These are smocking patterns. If you stitch these patterns into flat fabric and then pull the threads to gather the fabric, it will produce these patterns on the finished fabric. Smocking manipulates flat fabric into three dimensions.

The beautiful fabric that looked like dragon scales on costumes in the tv show Game of Thrones were produced by smocking, by sewing a particular pattern into the fabric and then pulling those threads just the right amount to gather the fabric into that pattern.

Neurotypical people watching the TB2 ending: I guess that made sense and stuff. Anywho… *gets on with their life*

Neurodiverse folks watching the T&B2 ending: what the fuuuuuuuck? *Scurries to poll other fans, reads every lengthy essay four times, begs creators to draw/write something better. Obsesses about it to the point it disrupts life*

Who woulda thought that the people whose brains are wired to seek out information and patterns would consume every bit of media on a character that comes across as socially awkward, highly empathetic, more than a bit gay, traumatized, is convinced he’s unlovable and unforgiveable, and who’s begging to be saved, would be distraught the series writers did him dirty?

It’s almost like said character is totally relatable on many levels to a certain set of folks. And that said people who also struggle to realize happiness are livid his healing journey to a happy life was discarded like a tissue in a Covid ward.

Fix-it fic for this travesty is group therapy.

neither “that’s not canon” nor “fuck canon we made this all up” but a secret third thing (canon shouldn’t be taken as gospel but is useful as a reference point for building upon and recontextualizing characters and details. if you worship the source material as unchangeable then fandom in general probably isn’t for you. if you have complete disdain for the source material you would probably enjoy yourself more in a different fandom)

"nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life" ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

[aropride]

what my atoms are doing is their fucking business man i'm busy trying to stop my dog from eating tissues directly out of the box

[duckbunny]

nuclei don't touch, but the nucleus is not the core of reality. reality is made of electrons dancing. reality is made of bonds.

you pet your dog and the atoms that are you brush up against the atoms that are him, and the electrons that are you press into the electrons that are him, and both of them change their movement.

electrons of course are not really particles and do not really move.

you pet your dog and the electron-orbitals of your skin overlap with the electron-orbitals of his fur, and both are changed by the contact. you are not made of little motes floating alone in a void. you are a single unfathomable chord formed of a trillion vibrations, and so is he. and the note you play is changing at every moment by what you touch and how you breathe, and so is his. and atoms do not really have edges, and to touch is to interact, and when you put your hand on your dog the universe does not know that you are separate. the song expands to hold you both.

Collection of Temenos & Ochette doodles inspired by this super cute post 😊

I tried to keep everything vague as to not spoil my friends who are playing/thinking of playing, but there are a lot of connections between their stories that I wish they got to talk about

Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.

AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻

**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**

Upon All My Remaining Honor

Crick Wellsley ventures to the depths beneath Flamechurch Cathedral to visit the resting place of the late Pontiff Jörg.

"It was out of character for him, but Temenos finds that he does not care that, when Roi and Pontiff Jörg are within reach, Temenos rushes up and hugs them both."

"Why does a 15-minute visit with a doctor cost 150 bucks in America???" you're gonna want to read Money-Driven Medicine, by Maggie Mahar, and probably also The Social Transformation of American Medicine, to answer that question. It is not because your doctor is a greedy bastard; your doctor does not see most of that money. It is because the system is broken to a level that is truly impressive in its dedication to making a shit ton of money for insurance company executives and shareholders.

#posts that should have 10k notes #a primary care attending makes on average around 200k a year #which is a lot! for sure! #(it's also on the low end for a physician as specialists usually make more than primary care and yes that's fucked up) #so that comes out to about $95 an hour: still a lot right?? #that means they're getting a little less than $25 for your 15 minute visit #where is the other $125 in this scenario going???? #of course there's stuff like paying the other staff and for the cost of the space and utilties #but the majority of it just goes to insurance companies for dividends to their shareholders #and that's AFTER a minimum of 7 years of training after undergrad #4 years of med school and at least 3 of residency for primary care #med school costs upwards of $50k a year #and residency pay varies a little but is typically between $50-60k a year #so when you're seeing a resident (and not an attending) for that $150 visit #they're getting about $7 for the visit #(and that's assuming the residents are working only 40 hours a week which is HIGHLY unlikely because they are exempt from overtime laws) #(tbh that holds true for the attending too but residents commonly work up to 80 hours a week) #anyway it is a misdirection by insurance companies to make the public think doctors are overpaid in the US #physicians are paid well worldwide - only in the US are healthcare costs out of control #it's because of our insurance system and the only meaningful solution is to get rid of it #I feel like I might be preaching to the choir on this rant but I hope you learned something anyway
