Welcome! 29, she/her. Artist and wannabe animator. My art blog is @misti-art . I mostly end up reblogging a lot of stuff I find interesting on this blog. This blog is organised. I tag everything. If you like it and want more, just search the tags.
Ooooh new comic I’m working on that I suddenly decided to make so we’ll see how it goes and also idk how long this is going to be, but I’m very into phm and ironlung rn so um. 😁 Under the cut some close ups!

Alternative Universe where after the explosion, Colt goes looking for his brother. When he enters the facility, Eva already sets the order to put Grace on the ship. When a security guard sees Colt, he's confused and puts him there too
Now there are two identical guys in one ship... I'm sure it will be fine. Definitely no sibling bonding taking place while saving the stars...
Also, they find this super strong human goo named Simon
stratt and grace and the rest of the phm science team running on 4 cumulative hours of sleep at an unscheduled conference. dimitri and lokken are trying to explain a new complication in the hail mary's fueling system and the resources necessary to iron it out but they keep getting interrupted by government officials butting in until grace (who doesn't even look up from his laptop and checked out of the conversation two days ago) snaps "we raise our hands to speak"
complete silence for like 3 seconds. the french prime minister sheepishly raises his hand and stratt smiles for the first time that week (grace buries his entire face behind his laptop screen for wont of a better option, like jumping straight into the sea)
My personal goal is to try and make fanfic binding as accessible to everyone as possible, so here are some resources on how to make a fanfic hardcover for under $25.
This is a barebones bind for the broke college students and such. Happy to field questions, too!
Here's a proposed budget breakdown:
Loosely organized thoughts:
Fanfic bookbinders often share typesets amongst each other. Never pay for a typeset for a fanfic.
You'll hear a lot about grain direction for your printer paper, but as a newbie on a budget without your own printer, settle for some nice 92 bright paper. If you like the hobby, splurge after but expect to pay at least 2-3x more for short grain paper.
Printing is a pain because some copy shops won't let you print intellectual property smut, and it's very expensive. You are better off bartering instead or looking for a free printer on Buy Nothing.
You know the thick paper wrapping that comes with online orders? It's a good weight for endpapers if you need to scrounge. Paper grocery bags or gift bags (birthday presents) might work, too.
Ask your local library to give you covers from books they are throwing out. Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.
Obtain a used book that was mass produced (so your destruction of it does not impede anyone's access) and maybe even become a little vindictive with it.
If you can afford it, I recommend the Olfa SVR knife (~$10)
If you can afford it, upgrade your ruler to a t-square.
I really hope this resource is helpful! I want to stress how possible this is and encourage people to cherish what they love through art.
If you are interested in fanfic binding and have a little more disposable income, I have an affordable Fan Fiction Bookbinding Starter Pack that I carry on my site. I pack them myself and drop them 1x/month on the 15th.
I was going to hold off on posting till after I slept. But chapter 12 of The Great Tribulation by aloremrem @raphalorem just dropped. I've been loving the fic so far, so here's a scene from Chapter 11, and a cuddle, from some point in the fic.
Could you imagine making your own movie, making like 20 million dollars, and then going “awesome, now to install a DVD duplicating machine in my house and personally burn copies by hand like a medieval monk preserving sacred texts”
Like I need people to understand the mental image here of a multimillionaire internet creator personally overseeing DVD production in his own house like he’s running an underground bootleg operation out of a basement in 2007.
It’s weirdly charming because there’s something very “old internet” about it, this energy of “I made a thing, and now I will physically hand it to people myself like an artisan at a craft fair.”
The man really said: “The future of cinema is me standing next to a humming disc burner at 2am”
And like... I can't help but believe he's onto something
I've noticed a lot of people missing out on some of Simon’s features when it comes to bloodymary. I completely understand if you have not seen Iron Lung, so I have things that may help if needed!!
Below will be some references and notes to help anyone out who may need it!! None of this is meant to come off as rude, I just want to help people out who have not had the opportunity to watch it.
I posted this on my twitter, but I wanna put it here too because tumblr gives me a lot more room to ramble on without cutting off tweets :]
SPOILERS BELOW FOR IRON LUNG!! and a general body horror warning!!
EDIT (4/1/26): I found more close up images of the mutations near the end of the movie!! They will be under everything else :]
EDIT (4/4/26): References and BTS of Simon's arm rip added!! AND HIS PENDANT!! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT GUYS WE GOT A SOLID PENDANT REFERENCE
BODY HORROR WARNING!! SOME OF THESE PROSTHETICS AND MAKEUP ARE REALLY GNARLY AND GROSS
First off, here's a milanote moodboard for Simon's outfit in the film! Since we do not have a digital release yet, it is pieced together from BTS photos and resources of the costume people have found on amazon or other sites.
His clothes are pretty destroyed by the end of the movie, but it might help anyways. I think the most important part is the knife sheath his mother gave him :]
Here is a collage from Anna, someone who worked on Iron Lung!! It shows the gradual change of Simon's appearance through the movie.
The tattoo of Eden's symbol, burned off by the C.O.I. (Coalition of Iron), on the left side of his neck just below his ear!!
EDIT: here's more details of the mutations near the end of the movie!
Now for the arm!! Due to the massive amounts of radiation Simon was exposed to, his tissue had softened and made his body prone to easily falling apart.
I've seen some people interpret that the bone is sticking out since it's not near a joint. (In one of my own fic wips I have a little tidbit where armando amputates the rest of it up to his shoulder, so the snapped bone doesn't cause any discomfort.)
TLDR: His arm got stuck and he tried to tear it free, but ended up ripping nearly the whole thing off.
EDIT: Regarding the arm!! Here's reference to the prop itself. It's shown on the model they used that the bone snapped along with it.
I also found a BTS video of how they went through the process :]
And finally the clearest image we have yet of the seed pendant!! You can also see this post for their interpretation of it!! It's pretty close to the prop itself :]
————
I also have a bunch of notes on the movie and game, both taken on my own and from the fandom website. (It's still a work in progress, but hopefully it helps anyone who needs it!)
That's pretty much it!! Feel free to reblog and add any notes or images that may help others. I may come back to this to add more, so keep an eye on it! 🙂↕️
