would you believe me if i said these are actually trousers

[emryspaperart]

i havent taken a photo of them yet because i need to bully my brain into keep going with the rest of the outfit (with only 2 weeks to get it all done) but the final version of these are done!!!!

[emryspaperart]

i wish i knew where i'd stored this after my mum gave it to me a few years ago because i want to scan it in properly but skjsgasdgsd who wore it better

[emryspaperart]

happy pride to baby moth lmao

small statement maybe more for myself but probably extends to others. artists dont like when you compare their fanart or oc art to other characters, its disheartening. you have every right to do that out of artist-eye/ear-shot but artists read their tags, their replies etc and its baffling some people dont realize that! they see everything you reply or tag! i know most people dont think about it when they do it but its not something an artist who worked very hard on an original work of a character wants to hear, imo!!

Reminds me of this interaction I had that still ticks me off weeks later, agsjdjhgjfj

some hand felling practice w/ polyester thread (the closed seam) + linen thread (the hem) because while i have accepted that i need to machine sew the seams for this split skirt, i really don't like how any machine sewn raw edge clean up look or hold up with wear, so!

both of these took about 20mins each, which feels manageable with the skirt even though. there is A Lot of seams to close up lol. im probably gonna stick with the polyester thread for this one because it was a bit faster and i'd rather save the linen thread for when i can use it for smth entirely handsewn.

mockup update:

significant amount of floor time (despair edition) happened

pieces all cut out

the back pleats are pressed and basted down

the button hole plackets are made and pressed

the button hole stitch setting doesnt like this thread but the extra bobbins are in my grandma's room so i can't get a spare one to use a different thread rn

so im going to bed. fanfic time i guess

repostober day 1: an old yoi gift exhange piece ft the iconic makkarons. i remember i made this with a trackpad on my grandad's abysmally low-end laptop lol

Nothing to see here!✨

[emryspaperart]

the mix of perfectionist anxiety, execdys, fatigue, and trying to play catch-up on life admin from when i was sick really does make the worst flavour of art block

[emryspaperart]

hiii i've put together some sets of the marbled paper scans i've made over the last couple of years and have uploaded them to my ko-fi!!

they're free and you're welcome to use them for basically any kind of art.

[emryspaperart]

local idiot experiments with making patterns out of marbled paper scans on a lark; does not actually save the pattern tiles, only screenshots them; regrets it immensely because trying to recreate these ones exactly with the digital kaleidoscope machine is impossible

At the end of the day: If I make an original post on MY OWN BLOG, then when I click on the notes of MY POST on MY OWN FUCKING BLOG, I should be able to see absolutely EVERY SINGLE piece of engagement with MY POST that has EVER happened. The fact that even by clicking on MY OWN ORIGINAL POST I can't see all the commentary that has been added to MY POST is unacceptable.

[asexualbrigadier]

big shout out to tumblr for being the first major site in like two years to implement an ill-advised "feature" nobody wants, likes or respects that doesn't involve AI

[prokopetz]

Interesting.

Under the new post model, flagging a thread's root post as non-rebloggable affects only the root post and any reblogs without comments; reblogs with comments which were made before the root post was made non-rebloggable now remain rebloggable, regardless of the root post's settings.

Further, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism at all for flagging a reblog with comments as non-rebloggable, not even by the reblog's own author; the upshot is that any post that's been reblogged with a comment even once effectively cannot be made non-rebloggable at all.

Between this and rendering nearly all non-first-order reblogs with comments undiscoverable to the author of the original post, I imagine harassment campaigns are going to have a field day!
