#thread: keeping track

[vinceaddams]

Every day I check my mailbox and find it empty and I go "huh, weird, it's been ages since I got any mail", much in the same way I continue to flick light switches during a power outage.

If anyone is wondering, while Supernova Academy is open to all applicants, we are unfortunately limiting the members of the Supernova team themselves. There's only so many people that Superman and Robin can bab-- ehem, supervise, out in the field.

something i find tragic and messed up is how XL's worst trauma and HC's worst trauma are the same event - XL being stabbed 100 times. why that was traumatic for XL is self-explanatory. for HC, witnessing that was so traumatic that it single-handedly turned him into a supreme ghost king. it was the trauma of being powerless, watching his beloved go through hell unable to do a thing to stop it.

this trauma directly parallels HC's original childhood trauma, of being powerless as a child who couldn't defend himself from his bullies and abusers. he hates himself and judges himself very harshly for being "weak" as a child, blaming himself for his own trauma. just see the way he treats e'ming (who i believe represents the emotions of his child self), the way he drew himself in his mural, and the way he treated the statue of hong hong-er in the extras, and you can guess how HC views his child self.

HC's trauma response was to spend 800 years becoming the strongest possible, extremely wealthy and powerful so that he can protect and provide for his beloved the way he never could when he was a human kid or a small ghost. he also wanted to be as strong as possible so that he never has to feel like that "weak" child again. the trauma of powerlessness truly shapes so much of HC's personality

I am thinking about doing a small blog move in the upcoming days just to get a fresh start for 2025 and get more organized with stuff, utilize a thread tracker more and keep up with drafts and memes as they come in. Not jumping and moving like right this very second because I want to get the new blog ready to go and such but I guess I just want to make this post and see who is interested in a follow once I make the move when I do make the move. I guess what I am asking is if you could give this post a small little like if you'd like to be followed when I make the move for blogs

Skitter, skitter.

The Candycane forest was eerily silent, but peaceful as usual.

skitter.

The Glitch was half a cy-bug, or so they said. She looked unnatural, w̶̟̣̄̃͠ŗ̶̡̢̨͕̼̹͇̣̼͗̂̾̍͛̔͠ơ̶̜͕̭̩͙̘͈͇͐̂̽̈́̄̌ņ̶̤̙̘̠͖̦̀̓͗̄̈̔͘͠g̵̢̫̓̀̿̎̄. So... it would only make sense for her to be somewhere these beasts were known to be spotted in, right?

The more Ethellate wandered into the forest, following the path she was on with no particular destination in mind, the more she felt like she was being... followed.

Skitter.

It sounded like... multiple, metallic legs, stomping against the ground. Something was drawing near, and given the reputation of the place, chances of it being friendly were slim.

The Wiꓘed Lies We Live  - Chapter 10

Pairing: KimChay (eventually) Warnings/tags:  Canon-typical violence, bodyswap au, slow burn   Chapter summary:  Sometimes you can't just sit around and wait. To start from the beginning (x)

An update! *throws confetti*

[not-poignant]

Do you already know exactly how many chapters there will be in UtB?

Exactly? No. But do I have a fair estimation now? Yes.

I was winging the story up until about 10 chapters ago, at which point I wrote a very loose chapter plan. There's lots of room for movement so the final count has already changed a couple of times, but right now it's destined to finish around chapter 131 or 132. :D

Cardigan S (Pattern | Yarn | Thread)

I have officially cast on for this cardigan! Sleeve #1 (aka Swatch #3). The OG swatch I used size US 8 needles for both the pattern and the ribbing which is exactly what the pattern states but honestly I think my ribbing looks like dogwater. For Sleeve #1 I swapped to a US 6 for the ribbing and then on the increase row swapped back to US 8. The pattern also has you go directly from ribbing into pattern rows but I'm inserting a wrong side stockinette row for that increase/needle size up and we'll see how it looks.

My pocket swatch/Swatch #2/the one mostly covered up by my hand gave both good and bad news. In good news, 26 stitches is wide enough both for my hand and more importantly my cellphone. In bad news, it wants the pockets to only be five inches tall, and that is NOT enough for either my hand or my cellphone. Easy fix esp considering I plan on completely ignoring every single direction on how to make the pockets Except for the actual stitch count. More on that once I get the Second (and hopefully last) yarn I ordered for pockets.

I didn't realize but because of this shiny thread I'm going to have to knit both sleeves and the two front pieces one at a time.... Taking lots of notes for how many rows I do things in to hopefully match them well enough.

Doomsday day 2: Thread

A short domestic fluff fic of Adelaide and Snotlout. Since I figured a lot of people would do the thread of fate, I decided to go a different route.

"i was rather hoping you'd tire yourself out with all that ... crying and shouting", idly he waved a hand, the one not cradling another rather ugly figurine — where did his staff get them from? gods. cupping it in his scarred palm mikale studied the woman, the red rimmed hues and tense posture. "this goes beyond disappointment, ysara darling and i think you are smart enough to recognise that. i do not take agreements lightly, i do not make empty promises unlike your father." rolling his eyes the king laughed, dropping the ornament without care on to the vanity. "i do not know what your family has been telling you, but i do not kill unless needed, you are worth more alive than dead." although if she continued pestering him mikale might move her down to the dungeon just for some peace and quiet. "do you truly miss them that badly? your father is the coldest bastard i have ever met."

Figured I should keep track of the dates here, so the men have reference.

Today is the:

26th of JANUARY, 1847.

There are 54 days remaining until first sunrise on the spring equinox in March.

I have this scenario in my head where because Kell is such a dumbass there would have been a time (probably not long after he introduced Lila to Kay) where they were fucking, and she moaned out Kay because he was wearing the mask or they were roleplaying etc, but Kell forgot for a moment because Kay was so new and was like ‘I’M SORRY WHO????’
