In Case of Death....

I made Gale's resurrection pouch!

The background story: Since I had no idea if or when Tim Downie would be guesting at a con I could actually go to, I took a page from @athelartistry's book, and asked if she could pass along a gift from me when she went to meet him in August. She graciously agreed, and I frantically went to work!

Camp Gale was (mostly) set aside for a month while I focused on this little side project, and I am beyond thrilled with how it came out. I tooled, dyed, stitched and distressed the leather all by hand; learned how to age paper (super easy, actually); discovered that painting faux wood texture is not my favourite (as opposed to faux metal, which I love); and got myself a very silly quill fountain pen for the purposes of inking the letter markings (fountain pens are SO SATISFYING to use).

I know I say this about all my Gale projects, because he just means SO MUCH to me, but this was such a labour of love, and a fun little prop diversion from the endless embroidery I've been doing. Even though this was created with the express intent of giving it to Tim Downie, it was hard to let it go! So I expect I'll be making another one for myself somewhere down the line.

Immense thanks to ulricsworkshop (IG) for the leatherworking guidance; to @elegantfeatherduster for modelling/printing the flute base, knob, and cord caps; and of course to @athelartistry for delivering the finished pouch to Tim (and capturing the moment).

After two years I FINALLY have references for Aldiirn and of course I had to go extra and made multiple pages detailing each outfit and all the other little details on my website. Maybe it's a bit much, I didn't need to include the bard armours but I really like seeing the character progression with the Aldiirns all lined up.

He's so soft I wanna squish him!!!

this is a sign to update your wips

[khywren]

"I sort fics by kudos and only kudos on stories with high kudos counts, why aren't there more stories with high kudos, I ran out of things to read." You're part of the problem.

"Authors artificially inflate comment counts by thanking people, I can't find anything with a real comment count to read." No they fucking are not, they're grateful for engagement.

"I can't read anything under 100k." That's the majority of fics you're ignoring, most novels aren't even that long.

"I don't have time to look for the incredibly rare diamond in the rough, so I won't read anything below a certain amount of kudos, comments, and hits." Those fics are popular because people gave them a chance and then snobs like you found them.

"I won't read anthing with a single typos." You made typos in that sentence, get off your high horse.

"One singular author didn't thank me for commenting, I'm never commenting on any fic again so I don't get burned." You're punishing people because someone didn't give you engagement they don't owe you that they might not have seen.

"This fic is three months old, it's so old, it doesn't matter if I comment or kudos, it's old." Fics do not have expiration dates, comment and kudos.

You're killing your fandoms with your snobbish behaviors.
