How Dreary To Be Someone

After three years of PPD/PPA/OCD, I’ve finally reaccessed my imagination. Yay.

the thing about fiber art that nobody tells you about is that every single kind of fiber art is a gateway drug to other kinds of fiber art.

I hurt my wrists crocheting cause I was bored of knitting so now I’m cross stitching cause my spinning wheel needs to be readjusted from the humidity and I can’t go thrifting for quilt fabric but what I really want to do is set up my back strap loom but like that’s such a project, ya know?

I spent the week repairing and making a dress for my old baby doll. I believe she was first purchased in 1997-98. Since she has a cloth body, it was pretty simple to sew her limbs back on with bias tape, although it did hurt my fingers! The dress is an improvised pattern, and I also made her a bloomer from Drops Designs. I hope to give her to my daughter on her birthday later this week!

My husband takes every Star Wars Day off and I can’t wait for my kids to be old enough to be super confused that it’s not a real holiday.

Everyone enjoy your Star Wars Day Weekend!

i think my worst knitting habit is maybe the way i store my Travel Projects™. no point protectors, no concern for the project, i just ball everything up & stab the needles through random places to hold it all together & keep my live stitches safe & it floats loose in my everyday shoulder bag & i absolutely risk poking myself with tiny steel spikes every time i go for my wallet.

That’s the only way to fly, bayBEE

I personally am devastated every time by the “if I’d married anyone it would have been her” line cause WHAT DO YOU MEAN my boy Sam went on this journey with everything to lose and never told anyone about it??

Look, I’m not saying anything. But I just watched Andor season 2 and there’s something there about laying down your life for a cause, there’s something about stepping into a destiny that doesn’t seem to be made for you, there’s something there about carrying hope (on your back or in your heart?) when no one else will, there’s something there about showing the ones with the heaviest burdens that the things they do have meaning.

The Count of Monte Cristo: I have been preparing my plan for years and there is nothing I don’t know! This is MY Dark & Gritty Revenge Story, I am writing it and everyone else is only ink under my pen!

Maximilien Morrel: oh, so you know about my Romeo-and-Juliet subplot?

The Count of Monte Cristo: your what

My favourite thing about Éowyn and Faramir is that when Éowyn tells Faramir she’s in love with Aragorn, his response is basically “well duh, who isn’t.” He truly gets Éowyn, not only because he has similar experiences with despair and grief, but also because the two of them feel the exact same way about Aragorn.

Strictly, canonically speaking, Faramir isn’t in love with Aragorn, but his old-school Medieval fealty has the level of passion and intensity that a modern reader tends to associate with romantic love. (Though of course he isn’t an outlier in a series about passionate friendship and fealty.) The first time Faramir ever saw Aragorn, in the Houses of Healing, “a light of knowledge and love was kindled in his eyes” and he immediately volunteered to do anything his king asked of him, even though he had just woken up from life-threatening illness and probably didn’t have the strength to get out of bed under his own power. And what he offers to Éowyn, among other things, is this: you can continue to love Aragorn as your king and captain, we can both love him that way, and love each other with a quieter peacetime love.

My husband, who hadn’t seen any of Ioan Gruffudd’s work other than The Fantastic Four, experienced his Actual Accent for the first time and was like wow, some people really do have +5 to charisma.

Horny for ever!

I think the first time Boromir was glad he did the whole “I’m OLDER and I said it LOUDER” thing with the prophecy was when he tried to take the ring, Faramir would never have been strong enough to do that!

And the second time he was glad was when those arrows started hitting.

I’m on a real Lord of the Rings kick, listening to the musical again.

Which reminds me of when my sister (who I was/am extremely close with) got married and I was fine, really doing great, until we ran late and the pianist played Now and For Always as last minute background music. Imagine waiting to walk your Emotional Support Person down the aisle to that soundtrack.

Unquestionably, the best part of the Odyssey is when Athena is like, I gotta bring back the SPARK to this guy’s marriage, I gotta remind him, I gotta get some JEALOUSY going, imma make Penelope look super hot.

And Penelope is like, wow, I’m feeling super hot today, I better go TAKE THESE LOSERS WHO WONT LEAVE MY HOUSE FOR EVERYTHING THEY HAVE

And Odysseus is like, !! Look at my beloved wife, conning these losers!

Look, all IM saying is Dracula had a charming, friendly younger brother (Radu the Handsome! Apparently a nice dude, other than the massacres and betrayals) who betrayed him and took his kingdom and like MAYBE ruining the whole life and/or undeath of a charming, friendly, and handsome young Englishman after a perceived betrayal (the shorthand note to Mina) is enough motivation without some nonsense reincarnation romance subplot??

Every episode of Colombo is just “how will this lil guy, a mere fellow, catch this Rich Horrific Criminal Asshole?”
