Ewan McGregor’s worst movies are Star Wars and Silk, because he’s forced to play a tragic moron having no sex whatsoever and crying.
Ewan McGregor’s best movies, however, are Velvet Goldmine, The Pillow Book, and Moulin Rouge, because he’s allowed to spread his wings and play a tragic moron having sloppy freaky idiot sex. and crying.

You know you into yarn when you have headcanons about what spindles characters would particularly like, what they prefer to do with the yarn, what type of wheel spinner they are, and who has 17 projects going on at once (Anakin) vs who’s gonna focus almost entirely on one project as they go through thought spindle spinning a fine yarn, plying and washing enough of it for a blanket, immediately sticking it on the loom, and weaving a particularly intricate pattern (Obi-Wan) vs who’s the ‘I add the knots of silk and locks so that I can live in the moment and let chunks come out when they need to’ (as if I even have to say it, it’s Qui-Gon)-
ANYWAYS. I actually love yarn and think that yarn craft should be more in fics but that’s sorta like how lots of chefs and bakers make a lot of foodie fics like it’s nice but. Everyone eats. Not enough people care about Scottish spindles. Obi-Wan has 7 Scottish spindles and like 8 Turkish ones so he can make a blanket’s worth of yarn in a single go without having to unwind them and ply right away. Qui-Gon likes supported spindles and a traditional wheel. Anakin designs and makes his own electric spinners, electric yarn counters, and electric cone winders. And then he knits Padme shawls. Qui-Gon crochets blankets and keeps leaving them in the creche or outside random apartments in the temple. Obi-Wan weaves. Anakin spent 5 hours learning how to dye fiber in Padme’s favorite colours, made an electric wool carder to make batts of them, spent a solid 15 hours spinning enough for a massive shawl in lace weight yarn for his wife, knit her one, and then went back to his ADHD project hopping.
I have ideas!!!!!!

Courtesy of the Cincinnati Art Museum, we have this gorgeous silk gown dating from 1862-1864. Really, right in that American Civil War time period.
There are precious few details about this dress from the listing, but I can see a few interesting hints from what we're looking at.
Obviously, this is peak crinoline time. The petticoats and structure needed to pull off this silhouette were a true technological achievement.
But that pop of bright mauve? That there is, I bet, Mauveine or Perkin's purple, an aniline dye that was discovered in the previous decade. This would have been very, very fashionable at the time. The ribbon embroidery pattern looks like an adapted Greek Key Box design, but feel free to correct me if you've got a better name for it (I tried and Google was not my friend). .
Lastly, there's a lovely border of black lace around the cuffs and mid bodice, and while you might say "too much" I don't think that's possible given the rest of the gown!

Since I’m thinking Zac’s character is an alchemist, I’m theorizing that he’s going to be the creator of the watersteel daggers

One Piece Crack Ship War - Round 1 Side E
Propaganda under the cut.
Izou x Sabo: The dynamic they could have together just works. Sabo could use someone older and level headheaded to reign in some of the crazy, but someone that'll also back him up when he goes all in on something reckless. They both have good reason to care strongly about the injustice in the world and as a close up/long range team they could be real badass fighting side by side. Plus they'd just look great together aesthetically.
SilkNami: I need to explain this because I think a huge amount of people don't even know who Silk is. Silk is a character from the prototype Romance Dawn one shot who served as kind of a prototype-version of Nami. They made a short animated retelling of it around 2009 but that differed from the manga one-shot because in the anime version, the Straw Hats are all together, and Silk is an entirely separate character from Nami, whereas in the manga one-shot, it's the very beginning of Luffy's adventure and Silk is the first character he meets. In the oneshot Silk looks a lot more like Nami too, while in the anime they changed her design to clearly differentiate her. I like her manga look better Lol.
Okay that's context. here's the propaganda: I really like the idea of the two of them together since even though one is the first iteration of the other they are different enough that it feels less like the same person and more like soulmates who are so similar because they were meant to be. Because of their similar backstories (on account of being the same character) I think they could really connect with each other and both of them understand the other's wants, feelings, and needs. I'd also mention that Silk is portrayed to be a little more kind and mellow than Nami, which I think strikes a really nice balance. Also Silk has a huge awesome sword.
