#id love to bind it

[youjustwaitsunshine]

tell us your favorite everything changes chapters please

so I'll write just the chapters here, in chronological order and then put a longer explanation under a cut so i don't spoil anything. anyways, here's my top 10 (that i can currently think of) everything changes chapters/chapter collections!

Chapters 27/28: Frozen/Melted

Chapter 69: Roll of the Dice (part 2)

Chapter 73: Recognition

Chapters 97-100: Land of the Free, Home of the Brave (parts 1-4)

Chapters 170-173: Reality Oh There Goes Gravity/You Only Get One Shot/White Lines/It's Like A Jungle Sometimes

Chapter 191-193: The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky/Another New Year/Priorities

Chapter 224-227: Monaco Baby (parts 1-4)

Chapters 322-326: Avanti (Parte Prima - Cinque)

Chapters 434/435: Stars (parts 1&2)

Chapter 509: One

this took me rather long because i obviously read through all of those chapters again

Well, this one is rather obvious. The end of the slow burn. The kiss in the snow. Now that's a New Year. If (when) I print and bind everything changes, this would be where i end the first volume. The first year, the first arc, the first part done. I also deeply love the christmas chapters with sebs family right before, but this one is IT.

Spa in the rain, after the summer break where seb and mark got followed by paps, after so much shit in the press after they came out after monaco, and then that race. Dear god i said it before I'll say it again, georgia_k writes races like no other. I love the chapter before that one too, and i love sebs relationship with dan and lewis here

Honestly this one is just for that one scene in the restaurant, when the owner comes up to them and tells them he won't take their money because Seb will drive for ferrari one day and he can't let a ferrari driver pay. (due to the events after, seb won't remember this happening but i think georgia_k might, and i hope she calls back to it when ferrari seb comes back to monza in the new in-story year. will he remember? will it bring his memory of the accident back? I can't wait to find out but i trust georgia_k)

Sebs return to the track after Parabolica. This entire arc, starting with the crash, through the hospital (honorable mention chapter: La Bella Addormenata, another absolute favorite because damn the pain. reading through it for the first time with georgia pulling no punches. damn.) The part where Seb talks to Niki? goosebumps. I feel like the Parabolica arc starts with the crash and ends with Arabian Nights but this part (and the one where he drives again on track for the first time) is my favorite.

The return to Monza. again, the way lewis and dan are there for seb, again, the racing. Also points for the lyric titles.

Teddy. now these chapters make me ugly cry every time. i don't even want kids but damn. The way seb is finally, finally completely free of heikki, nothing in their way anymore and then kacey happens (please georgia_k how is she. can you give her a little cameo. put her in a flower shop. she deserves happiness.)(fr georgia named henry after the little town next to monaco as explained in the authors notes and then came back to it like 100 chapters later when she had seb smile at the road sign without even mentioning the name. tell me about kacey.) and seb is so dejected and then teddy is there and it's perfect. god i cried buckets.

theres a bit of a pattern of me loving georgia_ks wet races, this one isn't different. I'm just a sucker for the race chapters.

THE MOVE TO FERRARI i can not WAIT, sebs year of parental time is Over (almost, i expect a teddys birthday/new year chapter and then) WE RACE AGAIN honestly, horner at ferrari feels so cursed but if georgia_k gives seb a championship with ferrari all is forgiven. even if not, i know she's a good writer. Just dont forget about restaurant dude.

Sorry to matilda, but the chapters where they get her just don't have the same impact as teddys, they were preparing, seb left early and it hurt a lot but it was worth it. Stars though. I love them growing into their role as parents, I love Teddy as a character (you can tell georgia_k works with kids because she writes him PERFECTLY for his age), i love the domesticity.

We say goodbye to Rachel, who's been such a great character all throughout. Maybe we'll run into her again? This feels like the end of the adoption story era, and the beginning of the ferrari seb era (hopefully. georgia_k do you hear me?) i love how much teddy's grown up, how you can't really see it chapter by chapter but when you skip read through your favorites again, it's so obvious. The kods have gotten so big and I can't wait what happens with them next, I was so fucking scared for them when they were really little because Georgia_k does not hesitate, but now we're ready for the future and if anything happens to the kids i will fight georgia_k.

also, here my favorite quote (chapter 59; Swimming Against The Tide):

As he approached the first of the cars that had gone past him, the forefront of Seb's mind was concentrating on operating the car and calculating what was coming up, but a small part of Sebastian's mind drifted to recall a quote he knew only too well.

“If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver.”

He even heard it in a Brazilian accent in his head.

Sebastian smiled inside his helmet. He could see a gap. He was still a racing driver.

Bookbinding of A Wizard's Devotional by @polymathema, March-July 2023.

A Wizard’s Devotional (Fantastic Beasts, Percival Graves x Credence Barebone) is about recovery from depression, some magic politics drama, and the complex experience of navigating whether and how to practice Christianity as a queer person especially if your religion was weaponized against you. Fics about Credence often touch on this, but most of the time religion is either mentioned extremely briefly or the character immediately and aggressively rejects his religious background. Those choices are good interpretive options that have their place. However, AWD leans in to a space where many queer Christians find themselves as young adults. I appreciate polymathema's compassion for this character and the many contradictions between his upbringing and experiences. I also recommend this work for gay yearning and nuanced approach to characters dealing with depression.

— About this project under the cut

I’m very excited to show off this binding now that I have mailed a copy to the author! Huge shoutout to polymathema for answering my questions, he was very nice when I (a random internet stranger) asked him stuff about a fic from years ago.

This binding one of a nearly identical pair I made, and part of my ongoing project where I plan to make four matching bindings of my favorite fics from the Fantastic Beasts fandom. My personal copy is pretty much the same except for the spine decorations. I’ll post more photos when the set of four is done! To be clear this is the copy I mailed to polymathema; whenever I make a ficbinding, I try to contact the author and offer to make them a copy as well.

Can you even imagine my delight when I found obscurus lookin fabric!! The resale store had a lot of colors but for this particular piece I wanted the codex (physical book; the actual “book” is the text) to look somewhat like a religious text considering its themes, so I went for the subtler, not quite subdued navy as opposed to a brighter blue or purple option.

Materials: Textblock is archival paper, laser printed text, scrapbooking cardstock endpapers, with linen and beeswax stitching, reinforced with cotton cheesecloth as mull. Sewn endbands are cotton embroidery floss. Covers are Italian rayon bookcloth (spine) and hand-dyed cotton batik backed with handmade wood pulp paper (ink-like cover pattern). Cover lettering is machine-cut metallic heat transfer vinyl. The case is constructed of archival bookboard, handmade wood-paper, cotton rag paper, and PVA craft glue.

reblog this is you're okay with people making a physical book(s) of your fic, but you're not okay with people selling said physical book(s)

Rereading ttwdfga and ngl this scene is cute. I picture it in my head and I'm like. I wish it was drawn I think it'd be cute

my newly developed favorite pastime is downloading my favorite fics off ao3, making penguin publishing house covers for them, and hoarding them in my iBooks library like a funky little dragon

JJK Chapter 65. The backstory is starting it seems. Only a few pages in so let's do some more predictions.

[throughpatchesofviolet]

I did sort Heathcliff's IDs and E.G.O based on how frequently I think about them, yesterday, so here's that tier list! I love all Heathcliffs, of course, but I think about some more than others.

look at my boys..... everyone look at my boys right NOW.

sometimes i think about how we don’t actually use the hobbit characters real names (and probably more i haven’t done much of a deep dive),, like bilbo’s real name is bilba, we know this, it’s canon, we just call him the fake translation bilbo bc we see that version used throughout the books, ive seen one or two people in fic make their real names their real names in a fake “hobbitish” language and then have their fake names be “westron”-ized outer name versions like the dwarves do, which is a wonderful way to squeeze it in, but it’s a bit weird we never just use their real names, like yeah tolkien was basing it off of the translation style of his time, but it’s also a bit of a translation faux pas nowadays, so theoretically we should be using their real names if we’re in keeping with the evolution of translation standards, which is a very fun way of looking at it, a bit tempted to do some thorough research and make an “updated translation” version of the books, which is wholly unnecessary and no more than a fun novelty item type of thing, but it feels like the exact sort of nonsense tolkien would love, the main things that would change besides names would likely be some turns of phrase or minor words and proper nouns and such

i want to bind my favorite fics into books so bad but i feel like i dont really have the resources to make them as beautiful as they deserve to be :(

[incognetomisquito]

(Anyone know a good option for printing the pages? Bc i have a feeling theres smth fancy to print comic pages)

I remember you got some asks about binding your comics and I thought it would be fun to draw out some cover ideas. Would you accept these as cover variants?

Oh these are lovely:3

[my-thoughts-and-junk]

i cannot emphasize how much i do not care about actual like. romance but one of my most recent daydreams at work is imagining a man who would propose to me (at work) (i do not know this man) purely because he thinks i could make cute children. i think about this often while trying to figure out what fucking guy would do that
