Alright my friends stay tuned for an episode we’re calling “Amy has the coronavirus, is on cold meds, and has decided this means the stars are aligned for her to handbind a dear piece of the fanfiction canon, My Immortal by xxxbloodytears666xxx (2006)
So far, so good: the book block has been sewn for a couple days now and I did not lose any fingers to the guillotine
I don’t have appropriately goffik endpapers but what I DO have is red (maybe red’s like roses?? Or maybe it’s a POOOOOOOL OF BLOOOOOD!! Pouring one out for you Enoby, you’d have loved the rwby intro) and I’ve also got this:
Time to see how well measuring and exacto-knifing go.
Most predictable problem; having trouble getting the mesh fabric to glue down. I have also lost my glue brush so it’s probably not helped that I am using my finger instead.
But when fabric and paper refuse to cooperate, they get squished by the Get Along sock
Alright I think the Get Along Sock worked. What did NOT work was my ability to cut straight but enoby was into bi guys anyway
Here is the book block sandwich. Hoping the glue in the mesh will hold the endpaper to the previous page.
Put the sandwich in another sandwich
And letting it cook for a little bit.
Alriight!! So far so good— spine is glued and dried and the fabric seems to be doing ok:
So now it’s time to prepare for brain surgery
This is going to require coordination and counting, two things I have NOT mastered this fine morning. Thoughts and prayers
I have already failed at using a metallic for a headband, so I figure, maybe I’ve learned something and can try again.
Went looking for some other thread to use as a second color and found a black that formerly belonged to a dearly departed family friend, who I am not sure I could have ever explained this project to
Side note: it took me like four minutes to figure out how to get the shiny thread off the spool so that’s a good sign
Right, so, as it turns out, making a headband with shiny metallic thread is only possible if you’re an octopus. Or at least better at this than me. Or possibly not shaky from lack of non-noodle foods.
Image description: a goddamn mess
SO I decided to cheat. With the help of a very tolerant housemate, I wrapped the thread around the twine on its own:
(Phone camera won’t focus that close but you get the idea)
And then sewed it on.
I am not confident it will hold up once I’ve cut the excess twine off, but we shall see.
Well, attempt 1 for doing a headband on the bottom was a failure. I was like, “a one color headband shouldn’t be that hard,” and then I promptly got it started wrong, so then I watched the first minute of DAS’s video and was like “I got this.”
Reader, I didn’t got this.
Previously I had tried doing a shiny one unassisted: experiments included taping the twine to the table on one end and clamping it on the other (didn’t work) and holding it between my toes (did work, but my core is not strong enough to keep holding my feet at the correct height. It was after this I tried the one color, but that’s when my housemate got up for a bathroom break and she kindly held the twine for me
On a related note, I always thought metal thimbles were far inferior to rubber ones because you lose the dexterity and grippiness. Turns out, when you REALLY need one is when you’re pushing a needle through 4 sheets of paper and some glue, bc a rubber thimble won’t do much to help with that. Enter, the thimble armor:
That’s a strip of fabric with dried glue on it. Works wonders. Reminded me of cloth armor and how people who recreated it had trouble cutting into it with a table saw or something
More glue is drying and I need to sleep for a bit I think
Right so what I decided today when cutting the cover boards is what this cover probably needs is at LEAST one pentagram. Possibly more than one. And they need to be hefty.
In theory the cricut maker can cut chipboard. I’ve never tried. We are finding out if it can make successful pentagrams. It’s been going for five minutes and is 1% done so I think it’ll be a while.
I didn’t have the type of grippy mat you’re supposed to so I just… taped it down with extra tape. Fingers crossed?
Meanwhile the spine is enjoying its time with the mull under the Get Along Sock. Or it will be if it knows what’s good for it >.<
(Pictured without sock)
(Maybe I should have added more tape???)
Ok so it turns out when you cut out cover boards you should notice that they’re, oh, NOT THE SAME SIZE before sanding. Caught it in time but now idk what I’m going to do with the leftover.
Pentagram is 39% done, but the book isnt naked anymore:
It’s back in the squisher
I feel like I did something out of order but idk what so uh fingers crossed here my good fellows
And we’re no longer naked!! While that’s pressing, I am going to find out if I can use iron-on vinyl on chip board. Because I think what we need here
Is some sparkly red accents
Nothing can possibly go wrong here
Completely failed to line up the iron on properly so now the pentagram gets an extra dimensional look
This might be one of the worst things I’ve ever done
I also glued the feathers upside down
Buuuut nothing to be done about that now so it will just look like it’s REACHING FOR YOU
The fishnets are on!! (Or as close as I could find.)
First I tried to glue it down on the inside under the endpapers, which technically worked but was very messy and I didn’t want to do it 6 times. So then I went for tape:
Which worked on one cover but not on the other.
So, one side is taped, and one side is tied together:
So this has been a fun process
The front monstrosity decoration is on, and getting squished.
GLUE LEAK GLUE LEAK GLUE LEAK
Sharpie to the rescue!!!
More or less
Next I shall continue to bend feathers backwards and gluing them down. Started this last night with PVA but I might switch to gorilla glue again
Hopefully they don’t break?????
I only have one binder clip (I swear I used to have two so who knows where it went) so I’m gonna have to glue them down three inches at a time
Instead of watching glue dry I’m going to go eat cheese out of the bag
Turns out the answer to “should I just use gorilla glue on the back instead of PVA?”… was yes. Cue several minutes of dabbing PVA out from around the fishnet. Gorilla glue is our friend. I might have to buy my housemate more because idk how much of this bottle I’m going through
this is how that revelation went in my head by the way:
Back under the sock to try and get these bits flattened down. I should have done this first BEFORE I tried to glue them to the back. So now I know next time I try to glue feathers around a spine.
Anyway I put the bone folder in between but there’s a non zero chance the sock is gonna get a bit glued to the book so… fingers crossed
The Sock might be nearing the end of its days, but it has served us here, more or less
Last step: gluing down the endpapers, which will cover the mess on the back of the covers in the same way that you can cover a crumbling cake with frosting. I.e. it’s probably going to be obvious there’s something under there but everyone is gonna be too distracted by the Horrors to notice.
So here we go:
And then it’s back to the Fezzik the book press for a few hours of squishing.
I really really hope the gorilla glue on the cover is as dry as it felt or else there’s gonna be foam glued to it
THE MONSTROSITY IS COMPLETE
Thank you all for accompanying me on– or at least tolerating– this journey. (And, in one person’s case, the mess on the floor.) More pictures are here
because if you think the outside is nuts
you’re going to fuckin’ love the inside

With the internet age, not only would being stuck in a groundhog day loop for 10,000 years be strictly positive, it might not even feel like enough time!
Am I the only one who fantasizes about being stuck in a time loop?
About how from everybody else's perspective you emerge the next day with a lifetime's mastery of hundreds of subjects? How you shoot to being the most famous author since you've expiremented with every possible scheme for getting the most likes on amateur sites for hundreds of years until one worked, how you suddenly arrive with scientific breakthroughs that revolutionize several fields, you're soon a chess grandmaster, a go 9-dan, the top player at all kinds of games and e-sports, speaker of all the major world languages...
The main problem with time loops in the past was getting bored but there is way more than 10,000 years of stuff to do online.
Time loop is a huge power fantasy daydream for me. It's even cooler than the standard fantasy of getting Isekai'd into a game world where you know all the mechanics front to back and can manipulate them to get to the top. Because it's basically that but for this world!
me, 10,000 years later having not mastered a single skill: oh.
