Frank! fantasy flavor!

rambles:

i really wanted to blend that monk-class inspiration w/ Frank's personal vibe... i like to think that i Succeeded!

i turned his tie into a sort of brooch since, yk. bowties aren't all that Fantastical. they miss the style. also i think they'd be more comfortable with something smaller since he's very active and needs a wide range of maneuverability

i bet Eddie or someone wheedled them into adding the leather shoulder pauldrons - leather to keep it a bit more flexy, and also. it just looks Cool!

figuring out what would replace his vest was tough. i didn't want them to be entirely unprotected, but i couldn't give him straight armor. though i will admit! a sort of tight-fitting crop top was Considered! but i landed on a gambeson vest as the best fit - comfortable, flexible, a Vest, while providing some level of protection! also, gambesons are quilted, which fits Frank's diamond-checkered vest!

ive already mentioned that one of my favorite outfit things is Flowy Pants Tucked Into Boots, so... that choice wasn't very character driven. except the boots are a tall ankle wrap - for that extra stability and strength! their shoes are pretty flexible and are only a few steps away from being slippers.

and the half-skirt - open skirt? - thing (still don't know what its called) is purely some self indulgence. i think Frank looks great in skirts!! also imagining him Throwing Down w/ the added flair of the skirt... damn. it'd probably help confuse enemies too - what're they gonna do next? who knows! the skirt is in the way and adding extra Movement!

i like to think that his knife is either in a sheath attached to the back of the belt, or they have it on their thigh (under the skirt) like Wally's bag. he probably never uses it... punching is the way to go for Frank methinks. it's probably reserved for cutting ropes and fruit

speaking of punching.... wrist wraps! inspired by boxing gauze! pads his knuckles, keeps his wrist compressed, its the best choice for physical combat. though the wrapped knuckles probably always have blood showing through anyway... or no yeah it's mostly other people's blood...

as for scars - Frank probably has quite the collection! i imagine that they've been picking fights since a young age, and in such a dangerous world he probably got hit a Lot until they learned how to hit back. and hit back Well. still, i wanted to give him a cool face scar with a very lame backstory - a book with a crisp, sharp spine corner fell off a high shelf and bonked them in the face at juuuust the right angle <3 he probably stays very fucking quiet about it which makes everyone think there's some intense traumatic backstory behind it. there isn't. Frank's just embarrassed.

closing note: i imagine that Frank has zero magic. literally none. cannot wield it for shit cannot utilize it. he's just like Howdy fr

Handmade Ruffled gingham cushion cover by Fabricsnug

Moving the guinea pigs from carefresh to thick cage liners and I am constantly accosted by demons telling me to buy $300 of cage upgrades...kitchen suite.....

Made myself a cushion cover with piping and zip yesterday. Took me 5 hours (with distractions and procrastination of course) because I'm rather estranged from the sewing machine recently and couldn't remember the process. But it has 4 siblings all ready for zips and headed for completion!

so I found out the chairs I bought today for $10 are actually a set of 1970s $3000 chairs. that's fucking crazy

i am so so so fucking happy right now. came back to my house today and saw packages and they were my shower chair that i got for christmas and the wheelchair my friend sent me!!!!! i actually have a wheelchair rn!!! like! omg omg omg. i've just been setting it up and rolling around the house and it's like holy shit. there are so many more things i could do now that i've either had to stop doing or have been doing in a way that wrecked my body. and past month has shown me that i need more support than a cane. like. the thought of maybe not having to crash in bed for three days after protesting. being able to cook some meals on bad days instead of only having energy for meal replacement shakes. being able to go out without worrying about how many seizures i'm going to have and if im going to fall and hit my head or if i'm going to have a seizure in a risky situation in front of the cops. even just the thought of being a tiny bit less fatigued is making me so fucking happy. AND HAVING A SHOWER CHAIR!!!! NO MORE HAVING TO SHOWER SITTING ON THE FLOOR! had a seizure on the bathroom floor this week and just. it's such a huge relief to have this i'm so so so fucking grateful right now.

i know that all the monkees have separate beds in their bedroom but I think some nights theyll push all the beds together so that they can sleepies with eachother:)

The long-awaited cushion cover!!! Finally complete!! After many attempts…

I went with a simpler design so happily I didn’t have to frog again, hooray! Pictured on my bed here but I’ve been using it on my desk chair mostly.

Yarn: Rico Creative Chic-Unique - Rainbow

Pattern: just two big flat granny squares sewn together, with an extra strip to fold over!

i'm deep cleaning my apartment today between 2d man posting and i washed all my sheets and linens n they are so soft and smell so good and i am so excited to go to bed tonight

I love your tlt art ! You’re so right that harrow would sleep without a pillow (hopefully she gets her peaceful sleep in atn or something actually)

Thank youuu~~ She was described in GtN as sleeping with her pillows piled on top of her and I was like HEY I KNOW WHAT THIS IS I GOT YOU GIRL

I've been meaning to make some cushion covers with this wisteria print for a while so I'm glad I finally managed to make them. The print looks more subtle on this linen fabric but I like the effect and the contrast with the purple fabric I used on the backs.

As usual two of these are on Etsy here, along with my other pieces. I'm hoping to print some more sunflower print tea towels soon and a few more Christmas cards and tea towels as well, before I focus on new designs.

I want. I really want to go back to uni suddenly. maybe prompted by speculating on the possibility that medicating adhd would make it tenable. but fuck I've been thinking about it all week. unfortunately more or less a month late to apply so I'd have to sustain the desire for a year
