Crushin’ It

Aight so I posted some colors over in my WIP acc on Twitter, a lot of people kindly gave their picks. I won't be going off on the most votes but the way I interpret some color combos changed after reading all the feedback. It gave me an idea of what vibe I wanted to go for thanks to all the replies I've received

Some questions for the resisdent humans.

Gender transition is broadly socially acceptable and medically supported in Jovia, though political attitudes on it vary. The common conservative attitude is that there are three genders: male, unisex, and female; and the only legitimate goal of gender transition is complete surgical sex reassignment. Working reproductive organs can be grown with an individual's DNA, and the most normative way to transition is "match" your sex organs with your chosen gender. Obviously it gets more complicated than that in practice, though, because not everyone is interested in "matching," nor can everyone who transitions take on the risk of major abdominal surgery. There is also an overall perception that the older you are when you decide to transition (or god forbid if you transition more than once) the more undignified it is, and the more inconvenient it is for the other people in your life. So Gillie had a very normative transgender experience for Jovian culture, except for her surgery aversion; while Mel had a very normative medical transition but had to deal with a lot more social friction.

Because of that L-bend it's more safe for Gillie to stick a swab in her ears than it is for you. She can't stab herself directly in the eardrum.

Idrisah has way more books than the average Jovian because she's a history nerd who is interested in stationary and manual writing, relatively niche hobbies.

I've completed my Project Hail Mary rebind!

I'm super happy with it! It's a little botchy around the edges and definitely wonky in places (and there are quite a few mistakes that I can neither unsee nor correct) but, considering it's my first proper rebind, I'm really freaking happy with it!

More glamour photos and some in-progress shots under the cut...

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

silly thing that i think i hadn't included yet in my other posts

Bubble did not do that on purpose..... But have a colored version of Caine's pajamas

I wanted to draw today but didn't know what. I looked at the dino list and it said Rainbow Lorikeet and then I said heck yeah!

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.
