the best thing you can do to a character make them averse to touch and absolutely starved for it

[fillianore-moved]

so metropolitan museum of art has a register of books they’ve published that are out of print and that you can download for free! they’re mostly books on art, archeology, architecture, fashion and history and i just think that’s super useful and interesting so i wanted to share! you can find all of the books available here!

yeah i like to give my blessing to the most pathetic looking weak little knight at the tournament. she can’t even look me in the eye when i give her my flower and she stutters out that she’ll do her best or something of the like. i think its funny when she has to cry and beg my forgiveness and i get to say “such a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone else…” and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea-

did she just win.

Keeping an alive tumblr in 2026 is proof of one's sincerity and authenticity - a type of person who enjoys posting for the sake of it with absolutely nothing to be gained....just the enjoyment of curation and self expression untainted by opportunity and relevance

Crafters Beware!!!

This is the worst thing I've ever discovered. it's going to be so detrimental to me.

http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/

It has every antique hobby I'm interested in, in one place. FOR FREE!!!!

You're welcome

Edit: I’ve noticed they have a donate option but I personally haven’t yet verified that they’re legit/still active since I’m not in the US and idk where to look to verify an NPO over there.

Anything in the US before 1924 is under public domain/creative commons. Which means, this stuff is all before copyright. So, it is legit 100% free. For designers like myself, it is a GOLD mine for creative inspiration, and the ccross stitch selection (with 90% of the patterns downloaded on my server) offers a VAST array of various elements one can steal for various patterning.  Public domain is your friend! so, check out these awesome public domain sights for all the book nerds!

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ <-- I have fund this site particularly useful in finding decorative borders that I could incorporate into patterning! 

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page <-- this site has a treasure trove of public domain, but because it is so massive, it can be a BIG rabbit hole, and one that can be tricky to navigate. But still worth it.

I am sure there is more, but that’s all I got so far!
