My moss wall project so far. A mess of crochet ferns and a pile of pom poms. Also need to harvest the pom poms from my old moss rugs. Which will be a sizeable mound of pom poms when I get that done.

In theory i like the idea that rick is growing and developing as a person. In practice it ends up falling short though, because no one balances him out. rick is getting better while no one else is getting worse, and it causes the whole thing to end up feeling a bit stale. The biggest draw, at least for me, has always been rick and morty's shitty dynamic, but it barely exists anymore because rick has been so watered down.

The ideal solution is literally just to make morty into a bigger asshole. Essentially flipping the main characters' personalities would offer a wide variety of conflict into the show, and would also help keep it "fresh".

Instead it feels the writers are pretending that they can't possibly do anything with morty's character, that they have to keep him the same anxious idiot he was in season one. I've said this before, but it's incredibly frustrating to watch the show have no problem with expanding rick's character while struggling with keeping morty's heavily stagnated characterization consistent. Where rick has space to develop between multiple seasons, morty is constantly forced into one of two boxes (smart/stupid) depending on the episode.

mizutaigen is literally like. the first "toxic" m/f ship i've ever cared for. cuz like usually my taste in m/f ships is basically "unhinged baddie" x "badass wifeguy" *

* (see:yen/geralt. trevor/sypha. adolin/shallan. kataang but katara is sane and they're literally so wholesome like theyre traumatised kids in love who are each other's emblem of hope in a war-torn world! so basically they don't count. anyway. i'm rambling.)

and to that end my friend called mizutaigen yaoi-adjacent and im like. yeah you're right actually cuz like hell yeah non-binary mizu and bisexual taigen rights and all the gender fuckery in the show in general

but also like.

theres just SOMETHING else about mizutaigen that just GETS me. like there's a special secret sauce like the pheromones in that one sephora lotion attracting spiders and i am the silly spider!!! there's just something about it!!! it's not even the enemies to lovers trope cuz i personally am not even usually into that (obv it's fine if you are. but yk.)

so as i keep rotating these thoughts around i thiiink it's the fact that, yknow, theyre so similar. like i honestly truly think they could be besties in another universe: a kinder universe where taigen was not taught to hate. a universe where mizu was not born a girl in a deeply misogynistic society or half-white in a xenophobic homogeneous society.

yeah now that i think about it that really just might be THE secret sauce!!! like the fact that they COULD be perfect and happy together, if only things were different, if only they werent themselves.

smth v bittersweet about that's just driving me insane and makes me want to root for them to overcome all those obstacles, to say "fuck all that" (re:the world and all its fucked up shit) and find each other in the end. to eventually become each other's fav person and confidant. who obv still bicker and tease and insult each other all the time but they dont really mean any of it and over time it just becomes a running gag between them and no one else has to get it because it's just between the two of them.

There is something so beautiful about how earlier that day Cellbit and Max were talking about Jaiden and Foolish working for the feds and saying that they were using their naivety, innocence, love for others- there weaknesses and strengths- all of that to manipulate them into doing tasks for them...

and then later that same night it's revealed that Cellbit had been unknowingly working for The Federation... Everything he had been doing these past weeks was helping them- That was being manipulated and used by them this entire time and didn't even know it...

Fell in love with the moss rug originally created by @pidgie-core and felt inspired to start working on a rug of my own. The variety of shades and textures are feeling more lichen-like so far. (also hoping to turn the mushroom patterned fabric into a hand stitched throw pillow)

[thresholdbb]

Feeling the pull to make some sort of fan art but no idea what medium to make it in

Help

The rag rug is awesome! How is it done?

Thanks! The short answer is that it's a braided rag rug, using the braid-as-you-go method. Basically, this tutorial. I am not trying very hard to make sure the strips of fabric are the same size, and I'm not minding the edges of the fabrics being exposed. I'm also using the no-sew method of joining more strips of fabric as I go, and just kind of having fun with it? So far it's turning out well!

Going to be reworking my small moss rugs into one big rug. Right now plucking the pom poms off the old rugs and also making some more pom poms. Already remined that making pom poms isn't the most fun you can have.

Next place where I'll probably be having an exhibition only has wall space, so the rug is going to have to be more like a moss wall this time. Hence the reworking.

The piercers keep reminding and recommending that I don't sleep on my side for at least another 3 months

But (to use the Tumblr phrase) I sleep like a rotisserie chicken

They suggest using like an airplane travel pillow thing but I still can't really see how that will help

We've managed to save the helix pericing but the lobe one healed over in like. Less than 12 hours. So I have to wait a couple weeks to heal fully and then repierce and start from scratch on that one.

If I get invested in your story and devote my mind to it for extended periods of time; only for it to turn out to all have been a dream at the end with zero plot relevance or indication that had been the case, I'm killing you. I'm killing you! I don't care about anything else, I don't give a shit about anything else. My programming becomes "Get that fucking guy right now." There is nothing else.

rugged maniac OCR 2023

i had the amazing opportunity to join one of my friends for an obstacle course race/mud run for the first time this past weekend! i’ve never run in a race of any kind really, so this was exciting as both a race and an obstacle course! the course was a 5k running course filled with like, 20-30 obstacles including climbing over walls/ladders/fences of many kinds, huge slides, rope net climbing, crawling under barbed wire through mud pits, and so much more.

i stayed with my friends the whole time and i didn’t really train, so we walked a good chunk of it. there were tons of hills, sandy trails, forest paths, and other terrain that made running even harder anyway. safe to say i definitely wasn’t running for time, just for fun!

it was so incredibly fun to push my body and just let myself have fun and go crazy. it was like an adult playground on steroids!! the endorphin rush was incredible and even a few days later i still feel so excited and proud just talking about it. i am 100% doing this again, and would recommend to anyone else who’s thinking about it!

After about two days of work, I finally finished half of them. This is exhausting, but I'm working hard. Ignore the black yarn all over the canvas. When I cut them with the razor, the black outline yarn gets all over everything.. nothing I can do about it.
