despite wanting, i feel like obe having no interlude or no more main story role makes it better... as im concerned about U olga 2 fight with her unlocking the pretender class in the class score...
as lb6 is gone, the final curtain call has been drawn and he's stepped off of his role from the stage of avalon le fae but even so, he can still witness the person he cares about from the sidelines and events, even from backstage where he can offer respite without prying eyes and blinding lights (like in the form of passing mentions like in LA's valentines) i think its much more sweeter that way... and more in line with obe's train of thought.. i dont mind seeing him more but bringing him back in the main story leaves a weird taste in my mouth

5 years of Tumblr! here's to many more years of wearing and encouraging niqab (face veiling and headscarves) for everyone of all genders.
If you haven't worn niqab or veiled yet, take the initiative and put it on today! No excuses, anyone can tie a full veil with a few scarves.
Watch my quick and easy tutorial on how to tie niqab using square scarves (great for both men and women).
Remember - veiling is universal and perfect for everyone! It's the goal to get everyone on earth to wear niqab permanently to make us all equal and smash gender inequality.

I have started the embroidery for my wedding headband thing and I love it so much so far. It’s silk thread, glass beads, and some 1920s 24k gold wrapped thread I found for dirt cheap and have been holding onto. I designed the pattern from old embroidery motif books.

It’s my birthday and first wedding anniversary this weekend so I want to share my wedding dress! It is 100% made by me alone, and took close to 6 months. The final looks different from the original design but I’m moderately happy with the result. As an aside I also made my own jewelry and bouquet as well!
There’s several parts on it that make me want to cry and redo and some parts that I love. I’m notoriously picky and hard on myself when I make my own things but it’s hard to deal with dress regret when you did everything from design up to completed garment, you know?
The base layer is 100% silk from Ukraine, a shop called Secret Spark on Etsy. It was already a lovely purple but I did dye it a little deeper so it showed up better. After that comes a layer of a lavender and silver shift two tone chiffon from NewFabricsDaily, a layer of glitter tulle from Joanns, a layer of sequin squiggle from LaceFabricArt, and a final layer of tulle which the lace ( ElmaLaceApplique) was attached to.
Internally there’s a steel spiral boned corset made from a pattern by CorsetsByCaroline (modified Patsy) which is made of satin from my Mother In Law’s wedding dress leftover fabric.
A LOT of self drafting went into making this dress and I think I made it much harder on myself than I needed to by taking a normal 6-7 panel dress and making it 14 panels to match up with the base corset I used for the initial bust design. Why did I do this? Looking back, I have no fucking clue. It caused a ton of heartache and is the reason a lot of things are tugging in weird ways in some photos.
Truthfully though? It doesn’t matter how much I do or don’t like the dress because I am THRILLED by the person I was so very very lucky to marry. They mean the world to me and i would’ve married in a garbage bag and still been the happiest I’ve ever been. Love is so cool.

I'm sorry to hear that planning has been stressful, but best wishes this Saturday!!! I'm so excited for you and your wedding and your marriage and wish you every happiness 💕.
Thank you! I am very excited too! Mostly because I get to marry the love of my life 🩷🩷🩷 but also because there are only four days left and judging from my track record this last month that means I will probably have to deal with🤞🏼only🤞🏼four more things going wrong! 🎉 And then I’ll be married to my favorite person and the stress will probably be gone! ✨
(Please send good vibes my way it’s been a very weird hectic month 😂)

I had this really cool idea in my head of using a spider web as a wedding veil and here’s a new oc! Her name is Aranea which is literally just spider in Latin. But don’t let the name fool you, she is genuinely a harmless ghost as long as you don’t count how clingy Aranea is...
The poor girl ended up falling in love with a handsome stranger that sadly left her at the altar and she wore that veil every single day until it became threadbare to the point of looking like a spider web. And ever since her death from a broken heart, Aranea has been looking for someone to replace her beloved who will actually keep their marriage vows even if it means literally entrapping them in her ghostly webs so they can’t leave her. Most ghosts avoid her since they assume she’s like a black widow that kills their partner, however, its actually the exact opposite because Aranea is extremely lonely and wants someone to share eternity with.
Ironically, Aranea’s extremely talented with sewing and embroidery which is something she enjoys doing in her spare time and she even makes clothing out of her special ecto-energy spider silk which just like the real thing is incredibly strong yet light as a feather. She’s shy at first but sweet and motherly once you get to know her. However, the fear of being abandoned again does run the chance of making her take on a much scarier form to prevent anyone from doing that. So as long as she has plenty of reassurance you’ll be back to see her again soon then you’re free to leave, if not...
Run.

For the worship thing - remember that psychopomp costume you made? I have no words to describe the entity/occurance you fall under but that is your head priest garment
You're so fucking right my guy!!! Death, decay, the passage of time/life itself and all things forgotten and faceless are an enormous part of me and my belief (hence my inclination towards fungi too) and tbh making this costume was a love letter to all of that! ❤️
