I finally finished binding Nature and Nurture by @earlgreytea68, such a beautiful Johnlock fic that I’ve loved for years.

This was honestly a tricky one. I wanted to do something delicate and nature-inspired, so I made a little window on the cover with translucent paper to hold some dried flowers... which turned out beautiful eventually, but not before I messed it up three times and accidentally sliced into the back of the text block 😅 Worth it though.

The design is inspired by the GORGEOUS bind by wilddaisies_bindery on ig and also some bookmarks i made ages ago and that look so pretty with this bind.

The title, author, and AO3 logo are all handwritten with paint markers, and I used sea photographs from Canva as endpapers.

I’m so happy with how it turned out and I'm so glad to finally give this fic a physical form after loving it for years.

Thank you so much to the author for letting me bind this beauty and I hope you like how it turned out!

happy halloween, i expect you will spend the day doing THE MOST mad science you can possibly do. ⚡

+ old black and white film version:

Yesterday I met a very cute dog and his human told me "he's anxious but friendly, you can pet his head ig you want, he loves that." and I never felt more seen.

I, too, am anxious but friendly and would like someone to pet my hair.

people getting mad at ao3 for rightfully being firmly against censorship and allowing dark fics that depict taboo subjects in explicit details to be on their platform is so funny to me because ao3 was created specifically to be a fuck you to capitalism and censorship. the point of ao3 is that it’s a place to host and archive any fanwork, which includes fanwork about taboo topics that are not allowed on other platforms like wattpad or fanfiction.net

the whole point of ao3 is that it’s a safe space for all fics, and that includes fics about taboo subjects

ao3 has always been firmly against censorship since the day it was created, that’s why it’s run by fans, for fans, on fans’ donations, why it’s a nonprofit organization, that’s also why it has no ads or algorithms or any of those capitalism bullshit

if you have a problem with that, go to fanfiction.net or wattpad. no one forces you to stay in the house made specifically for the (affectionate) freaks

why did he have to say they were pink and satiny. like he could have stopped but he kept going

[mothmanmademedoit]

Took some new pictures of my bind of Way Down We Go by @xiaq to post them here because I'm very proud of this one!

The typeset is very simple but I can't wait to annotate the shit out of this fic and the faux leather is from an old encyclopedia my aunt gave when I started bookbinding. I'm happy to finally give it some new life.

I printed this AMAZING fic in like November of last year and had it ready and waiting for a cover so yesterday, instead of studying for a final, I have in a few days, I finally finished it!

The amazing art on the cover is by the author of the fic @schweetheart and I can't thank you enough both for letting me bind in and also for drawing this piece for me.

I wanted to do something different than a regular cover so I tried to use this thick vellum paper so it looks like they're behind the curtain or something, I'm not sure but I think it looks nice.
