Propaganda below cut

Cam

trained w a rapier & knives. practical. handsome. extremely efficient and capable.; she’s my boyfriend and I love her. Please vote for cam she is my life

Gideon Nav uses one very large sword in defiance of the expectation that a cavalier should use a rapier, but Camilla Hect instead uses two. Just as much defiance of social expectation, twice as many blades. The reveal of her specific brand of swordiness is the heart of one of the book's most iconic lines: "Cam? Go loud."; In the spirit of the laconic charm of the Warden's Hand I will simply say "Camilla's competent."

She prefers two short swords but has been know to wield a rapier and other such bladder instruments; She also loves to organize spreadsheets

Go loud.

Peko

she is the ultimate swordsman. her only purpose is to cut people with sword (for her yakuza master); PEKO

I mean. Her title in-game is literally "Ultimate Swordswoman" so she's quite literally the best at swordfighting in-universe! She wields a bamboo sword most of the time but has also fought with a more "regular" sword several times.; Umm idk she's just really cool <3 I'm not great at writing propaganda lmao

She is literally called the Ultimate Swordswoman in game.

Her title is 'Ultimate Swordswoman'; Please consider: I love her

She's literally called the Ultimate Swordswoman; Member of the yakuza (Japanese mafia), wears glasses without being the token "smart/nerdy one" stereotype, likes animals

Sadly you don't see her fighting a lot, but she has the title of Ultimate Swordswoman. She also destroyed several robot bears during her execution (although she seemed to be controlled during it) and only died because she accidently hurt her crush. She also battled the Ultimate soldier and while she ultimately lost, it wasn't an easy fight. Also bodyguard for the yakuza; First seems like the stereotypical "stoic" girl, but talking to here reveals she loves Flugfeld animals and dislikes scaring them. Also sweet and very loyal. She doesn't even see herself as a person, but only a tool. Wants to relearn how to smile. Has a crush on the person she is supposed to protect, the Ultimate Yakuza, but sadly in the main story that doesn't have good ending

Has the in-universe title of Ultimate Swordswoman due to her skills. Was taken in by a yazuka family as a young child and trained with swords in order to be a bodyguard for the group’s heir, which she does extremely well.

Literally the MOST TALENTED SWORDWOMAN IN THE WORLD of her age., She is so so fucked up and traumatized <3 she sees herself as just being a tool for the yakuza heir she's a bodyguard for. Also she became a terrorist and then had her memories wiped and was still pretty morally grey after that. Then she died because she killed someone and got caught. Queen shit

Propaganda

Carmen Sevilla (La fierecilla domada/La mégère apprivoisée, La Venganza, King of Kings)— One of the few spanish actresses to really make it in Hollywood. She worked opposite Charlton Heston in the 1970s and reportedly slapped him but that is past the cut-off so you can look it up for yourselves. There's also rumors that Frank Sinatra had a bit of a crush on her and asked her out a couple of times but she rejected him. The woman was just messy as hell in general and an absolute icon. Bless.

Simone Simon (Cat People, La Bête Humaine, The Devil and Daniel Webster, The Curse of the Cat People)— If she turned in to a panther and ate me I would be fine with that

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

nothing lasts, really.

CLASSIC HORROR HEROINES SIMONE SIMON as Irena Dubrovna CAT PEOPLE (1942) dir. Jacques Tourneur I like the dark. It's friendly.

so so so so cute

one of simone simon's best remembered movies is cat people, one of jacques tourneur's great b-horror movies that's secretly a sensitive and tender examination of otherness, seriously i cry every time i watch it a short excerpt from cat people

She’s maybe not super well known to a lot of people but holy hell is she a stunner. I literally have her Cat People poster on my wall - she is amazing in that film, playing this tragic character (please go watch Cat People it’s this amazing tragic story of a foreign woman being caught up in a toxic relationship with a man who doesn’t believe her, plus cats). She’s so beautiful!! Look at her!!

they should make it easier

2nd house preview/ materials/instructions

Two for discipline, headless of trial.

Time: 6-8 hours

Difficultly: medium

Material cost: <$12

Real world inspiration. Sundance catolog.

Materials

8 gm TOHO Beads Round 11/0 Matte Opaque Pepper Red

8 gm TOHO beads Round 11/0 semi Glazed Dark Red*

10 lb smoke colored fireline

2 gold finding rings**

1 gold bar from a funding clasp that will fit in the finding rings

Tulip or other brand size 11 beading needle

*I have lost the lable so this is my best guess

**I have also lost the recipe and never really new the size to begin with but please refer to the picture below.

Pictures of material for reference.

Instructions (sort of)

This necklass is made of two ply herringbone stitch. If you do not know how to do herringbone stich for beading. Then GTS because apparently I can't post outside links to tumblr. But it is very easy and thier are some very good tutorials out there

When you need to attach the rings add 7 more rows of beads. Then bend the work around finding ring and use herringbone stich to sew the work back onto itself in a loop.

For sizing

Figure out your desired length and double that for the total length.

Add the first ring then add the second ring a quarter of the length. Bead till the finished length then add the bar.

Here is a picture of the proportion of mine

If you have any questions please let me know I'm happy to clarify. I've never tied to make instructions before.

poll pt 2 (repost)

Beaded necklace by Colleen Toland.

All the beads I ordered are finaly here so I spent a few hours with my bed covered with containers of sead beads like a dragon on her hord.

Beads make me very happy.

Stoll working on the third house scarf necklace. But I've been thinking of the other houses,

I still don't have all the material. I'm missing

Large Silver ring ringing for the 6th and the 7th house, which I have already ordered.

Size 6 frosted clear toho beads and size 6 opaque white matte sead beads for the base of the 8ths tenticals

Bone beads for the 9th

More size 11 wisteria lined crystal toho beads for the 3rd.

But I have the third and the first house with plenty of materials for now.

Also I think I finally decided on an idea for the ninth. Harrow and I are both nuroatypical. Harrow is autistic and I am adhd so we are not the same type of nuroatypical but one of the common overlaps between the two is STIMing and I think that's what I want to do for the ninth house. A necklace of mismatched materials and textures that allows the wearer to fight with it. Some of the beads will be carved bone. Other will be 3d peyote stitch. Some others will be metal. I want someone that feels scavenged by an adhd gremlin from other necklaces. I want it to be a Comfort under stress
