#iris dye

I don't know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

Current sample sheets and a couple pics of the liquid i've been using as watercolor, all extracted from purple iris or common violet in slightly different ways, and pH altered to give different colors due to anthocyanins (which i have been reading a bunch about and they ended up being a lot more complex than expected, and deserve their own text-heavy post, this is merely a pretty pictures post to prove i'm alive)

I love your Iris and Dahlia concepts for your ace avian au! But I have one question. How does Phoenix not notice "Dahlia's" wing colour change? Does Iris tell him a bad excuse he accepts because he's too much of a simp to question her? Does she temporary dye her wings to match Dahlia's or do you have another idea?

i think i explained this briefly in the og post, but I'll expand on it a bit here!~~

While there are ways of getting feathers to a (close to) pure white color, it is difficult. (i.e. bleach turns them golden). The Hawthornes assumed getting the necklace back would be quick, so Iris deemed it unnecessary to go through the trouble. (oh how they were mistaken)

Instead, she paints her feathers. I imagine with a spray paint, similar to ones that exist for hair. The paint washes away in water and has a noticable texture (for the sake of this world though, it's unnoticable just via eyesight).

(Bit of worldbuilding for context:) Touching/grooming someone's wings shows a strong bond. (This can be platonic, familial, or romantic.) However, for romantic partners, it's usually considered more intimate than something like kissing. Iris ofc doesn't want Phoenix to know she's been painting her feathers. (Phoenix is a boundary respecting king) (pls pretend i drew the necklace i forgor >.<)

Phoenix trusts her completely. The guilt Iris feels over the deceipt and inability to reciprocate leads her to always wear gloves when touching his wings.

Maybe he does eventually touch her wings near the end of it all, if only by accident, even. Maybe he brings it up with her, and she makes up some excuse about "I thought you'd think less of me if you knew my natural color". (he ofc says he wouldn't care). Phoenix never gets to see her real wing color though, before everything with Doug Swallow...

(And maybe, as Dahlia is carted off to prison, Phoenix brushes her wingtip, but he doesn't feel the paint..)

Percabeth after the first war, who haven’t really gotten to be teenagers, who feel both too old and too young for their skin. Who are so so glad that the war is over, but also feel surprisingly lost, because fighting the war has been their future, their purpose, their job for as long as they can really remember

Annabeth and Percy, who do what all adrift teens do when everything is overwhelming and painful and exciting and when it feels like you don’t have a purpose any more:

they make a bucket list.

it starts small. They go clothes shopping together, close enough to Sally’s house that they can get home quick if they need too. They start to develop their own senses of style. They go to a farmers market. They make graffiti at one point and nearly get caught but the entire time they’re giggling through their fingers.

then comes the hair.

it was just a random item on the bucket list: hair dye.

and they were going to get crazy colors, Percy was going to dye his bright teal blue, no hesitation. He was decided. But then they’re standing in the shopping aisle, looking at the colorful boxes, and Percy’s eyes catch on a model, and they have long dark hair that’s just the same shade as Annabeth’s.

and he scans the aisle, and there’s another one, a bright sandy gold, and he turns to Annabeth, who is debating between silver and purple with all the intensity of a teenage war veteran, and says “I have a stupid idea”

they grab a boxed bleach on their way out.

they dye their hair together, and it’s a mess and the dye gets everywhere and it’s not quite even and both of them get a little light headed from the fumes but it’s so much fun

and they refuse to let anyone in the bathroom until their hair is dyed, rinsed and blow dried even though it takes forever because bleaching is a much longer process

when they finally emerge, Sally gasps and then starts to laugh and then Paul joins in and then they’re all laughing.

Percy’s hair is black, Annabeth’s hair is blond.

They’ve switched hair colors. And it’s silly, but it’s also a constant reminder that they’re not alone.

It’s being able to wake up from a nightmare and seeing blond hair on your pillow instead of black and thinking “Percy”. It’s having a bad day where you can’t seem to keep your mind from slipping away from you, then seeing black hair in the corner of your vision and thinking “Annabeth”. It’s a tangible sign that they are connected, that they are alive, and that there is someone who understands. A physical reminder of love.

When their roots grow out, they look at their inverted hair and smile. Like always, they match.

So, do we think the Hawthorne twins are completely identical except for their hair color or do we think one of them dyes it?

Day 18: Swap

Although I thought about doing an universe swap with Alyssa/Charlotte and Maggie/Irina (basically a demon/human AU), I simply decided to do a hair swap for Mag and Iri because I've been kinda busy just taking care of myself :] I really really liked how this one turned out!!

That last dye didn't work, so this shit better set or I'ma be pissed.

[1dont-really-know]

I may have bought too much fabric for the plushies I'm working on but that just means I can make more of them than I originally planned

Glamour Plate 1: Ishgardian Gown

My very first glamour plate! I clearly didn't have anything to put on my hands or head, but I kind of liked how the gauntlets looked with the dress. I also don't think I had anything on my legs or feet 😅 So basically, this plate was:

Body: Ishgardian Gown, Iris Purple Dye

And otherwise, my level 80 Paladin armor was showing.

I learned that /gpose existed while I was trying and failing to take in-game shots, so that's what I used for the first and last picture in this post, but I didn't really know what I was doing, so there are no lighting effects or anything.

I originally made this plate on August 12, 2023. These screenshots were taken August 27, 2023 in FFXIV. All of them have been cropped, and any UI elements have been blurred. They are otherwise unedited. The game is very pretty!

Random LF thoughts

Is it implied Johnny and Mhari got it on in book 8 or did I imagine that

how did pinky and brains make the perfectly preserved stone pigeons instead of ones that explode? Was it a joke?

When Cassie’s all “if you were the sort of man who found it easy to do something like that (rip a guy’s throat out and guzzle up his blood and life) do you think I’d bother with you” it doesn’t say that she aggressively kisses Alex and says the line with gobbets of gore smeared across her own face, but in my heart I know she did

The Delirium Brief wasn’t a favourite (though it had its moments) but it got me into The Sisters of Mercy so bravo Stross for that

I get why people were mad at Mo in TAS with the officer friendly stuff but it’s a lot easier to swallow if you’ve recently read TJM and saw how Bob got with Ramona

Speaking of The Jennifer Morgue, Stross treated the poor Cthonians way better than Lumley ever did

Day 20: Pitch Bible AU

I had a lot of fun with this :)

[Quotes from the pitch bible and personal headcanons are below the cut.]

Pitch!Danny

"The kid with the nerdy, freaky parents. The kid who's afraid of his own shadow."

"Shy, quiet, stumbling and nervous - but always with a smile and a wink to his friends and the camera."

(Page 7)

Danny's death mark looks more like a burn scar rather than Lichtenberg figures. Everyone assumes he was in a fire whenever the trio talks about the Accident. The Fentons back this up since the true events cause an electrical fire in the lab.

He was only bullied about his scars once. Danny burst out crying on the spot, and no one has said anything since. He carries around a homemade balm to soothe the scars when he gets phantom pains.

His death mark extends into his hair and one of his eyes. He now has heterochromia as both Danny and Phantom, as the affected eye's iris was darkened, and a starburst pattern appeared. (inspired by this)

His overall eyesight was also affected, and he now wears reading glasses as a human. Danny frequently loses them, so his friends bought him a used eyeglass chain from a yard sale. The eyeglass chain is made of rainbow beads, and the spirit of the previous owner is attached to it.

Danny took up knitting soon after the Accident to help retrain his fine motor skills and concentration. He's quite good at it, and he made a sweater based on Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Frequently has ectoplasm stains on his clothes from either ghost fights or helping his parents in their lab. Most people think it's paint.

Phantom is invisible to most people (including himself when he looks in mortal mirrors.) He keeps it that way as much as possible, as his appearance is quite inhuman. Danny hates the uncanny valley feeling he causes wherever he goes. Even his friends had to work to get past the instinct to run when he showed himself. He has no pupils, but his death mark remains.

Pitch!Tucker

"Tucker uses the gadgets that Danny has gotten for him by raiding Mom and Dad's lab: The goggles that let him see ghosts, the backpack that lets him capture them, and the occasional random jet back that Dad was saving for a rainy day."

(Page 17)

Tallest of the trio, even with Sam's boots giving her an inch. Took track and field in middle school, so he's also the most physically fit, even if it's just by a little. Tucker is also the most reckless of the three and carries a first aid kit around for both him and Danny.

Bit of an adrenaline junkie, even if he won't admit it. Red Bull is his go-to over coffee and tea, which both Sam and Danny insist is bad for him. He's always hungry from sharing his meals with Danny, who cannot cook at home.

Tucker was forced to stop wearing his hats in middle school, but he hated his hair at the time, so he dyed it blonde and fried it straight to 'fit in better.' Sam and Danny have yelled at him for it, and he's slowly learning to appreciate his natural hair. (He still wants to keep dying it for a few more years, however. Red is the next color on his list!)

Takes dual courses at the Amity Park Community College in computer science. Became a top student quickly. He uses this knowledge to help Danny tinker with his parents' inventions and computers. (Which is difficult, given their backgrounds.)

Has a form of synesthesia called 'chromesthesia,' which means he sees colors and patterns when he hears sounds. His favorite color pattern is the sound of leaves rustling in autumn since it makes pretty yellow, orange, and red swirls. He turns the most memorable sounds into tie-dye t-shirts.

Tucker uses his 'liberated' Fenton tech all the time. Aside from ghost fights, he will 100% use the jetpack to get to school when he's late or use an extendable arm to hold a drink when he's busy. It drives Danny nuts because he has to recharge the backpack more, but when it comes down to it, he doesn't really mind. After all, Tucker is the one jailbreaking all their equipment.

Pitch!Sam

"A Goth Janeane Garofalo-type that hides her good looks behind baggy clothes, she is an encyclopedia of conspiracy theories and paranormal activity…a cute girl who loves all things geek!"

(Page 17)

Sam is the most serious of the three and is suspicious of everything. Her parents raised her as a rich elite; nothing comes for free in that type of life. She practically lives in the secondary suite that belonged to her grandmother Ida, tending to the greenhouse and library there.

Her favorite color is purple, and she raises Purple Emperor butterflies in the greenhouse in an attempt to increase their population, despite her location. She raises other butterflies and insects as well, but the Purple Emperors are her pride and joy. She wears purple butterfly charms in honor of them.

She has a bigger library than the high school, with books on topics Danny and Tucker have never heard of. During a ghost-induced power outage, they went to Sam and her library to perform an "ancient form of Googling." She did not appreciate that joke.

Cuts and dyes her hair herself, and bothers the boys about proper self care. She even has a little notebook in her pocket that lists reminders, dates, and observations she wants to look back on later. (For example, it reminds her when Danny is supposed to take his medicine, since his memory sucks now.)

Sam researches the paranormal almost obsessively, especially since she gains that psychic link with Danny. She wants to understand it, how it works, and why it happened. (She isn’t aware the ‘get better’ kiss was the cause.)

The random feelings and visions have increased her anxiety tenfold. Tucker jokes that she’s Batman now, since Sam has used her money to create a hundred different backup plans for everything she could think of, including hidden emergency packs all over town.

Once curb-stomped a grown man, as a child, on the day of Grandma Ida’s funeral because he was bragging about influencing the final will in his favor. She brings this energy to any fight she’s capable of participating in, and ghosts have learned to give her a wide berth. Locals just think she’s nuts.
