More spindle nonsense!

A sample of merino/silk blend. Doesn't look all that fine, but this is laceweight enough that I kept worrying about dropping the spindle. Which I haven't yet... aside from that one time where I forgot this isn't a bottom-whorl spindle and tried to get it started upside down, danged muscle memory.

This definitely doesn't feel like a beginner spindle and its rhythm doesn't exactly make for a leisurely spinning experience, it's so finnicky to keep steady (it's capable of spinning so evenly you can barely tell it's moving at all, but if you as much as draft too quickly, it'll tumble) and it's so goddamn fast you have to stay focused on it constantly, but it also makes spinning fine, even yarns pretty much effortless. If I wanted to spin cotton with a drop spindle for some fucking reason, I think this one would be the one to choose.

Unlike my bottom-whorl spindles, which are kind of ass to spin with sitting down, this one's also a perfect desk chair spindle; the timing of its spin just works out great for spinning shorter lengths at a time.

I am... really not looking forward to plying this stuff, lmao. A center-pull ball would be super annoying to wind AND likely tangle in the middle, and a plying bracelet would have me risking fingers given the length... and I hate chain-plying with a burning passion.

I'm also pondering 2-ply vs cabled 4-ply and am very muchly open to suggestions!

You are truly a goddess. If this is rude, ignore my ask but I am curious if you're bi/straight/gay/other? And what type of kinks you're into if any?

If it's pretty, it's pretty; so I guess pan if you're really pressed on a definition. For your second question: my sexuality was forged in an 8th dimension and is so powerful that even Sauron would be corrupted if he wielded it. Listing my quirks would probably cause a rupture in the fabric of space-time.

it’s not to say that i wasn’t sitting there like “damn fuck it up” when olenna gives her “tell cersei it was me” line to jaime but i think constantly having to work around mace is really interesting, in the context of all the patriarchs being constantly compared and contrasted with each other, with mace it’s like “what if the man in charge of your family was a complete fucking idiot with a lot of ambition” and while olenna and loras and probably alerie and garlan clearly WANT margaery to be queen and have their own ambitions, like these are not altruistic saints that’s Part Of The Brand, they’re just as desperate to get onto that dumb chair as everyone else, they are all moving very riskily in part because they do not trust that a marriage to joffrey is tenable as a situation but whereas mace (like tywin with robert) doesn’t seem to give a shit, olenna (and probably garlan) DO and aren’t going to trap loras & margaery in a situation where an obvious regicide & coup (lichrally like what’s happening w the starks & lannisters & baratheons right now) feels like their only way out. i think it’s interestingly layered characterization but having to work around mace because he’s an idiot who doesn’t gaf about whether margaery is getting domestically abused or not, is all INCREDIBLY different than olenna being able to dismiss her son as an idiot and straight up talk to tywin as Head Of The Family herself.

It’s just too much for me to handle honestly, our clothing, our hairstyles, our language, our features, our food, our music. All of it. All of it is seen as ghetto low-down trash unless it is used or rebranded by a white person. It only takes one white person to colonize what we have and turn it into something digestible for other white people enjoy. As soon as a white person gives the green light on it THEN it’s okay for a white society to indulge in it.

galar had a LOT of problems that many people have gone over many times but my nitpicky one is still that there's nowhere in the game that feels like a little nod to british seaside culture. like why did u bury devon and cornwall under a barrage of mountains pokemon, why did u do that

Oh boy, this is probably so irrelevant to you, but I've read the little piece you made for Babyverse about Jasper having to leave Alice and their son to go hunt and I swear I wept, thinking that's exactly how my baby brother gets everytime I leave. Literally the cutest AU ever made!!! Also, I have a weak spot for Damage Alice. May I ask for some of any of these two masterpieces?

This is absolutely not irrelevant - I'm not around small children, so I am relying entirely luck and vague memories to make any depiction of Ollie convincing, and I am SO glad that I am on the right track!

You caught me in a weak moment, so have a little of both <3

babyverse.

It’s been six fucking weeks since he’s seen them, and he’s trying to convince himself that this is another false lead, another dead-end, even as he presses his foot further on the accelerator. 

He knows the old motel he’s going to - it’s been abandoned for decades, with a cracked sign caked in filth declaring it the Rose Spring. It’s a thrice condemned shit-hole, untouched because of alleged chemical leaks or something that the government don’t want to have to clean up to sell the land off. It’s irrelevant though; the Rose Spring, like all the other falling-down, forgotten motels across the country, is a regular haunt for vampires looking to avoid the sun, to meet other travellers, to pass messages back and forth. 

He pulls into the motel, barely shutting off the ignition as he gets out. The back is laden with supplies, and he pauses only long enough to grab the bag that Esme has labelled with a big red cross. 

The stairs are flimsy and buckle under his step - no place for a human. Half the balcony has collapsed, and at least two of the rooms have crumbled in on themselves - probably in the last storm. 

Room 37 is tucked in the corner, and he doesn’t bother to knock as he throws open the door. 

Ollie is sitting on the first rancid, rotting bed and his face lights up as he sees Jasper, his arms stretching out towards him. He’s wearing filthy, mismatched clothing that aren’t his, and is sucking on a pacifier again, and for some reason that’s more upsetting than anything else to Jasper - he was just beginning to give it up before everything happened. And now it’s back. 

Maria is seated on the bed with Ollie, looking equally as filthy and surprisingly solemn. 

“You made it faster than I anticipated,” she says, standing up and motioning to Ollie as the bed tilts slightly without her weight. “He’ll be hungry, but he’s unharmed.”

Ollie makes a whining noise as soon as he’s in Jasper’s arms; a reassuring weight, but Ollie is about to start crying. 

“Where’s Alice?” He demands, rubbing his son’s back and hoping they can get out of here, and back north tonight; somewhere they can clean up and talk and he can make sure that they’re okay. 

Maria looks grimmer and motions for him to follow her out the door and into the next room. 

Ollie gets agitated, straining towards Alice the second they set foot in the second room. 

The scent of blood saturates the air.

Alice is lying on the bed, unconscious. There’s an angry wound on her head, and bother her arms. Some rough bandages have been wrapped around her leg, and it’s obvious that someone - perhaps Maria - tried to clean her up. 

“Alice?” His alarm is evident in his voice, and he almost hands Ollie off to Maria to go to her side before his brain clicks back into place. “Alice, can you hear me?”

Ollie’s reaching more and his whimpers are turning to wails as Alice doesn’t flinch.

“For god’s sake, give me the child, and deal with your mate,” Maria says, almost crossing. “I didn’t eat him before, I’m not going to eat him now.”

damaged alice.

The race to the ballet studio is the longest journey of his life.

Alice can’t defend herself. She’s never fought in her life. When Maria came to Calgary, Alice had been carefully protected by Esme and Emmett. 

He’s never run faster in his life. 

The scene that he finds in the ballet studio is one that fills him with anger and terror, and his first instinct is to get Alice out. 

Not Bella bleeding out on the floor and screaming (oh god, he knows that scream) with an extremely broken leg. 

Or to destroy James, with his joker-smile.

Alice is standing over Bella, blood on her face and dress and hands, and she’s getting upset about it, a thin cry coming out of her mouth as she stares down at her maybe-future-best-friend’s blood smelling so tempting…

But when James laughingly steps forward towards Bella, Alice growls protectively. 

He swoops in, barely pausing as he grabs Alice and gets her out of James’ reach, smoothing her hair as he tries to look her in the eyes; but Alice’s eyes dart, never meeting his. Not a surprise that today would become a bad one, that Alice can’t communicate right now. 

(James was alone with her for too long; he hates himself for that. He’s terrified she’s been hurt in some way, that the damage is worse than being slathered in her maybe-friend’s blood. )

“Are you okay?” 

As soon as the words are out, James slams into him from nowhere, and he can’t worry about Alice or Bella in that moment. 

But all he can hear are Alice’s soft cries from where she’s standing in the corner.

Oh!!! I was the one who asked about age. I wanted to invite you to the discord server. SADLY, you're too young so you can't go to our nightclub 😔 (I'd suspected it before that you were young so I wanted to make sure pff)

But I suppose you can let this mean whenever you're old enough you can jump in! >:) ... Just not for now 🔫‼️

IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!! Alas, time has beaten me to the punch once again…. 💔💔

*squeeeeeeeeeeeals*

So... even though I grew up watching Captain Tsubasa and the Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon franchises (just to name a few)...

I think Gundam Wing is my first anime as a teenager. And, even though I’ve seen Endless Waltz several times, I don’t think I’ve actually seen GW since the late 90s.

So the nostalgia is through the roof rn.

Predictions:

- I’ll still love Duo, possibly even more. - I am curious about Heero and Relena as individuals - Surprisingly, Quatre caught my attention for several reasons. I had forgotten that he’s basically on a “break the cutie” character arc, so that’s a big plus in my book, but I also adore the dichotomy between his soft and kind personality compared to this very, very masculine killing machine that he pilots. I can’t think of the word in English to describe how “tosco” the Gundam is. lol, maybe my English skills will return eventually... - I am trying to go into GW without shipping glasses on? But I can’t make any promises. GW popped my Fujoshi cherry after all. Like just imagine this 14-15 year old girl accidentally running into yaoi drawings of Heero and Duo and realizing she liked them... like A LOT loooool. But I have the feeling this time around it’s going to be all about 3x4
