🫛 🥕 I will never stop loving making these whimsy needle books.

I enjoy every bit of them, especially how tactile they are. They take forever and a day to embroider, crochet and needle felt.

I have a desire to make an A5 book cover, but I fear it's going to be way too expensive for me to be able to sell it.

okay so I hadn't seen your tumblr until this so the whole being a follower thing is new but your stuff about the Ketsukane mansion (and other recent posting) is the Good Shit so i'm going here now. Anyway!

The home gym feels like a very realistic choice because it's something that Chujin should definitely have been able to tell Ceroba would use, but there's not really much *personalization* to it. You don't really need to engage with the idea that someone enjoys exercise to work off it. You add a room, you get a few pieces of exercise equipment like a treadmill and an elliptical, you have a hanging bag to punch on one side, you have somewhere to get water. Maybe you paint it in red and white. That's a good gesture towards someone you love! But in your grand architectural vision you don't really need to interrogate your knowledge of their interests.

Something less immediately likely but that I think could still happen with a BIT more thought without even diving *too* hard into headcanon territory: ...some sort of art studio.

One thing that we do see very solidly about Ceroba is that she enjoys the creative work of the people she cares about. She loves Chujin's artistry in his robotics and even if there are OBVIOUSLY ISSUES with it she loved seeing him creating the estate and his garden. Kanako's art is displayed all over the place and the photo of her holding up her finished mask is kept very specially. Her implements in the pacifist final boss fight are Chujin's gently adorned staff and Kanako's mask. She may find Starlo's hardcore sheriff larp stuff a bit silly, but she still thought it was fun regardless until he pushed it too far.

I think a space for a few different potential kinds of artistic expression could be a really nice gesture. Like, hey, you enjoy art a lot, but you don't seem to have made much of it yourself, maybe you could try things out and see if something clicks with you and *we* can love *your* work. She's buff and lived in the area back before it got totally desertfied; maybe she'd get a kick out of sculpting wood if she had the chance. Maybe she could learn how to paint. Maybe she might not click with any one thing in particular but can still try and share it with the people she cares about.

Diving more into hc stuff on what she might *actually* enjoy having her own space for that can go in a Rich Person House: ...I think she'd like a bowling alley. I know that's random but it's got some fitness elements while being more of a game that you can play against others *or* solo, can work off some anger by throwing a heavy object at some stupid things to make them scatter. Can be real fun in decorations, and it'd be fitting to have a couple TVs in there for watching movies or the like when they're not being scoreboards. It's something you generally dress down for (nobody looks fancy in bowling shoes). I dunno, I think it'd actually be pretty fun for her.

Hey, no worries about being new here. It's nice to have you!

(in relation to this post) *points very intensely at your idea of Ceroba having a room dedicated to some sort of artistic endeavor* I love that idea a lot!

I think a gym would be the most realistic option for Ceroba from what we see out of Ceroba and Chujin's relationship, since she's so damn self-effacing and thinks that maturity means slotting herself into the role of a housewife that she doesn't really let herself have fun. The only thing she really mentions about herself in the Steamworks is that she used to go to the gym until she quit about a year before canon (which, considering that she had to pick up work at Cafe Dune to support the family financially and how Chujin passed away fairly recently, really paints quite the picture for why this happened). A gym would be the most likely option since it was like... the one thing she brought up about herself. But as you brought up it isn't exactly personal.

Having a home gym for her would have been the bare minimum though. Even if it's not as personal as programming a videogame for Kanako, it would've at least shown that Chujin is paying attention to Ceroba's wants. I headcanon that Chujin at least tried to make the kitchen as nice as he could for Ceroba, but that doesn't erase the fact that a kitchen is heavily tied to the domestic duties of a housewife. Unintentional as I imagine it to be, slotting your wife into the role of a housewife while your kid gets to be a kid in her space and you get to be yourself in both of yours? That's pretty Cringe-jin 😬. Ceroba didn't express a strong interest in cooking that would have justified this either.

But if Ceroba and Chujin did have a healthy relationship with each other, I could definitely see the art studio idea playing out, since as you said, both Kanako and Chujin express themselves creatively in their own ways and it would be great if she was encouraged to as well. Maybe it's the amount of pottery videos I've watched recently speaking through me, but I love the idea of Ceroba getting into ceramic art. She doesn't strike me as the sort to mind getting dirty, I can just see her at the end of a rough day tying back her kimono sleeves with tasuki, slapping a slab of clay onto the pottery wheel, and just going at it, even if nothing good comes out of it. Letting Starlo shoot at her rejected projects because the glaze didn't come out of the kiln well so eh. go nuts breaking them, I don't care. Her gifting the Sunnyside family a homemade vase or bowl. Maybe experimenting with kintsugi. Letting Kanako work alongside her making coil pots and pinch pots. Or your wood working idea that you brought up! Something more hands-on!

(Also, it's funny that you brought up the bowling idea since someone who does seem to like bowling in canon is Martlet, considering that she has an attack where she drops bowling balls. Maybe if Chujin were closer with her, he would have invited her over and they would've bowled together. Ah well, c'est la vie...)

spring projects – mini greenhouse reveal

[cantankerouscatfish]

the annual flats truck that we expected Wednesday arrived today!

... as we were closing for the day! so a bunch of us stayed 20 minutes or so after to unload the cages. I only got 4 this week. he actually called to double-check because last year we got a full truck (12 cages) and he was like 'I know you've got a new person doing it this year.'

like, aw. good of him to call. but it's the same idiot as previous years, I just learn from my mistakes a little bit. sometimes.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

PAGE ONE

Panel 1

A black caption box. To the right, Richard Nixon holds up his trademark peace sign.

CAPTION: In 1970 Richard Nixon created THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY to enforce national standards for the health of the environment. Since then the EPA has passed The Clean Water Act, greatly reduced toxic pesticides, and made commercial products be subject to the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Panel 2

A red caption box created from the smoke billowing from the smokestacks of a polluting factory.  To the left side we see a crowd of professional-looking men and women, hovering in the smoke.  A bluebird flies up past them.

CAPTION: Chapter 13 of Project 2025 changes all that!

CAPTION: “EPA’s structure and mission should be greatly circumscribed to reflect the principles of cooperative federalism and limited government. This will require significant restructuring and streamlining of the agency.” [2025, p. 420]

BLUEBIRD: Such as?

Panel 3

An inset panel in blue. A female scientist sits in her lab, writing in a notebook and looking distressed.

CAPTION: “Resetting science advisory boards to expand opportunities for a diversity of scientific viewpoints free of potential conflicts of interest.” [2025, p. 422]

SCIENTIST: But science isn’t about viewpoints! It’s about empirical data that’s observed and tested.

Panel 4

An inset caption box in yellow sits to the right of a bald eagle, who is perched on the branch of a tree that sits across from the polluting factory.

BALD EAGLE: They won’t mess with the Clean Air Act, right?

CAPTION: Well, what about the EPA goal of restoring natural visibility by 2064?

CAPTION: “EPA should consider whether a longer timeline is less disruptive or more realistic. Regional haze rules should be revised to prevent subsequent ‘planning periods’ from being abused to compel the shutdown of disfavored facilities.” [2025, p. 424]

Panel 5

This is the bottom half of the image of the polluting factory. Green sludge spills from a drain into a formerly-blue waterway now clogged with dead fish. A man in a suit, representing the Project 2025 interests, stands on the factory wall.

CAPTION: Project 2025 wants to make the EPA more state-by-state focused…but pollution doesn’t obey regional borders. They plan to:

MAN: “review Biden-era regulations to ensure that they do not ‘overcontrol’ upwind states!” [2-25, p. 424]

CAPTION: …AND “Remove the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) for any source category that is not currently being regulated.” [2025, p. 425]

PAGE TWO

Panel 1

A red tractor-trailer races down a highway, spewing a long trail of exhaust. The quote from the 2025 document is written on a green road sign.

CAPTION: Chapter 13 suppresses almost every part of the agency, but there’s one time bomb in there that achieves most of their goals and may impact the climate the most…

SIGN CAPTION: “update the 2009 endangerment finding” [2025, p. 425]

CAPTION: They really don’t like that part of The Clean Air Act. It says that “greenhouse gases in the atmosphere endanger both the public health and environment for current and future generations” and that combined emissions from new motor vehicles contribute to climate change.  An “update” can completely alter emissions standards for the whole country and everywhere our vehicles are used.

Panel 2

Donald Trump sits at his desk, furiously signing a document in front of him.  The intentions of the executive orders he’s signing spew out from the document in orange rays.

CAPTION: To stop progress in the meantime, Project 2025 pushes a DAY ONE EXECUTIVE ORDER. [all on page 422 of Project 2025]

TRUMP: I’m gonna demolish the Deep State!

CAPTION (four rays): Set up PAUSE AND REVIEW teams! Stop all grants to advocacy groups! Grant petitions to Reconsider and Stay rules! Review Employees–terminate newest hires!

Panel 4

A red text box.

CAPTION: It would revise documents that control regulations like the social cost of carbon, causality of health effects, low-dose risk elimination… Most things the EPA was created to protect the public from–throwing scores of civil servants out of work and neutralizing the agency.

Panel 5

A bubbling green pond featuring an angry frog on a lily pad and an sick-looking fish breaching the surface. To the left, inset, is a headshot of the Heritage Foundation’s Mandy Gunasekara.  In the bottom right is a stop sign – it says “STOP 2025.”

FROG: WHO wrote this anyway?

CAPTION: The main writer of the EPA section of Project 2025 is the Heritage Foundation’s Mandy Gunasekara, former EPA official during the Trump administration.  Her Member page at The CO2 Coalition* once described her as “the architect of the Paris Accord withdrawal and repeal of the Clean Power Plan.”

CAPTION: *The CO2 Coalition is a climate crisis-denying group that champions “the important contribution made by carbon dioxide to our lives and the economy.”

FISH: No…we didn’t make that up.

CAPTION: STOP 2025

Project 2025 ~ IMPORTANT FACTS TO KNOW

Everyone needs to read and understand this post if you intend to vote in the upcoming Presidential election. Do not allow others to hide this information from you. On page 246 of the conservative mandate, it says that to support funding for PBS or other public funded news sources is “squandering” money on “leftist opinions” and should be stopped because, “as Jefferson put it, ‘To compel a man to…

I fully believe Mountain would listen to Hozier. I also think that he hums/sings along to Like Real People Do while him and Rain cuddle together in the greenhouse during a storm.

Me staring intensely at my seed cart and wondering when in the fuck it got so expensive to shove some wooden posts in the ground and staple plastic tarp sheeting to them and have yourself a fuckin green house....

It's grey and depressing and currently the family farm Lena spent a few years recovering on following the fall of overwatch is hot on my brain

[anneapocalypse]

The thing is Ariane absolutely would be like "Can I interest you in an onion from the end of the universe?" Girl is a botany/alchemy main at heart and she has brought back samples of everything. She has a seed catalog. If I ever win her a medium house I'm building her a greenhouse.
