Now war is declared, and battle come down

2. they're going to favor their sighted side, obviously, but it doesn't always manifest in the way you think. when I walk down a hall I walk much closer to the wall on my sighted side than on my blind side. which is the opposite of how it might seem logical to do that bc it means the world at large is on your bad side, but the reason is I can't fucking See the wall if it's right next to me in the blind side and I end up knocking into it.

3. door frames and poles are my enemy. If your character is smart this will not be a problem but for me it is. I am King of walking into shit I could absolutely see but couldn't tell how far away from me it was. on this note, their blind side hand is getting bashed into every jutting out thing in a 5 mile radius.

4. having 0 depth perception is less of a big deal than you'd think it is. Especially with driving. I've become a Much safer and more wary driver because I can't tell how far the other cars are from me. however I fucking suck at parking now. because I can't tell how far the lines are from me either.

5. you know how people who lose limbs get phantom pains? that happens with eyes too but like. phantom sights. for me it's like. a lot of bugs. like every so often my brain will just put something suddenly skittering beside me there. hate that.

6. it is completely possible to "get stuck" somewhere because your ability to tell how wide a space is is just Gone. shopping isles especially where bumping something or Someone is matter of embarrassment or potentially breaking something. it can be legitimately paralyzing and also irritate everyone around you because they can tell there is Plenty of space for you to get your cart through even if you can't.

Hey y'all, uh, know how your captain lost his eye, right...?

Fallen London has a few recurring events, one of which involves a bomb run that accidentally awakens an angry zee creature... but THIS time had a SURPRISE TWIST of instead awakening A FLEET OF SHIPS OVERTAKEN BY EYE-STEALING SPIDERS that have amalgamated to pilot them and menace London's waters.

like, light is law. both in game with the correspondence and in that seeing, labelling is an exercise of power— limiting the person percieved, taking some level of control away from them.

And to be seen, then, is to be controlled, to have the labels and rules and expectations of others imposed on you (on the surface, being labelled a man or a woman and all that entails, and in a more cosmic sense, having a place on the great chain) and to be limited to that, with deviation strictly punished (e.g. being literally vaporised by thesunthesunthesun or the social censure and legal punishments of surface victorian england)

Shot silk (also called changeant, changeable silk, changeable taffeta, cross-color, changeable fabric, or dhoop chaon (lit. "sunshine (and) shade")) is a fabric which is made up of silk woven from warp and weft yarns of two or more colours producing an iridescent appearance.

Neathy Fashion Coalition - Volume 6

A hook fastened and a ribbon tied, and yet so soon after such delicate details will be hidden away through layers galore. Fashion is often remembered for its grand silhouettes, its glittering jewels, its dramatic entrances- Yet every ensemble begins somewhere quieter. And the dressing room door opens, if only for a moment.

And there we have! Thank you all for joining me for Under Lock and Lace. As always, it has been a delight to see the creativity, craftsmanship, and character that everyone brought to this prompt. Seeing so many different takes on the topic was a delight, and I must express my extra delight in that of ruffles and lace~

Within this compilation you will find every submission for the sixth volume of the Neathy Fashion Coalition, complete with links to the artists' original posts and urls. If anything appears incorrect or missing, please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to amend it promptly.

All Glory to the Dawn Machine

Now Portable! (Element of Dawn not included.)

I finally finished up this bag! It took a bit longer than I anticipated, because I got really into working on that front panel, but I learned a lot and I'm very happy with how it came out.

Got a couple of fun shots with the bag here.

And a little handful of Correspondence that I clipped to the zipper - gotta keep the Dawn Machine regulated if it's going to be portable, after all.

And then, here's a bonus shot that I got while playing with the camera settings (cw for eyestrain):
