Bound: Do Every Stupid Thing by @thepartyresponsible

Typeset and bound by: me, @phoenixortheflame

Featuring art by: @minhyongi and @adayka

Whew! This one was a doozy. Four fics, two volumes—and two copies to boot, since I made a set for the lovely @sammialex.

In the end though, it was worth it, and I'm fucking thrilled with how these turned out, especially the typeset (more on that later) and the dust jackets, which were inspired by Hayley Williams' single art for "True Believer."

I knew I wanted to do a Bucky cover and a Tony cover (since the fics are from Jason's POV), and I scoured social media trying to find the perfect art. Bless @minhyongi for letting me use the piece featuring a young Tony Stark and @adayka for the Bucky Barnes art.

The dusties were fully—and painstakingly—designed on Affinity. The "lockscreen" photo on the back of volume 1 is of a floor drain—a visual cue for torture, and one I couldn't get out of my head thanks to this series. The photo on the back of volume 2 is of a car battery because THEY TAKE TONY.

The theme for this bind was "Tony's metal band t-shirts" but mostly that translated to lots of upside down crosses and the New Rocker title font.

The upside down crosses on the cover are meant to look random, like they're falling form the sky...rain or, better yet, bullet casings.

The endbands nearly killed me, as did hand sanding the top and bottom edges of three out of four books, but—look how pretty!

Endpapers were Crepaldi (I KNOW) but also thank god one of my besties, @maleekamolscreates, is a superstar paper marbler because at the last minute I decided to scrap my original case idea which meant sacrificing one pair of endpapers. Her replacement papers are on the far right.

The typeset is perhaps my favourite I've ever made and the biggest drop caps I've ever attempted.

A massive thank you goes out to @thepartyresponsible for writing this amazing series (and please reach out if you'd like copies, I'd love to make you a set!).

Additional thank yous to @sammialex for introducing me to this series and to @plor-bindery, @maleekamolscreates, and @sits-bound for listening to me whine cheering me on at every stage.

Last week I finished my first proper longfic! I have a newfound respect for anyone who regularly churns out these massive strories, because oh boy, it was so much harder than I imagined. And it also took a lot longer than I thought it would...

But now that it’s done, I’m so proud of myself.

If you’re interested in a nice frostiron time travel adventure with all the Loki feels, check it out :D

[minhyongi]

I can't write a comment to you on AO3.

So just wanted to ask:

Could Tony have really gotten hurt at the roof? Did he forget the binding in the heat of the moment? By the way I love your stories. You are very talented at writing. I am on pins and needles waiting for the next chapters.

Loki broke the binding when they were on Asgard and their little truce was only valid until they got back to their right time so theoretically, yes Tony could have gotten hurt on the roof.

Huh, I wonder why you can't comment on ao3, I'm pretty sure I have guest comments turned on. But it's nice to receive such a lovely message on tumblr nontheelss :D I hope you enjoy where the story is headed <3

[minhyongi]

my past week has been incredible stressful so of course my brain has come up with a new fic idea, because what else would it be doing??

[minhyongi]

*carefully sets down triple ask like a delicate origami swan* xD

4. What piece of media inspired you the most?

22. Did you get frustrated with a fic at some point? What happened and how did you get past it?

30. What would you like to write next this year?

*delicately picks up your origami swan to admire it* (Let's hope it doesn't turn into a Loki that says "blergh, it's me" and stabs me...)

4. This feels impossible to answer. I get inspired by so many things, be it a rewatch of the original movies, other fics I read or books. Sometimes just a quote or a set of images is enough to inspire me :D Right now, I really adore gothic novels and I have a few story drafts for darker fics inspired by that vibe. Maybe I can finish one of them this year

22. All. The. Time. I planned to finish my longfic (memories of tomorrow) around one year ago which uhhh... didn't quite happen. I'm mostly frustrated with myself over how much I procrastinate the not-as-fun parts of writing and I'm still not quite sure how to overcome it. I love coming up with ideas, laying out the plot, writing the fun dialogue and then there's that part where I have to stitch it together and make it coherent and that's where I spent like 80% of my time. It's certainly the perfectionist in me that hinders me the most. (Ironic isn't it? haha)

30. Definitely finish writing Memories of Tomorrow before moving on to the next bigger project. That will most likely be my three part series dragon AU. I'm really passionate about that fic, it's full of feels and angst and has so many ups and downs. It's the first story that brought some tears to my eyes while writing it.

The bundle in his arm stirs, and Loki stops to catch a glimpse of his face.

“Lokes?” Tony’s voice is unbearably weak.

Loki swallows down the tight knot of worry in his throat. “Don’t speak. Spare your strength.”

“You’re blue.” He says it so casually. Like it's nothing special. He says it in the same way as he said you’re pretty several weeks ago, when they had spent the evening together and gotten drunk and his fingers had traced the lines of Loki’s face. And just like back then, Loki doesn't know what to make of it.

“I had not noticed. Thank you for telling me.”

“No worries.”

Tony falls silent again. His eyes are still clouded and weak, his blinks far too slow, but his breathing is steady. Loki pulls him tighter against his chest and continues onward.

An excerpt from a oneshot where Tony and Loki get lost in a snowstorm during a mission and Loki shifts to his Jotun form to bring Tony to safety.

Finally got my shit together and turned this snippet into a slightly longer oneshot. Here it is :)

[minhyongi]

Of course I'm down for a silly little tag game hehe, thank you @loni4ever

Last song: Wires - The Neighbourhood I've been listening to a lot of their older songs lately and I totally get why teenager me was obsessed with them. That shit still slaps

Last book: last book I finished was Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and I'm currently in the middle of reading The Stand by Stephen King

Favourite colour: anything dark and rich

Last movie: Wake Up Dead Man (absolute peak, go watch it if you love fun murder mysteries)

Spicy/sweet/savoury: savoury or sweet, I really can't handle spicy food...

Last show: I think it was Severance season 2?? I haven't been watching many shows lately

Current obsession: dragons!! hecking love dragons!!! but that's more of a constant obsession of mine rather than a current one

Last search: a phone number that called me and I was too scared to pick up. Turns out it was my doctors office reminding me of the appointment i missed lmao

[loni4ever]

I'm sensing a throughline here xD interesting, I never knew your vibe was like that :D ofc this might more of a snapshot than a representation, but the media you're into (from this) seems to be more on the darker, somber side - istg I'm not really wording this correctly xD but the horror/thriller/mystery trio and then the song and the dark rich colours do paint a picture ahaha

Btw I googled "dark rich colours" and

Pretty (´▽｀)✧・´ (did you mean thereabouts or colours 'round the whole wheel?)

Also the number thing is so relatable xD I also never pick up calls where I don't recognize the number. It doesn't do much to make me feel like a proper adult but ...eh. I mean, I could have a Serious And Proper™ reason to have missed/not picked up whatever call it was — I just don't. But how are they gonna know that XD

[minhyongi]

Oh, now I'm wondering what kind of vibe I was giving off before :D I think it's partially because when it comes to fanfics I enjoy the fluffy, romantic bits just as much as the more serious stuff, but when it comes to books and movies, I don't like them to be romance focused at all.

My favorite genre is probably best described as "weird horror." Not the kind that jump scares you, but the kind that makes you uneasy because of the themes it explores and leaves you thinking for a long time afterwards. (And I adore dark comedies. Heathers, my beloved.)

And an absolute yes to those colors!! I don't have a specific favorite color, I just really like those dark, rich tones. They feel so comfy to me.
