Untitled Goose Game Is Really Good Because, Whilst I Hate Being Evil In Video Games, I Love Being A Chaotic

oh………..

it’s a kitty hurricane. 

Helpful former homeowner.

working with textiles is a trap. first they lure you in with knitting. then you pick up crochet (understandable enough). next you start getting curious in fiber. you learn how to spin (okay that’s a bit extra). weaving is cool, right? you now own a loom. heck, while we’re at it, why not starting making your own clothes (this is getting out of hand)? spinning is no longer enough for you — you need something stronger. you learn how to dye (stop i’m begging). dye is fun, but it’d be nice to have your own source of fiber. you are now a shepherd.

EDIT: this has unfortunately somehow found its way into terf circles. anyway op is trans and i hope all fellow trans people people have wonderful and lovely days.

Ship Sizes

Supercarrier: fandom flagship.  Everybody and their dog ships it.  The fandom is glutted with artwork and fic.  You cannot escape this ship.

Dreadnought: massively popular.  Nearly everybody ships it.  You can, with dedication, in theory, reach the end of the AO3 archive for the ship’s tag, but it’ll take a long time.

Cruiser: pretty popular ship.  Not everyone ships it, but everyone knows about it.  Has a good amount of fic/art, and probably multiple ask blogs.

Frigate: just plain popular.  Feels like it could use more fanworks.  New people to the fandom might not know about it, but they’ll stumble across it sooner rather than later.

Gunboat: bit of a rarepair.  It might have an ask blog or two.  A couple big name fans ship it.  Probably only takes a few weeks to get through the entire AO3 backlog, and one new fic gets added during that time.

Tugboat: rarepair.  Almost never seen except as a side pairing to a more popular ship.  You can usually get through everything on AO3 in a matter of days.  You’ve forgotten what it is to be picky about what you read.

Rowboat: less than a dozen people ship it.  You all know each other.  You exist in an endless cycle of the same five people desperately producing art and fic and one person who constantly contributes headcanons.

Canoe: you are one of maybe three people who ship it, and there’s a not-insignificant chance you’ve never encountered those other two hypothetical shippers.  You spend your days paddling furiously in hopes of keeping the ship afloat, dreaming of the day you upgrade to a rowboat so you can finally rest.

Seattle-based artist Carol Milne knits with glass, or rather, she creates wonderful glass sculptures that make it seem as though she’s either a superhuman glass knitter or in possession of enchanted knitting needles and very specialized gloves. The reality is actually much more complicated, but no less awesome. Milne invented her glass knitting technique back in 2006. It’s a process that involves knitting with wax instead of glass, followed by lost-wax casting, mold-making and kiln-casting.

First, a model of the sculpture is made from wax which is then encased by a refractory mold material that can withstand extremely high temperatures. Next, hot steam is used to melt the wax, leaving behind an empty cavity in the shape of the artwork. Pieces of room temperature glass are then placed inside the mold which is then heated to 1,400-1,600 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the type of glass. Afterward, the piece is slowly cooled over a period of several weeks, followed by a careful excavation process, where Milne delicately chips away like an archaeologist to reveal the final piece.

To check out more of Carol Milne’s extraordinary artwork visit the Glass Art Society, Milne’s Facebook page or her online gallery.

NO.S PROJECT

Cats Are Deep Sometimes

god i love reading about stupid drama in ancient greece. like there was an athlete named theagenes who was so good at every kind of athletic contest that when he died, one of his opponents would go to beat the shit out of a statue of him out of spite, but then one day the statue fell on the guy and killed him so the greeks took the statue to court for murder, convicted it, and threw it into the sea

SURPRISE 420 RAFFLE!!!

i’m so shook!! how do y’all enjoy my messy writings? i’ll never know.. i have no way to explain how grateful i am for all of u, so why not party!! i’m always 100% open and here for u all. i love u all so much, thank you for supporting me;;

rules:

you must be following me!! it wouldn’t make much sense if you weren’t;; i obviously can’t prevent follow/unfollows but that’s just taking my hard work !! so please be honest!

reblog this post, only once! i don’t care what blog it’s on, but i’m not doing multiple entries because that might confuse me. you can like for an extra entry tho!

when you reblog, let me know your favorite character, just so i know beforehand if i cant write for it or not!

i’m gonna pick 3 random winners by September 27th, and i’ll make a post announcing them!!

for fics i can write self inserts or ships, we can discuss that after i’ve chosen the winners!

there’s no places or anything, because the length of the fic depends on your prompt, so all of them will be over 500-1k words. i’m a student and i’m very busy, so you might have to be patient with me tho!

if i forgot anything pls let me know! i’d be more than happy to explain! 💗
