Love it when tumblr users display the strangest anon hate they've gotten on their banner. It's like a deer's head mounted on the wall but the deer also calls you a slur

General PSA's for begginer alt crafting

- superglue heats up when in contact with fiber, your craft can start smoking or even catch on fire

- you can wash clothing painted with acrylic paint in the washing machine if you turn it inside out and use the lowest temperature

- don't put painted clothes in the dryer.

- you can wash clothes with metal bits in the washing machine but use the handwashing setting, dry the metal bits with a paper towel before hanging them to dry, and know that it WILL be loud

- synthetic dye is needed to dye synthetic fibers and requires a long time simmering in a boiling pot. This WILL stink up the house and you NEVER want to make food in that pot again

- faux leather is vinyl not leather. Get vinyl paint to paint on it

- don't use your teeth as tools, they don't regenerate. Reconstructing enamel costs a small fortune (ask me how I know.)

- when handsewing a lot through thick fabric get thin needles, it will require less force and be less taxing on your wrists. When machine sewing get a higher grade needle (~130 for jean)

- embroidery floss is overpriced and not as strong as it looks. For sewing on heavy stuff get denim thread, it will last forever

- don't feed a 60$ home sewing machine ten layers of denim before you learn how much a servicing fee costs, these things are dellicate

- spray paint is best applied from 30-40cm away, in swift movements. Putting too much or applying from too close will cause drips. You can sand them down and apply a new layer of paint AFTER they dry. Wipe the can nozzle after painting if it's messy, you don't want it to clog and become unusable

- water based markers on fabric will bleed, if not instantly then with time, alcohol markers will fade with time

- most fabric glues are machine washable up to a certain temperature. modgepodge is not waterproof, hitack is handwash only. Check the instructions

- the flatter the surface the easier hot glue will peel off. Faux leather stands no chance, fibers like yarn will hold it best, but is impossible to remove the glue from them in the future

- rivets are a thing that exists, only require a hammer to install and can be used as permanent fabric attachment

- studs, gromets and other metal junk at small fabric stores are laughably overspriced

- acetone (found in nail polish remover) will remove acrylic stains out of furniture, flooring and faux leather, if used in excess can damage the laquer. Can also be used to remove prints and glue off of plastic (do a small test before commiting, might melt the plastic it it's grade is low)

- residue from stickers (and k-tape) can be removed with oil

- acrylic stains cannot be removed out of clothing or carpet so protect your area before painting and don't wear clothes you care about

- if your thread keeps getting tangled or snagging while handsewing try waxing it

- you can lock in screw-in spikes with screw lock glue if you're scared of them falling off because they unscrew

- you can add washers to screw-in spikes if you're scared of them falling through flimsy fabric or too big of a hole

- if you're making anything out of soda cans have a metal file on hand, they are deceptively sharp and will hurt you and rip through fabric you're installing them in

- bleach can be found in mold killing spray (don't touch that shit with bare hands. chemical burn.)

- fabric paints are no different from slightly dilluted acrylic. You can make it yourself by adding a bit of fabric softener to acrylic or honestly even water

- if you are setting anything with an iron use parchment paper or a pressing cloth to pervent your stuff from sticking to your iron and ruining it

- if you want a safety pin somewhere permanently pinch it shut with pliers

- as much as you can, avoid putting glue on clothing, it makes it really hard to change your decisions later on and upcycle the project in the future

- kiss your friends

That day I woke up crying

Inspired by this article, which caught in my throat for a good while.

Opening his eyes, Viktor took in Jayce’s serene expression from just a breath away. He ran his thumbs slowly beneath hazel eyes, hesitant in his reverence. Then he mirrored the motions he’d come to crave and brought Jayce’s face up to his. Viktor kissed Jayce firmly and with all the determination of one playing catchup.

another couple of pieces from chapter 6 of my 5+1 jayvik fic (spoilers, this is the plus one (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧)

met a celebrity today

[midmorningsong]

went to dinner with a bunch of other guests from this wedding i didn't know before like, two days ago. and mid convo someone brings up ai in the workplace and we're all pussyfooting around the subject and trying to be diplomatic and i had had Just enough wine to be like "actually, i fucking hate ai i think it's DUMB. if you can't write a breakout question then you shouldn't be in charge of that meeting" AND THE INSTANT AGREEMENT FROM THE REST OF THE TABLE like yeah actually most people are annoyed by their bosses forcing ai and it's okay to bitch about it lol

Wild to think how invested I once was in captain america. They really put something in the winter soldier (2014). you had to be there

sometimes one must be a loser and draw their little guys to florence and the machine lyrics. for enrichment.

it's having emotions about jayce power of friendship and love talis o'clock. there are other parts of lyrics i coulda illustrated too but idk wanted to focus on his big dumb moment.

didnt know if i wanted to keep the second part in but whatever. this took way too long for how simple it is because i spent ages trying to be happy with the text layout. dont think i am overmuch but yeah i need to put this to bed lmao

Pretty sure I forgot I was scrolling your account and started liking like it was my feed. My bad gang.

Anyway. YOUR FIC. So fucking good. Genuinely amazingly written. I fucking hate that the English lexicon utilizes words like amazing and incredible so much that they are almost meaningless, because now I’m left with no proper words to use to praise your work. So have some yelling: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

SO. Good. The characterization of viktor especially was excellent—he’s so well meaning but unintentionally obtuse, he’s so intelligent but can still miss things, he’s funny!!!! Obviously you nailed Jayce too (#viktor core fr). And don’t get me started on the art too. You are in my top three jayvik artists. Viktor’s side profile???? Also the one panel from the fifth chapter art, when Jayce is looking at viktor and viktor is clearly looking at his lips and vaguely out of breath???? I just stared at it for like ten minutes because it’s so fucking good.

Ok. I hope that got my point across. You’re amazingly talented, keep creating!!! I hope it brings you as much joy as it does those you share it with :)

THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING, THANK YOU 💙 i've been sitting on this ask for a little bit and finally got some free time today - so please accept this viktor side-view as a token of my appreciation 😭💙

i feel like i've said it a million times but i really did love getting to write vitkor's pov! his dry sense of humor especially was fun to portray. (someday i'll try my hand at writing jayce's pov properly but until then i'm glad the bits i got to allude to came across well!!)

and i do indeed get a lot of joy out of sharing my art! (and occasional writing~) i'm a "the artist is the first audience" kinda person but i also love gifting things to others and just being a part of fandom communities, so the love for this fic has been genuinely wonderful :)

thank you for the kind words!! (ㅅ´ ˘ `) ♡
