"what is this BABY doing in space!???"

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

This book has reached its recipient, so I can share pictures now! This is Deadset by @pbaintthetb, an amazing Nie Huaisang fic in which Nie Huaisang is murdered and becomes a tgcf-style ghost.

I did a kintsugi-look binding for a different calamity au (ironically, one in which Jin Guangyao was the ghost) but spoilers, this was the fic that I first thought of using it for. And while my first attempt was just a surface design on the cover, I built this into the structure of the book itself. The cover structure is inspired by Ben Elbel's "pixel binding" which is a book cover made of many tiny squares; using irregular pieces here makes it not quite as flexible, but I'm still very happy with the effect.

The individual sections of the cover were glued to a thin, flexible paper, then covered with a decorative paper that I worked down into the spaces between (definitely use paste rather than pva for this). The gold is deco foil, often called toner-reactive foil but it adheres to dry pva as well, so I simply filled the channels with pva and then applied the foil using the head of a pin to apply pressure (you don't need heat when applying it to pva).

For the rounded spine, I used leather pieces so that I could still have the thickness but they would be flexible enough that I wouldn't have to sacrifice the irregular shapes.

They share a braincell when working together. That braincell would have ended the war, had it been canon.

i cant be normal about anything i like ever . it has to consume me like evil mold

1) decides to guy fawkes the emperor on new years with absolutely no follow through plan or end goal other than killing him in the most dramatic way possible. just fuck this guy in particular yolo. and he was right to say so

2) when he shows up to rescue yujin from The Birthday Party Of Despair the marquis of ning is like you can't come in i have a handwritten plaque from the emperor that says no one is allowed to be mean to me :) and marquis yan just turns and looks at it in silent contempt and is like 'okay...anyway...' and keeps walking up the stairs while two small armies cower around him

3) the scene where mcs is like wanna join my big plot to put my bf on the throne and he's like this has zero personal benefit for me and will ruin my comfortable retirement but i really fucking hate the emperor so sign me up lol

4) when he stalls xia jiang during the prison break thing he waits until enough time has passed and then just gets up and is like fuck this fuck you i'm out and walks off immediately. the pure contempt rolling off him is inspiring. then he gets a heartwarming father&son moment to watch xia jiang run through the woods on foot because yujin stole the horses

5) in the running to be the only good dad in the show, which like, yes, he did neglect his son for 20+ years but he's trying now and the bar is really THAT low

6) in the hunting lodge siege when everyone is freaking out he's the one who takes control and is like listen bitches if the enemy comes through the door we are going to stab the shit out of them so everyone had better grow a pair real fast... this is mostly aimed at the emperor and also 100% gets things back under control

7) was the backup for reading the letter at the end which, okay i wouldn't change how it actually went down for anything, but man he would have enjoyed that so much. i bet they didn't even have to get halfway through asking him to be the backup before he was like fuck yes i want to ruin that man's birthday party so hard

Es hängen jetzt sogar Schilder dort:
