Eagle got me into a funk, different eagle is going to get me out of it.

It grows. (Don't look at my tension misadventures, look at how much practice I'm getting 😤)

A large frame loom sits on two card tables. It is warped and several alternating color rows of of yarn have been woven on. The outer edges pf the pattern are a bit saggy.

A closer look at the weaving, with a hand for scale. Many yarn tails are tied off on the sides of the frame.

Imagine 24 of each color and they were all this perfect.

Now that I have a reason to get my life together in regards to what happens for Ashlesha in DT and the 17~20 years I'm going to put between 7.0 and 8.0, I'm looking for old off the cuff notes and. Man. I was mad as hell in some of my rot13 rants.

A translated rot13 box which reads: I wish Alexandria's presence in the game was not literally, figuratively, and narratively built on top of Tural because I'll be talking to an Alexandrian npc spitting the most SOMA-coded transhumanist cyber-horror shit I have heard in months, just really hitting my g-spot with it--

And then the story will suddenly stop to go "But we shouldn't force our beliefs on them just because their whole way of life is fueled by reaping the souls of indigenous people, we should listen and not judge, sphene only chose genocide because she loved her people sooooo much uwu"

Tl;dr: I'm used to compartmentalizing in order to enjoy things but the writers cannot seem to stop returning to this point like a dog to its own vomit and having the protagonists respond with nothing but Enlightened Centrist takes, and it sucks ass.

I need her back in her attitude era.

The same woman, seen from the front. She faces the camera with an anticipatory smile as the text finishes: "And I want that for [the Monk job symbol]"

I logged in to see my Lucia retainer is the wild part, but Ash always makes such a compelling argument why I should take a quick gpose. Just standing there like a rare and toxic swamp flower.

Re-read Southern Salt this fine morning because I wanted the levity and instead I'm sitting here emotional as hell about everything that could have been in the good timeline.

Don't fundamentally disagree with this answer since it's fairly obvious when you line up my faves both self-created and not that my most relentless attachments are to abhumans, but I also really don't like something about the way this explanation is written.

A quiz result which reads: "Alienation
You create from alienation. There is a distance not only between yourself and others, but between yourself and what you are expected to be, yourself and your own humanity. Your honest self feels too divorced from what it should be for it to have any place among everyone else. Your art is an expression of your estrangement from normalcy and other's expectations. It is strange and shocking because you feel that is what you are when you are not pretending to be otherwise. You do not create things to be pretty or pleasing to others, but to be raw and confusing. You have always felt different, so you want to create things that are remarkably different from the norm. It is an expression of your own strangeness, which seems to have no place but in your art. Your work is a sanctuary for everything that alienates you from the world at large."

Everything reminds me of her.

Every time I'm trying to fix my weaving techniques here comes this mean ass rabbit heckling me.

I also did a join for the first time, my sewing is sturdy but hasn't got a blessed bit of art or technique to it. Please clap for my firstwoven anyway, it keeps my loom waste contained.

Continuing in the vein of doing mendelian yarn squares, last night I decided I wanted a visual example of how all the warp interacts on the pin loom so I did a different color for all 3 layers plus a 4th for the warp. It came out great even though it's probably not usable 😅

An arrangement of squares made on a pin loom. To the left, brown cotton + lavender cotton/bamboo blend. To the right, brown cotton + pink cotton/bamboo blend. Between, offset at a diagonal, are the two blended yarn colors together.

A completed square still on the pin loom. Each layer of the warp had been giving a different color to see how they interact. Red on layer one, Pink on layer two, Dark Blue on layer three and Pale Seafoam for the weft.

Very excited about this since I decided today on a project I need supplementary yarn for and was not excited to spend more money / wait for my wallet to recover.

Wiped out from being a good spider at Yarn Crawl but finding a location that actually catered to weaving (most are aimed at knit and crochet) was worth it. Whole walls of brassard and beam cotton and I even got their last pin loom, which I am already obsessed with. 🌸

9 is not enough so accept these as sort of representative categories. Games I'm always chasing the feeling of, if you will.

Went looking for something in the old archive and came across this conversation and it is so glaringly before gen AI use surged to the level of being a constant dull throb in the back of the art community's collective skull.

a conversation between me and a friend, in essence describing that Allagan cultural decline and their penchant for casual cruelty might have stemmed from the overuse of technology.

Can't recommend enough the wikipedia entry he made for her, at the very least you should see Mrs. Benson's watercolors for yourself, they're all gorgeous! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Fo...
