Egglantine23 - Just ADHD Things!

You know sometimes I think I'm faking my autism and sometimes I'm sitting in a hotel lobby just trying not to have an anxiety attack because my grandpa wanted the room to get cleaned, ruining my plan to draw on my iPad and relax and now I'm in a over and under stimulated limbo and my interest in anything has completely vanished.

Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term. 

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat. 

PJO Celtic gods au intro

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to actually post this au I have been working on it for a long time and probably has the most content out of anything I make. So let begin!

There are Celtic gods, the gods from Ireland, Great Britain, and Gaul. In cannon we know there are not many left and more are fading away. Now the au, due to all the fading the gods have all come to gather under there Irish name the Tuatha De Dahann or children of the Danu, and to the gods that apply they go as either there Irish, welsh, Scottish, or very rarely there name from gaul. For example Lugh is the Irish name but Lugus is the Gaulish name(think Roman and Greek). For simplicity the gods basically fuse there other names together and go by one name now, so the Gaulish god once known as Lugus now goes by Lugh and is the same person as the Irish god Lugh. The gods that appear in the au are Lugh, the Morrigan, Dian Cecht, Cailleach, Aengus Og, Brigd, Manannan Mac Lir, and Arawn.

Not all of these gods are major figures in Celtic mythology and the loss of many major gods is the reason the gods now raise and are very close to and protective of there Demi-god children. Celtic Demi-gods also have not had to deal with monsters like other Demi-gods due to the close relationships between the people and magical creatures. But although they are safer they have to deal with the responsibilities of the faded and older Demi-gods work as or even fully become minor gods. They used to have a school for the Demi-gods and even mortal children to teach them life skills in the mortal world, magic, and other skills, sadly due to there not being enough students it was shut down in 1902 and a small after school and summer day program is used instead that focuses on teaching magic and self defense. The school and program are run by fairies employed by the gods that are also in charge of the seasons but if you have ever seen Ireland and Great Britain they don’t change much.

I introduced the fairies before in the post about porcupine so I won’t go over them here.

Unlike the greek gods who moved to the US the Celtic gods stayed in Ireland and Great Britain since they’re connected to the Irish people and the island itself not western culture. Some Demi-gods do live in the US like Aisling who lives in Modesto California(my hometown because I find it funny) since her ma works in viticulture.

Aisling is one of the main characters in this au along with her family, her dad is the god Arawn. Now in the mythology Arawn has a wife but nothing is known about her so I made her a actual character, Fiona in known as ma to there children, and Mary is known as mum. Arawn and Fiona have been married for centuries and in the late 17 hundreds or early 18 hundreds they met Mary a 40 year old childless widow and all three fell in love and got married turning Mary into a minor goddess and second queen of Annwn. Together they have 4 sons Patrick, Sean, Gillian, and Bart and 1 daughter Aisling. Patrick is the oldest at 24, the twins Sean and Gillian are 22, Bart is 20, and the youngest Aisling is 16.

5-minute oc! Victoria for Haikyuu

So I don’t feel obligated to stick to one hyper fixation I am writing this.

I haven’t seen Haikyuu since it left Netflix but I’ve had this idea for a long time.

Meet Victoria a 4’11” American exchange student living with her grandma and grandpa in Tokyo and goes to Nekoma High. Her mom told her to join a club and she randomly met the previous volleyball team manager that is now graduated, Victorias mom professionally played volleyball before retiring in her late 30’s, so she said why not and joined. On her first day she takes one look at the team, thinks there to fucking loud and decided to just do her manager duties with as little interaction as possible. So much so that only coach knows what she looks like, Kuroo and by extension Nobuyuki Kai and Kenma, only knows of her existence and nothing else. In contrast to most of the characters Victoria doesn’t particularly like volleyball and is kind of apathetic, stubborn, extremely sarcastic, and very straight and to the point. She was planning on continuing her ruse until graduation, until that overnight practice thing they did. Her grandpa found out about it and forced her to go. She stayed around the other managers and almost stabbed a couple players with a plastic knife. Afterwards though it’s safe to say that she can’t hide anymore and she will now be forced to use her vast bank of knowledge about volleyball, she just hopes they don’t find out who her mom is. But on the bright side she now has 14 easy targets to mock all the time.

I love making us an ocs it’s part of my enjoyment of media sometimes there story altering and change huge chunks of the story and sometimes there small joke ocs that have little to no baring on the plot, and sometimes there an oc that is active in the story but the plot doesn’t change all that much.

Like my ATLA oc Mebh in the context of the show she has very little say in the story. And that on purpose I love avatar and I wouldn’t want to change it in a au and risk butchering it’s themes and story. After avatar and lok however are free rain in my mind. So here’s my atla au.

The spirit would in my mind is a bridge between other worlds it has many connections to many different places

One of those places is the world of the avatar and then there’s the world of witch’s

Mebh grew up in this world where magic and spells rain supreme, but magic is extremely difficult and laws limit it’s use to the upper classes with people having to go to extremely expensive schools and gain permission from the raining sovereign to practice magic

Mebh is a lower class girl from a small town

In the beginning of the series we would know nothing about her backstory just know she practiced magic illegally and got stuck in the world of avatar along with her familiar a owl griffin named peaches

Lost she runs into Zuko and Iroh during the first year of his banishment, she saves there lives from something and iroh decides to help her and she joins them on the ship

Mebh doesn’t ever help zuko on his journey to find the avatar, even after they find aang, but she never hinders it she just there to hangout with iroh and go through iroh therapy

She’s not really out of place and you can just assume for the most part that she’s a non bender with a weird look

She has light red hair that she keeps in two long braids and her clothes are a mix of fire nation, earth nation, and a earasaid so yea she stands out

Before the raid of the northern water tribe her magic is hinted at but due to how different it is she still only practices it In secret but now with the help of iroh who helps her figure out spells and magic

During the raid on the northern water tribe she mostly stays with iroh until the moon spirit scene

Mebhs people hold the moon in very high regard and credit it as there patron so when general zhao kills it she immediately attacks him with magic and only stopping when aang and the ocean spirit work together

After this her secret is out and she uses magic a lot more

Here is Hesina from @nevertheless-moving Hesina Willshaper au!! I hope you like it!! The skirt is that big because of the big bag of snacks she keeps in her pockets.

Molly

An update to my last post about my percy jackson au(still working on it) but i changed some things about Molly. 

Her age is now 6-7 not 10-11

she is a child of neptune

scottish

those are pretty much all of the changes to her character.

I keep thinking of this au. Like in the last ever after when Merlin showed up I totally thought Morgan would at least get a mention but sadly no she did not. What’s worse is that thematically she fits perfectly in the story, she is everything Sophie is supposed to be. I really hate the strict line between Evers and Nevers like it just gets repetitive as the story goes on and forces characters to never learn and grow. Morgan le fey could be a character who originally is an Ever but turns into a Never before finally growing as a person and just is herself refusing either classification.

She even has a connection to Avalon and was the one who brought Arthur there when he died! Like that’s potential right there. I also think that the reason she didn’t like guenavire was because she was cheating on Arthur with Lancelot but I’m also pretty certain that after her redemption off screen she just stoped caring because to be honest she didn’t really like Arthur all that much to begin with.

The books mention lands outside the schools influence so I In this au I also have her get married and have children with the son of the sugar plum fairy. Which is a title rather than a single person.

alright so I just finished all six books in the school for good and evil and my brain in buzzing with au’s already. like I kind of wish that Morgan le Fay was in there. like it would be hilarious that the sister to the great king Arthur with how he is portrayed in the book has a this crazy prankster of a sister just running around and causing chaos. I know a lot of people see her as a evil sorceress but I like her as a loony tunes like villein or a trickster. witch makes her off screen redemption arc extremally funny. like in the original(not sge) green knight story the entire purpose that he is there is because Morgan thought if the green night got his head cut off Guinevere would see it and just die. like that is so stupid, but I love it!
