Getting to know people

Based on @acetrigunweek day 3's quote

Knitting a freehand bag and started wondering how often people even use patterns, anyway. So--how often do you use a pattern when you make things ? This include knitting/crochet/sewing/weaving/nalbinding/bobbin lace/tatting/etc but also things like woodworking, cooking, and baking. If you want to just pick the thing you do most often that's fine.

I personally do not use patterns as I find them far more confusing than just figuring out the construction of an item and simply making it. I do very occasionally browse ravelry for inspiration but have downloaded maybe 2. In the 5 or so years since I joined. And have followed exactly 1, which I modified every single aspect of. In my defense, dyslexia.

baking in practice is a lot less idyllic and cozy than has been advertised

i hate baking so much. all i want is a tasty treat i don’t have to pay $15 plus delivery for but every time i decide to bake i end up turning into the worst person who ever existed. the next time i want to bake i need someone to gently take my shoulder and tell me that i will do a harm to myself or someone else if i do that

My heart keeps finding new ways to break and sympathy-panic for Jonathan with today’s entry. Because, God. God. How could he ever have expected this? How could he ever have prepared for anything like this?

He was just on a business trip. His very first. Important, certainly! For his future, for his mentor, for his life with Mina. But now, somehow, his entire life has been broken at the neck and detoured down into this impossible scenario ripped from a sordid penny dreadful. Even as he plans and prays and tries to keep a stranglehold on his sanity and hope, the thought has to be there:

“This is it for me. This is really it. I’ll never see Mina again. I am going to live out the rest of my life here, in this cold stone box with all its monsters. I am going to be used and preyed upon by an inhuman Thing that used to be a client and is now my owner.”

(This man belongs to me.)

“I am going to have every last comfort and freedom and choice stripped away by him. I am going to be handed over to three demons with women’s faces to be used as a living winepress. I am going to die. And there are very good, very horrifying odds that death will not free me.”

(Yes, I too can love.)

Yes, he loves. And he keeps all the ones he’s loved before bound in this castle like his personal dragon’s hoard.

Jonathan will try, of course. He’ll do everything he can to try and escape. To live. To beat the nightmare or at least hold off its climax until maybe, please God, he can wake up safe and away and in Mina’s arms.

But the thought is there. The rational, odds-figuring thought that, in this scenario, every single factor is stacked against him on a supernatural level. And his hope will likely drain from him long before the blood does.

This may not be the most picturesque cake slice, but it is pleasantly spongy and tart.

I’m sorry but if you start your recipe with ‘did you know’ I want to tear your fucking head off

[wooldawn]

hiiii

at the last few anons ive gotten! i dont answer asks about copying/similar post styles even if it was worded kindly - it just feels silly and usually sends hate to the person it was about SO please don’t send them! thank you for trying to look out but at most its just flattering to me and i enjoy posts similar to mine!

Omega knows how to cook but it's only out of pure spite when someone threatened that he couldn't because he's a robot.

Yes, he lit the kitchen on fire too many times while learning, sometimes on purpose because he got bored, sometimes on accident. No, his food is not amazing by any means. It tends to be pretty under-seasoned. But yes, Shadow and Rouge do appreciate his scrambled eggs in the morning and his mac and cheese after a mission.

i never pay attention to my bookmarks so if i need to remember something that is an internet link i send it to myself in my own personal discord server (which i have separated into channels that i use like folders). this says something about either me or the UI of the bookmarks bar. or both

I love making the same recipe that I hated the first time thinking that surely it will be better the second time. Reader, it was not, in fact, better the second time

Look at this bad boy!
