OMG is this the new hellsite?

Just a simple blog nothing to see here.

[wine-dark-sky]

I was so scared they were heading for a romance subplot but congrats to Project Hail Mary for going for the far funnier option of 'Trolley Operator' and 'Guy She Is Actively Tying To The Tracks'. What a dynamic. Movie of the year.

How slutty is his ponytail?

Rating men's ponytails in wuxia/xianxia I've seen. Part 2. Part 1.

Jiang Cheng (The Untamed) 6/10

The most underrated ponytail in The Untamed. He's canonically "maidenless" but that's just because Zidian is even sluttier than his ponytail and that scares people. That's OK, boo. You're a solid 6 on my scale.

Wei Wuxian (The Untamed) 7/10

This ponytail isn't half as slutty as that luscious red ribbon that falls somewhere between necromancer work wear and sexy lingerie. Truly a look that takes him effortlessly from office to the club! Whether he's summoning the dead or making goo-goo eyes at Lan Zhan, Wei Wuxian's ponytail slays.

Wen Kexing (Word of Honor) 7/10

I really wanted to rate him higher but he mostly wears a little bun, which falls outside the parameters of this assessment. So I am rating this anemic little ponytail higher than it probably deserves.

Xiao Heng (The Double) 8/10

Duke Su always wears his hair in a neat, proper, masculine bun held by a golden guan that suits his high status and emphasizes his power. He only wears it in a ponytail in the situations where having long hair flying around your face could get you killed: during battle. He also does it when he's training shirtless in the rain, as one does. His simple, unadorned ponytail serves cunt way above its paygrade.

Xue Yang (The Untamed) 8/10

This crazy motherfucker's ponytail is just as chaotic and unpredictable as he is. He's so dangerous that even his ponytail could probably kill a man at 50 paces.

Young Zhao Yuanzhou and Li Lun (Fangs of Fortune) 9/10

I mean...just look at them! Can't even be bothered to comb their hair properly before tying it up in shaggy little ponytails because they know they're going to tumble right back into bed anyway, so why bother. So slutty.

Scorpion King (Word of Honor) 9/10

The braids! The silver and turquoise guan! The lavish yet restrained and obviously kinky longing they imply!

Mu Sheng (Love Game in Eastern Fantasy) 10/10

I've only seen a couple episodes so far, but this guy's ponytail is a whole mood. It looks like something a 1960s pinup model would wear, and he flounces it around like one constantly, pouting and letting strands of hair fall seductively over his face.

Xu Qi'an (Guardians of the Dafeng) 10/10

Xu Qi'an's ponytail is so slutty it's on OnlyFans. It's so slutty he needs to use birth control every time he does his hair. It's so slutty it whistles at construction workers when he walks past them. How long does it take him to curl his hair to give it the maximum bounce and fullness? Why does he also wear it on the top of his head like a 60s pinup girl? How can everyone tell he's not a virgin? PUH-LEEZE! I still haven't finished this show, but as far as I'm concerned, this ponytail is the star.

50 Free Typesets

New achievement unlocked! I now have 50 public domain books/typesets available for FREE in my library! 🥳 Above is a collage of all 50 title pages.

What does this mean? It means that these classic books have been typeset (typographic, book design, layout work done), and are ready as pdfs that can be used to read, print out, book bind, or burn at your pleasure! (Just keep it to personal use only!)

The full list (with page sizes now noted) of all 50 books available can be found here on my tumblrary directory/masterlist (which will update as I add more), and below the break of this post!

Please please feel free to request access to my library (aka, yee good ol' googly drive). I usually respond within 24 hours, and they are indeed free! Just leave credit if you use, and consider liking/reblogging!

Also, if you find any errors in the files, let me know! I made these in Affinity, not with an AI program, and typos are natural spawns XD

From Frankenstein to Pride and Prejudice, to Sherlock Holmes to a dude that wakes up as a bug, I've been honored to be able to typeset these books and share them with all of you.

A part of me wants to ramble on about the behind the scenes and my continuing personal journey of amateur typesetting...but I think the most important thing I can say is simply thank you! to everyone that's stopped by! So thank you all! (And should I try for 100? 🤔 Hmmm...)

It's August 21 which means it's Fan Fiction Writer's Appreciation Day! Fanfic is the lifeblood of any fandom and I hope all writers know how appreciated they are!

To celebrate, @renegadeguild ran an event whereby fan binders bound a work of fanfiction to celebrate. This year I chose Wishing on Runway Lights by inflight_gremlin.

This story is a beautiful love story in the mdzs fandom about a flight attendant, a stranded child, and the child's worried dad all snowed in and trapped during a winter storm. I chose it as my FFWAD project simply because I enjoyed the story, it made me smile and I thought it was well written and perfectly romantic. More details about the binding itself below the cut.

The fic was nearly 45K words long and with appendices the total page count was 221.

Text font: Sabon Next LT

Chapter headings/graphics: Canva

Design: Inflight_gremlin is an incredible artist in addition to being a fanfic writer so I took one of her drawings, created a silhouette in Canva, and then imported it into Cricut Design Space. The images and text were cut from silver HTV vinyl applied to ice blue bookcloth. The snowflakes were cut from iridescent htv using a punch and then applied.

Endpapers were purchased from Michael's and endbands were from my stash.

The typset was done in Word and took me way longer than it should have. I had some issues with the clarity of images in my test prints and had to start over and redo it. I am very happy with the result, however!

RE: Mykayla Skinner it blows my mind that someone can seek the attention of social media so desperately, then suddenly want it to stop the moment they are called out on their own behavior.

She sought out the likes and clicks until she was rightfully called on the terrible things she said. To be clear - there is a lot of focus on the "lazy" comment, but she said with her whole chest that she thought things were better before SafeSport. When athletes could be and were abused. And she fired those shots at women who were abused under that system. Who were SA'ed under that system.

And now, now she wants those same women to come to her defense? They owe her nothing. They may do it - because they choose to, because they're better people than I am, but they don't owe it to her. And yes, I will say no child should receive death threats. But you know how to avoid that? Don't make your infant child content for your "brand." Don't take a small child that cannot consent and plaster them all over social media to further your own dreams of being an influencer.

If her family is her top prority then maybe deactivate her accounts and focus on that family and disappear and the hate will die down. But she can't do that, because even though people are sending hate her way, it's still engagement. It still feeds the part of her that must be in the spotlight. For me, I intend to ignore her from this point forward because I think that our indifference is what will hurt the most. We should just not care about her. Because she isn't worth the time.

Happy Halloween! Have a spooky cat from Lan Jue's Really Bad Time in League of Nobleman. Seven and a half hours, done with Procreate.

an artist i follow got an ask about whether it was alright to use their art as covers for fanfic bookbinding and i'm. sorry i must have missed this discourse but since when are people outright printing out other people's work and binding them into books? do you contact and get author's permission (sure as fuck hope so)? and how do we writers feel about that, because i certainly feel very uncomfortable with that idea. i mean not to spoil the artistic expression of bookbinding because it's beautiful work that i most certainly could not do, but. you can access them stories any time you want on the websites where they were originally posted. why print them? again i mean i get the pleasure of holding & reading physical books, i much prefer that too, but like. get some books i guess? sorry i come from a place of honesty and tbh surprise and confusion about this whole thing. someone tell me how we're feeling about this. someone explain to me why it's being done. i just wanna understand

[keystonepublishing]

As someone who lives in a conservative country (Malaysia) and who has been in fandom for decades, I have seen sites like LiveJournal and FanFiction.net purge many NSFW fics, and of late there has been tens of thousands of fics being privated or deleted on AO3 as a result of authors not wanting their works to be scraped by snoopy AI-bots (Twitter and several art sites recently went through the same thing with AI art bots scraping people's artwork).

Hell, AO3 is currently blocked in China and FanFiction.net is occasionally blocked in Malaysia. Indonesia has blocked Tumblr, Turkey has periodically blocked YouTube, and many other nations have their own policies on blocking or deleting "offensive content", even if it's just a story of two guys kissing.

So I have personally seen fanfics and fanart I love get blocked and deleted out of existence time and time again, and it is heartbreaking to be a long-time fan of something to see a barren wasteland that was made from the scrubbing of stories. Which is why nowadays I try to save the ones I like by either downloading them or printing them. The adage "you have no idea what you had until it's gone" is very true for fans who have been through this.

And mainly for ficbinding, we usually do ask authors and artists for their permission to bind fics. And there is even a tradition of making an author copy of fics as a thank-you for putting such gorgeous works out there! For us, a well-written fic can be better than some of the published literature in bookstores (especially in censorship-heavy nations), and so we honor that creativity by turning something digital into something real, something that can take pride of place next to all the published works on a bookshelf.

Most of us do not make any profit from this, as we see it as detrimental to the idea of fandom and collaboration for all. For us, ficbinding is a labor of love for wordsmiths that have touched our hearts.

EDIT: If you have anymore questions, check out @renegadepublishing ! They have a Discord of fanbinders who can answer more of your questions! And check out the ficbinding and fanbinding tags - we're all just fans making fanwork out of our favorite fics.

[renegadeguild]

For those who are questioning "Why fanbinding? Why print fic?" Here's an excellent explanation from @keystonepublishing

[trippednfell]

As a fanbinder I always ask author permission. As an author, by all means make a binding of my work! I would be thrilled!

There is value and worth in preserving fanworks. Our history has taught us that.

[danmeireader]

This is my first binding, and it's one of my absolute favourite MDZS fics of all time, Would You Come Home? by s6115 (@unleashingroombas) It is so well-written, and I would periodically cry every time Sizhui discovered the absolute care, devotion and love that wwx had for him.

The book features handmade bookcloth, faux stab-binding with a matching pale gold fore-edge (done with mica watercolors), and the adorable bunny cut-out in the cover from a small scene in the story.

For fonts: Title is Leander, chapters are Moon Dance, main text is Cormorant Garamond Light, and letters are in Gabriola.

Thank you for commenting because I was going to scroll past this.

[cqlfeels]

One underrated aspect of MDZS is that usually when you have a love story where one of the lovers die, the lover who is alive is responsible for the dead person to come back to life. Think of princesses whose tears are life-giving, or princes who deliver the true love's kiss, or quests to the underworld seeking one's beloved. MDZS, though? LWJ is all but irrelevant when it comes to WWX's resurrection. So much so that even CQL, which plays up all romance tropes they possibly can, keeps that irrelevance

[cqlfeels]

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, broadly speaking, MDZS is full of people whose "I love you" to someone is answered by the world and fate with "So what?" Love doesn't conquer all in this story, in fact love usually fixes nothing at best and hurts you at worst, no matter what kind of love it is. I don't have any conclusions I can immediately draw from this but I'll be Thinking about it in the foreseeable future and hopefully come to some conclusion because I feel like I'm missing something major here but I don't really know what

[cqlfeels]

I can see this got a lot of notes and I'm really looking forward to reading the discussions but I'm trying not to right now because I feel like I have a thought juuuuust out of reach inside my brain and I want to get to it without external influences. But thanks for playing the overthinking game with me, you're all awesome!

[cqlfeels]

Got it. The thought that was just out of my reach, I mean, not the only possible conclusion, of course. (Do check the notes, there are some awesome thoughts in there!)

In a well-written love story, of course love has to play an important role. It has to do something, it can't be just an afterthought. And I can point to many ways in which love is either useless or destructive in MDZS, but it felt like an oversimplification to stop there. Yes, love, like everything else, is tangled up in the worst aspects of the world the characters live in. But to say there's nothing uniquely good about love in this world feels disingenuous? I never get that sense, I do get the sense that people are right in loving, even if the results of that love can be disastrous sometimes. And then it hit me.

Love remembers.

That's basically it. In a story where truth and lies are so central, love is about remembering. Grievances lead to grudges, thankfulness leads to debts - I'm sorry and thank you, right? Love leads to memories. You remember because you care, because you're paying attention enough to notice things in the first place. It's really that simple.

The sheer amount of mementos in this story should've clued me in tbh, but if it hadn't - I only had to think of how the story begins and ends. The antidote to narratives being spun about you is to have even a single person who will look at you, and see you, and remember you.

LWJ might be powerless to stop WWX's downward spiral, or to bring him back to life, but. He remembers his favorite wine and his sense of humor. He remembers him throwing flowers and playing with a child. On his body, LWJ has scars so he will never forget him. Oh, and he recognizes WWX because even in a new life, he still remembers their song.
