pre-1980s craft books: this is the correct equipment. this is the correct ergonomic setup. this is the correct technique to achieve this result. here's a progression of increasingly difficult projects that will teach you the foundational skills of the craft.

modern craft books: idk, you do you. whatever you feel like :) there's no wrong way as long as it makes you happy :) i'm not going to tell you anything. here are some pretty pictures :)

#this is about so many crafts btw #but in particular #weaving #and #bobbin lace #there are obviously good modern books too #it's just impossible to tell from the covers if it's a useful book or a book of pretty pictures and vague inspirational statements about AR

Band of Brothers (2001) + dog tags

The tag itself individualizes the human being who wears it, despite his or her role as a small part of a huge and faceless organization. While the armed forces demand obedience and duty to a higher cause, dog tags, hanging under service members’ shirts and close to their chests, remind them of their individuality. - Library of Congress, Dog Tags: History, Stories & Folklore of Military Identification

"JK Rowling can't write world building" my arse. There's like an entire book in those few sentences

#jkr #hp #also i just appreciate the layers to this #like on one hand: there's someone pranking muggles by making toilets explode at them which - contextless - is pretty hilarious #some poor wizard officer is gonna have to investigate toilets that poop BACK. he's gonna have a map showing london neighbourhoods #with little toilet shaped pins. where will the culprit strike next???#but then you remember that this is also the book where voldemort is back (even if he's hiding)#and fudge's ministry is pretending he isn't and the anti-muggle sentiment isn't real or on the rise or anything #suddenly the anti-muggles prankster is not so funny anymore #also 'it's too trivial for aurors' (because who cares? it's just muggles getting covered in poop after all)#and mr weasley who works with 'muggle artefacts' has one colleague and they're crammed in a windowless office #subtlety!!! we love to see it!! (well i do. i suppose i shouldn't expect that from the average YA reader..)

Hello! You mentioned you took requests, so could I perhaps request Horizon Duo (Sky+Four) doing something together? Napping, chatting about birds, Sky toting Four around like a stuffed animal, protecting each other in battle, etc? :3

Sorry this one took so long! I wasn't sure if you wanted art or a fic, but I couldn't get a fic rolling so I just drew it? Between the hands, birds, and Four's pose being very very weird and now just not working at all, it took me a bit, but it's done now! (just don't look too close LOL)

Drawing Crimson and Zeffa was not something I thought I could do, so thanks for the push!

#Ketto draws #asks and answers #linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu four #lu sky #my sister nearly murdered me over this one #I apparently gave sky “godly thighs”#and then I put pants on him and I swear she was gonna strangle me for covering it #lol #ah #the troubles of drawing #four is a prime example too #I underestimated how much room there was between his face and the ground #but he came out so pretty!#I had to build his pose around everything else #and I didn't dare erase his face because there was NO WAY I was getting it that good again #so his pose is weird #sorry ab that

I found an absolute treasure today. A Penguin Illustrated Classics edition of Pride and Prejudice from 1938.

(I love that you can see on the inside of the dust jacket on the bottom right the price in 'old' money of 6d... aka sixpence or half a shilling!)

#jane austen #pride and prejudice #classic lit #classic literature #pretty books #my collection #copies of pride and prejudice #now the oldest book in my collection! i have emma from 1939(?) i think #i forget but i should photograph that too #eagle eyed observers will note yet ANOTHER copy of northanger too #the cover is gorgeous and i already had persuasion in that set #then i found NA MP and S&S in that series too today for £1 each and you know #would've been rude not to so they came home with me lol #i also found longbourn which i haven't read yet and godmedsham park by gill hornby #so very excited about them too #today was really my day !!!#and i got notified that i'm FINALLY at the top of the waiting list for therapy ! only took 10 months when they said 3-4 djdjdjf #but i'm gonna be unstoppable when im mentally stable omg #won't stop me buying jane austen books though <3

@midoyuzuweek day 7 | christmas / wedding / free day

mdyz christmases you will always mean everything to me. decided to give lineless art a shot again after how many years and it was pretty fun!! also i lied when i said the ghostic piece was my favorite actually cause this was extremely fun to draw

ideally this wouldve been the last day but because i am sick and twisted theres one more tomorrow 👍 beware

#duck scribbles #enstars #mdyzweek2025 #midoyuzu #yuzuru fushimi #midori takamine #yuzumido #ensemble stars #the depression is eating me alive i think and this week has been some solace but if i go missing for a while dont worry too much abt it #xmas live youll always be famous......#last time i tried lineless/smth akin to painting was like 2022?? im pretty sure.but this time it feels a lot more like just regular lineart #with added stuff on top. Lineart Two if you will. and i had an absolute blast (i love lineart)#ink pen my lovely wife i missed you i am so sorry for abandoning you all these years #the art pencil brush is too satisfying ive neglected you for so long in favor of it #also screw you flambe outfit for that annoying design at the back. it got covered up anywaysssss argh #ughhhhhhh i dont wanna do assignments and midterms. i have to lock in again.... i dont wanna....#other than getting to do this ship week its honestly been Incredibly Indescribably Excruciatingly Miserable for me for the last seven #or so days. or i guess its been a few weeks already. this thread is so close to snapping but feck it we ball i guess #at least theres fictional characters to get me through the fact this sorry excuse of a government reinstated martial law #hate it here

to celebrate ichimatsu month it is time for me to post fat ichimatsu in cat lingerie

#my art #ichimatsu #do i need to tag or label this as anything or can we all be chill about this. the naughty parts are covered ok?#anyway this is a little old. these days i would've added hair but when i drew this i firmly believed in the symbolism of them being #hairless = physical signifier that they never really grew up and became adults #however i've recently found a way to make them being hairy have thematic significance too so now im all powerful #since the idea that their baby faces (physical signifier that they never truly grew up) could grow hair (evidence of the inevitable passage #of time and proof that they can't live off of the memory of their glory days anymore) is pretty funny #and it'd be foolish to not draw them like that at least sometimes #i promise next time i'll draw fat boys better #suggestive #tw suggestive #osmt

Happy summer! I finally got around to organizing the spots i drew for the Poképlanner Project last year 🌞

Each page is based on one of the five Alola islands - special thanks to my irl friend who’s super knowledgeable about pokémon and let me pick her brain :)

(no reposts; reblogs appreciated)

#ft. my procrastination haha oops #my art #artists on tumblr #digital art #fanart #zine stuff #team rocket #pokemon #alola region #pokemon sun and moon #pokemon sm #help idk what to tag theres too much going on #i got my planner and it's so so pretty #so obviously i can’t bring myself to use it #ur saying im supposed to cover up all the beautiful pages with assignments?? um no thanks #idk that much abt pokemon but i loved all the lore i stumbled upon while fine-combing the Alola wiki #like wdym each island has its own crest?? that's so cool and also convenient for background art purposes #spot illustrations dont seem like a lot until u have to sketch/layout/color/render FIVE PAGES of them #worth it to build those art muscles tho!!#fun fact i finished these while on vacation in mexico and running a fever #the perfect tropical island vibes were right outside i couldn't help myself :)

2024 reads / storygraph

This Fatal Kiss

spooky whimsical YA fantasy romance

a water nymph bound to the river where she drowned desperately wants to become human again, by gaining a freely-given kiss from a mortal

a brooding boy from the local town who exorcises meddlesome spirits is constantly trying to get rid of her - but after he messes up an exorcism she blackmails him into playing matchmaker for her

….but he also has a crush on the boy she chooses (who has secrets of his own)

bisexual MCs, developing polyamorous relationship

#this fatal kiss #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #bisexual books #polyamorous books #his is so fun I enjoyed it a lot!#it’s reasonably low stakes and is cute and whimsical but with some darker elements #and some very endearing characters #There’s a few things I wanted answers about - but clearly it’s going to be a duology #so I guess I’ll have to wait. I feel like it *could* have wrapped things up as a standalone if it wanted to though #some nods to The Dark Tide too (the MC is from there)#I enjoyed all the queerness and bisexuality plus some brief interesting moments of gender thoughts even from the ostensibly cis MCs #(i say ostensibly cis - she does actually pretty explicitly say she has no feelings about gender but it's just easier to be a girl)#(also says she's love to be a big buff guy at some point. but it's not really explored)#I assume this will be a part of book 2 but uhhh I couldn’t stop thinking about alexi’s body. like. iykyk. r we gonna address that #also LOVE THE COVER
