Should anyone come looking, I am dealing with a crisis. It’s a rather mundane crisis in the scheme of possibilities, and I’m not in physical danger or injured.

I am however completely overwhelmed and unable to socialise.

I’ll be dealing with this crisis for, rough estimate, 6 weeks. Then recovery for an unknown amount of time, depending.

This is not to worry anyone, it’s to assure you that my distance is not a lack of care or want to interact.

See you on the other side, take care of yourselves until then.

happy December ILD 💕

Oof... Learned today that the brand I used to work for is hiring graphic designers again and one of the requirements is, behold, 'experience/ familiarity working with Midjourney'. Said brand build its entire reputation on working (and priding itself in it!) with artists and showcasing their art, and taking parts in various artistic events. I have no words.

I knew AI would come for fashion industry rather quickly (especially for surface patterns), but seeing it (and from familiar source) it extremely discouraging still.

Happy Winter ILD Everyone!!!

Sewing is the most fulfilling skill I've ever learned to do. There's something about how happy a handmade item makes me feel, how beautiful handmade garments make me feel. One coord of a whole series soon to be a YouTube lookbook video. I'm really pushing myself out of this rotting era I've been in.

Today is winter International Lolita Day Winter ILD is rarely celebrated in Montreal because it's always cold and often snowy/slushy, but I am actually doing a small thing tomorrow. Summer ILD (in June) is quite big in Montreal, though! It's the opposite for Tokyo, since December is mild and June is already too hot and humid (often rainy too). Well, corona cancelled ILD for a while, but I think meets are back now that I am gone. I know this is the same skirt as the one used in my last outfit, but it was the only lolita outfit I had edited in my pile of recent pictures. Anyway, I only have two lolita skirts and two lolita dresses with me right now. I am trying to experiment with indoor self-timed pictures, and it's been a bit hard since it's so much darker here than in my last apartment. Sorry for the grains! Outfit Skirt: second-hand Mary Magdalene Cardigan and turtleneck: second-hand Fint Hat: vintage Shoes: second-hand Yosuke (don't worry, I washed them before wearing them on thecarpet) Brooches and earrings: vintage, thrifted and handmade

Prayers for Lennon, January 2024

To our family and friends,

This month is a big one for our family, especially for Lennon. He will be going in for a follow up CT scan tomorrow morning at Beaumont RO. This scan will show us whether his lungs have worsened, healed, or stayed the same. It will be the first time we’re seeing the condition of his lungs since August. The last scan showed an abnormal result — lots of holes and scarring on his lungs. We have been waiting for this scan and praying so hard to see improvement in his lungs. We want our baby to be on his way to healing and to experience life without the need for supplemental oxygen if it’s in God’s will for him. More than that, it’s our hope that this scan will give his pulmonologist and team of doctors new information. Up until now, they’ve been clueless in how to treat Lennon’s lung disease. We are hoping this scan offers new insight that gives his doctors a new angle to consider. We are anxious yet hopeful about his results and would appreciate prayers for strength and peace as we wait.

Following his scan, we’d also like to ask for prayer for Lennon’s upcoming appointment at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital / UofM on January 9th. We are seeking a second opinion at UofM and we’re praying so hard that there is a doctor on their pulmonology team that has seen or cared for a baby like Lennon before. His lung disease is not a common one which has made it hard to find care for him. We are praying for just ONE doctor who knows how to treat Lennon or at least point us in the right direction.

We are growing weary from all the uncertainties. We don’t know what type of lung disease Lennon has or how severe it is — only that it’s interstitial lung disease (an umbrella term). We don’t know how life threatening the disease is. We don’t know how long we have with our baby. My own research tells us it’s between 3-5 years for babies born with ILD. We don’t know if he’s in pain or if he needs immediate intervention to give him the best chance at a long and healthy life. We need some definite answers to be at peace. We don’t want our baby to suffer more than he has to if there’s something we could be doing to help ease his pain now.

We’re preparing ourselves for changes following Lennon’s pulmonology appointment at UofM. We don’t know what will be required of us once he’s an established patient there. Whether we’ll need to make the commute to Ann Arbor often, or have Lennon readmitted for observation, or even be turned away…we’re just praying that the Lord provides us with what we need for every outcome.

Please pray for these specific things and anything else you feel led to pray for. We are so grateful for each of you and we couldn’t do any of this without your support and love. We will update you as we receive his results and process what it will mean for our family. Thank you so much.

All our love, Gloria and James

Wanna know what sounds great?

A fanfic where the Greybeards find a baby Dragonborn on their doors, and just take her (using your Leara DB as an example) in, and raising her.

They eventually find out she’s Dragonborn because of her ability to use the Way of The Voice so easily, or something. Paarthurnax takes an interest in this child, and so she stays at the Throat of the World, until Alduin returned.

Wait that's so soft.

Just imagine how much trauma Leara would avoid if she was raised by the Greybeards? It'd be so beautiful. Dragon Dad could be her actual dad.

Happy ILD, I didn't go to a meet but I did wear this JSK for the first time.

I made this JSK in 2021 but never wore it since I struggled to coord it after it was finished. So it just sat in my wardrobe until I was willing to try again.

Happy International Lolita Day! My comm had a Wizard of Oz themed meet.

[ephemeral-lace]

In June our comm went to the local zoological institute for ILD. My partner volunteers there and we frequent it in our free time so I'm a bit of an unofficial tour guide and know a lot of the animals' names 😅

Between the endless poplar fuzz and my old AP purse flaking and peeling my black dress was a mess so here's pre-meet photos.

Head, dress: Baby, the stars shine bright

Blouse, Socks: Metamorphose

Necklace: Maxicimam

Ring: Angelic Pretty

Shoes: AnTaiNa
