Yesterday I was (once again) bullied by postal services, but I got my package! Fabrics, wheeee

Looks like a whole pile of white bc... well, it kinda is. The green organza is for white lily's cape - I initially got a yellow crystal organza bc I thought it would look cool layered with the teal chiffon I got for the outer part of the cape, but turns out I absolutely hate how it looks with all the cool, blueish, dull greens. So I got this minty color instead and yellow goes into the stash for potential future use. I got it on sale so it was less than 1€/m, so I'm not too mad about not being able to use it here

The white fabrics are:

- voile to make some sort of chemise (+ maybe matching bloomers) to go under my corset

- a linen/viscose blend, viscose jersey, cotton jersey and cotton eyelet fabric to make some shirts/blouses bc I almost exclusively own dark graphic tees and I think my printed skirts would look great with light, simple tops

Will also serve as a test to see a) which fabric I like best and b) which style of shirt I like best to eventually also make a long-sleeve version or two. Bc all I have for layering in winter are button up blouses and they feel way too formal most of the time (also not that comfy)

Also got pliers to set grommets/snaps bc I really hate hammering them

Also also: awful lighting and the color eno barely show up on photo anyway, but all sketches are traced onto the good paper!

Need to clean up some parts and go over everything with an actual graphite pencil, but the worst part of the process is over, wheeee

So a while ago I stumbled upon this FE3H Ferdibert animatic to a cover of "For Good" from Wicked (and you should totally go watch it btw, it's so cute!):

And when I read the description to find the original, the names seemed kinda familiar... so I googled them and yup - those are Ferdie's and Hubert's VAs alright. So then I klicked on the original video and -

... it is *NOT* in character from any specific IP, are you really sure about that?

Binged through dungeon meshi in the last couple of days. Thought I'd check out the first few chapters of the manga bc I like the anime, it's funny. And it made me very invested very quickly. And it made me feel things. I was supposed to do a lot of other stuff today, but I think it was worth it, I had to know how it ends. Now I can rest easy

I mostly blame a twitter mutual and her delightful psyduck for this (and maybe a bit the copious amounts of pokemon art I'm working on currently) but now I kind of want a pokesona. No idea what pokemon though, there are too many to choose. Something small and derpy, that's for sure 🤔

Do you have a pokesona? If so, please show me, I'd love to see them!

Finally processed all the chilis from last summer - chili sauce for the red ones, jam for the brown ones :D

standing next to your food processor and watching it knead the dough for you makes me feel like royalty. my wrists are crying in relief

Getting a bunch of twitter notifications, all from bf. Who is currently at his workplace's christmas party. So I text him asking if he's bored and he answers "nah, just showed some people your stuff and found some posts twitter didn't show to me"

Like... he's probably drunk on a christmas party and shows his colleagues my twitter account. I'm not even sure how I feel about this, but it is kind of cute xD
