Anyways here is the alternative thumbnail we had

[ID: tweet from velsmells: Me getting into the silly transformers lore for children only to slowly realize that a good chunk of it is about classism, lack of bodily autonomy, slavery, and the government propaganda designed to keep the lower class ignorant and content with inequality. End ID]

[ID: Two replies. rokusanae: when the yaoi has subtext. velsmells: The yuri version of this is just Steven Universe. End ID]

[ID: A QRT by milksharx of the original tweet with a tumblr post by r--g--b added: transformers is funny because it seems to be a simple niche interest but in reality its like if your hot wheels came with greek mythology. End ID]

Well, happy birthday to me, im 20 now. Weird cause I don't feel any different but I'm in a whole new decade of my life. In my 20s. I've loved undertale for basically 7 years. That's weird isn't it? well not really but it just feels that way. I dunno man, Well anyways, i know i posted some of these already but I'm mainly focusing on getting a chapter out for Just A Little Taste and going to IHOP tonight, which I've been craving :)

[dokidreaming]

Liu Mingyan for the ask game!

favorite thing about them

her design and colour scheme, it's so pleasant to look at?? on god I want to put her outfit on every other character, it's really my type. I drew LQG in it once but hmmm Binghe should wear some female disciple uniforms too I think

least favorite thing about them

see unpopular opinion below

favorite line

... none really come to mind in particular but her listening to the juicy bingqiu gossip while Mr. Peerless Cucumber is twitching and freaking out is VERY good comedy

brOTP

taking the bro thing a bit literal, but I crave seeing her interact with LQG so badly. HOW does their dynamic work. what kind of siblings are they. I want to know more about them and their family so badly god.

OTP

I think people tend to ship her with NYY and/or SHL? I like her with those three nuns but I'm not extremely invested in her ships so any and all the girls are great

nOTP

her/Binghe?

random headcanon

she and liu qingge are like, nearly identical. eerily identical. if you took off her veil and gave her a beauty mark it would be hard to tell the difference.

unpopular opinion

idk if this is unpopular but I don't see it mentioned much - it's like genuinely kind of fucked up in the world of sv that she writes and publishes porn about real life people that she knows and sees on a fairly regular basis, to the point of interacting very normally with Binghe and assuming his presence means SQQ will be visiting soon. I know it's played for laughs and I am able to find it funny, but it's one of those things where if I think about it for longer than five seconds it's actually REALLY wack

song i associate with them

here's a fun song

favorite picture of them

there's a critical lack of canon art for anyone other than bq but the donghua promo art for her is gorgeous

and honourable mention to any of velsmells art of her

[day-lyreminder]

Fandom: The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System by Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

Pairing: Liu Qingge/Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu

Illustration: Xiao Tong @velsmells

Wow, this book ended up being much more of a project than I anticipated, as you can see from the "published in 2020" on the title page. It's three months later, and I've finally finished! 🥰

I absolutely adore this fic, such a great character study and coda to the novel, and of course some excellent porn with feelings. Such exquisite writing, one of my favorite SVSSS fics! I’m ashamed to admit, when I first read Scum Villain, Liu Qingge didn’t make much of an impression on me; I credit this story for showing me the light. So earnest, so awkward, really just my favorite kind of character.

Continue past the cut for my ~process~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Fonts

Body: Cheltenham

Titles, header and page numbers: Novarese and Gill Sans

Materials

Bookcloth: Arrestox pewter

Cover: Gray, pink, and gold marbled jute fiber paper, 96 gsm

Headbands/bookmark: DMC Diamant D140 Black Gold; DMC Pearl Cotton Size 5, 353 Peach; 3/8 in. grey satin ribbon

Title: Cricut Foil Iron-On

Text block: Hammermill Cream 20lbs, Lineco linen binder’s thread

Unusually for me, I made my decision for the layout pretty quickly. I knew I wanted something that looked like a contemporary fantasy book. In particular, the 1 inch indent on the opening chapter paragraph, parallel with the chapter title, I saw in Gideon the Ninth. I think it really gives an elegant, modern feel. I did the same mixture of Cheltenham for the body text and Gill Sans for the header and page numbers in my previous project, astolat’s And I Alone Have Escaped to Tell You.

(Comparison with Gideon the Ninth, as well as some clearer pictures of the layout because I can't take focused photos to save my life)

I debated for a while about the cover paper: I thought maybe something blue, white, and/or gray would work as Liu Qingge’s colors, but I couldn’t find anything I liked. My next thought, was, Hey, this pink/grey paper I already have looks blood-ish … demon blood… 🤔 So, it’s not much of a thought, but the combination with the gray bookcloth turned out so well, I can’t really complain.

For this project, I did zig-zag endpapers using DAS bookbinding’s tutorial, which was frustratingly vague at parts. But I much prefer the end results compared to pasted on endpapers, and I’m going to continue to do it in the future. However, I was a bit dumb, so I pasted paper over the spine as reinforcement…but that also went over part of the hinge, so it doesn’t flex as much as it should. Well, you live and learn.

Once I found this tutorial, I was able to make the headbands very easily. The use of tissue paper makes starting much easier and the process much less fiddly. I think that the satin ribbon looks pretty, but in the future I want to use cotton, and for books of this size, a smaller width. Getting the needle through the weave and keeping the ribbon centered was difficult.

I used my sister’s Cricut machine to cut out the titles, and I was really surprised how it cut out the thin serif font. Unfortunately, I had already constructed the case so I couldn’t properly lay it flat on the ironing board--would not recommend.

For a long time I've been hesitant to make wheat paste, since PVA worked fine already (and I hate trying new things). But it was so easy, I’m annoyed I didn’t do it sooner. Water, flour, a microwave, that’s all you need. I got a much smoother application with a mixture of paste and PVA, as I wasn’t rushing to put down the endpapers before the PVA dried up.

I tried a few new things with this project: using zig-zag endpapers, adding headbands and a bookmark, titling the spine, and gluing the endpapers with a paste/PVA mixture instead of straight PVA. I really think it ended up creating a more professional-looking book.

Thank you, acernor, for writing such an excellent fic, that was such a pleasure to bind! As well as to velsmells for graciously giving permission to use their artwork, and everyone on the Renegade Bindery discord who took the time to give me advice and feedback. 💖
