You're the only character i related That much to. We went through similar things and the fact that after everything it all turned out alright for you gives me hope that maybe im gonna be okay too
it’s ok if you’re scared. or tired. or unsure. or one million billion other complicated emotions at once. but i’ve decided things are going to be ok anyway. and i will hold that belief close to my heart no matter how scared or tired or lonely or depressed or one million billion other things i am. i will hold onto that. and if you’re scared, you can hold onto me. we can carry each other through
Being a longtime Techno fan(since like early 2019? Hypixel Skyblock my beloathed), of course I had to make a copy of The Art of War. Also, it was a good excuse to finally read it, but just a regular copy wasn't enough. Of course not. The Art of War, by Sun Tzu: The Technoblade Edition! (Shoutout to MIT for having the translation for free online. And Lionel Giles I guess for actually translating it all those years ago).
This copy marks every single instance he quotes The Art of War in The Potato War series, plus a couple other few choice quotes at the start of some chapters(with a couple other easter eggs!) I then designed the cover to look like an enchanted book, because my little headcannon is that it's his copy he carries around in game. It is specifically an enchanted book because normal books don't have the belt (boring).
The ender chest was a gift from a dear friend of mine many years ago. I got so excited about finishing this bind that I instantly ran off to do a photo shoot with it :)
Progress pics and rambling, a per usual:
Really trying not to enter this hobby wallet first so this bind was a total fuck around and find out process:
My printer decided it didn't wanna print double side it and grabbed two pieces of paper, so originally I was gonna just reprint that page, but then I found a header error AND all the em-dashes mysteriously missing, except only in the body text?? Anyways when I reprinted it was fine and I had the correct off white/cream paper by then. End papers aren't super visible, but they're handmade recycled purple paper :)
Used graph paper as the stencil...don't do that. It was way too thin and the paint seeped under. I also didn't have silver paint. Make a proper stencil, guys. It's worth it.
Yolo-ed the cloth and glue for every single cover up 'til now, but this was the one that failed (third pic) and I ended up redoing the cloth from scratch, this time with acrylic medium/cornstarch paste filled cloth.
Tbh I'm not sure if I ordered brass or gold clasps?? Not that it matters?? But trying to find clasps big enough without getting 100 of them was rough. That is all.
But we did it! And now I have to go make another for a friend who saw it and instantly asked for one. The laser printer wasn't exactly cooperative but fuck it we ball.
sometimes i sit and think abt the your tubbo/your tommy compasses and how c!clingy cherished them in their own different ways. ctommy, the quote unquote chaotic child who ppl thought of as always doing something a little destructive, who was abrasive, keeping his compass safe in his enderchest beside his dics. Would open his enderchest to simply look at it always putting it back so it would stay in mint condition. meanwhile, ctubbo had his compass on him at all times. tubbo, who prioritized logic over emotion. DO YOU GET IT. DO YOU GET IT. DO YOU GE- *i am dragged away screaming*
I think the best way I can describe c!Tommy is that he’s just a kid that wants to pull stupid pranks and hang out with his friends, but “the horrors” keep getting him.
