were open and i had to send in an ask!
what do you think about a college!au for the obey me! boys? i'm off to orientation tomorrow, so what about a meet cute with yandere!mammon where he meets his darling for the first time during orientation?
also, how have you been? it's been forever and half, only slightly because i'm still working through your asks (it's almost finished though, i promise you!)
Hello Hello Handsomeness! 💕🥰
Thank you for dropping by again, I always love seeing you! 💖
And are you kidding? I love the idea!
A small basic rundown of majors and why they decided to do what they do (This is off-the-cuff and may be subject to change):
Lucifer - Political Science as his Major and Public Administration as his Minor (In a Human!AU I still see Lucifer still as a person who strives to be at the top. Already born rich, this was kind of a given he was going to be doing this. Very diligent. (I know you see him as someone that becomes a Therapist, and I love it, but I personally see him more of a public servant who needs therapy))
Mammon - Accounting and Finance Major. (He really didn't want to pick anything, or even go to college- too much work- but Lucifer threatened him over it, so now here he is. Doesn't care that much whether things work out or not. )
Leviathan - Digital Art and Animation Major (Also doesn't want to be there, but has also been forced into picking something and go. Moderately good at keeping on track, mostly out of fear for any repercussions )
Satan - Archives and Archival Administration as a Major, Literary Arts as a Minor (For the love of Books 💗 Also has a few classes for Art Appreciation. Is Good with his grades because he likes what he's involved in )
Asmodeus - Fashion Design as a Major and Fashion Photography as a Minor (Because C'mon, it's Asmo. Has fabulous grades, Darling! ✨)
Beelzebub - Culinary Arts as a Major, Physical Therapy as a Minor (A lot of people think that Physical things would be Beel's best bet all things considered, but anything that gets him close to food works for him. (I base this on him getting the job in Hell's Kitchen in NB ) Physical Therapy is something that Beel is also interested in thanks to his years in Fangol and his friends that needed it. He works very hard.)
Belphegor - Law Degree (Belphie is an enigma. He can sleep and still absorb information (Somehow?? Even though he for sure is human here??) And he can destroy lives with a high-paying job he can also support Beel with. )
All of it is a rather win-win for him. He puts in no effort and he still gets good grades, it's kind of infuriating honestly (Even if I still have a soft-spot for him 💖)
And in Human!AU I see all the brothers around the same age (Either within a four year span or just one depending) for convenience sake.
For College!AU I see them all within the four year gap.)
Also, I'm doing pretty good myself, hard at work and having my head filled with Yandere thoughts, which is pretty good!
How have you been? I don't mind how long you take on that stuff, you take your time Sweetness <3
(I really forgot that I sent you more than one, so please take your time ;,; )
I hope you've been having a good time with college as it's starting and I hope you're having a good time with life 💖
Now, for your request!! (Forgive me if I get this wrong, for a multitude of reasons I might get this wrong T.T)
College!AU Yandere!Mammon x College!AU Reader
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
" You have your schedule Mammon, stay on track and don't just leave campus because you got the basic things done, you still need to check out your classes." Lucifer's lecture had Mammon yawning into his hand, shaking his head to clear it.
" Yeah Yeah, I got it. You gonna hassle everyone else with this stuff too?"
" When their time comes, yes, but this year it's just you and Levi. Try not to embarrass yourself." The Eldest of the brothers tapped the schedule again before turning, going to Levi whom was leaving his counselor's office, eyeing the exits.
Mammon glanced to it himself, I mean he could go out shopping with Goldie instead, but decided to save himself the hassle this time around and-
Out the exit he goes.
Heading towards the parking lot, he only gets to the sidewalk when he sees you.
You seemed to be running late to Orientation, a bag slung over your shoulder as you jogged to campus, your eyes on the prize, though a sinking pit in his stomach told him that he was not it as you looked to your bag for something, digging your hand in it as you tried to walk past him.
Almost on instinct he moves and your shoulder strikes his, nearly sending him spinning with you into opposite directions, as if a pair of pool balls that hit and bounced off each other and it's only by a small saving grace that he doesn't stumble.
" Sorry." Your response was distracted and automatic before you fully seemed to register him.
You had some absolutely stunning eyes, and Mammon couldn't help but feel even more smitten as apology registered in your face.
Don't apologize for meeting him, you both hadn't even properly greeted one another and he already felt like he was exceedingly lucky he hadn't left earlier and missed you.
" Ha! Ya don't gotta apologize, as if a little tap could hurt The Great Mammon! Ya runnin' late?" His voice was confident and boastful before ending in a tease for you as he placed a hand on his hip the other one holding the same piece of paper you were.
With that it clicked in his mind that you must be holding your own schedule, meaning you didn't wait until the last moment to properly get all of your things dialed in, and maybe he could reasonably hang out with you without seeming weird by hanging around the Counselor's office he had already been in.
" Yeah, I guess you're already done?" You also noticed his paper, along with him just outside the entrance to the college, and he tried to think as fast on his feet as he could.
" Psh, No, I was just... steppin' out for some fresh air." He waved a hand as if to shoo away the thought, sending you a small grin.
You didn't seem to believe what he said, however the grin that curled on your face showed that you were still rather charmed by that, " Oh?"
' Run with it, take the opportunity and don't let go. ' He told himself as he grinned, stepping a bit closer and turning so the two of you were side to side.
" Mhmm, But now that that's over I'm headin' back, ya wouldn't mind taggin' along with me, right? Come on, let's go!"
You joined his side hesitantly, intrigued but cautious as he decided to engage you in small talk, learning your name before properly introducing himself, showing off his classes and learning that he shared two classes with you!
Maybe this whole 'Going to College' thing wasn't going to be as horrible as he thought.
In fact, he was quite looking forward to it.
#Obey me Mammon#College!AU#Soft Yandere#Yandere Mammon x Reader#I hope the Nicknames are okay#I can change them or take them down if you want :3

[Warmest welcome, my friend.]
My name is Pyre, I am a 20 year old man, and I am a trainer to three beloved Pokémon: A Togekiss, a Mismagius, and a Sinistea. (Whom I will tell you more about later!)
I grew up in Unova in a small city down the tracks from Anville Town, but I spent the beginning years of my journey in Nacrene City where I did assistant work and research under Gym Leader Lenora!
I specialise in the study of anthropology, and more specifically the cultural anthropology of human/Pókemon relations. This means I am analysing the information we have as well as new information uncovered to build our understandings of how human and Pokémon have lived together, for the purpose of building a happier, healthier coexistence. Through this, I also have an interest in Pokémon psychology, and debunking certain myths and mindsets trainers can hold about Pokémon!
Expect many long rambles, as well as the occasional mention of my studies. I hope to connect with similarly minded and deeply passionate people.

About this Account
——————————
Hello!
For those confused or unfamiliar with Rotomblr, I am a part of a group of people that post as if they live within the world of Pokémon. This entire post is roleplay, but I understand it may be upsetting to those with difficulties ascertaining realities. If you struggle with unreality, I ask that you block this account or visit when you are more readily able.
If you are familiar with Rotomblr and/or you are part of the community, know that this is my first Pokémon IRL blog and I may make mistakes! I am here to have fun, but I always wish to remain respectful and help others have fun and feel comfortable within their spaces, so let me know if I’ve done something wrong!
I consider this to be more of a self-insert OC rather than a Faller Blog. In this account, I grew up in the Pokemon universe, only know the Pokemon universe, and interact with cannon events as if they were real occurrences. There will be no acknowledgment of the “real world” in this blog! I will also be avoiding OOC as much as possible.
——————————
Who can Interact?
——————————
So long as you are respectful towards others*, don’t have harmful content on your account*, and/or have an NSFW focused account*, you can interact! Trainers, Pokémon, Hybrids, AU, whoever may wish to!
*This excludes any bigots. I’m a gay man, and while I am white and not trans, I am BIPOC friendly as well as accepting and welcoming towards people of varying identities and expressions.
*I do not want any ED, SH, or generally harmful content in my feed.
*I’m an adult, but I recognise that Pokémon pulls in a younger fanbase. I want to keep this account PG13, so I am not going to be posting NSFW and would rather NSFW-focused accounts not interact!

About Me!
——————————
In real life, I am a 20 year old gay man with a fiancé (whom I love very much but I will not be talking about unless if he makes his own account!). I have no pets but I’d love a pigeon, I have an interest in cultural and medical anthropology, but I dive into pretty much any nerdy and scholarly topic you can think of. I am a bookseller and have been for going on four years now! My main account is @pyre-the-ren where it’s more of a run-of-the-mill eclectic account, but if you’d like to know more about me you can do so there.
——————————
Why Rotomblr?
——————————
I have had a lifelong love of Pokémon. Like many people, I found the world to be comforting, and I loved the idea of cohabitating with Pokemon in a (mostly) peaceful world. The music, the world building, the characters, and the Pokemon themselves… I hold a very dear spot for it all
A couple of year ago I found the Rotomblr tag, and ever since I’ve been causally scrolling and popping back in. I have grown quite warmly towards the community. When I started feeling much more isolated from others, I found myself being pulled even more, and I eventually made a blog! It’s a mixture of interest and wanting to connect with others. Escapism is a lovely tool.
Thank you to all that have read this far. I hope to meet you through my posting :]

Hii Do you have a fave Janeway out-of-uniform look?
Ohh this is such a hard choice! There are so many reasons I like her out of uniform-- A lot of the time it's because we get to see who she is behind the veil. That couldn't be more apparent than in Resolutions, she flirts, explores and relaxes while she struggles to maintain her identity. She has like, 5 costume changes in that episode, albeit modest in design, they are quite revealing in a sub-textual way. Funnily enough, I actually would like to catalogue each time she is out of uniform and break down how it relates to the narrative etc. I sometimes ponder about the choices that have been made with hair and costume. We don't actually know much besides a few articles and scattered pieces of media--Most behind the scene information is about set design, which in it's own right is cool, but sometimes feels like it’s highlighted due to the male audience and as a result the other artists aren't valued enough. In theory, I'd like to uplift them because their efforts transform the lack frontal, narrative-body of some characters- we consequently learn things such as the fashion of the era, character’s states of mind, setting, etc, simply through what they are wearing– Do I dislike that? No. Because I understand the format of Star Trek is limited by the nature of being a 24 episode per season show. Sometimes things appear rushed or incomplete but if you look in the right direction, the work that was produced is just as rich as most shows, if not more. For the most part don’t think audiences appreciate the conditions that this show was made under.
The whole show has certainly been more impactful on the cultural zeitgeist than others and I think the reason for that success goes beyond the surface level- It’s not just a simple miracle that it works as well as it does, talented teams of actors, writers and people in costume all combined their skills together to forge it. They did the best they could with what they were given, and I appreciate the costume designers and writers for attempting to provide some semblance of substance in the background. (On another note I wish Paramount had archived their costumes better. Evil that we only get high resolution photography when they're selling them to someone's private collection)
However, to answer your actual question, my favourite out of uniform stint is when Captain Janeway is modified to look like a Klingon in the Killing Game! The disguise worked so well for me that I didn't recognise her on my first watch through.
Interestingly in the brief scene with brainwashed Janeway, we see an acting side of Kate's that is pretty rare. She delivered a unique and entertaining performance. While she has had to get physical on a few occasions as Janeway, and even other roles, she has never had to go full feral mode and I love seeing her in a way that is untethered from all of herself, she yells, bares her teeth, barrels into others, and does somersaults without hesitation. It's delightful choreography, and It immediately makes us question what is going on. Who is this? Can’t possibly be our well-adjusted hero, because whoever this is, is brazenly-fierce and in Klingon attire! But yes we find out it is indeed her, arguably a repressed version of her mind but regardless Janeway is completely transformed both physically and mentally, and that’s shockingly fun.
Lending to that idea of fun, is the juxtaposingly detailed presentation of the Klingon costume versus the Starfleet uniform. I love the overall shapes, matte qualities contrasting with the metal details, the decorative line-work that leads the eye around, and materials such as swinging chains and fur, that make it look good in motion. From what I’ve seen there is a difference in the female and male armour, with the breast plating and bodice design. The armour’s bulky top half with its shoulder pads deliver a signature look, and it looks great against the simplified bottom. Considering Klingon’s do a lot of close combat, my guess is that it’s design is more about manoeuvrability, and boasting intimidation, rather than heavy defence. Ironically after all that ducking and dodging, ho ho Janeway gets stabbed for leaving her guard down. If I looked, I am sure I could find something to back that up, since Klingons have extremely dedicated lore.
The makeup on Janeway is really neat too, the orange tones they used on her face make her crystalline eye colour dramatically pop. There is also a delicious parallel to her styling and B'Elanna's mother from Barge of the Dead in the episode that I quietly indulge in BUT I DIGRESS.
Despite the unusual circumstances, I wish we had more photography done of Kate in the unique costumes she wore beyond a few on set pictures, because I want to ogle at a more editorial/detailed press presentation of each one and I believe that everyone should treasure all versions of Janeway.
Blah Blah Blahhhh haha
I feel a little vulnerable spreading my thoughts around but I really appreciate you asking me about them and getting me out of my shell <333.
#i have an interest in technical things because of my media background and i wish things were treated with a bit more care and respect#kate could wear a paper bag and it would look amazing and intentional#i love killing game so based for giving us unique wardrobe pieces#CRIES I love Janeway sm I just think she's neat tee hee#if you made it to the end of my rambling bless your heart#feel free to give me more questions it's fun to answer them#PENSIVE ignore the grammatical mistakes i actually have poor word comprehension / borderline dyslexia i can see ive left out words too#klingon janeway is such a little freak :3#shes so dreamy hehe like all klingon females kinda sexy tho

The Individuals
Another Chapter 2 post…
Straddling between seeing them as The Main & Lead Singers/Dancers of BTS, ‘Jikook’ or Jimin and Jung Kook
BTS have always been such a different experience for me in terms of being a fan. Not only do we have magazine interviews and music show interviews plus their music to give us an insight into them, we also have an array of other media. They didn’t win the ‘Top Social Artist Award’ for no reason, their twitter presence, their weverse presence, their V Lives showed us much about them to endear them to us. Shows such as Rookie King, Gayo, Run BTS, Bon Voyage, In The Soop etc I couldn’t help but watch them all.
Religiously watching any V lives I could catch, going back and watching archived ones, their Bangtan Bombs and episodes etc. has allowed me and millions of others to feel like we know the group and members we support.
Over the years through watching the BTS original content, I have come to recognise and appreciate that these two MEN (queerphobs exit left) have unique bond.
They have special bonds with each of their members, never sparing any from words of affection, hugs and caring looks, playful moments etc. it the ‘magic’ of BTS.
The closeness I personally see between Jimin and Jungkook over the years is a bond I find to be exclusive to them. A bond that encompasses that shared between the other members or confident, bestie, ‘soulmate’, mentor, playmate, work partner, Hyung/Dongsaeng etc. I see theirs to be all of the above and more exclusive to the two of them. Where variations of duos can claim one or more of the above Jikook in my eyes claim them all for the two of them.
If nothing else from all that I have seen, it’s undeniable that they are the closest duo of the group.
It’s very enjoyable as a third party seeing the sparkle in each others eyes when looking at each other, the small and big smiles reserved for the two, the innocent and not so innocent moments that won’t be found between any other combination with the same level of meaning, intensity and dare I say, love, behind it.
I enjoy them, I enjoy them enjoying each other and I see across many platforms others who also enjoy them too.
Saying that I also enjoy them as INDIVIDUALS.
I enjoy Jimin’s heart and mind, how he sees challenges, how he sees experiences, how he appreciates and embraces emotions and is articulate and delicate with his spoken and written word. I enjoy his strength of character but isn’t hardened by life, how he can be the funniest person in the room and can make others laugh in a second and laugh with and even at himself. How he can be smart and serious but also light, fun and goofy. His talent, how he can be book smart, word smart but also creative, use his body as art but is also artistically talented with a pencil and paper.
I enjoy Jungkook’s goofball humour, his playfulness with his Hyungs, his admiration of them, his self assuredness and stubbornness that his Hyungs have moaned about since day 1 but still serves him in the right circumstances. I enjoy his creative talents, drawing, filming, photography, his ear for music of all genres, his innocence, how he talks to insects, fish before he slices it up for lunch. I enjoy his no nonsense approach to his work, hearing anecdotes from the members about how he doesn’t fear scolding Hyungs who don’t take practice seriously. I enjoy his loyalty, his level of honesty. I could go on because each day they show us more and more to learn and love about them.
The above has given us an insight as to who these boys to men are. Their likes, their dislikes, their music tastes, their fashion tastes of that time. For as much footage we have of the members, what they said yesterday could be different tomorrow, they are individuals, capable or change, capable of learning, growing, of influencing and being influenced.
Since even before chapter 2 the members have always spoken of how different they were as individuals. They have always shared their amazement that 7 different men could create such a phenomenon together and STAY together throughout their ups and downs for years upon years.
They’ve never claimed to be the same, never claimed to always want the same things. The prevailing statement I’ve heard from them has been they sacrificed for the sake of the group.
Chapter 2 has been about no longer having to have that weight, in my opinion, about getting out everything they felt they weren’t able to say yes OR no to when 6 other members had to be considered.
The members are very aware that their solo work still represents, not just themselves, like one would ideally like, but still represents the group, that they made their name from. No matter how different their work is from the group they will always be ‘of BTS.’
Though it may be very late in the game, it occurred to me that I’m doing each member a disservice, in always looking past the individual and seeking to find the other members in their solo endeavours, especially Jimin and Jungkook because of my enjoyment of their duo. I gave some reasons earlier as to why I like them individually and why their duo draws my attention. I don’t need their coupling to like them individually because the lists for each still remain with or without their couple.
They’ve all worked, learned, practiced and grown alongside each other but their shared experiences over the past 10+ years, their undeniable bond and closeness doesn’t mean they don’t have individuality that shouldn’t be acknowledged and appreciated as such. They’ve all had hurts, struggles, highs and lows, some connected to each other and some separate of each other.
Though it’s my belief nothing between them has changed…
Enjoying them as they’ve intended for chapter 2 means to me, allowing them what they haven’t been given before, a chance to be them, on their terms, taking what they give us.

A proof-of-concept video for my hopefully recurring slideshows-with-music, using my recently received laptop and software (thanks, Mom).
Photos: Xer S. Rowan, Creative Commons Attribution license; Music: Slinky, by Mr. Smith, Creative Commons Attribution license, via Free Music Archive.
Photo slideshows set to music really appeal to me, especially when they're more like a stop-motion film (which this one is not). And it's a relatively quick and entertaining way to review a series of photos. The eventual goal is to post these slideshows on my (not yet existent) Free Media Repository, along with links to download the jpgs and raw files so that people can choose whichever one they want and have the option of processing it from the original file.
I'll need to learn a bit more before I can make a template or easily replicable style/formatting. Once I know what I'm doing, I'll be going through several years of backups. The folder I pulled at semi-random to make this test video from had a bunch of pigeon pics from an overcast November day, in Sacramento CA, 2021. So that's what you get. And Slinky (the music) was the first on the list when I set the search filters for the license type I needed.

I'm a disabled hobby photographer taking photos for the love of photography and sharing them under a free-to-use-as-long-as-I-am-properly-credited license. For more information about me, this project, and the license I use, visit linktr.ee/DoingItForTheExposure.

I never thought I’d be writing this, but after much reflection, it’s time for me to step away from the creative space—at least in a professional sense. It's bittersweet, and honestly, a little sad.
Tumblr has been the foundation of so much of what I was doing, especially from 2009 to around 2016. During those years, I poured everything into my projects, but in the end, most of them didn’t take off the way I’d hoped. The reality is, they lacked the momentum to become sustainable.
One of those projects was @untldsound . It still makes me smile when I think about how, two years ago, I filed an LLC for it, opened a bank account—and then… nothing. Life happened, plans fell through. Maybe something will come of it in the future, but who knows? Right now, I’m not sure what will happen with the content that exists there. I’ll try to publish what I can, archive the rest, and by late 2026, the page will likely be deactivated or gone entirely.
Helping people make music has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. But unfortunately, between unreliable clients, strained friendships, and financial limitations, I couldn’t keep the dream alive. Some of the artists I worked with are still going strong—like Mike Lawrence (formerly Whaleman) and Mazi Kabi. Shaun Green, aka Shizzymandias, still creates music from time to time, although it’s no longer his main focus. I’ve lost touch with our producer, Dreams/Deval Dreams, but I’m determined to get his work back onto platforms and into the world. I know he’ll find success. And to @goldpackpapi, aka Ryan Dobson, and all my UNTLD crew—I love you all. I hope one day, we can create together again.
As for this page, aside from managing acts around the Philly area, I also mixed and mastered music under the name @thedearlydepart . This page will stay up as a reminder of those times. While the name @thedearlydepart will live on, I’ll be transitioning most of my accounts to my personal name and email. The domain (www.thedearlydepart.com) is no longer active—someone else claimed it when I let it lapse—but I’ll be using its email service for a while longer. After that, it’ll disappear.
I had considered turning this handle into something more personal, and in some ways, it already was. But I think it’s time to let go of the moniker and start fresh. Over the next year, I’ll keep you updated on what happens with the content across my various platforms.
Then there’s @psocial-light, which I started in December 2009, a few months after my child was born. It was a lifestyle and photography brand that, unfortunately, never fully blossomed. Still, I stand by the work I did there—it was my first real project, my baby. After 15 years (with the last five being mostly inactive), it’s time to say goodbye. I still have the files, and I’ll never forget those times, even if @rawartistsla was a bit of a scam. It was still special, and I’m grateful to Jailon, Ryan, and @ziggy-wiggy for supporting me at my little photo stand, helping me pack up for the show.
At the end of the day, I wanted all these ventures to succeed, and I take full responsibility for them not reaching their potential. I didn’t have the business know-how to turn them into money-making ventures. I couldn’t get anyone on tour, secure major placements, or help these projects scale. I couldn’t make it as an artist, or even as one of the pieces making the machine run.
So, I’m giving up.
I don’t expect many people to see this or care, but for those who do, I’ll be posting updates about the transition process on each page. I expect this to take until late 2025 or early 2026, with the final shutdown happening around summer 2026.
If anyone is interested in acquiring rights to any of the content, feel free to reach out.

Just a thought. What would Philomina relationship with the trailblazers be like? Giving reference the baseball weilding racoons, March, Welt, Himiko, and the other guy who I forgot the name of. Also that one conductor with that big hat and long ears?
The other guy is Dan Heng and the Conductor is Pom Pom, if you need a reminder! :)
So to make it short, Philomina sees the Astral Express crew as comrades aiming for the same goal: a better understanding of the universe.
Individually, though, she has a varied relationship between them.
Philomina views the Trailblazer like how a babysitter would view a rowdy kid. She tries to make sure the Trailblazer is not causing trouble, but the raccoon always slips in between her grasp! Though Phil understands that she shouldn't limit the new generation's potential, she still feels very apprehensive. In the end, she very much trusts the Trailblazer enough to do good, even if whatever they do sort of concerns her, like sorting through trash. I suppose for their first meeting, Phil is suspicious of the Trailblazer due to their connection with the Stellaron Hunters. But eventually, she will learn to trust the Trailblazer going forth.
With Himeko, Phil respects her very much. It's not easy getting a run-down celestial train working and running. She presents Himeko as a role model for the younger members of the Starfield Voyagers. Himeko sees Phil as a comrade as well and sometimes asks her for advice on topics Himeko is unsure about. They both have a shared love for coffee! Phil has tried Himeko's home-brewed coffee before; Her life flashed before her eyes. 10/10, would try again!
Welt and Philomina would be more like close acquaintances than I think friends. There's not a lot interactions that I can think of between the two of them. Although, Welt's origin intrigues Phil. As of now, she can't interpret the memoria surrounding Welt, so Phil wants to get to know and understand him more.
Like Welt, March 7th alludes her. Phil can't interpret the memoria surrounding March 7th as well because it's very disorderly. March 7th's bubbly personality would contrast well with Philomina's calm demeanor. Sometimes, Phil would ask for March 7th's photography skills to use for one of her encyclopedias and pay her handsomely. March 7th views Phil as a rich auntie who's experience has far surpassed hers. I guess March 7th also asks for advice from Phil.
I think for Philomina and Dan Heng's relationship, it's akin to a mentor-mentee relationship. Both have access to and manage their space vessel's respective archives, adding new information for every planet they visit. Since Philomina has lived for far longer than Dan Heng, she'll provide him information of planets he has not yet visited.
Because Pom Pom and Philomina have known each other for a long time, they would bond over past memories, melancholic and blissful. Pom Pom is glad that despite the departures of many Nameless and the many good-byes he's experienced, Philomina is still there to act as a reminder of how important the connections with those Nameless are to him. And with Pom Pom, Phil has someone to confide in about the past. They are tragic characters comfortable with sharing their experience to each other, I'd say.
