Would it be too sappy for curt to gift bucky a lock pendant so he can also carry the corresponding key on his dog tag chain? Would that count as collaring?
WHRBCJSFJNDCNF NO THAT'S SO CUTE ;_; it would absolutely count as collaring and work REALLY well as a day collar substitute, it's pretty straightforward If You Know but ambiguous enough they could probably get away with it as long as no one was enforcing dress regs [that was part of my thinking behind the crucifix idea because dress regs allowed for religious pendants exclusively, but lbr chick "whatever you do between missions... 😏" harding is NOT enforcing dress regs. huglin might've, but not harding]
something like this maybe
just itty bitty and easy to tuck behind the dog tags for plausible deniability UGH I LOVE THIS??? i love this.
the problem is making them talk about it because it's basically a "what are we" talk which curt is so deeply allergic to even thinking about since he's positive bucky doesn't love him back, and bucky's experience with "what are we" talks is "you're fun but not worth keeping" so he gets snippy if it comes up. because they're stupid.
Hi, Sam! Have you ever posted a tutorial on how to turn socks into fingerless gloves? I've got some once-great socks that no longer stay up when I walk, and I remember toy converting old socks like that. Thanks!
Hey! Sorry it took me forever to get to this, I wanted to provide photos but I kept putting off making the armwarmers. Photos and instructions beneath the cut!
Basically what you’re doing is putting a seam across the heel to turn a heeled sock into a tube, and then cutting the toe end open and hemming the raw edges to open that end of the tube. It’s a bit tricky because socks are stretchy, and this was not my finest attempt, but here goes.
Turn the socks inside out and flatten them so that the heels and the “bottoms” of the feet face up.
The sock on the left is normal. The sock on the right has had the heel of it pinched up , so that the yellow heel bit forms a sort of flap. What you want to do is pinch the heel up on each sock and then turn it over and fold it, so that the “foot” is folded back on the “ankle” and the heel sticks out. Like so:
The one on the left has been folded back so that the heel sticks out. The scissors are pointing at the heel, even though it looks like it could be the toe. The one on the right hasn’t been turned over and folded yet, to illustrate the difference.
Now you can cut the toes open across the top and fold them back, like on the one on the right here:
I usually do two folds so that the raw edges where you cut are completely tucked under.
Time to sew! First you want to just sew across the heel, making sure that you don’t catch any of the other side of the sock (I reach into the pocket made by the foot and ankle and pull the fabric out a bit just to be sure. If you want, you can be extra careful and sew like this, above the line where yellow meets red:
But that means when you turn it right side out, that yellow will show – you’ll see later. Just make sure that you are only sewing the heel fabric to itself, not any other fabric. You can trim off the “flap” once you’ve sewn it if you want, I usually don’t bother.
Now you have to stitch a seam all the way around the folded-back-toe bit. There’s no good way to photograph this or explain it, but when it’s done it’ll look like this:
It helps if you stretch out the fabric a bit as you sew, because that will make for long, slightly loose stitches, and the cuff will stretch a bit when you slip it over your hand. This takes some focus, because you have to stretch the fabric and feed it through the machine with one hand, while rotating it and keeping the other side of the hem clear with the other. You’re basically sewing around the hole you’ve made in one long loop.
But then you’re done! Turn them right side out, take a look, and adjust as necessary. You can see in this how the yellow shows through on the first one I did, and how I went a little overboard to prevent that on the second one. But they’ll wear well.
I’m so excited that no matter what might happen on Shameless this season, we’re going to see the Milkovich house again and that has caused more buzz than the characters they’ve shoved in our faces the past few years.
The building itself is actually more iconic and memorable than Faieb, Terror, Snore (Sierra), Bored (Ford), Sammi Jr (Kassidi), and new Liam combined (sorry new Liam, but you’re just prepubescent Carl all over again-you’re a rerun).
I’ve always thought of the architecture of this place telling us it’s Mickey’s poor man’s castle. If the show hadn’t screwed us over it should’ve been where Mickey and Ian and Yev wound up in their happy ever after kingdom while the rest of the self-involved Gallaghers kept on fucking up and living their messy messed up lives while the Gallavich family thrived in love.
This building is where Ian showed up at the door a few memorable times (at least)-once to ask Mandy, “Where’s Mickey?”, once to climb the steps and pick up a tire iron, once to find Mickey when he didn’t know where else to go-even though he was supposed to go to work. We had Mickey’s fine ass leaning against the post when Lip showed up asking him if he heard from Ian. We had Mickey meeting Ian on the porch when it was full of suitcases. We had Mickey come around the corner to find all his shit on the lawn. We had Mickey go flying out the door when Ian grabbed Yevgeny and ran. All we ever had from Faileb was overbearing controlling moments and all we had from Terror was lectures, none of which left the lasting impressions the scenes with the house had. I’d much rather see a full episode of just shots of the exterior of the Milkovich house than anything those two bozos ever did on the show.
