@capn-twitchery, allow me to illustrate a solution for the "Twich is too tall to hold hands with Grace" issue?

Furnace and Cornelius for the bingo

Furnace brings out my worst fannish tendencies, whoops. Love has destroyed me, etc. But lately I have calmed down a bit and am integrating more recent canon details to my mental image of her.

Cornelius, however, I am actually normal about. I just love the whole embezzling thing? His reasoning is just so wild that I can't be mad about it. He's just a weird little guy to me.

When Sleeve Meets Sleeve....

[mourningcandles]

the five homoerotic love languages:

- intimate stabbing

- outright obsession

- confused pining

- "no one knows me like you do"

- lifelong promises that always sound suspiciously like wedding vows

Nothing unusual to see here, folks. Just a perfectly normal goldfish in a deeply unethically-sized bowl.

Alternate version under the cut.

hello character who is desperate to be a good person; i want to play a game. in front of you is the one person you will never be able to save. you have the rest of your life to make peace with this. there are no defined repercussions if you fail, but we both know you're going to attempt to win regardless. your time starts now

[mourningcandles]

you came back wrong and i am racked with guilt because i cannot bear to see you like this and i should have let you rest. i loved you so much that i defied death itself but i do not think either of us are happy

Fellas. Is it gay to have a twisted and complex thing with a man over the shared resentment over the past, the blame about that loss, the lingering affection and grief you both still hold about having lost someone, while holding the heart you cut out of her chest?

To slowly go mad failing to understand why she felt she had to do it?

oc ask game based on various dictionary dot com words of the day!

desuetude- they’ve made it to the seventh city. what relics of their past in London are they still holding onto?

gallimaufry- what’s their silliest outfit? the most chaotic jumble of items that would make no sense in real life but has excellent stats.

inveterate- is there a habit, good or bad, that they just can’t break?

absquatulate- what does it take to make them run away from a fight?

petrichor- do they have a particular scent?

axolotl- what’s their favorite animal companion?

primordial- what event in their backstory was the most formative to them today?

zetetic- how curious are they? has it led to anything particularly great or horrible happening to them?

subterfuge- would they make a good spy? why or why not?

plethora- do they collect anything?

naïveté- what were they like when they first came to the neath? what brought them there in the first place?

jubilation- what are they like at parties?

mellifluous- can they sing?

propinquity- what is their relationship with their family like? how do they define family?

assuage- is there something that makes them feel better almost every time?

denouement- what is their destiny? do you interpret it differently than what is written in the game text?

Cornelius&Furnace platonic hanahaki AU my beloved unfinished WIP... girl really came to care for and rely on the weirdest little guy in the Hinterlands and for what? to lose your chance to advocate for the union due to chronic hanahaki?

"I'm not pining for him" girl your grief is literally killing you.

I finally finished my Victorian Wrapper Dress!

The pattern is the Misses' Wrapper Summer 1893, from Authentic Victorian Fashion Patterns, edited by Kristina Harris. My gosh was it a doozy to follow! The pattern itself had very little instruction, so I had to search for more information elsewhere (which i will link if i remember where because i printed stuff).

I used some bedsheets, nonstretch 100% cotton, and made about 3 or so mockups and still found issues upon making the final version

Noted Issues:

It says to draft based on bust. if you have a large bust but not broad shoulders, only extend the should piece over by half of what you extend the bust by

Locks of tricky placement i needed to think quite a bit about

Should have added buttons on the wrists

Had to figure out the.math for my own ruffles (i did a 2 times multiplaction since i worked with a thin fabric)

i needed to axpand the armhole, and thus the sleeves. Do Not expand the poof part, expand the under part of the arm scye, that's where you need the space.

I may add a button closure on the front as well since it gapes a bit

being just over 5 foot, i did not need to add any height to the dress. at all.

to bind my arm scye i used bias tape!

Overall though? I really enjoyed making this, it took me roughly a month and a half to hand-sew, and i enjoyed myself incredibly!!!!
