Hello, this is me, Summer. My hobbies include obsessing over fandoms, losing at board games, writing crap, and sometimes writing actual crap. My blog's just a scrapbook of stuff I like. This is a side-blog, and I will not be able to follow you with it.
In retrospect, a surprising addition to the 2005 film Constantine was an appearance by IRL model turned bounty hunter Domino Harvey (the woman on the right) as part of a sapphic angel/demon couple in Papa Midnite's club when Keanu's titular Constantine visits the place.
Sadly Domino would pass away of a drug overdose at the age of 35 several months after the release of Constantine, and several months before Keira Knightley portrayed her in a (sadly apparently not very good) biopic based on her life.

i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.
shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3

Zatanna #7 by Jamal Campbell and Yasmine Putri. Cover by Campbell. Variant covers by (2) David Talaski, (3) Riley Rossmo and (3) Javier Rodríguez. Out in October.
"THE LADY WHITE RETURNS! In search of revenge, the ghostly vampire puts her plans into motion and drags Zatanna into a fight with a ruthless new foe that threatens to push the Prime Magus to the brink. Blood will be spilled. Blood will be consumed. And blood ties will be revealed!"
A pride flag was one of the quilting projects I really wanted to get done, and it works great as a scraps buster.
This is roughly 40 by 65 centimetres (about 16 by 26 inches) and quilted in the ditch with thin cotton batting. I wish I'd used rainbow thread for the quilting, but I didn't have any on hand, and the goal was to not buy any new materials.
Under the cut: diagram and process.
HST = half square triangle; S = square.
The pieces are listed on the diagram above, but here they are again:
Light blue: 10 HST
Light pink: 6 HST
White: 2 HST
Brown: 12 HST
Black: 12 HST
Red: 1 HST, 7 S
Orange: 1 HST, 6 S
Yellow: 1 HST, 5 S
Green: 1 HST, 5 S
Blue: 1 HST, 6 S
Purple: 1 HST, 7 S
The HST are 9 cm (≈3.5 in) and the squares are 8 cm (≈3.14 in). I used a 5 mm (≈0.2 in) seam allowance. I recommend using a bigger seam allowance if you’re making a larger quilt, or one that will be used as a blanket or as part of a wearable piece.
I worked by washing, pressing, and cutting all my fabric into the necessary pieces. I then assembled all my HST into squares, then pressed the seams open, and squared the squares down to 8 cm (≈3.14 in). I assembled those squares into 1x1 pieces, pressed, squared. Those were assembled into 2x2 pieces, pressed, squared. Then into 2x6 bands, pressed, squared. Then into 4x6 bands, pressed, squared. I then assembled the three resulting bands (two 4x6, one 2x6) and pressed and squared one last time to finish the quilt top.
Some progress pictures to clarify what I mean by 2x6 or 4x6 bands:
After all HST were assembled into squares. I recommend taking pictures of your fabric set up before sewing, so you remember which order you wanted to put your squares in.
4x6 piece and nine 2x2 squares, partway through assembly.
Assembling bands together. Press your seams!
The finished quilt top.
I used the bi flag as a backing, but feel free to do a one-sided flag and use the backing of your choice. I know there’s cute pride-themed quilting cotton out there, or just a plain colour would work as well.
I don’t have a diagram for the bi flag: I used 8 cm (≈3.14 in) squares, 16 blue, 8 purple, and 16 pink. Those were assembled similarly, as I find working in full bands results in irregular points.
A similar process could be used to make any pride flag of your choice! I might make a trans pride one eventually. This is a really good stash-busting project, and a cuter alternative to a polyester flag. Please send me pics or tag me if you sew one!
Happy pride, and don’t forget to press your seams.
Okay, so when I saw this, I was like, "The 'i' stands for 'internet'??" because I remember back when the iMac—the first of Apple's 'i' products—launched, and my impression was that the 'i' was more about the individual: I, me.
So I got curious and went down a little rabbit hole. Most unofficial sources say that, yeah, the 'i' was for internet, but again, that doesn't have the Apple vibes I remember from back then. Long before the iMac, there was the famous 1984 Apple commercial directed by Ridley Scott that ran during the US Super Bowl, which was all about individuality/breaking the mold/etc.
Anyway, I found this post from 2011 on the Apple community forum:
And I felt like that list of multiple meanings seemed more on-brand. Plus, user danielpena mentioned a specific keynote speech, which made it easy enough to look up. I found the transcript and video of the full keynote, and took a screenshot of the slide mentioned above:
So yeah, the 'i' does stand for 'internet,' but it was also meant to stand for 'individual,' 'instruct,' 'inform,' and 'inspire.' Congratulations, everyone is right! 😂
The only Apple product I've ever owned was an iPod, and I'm the farthest thing from an Apple fanboy that you can be, so this was all new info to me!
