watching the great pottery throw down and there’s this one judge that cries every other episode because he’s genuinely so touched by the pottery the contestants make and the stories they tell with it and I just adore it

Rating my pottery tools by how effective they are at putting my hair up if I forget a hairtie (my favourite wooden smoothing tool is 10/10)

I can't wait for the great pottery throw down to start again there's nothing I wanna watch more in January than a fully grown up gigantic dude tearing up out of love over clay 💕

Every once in a while me and my mum go back and watch some great pottery throw down bc there’s nothing more therapeutic than watching a grown man cry over beautiful art

One thing I have to say while binging The Great Pottery Throwdown is I love how subtle the LGBTQ representation is. Rose the kiln technician is just Rose the kiln technician, the fact that she's trans isn't made into a big deal on the show. They don't make a big deal about AJ's pronouns, they're just....AJ. So many contestants with same-gender partners, but it's not made into a Thing. It's just...."her wife" or "his boyfriend", etc etc. I dunno I just....in reality shows you never see that. Reality shows always seem to try and capitalize off of contestants' marginalized identities. I don't know what it's like behind the scenes, I hope it was just as great behind the scenes as it was on screen. I dunno I just....I know nothing about pottery but I love this show.

Post-apocalypse, I'd want to be in the UK only because the Great Pottery Throw Down made all the potters in the land learn how to make a working toilet

Weird Dream with Joe Keery in it 😆

Had the strangest dream last night. It started off as a Bake Off style competition type thing, only the surprise twist was we had to use the contents of our own baking cupboards that had been brought in from our houses in secret.

It was also set in this huge house with big high ceilings and a huge fireplace, think country house you go round as a tourist.

Then it morphed and it turned out we contestants had to actually produce a whole exhibit with food, jewellery, and clothes.

That's where Joe Keery came in, he was one of the models. Only he was in the persona of Baron from Marmalade, absolutely adorable, but as dumb as a brick.

And it was shortly after that I woke up, so I never found out who won the competition.

I'm surprised there wasn't pottery in there too - the last reality competition I watched was The Great Pottery Throw Down. 😆 I suspect Bake Off came up because we were watching Noel Fielding on Jimmy Kimmel yesterday, although he wasn't in the dream.

Last night’s final of the pottery throw down. And the winner was Donna. Well deserved.

The Great Pottery Throwdown is one of my new favorite shows. It is just so wholesome and pleasant. Seeing a grown man cry about beautiful pottery is just so heartwarming.

Jewish Dadneto Headcanon

For Passover, a major Jewish holiday along with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, one year Erik decides to make a Seder plate set homemade on the pottery wheel with his sohn Pietro, who's a toddler and he wants to do an imprints of Pietro's hands and feet. He has Pietro help him form the plates and bowls with his tiny hands while sitting on his lap with a tad help from his powers. Pietro just loving the feel of wet clay in his palmfuls, the smells, he has always loved touching things and getting any slimy frogs or snails into the house or mud pies. However this isn't the only set Erik has as he does have many sets of Seder plates, some more antique like those he used to have with his family in made from sliver or blue and white porcelain and others in streamlined modern to switch it up every year.

Erik trying to form patterns in Pietro's wild application of color and fun. After firing the ceramics his young sohn dark moon eyes shined like stars blasting into supernovas at their shiny finish.
