Currently about halfway through "bury our bones in the midnight soil" by V. E. Schwab , and really enjoying the amount of lesbianism so far 🙂‍↕️✨️

waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night: I FORGOT A MOM

I'm not super happy with how she came out -- in particular I think I broke style a little too much -- but at this point I need to call her done and maybe get back to her another day! in the meantime, the collection of moms is complete (for now) and there can maybe even be...a roadtrip round two??? 🚐

reminder: these are NOT edits and are not for free use; I drew and rigged her from scratch! please do not use these for your own edits or in your videos, thanks!!

It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.

I was surprised that I’d never heard of it though. It’s older than knitting and crocheting and even though it’s been done all over the world it’s super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it.

It’s also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isn’t really necessary.

The downside as a beginner is that undoing mistakes is more time consuming than with knitting or crochet. You’ve gotta like sew your mistakes out backwards. Disadvantages of making a really sturdy fabric I guess.

I like the feel of this bone needle though and don’t think I’ll be trying the wooden or metal ones.

Also I think I’m gonna have to get good at doing Russian joining if I decide to get good at nalbinding because I don’t have wool yarn and the ends won’t felt together if it’s not at least 50% wool. A small price to pay for using big bone needle though.

I mean, Silver is a human(!!!), but he's also adopted by Lilia (someone Baur respects a lot) and Sebek's only friend

If I'm not mistaken, Baur knows how Knight of Dawn looked like, so what did he think when realized Silver looks suspiciously KoD-shaped?

granted, things got pretty wacky when they were escaping the castle, he might not have actually processed what Dawnathon's face looked like! although I guess it is the kind of thing that sticks with you through the centuries, and if anyone was gonna notice...

(continuing my "old Bauru looks exactly the same but with a BIG mustache" agenda)

alternatively, he's gotten a lot better, but his daughter is still working with him on...certain things involving humans.

and secondly! sometimes i think about octotrio’s whole dynamic with one another and it sometimes just makes me go AUGHSHHHEHHAGWHAHA they make me ILL i need to EXPLODE because while they go “oh yeah we’ll just leave each other when it gets boring” you can really see how much they care for one another (even if it’s in their own silly way. the octotrio are the silliest freaks like that and i love them for it ⭐️). ITS EVEN MORE EVIDENT IN BOOK 7!! they have so much trust in one another its so AUSGHHHHHHHH

thank you! :D and YES 1000% AGREE, my favorite thing about them hands-down is that the reason Jade and Floyd feel free to mess around and give Azul such a hard time is precisely because they have so much trust in him and his ability to get them out of any situation (with a net profit to boot). dealing with their sabotage is enrichment for Azul.

and of course that bit in their arc in 7 where Azul is getting eaten by the Darkness and they're just like. ha ha. :) can't wait to see how you get out of this one. :) any minute now. :) :) ...A-Azul???
