Is Rebecca Sugar aware of your SU AU?

I think she's probably a tad too busy to be reading random AUs. Though if they DID read it, I'd be flattered, of course.

How it feels to not like timebomb after s2

[rosehipandroots]

no wait listen we're gonna talk about how sky and wild are parallel characters with parallel adventures. listen! who had to explore a ruined, unfamiliar world in search of something specific after a devastating catastrophe? who's zeldas are the closest to the goddess? who are the ones closest to the master sword? who are the ones who had to fight a demon king who'd ascended with god-like power? who are the ones who's zeldas traversed through time and left them chasing after her? who are the ones that were too late? who are the ones rebuilding civilization? who are the ones paralled again and again by falling and reaching but never making it? why do you think skyward sword's ruins are so prevalent in botw?

it's the cycle. it's always the cycle. sky is the beginning and wild is the end and sometimes the beginning and the end are the same thing. hyrule fell before sky and rose again with him. hyrule fell before wild and rose again with him. they are the opposite and the same, so close to each other yet never touching. they are so, so much more similar than they will ever know.

kitty colony au anybody?

[pestopastaenjoyer]

anyways. au but not rlly au where it’s late 1940s-early 1950s venice and nico is a university student studying literature. he lives with his single mother maria + his engaged sister bianca and he has an objectively good and cushy life for post-ww2 europe even if his family is desperate to set him up with someone like they did w bianca. he starts having weird dreams about living a life he surely hasn’t experienced and the number 1,995 keeps on recurring day-to-day. as it turns out this is our nico placed on an alternate theoretical timeline by a malevolent being (nyx strikes back perhaps) who erased his memories SoN-style. he’s aided by a plucky girl in one of his classes who may or may not be hemera (goddess of the day, nyx’s daughter who is not on good terms w mommy) and together they try to get nico back to his own place on the timeline

Tim's hair is kinda like koalas's fur. it looks soft and cute and everyone wants to pet it, but once you touch it, it's Crunchy™.

Too much gel and forgetting to wash his hair

Not to hate on the new series but I am so fucking sick of teenage Peter Parker omfg, can we get someone else, can we please get something else. If you really wanted ANOTHER teenage Spider-Man series, um, Miles Morales is right the fuck there, like it doesn't even have to be Spiderverse Miles specifically but cmon on💀

Like it's so funny to me that this was supposed to be a prequel to MCU Spiderman but they realized it'd be boring as shit cus bro had nothing going on and they couldn't even use his villain roster (not even half, ALL of it) cause those characters didn't exist in the MCU

Having Tenma Tsukasa as a favourite character and making every available characters fall in love with him has got to be a package deal, I don't even know why. He's just way too powerful

World Future Star, I hope you explode into a fiery demise <3

@hylianengineer sorry I had to make a new post, the answer got too long for replies :D

Ah, the dreaded "but wool is itchy!". Not something I can relate to (I really like it when yarn/fabric has a bit of grip and structure to it, I'm not one for the ultra-soft, fluffy wools) but let's see if I can say smth useful.

First, you're definitely not alone in finding wool scratchy! A lot of people have sensory issues regarding it. Whether it can be helped at all will depend on how sensitive you are; some people can't even handle unspun 17 mic chubut merino and at that point, wool just isn't for them. Which is fine, not everything is for everyone.

Rule of thumb: the higher quality your fibre, the softer the finished garment will be. If it's just listed as "wool", it might contain recycled fibre, wool from sheep breeds that don't have a super fine fleece, or even wool from dead animals, all of which lowers the quality.

Virgin wool (I think) refers to wool that is spun for the first time, so a yarn that has no recycled fibres in it. Lambswool is a sheep's first wool. It is finer and smoother than adult wool.

Another big impact is breed of sheep and origin of the fibre. Merinos are the go-to for high quality items, but are also kept all over the world, so look to where your wool comes from. Aotearoa and South America are well known for their high quality merino wools. Sheep that live in colder, harsher climates produce a sturdy, tougher fleece, especially if they're not merino breeds. Depending on where you are, regional wool might not be what you're looking for. Britain is famous for their wool, but Shetland wool won't be super soft. Try some BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) if you can get it; it is smoother than merino and not as springy.

Wool can be superwash treated by coating the individual fibres, so the scales on the hairs are covered. This means it won't felt and can be machine washed; it also makes it less scratchy. This process is very energy- and water-intensive. The fibres are coated in silicone, I think, which makes the finished yarn feel kinda plastic-y, and it also lowers the insulating and water-repelling qualities of the wool. (All in all, you might as well buy acrylic)

You can also try looking for sheep's wool mixed with other animal fibres. Cashmere, alpaca, and mohair are probably the most common and all have their own qualities (cashmere is shiny and drapey; alpaca is smooth and kind of dense; mohair is light, extremely fluffy and super warm). All are softer than sheep's wool and nicer to the skin.

Anyway, all that to say: Look for virgin wool, look at the breed you're getting if it's specified, look for mixes with softer fibres, look at the origin of the wool. Unfortunately, when you're sensitive, navigating the world of natural fibres can be a bit of a minefield, I know. If wool isn't for you, that's not a moral failing!

My personal belief is that, in life, you have to be super into something that's incredibly popular and most people love, but you also need to be super into something really obscure that only like 10 people have ever heard of. You need that balance

[communistkenobi]

do not want to start a fight but isn’t this totally normal. in middle school you’re like what 11 years old? I didn’t know any of this shit at that age and that has not made my life difficult as an adult even remotely. in particular I was shit at touch typing and remember being miserable in class because I was horrible at it and now I’m perfectly comfortable touch typing because I’m no longer 11 years old. I’ve taught several semesters of upper year undergraduates (meaning all of them were over the age of 21-22) in a similar coding/technical class setting who didn’t know anything about windows file structures and it was fine, they didn't blow up their computers or bring about the downfall of civilisation, they eventually picked it up over the 12 weeks of the semester because that’s how learning works

I don’t mean to offend but does being pregnant make you feel dysphoric in any way?

No worries, Anon!

I’ve felt a lot of things but I don’t think dysphoric has been one of them lol Honestly I can’t say I’ve felt any dysphoria throughout this whole thing so I’m taking that as a win >:D

i think with how pomni is shown to dissociate that it is easily assumed that its always a big deal but frankly she probably spends a lot of time at least a little out of it and i also wonder if she gets like. hyperaware of this
