“You have my sword” said the Ranger. “And my Bow” said the elf. “And my axe” said the dwarf. “And all of my guns” said the American.

So as I do more original designs I want to document the design process because I'm trying to build a portfolio for academic applications. This is one of those pieces. I'll still be doing cosplay, but I'm trying to focus on less "copy this design" and more technical skill and inspiration to influence design, hence the name change a couple of months back. This was a fun project I undertook with fabric from my regular silk guy (store 2074 at the Yongle Fabric Market) because it's relatively affordable here compared to the UK. I've been challenging myself to undertake more handsewing projects and honestly?? I prefer it. I've handsewn a lot of my recent projects and honestly if it weren't for the time factor I'd do it for every single project. Let me know if you find these slides interesting at all? I made them with the intent to record them in my portfolio but I could always use feedback like "needs more detail in this area etc". These photos were taken on self timer at the park surrounding the Chang-kai Shek memorial hall.

When talking to toddlers, you have to be extremely, explicitly clear about what you say, cover every possibility you can think of in which they might misunderstand it, and with trial and error and experience, you'll learn to also cover the possibilities that wouldn't have crossed your mind. If you tell a toddler, "whatever you do, do not touch that electric wire. Not even with your pinky finger, because if you do, you will die" and once you're finally sure they understood that, you'll turn your eyes away for two seconds

and they're right at the wire, trying to see what happens if they'll touch it with their pinky toe instead.

You don't usually have to do this with adults. An adult who is allergic to pineapples can hear someone say, "eating pineapple is good for you", evaluate this piece of information, conclude that this is probably true for people who aren't allergic to pineapple, shrug it off and carry on with their day.

Unless you're on tumblr. Tumblr posts must be worded like toddler talk, cover every possibility in which someone might misunderstand it, remember to mention people who do not have this problem you are talking about, cannot employ this solution, or who otherwise have nothing to do with this conversation.

You can't just say "eating pineapple is good for you", you'll have to make sure to specify "eating pineapple is good, unless you are allergic to pineapple, in which case do not eat pineapple". And then get promptly informed that you you forgot to mention people who suffer from some extremely rare cliantro-soap-gene that makes pineapple taste like ass, and consequently offended someone who still ships Harry Potter Characters.

okay so there were a ton of posts/fics about the hilarious "fuck/maryy/kill" Bruce Wayne & Justice League scenario (I read them all, amazing comedic timing y'all) but to me, the most hilarious scenario is the JL play fuck/marry/kill, Bruce's name comes up, and half of the people in the room in the know immediately turn bright red and refuse to keep playing and no one will explain why.

Hal: "...and I would fuck Bruce Wayne. No, I would kill him. Nah, actually I'd fuck him, who am I kidding."

Clark: choking on his coffee and rapidly turning an alarming shade of red

Diana: "An....interesting choice, of course."

J'onn: "Shall we play a different game?"

Hal: "Wait, what? that was the game, wasn't it?"

Ollie: "I'm with Hal, I'd fuck the shit out of Bruce. He's the easiest guy I know, it's not like it'll exactly be a hardship for him."

*every single person in the room turns to Batman, standing in the corner*

Clark: "Wow! I think I just heard someone drop an ice cream cone in Guatemala. Batman, I'll need a team up."

Ollie: "For ice cream?"

Diana, standing up and putting herself in between Bruce and Hal: "This sounds dire. I will also assist."

Clark, under his breath, one hand on Bruce's back: "It's not worth it. He's not worth it. Come on. Walk it off."

Some of the things Zuko will say when asked if he's the Firelord while disguised as Li:

No, his scar is on the other side

His scar is bigger

His scar is smaller, the posters lied about how big it was

He's taller

He's shorter

He keeps his hair in nothing but a phoenix tail, the rest is shaved off

You just missed him, he was here last night

....my name is Li.

Bonus:

Someone asks if the person next to him is the Avatar. Aang immediately replies with:

No, I'm Kuzon Fire, but I get that a lot, no biggie.

He is also in disguise.

i must not get mad at mischaracterization of blorbo online. getting mad at mischaracterization of blorbo online is the mind-killer. getting mad at mischaracterization of blorbo online is the little-death that brings total obliteration. how many times am i going to type this long fucking phrase. oh wait copy paste. i forgor

Well you see minors under 25 years old should not be allowed to get gender reassignment surgery because what if they go to the clinic but instead of giving them a normal penis the nurses mess up and give them the evil penis. That's irreversible

every autistic person watching this episode of dungeon meshi:

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

it's wizarding hours just need to restyle the wig and embroider the hood

there's not much i wouldn't do to keep you here besides me
