This is in my bio but DO NOT follow me or interact with me if you are an anti or a minor - if I find out you’re either of these things it’s an instant block.

I engage in nsfw content so no minors, and I don’t do ship discourse and do not condone it in any capacity so no antis 🙌

another bind under my belt: reset my patient violence (and other stories) by tsunderestorm! featuring dustjacket illustrations by @batkingsalem and the photography of Alfred Stieglitz.

this is a lovely, smutty GuitarPrincess fic series that was very fun to read and very fun to typeset and bind as well! I tried out a lot of new things for this bind and am happy with the end result — it's not perfect by any means, but I'm still proud of it! more about the binding style and methods used under the cut.

this was typeset in microsoft word, printed on my canon inktank printer, and bound in a full-cloth casebinding. the inset paper label is the same paper as I used for the textblock, which is short-grain off-white paper from ChurchPaper. the endbands are hand-sewn in the faux double-core style using a leather cord as the core and embroidery floss for the colorwork. the dustjacket is heavy drawing paper buffed with a turpentine/beeswax mixture to give it a bit of gloss and protect it from discoloration and dust. altogether, the bind is about an inch thick at ~320 pages and its dimensions are quarter letter (4.25x5.5 inches).
