Quaple

What's this?! Another Locked Tomb shirt!? We decided to celebrate Sapphic September by making another design for our favorite lesbian space necromancers.

Here is our complete guide to curling a heat safe wig!

We specifically figured out this method worked best when styling this wig for my level 3 Imogen Temult cosplay. She's from campaign 3 of Critical Role. There are many other methods to curl wigs, but this is the one that got the best hold and our desired look on this particular wig! Of course, then I decided to cosplay Imogen at level 13 first and her hair is totally different so this wig is going in storage but at least we got to make a useful tutorial first.

We already have a video version of this tutorial up on our Tiktok and Youtube that we will move over to Tumblr, but honestly I struggle The Most with learning from video tutorials. I prefer things written out so we wanted to make this sort of tutorial as well for accessibility!

Additional tips & all of the products we use are under the cut. Feel free to shoot us a message if you have any questions or want more tutorials on wigs!

We talk Nic's book taste, which is a liiiittle hard to pin down since they are such a mood reader! We give some tips on how to pick your next book if you also struggle with mood reading as well as discussing the themes that Nic enjoys across any genre.

If you want to read Nic's book reviews, you can check out their Storygraph account. We also have a video about their favs so far this year coming out later this week, so stay tuned!

This video was too powerful to upload directly to Tumblr, so we've brought it over from Youtube so it'd still be play-able right here. If you'd rather watch on TikTok, click here! While you are there, you can check out our other videos.

We discuss Meghan's taste, which was the most straightforward to define: adult queer romance! We dive into the specific dynamics and subgenres that they are drawn to and tease them a little about their love for "high spice romance" aka very smutty novels.

If you want to read Meghan's book reviews, you can check out their Storygraph account. We also have a video about their favs so far this year already up on our TikTok!

We talk Gabe's taste, which basically boils down to: "That's fucked up, I'm into it!" From fantasy to horror to the only type of romance book they like to read (spoiler alert: it's monsterfucking), the central thread is they love fucked up lil guys and complex worldbuilding.

The rumors are true and we aren't just disembodied voices who briefly ran a polyamory / relationship advice podcast. We are now on Tiktok @ polycraftory!

This first video is introducing us and what we plan to talk about (TLDW: mostly books, but also crafting, cosplay, board games, D&D, fav media, and more). You can check out our Tiktok for more videos now! We already have a video posted for each of us introducing our taste in books.

Sorry for the long radio silence my friends, the last few years have really put our polycule through the ringer (but many good things happened as well!)

The Big Updates

We are married, we are 110% out of the closet in our day to day lives, and we have a new project: follow us @polycraftory! All of our links can be found at polycraftory.com (including the podcast links). We have started a crafting/cosplay/book blog that follows all of the crafts that we do as a polycule as well as our other interests and projects. The biggest thing we've launched is our Polycraftory Etsy shop where we sell queer and nerdy merch (including polyamory stuff!) We are also debating starting a tiktok so stay tuned.

Polycule Names

Now that we are completely out of the closet, we can use our real first names instead of the names we used on the podcast (though, I still also like our cute flower names so feel free to use either for Iris).

Iris is Meghan (she/they)

Sunflower / Sun is Nic (she/they)

Foxglove / Fox is Gabe (they/them)

one question I have tho: are planning on picking „heel on wheels“ back up again? I recently listened to the first episode again and got very curious again - completely understand if not though!

We are definitely going to drop all existing Hell On Wheels on the public feed asap (we were planning to last week and then the household came down with covid 😭). We are considering continuing the series as well! They are much looser and shorter form than And They Were Roomates was (we really wanted to give Good Advice and it is hard to find time where all of us have the brain and energy), so HoW feels very do-able. We might even play with the format (like, record them as videos for tiktok but then pull the audio to use in podcast form maybe?)

We have so many new designs for pride month and we wanted to celebrate with a sale to close out our favorite month of the year!

Get Your Pride Dice Skater Skirts Here

We dropped our first all over print patterns just in time for the last two days of our sale! If you, like us, are queer and play too many TTRPGs (a polycule is just a built in D&D group) we have the perfect skirt for you! Don't forget to let us know if we don't have a flag you want. We are planning to keep adding and will add any requested flags asap!

If you're feeling:

- Jealousy: fear of losing someone/something

- Envy: fear of missing out/lacking an experience

- Fear or Emotional Conflict of any type

It doesn't mean you're doing polyamory wrong. It doesn't mean you're any less polyamorous. It doesn't make you a bad partner to be HUMAN and to feel these very normal human things.

Communicate, communicate, communicate.

The way to address these things is security and reassurance within yourself and within your relationships, and the best way to find security and reassurance is to talk these things out.
