“that was so cool, please never do it again” is a phrase i find myself saying to my dog far too often

[muttsandmustelidae]

tags for context, but it feels important to remind everyone that this dog still believes that a 4ft fence is impenetrable

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

Just finished the last tassels on this belt. I’m still considering adding some sort of reinforcement via embroidery along the edges, but I’m not sure of the best way to go about it. Very much open to suggestions or advice.

More of the process under the cut.

This piece was done through backstrap weaving. My “loom” consisted of two sticks + my heddle. Here you can see me working the heddle to change the shed.

I highly recommend NOT doing your first ever backstrap weaving using very thin singles consisting of some of the first thread you ever spun and dyed. Toward the end of the process, I had threads in the warp break a couple of times, some of the heddle strings were almost completely worn through.

The ends were done in two different ways. On the far ends I gradually decreased the width, then braided the threads of the warp (adding in some extra threads to give them slightly more volume). Then I twined the braids, with every other twist being twined once again (you can see the smaller ones are Z twists while the bigger ones are S twists).

The closer end I simply slipped off my stick, and twisted the ends together. This was pretty good for having a loop at the end, through which I could secure tassels.

2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable

3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

i love the phrase "cruel and unusual." not only is what you're doing mean but it's also quite frankly fucking bizarre
