I Did It

Ok, this is amazing I recently passed the Tumblr shoelace ritual. Long story short, I was at a market day in my school and saw some stickers. Gandalf's big naturals. Even as someone who doesn't really spend that much time in the LoTR/Hobbit area of Tumblr, I knew about That. I couldn't help myself, it was right There. Probably far to giddily holding that Gandalf sticker (with wasn't just a normal old big naturals, mind you. That wizard was in a laced bra, usually enough to turn me redder than a tomato)

"Which one of you designed this?" I asked on of the two people at the stall (ps everyone was selling their own sruff, so I wasn't afraid in the slightest that the creator of this wouldn't be there.)

"She did," the one I talked to responded. Oh my heart was pounding. All social awkwardness completely evaporated in the face of THE most Tumblr Thing I could do.

"I like your shoelaces." Gosh, I wish I could have talked to literally anyone with half the confidence that I had in that moment. I'm pretty sure I saw just a tiny bit of life drain from their eyes. I'm so sorry but c'mon. Gandalf Big Natruals stickers. Did you really think you could avoid this?

"Thanks. I stole them from the president." I WILL RIDE THAT HIGH FOR THE NEXT MONTH, AT LEAST.

ps. If anyone finds my new buddy (I know it's unlikely but gotta give it a shot.) Just want to let you know that their art is amazing and you should definately by something from them if they take commissions.

I have made some lovely mugs, but I think this one might be my very favourite.

the design was a challenge, but sometimes a carving design will just …ring? like, I hate carving words, it grates, but carving all these ridiculous details (the web, the spider) made my brain hum at the right frequency

kinda wish I’d kept it

A one-and-done line of Worm Worldbuilding which I think about a lot is in Lisa's interlude, where she receives mover support from a jetpack user she describes as, quote, "one of the Silicon Valley Capes." Worlds unspoken there, right? That the Wormverse Silicon Valley has a distinct enough and well-known enough cape subculture that Lisa can visually identify him as one of them immediately. He's using a jetpack- a tinker? Or another kind of cape with Gallant-style tinker backing, because the expectation of advanced technology is the price of admission in that area? Mention is made of at least two rival corporate teams being in attendance, and this is the section of the book where they're still talking about things like the "tinker-driven tech boom." Do you see my vision? The expanse of twee-named 2010s tech startups fielding superpowered mascot-janissaries? The apps-as-services which are bogus, unsustainable ventures puffed up by flashy tinkertech demos that haven't a prayer of scaling? Sillicon Valley or The Social Network, as prosecuted with mechs and laser weaponry? The most insufferable corporate social media presences that you ever did see?
