[number-one-gavinners-hater]

Guys. As a Gavinners hater, I feel as though my content has really drifted. Am I a Gavinners hater, or a Klavier hater? You wouldn’t know, if I didn’t have the answer in my blog name.

You see, its just because the other members of the Gavinners are just so boring and irrelevant and let themselves be in a band titled ‘the Gavinners’. Do you even really deserve a place in my mind if you did that? Furthermore, it suggests large amounts of sucking up to the evil Klavier Gavin, which is intolerable. The only notable member, aside from Klavier, is Daryan Crescend, who has made a mockery of himself. He tries to pull off the rebel bad boy look but instead ends up looking exactly like what his hair would suggests- a dickhead. He is a nuisance with no sense, and he can’t even play the guitar properly (we ALL hear those missed cues, Daryan). He doesn’t take himself seriously, and, consequently, I find it hard to take him seriously too.

Aside from Daryan, does anyone even care about the rest? Their keyboardist (notice how I don’t remember their name?) is the only one in that band with something even close to resembling talent, and, for whatever reason, they chose to defile it by playing for the Gavinners. That’s their fault, though, so, unfortunately for them, I hate them just the same.

I suppose if there is one thing that’s good about the Gavinners, its their apt song choices. ‘Guilty Love’? Guilty of bursting my eardrums. ‘Atroquinine, my love’? Like the poison they spew. ‘Thirteen years hard time for love’? Approximately the sentence I imagine they’ll serve once the rose-tinted glasses fall off their fans eyes and they realise that this music is so bad its a crime.

This bind is probably my best example of "Everything that could go wrong... but it's fine in the end" so far.

For the 2025 Renegade Typesetting Exchange, @tinwhiskerpress made a typeset of my favourite Klapollo fanfiction, Words Come Fluently by ItsyRoyal. It's a music industry AU with tons of social media elements and a healthy dose of the secret/mistaken identity trope. And finally, here it is, all bound and ready to go on my shelf!

Except it was an adventure and a half to reach this state.

First, my mistake 100%: the typeset was meant to be A5, but I'm out of short grain A4 paper for A5 books (which is a tragedy I need to remedy QUICK), so I did an A6 book. The size of the font made it work, I was happy with it. For some reason, my printer skewed the print. It wouldn't have been such a big problem in A5, but it became visible in A6. Printer, why?! Then, I didn't stabilise my guillotine before cutting. Again, 100% my mistake. But my text block ended up cut even more askew. At this point, I was left with the painful question: DO I GO ON, DO IT START OVER, DO I GIVE UP?

I'm not a quitter. I have limited amounts of paper. I decided to go on.

After re-trimming, the text block straightened a little, and I figured having a straight book cover might help compensate. It did! Mostly.

Except. Since it was an AU centred on the fame of the Gavinners, I wanted a cover that would be glittery, flashy. I used a paper with lots, LOTS of glitter for endpages and I layered it on the cover with a cut-up bookcloth that shines a nice gold shifting into purple. It felt like the perfect fit, right?

Except: the paper was too thin, the glue sipped through, the bookcloth got stained. BADLY stained. I tried to salvage it by adding "grunge like" dots of gold.

This was NOT working. This was awful. I was so unhappy with it.

Still not a quitter, but I had other types of bookcloth. And most of all, I had a piece of fabric I'd been meaning to use for forever: shiny, thick, HOLO. (I have told you I love holo, right? Yeah, thought so.)

Scrap the cover, cut the endpages, tidy the text block, let's do it again.

(It's always a little painful)

I printed and glued new endpages. What I had NOT anticipated: the cloth I picked was heavier than I thought. Like, really heavy. And the end pages were too thin.

It tore.

Sunk cost fallacy at this point. I had a nice shiny cover, a perfectly decent text block. I wouldn't let endpages get me down.

I had some decorated paper, thicker than I usually use for endpages, but thought it might be the occasion. It took... a lot of glue. And possibly a bit of tape. I'm not 100% proud. BUT. It holds.

Finally, I managed to complete the bind with adhesive vynil cut with my Silhouette Cameo. And this, for once, worked exactly as intended.

So, everything that could go wrong went wrong. Multiple times. But I'm glad I can finally have this book on my shelf! Thanks for the typeset, @tinwhiskerpress, and thanks for the fic, Itsy!

dicking about with filters instead of finishing a piece, do they look good together? I'm gonna use the less rendered versions for something else, but I'm trying to learn different techniques and effects using them

I've just come to the horrifying realisation that if Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney was real, I would be a Gavinners stan. My bias would be Klavier and I'd buy their overpriced merch and I'd be heartbroken that I couldn't go to their farewell concert in August
