I'm working on lace today and I was having some thoughts.
First, look, it's so pretty! And I've added new thread twice now and it's not so scary
It's not perfect, there's some tension issues and such, but I'm really happy with it and the pattern is fun
That said, I have to acknowledge that according to some people, I am doing it wrong
My thread (8/2 cotton weaving yarn) is too thick, and my pins are too big, and the heads are a big problem. This is what I'm told every time I post pace in a beginner lace group.
It's a damn good thing I'm stubborn and have enough experience in other crafts that I don't let those comments get to me, otherwise I would have stopped making lace.
I'm not concerned about lace tradition being done with very fine threads. It's beautiful and intricate and lovely to look at, but it's not the lace I want to make. I want to use the same movements and techniques, and size up the patterns, and do it differently. I'm doing it on purpose. I'm doing it this way because it's what I want to do. It's more comfortable, and more fun.
It's also the exact same movements and process. The only difference is the size.
It makes me happy. It's relaxing and it doesn't stress my joints or my eyes. And I don't care if I'm looked down on by some because I'm doing it the easy way.
Make the art you want to make.

Chapter 198
I've wanted a Christmas filler chapter for a while, just because I think it would have some great phantomfam interactions + some snide comments from Sebastian about how useless God is or whatever he likes to brag about... but I know we may never get that, so I am over the moon with this image here. this is all I need😫 Ciel's scarf bow is our Christmas present.
and Ciel gets a muff too FINALLY☺️. it seems that once again yana really doesn't care about the fact that she's giving him predominantly female gendered clothing for the time era(as far as I know), but when has she ever cared. let's just congratulate Sebastian on his good parenting and feminism. or rather in this case, traditional values?.... mhm
it's just adorable.
...
we also got weird interactions like this:
yea Theo knows. and he angry. the real question is if in the end, he'll help the others escape their fledging day(most likely O!ciel's aptitude) or simply work to save himself(most likely R!ciel's aptitude).
finny is the best possible boy though, and who knows maybe this will all be solved by the power of friendship and Theo will ultimately put his trust in team O!ciel. that would be great!
...
;_;
this truly makes me so upset, it's not fair for Mabel to feel anything other than bittersweetness that her friend is leaving, rather than agony. same goes for everyone else.
....
these 2 kids are strong and it's is pretty odd, but I guess when compared to other characters like Jane, it's not too surprising...
maybe Doll gave them circus training, who knows. Mabel most likely, since Doll spends most time with her group, at least I'm assuming from the clothes.
also, I'm not a knife expert but those look like something they probably just plucked from the kitchen. if doll is with them, she isn't giving them special weapons like Layla owned. that's probably just a kitchen knife the "collie class" have access to.
...
honestly, I've tried so far to be very suspicious and hostile towards these kids in the hope that they'll get to walk away into the sunset like the possible side antagonists they are. but really, I'm just very much hoping that they don't end up going through any pain. I don't want any more serious moments where children cry, please...
so the ambush, why did this happen: I'm guessing that these kids don't just guarding the hallway regularly, and they just so happened to run into Finny today. my guess is that they knew/found out that Finny would sneak around(probably with Doll's insight? cause this is his first night!) and quickly prepared for him. but most importantly, they must know one way or another that the orphanage staff(or Doll?) is prepared to kill Finny soon.
what's most surprising to me is that these kids want Finny alive. idk about the other kids, but I think plenty of us assumed that Theo would rather have Finny(and snake) disposed of. so either I was wrong, or what's going on here is a manipulation scheme where Theo makes Finny think that he's in danger, simply so that he can use him. this makes more sense to me because if both Finny and Snake were in immediate danger, they would probably wake up Snake, too. after all, Theo is a pomeranian, he could think of such a thing. in this case the kids may be working for Doll.
if however this isn't a scheme and instead a genuine attempt to help finny and Snake, then they probably aren't working with Doll, since she probably wouldn't want to sneak them into the inner working of the facility.
ah idk, well find out next chapter. or, the whole next chapter will be spent walking to the meet up room. maybe finny will start flashbacks right there right now. who knows.
where should I place my bets, that these kids are gonna take Finny back to some secret hide out room(possible blood drawing), or are they gonna take him back to where Doll is cause they're working with her...
...
also, it's really interesting how these two stay in "character" right here, both in the typical pose of the person/role they're mocking.
...
actually you know what, Theo probably figured that Finny was worth being recruited after this right here:
sorry, long post today, lots to worry about, and if you read all this then you mean the world to me! have a great day!

30-31: Beginnings of Training
Shioe Monjirou is a senior who is always hard on himself. But Senzou Tachibana-senpai says that Shioe-senpai may actually be the kindest to others...
I FINALLY GOT TO SUBBING THESE!!!!! I'm so excited look at these two!! monjirou pre-eyebags era...
I had some trouble with the audio mixing so if it sounds more defined in one ear than the other. my original mp4 was fine but it got messed up when I imported it and i had the same problem subbing ep 32...hope it isn't too obtrusive!
mega link here: (x)
youtube link here (unlisted): (x)
Happy watching!!
Extra rambling under the cut:
blessed concept art of these two that came with the episode preview. theyre so adorable nnnnnoooooooo ughhhhhh tiny senzou with his shy little smile noooooooo the monjirou expressions nnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooo
Caring Monjirou moments are probably some of my favorite in the show...he's strict and a little eccentric but I feel like he's genuinely really kind. he's so sheepish about his past though lol. the first years carrying on the dinner-making idea is so adorable i love that it's kind of a tradition now. when the first year hagumi five years from show canon i hope they can still hang out and make a nice dinner together. actually, i hope the current six years can also get together like they did when they were younger...the day they get another cute cutscene of them all eating and preparing dinner together with them five years later is the day i can finally be happy...nhk...

i wonder if it goes both ways tho, here is a simple phrase in my native romance language
"Como foi o seu dia?"
can you get the gist of it?
-fixes glasses- i know only because i tried to learn a lil bit of spanish at some point, i'm not the cleanest slavic slate- i can say that "como" is probably like. "how"??? if i remember right- and "dia" should be day?? i think? so i think the general gist is maybe "how has your day been"/"how was your day". Maybe.
it definitely goes both ways though, yes! i'll be watching Gabriel Iglesias and he suddenly takes out spanish n i'm left to transform into the white blinking man gif
