The Enemy of Mine... Isn't He of Your Kind?

Finally completed the Thor wrap which took almost as long as the dang Bacara shawl (though at least there weren't cables this time).

Pattern: Stonecatcher Wrap by Erin Kurup

Based colorwise off a mix of the Dark World armor and the Ragnarok look with the lightning. I chose this pattern in part because the diamond part reminded me of the scale armor he wears on his arm and I liked the more rectangle shape for him.

And with the Loki shawl because they should always be adopted together:

Loki shawl pattern: Brontë Sister Shawl by Lindsey Fowler. I completed it several years ago but I don't think I ever gave it its due here.

I picked this pattern because of the criss-cross section of the lace which echoes the way his armor does in multiple places in hisAvengers/Dark World armor in particular.

i was a freshman in college and i had this history teacher who was ~edgy~ and his hotness level on ratemyprofessor was off the charts and he was the first teacher i ever heard use the word “fuck.” anyway he would do this thing every so often where we’d have a “quiz” and the first two questions were always really easy and the last one was hard - they were all similar questions, and the point was to show what you learn about history and what you don’t. 

so one day he’s like okay kids time for a quiz and the first question was who killed abraham lincoln. the second question was who killed JFK. third question was who killed william mckinley. 

we all take a few minutes and write down our answers, and then the teacher asks the questions again so we can shout out the answers. everybody answered the first two with really no problem.

now, keep in mind that this class was at 9 a.m. and i was exhausted All The Time during my freshman year of college so i sat in the back in my sweats and never said a word and the teacher definitely had no clue who i was. 

so you can imagine his surprise when he asked the class who shot william mckinley and without missing a beat i said, “czolgosz,” pronounced correctly and everything. 

my teacher froze and in a very stern voice asked, “what was that? what did someone just say?”

i repeated: czolgosz.

my teacher: “who said that?”

i raised my hand, and my super cool history teacher glared at me. he then asked me how the hell i knew the answer. he said that in the TWENTY YEARS he’d been teaching this stupid class, nobody, not A SINGLE PERSON, had ever known the answer to that question.

zine i made about being a boring queer!

nothing more natural than changing and evolving and learning and discovering things about yourself.

The oldest door of València'a cathedral, known as Porta de l'Almoina or Porta de Palau. It's easily recognisable because, being the oldest part of the building, it was built in the Romanesque style. Most of the cathedral was built in Gothic style, with some Baroque additions centuries later.
