I was expecting Neuvillette to be stoic, cold, heartless (or worse case scenario, another asshole a la alhaitham) but he is NOT.

He's super NICE and KIND and SWEET. It feels very weird. I now understand why they chose this soft jp voice for him (I play in jp dub). It fits him well!

+ The way he was ok with being Lyney's friend just because 🥺💞💞😭.

It's been a week and I still can't believe I don't have to hallucinate a happy ending for Orm and the Aquafam

I'm rather proud of this, even if it did take me about a month to complete.

Let me explain.

I'm normally a cross stitcher, but I'd been seeing a lot of embroidery tricks on Pinterest (chronic scroller) and have been wanting to try the tulip button stitch for quite some time. Unfortunately, I had no jackets or cardis appropriate enough to try it on, so I hit up the Rockmans website and got this fuzzy thing for $20 (marked down from $80, mind, so I'd call that a win). It eventually arrived and it came with buttons like this:

Blingy, no holes, and so heavy they were drooping off the cardi and making it a lop sided garment when worn unbuttoned.

In other words, perfect.

Before I could start lopping them off, I had to make sure I had replacement buttons. As I live in small town with barely any decent crafting supplies, I needed to wait for a day off work where I could travel the hour and a bit away to my closest Spotlight. The day finally came, I took in the spare/replacement button the cardi came with, hunted through the minimal button section (why do buttons not come in those long tubes with the sample button on the lid anymore? Sometimes I would like to buy more than one button? Or more than three??) and walked away with a packet of mixed white buttons.

Then my stupid brain hit.

When I finally had another day for me to work on my cardi, I opened the button packet and started rummaging. I pulled out the various buttons that had been the same size as the original buttons, lamented that the creamy ones with the slight flower petal design on them only numbered 3, and realised that in order to find enough of the right size buttons that were all the same type, I was going to have to sort them.

I ... may have a problem when it comes to sorting.

Sorting things takes me AGES. Not that I think I'm bad at it, I think I'm too GOOD at it. My usual sorting items of choice are books. You won't believe how much enjoyment I get at spending days sorting our library after every time we've had to move house. And just like with sorting books, buttons seem to have their own distinctions. Buttons with 2 holes. Buttons with 4. Buttons with writing. Buttons with SHEEN. SPECIFICALLY COLOURED SHEEN. THERE WERE SO MANY BUTTONS WITH GREEN SHEEN AND, LIKE, THREE WITH PINK?!

Anyway.

I believe the task of sorting them into pairs or more of identical buttons - with a small pile of Lonesome Larries to the side - followed by bagging up the piles, and followed THEN by glad wrapping the rest of them because I had limited amount of little baggies, took me a good couple of hours. In the end, I had a pile of 7 of these plain white buttons of the right size, so at least I have 2 spare if I ever lose any in the future.

And then I discovered just how difficult a French knot can be.

Mini videos on Pinterest generally don't explain how to do things in words. I'm a visual learner, I think, so I thought I'd be able to do this just by following the example. I struggled for a long time, @itchylimpet 's Ma even tried to help me to no avail, and after watching many videos and reading one article on how to do it, I finally managed to do it without making a horrible mess. I continued on, paused for dinner, and by the pitch of night I had finally finished.

So, there you have it. One project that resulted in barely much but took forever to do. I am proud that I eventually managed to get it and I am excited at trying out some other embroidery projects I have in mind. I know this is probably silly, considering it was just a button change, but I like this.

"Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind?

Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.

...

and the universe said I love you because you are love."

-The End Poem by Julian Gough

Today (this was originally posted yesterday July 1st) was the anniversary of the announcement of Technoblade's passing.

Last year, when it was announced, was the same day I had to go to a convention cosplaying as Techno. I was hesitant at first but decided that it was the best way for me to honour him. And so this year, I recreated at upgraded my mourning Technoblade cosplay to honour his memory once again.

It is rough at times to remember him, but through the pain and tears, the rain clouds lift and the sun shines through to my heart to remember the good through the bad. And it comforts me. It comforts me to not be alone with my grief. When we mourn him and cry, our hearts feel like one and the burden weighs less in my chest.

So long Techno. Keep your chin up king, your crown is falling. 💙🤲👑

Someone implied that they love and appreciate me today.

This is...not typical.

I need people to understand that if you tell me some place is close to the metro station, I expect to be able to see the metro station from said place. not walk 20 minutes to get to it.
