'Lo and behold, 'tis the 1st of September, and the International Naalbinding Day! :D

Guess what I am making? ;)

And yes, doing things a bit backwards, since most probably start a thumb from the bottom and not the tip.. but I wanted to try at least, and see if the tips get a nicer and more even look.. and I do have some ideas about making assembly possible, despite there being two "open" needleareas :)

THE MAN(D)ADLORIAN

- "Why is the Mandalorian's ship called Razor Crest?" - "Because it's gotten him out of a lot of close shaves."

-"Where did the Mandalorian find his missing armor?" -"The Lost and Foundling!"

-"What did the Mandalorian say when The Child wanted a drink before bed?" -"I can bring you in warm milk or I can bring you in cold milk."

source: Pedro Pascal being adorable and making The Mandalorian dad jokes

So there’s not just Mando’a, but Mandado’a ;)

A Few Screws Loose is the New Normal

by Mistakes_and_Experiments

I just stumbled over this fantastic fic gem, still a WIP, but none the less hiiiighly entertaining read :D

Summary (from AO3): "Darcy Lewis’ current life consists of risking her breakable, non-superpowered life and limb against weird physics crap. She still doesn't know much about quantum mechanics, but she valued her friendships by their weight in gold so she stays as Jane’s assistant. The astrophysicist was only too glad for Darcy’s ability to see through possible political ramifications of her scientific findings and Darcy was happy to stay.

Oddly enough, Darcy’s fine with this life.

Yet even those shenanigans were nothing compared to the power plays and political chess she was driven to read and learn—there was nothing in her life of that calibre. Though she didn’t want to admit it, she craved for something more.

Enter one Loki of Asgard, captive of the Avengers. With his magic bound, the most harm he could do was shredding someone’s ego with his sharp tongue. Darcy is up to the challenge and he'll soon find out there's more to her than meets the eye. Behind all this, dark plans laid against the earth unfolds. Jane and Darcy hunts for the truth with the power of SCIENCE!

Let the games begin."

If you publicly and unreservedly condemn the actions of Nazis in Charlottesville and elsewhere, including everything from quiet hate speech to vehicular terrorism, can you please reblog this post.

I think a few friends, a few followers, every Jew who happens across this post and my own heart could do with knowing that there are more of you out there than there are of them

The reflection..

I wonder.. Do they call themselves Soupertroopers?

"We are the granddaughters of the witches they forgot to burn"

Maybe this should be a mandatory video to watch in schools. Sadly so very succinct about the world many women live in today.

Fanart for A Room Of One’s Own by NorthernSparrow. It’s incredibly amusing and this is Dean’s fantasy. 

[miravisu]

So, a few people on here have suggested I start a GoFundMe thing to assist me in replacing my ol’ grumpy computer before it finally putters out for good. The last attempt at patching it up [thank you to those who helped with that, too] hasn’t exactly done the trick in the end, and it’s time to bite the bullet and try to get a new one. Because it’s getting to the point where it’s hindering not only the fun stuff I do for my followers, but my work.

If you have a moment, please head on over To my GoFundMe to read my full story of woe, and perhaps assist me with this endeavor. 

And once again, thank you all so much for your help and support for… for years now! You are just wonderful people, and I really can’t thank you enough.

Supernatural + Fanfiction

Supernatural + Fanfiction

Favourite things I learnt about Supernatural characters in fanfics…

Sam is VERY proportional.

~

Gabriel has an oral fixation, not just with candy. Also, see previous list item.

~

Dean and Cas can bring UST to new levels, there’s plenty of “eyefucking”. [x]

~

Encounters with slash fanfiction can “ease” UST, almost as good as if not better than alcohol. Also, see previous list item. [x]

You can’t have Supernatural fics without some wing!kink..

In other words, I had fun with PS this morning ;) Image from here, font from here, and thanks to Bruce Lee for his original quote "The more we value things, the less we value ourselves", for making me think of this.. Also posted here on pinterest.

What if Castiel chose a different Vessel?

..featuring Castiel, and a different vessel, fond of MLP ;)

Nooo, I’m not at all overdosing on Supernatural fics, whatever gave you that idea? ;)

When Dean wakes up with all the wrong parts in all the right places, his primary concern is figuring out who stole his dick and how to get it back. In the mean time, he may as well try out the new equipment. If only he had ever paid attention in a seventh-grade health class, he could have avoided the complications that came next.

This is a really funky piece of Destiel.

Beautiful dreamer.. I (finally) made a(nother) new LLL desktop for ladylovelylocks.org Please clickie here :) Also posted here on flickr.
