I don’t know who needs to hear this but your diverse reimagining of that popular IP that makes it unproblematic should probably just be an original set of characters at this point

So this one is another I don't have a ton of good progress photos on, as I initially threw it together in a MAJOR hurry, with an impending international flight the next day, not to mention most of the packing I hadn't finished yet!

Y'see, normally I'm used to being easily 85 to 90% packed before such a big trip, so I kinda autopiloted into going "oh, I don't have a neck pillow! Gonna need one of those! Even despite the chaos, to be honest, it was quite a fun process! I'd never done drop patterning before, and it was fascinating to see the difference in my initial idea of what the pattern pieces looked like, in comparison to what came out after a bit of clever draping and tracing, let alone seeing how I basically managed to pirate my partner's neck pillow, haha!

I haven't done a lot of stuffed work before, though, so I don't quite have down how to get the relative density of something like a pillow down pat, even if I was using stuffing from an old set of pillows I was loath to discard. Perhaps (definitely) as a result of that, I had to throw a patch onto the split it gained smack dab in the middle! Made for something to do on the train after the flight, and I luckily had the presence of mind to bring along some of the scraps of the material I made the pillow out of. Is it a 4-h project? nah, I could have straightened out some of those stitches better! but it works, and quite well, I might add. I even managed to get my shorts (whose various mends we've seen around here before) surviving through all the walking I had to do over there!

I want "if you think the canon is bad why being in the fandom in the first place?" graven on my tomb stone

2019 is the year we stop obsessing over fandoms we don’t particularly like.

I have nothing against having a roleplay account, but I DO have something against you cropping, butchering and altering someone else’s artwork (a commission made for someone else, even) to use as icon or whatever. Without credits. Because artworks aren’t made by real people after hours of hard work, artworks appear magically from thin air and are there for you to use and claim and alter, aren’t they? I’m tempted to start calling people out because if you are rude enough to butcher other people’s stuff without permission, then I can call you out like the sh**ty person you are. Full offense.

So as it turns out, creating something, posting it online, and having other people go "Hey this is pretty neat" feels really fucking good, actually?

Like damn, positive affirmation really do be amazing
