#pocketless

[etirabys]

psa to all who practice:

don't forget about the cute but insubstantial jackets in the back of your closet that are only feasible to wear in April and May

[fishfingersandscarves]

made a pocket

Bring me the head of whoever thought it would be funny if they stopped putting pockets on women's clothing

[themirokai]

I’m sorry if I am insane today. I am wearing a dress without pockets, you see, and that is not a Natural Human Condition.

Boycott clothing that doesn't have pockets. Every pocketless garment is an insult to a cool rock you haven't met yet.

Finally, the White Rat costume writeup

@tam--lin and I went to the CT RenFaire as White Rat and Saint of Steel characters, as you may have seen earlier

(more pictures and general commentary below)

I finished at the last minute due to about equal parts Tradition, Probably!ADHD, and Attempting to Use a Reconstructing History Pattern.

Don't use Reconstructing History patterns, kids.

In my defense I bought it 10+ years ago before I knew better and hadn't actually tried it out yet.

After a lot of printing and taping and several mockups and a hefty scoop of swearing, I scrapped that idea and made a dress out of rectangles and triangles instead.

(shift: lightweight white linen from The Stash, probably either from fabrics-store.com or graylinelinen.com; dress: midweight brown linen from fabrics-store in "Shitake," lined with more of the white linen)

If you are following along at home and would also like to make a dress out of rectangles and triangles, and you are not running on 20 years of "I know what I'm about, son," I would recommend The Medieval Tailor's Assistant by Sarah Thursfield and Morgan Donner's blog and YouTube.

The tabard is loosely adapted from a Tudor kirtle pattern in The Stash, which was lightly modified from a pattern in The Tudor Tailor, because I knew the armholes would work and I didn't want to fuss with armholes more than absolutely necessary. It laces up the side above the waist to keep everything in place.

(tabard and cape: more fabrics-store linen in "Asphalt")

The cape and hood are based on Lea Wittie/Lady Aíbell ingen Dairmata's cape tutorial, separated, and shortened for convenience. The cape ties at the neck and the hood closes with hooks and eyes. At some point which is not now I may tinker with the capelet on the hood to make it tuck under the tabard. I cut it very short so you could still see the sigil but now it has a tendency to leave an Awkward Gap.

For the sigil, I borrowed @magpiemalarkey's excellent White Rat artwork. The rat and halo are appliques, and I embroidered the rest of the details on top by tracing the art onto wash-away stabilizer and using that as a pattern.

Finally, I slapped together a belt pouch at the last minute from (stash) fabric, a (stash) button, and a hair tie, using Butterick 5371 (adequate, but maybe not how I would have done it if I hadn't been doing it the night before). I'm used to costumes with a full skirt and tie-on pockets and realized that this would in fact be a pocketless costume the night before.

The whole costume holds up nicely to several hours of riding in the car and a day of schlepping around outdoors, and it's super comfy. 10/10 would White Rat again, except next time we should bring explanatory business cards because nobody can guess this costume on sight.

Warmth

With aaron, you find warmth in even the coldest moments.

Pure fluff. Established relationship, FORBIDDEN love with bau!reader. Team is investigating a case in 🇨🇦 OH CANADA 🇨🇦 where it’s freezing, just reader and aaron sneaking around and being cute.

You were going to cross Canada off your travel list the minute you got home.

The crime scene was located at the base of one of the most popular mountains in the country. A total tourist nightmare located in a rather small town. Luckily for the team, the heavy snow plaguing the week prevented too many people from visiting the attraction. Unluckily for you guys, the thick snow also meant that no vehicles were able to travel on the small road, all due to the risk of getting stuck or breaking down and blocking the already complex road.

The team, along with a couple local police officers, had been walking for no more than ten minutes. But your lack of winter boots mixed with the harsh wind threatening to blow off your ears made it seem like you had been walking for hours.

That, and combined with your slightly weak stamina, left you trailing behind the rest of the team.

Having to lift your heavy legs with more strength than you currently possessed and having to fight against a million tiny snowflakes, you were beginning to sway and stumble. You brought your hands up to your mouth, huffing a long breath of warm air onto your frozen fingers.

“Cold?”

You perked up at the voice, rolling your eyes at aaron’s teasing expression.

“Absolutely freezing,” you answered. He looked down at his feet and chuckled at your response, but his smile slowly began to fade at the sight of your chattering teeth and shaking arms.

You silently cursed at having only brought your thin, pocketless jacket, as your only option to being somewhat warm was to pull the sleeves down as far as it could go to cover your hands.

So concentrated with your doomed task, you failed to noticed that aaron, who had been in front of the group at the beginning of the hike, had slowed down and was now in the back of the pack, with you.

“Here.”

You didn’t have time to register his words. Or rather, the cold had an effect on your reaction time. But it didn’t matter— all that mattered, and all that you felt, was his warm hand reaching down to grab yours, promptly stuffing your interwined hands into his coat’s pocket. You gasped lightly, both at the sudden action and at the immediate relief you felt in your half-frozen hand.

“aaron…” you whispered. You pointed your chin at the rest of the team walking in front, giving him a look of wariness as you tried to pull your hand back. In response, aaron simply pulled your entire body closer by tugging on your captured arm, his large palm further encapsulating your hand as he rubbed gentle circles with his thumb.

“It’s alright,” he hushed.

You huffed, “They’re going to see-“

“It’s alright.”

He looked down at you with raised brows, eyes soft and smile wide. You sighed as you shook your head, happily accepting your fate. You couldn’t help but smile at the sight of his red nose and ears, and at the absurdity of this whole situation.

For a brief moment, you and aaron weren’t walking towards a gruesome crime scene. You weren’t coworkers with a strict fraternization policy, and you weren’t secretly holding hands to avoid unwanted scrutiny. You two weren’t anything important, anything or anyone important at all.

You were just two people taking a scroll, hearts filled, hands warm, and cloudy breaths mingling together under the falling snow.

A/n: I mainly wanted to write this bc:

#1 I am obsessed with the idea of bau!reader secretly dating hotch and having to subtly show their affection

#2 bc I could not be more excited for winter and the holidays, and last but not least

#3 #canadianpridebaby

Hey so I just wanted to ask since I know that you're a Hu!Culprit theorist, where do you exactly think Hu could've hidden the tape on her? I ask that because even if Eden, say, gave Hu the roll of tape while they were cleaning up in the kitchen and it turned 10 PM, she still would've had to walk with it in her hand with no knowledge of if someone else was on that floor or not, and if someone was on that floor, have to come up with a reason as for why she just had tape in her possession. That feels like a very risky move from Hu especially since the tape would be able to be seen on the carousel, and whoever would see her with the tape that night would immediately go "hey wait a fucking minute." But it all could be avoided if she had somewhere to store it on her And this factor is why I believe that Ace!Culprit and Eden!Culprit are more probable than her, even if the both of them would've had to hide the tape for longer. Ace can store the tape in his pants pocket, it'd be a bit inconvenient given his at that time current situation of profusely bleeding from his neck, but it could work. And Eden is even more equipped with those pouches on her belt that are absolutely big enough to store a roll of tape for a good amount of time Hu? My girl is literally pocketless. Me when I'm trying to commit a murder but womens clothing design choices are actively fistfighting me. There is basically nowhere she could've stored the tape on her

So in this situation and in terms of the overall crime, do you think there's anywhere Hu could've stored the tape on her?

Well I don't see why she'd have to wear it on her person though

For me I do think Ace was the one to take it but ended up throwing it away in the trash (he's known to just yoink stuff from people and also he definitely had thoughts of trying to kill Nico).

So I think Hu ended up noticing the grip tape in the garbage and ended up putting it in her room for later use. I don't think the culprit would walk around with decisive evidence in their pockets (or lack thereof) if the murder will be primarly set up at night when no one is looking.

Also I don't think Hu needs pockets to hide potential evidence, mainly because her new design has a lot of overlapping cloth which I think could make it possible for her to hide stuff in.

Like this place specifically, so while I don't think she had the tape on her person I do think even then Hu could've still gotten the tape and hidden it if she did.
