i wanted to try traditional animation for a while and heres a cute little guy inspod by sonnyelim ; 3 and here are the seperate frames as well

make a soft dough (5:3.5 flour to water, 500g:350ml is dad's usual) and knead only until it holds together. there is no leavener in this recipe, I asked.

let rest for 10-15 minutes

chop up a bowl of scallions (you will need to make this recipe a few times to figure out how much you like in the recipe)

roll dough out to a large rectangle roughly 3-5 millimeters thick

pig lard is traditional but really you can use any neutral oil, brush on a uniform layer over the dough

sprinkle some salt over the dough (do your best here dad never measures this one. just remember it's better to undersalt)

sprinkle all of the green onions onto the oily dough as even as you can

roll up the rectangle of dough widthwise

now comes the REALLY approximate part. Dad says that the length of roll you cut off entirely depends on how big your pan/wok is and what the diameter of your rolls are. For instance, if your roll is about 5 cm in diameter and 10 cm in length, you'll get a pancake roughly 25ish cm in diameter, and if you have a pan too small for that it's gonna be awkward to fit. The best I can tell you is cut the rolls longer than they are wide unless you want tiny baby pancakes

next you're gonna take each roll and tuck in the oily cross sections, not unlike wrapping up a bao bun but instead of the pinched ends coming to a point, they're gonna be tucked inwards

from there, you flour up a rolling pin and get to rolling, get them around 3-5 mm thick.

Oil up a pan and fry up your pancakes. Before you flip the pancake, make sure to the oil up the uncooked side. Dad doesn't have a temp to give me but he cooks ours on medium using an induction stovetop

I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.

I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.

Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.

Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.

The closer I am to finishing and not wanting to undo 2h worth of work to change that one single into a double, the more likely I am to go "well. That's the demons stitch then isn't it", and leave it be.

The idiom "Persian flaw", meaning a deliberate mistake said to originate from the notion that Persian weavers would intentionally leave imperfections in each rug in the belief that only God's creations are perfect, and to weave a perfect rug would be an insult to God.[67]

"Your handmade items should always have at least one mistake, to keep you safe from the fairies." There is also a (disputed) Amish version of this, which is that all handmade items should have a deliberate mistake because only god is perfect. Navajo weavers have a similar tradition, in order to preserve their creativity: After the year 1900, the "spirit line" became a popular element for many traditional Navajo weavers…The traditional weaver became very concerned about trapping their creative spirit within the weaving and not being able to weave in the future. The "spirit line" is a small strand of yarn of contrasting color that flows from the inner design element of the weaving to the outer edge. The custom continues today in many contemporary Navajo rugs.

The Native American women who have traditionally created intricate, beadwoven pieces intentionally string on a bead of the wrong color in a pattern. This bead is called a spirit bead. The spirit bead was placed in an otherwise flawless piece of art as an act of humility, a way of recognizing the inherent imperfection of humans. Presuming the human could create something perfect would be an affront to the true perfection of the gods.[*]

Everyone knows the fae will come and steal away people wearing perfect knitting. By including some mistakes in the finished piece, the imperfection/asymmetry will confuse the fairies, and keep your loved one safe.

Stop backing up my fucking files.

Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.

Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.

I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.

I tracked down a copy of this invaluable classic and somehow got my hands on a near pristine copy secondhand from the 4th printing. It’s lost the dustjacket, alas, but that means I got it for like £5 and not the £4200 a first edition printing in fine condition goes for.

(Who’s the author? *looks at smudge on spine* uhhhh Mkkhill Montanann)
