cry fun & let slip the dogs of whimsy

she's platonic about it but in my opinion, stratt 100% treats grace as her dead wife. she keeps a tacky fox trinket in her coat pocket. there's a framed photo of him in her study . he's grinning goofily in it (bc he's a dork). new guy like: is that her husband? / no, dumbass, it's dr. ryland grace, 1/3 of the hail mary mission. / oh, fuck. were they... ? / yeah, it's unclear. black-and-white montages of grace messing around in high-level meetings play every time stratt contemplates committing more environmental crimes. she looks up at the night sky and vaguely wonders if he's enjoying his space ramen. that's her dead wife. she killed him.

#i think stratt could be dramatic without meaning to be. like she's just going about her life.#god forbid she sees a fox trinket by the check out one of the few times she strays into the real world#and god forbid she pays $2.49 for it. and god forbid it stays in her pocket for the rest of her life (via OP)

Karim Diané as JAY-DEN KRAAG in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, episode 4 “Vox in Excelso”

[notsofrangible]

the world has been horrifying recently but i have personally witnessed something that brought me joy

Every year, California’s largest sheep and fiber festival, Lambtown, takes place in Dixon, CA. On the second day of Lambtown, teams of eight compete in a “sheep to shawl” competition, where the teams must start the day with un-spun wool and end the day with a 72” woven shawl. Teams may “warp” a loom ahead of time (where you thread the loom with its foundation of parallel threads), but on the day of competition they must spin their wool into yarn and weave it into a complete shawl.

This year competition was stiff, and very very close, and the winning team finished their shawl with two and a half minutes to spare.

I frequently hear about “needing to keep “politics” out of fiber arts, but art is inherently political.

These were beautiful, masterfully spun, woven, and finished shawls and that in itself is worthy of note.

But watching this team of eight would fight for hours, and pour their love for their community into their art was deeply moving and I am still reveling in the opportunity to have seen this win.

There are few things to rejoice in today, but they do exist. The horrors may persist, but so do we.

the sad thing about the episode where squidward teaches an art class is that spongebob receives greater recognition despite having no creative vision. his work is technically impressive, but his otherwise powerful imagination fails him, and thus he churns out derivative slop. the thomas kincaid of the sea.

[maxknightley]

perhaps it is inevitable that a young man who views minimum wage toil as A Calling would, without even realizing it, fall prey to reactionary narratives of what makes art "great." spongebob would be the perfect fascist subject - but a fascist state, ironically, could never accept him, since he is effeminate and physically weak

An accurate-ish color palette for Medieval textile colors, I don’t know. I’m no fibers expert, I just spent hours color picking pictures of traditionally dyed wools mostly to find out if I could plausibly dress a knight in orange and here we are, obviously feel free to use

Mutual pining is great, but you know what's even better? Mutual pining where they're both fully aware the feelings are requited, they just can't do anything about it for other reasons. Or maybe they technically could but they've had to choose not to, because of The Circumstances.

one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important

I just need everyone to see the expressions he makes in the little ice crystal when he hears Rook's voice for the first time and realizes someone might have finally come for him.

You know, for reasons.

All hail the prisoner rags mod and flycam for bringing us these fine goods in our trying times.

[dellamortal]

His expression is heartbreaking. He'd given up hope.

And then, he hears a voice.

"We're just here for Lucanis Dellamorte."

Someone has come for him. He can finally be free.

My feelings cannot be contained 😭😭😭
