Friendly reminder that finishing projects is not mandatory; share what you’ve got if you want, but you’re under no obligation to finish it. Is it no longer fun? Don’t force yourself into burnout just to slog through something that you’re getting nothing out of anyway

Historical clothing project basic outfit #1
Linen tunic: tabby weave, handsewn using cotton thread with flat felled seams. I bought the fabric on sale for about $30 CAD.
Leather belt thrifted for ~$3.
Linen shorts thrifted for ~$8 (we're pretending they have no zipper).
Wool socks: woven wool material left from a theatre project (so technically free), hand felted and handsewn using linen-wool blend yarn, also left from another project. Felled seams.
Garters crocheted from the same linen-wool yarn. Crochet is historically inaccurate but I was too tired to learn a whole new technique, might replace later.
I made my own patterns for the tunic and socks, loosely based on Roman and early Medieval styles but adapted to suit my daily needs.

Uhm... anyone interested in this silly little thing?
"Hear ye'! Hear ye'! A number of flawed individuals possess tools with dangerous power - and mysterious, godlike beings want to erase them for it. Is it because those beings sense corpses in these individuals' stead?" (A pitch for ya', dear folks).
I thought a community would be a good spot to have all stuff related to B\T (WIPs) in one place.
As to not scroll and scroll after it. Also, the Masterpost only has relevant stuff on it, not everything related to these WIPs. Unlike there.
You can learn more about B\T there or in here:

The trouble about being a creative person, is that you end up with more mediums of art than you can keep up with. I have ideas for more books, poems, drawings etc than I can realistically do at any one time that I jump between projects like hyperactive squirrel.
Not to mention the fact that I can mix mediums too, making more work for myself.

It may not feel like much, but even five, ten minutes every few days or so will get you along way further much faster than if you continued to hesitate and wade in guilt and shame of the idea of Your Project take longer than you Think it should. You're living in late stage capitalism babey it doesn't Matter if it takes you a year to make a hat, what matters is you're spending time on your creative projects and get to experience the highs and lows of making something start to finish- put on some music or an audiobook but get off your phone for a little bit it feels like rest to scroll but what'll be more restful is the peace of mind you'll have in knowing that you are actively working towards your goal. You'll feel accomplished and good and maybe even have a cool thing to use or look at when you're done. Please just 2 days a week if you can manage it, I promise nobody that matters is judging you for taking a long time, and if they did, you shouldn't give a fuck! Life is HARD right now and you deserve emo crochet arm warmers. If the tutorial says it's supposed to be easy peasy super fast don't let that dictate how fast You should go, it's literally your life you can take as long as you need and that's always going to be better than doing nothing.

What should I work on?
Decided to make a poll so people can decide which of my writing projects I work on next. Descriptions for each can be found below the poll.
Personal Investigations of an Overseer is a story set in a setting with mechs, it follows three characters. Fiena, the titular overseer, investigating one Aviip Eurid to figure out what secret this cybernetics expert is hiding. Orphea, a mech pilot who isn't over having recently been forced to reset her AI co-pilot. And lastly, Aviip Eurid herself, who's just trying to do her job and fit in. I've only written two chapters so far, and they can be found here
The Failure of Versprochene Zukunft is a Signalis fic, in the loosest of terms. It's in the same setting but has largely nothing to do with the game itself, the story will be about Kolibri unit 4255 exploring the space station she was meant to help maintain, it now having deteriorated while she was trapped in cryosleep until a girl claiming that the station's magnet-lock has trapped her shop docked to it, and while her ship definitely won't move, the station doesn't have a magnet lock. I've only written one chapter of this so far, it can be found here
Everything is Consequences is a story about one trans girl (still an egg at the start of the story) tearing a hole in the fabric of reality and then her and her friends all having to deal with that... Or, in some of their cases, ignore it and hope it gets better on it's own. I've yet to actually publish any of this story.
The Eldest Immortal has Already Seen this Dance is a story about a girl named Thaos, how she ends up becoming immortal, and how exactly that effects her. Basically I got annoyed with some ideas about immortality that pervade a lot of stories and decided to make a story to counter those ideas (although the countering those ideas won't come until... Late into the story). This project is also unstarted.
Kingdom Hearts: Destiny by Dice is a tabletop system of my own making based off of the Kingdom Hearts games, I haven't published anything with this yet but I have gotten a fair bit into the development process of it. If this option gets voted I guess I would be working on it until I can release edition 0.2 (yes, I AM calling the first edition 0.2 as a reference to fragmentary passage, I think its funny to do so). The idea is to translate the KH combat into tabletop form, and while I have no idea if I'll nail that in this first edition, I intend to workshop it until it's at least fun.

I have lots of creative projects I've either started and not finished or haven't even made a start on. They're things I want to do, I think I'll enjoy doing them once I get going, and I'm sure I'll get a sense of satisfaction when they are done - and yet they're still lying around the house in bags and boxes, neglected and lonely!
So I've made myself a kind of project bingo card, thus:
Tumblr media
My intention is that each month I'll complete one project and once it's done I'll decorate its square on the bingo card and post a picture of the completed project here. Obviously, health and/or other life nonsense might derail this fine plan, but let's be optimistic: on the 1st of each month I'll choose a project and on the last day of each month I'll report back. If the plan turns out to be too demanding then I'll modify it to be more realistic and as enjoyable as possible - we'll just see how it goes.
Please do feel free to encourage/pointedly enquire how it's all going every now and again - it'll help keep me on track :-)
Also, if you're in a similar position with projects you want to work on and you think it'd help to set up something similar, feel free to reblog or comment and add your own plans - I'm very happy to be project buddies!

❃ Pick-a-card: Tea of Empowerment ❃
I hope this PAC find you well. My 3rd pick-a-card reading. This pick a card is about self empowerment. Pick a tea and let spirits/the divine tell you how powerful you are. Sometimes, life can get disappointing and things don't work out the way you'd hoped and in those times you can start to doubt yourself and your abilities. So it is natural to be insecure in those low moments. But it is more important to acknowledge those insecurities, accept them and alchemise them into your greatest strength. I hope this reading will do just that. Pick from 1-4 and remember who you truly are.
P.S. I would be very grateful if you could tip me, only if you have the means to. It would encourages me to do more. Thank you so much.
Disclaimer: This is meant as entertainment only. Takes only what resonates.
My Master List.
❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃
Pile 1: Oolong Tea 🐉 (Drinking this tea may help you hone your power, you can also look up benefits of this tea)
You are someone who is connected to yourself. You know what it is that truly matters in this life. Even though life do tempts you, you still won’t take it for granted. Instead, you acknowledge how precious life is for you and always try your best to have gratitude. Even in discontentment, you still acknowledge the support you have around you, both from the people and from spirits. When you go through creative blocks or lacking in motivation, you don’t shame yourself for it. Through conflicts and confusions, even if everyone was against you, you are never against yourself. That’s what makes you powerful pile 1 and spirits are admiring you for this mindset.
Further more, you do not inflict pain to oneself or others. In the darkest times, where it seems like it would never end, you still believe in better days. Even if people around you do bring you chaos and try to take your hope from you. You still stand strong, that is your power. You don’t become jaded and you don’t think you are better than other people even if they did become jaded. You feel for them and hope that they will find their way again. You are very kind and very humble which makes you a powerful being. You are also always protected by other beings from other realms (Spirit guides, Angels, etc,).
In addition, in the mist of chaos, you can actually juggle it very well because of your organisational skills and what to prioritise. Even if sometimes you stumble, you’d always know how to get back to balance. You deal with the chaos of change really well and you also know how to balance work and rest so you won’t end up burning out. Like mentioned previously, you know what it is that truly matters in life. You go towards what you need and won’t let immature emotions (self-doubts, fears, ego, etc.,) getting in the way.
Spirits want to say that they are proud of you for working towards your personal growth. Even if it is uncomfortable and unfamiliar, know that you have their support. Any doubts or fears you have, you can send them over to your spirit guides for guidance. You can ask them for help and be receptive to those guidance. You are moving through the discomfort, for example; quitting a job, choosing a new career path or ending a relationship, know that it is because you want to grow. Even if your family, friends or whoever it is do not support your decision, know that you do and that’s what’s matter. You’re someone who’s not afraid to do the necessary work to develop true confidence and a sense of self. That’s is your personal power and it is very empowering.
Ultimately, as you continue to walk this path of personal growth, you would/will have the power to transform karma and become your best and brightest self. You will not back down from challenges and face the unknown head on because you will know that in both physicality and spiritually, you are strong. There's no obstacle you cannot overcome. You are the truth seeker who will harness the power that prevail all because you follow your heart.
Advice: 49. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDLY. Express your love through actions. It could be for someone you love or for yourself.

Pile 2: Chamomile Tea 🌼 (Drinking this tea may help you hone your power, you can also look up benefits of this tea)
Pile 2, you are someone who has a clear vision. You know what you want, your dreams and your desires. Your strong vision and clarity makes you one of the most powerful manifestors. Without clouds, without doubts, you solidify your truest dreams. You would never let anyone or anything stand in the way of your dreams. You are someone who is decisive and when you make up your mind, there is no stopping you. It is very powerful if you decide to go towards your dreams. For example, if you dream of becoming an actor/actress, you will not give up until you achieve it.
You won't just see the rose-coloured view of that dream/goal either. You see both sides, the ideal and the reality. You face the truth no matter how hard it is. And by accepting and admitting your wildest dream/wish you don't deny yourself the truth. This mindset makes you have that eternal hope and nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Another power that you have is the ability to overcome obstacles. If time is one of your obstacles, you will overcome that too. You know that you don't work alone, you know that you are co-creating with the universe. You are someone who is loyal and dedicated to the things that you decide to work on whether it'd be work or personal/relationship growth. But you don't take on unnecessary burdens and grip on too tight onto these goals.
Your patience is one of the most powerful tools and time would only reveal the rewards of your hard work. Even if you don't have the necessary tools/knowledge to do something, you don't give up but you will wait for the right opportunities to gather the necessary tools to continue cultivating your empire.
Another power you hold is that you have an open mind, even if you know what you want, you are not too rigid in your thinking. You don't think that you are always right, you will listen to others opinions and suggestions. You don't listen only to your mind but your heart as well. You are not too stubborn to the point where it will hinder your growth, no, your thoughts are flexible but not too easily sway or tempted.
The things that you strive for, the things that you hold dear i.e. your truest wish, they are not shallow or superficial. It is not just status, money or material gain. It is more than that, it is your purpose, your calling, a part of your soul essence. It is a journey towards your truest self, your home, cultivating a sense of self-trust. This is your power.
You are connected to the deeper truths of life, no matter where it will leads, you are not afraid to take. The life experience and knowledge you collect along the way will be your greatest achievements and it will help tell your story. You understand that whatever you are going through, it is part of life, part of a great story and you are the main protagonist.
And finally, your perception is your greatest assets, your mind becomes your most powerful tool as you are on your way to the highest enlightenment letting go of egotistic mindset. With your ability to see the truth clearly and the courage to pursue your passion makes you the most powerful creative being, expressing your creativity and desire without shame and guilt because you honour your expression.
Advice: 40. BE IN THE PRESENT AND DREAM OF THE FUTURE. When we dream, everything is possible.

Pile 3: Peppermint tea 🌿 (Drinking this tea may help you hone your power, you can also look up benefits of this tea)
For pile 3, you overcome a lot of hardship and obstacles. You always come out of hard times victoriously. Like a warrior coming back from wars, you manage to win every battles and you win them with fairness and integrity. What makes you powerful is when you are in a difficult situation or a dark period of your life, you do not jeopardise your morality. There is honour in how you fight demons. You don't stoop low to their level and get your hands dirty. Most importantly, you don't let yourself become jaded and apathetic. You always look back at those dark times with gratitude.
What makes you more powerful is your foresight, you'd always see a better future so you don't dwell too much on the past. You are certain that it is only up from here and you will do anything to recover lifting your spirit. You battle your negative emotions with your sharp mind and perception bringing in the clarity needed. Nothing can cloud your judgement when you have the knowledge and experience. Every lessons learned are tools under your belt for future victories. There is nothing you can't conquer and you know this. Unlike others, you don't give yourself a hard times, there is only room for constructive criticism, never unnecessary reprimanding. This trait makes you powerful avoiding unneeded self victimisation and self pity.
Another trait that makes you powerful is that you are in your power, you are complete. You feel home within yourself, you acknowledge this and celebrate this. You worked on yourself, confronted your shadows and the deep hidden wounds from the past. You delve into the dark and face your fears where you address your anxiety with kindness, reasons and acceptance. You address your self doubts with reassurance. You are not afraid to look yourself in the mirror and accept who it is that you see in front of you. You accept yourself for who you are, destroying the guilt and the shame that was place upon you by external influences.
You are not afraid to see and confront what fears is holding you back. You would find out if it's the fear of abandonment, fear of success, or both or other types of fears that have been hindering you. You would bring awareness and illuminate the type of fear you are dealing with then you would take the next practical step and work through those fears. Thus, once you know what fear to confront, you will work on it patiently and persistently and would come out victorious.
And sometime, you might even have fun with doing these shadow work. These darkness fuel your creativity, your life's poetry metaphorically or literally if you are a writer. Because you know darkness, you can appreciate the light and life is much more flavourful.
What makes you even more powerful is when you are in your lowest of lows, you never lost your loving nature. A beauty from both within and radiating outwards. People around you love this sense of grace and calmness you exudes. With so much hardness in this world, you brought a sense of softness and tenderness that is full of gentleness and compassion. Because you hold the wisdom of the divine within you, you know that you are part of the divine, the universe's will. Divinity runs through your vein.
Your faith in the higher power makes you hone your power and align to your higher self. A strong relationship exists between you and the divine. A strong third eye, you see beyond this dimension, this timeline. You see into the future, again, your foresight is highlighted, with your strong intellect and intuition. You are powerful because you know you hold the deepest wisdom and you are not afraid to use them.
Advice: 13. MIRACLES AND BLESSING. Everything has its gift. Recognise and accept the blessings that have occurred in your life.

Pile 4: Black Tea 🌑 (Drinking this tea may help you hone your power, you can also look up benefits of this tea)
Pile 4, you went through so much hardships and burdens. The journey had been difficult. It made you feel like you've been climbing up a mountain carrying heavy rocks. These responsibility and burdens you're carrying, most of it is not even yours. There are too much responsibility you've taken or someone has given to you that is making your connection with your intuition a bit hard to access. You have a powerful intuition and strong psychic wisdom pile 4. But to be able to access it you have to sit in stillness, sit in silence and listen. Put down those misplaced burdens and instead of climbing, it is time to fly.
It is always those who are the most powerful that tend to suppress their power because they know subconsciously the influence and impact they hold, could do to themselves and to the people around them. With that being said, I can see that you are a very powerful being but most of your powers are hidden. Whether subconsciously or consciously, you kept your power hidden. You actually have psychic power that allows you to see potential futures. But you might suppress this because it scares you. Before, you'd only see 'bad' futures. These 'bad' futures you saw might be a result of the people surrounding you. Your environment may be full of pessimistic and negative people and their self fulfilling prophecy. That is not favourable in term of how it would influence and affects your psychic ability. However, if you actually try to see your predictions for what it is, you will be able to predict more realistic futures that are not so extremely 'good' or 'bad' but more factual and genuine.
What makes you powerful is that you have the potential to envision the future, like a visionary, you get a peak into the unknown. You can see potential futures where all your goals and desires come true. A way of life you always wanted to live. But your insight is not shortcoming. In addition to the vision, you also posses the ability and capability to critically assess those views. These skills would ground your vision and materialise them into the 3D.
You are honest with yourself and others about these visions you see. You'd know if it's just a groundless dream or a potential one. You'd observe your surrounding, your present moment, actions, details, and patterns. These clues aids you to asses if the vision you see can come true. This makes you powerful, therefore, your judgement have never been wrong, both the good ones and the not so good ones. Your judgement have always been right whether the people around you listen or not, you are always right. Sometime spooking people, they might think that you can actually see the future which genuinely, you can.
Whether people believe you or not, that's not your problem. You know yourself and over time you learn to trust your own judgement and discern accurately what's to come. These help you to be ready and adapt to take on whatever that will transpire while also simultaneously accessing alternate future outcomes that may be better. It is very hard to blind sided you pile 4 and that makes you powerful.
Your discernment is also what makes you powerful. You don't give away your time, your love or your energy easily. Now you know better, people need to earn your energy with respect and gratitude. Even though your cup of love is pure and authentic, it is very exclusive and hard to come by. If people are overlooking it then it is their loss. However, not only that it is hard for you to love, the opposite is also true. It's hard for you to 'unlove' as well. If you deem that person is worth your love you will be very loyal, 'do or die' type of energy. You would stick to that person till the end, never letting them go no matter what happens. This makes you a powerful friend and frightening enemy.
Another trait that makes you powerful is your enthusiasm for life. You are self-reliant and can handle hard challenges with ease. That may be why people come to you with their burdens. Again, do not take it if you don't want to. You are an independent, responsible individual who takes care of your own things. In truth, you carry so much wisdom within and can achieve far in this life. You might love travelling and have a lust for faraway lands. You heal and impact a lot of people that come into contact with you. You help ease their burdening path with your light and playful energy redirecting them towards a more favourable futures potentials.
But people tend to underestimate your impact and intelligent, thus, please remember not to underestimate your own power. Know this, most people you meet, they would need you more than you would need them. It's because you are so capable alone, literally, you can reach the stars. But because you are kind and you understand the law of oneness, you are willing to help those in need. Therefore, your existence alone is already very powerful.
Lastly, it is very important for you to release and lessen your load more. You are a strong and capable person who can take on a lot but that doesn't mean you should. Self-care, self prioritisation, rest and rejuvenation is very important for you and would make your power more potent.
Advice: 21. CHOOSE LOVE. You always have choice - make yours with love. It is because you are very powerful being, your choice have more weight and impact on those around you.
Advice: 9. SLOW DOWN. Pause and allow things to unfold.

Another thing about not worrying if your work is good or bad is that… well, if you’re always annoyed at yourself for what you’ve created, not only will your creation seem worse to you than it actually is, but you’ve also ruined the experience for yourself
If you’re always getting annoyed or upset when you create things, you’ll associate those feelings with being creative. And that’s just one more roadblock to Doing The Thing

I finally figured out how to do this kind of embroidered mend for the tiny holes in Harry's sweaters. I thought the maroon sweater was some crappy acrylic but mended anyway, then realized it's actually a silk/wool thermal blend, so that was cool.
Yay for not rotting! (Still rotting a lot because brain. But doing little bits of things in between because hope.)

It had nowhere to go, so I wrote it
Tumblr media
I'll wrap you in powdered petals of peony, tied with a piece of red silk string, heat a small spool of wax, tamp it down with my warm seal, then tucking you gently into the space behind my ribs where a steady beat echoes into chambers flushed with blood, holding you with me until my last breath connects into the stream of rebirth.
