Tatreez Bookmarks stitched by Loree1234.

Tatreez Bookmarks, I have been inspired by the Palestinian style cross stitch and adapted these design to bookmarks. This tutorial is how I do the backs. You need to cut the aida twice as wide as you need. I have not had any trouble with using fabric glue (found in craft stores). Sometimes, I don't cut the aida wide enough and then I cut a piece of cloth and glue it on the back. These patterns were based on patterns from these websites: tirazain.com, palestinianembroider/tripod.com and a book: Palestinian Embroidery motifs by M. Skinner 2007.

Taboo Japan Disentanglement is coming out tomorrow at Reitaisai: https://touhou-project.news/news/11618/.

I'd wait a while before having these on tumblr, at least to see if they get copyright striked on youtube. For the same reason Rainbow-Colored Septentrion isn't posted yet.

I haven’t had any questions lately but love your blog and your insights. In a video of the group photo at Milan fashion week, GG is sitting next to the older man and they are talking. I figure in some videos when GG is talking to others he has translators but it does not look like anyone from his staff is around and I was wondering if they were speaking in English or what other languages he might speak. Love to hear your insights and hope you are doing well.

Hi coyote! Thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying my blog! 😊

The man he's seen talking with a lot is Diego Della Valle, the CEO of Tod's. GG has a fantastic relationship with him, and he even referred to him as yeye (grandpa) in his Vogue interview from the show.

Last time GG was in Milan Della Valle took GG on a tour of some beautiful sites around Italy - including the Colloseum in Rome -and some sites significant to the brand (the workshop, the flagship store, etc.). GG got to spend a lot of time with him, so they had plenty of opportunity to build a strong relationship.

You can tell just by his entire demeanour around GG that Della Valle adores GG. Which makes absolute sense given how cute, gracious and charming GG is. When GG arrived at the Tod's show this year Della Valle lit up like a Christmas tree.

They sat together last year at the Tod's show as well (those who missed out on last year's trip can check out my 'gg milan fashion week 2023' tag).

Anyway, you weren't asking about Della Valle, you were asking about how GG is able to communicate with him. The simple answer is that GG does have some English!

Many students in China learn English in school, although they sometimes don't get as much opportunity to speak it, so it's probably kind of like my French - I understand quite well to hear, read and write it, but my accent and pronunciation are a bit rough around the edges (that's putting it mildly 😅).

With the international travel he's done and all the elbow-rubbing he's had to do with foreign celebrities and brand stakeholders I think GG has had a lot more opportunity than the average person to exercise his language skills, so I've no doubt he's improving all the time.

He's also a huge music lover and has many times been seen singing English songs from Avril Lavigne, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith and many more. A couple of English performances he's done in the past:

Starts at 3:22 (I'll never get over hockey player GG 🥲).

It also seems clear that GG has a general interest in languages. He knows a fair bit of Korean and he and DD are seen in The Untamed BTS speaking various languages and dialects, including English. This is also a common feature of LRLG rumors.

There are many clips to be found online of GG speaking English for ads, occasionally a few lines for drama roles, throwing in English phrases into interviews, etc. Just based those alone I think one can tell that he's got pretty good English. His pronunciation is quite good.

If you watch some of the vlogs he's posted from the international events, and some of the clips shared by brands and magazines, you can catch moments of GG having English interactions with many people at those events. One of my absolute favorites is when he's replying to a bodyguard in a vlog when he was in Florence last year (starts at 4:08).

The bodyguard is trying to teach him how to roll his r to pronounce Florence in Italian ('Firenze') and GG says, "I can't do it." The way he says it is so damn cute, I almost died when I heard it.

Anyway, so to answer your question, GG speaks in English with Della Valle and others at those events!

Palestinian Tatreez stitched by Electronic_Gazelle_5.

Tatreez chest piece for child’s thobe. Pattern taken the book Tatreez and Tea by Wafa Ghnaim. I used DMC 99 and 94 on 18 count Aida. This is the first time I used variegated thread and I hated every second of it. 😂 The frame was heavily inspired by this post by user FrenchFryNotFrench. I’ve had this book for years and always planned to make something from it, but I felt now more than ever was the best time to honor this traditional Palestinian art form.

I know I bang on about this pretty regularly but god every time I do the Thaumanova fractal I think about the city that had been above it. I think about people trying to figure out what was going on, if it was just a light show, or if someone had messed with power crystals in the core again.

But then the stones start breaking apart.

Creatures blink in and out of existence, and so do people standing three feet away from you.

The reactor having a city high above it is a throw away piece of lore. Only really mentioned in one place and then swept under the rug. Hundreds of people displaced or killed, the first city that was victim to Scarlet's actions.

Everyone remembers Lion's Arch.

Am I the only one who imagines some of my favorite incest ships from complete different fandoms being the same souls reincarnated over and over together? Like- There's that (Japanese, I think?) myth that twins are reincarnated, doomed lovers that committed suicide together... So I have this kind of setup in my head tying some of my favorite twincest ships where they keep being doomed, over and over, yet still falling in love with each other despite knowing that.

I've never imagined that before, but I love it! So much potential for finding threads to tie different ships together. Really creative and fun, Anon!
