i can't remember if you've answered this before (i feel like you probably have but i don't really know how to check): how does Johnny break in his boots? or does he just wear the shit out of them until they're broken in on their own?

I have not! so as a kid i think he would have worn the shit out of them until they broke in on their own or used the hammer towel method (hope you got a lot of heel bandaids available johnny boy!) though to be honest, i have these art pieces where hes a teen wearing docs, and im really not sure how he'd canonically even get a pair of docs, you know chief o'sullivan would never have bought him 100+ dollar boots so thats either a gift from Caro, friends, or not canon. truthfully he'd probably have worn general issue black combat boots he got at the local thrift store in his teens.

older john would be aware there are easier ways to break in a pair of leather boots without killing your feet completely, he'd resort to the tried and true way condition your leather and wear double thick socks, and occasionally apply gentle heat (hair dryer method) or toss em in the freezer.

i guess heres another Punk Rock Fact for you-

its best to wear 2 layers of thick socks, your docs /boots should be a bit snug when you buy them, cuz leather stretches and they will end up too loose if you size up (this is also why its not always great to buy leather shoes or boots from the thrift, theyve already molded to other peoples feet and can hurt and fit you very wrong!)! two socks helps protect your feets and push against the boots.

wear them around the house for a few days with your double socks to loosen up the leather, take em off when it starts hurting and extend the time every day. stuff newspaper in em when youre not wearing them if you want to help them maintain stretch. keep those bandaids and heel blister plasters close by.

so the two ways to make it happen a little bit fast is heat or cold. so for heat what you wanna do is get some leather balm (hate to shill a product but doc martens wonderbalm is actually super nice. mink oil works too.) set that aside and put on your biggest fattest socks or double layer, throw your boots on and lace em up real tight. yeah its not gonna feel good. thats ok, youll live probably. now take a hair dryer on its lowest setting and VERY GENTLY and not too close to your boot, heat all the surfaces with it for about 30 seconds per spot (but continuously move the hair dryer). dont do this for to long and only do it once or twice, you dont wanna damage the glue but the heat will help the leather become more supple and stretch faster. leave the boots and and walk around your house again, stretching them out, bending your feet, stand on your tiptoes etc. after they cool, apply the wonderbalm as per instruction to protect the leather.

and finally the freezer method, i use this mostly if my leather shoes or boots are a bit too snug still. fill a heavy duty ziplock bag about halfway with water and make sure its sealed really tight with no air inside. stick the bag in your boots, trust me on this, and throw em in the freezer over night. SCIENCE IS FUN ice expands, take em out the next day and let em defrost and voila. the leather has stretched and softened because of the expanding ice.

basically, take care of your leather! lots of conditioner and wear them gently. if you've got your own tried or true methods, let me know, im old and this is what ive always done, so id love to learn new ways!

tips for a broke punk trying to make diy patches like your “Useless Patch” patch!

So the current Useless patch I have at cons is hand screenprinted by me, but screenprinting does have an initial cost and i think not the best option for a broke punk who is looking to just make a couple of patches. There are so many ways to make patches, but heres what I did when i first started. Get some good 'ol wax paper you can get at the grocery store. and some cheapo acrylic paint, any kind will do, those little bottles you can get anywhere, and one of those spongy brushes. if you are too broke for spongy brush, (they are cheaper at the hardware store than the craft store often time btw) you can use a regular dish sponge or even a folded napkin, you just wanna be able to dab the paint.

get a piece of paper and draw your design on it, you wanna be careful with letters that have enclose spaces like O's and R's, i actually suggest if youre using this method the easiest 'font' to use is the basic punk stencil, which is actually literally just a grade school stencil. you dont need to buy a set, you can look at a reference and draw it or print it out if you have access to a printer and paper (library might help if you dont!) these are the letter type im talking about. Sorry for all these shitty google images lmao. ANYWAY.

grab a razor or an xacto knife and cut the letters out of your wax paper, wax side down, be careful obviously, helps to put a flat piece of cardboard underneath and you can tape it down to keep it in place if you want. once you have your design all cut out you can place it on your piece of fabric. with the wax side down on the piece you plan to paint, run the iron over it. itll stick! neat! now you can grab your paint and use some method (i really like the dab with a sponge brush, dish sponge or papertowel method myself) and paint in your stenciled letters. dont let it dry between coats, layer it up till its a nice solid white or whatever color youre using, let it get slightly tacky but not dry and peel your wax paper off. the design should now be painted on your fabric! hurray! let it dry and the next day, press your iron over it to heat set it and voila! diy cheapo patch. its not going to be perfect, there will be bleeding in your edges, if that bothers you, you can fix it with black (or whatever color your fabric is) paint. either way doesnt matter, punk can be messy. I've made lots of patches this way, heres a pic of the recent ones, the Punks Respect Pronoun patch is the one ive done most with this method, it has the stencil letters i was talking about so it stays in one piece without me having to piece it together. for the record i am totally fine with people making Useless Patch, and if someone does, I'd love to see it! And obligatory shop shill, i will have my own versions of both these patches in my store soon when I get some time! I'm sorry I dont have pics for the process, next time I do it, ill take some and post them <3

Thanks for the Q!

Ooooh jealous Arcane cast headcanons?

I am eating TODAY. Yes, my dearest.

If you want to make requests or are looking for something? Here is my master list. Gonna keep this one SFW, with some implications and language but not enough to be too bad. If you are wondering why there is no Caitlyn or Vi? I am in denial about the break up in the rain and I refuse to see them with other people because they are perfect together, thank you for coming to my TED talk

•🐀Silco

-Not a wise idea because he will have the person 'taken care of' if they get too fresh

-If you are the flirter, he will lay down the law, by showing you who is boss...if you know what I mean

-Loves you dearly, so please don't make him jealous, it hurts deeply

•💣Jinx

-BOOM BITCH

-That is the last thing who ever flirts with you will hear

-Sweet baby already thinks she is a curse, is scared you will leave her

-Will give you very visible hickies so you are marked and EVERYONE knows that you are not single

-Will get an inch from you and glare at you if you even look at anyone

•⌛Ekko

-Not a very jealous guy, he is very confident in your and his relationship

-BUT

-Do not touch anyone else, like putting your hand on their arm or drape your arm around someone's shoulders. It makes him so green with jealously because he likes to be the only one you touch

-Will butt into the conversation and introduce himself as the boyfriend to make sure they know to STOP

•🦇Scar (bat guy from the Firelights)

-Very easy to make jealous. Very insecure because he looks different from everyone else. Not so much about you being unfaithful.

-Looms behind you like a shadow and glares at anyone who gets 'too friendly'

-Will pout if you get too friendly, even with friends. He can't help it, he is working on it, really

-Someone got punched once because they accidently touched your ass and you squealed in shock. Was and still is not sorry.

•💪Vander

-Another very confident that the relationship is strong

-Will beat drunk to a pulp who gets handsy with you

-Everyone knows better than to mess with Vander's family because it is straight up suicide.

•🔥Finn

-Likes to make you jealous, pretends he doesn't

-Goes to show you off, but he gives a mean mug to anyone whose look lingers way too long on you.

-If they touch you, immediately they are dead. Done for, no longer of this earth. Goodbye.

-Same will happen if you get flirty with someone. That person is a goner.

•⚒️Jayce

-Poor pouty baby. He knows you love him, but what if someone better came along? Someone who could give you more attention?

-Will sulk, sigh a lot while messing with something in the lab

-Will need lots of reassurance that nothing was happening. Cuddling and neck kisses fixes it quick.

•📖Viktor

-This poor skrunkle punkle is already insecure because of his failing body and other physical limitations

-It's hard not to get jealous because he is always wondering why you would want him anyway.

-Throws himself into work and shuts the world out. You can get him out of it with sweet milk and a real good hug. It'll get him talking at least.

-You know what else gets him to look up? You, walking naked into the lab.

•🖌️Mel

-RUINS them

-Straight up will interject and lay it down. They dare show their face here AND in that outfit? Pathetic.

-You are going to get a cold shoulder until she is ready to talk about it

-Paints her frustration away. If you sit with her while she does it, she will talk it out with you

•🚬Sevika

-Bitch, bye, you better not even think about it

-That arm of hers gets all glowly and her glare is so cold it will stop the offender in their tracks.

-A bit pouty, but more annoyed that you would even entertain the cretin

Littol update for my friends

I will not be dming anyone besides my partners for the time being as alot is happening and I want to focus on my projects for a few weeks, I may break this but I need to work on my final test and my comics, speaking of by Tuesday we will have updates on comics.

About juicy jury:

As of right now I'm not focused on this story as alot of people have put it off and with the pressure of strangers and pressures on myself the story has became almost a burden at the moment, I will be continuing it, I love the story but I simply cannot make posts on it with 8 other projects

The other projects:

I have alot planned for the infection au, so expect more from that.

Within the next month their memories and three mutants will BOTH be updated.

Cowtail has a few things coming out as well as an AO3 story in the works, it is Raph centered based off of after the shredder attack and will be multi chaptered.

I will still be talking here and posting here, just simply cannot handle the amount of energy needed for dms on discord

Thank you for understanding and being patient, a few exceptions might be allowed but as of right now I just need a break from people. (I still love you all tho! Very much! My sprinkle spankles little scrunkle punkles <3/platonic)
