Javicia Leslie in Chef Julian (2015 - 2017)

HOW HAS NO ONE MENTIONED THE CHOPSTICKS?? You wrote this way before Haegum and also they went into the wrong body in Haegum 🤣 BUT STILL!! THE CHOPSTICKS!!!!

UGH, the violence in this chapter is honestly so well written I could see it like a movie! All of it was amazingly written, but sometimes fanfic can get script-y in a way that's distracting, and this was so very much NOT that. Everything flowed so heartbreakingly beautifully like there was a camera in the room for the world's worst Bangtan Bomb😭

Yoongi's words to Tae and Jimin had me hot all over, and I know it shouldn't, but GOOD LORD

Creator Min Yoongi is someone VMin done forgot they shouldn't fuck with because Joon got them all distracted with his unrestrained crazy. Controlled crazy can be much more dangerous my (NOT ANYMORE 😤) friends and I hope that reminder sticks.

"It's not your turn yet" FUCKED ME *UP* like yes Master be busy and still control every body in the room Y.E.S.

You did our bipolar sign proud with this chapter Sibi you really did 😭

I gotta let in on a little secret fjadjfa I actually changed that scene after Haegeum FJADFJ in the original draft Jimin rams a knife through Yoongi's neck and Yoongi merely grabs him and throws him. I ADDED THE CHOPSTICKS PART SOLELY BECAUSE OF HAEGEUM YOONGI AND I AM NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT 😩😩

also hahahah "world's worst bangtan bomb" OMFG PLEASE lets hope this never actually happens irl because omfg 😶😭😂

RIGHT?? I agree with you so hard omfg and it's so HOT NFADSN I NEED HIM SO BAD NFDNF 😩😩

I look like Victoria era Baby Spice who allowed this???

I "self drafted" this pattern, which normally means just cut out rough shapes and wing it but today meant actually draw shapes on paper and then use that to cut out fabric. Well done me.

I have never gathered sleeves before, and these are only the 3rd (pair of) sleeves I've ever set, so I did a practise sleeve to test the gathering amount and shape. It was a smart choice because my original sleeve pattern was a rectangle up to elbow but based on my wrist measurement, forgetting I have forearm muscles 🙄. After the tester I made the sleeve head deeper and wider which was a good move for extra puff. The foresleeves are a little long but can be adjusted while wearing coz they're very fitted. The wrist hems (is it a wrist hem? Or is it called something else? Is it a cuff if it's not a seperate piece?) Got a bit stretched as my wrists are much narrower the machine and i had to stretch it around the machine to sew it (no i won't sew by hand don't ask) but that should be fine with a wash.

I've also never done a turtleneck before and that went pretty well (after the first attempt where I forgot to turn it right way out before attaching to bodice), it's a little wide but I dont mind that. The shoulder seams are a bit long, I gave myself a generous (for me) 1. 5cm on either side for seam allowance but then used my 'overlocker foot' and binding stitch which meant the seam allowance was way smaller. The paper pattern was actually accurate and next time I'll stick to it. I may bring in the pointy bit under the armscye in just a little.

Perhaps DON'T try to use the overlocker-like technique over gathers though, I broke my first needle into 4 pieces 😶 it was my only ballpoint so the sides were closed with a regular needle which worked fine but i know is not great practise.

The inside of this top looks the neatest of anything I've ever sewn, so this is good reinforcement for actually finishing seams. (I didn't press anything and i know it did make some things harder I just don't have room to set up the ironing board atm)

I got 2 metres of this fabric as part of a big bag that was someone's destash and I'm glad I didn't pay money for it because although it's cute, sewing with poly blend fucking sucks. There's fluff everywhere and my shit pins wouldn't have a bar of it. Also my scissors which are Very good and practical new struggled with 2 layers even though it's quite thin.

I'm very pleased finally set up my little sewing nook, and that I knocked this out in one evening. I'm going to wear it tomorrow (on Wednesdays we wear pink), even though the style is a bit unusual, I don't really care about that. I've got my sewing groove back and am very excited for when my walking foot arrives and i start The Overalls Project. That will involve 1. Wearable mock up in sturdy cotton (I will then cut to be short overalls/romper). 2. Pink cordorouy overalls. The wale on the pink cord is quite narrow so these will be a low stakes extra mock up/bonus pair that let me practise with metal buttons and handbound button holes (don't love the way my machine does it). 3. The real deal yellow overalls. Which came to me in a dream and will have a patch above the knee of the little white forest spirit from Toroto.

My Daily Life #6

Day 6 & Today was a rather dramatic day in terms of my emotions. Over the past few days, I was relatively content with myself and I didn't worry about the future, but today I found myself thinking & kind of being upset about my current self. So let me begin.

I woke up quite early today at 8:30am & got myself a haircut at home as I wanted to look my best for my cousin's engagement party. After that I had some breakfast & started getting ready to go for the event. My Dad & I reached the venue and attended the engagement ceremony along with other family members & relatives. My cousin is 29 Years old (which is seen as relatively a young age to marry in my State) & I am 22 Years Old and I have never even dated a girl in my life, whereas my cousin right here is getting married. I know its kind of stupid to think like this right now, but today I started feeling insecure about me being unable to date a girl. And seeing both of them really in love with each other, smiling at each other made me feel really single as well. I hope I can get through this period of I don't know, stupidity/depression I guess?

In other news, I got information that I will be going to Philippines in December. I'm kind of excited & anxious at the same time about this. Let's see what happens.

PEACE✌️

(BTW I was supposed to post this yesterday, but I saved it as draft & forgot to post it😶)

i'll ask you these two questions, too! - What do you wish more fic authors would do? 😮 What do you wish more fic authors would stop doing? 😶

Hi @dayseternal-blog! Thanks for sending this ask! Hope you're well and safe wherever you are 😘

Sorry for the delayed response, this was saved in my drafts and I forgot to post it lol.

What I'd wish more for fic authors to do:

Hmm... Maybe proofreading? I come across some fics from time to time that would have noticeable errors. Usually I don't mind those at all if the overall flow of the story is good/can still be understood and if there are only few instances of those typos in a fic. But if I notice that certain words had been misused or incorrectly typed almost consistently in the entire story (sometimes we can blame autocorrect for those), I couldn't help but get distracted by them. So yeah, proofreading helps (if there's time to ask for a beta-reader to check too that would be good, but it's not really necessary... As long as a story gets reviewed before getting posted to spot and correct any glaring errors, that would already be enough)

What I wish fic authors would stop doing:

There are times that I'd come across some stories that don't have proper spacing or breaks between lines/paragraphs so sometimes it makes the story hard to read or it gets confusing in identifying the character dialogues, time skips, setting changes, etc. So I guess that could be something that I'd want writers to be mindful of or avoid doing with their stories.

Also, I hope that all authors know that they're really appreciated for all their hard work and time spent for writing, and to always remember to take care of themselves. It's okay to be immersed in writing, just make sure to take proper breaks, hydrate, stretch, etc. (this also goes to the readers hehe)
