Background Info - In a world where women no longer exist, society is split into two; dominants (the ruling class) and valets (who possess the 'inualidus chromosome' that allows them to bear children). Stripped of basic human rights, valets are expected to be entirely subservient to the dominants that claim them and few are prized higher than the valets of the WWE.

Summary - We now follow Seth Rollins on his bumpy road to Wrestlemania

The sobering truth is that the disinterest of others hardly ever reflects a gulf in vision. In fact there’s generally no good reason why others should care about most of any one artist’s work. The function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars. One of the basic and difficult lessons every artist must learn is that even the failed pieces are essential. X-rays of famous paintings reveal that even master artists sometimes made basic mid-course corrections (or deleted really dumb mistakes) by overpainting the still-wet canvas. The point is that you learn how to make your work by making your work, and a great many of the pieces you make along the way will never stand out as finished art. The best you can do is make art you care about — and lots of it!

Hexagon Quilt

[rumade]

This is the second time I've seen a video of this technique and this explanation is so clear! It does use more fabric than English paper piecing (EPP) but you end up with a double sided hexagon so don't have to source fabric for the backing.

I'm doing EPP at the moment but I have a hole punch to make the papers and just use leaflets and junk mail, so it doesn't feel wasteful. I don't think it's difficult either- in the video she mentions it's not for beginners, but I don't have that much experience with hand sewing or EPP and I've been finding it pretty easy so YMMV

[lindstromm]

I saw this video yesterday and was seized with the need to try it out immediately. Lookit my cute lil' hexagon baby!!

Here is what the backside looks like. OP notes this takes more fabric than paper piecing, but that excess fabric makes it already triple-layered. Besides not needing backing fabric, I don't think you'd need batting for this quilt at all. It's already thick and soft just from folding all that fabric into a hexagon.

[thlayli-ra]

I rewatched the Punk V Gunther match at last year's Summerslam today and now I'm revisiting the Winner's Room fic I started for them but never completed.

An oldie from when I was hyper-invested in Finn and Seth being boyfriends and decided to have just a teeeeeeny bit of monsterfucking. But now the Demon is back, I should go back to having more Balor and teeth and tongue and terror....

Anyway.

Set Free

Finn is frustrated over his booking. Seth can't change the script, but he can offer an outlet.

[peppermintquartz]

This one was set in the Playroom!verse and I really liked the idea of a Dom/sub relationship that didn't involve sex between the Dom and sub, and the idea of Finn training to be a Dom by learning exactly what subbing entails. Didn't really delve into that though, that was more of a background thing.

But I thought about Finn and Joe meeting as young men and well... Hot 🥵

Strangers in a Bar

Finn has been good. Sir picks out a guy for him.
