Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

My dudes. I had surgery. I recovered. And then I had a fucking baby. I died twice doing it. But I made it.

She's 4 months old, doing fine. Introducing her to the Harry Potter movies as we speak. And I'm 100% fine with doing a thousand rewatches. We'll alternate between HP and LOTR.

Anyways. I'm back-ish. Hello.

Gnomeo and Juliet

[thoughtfulbreadpolice]

The first one I remember? The lion king(1994). I was 6.

[penny-anna]

anyway sound off. at what stage do ppl think Han figured out the Force was real. the boring answer is after seeing Obi-wan vanish but i think he could rationalise that away as his eyes playing tricks on him. what do we think.

[my-last-brain-cell-is-socrates]

Let me demonstrate my answer for you:

That's it. That's my answer. Endor.

Please just take a look at Han's face right after witnessing 3po float. The man just had his entire worldview blown to smithereens.

[whetstonefires]

that's so funny. that means he accepted Vader deflecting a blaster bolt with his hand as just something freaky government cyborgs can do, and stuck by Luke for multiple years as he tried to figure this Force stuff out, and just treated it like your friend getting really really into neopaganism to cope with a loss.

like yeah kid good job with the witching. i'm certain it will be more useful against your enemies than your sharpshooting. no i do not think your witchcraft is supplementing your aim but i'm not gonna argue about it.

[penny-anna]

yeah Luke was like 'I heard Ben Kenobi's voice in my head telling me how to blow up the Death Star :)' and Han was like 'kind of an unusual coping mechanism but I'm not gonna argue with him'

[davetheshady]

thanks to carbonite han not only misses learning about luke's training montage on dagobah, he's also half-blind during their whole escape on tatooine. luke's out there force-kicking henchmen with his gucci boots and doing flips and shit and han can't see a goddamn thing. now on endor luke's yeeting threepio with the power of his mind and han's just like 'the last time we hung out i had to stuff him in a tauntaun sleeping bag'.

Frodo Laid a Geas (and other invisible magic)

This was so obvious when I realized it, but I think most people miss it, because we’re so desensitized by D&D-style magic with immediate, visibly, flashy effects, rather than more subtle and invisible forces of magic. When Gollum attacks Frodo on the slopes of Mount Doom, Frodo has the chance to kill him, but he doesn’t. Instead, he says:

Frodo: Go! And if you ever lay hands on me again, you yourself shall be cast into the Fire!

Frodo’s not just talking shit here. He is literally, magically laying a curse. He’s holding the One Ring in his hands as he says it; even Sam, with no magic powers of his own, can sense that some powerful mojo is being laid down. Frodo put a curse on Gollum: if you try to take the Ring again, you’ll be cast into the Fire.

Five pages later, Gollum tries to take the Ring again. And that’s exactly what happens. Frodo’s geas takes effect and Gollum eats lava.

[mikkeneko]

On further reflection:

All the other people in the franchise who were offered the Ring declined to take it because they were wise enough to know that if they used its power – and the pressure to do so would be too great – they would be subject to its corruption.

Frodo uses the power of the Ring to lay a geas, and then five minutes later at the volcano’s edge, succumbs to its corruption. The Ring has gotten to him and he can no longer give it up. Because he used its power.

[mikkeneko]

On further further reflection: I’d have to read the section again, but I recall that after throwing Gollum off and laying the geas, Sam observes that Frodo seems suddenly filled with energy again when previously he had been close to dead of fatigue. He hikes up the mountain so fast he leaves Sam behind – and doesn’t even seem to notice that he’s left him behind. 

Could he have been drawing on the Ring’s power at this point in the story? At this point in the story we’re relying on Sam’s narration, and Sam doesn’t know what’s going on in Frodo’s head, so it’s hard to say for sure. Having used it once, after spending so long holding out against it, was that the breach in the dam?

Which means that the moment that Frodo succumbs to temptation is not the moment at the volcano – it was already too late by then. The moment he is taken by temptation was when he used the power of the Ring to repel Gollum.

If so, this ties in neatly with discussions I’ve seen about how Tolkien subscribes to a “not even once” view of good and evil – that in many other works it’s acceptable to do a small evil in service of a greater good, but in Lord of the Rings that always  fails.

[mikkeneko]

Re-reading Fellowship of the Rings, and I got to this passage in Lorien:

‘I would ask one thing before we go,’ said Frodo, ‘a thing which I often meant to ask Gandalf in Rivendell. I am permitted to wear the One Ring: why cannot I see all the others and know the thoughts of those that wear them?’

‘You have not tried,’ [Galadriel] said. ‘Only thrice have you set the Ring upon your finger since you knew what you possessed. Do not try! It would destroy you. Did not Gandalf tell you that the rings give power according to the measure of each possessor? Before you could use that power you would need to become stronger, and to train your will to the domination of others.’

In other words:

Frodo asks Galadriel, herself carrying a Ring of Power, “Could I, hypothetically, use the power of the One Ring to do something magical aside from turning invisible?” and Galadriel replies, “Yes, hypothetically, you totally could, assuming the magic you want to do involves laying compulsions on others, but I strongly recommend against it, because it would fuck up your brain.”

This was in the first book. At the end of the third book Frodo uses the Ring to fuck Gollum up, forcing him to throw himself into lava if he disobeys Frodo’s commands.

Talk about a chekov’s gun.

[mikkeneko]

Got to this point in my re-read and uh. This was a lot  less subtle than I remembered it.

‘Down, down!’ [Frodo] gasped, clutching his hand to his breast, so that beneath the cover of his leather shirt he clasped the Ring. ‘Down, you creeping thing, and out of my path! Your time is at an end. You cannot slay me or betray me now.’

Then suddenly, Sam saw these two rivals with other vision. A crouching shape, scarcely more than the shadow of a living thing, a creature now wholly ruined and defeated, yet filled with a hideous lust and rage; and before it stood stern, untouchable now by pity, a figure robed in white, but at its breast it held a wheel of fire. Out of the fire there spoke a commanding voice.

‘Begone, and trouble me no more! If you touch me ever again, you shall be cast yourself into the Fire of Doom.’

Then the vision passed and Sam saw Frodo standing, hand on breast, his breath coming in great gasps, and Gollum at his feet, resting on his knees with his wide-splayed hands upon the ground.

…

Yeah.

That’s a geas.

Just in Case

This is a belated fill for  @fluff-cember  Day 17: Snowed in as well as the WinterIron Discord Monthly Bingo December prompt  Snowball Fight 

Fandom: MCU/Marvel Pairing: Tony Stark/Bucky Barnes Rating: General Tags:  Established Relationship,  Romantic Getaway,  Cabin,  Snow, Fluff,  Summary:  Tony had assumed that Bucky would hate snow and cold and everything associated with winter.  He was wrong.   Word Count: 417 words 

Tony had assumed that Bucky would hate snow and cold and everything associated with winter.   He certainly hadn’t expected him to suggest they rent a cabin up in the Adirondacks for the holidays.   

“You know they’re expecting a record snowfall upstate.” 

Bucky shrugged.   “So we’ll make sure to bring plenty of food and maybe a generator.  Probably want somewhere with a fireplace, too, just in case.”

Tony found a cabin that fit the bill and made all the arrangements, including packing the back of the  SUV he’d rented full of the supplies Bucky had suggested.  They left in what should have been plenty of time to beat the storm howling in from the west, but that wasn’t the case. 

The last ten miles of their trip to the cabin took them nearly an hour and a half; it was snowing so hard Tony barely spotted the turnoff that wound through the woods and ended up in front of their new home for the long weekend.  

 While carrying everything into the snug cabin - already cozy and warm thanks to the caretaker - they managed  to track in enough snow to leave puddles on the floor.  Bucky volunteered to clean up if Tony would get the  generator prepped.   “You know, just in case.”  

It didn’t take Tony long to set everything up  - at their request, the caretaker had left them a couple of 5-gallon gas cans; In a pinch, they could power the fridge and a couple of lights for roughly a day and a half.  

The last thing he expected was to see Bucky standing on the porch with a snowball in one hand and an impish look on his face. “None shall pass!” he declared, and Tony barely had time to react before the softly-packed missile  hit him in the chest.     

“Oh, it is on, sunshine.”  Tony ducked behind the woodpile as he bent to scoop up a double-handful of ammo.  Their mock-battle raged for fifteen or twenty minutes, until they were both breathless and covered with snow.   

“Guess I shouldn’t have bothered to mop the floor,” Bucky laughed, brushing ineffectually at his sweater.  Tony joined him on the porch and shook like a dog, yelping when a bit of snow slid down the back of his neck.

“How about we get out of these wet things and slip into a nice warm tub?”  Tony suggested, waggling his eyebrows.  “Just in case the power goes out?” 

“Yeah,” Buck replied, a smirk lighting up his face, “Just in case.”

Angry Bilbo! Pt 2.

Fíli: Can’t believe you’re still fighting with a letter opener.

Bilbo: Can’t believe your brother fell in love with an Elf.

Fíli: *Gasps in dwarf*

Balin: Bilbo, is there a reason for all this anger?

Bilbo: Is there a reason why your king got you imprisoned for a week while I had to save your arse?

Balin: It’s because we ate the blocks of cheese isn’t it?

Me, talking to my husband about the Hobbit movies: Its funny but the reason the dwarves are letting Thorin act this way is because they're all affected by dragon sickness in varying degrees.

Him: and Bilbo isn't affected because he has another sickness-

Me: Homosexuality.

Him: .... The ring. The ring, Fulmi.
