My hobbies include cosplay, sewing, crafting, baking, artsy endeavors and general shenanigans, and this blog will likely reference all of the above. My apologies in advance.

Cinnamon buns!

I snuck a couple

[purplesnowpixie]

My box of wings came with only 12 in it. Like this box is more than half a cookie sheet.

I'm kinda mad. It barely feeds one person, nevermind the 3 that it needs to. No wonder it was on sale so cheap. No one would buy it otherwise.

I feel tricked.

[purplesnowpixie]

so update!

I finished the cape, received the zippers I ordered to be able to do the skirt and shirt cause I apparently didn't have any, now I do and have no excuses to not keep going with everything. I am not ready.

Don't know if I mentioned, but my next cosplay is Ruby from Rwby. I have learned many things so far.

Dresses are hard, if you are making a dress for the first time make sure you do a simpler dress (not visually, just because it visually looks simple doesnt mean the construction and structure is simple) and use a forgiving fabric, one that has some stretch. I did not. I do not have a pattern, improv is doing wonders in the teaching department. I've got it more or less figured out and now have a functional pattern out of it, but still.

Grandma is unhelpful in the most sincere and trying to be as helpful as possible type of way.

Hoods are both easy and hard. Easy in the sense it's basically 2 quarter circles slapped together. Hard in the sense that it's a bit more complicated than that and making a few mock ups to make sure its both as full as you want it and has no weird points and adding pleats or darts and things can be tricky.

Math doesn't always like to math right. Specifically when neck holes are involved... for some reason? I've yet to figure out why precisely, but I'll get there. Maybe. At the very least I now know to er on the side of caution.

Take your time. You are the only one who's waiting on it. It's not a race. And take breaks. If it's frustrating you or not working like it should or you've been staring at it a while, leave it. Put it away come back later when you've thought it over and are ready to pick it up.

Bed sheets are cheap, fabric is not. Buy old bed sheets and cut them up to make mock ups. It helps soo much. Your fabric will sit and fall differently but it's still helps to have a visual. And keep doing till you are happy with it. If the end result doesn't make you proud or happy then adjust. It doesn't need to be perfect and it can just be a learning opportunity but you should at least be content when you say that.

But in better news, the hood for the cape is almost done, my wig came in ready for me to cut and style. And I have discovered that I still do my best creative work either early in the morning or at night, reminds me of high school.

Made from curtains my aunt gave me.

Ps. I made 3 bed sheet mock ups before I was happy and ready to cut my good fabric, and I went to bed and slept before I went ahead and did, and that's okay.

Damian being moronsexual and getting a crush on Danny Fenton against his will. Danny does something so fucking idiotic and he goes to Jason and says, “I have taken after my mother. Todd, as the only reasonable man in this family, it is now your duty to put me out of my misery.” And Jason’s all, “you had your chance the first time I shot you.”

i need more jason and his goons fics. i need more fics where they're like holy shit that is a very scary, dangerous baby.

jason's about to absolutely lose his shit, goons say it's low blood sugar and offer him a sandwhich

jason just planned a drug bust that went off perfectly, he's getting a cupcake for being so smart

jason has the darkest black circles, the goons are plotting for him to take a nap

he's got like 8 new parents who are way out of their depth but how hard can it be? i mean, he's still alive, that's gotta count for something

[semidea7]

Hiei: i'm calm

Kurama: sure

Kurama: sure you are sweetie

Kurama: but it would be clearer if you put the sword down

Chaos sewing - a definition

I don't have a pattern, but I do have a shirt that more or less fits that I don't want anymore. And from here we improvise and change it as we go with old bed sheets till the mock up looks and sits how we want.

On a separate note we also don't seem to own a single ruler in the whole of our house. Dad's tools it is.

This is what we call chaos sewing. It's what happens when red-necking it meets sewing and craft.

[purplesnowpixie]

I made Pasties

It needed more flavour, and it was a bit dry, hence the gravy. Now I know for next time, right?

I was hit with a cursed thought, and now I shall throw it into the Void!

Accidental Timetravel Naruto in the warning states period meets Tobirama. I mean, Tobirama invented teleportation, knows how to raise the dead, and figured out how to make copies of himself. Now think of him and Naruto mixing up with each other's respective bat-shit-insanity. Each of them their own version of fuck-you-i-do-what-i-want.

Naruto with a Tobirama ready and willing to not only indulge his chaos but actively encourage it if it means they can make new, beautiful jutsu together?

Gonna nip all the future timeline issues in the bud because Hashirama and Madara are gonna be too busy running herd on those two to even think about having a falling out.

Some rando: Why does a person like you follow someone like Sawada?

Hibari, casually: Sawada is physically capable of destroying all life on planet earth in a matter of seconds.

The rando:...

Hibari: Fortunately for the human species, he is not psychologically capable of doing so.

Hibari: I'm working on it. He'll get there someday.

The rando: ... wait what

It's my hc that the Bats are freaky good with their intuition, and it drives the JL mad. Why? Because Batman gets cranky if someone deviates from the plan and his lectures last for 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴. On the flip side, he or the Birds will suddenly freeze, stare at seemingly nothing, and then force everyone to take long detours out of nowhere. When asked what the hell is going on, all they say is they "got a feeling."

Most of the JL is comprised of metahumans or nonhumans so they straight up don't understand what is going on. The non-metahumans also don't understand why the Bats trust their gut instict so much.

I hc that the Bats trust their feeling so well because Bruce taught them to be more observant than the rest of the population, and because of some specific training of Bruce's. He learned it before he became Batman.

Out of all the bats, Jason is the best with his intuition because of his training with All Caste.

After Jason, Cass is the best with feeling out people. It's not because she can read their intentions through their body language. It's a proven instict based on that one guy she didn't like 3 years before they committed their first major crime.

Dick is the best at situational intuition and "reading a room." If he suddenly tenses, the Bats trust that instinct for trouble.

Tim has the best foreboding instinct because he's dealt with so much stupid shit that it might as well be a 6th sense.

[brucewaynehater101]

To add on, Bruce's instincts are best for when his kids are getting into shit they shouldn't be. Too bad it's not specific enough to tell him which kid or what.

@zline Is 100% right that Damian can sense when an animal is in need/trouble within a 5-mile radius.

Babs just knows things. She can tell by glancing at information whether it's likely to be true (especially crime tips from people).

@rubydubydoo122 I personally feel Jason is more of a wide-spread intuition user with lower stats while Duke would have high stats in multiple areas (unlike the other Bats that only have a speciality in one area). Duke's second highest in foreboding, but is highest in knowing when the fam is in immediate danger. He's got more areas, but there are a ton of different intuition types.

Steph's intuition area is whether villains or rogues are going to cause major problems for her (especially if that person has a puzzle or riddle planned). She has that and can feel where purple paint is hidden in a room.

a toddler who was being saved by the red hood called him "mama" once and now crime alley kids will refer to him as mama all. the. time.

People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I'd pass it on.

I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?

These people seem to get it, though. It's very simple in places. It's basically the cookbook for people who think, 'I'm really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can't think of anything else to cook that won't exhaust me'. And it's free!

Short DPXDC Prompts #1039

Jim Gordon’s Niece and Nephew, Jazz and Danny Fenton, are staying at his house for a few days so they can tour Gotham University and sightsee for a bit. He knew that Maddie was a little on the crazy side, but seeing just how much of her crazy rubbed off on her kids was a sight to see.

[mkarchin713]

Jim had started a mental list.

A list of every strange/concerning thing Jim had seen his niece and nephew do.

The kids brandishing weapons every time someone opens the fridge

Jazz cleaning his firearms because “that’s my chore at home”

Danny turning his coffee maker into a CB Radio

The kids not registering they are getting mugged.

Danny getting high off fear gas

Jazz stitching up Danny’s arm after Danny apparently walked into a knife.

Danny arguing with a shadow

Watching Danny sleep and realizing he’s not breathing.

Jazz going after a goon with a green bat when said goon tried to break into the house.

Danny disappearing and reappearing like a Bat

Jazz’s thesis paper on the long term psychological effects teen vigilantism.

Danny biting a Joker goon that got too close to Jazz.

Jazz’s finding bugs in the house and effortlessly destroying them (the non-Bat bugs were concerning)

Danny upgrading Babs chair so it can hover.

Jazz hugging a little girl who looks just like Danny, while Danny talks with a young man who could pass as their older brother.

[improbably-luminescent]

I love the implication that Jim Gordon is:

So used and resigned to the bat bugs that only the other ones were concerning

So generally inoculated against Weird Inexplicable Stuff that he apparently observed all these behaviors in his niece and nephew and is still just observing and making a list. The implied exhausted “this might as well happen” is so real

Finding his niece casually handling his disassembled firearms, which I choose to believe he was responsible enough to have locked in a safe while his minor relatives were staying in his house. Implying that no safe is Fenton proof. Danny says he made that safe “unposessable” and “less box-like” now, so… thanks? He thinks?

About to get some bat visitors who are worried about the sudden absence of any of their bugs in their favorite commissioner’s house

Only mildly surprised that his daughter’s now been equipped with a hover chair, given that the list just continues uninterrupted after that

About to find a bat sprawled on his floor at 4am, newly Fenton-creep-sticked by a looming Jazz for breaking in to try and stealthily replace the bugs in Jim’s place

Going to be unable to even offer said downed bat coffee while Jazz expertly checks them for a concussion and lectures/interviews them about their experiences with childhood vigilantism and its effects — which she is weirdly personally familiar with — because the coffee maker is busy receiving transmissions from Mars (Danny upgraded it again)

Definitely not sending these kids back without some Serious Questions asked first.

Currently watching Babs take photos of the concussed bat in question next to the slim teenage girl who took them out in one hit and caption them “one bat to rule them all” with the Fenton Creep Stick circled, and pretending he doesn’t know why Babs is collecting blackmail material on them or why they seem so resigned to it.

[p0ssym1lker]

Dick is not angry

He never is

Even when he's arguing with batman

He's not

He swears he isn't

----

Danny stumbles across a guy who burns with anger

But doesn't show it

And Danny is smitten by the strong emotion

He befriends him, being outright on why

The other tries to convince him that he is not angry, he can't be

While Danny just looks lovingly at his rant
