Soft Paws
(Wanted to write something fluffy for my sweet Grim-boy. Sprinkled a few headcanons for Ramshackle itself from a few fics I’ve read in the past too.)

Being transported into a strange world full of magic and people who try to mock and tease you for not being able to wield it was tough at first. But as the days pass by and you gain a few friends to accompany you through a mine to replace a broken chandelier, you find yourself adjusting quicker than you would’ve first expected.
The ghosts were friendly and understanding. After the initial spooking on your first night, the ghosts were happy to have new company once again, and began helping you fix up the old, broken down dorm.
Grim, your little dire beast companion who would claim with tooth and claw that he was not a cat, (Or a Seal, Floyd), would help where his little soft paws could assist.
Soon enough, Ramshackle, the forgotten dorm on NRC’s campus, started to look and feel a little more homely.
Open Front Hoop Skirt tutorial
We’ve all seen it before: The scandalous, daring anime skirt that is completely open in the front, yet manages to defy gravity and remain obscenely poofy. Now, usually the fluffy skirts of anime girls everywhere can be handled by adding a hoop skirt or a petticoat underneath, but what are we to do about the open panel? No one wants their hoop skirt or petticoat to be seen, but without it, you lose the gravity defying poof that gives the character their signature silhouette.
Fear not my friends, for the open hoop skirt tutorial will now grant you a solution. To begin, I will say that I started my own open front hoop skirt following this tutorial here(It’s great and if you’re doing a full length hoop skirt, definitely check it out). The reason that I decided to make my own tutorial is because I picked up some extra tricks to make it work when you don’t have bendable plastic. Here, we will be modifying a hoop skirt rather than making one from scratch. First, grab your reference picture, and determine what shape/how long your need your hoop skirt to be. In my case, I was making Saber Nero’s cosplay from Fate/Extra:
Because her red skirt only comes to mid-shin or so, I knew that I didn’t need a full length hoop skirt. However, because we are taking out a section of the hoop skirt, I would recommend getting a long hoop skirt with a lot of hoops, and to cut off the excess. This is what I started with:
It’s a 6-hoop skirt from amazon, way too long, and completely the wrong shape. This is all fine, because we’re going to be reconstructing it. The first thing that I did was cut off all the excess after the 4th hoop. Take out the hoops, and serge the edges to stop the fraying. Don’t throw away the extra fabric and hoops–they will be used later on in the tutorial. This step is optional if you plan on keeping your hoop skirt long, but know that you might have to buy some extra boning for the last parts of this tutorial. Also optional, but this makes it a lot easier to handle the hoop skirt: Insert an elastic waistband instead of the ribbon tie on top. In my case, I had to seam rip the casing because it was too small for my elastic band, and sew down a larger casing. This was necessary for me because the skirt was going to sit very low on my hips. (And I just plain don’t like the ribbon ties.) Next, put the hoops back inside the skirt:
Now, the fun part! Mark where you want your hoop skirt to start. I used a tape measure to get it even on both sides. When you are satisfied with how it looks, cut away! (Don’t cut through the actual boning tho!) When you are finished, you can take apart the hoops and remove the panel that you have cut through.
It will look roughly like this! Don’t cut any of the boning yet, remove it from the hoop skirt. Serge all the raw edges.
Taking some heavy duty scrap fabric (I used a type of flat braid I found at Joanns), sew it to the edges of your hoop skirt to create a casing. Note: I actually left gaps between stitches on the inner layer so that the original hoop casings going perpendicular to the new casings weren’t cut off. That way, the new casing is giving extra support to original casing. Also, I didn’t show it in the diagram, but please remember to close the casing at the bottom of the hoop skirt. Optional: I took the extra fabric that I cut off from the hoop skirt, serged the raw edges, gathered it a bit, and sewed it on the halfway point around the hoop skirt and at the very top. This is solely for the purpose of hiding the hoops so that they don’t show through your fabric over the hoop skirt. Put your hoop skirt back on the dress form. Cut little holes right outside of the new casing you installed, and slide your hoops back in. If your boning is sharp, I very much recommend wrapping some tape around the edges to make it as dull as possible because there will be pressure applied to the fabric that the hoops hit. Once you have the hoop completely in place, cut a little bit past the point of where the hoop skirt ends, and tuck the edge into the casing (Don’t forget to dull the edge of the boning). Apply fray check to the holes you made and sew it up. Depending on the quality of your hoop skirt, you may have to do some hand sewing if the hoop casing is coming loose when you originally cut out the front panel. So, now your hoop skirt probably looks like the picture on the left:
How do we get that extra poof? Well, take your leftover boning, and insert it into the new casing you made like so:
The two blue pieces of boning will help create a strong end point for the hoops going around, while the orange piece will channel the blue ones and make them poof out. The longer your orange piece is, the better. As a result, your hoop skirt will now flare out a lot more! (Thank you lovely engineering boyfriend for this wonderful idea)
Now, your open front hoop skirt should be all set! Go forth and impress the world with your remarkable, floofy skirt! Please feel to message me here on tumblr or on my cosplay FB page (Istoria Cosplay) if you have any questions!

This is lovely, but don't forget your safety gear! A hot dye pot needs proper ventilation- dye outside, or with the vent fan on over your stove. Use gloves when handling freshly dyed fabrics- you can dye your skin by mistake. I usually like to gear up like a scientist- goggles, gloves, labcoat.
Above all, dye pots are not food pots! Do not use the pots you cook in for dying fabrics unless you know they are food safe dyes.
OSHA rules are there for a reason.
Any pots that are used for non-food related projects should not be used for food. Two different things I've had to use a pot for is dyeing fabric(lots of cosplay projects) and boiling driftwood(to kill off any potentially nasty things in the wood before adding it to my fishtank)

Wait what's a buildings fire evacuation plan if you aren't supposed to use the elevator to get down
You go down the stairwell/fire escape. Is that weird?
But what if you have a walker or a wheelchair??
in america at least, in this situation, there isnt one. either your loved ones or the firemen can get you out using the emergency fire escapes or stairs, or you die
That's fucking horrific, thank you
“fun” little story:
last summer my friend who is an amazingly talented artist and i were in this super tall building, and she’s in a wheelchair and i’m pushing her around the room. it’s an art exhibit and some of her art was chosen to be showcased there and so it’s all fine and dandy until suddenly an alarm starts going off
a FIRE ALARM
everyone starts running for the stairs and my friend just looks at me with this forlorn look on her face
“i can’t go down the stairs”
but i’m a stubborn bitch “i’ll carry you”
“what about my chair? it’s too expensive for me to be able to get another one if i can’t get this one back”
“i’ll carry that too”
and i did. we went to the stairs (by then most people from our floor were gone) and i lifted her up in a fireman’s carry over my shoulder and then lifted her chair up and used the ridiculous amount of adrenaline that was coursing through my veins to make it down approximately 20 half-flights of stairs until we met some people exiting lower floors, one of which who kindly took the chair. I changed positions so i was holding my friend bridal-style which was, somehow, easier and the person who took her wheelchair (with her permission to handle it of course) accompanied me to the ground floor and then out the doors
basically there is no real protocol for people who can’t use the stairs in an emergency. it’s up to the people with them, if anyone, to help them or the person to somehow make it down the stairs alone, unassisted
thank fuck that it was just a faulty alarm system, because if i was unable to carry her down those stairs and the building was on fucking fire???? then i don’t know what would have happened to her, but i don’t think it would have been very good.
it’s fucking ridiculous and ableist to the absolute max.
I use a cane. When I did a day-long fire safety training at my northeast American university (UMass Amherst), I asked that exact same question: “what am I supposed to do if the fire alarm goes off and I’m in my lab on the twelfth floor?”
the fire marshal hemmed and hawed for a while and then said to take the elevator- you’re supposed to leave it free for the fire department to use and they want able-bodied people out fast not waiting for elevators. if the fire alarm has just gone off the building probably hasn’t suffered enough structural damage to make using the elevator dangerous, and modern elevator wells are heavily reinforced. many large and high-trafficked buildings on my campus have fire rated elevators that link in with the fire alarm system so they won’t let you off on a floor with a possible fire.
if the elevator isn’t working, wait in the stairwell and call the fire department to let them know where you are. modern stairwells are also heavily reinforced- it might not be pleasant but modern building code usually requires fire-resistant stairwell doors in office and big residential buildings, also to help firefighters get in and out safely. older buildings’ stairwells may or may not be retrofitted with fire-resistant doors but a stairwell is generally the safest place to wait if you can’t get out.
what happened to your friend was horrible, and i’m very glad you were there to help her out, but you can absolutely use the elevator to evacuate if it’s not shut down. those don’t-use-the-elevator rules are for abled people.
This is GOOD TO KNOW. why do they not tell people this??
Okay, firefighter here. If you are not physically able to use the stairs, and the elevator is NOT compromised, use the elevator. But you MUST be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the elevator is NOT compromised before you get into it, because there is always the chance that once you get into it, you may not exit it. Power could go out. The elevator may actually BE compromised and you just couldn’t tell from where you were until you were in there, and it suddenly shuts down on you. Something else could happen.
Understand that once you enter the elevator, you could POTENTIALLY be taking your life into your hands there.
It is NOT LIKELY, to be perfectly honest. It’s only in a pretty catastrophic scenario - think the Twin Towers, USA, on September 11th - that the elevators will be compromised and out of service. But there is a NOT ZERO PERCENT CHANCE and you need to understand that and accept it.
As for leaving the elevators free for the firefighters, okay, here’s the deal. Unless your nearest fire station is literally right next door? Your first on scene fire truck is NOT likely to be there on scene and needing that elevator before you get to the ground. It takes us TIME to find the address, gear up, and drive to the building. Then we need to hoof it into where the elevators even ARE, so YOU HAVE TIME to use the elevator to get down to the ground floor... BUT ONLY IF THERE’S NOT A RUSH ON THE ELEVATOR! And THAT is WHY we don’t tell people this shit. That’s WHY we tell people to NEVER USE THE ELEVATOR... because every self-entitled asshole will use it because they don’t feel like walking, and then put YOU in danger by delaying the elevator’s arrival to you.
IF, however, the elevator IS compromised, or you just can’t get it to come for you, or whatever, and you either don’t have anyone with you who has the adrenaline fueled BALLS to be able to toss you over their shoulder and hoof it down the stairs with you - because, let’s face it, that is RARE AS FUCK, then HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
You call 911 and tell the call taker that you are in the building that has a fire alarm going off, and you are not able to evacuate because of a physical disability, and you tell them what floor you are on, and EXACTLY what stairwell you are waiting at. And the very FIRST thing that the firefighters are going to do once they arrive, if it is, indeed, a REAL emergency, and not a false alarm, is come get your ass and bring you down. Whether that means carrying you down the stairs, or whether that means locking out the elevators so that no one else can override them and coming to get you themselves, they WILL come get you FIRST THING if it is a real event. And if it is a false alarm? You will probably be the first person who is not involved with the building to know, because the call-taker is going to stay on the line with you until you are under someone’s care and out of danger, or until the scene has been sorted out as real or false, and you are out of danger that way.
These are pretty standard operations in the fire service throughout the United States. There may be some minor variations based on specific municipalities, but, for the most part, this is pretty typical: LIFE BEFORE PROPERTY. So, as long as SOMEONE knows where you are - hence why you call 911 - Firefighters will come get you. You are NOT alone, and you have NOT been abandoned. I PROMISE. It’s like, our whole reason for doing the shit we do: to save lives and to break shit. Sometimes, we get lucky enough to do both at the same time.
High rise fires suck ass, and I always hated them. But the very FIRST thing I asked anytime we got one was if we had “any entrapments” - which is what we call anyone who could not self-evacuate for ANY reason. We ain’t leaving you behind. And yes, your friend who doesn’t have the stamina to carry you down can stay with you, too. Because I would never ask that of someone, honestly.
Also, just a little FYI... MOST fire alarms are false alarms. Not to make anyone complacent or anything, but, yeah. Most of them are either system malfunctions, someone accidentally hit a pull station, or someone burned popcorn in a break room. So don’t let a fire alarm freak you out until you need it to - by smelling or seeing smoke or flames.
i have had multiple nightmares about this very thing because NOBODY BOTHERS TO ACTUALLY TELL WHEELCHAIR USERS THIS STUFF
I am loving these additions!
If you're disabled, this is worth the time and focusing energy to read through!!!
I feel like a dumbass, I am enlightened, and if I’m ever physically capable of sewing again, I am so doing this.
(use Neodymium magnets, guys. Might have to fight to pull them off the scissors afterwards but they won’t fall off while you’re cutting)
Saving this!
LITTLE GUY O'CLOCK
whew!! I've had this idea for a soot sprite cosplay for Litcherally so long, i thought it was never going to happen but lo and behold! here he be!! !!! I was trying to avoid fur projects to give the Dust Situation in my abode a rest but that...did not happen 🤨
This costume is another primarily suede affair, with only a few accent fabrics other than the faux fur. 90% of fabrics were from big z....again. The things of note on this guy are the chubby stars which are all painted novelty stress balls! also the big soot sprite, Augustus, is actually a fur covered beach ball.
I've always gotten a kick out of this design and thought the soot sprites were just endlessly charming, so i'm pretty happy with this project!
SOOT SPRITES! SOOT SPRITES! SOOT SPRITES!
I love this a normal amount!
