3/3
I finished a comic I've been working on for a long while now. It takes place in the fictional universe I work on in my spare time.
Enjoy.

Visible Mending
Introduction:
Visible mending is a decorative way to fix up an item. Instead of trying to make your mend as invisible as possible, the idea is to make it part of the garment's design.
Visual mending is not a single technique: it's more of a mindset. If you've got an item you love, it deserves to be mended, and if you're going to put that love into stitches, why not show them off?
That being said, there are some specific techniques that are popular with visible menders. Let's take a look!
Sashiko:
Sashiko is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery that is used to both decorate and reinforce fabric. In visible mending, sashiko is often used to cover up holes with patches or to reinforce thinning fabric. This technique uses a variation on the running stitch.

Some resources on sashiko:
SashiCo on YouTube: sashiko livestreams and information on the cultural aspect of sashiko.
Written tutorial by Upcycle Stitches.
Free sashiko templates by TheSpruceCrafts.
Fixing jeans with sashiko by Soluna Collective.

Embroidery:
Regular embroidery is also a popular technique to accentuate your mends. Check out my embroidery 101 post to learn how to get started. You can embroider patches, or use embroidery to hide or accentuate any stitches you've made to fix holes. Embroidery's also a great way to cover up stains.

Patches:
There are many ways to add patches to a garment. My tutorial on patches is a good place to start if you want to make custom-shaped patches to sew on top of your fabric. You can also sew your patch on the inside of your garment and have it peek out from beneath the hole you're trying to fix. Fun ideas for this are lace or superheroes.

Darning:
Darning is a technique used to repair holes in fabric by using running stitches to weave extra fabric over the hole as to fill it up again. While traditionally darning is done in an invisible way by using the same colour of thread as your fabric, you can also use contrasting colours to accentuate your fix. Check out this written tutorial on darning by TheSpruceCrafts.

Conclusion:
Visible mending is a creative way to fix up your clothes and give them some personality at the same time.
You should be proud of the fact that you took the time and learned the necessary skills needed to mend your clothes! Show off what you did!
A fun side effect of wearing these obvious mends is that people will notice them. They'll remember your fixes the next time they're faced with a hole in their wardrobe, and it will make them more likely to try it for themselves.
These are just a few ways to visibly mend your garments. Want more inspiration? Check out Pinterest or r/Visiblemending on Reddit.

Thank you for the tag @jhara-ivez
Yes, but be prepared for it to be clunky and difficult at times; the exploration still makes up for it as I see it
although morrowind is worth buying on its own, trust me, i've been playing it for 14 years now
hey vynblr i haven't seen anyone ever talk about arktwend, does it actually exist? is it worth buying morrowind for?

normal vs disordered: obsessional thinking edition
normal: thinking a lot about a genuine problem in your life, and then no longer thinking about it as much once you’ve found a solution
not normal: thinking a lot about a problem that does not yet exist, or keeping on thinking about a problem once you’ve found several solutions (because you need to find the perfect answer)
normal: being able to notice when you’re overthinking, and then directing your thoughts elsewhere
not normal: feeling as though your thoughts are outside of your control and like you just can’t stop thinking about a certain thing
normal: having the occasional sleepless night, particularly when stressed
not normal: taking over an hour to get to sleep each night because you just can’t turn your brain off
normal: being trapped in your own head a lot when your life is busy or stressful
not normal: not being able to escape your thoughts most of the time, regardless of what else is going on in your life
normal: you have the occasional thought that makes you feel uneasy or nervous
not normal: you keep having the same thought over and over again, and it keeps making you anxious/nervous
obsessional thinking and/or overthinking are common in all people when we’re under a great deal of stress or pressure. it only becomes a problem when it’s chronic, and causes you distress. try your best to seek help if you need it — it’s possible to live a life without this obsessive thinking!

another essay
One more essay to write. With the last one, the one about Uprooted, I ended up with 7,5k words. I've discovered a whole new world of pain during that journey.
...so hey, how about I write another essay about a book not in the literary canon? Is that A Stranger in Olondria I see on my bookshelf?

draft 1 status: rejected
draft 2 status: 6k words, a whole-ass paragraph comparing Uprooted and Annihilation still in progress, I hate this and I'm crying
I hate the amount of work I have to put into this thing, but I still love the book. Perhaps even more than before I started.
Damn, this will be such a waste of time if it gets me less than an A.
Decided to write my final essay for my Anglophone Fantastic Literature classes on the Wood in Naomi Novik's Uprooted.
It's almost 3k words now, and I'm still not sure if it's a good essay at all
but hell, am I having fun? yep
