#sorting box

[knotty-et-al]

Sorry to bother you again but have you done origami? If you haven't I'd love to see some origami from you!

Hi there! Yeah, it's alright. I like receiving asks/messages, tough it often takes a lot of time for me to reply. (Sorry for that.)

I already made some Origami, and I want to share once I feel able or motivated to photograph them.

(I find photographing Origami crafts veeery difficult.)

I made some modular Origami, and I also created a Shishabo cube with 12 irregular tetrahedron modules that a friend has shown me. (My friend created those modules, and we sometimes/often do Origami together.)

- - -- ---

My recent Origami craft was this stacked flower petal thingy

(It is an art object. But it can also be used as tiny sorting box for stuff like earrings, piercing jewelry or tiny crafting utensils.)

Top view:

(I added a hook made from wire. )

Bottom view:

(with a bead and wire at the center)

Three layers: (plus I attached two tiny red leather möbius strips, a blue origami link that my friend has given me and a tiny glass klein bottle below.)

Attached to furtherly add a second layer:

(white and pretty neon colors)

These are other "flower petal boxes" I made:

Making the modules is fun. I can also do it blindly. (Helpful if my eyes are very tired but I want a calmful activity to do.)

- - -- --- -----

I want to share some other origami soon. (I will tag it as "origami". )

No but fr having an indigenous family broken up for its own good by the state and one of them leave her homeland to go get a Real Education is not just counter to the original story's characterization, it's not just erasing the colonialism commentary for the sake of failed feminism presumably based on the girlboss objection to portraying women as caretakers and the classist objection to blue collar jobs, it is an act of colonialism.

It is in fact so ridiculously an act of colonialism that it should come off as such to anybody able to think about media critically for a few moments, but to anybody familiar with what the US did to many indigenous peoples via the faux benevolence of boarding schools, including to native hawaiians, it's fucking revolting.

Like, shoutout to removing Pleakley's gender exploration, to removing the cop villain in lieu of just having the mad scientist remain one, to removing some of Cobra Bubbles's nuance, to removing commentary on race and colonialism, etc etc, but mainly: this did a colonialism.

truth serum / system reveal au where shen qingqiu gets hit with an uncloaking spell that reveals the system in the reflection of his eyes every time it pops up.

during one of his missions, in the treasure hoard of some dragon-like creature, he finds a golden, oval shaped hand mirror, its gaudy style more victorian based than anything (airplane you hack!), that doesn't seem to do anything when he looks into it. but when he does, it reveals the system's screen in his eyes.

he doesn't notice this, of course, because he can't see it, and the system, surprisingly, stays quiet.

the peak lords think he's cursed.

maybe mu qingfang is the first to notice, during the mandatory post mission check-up, when shen qingqiu is scrolling through his most recently accumulated points and mu qingfang can see the strange vividly-blue lines reflected in his pupils. it's gone when shen qingqiu blinks, like it was nothing but a trick of the light.

it comes out when yue qingyuan is visiting and, just as he's done laying out the plans for a new mission, shen qingqiu's eyes glaze over and a bright blue box takes over the whole of his iris. shen qingqiu goes quiet; the thing in his eyes moves, shifts, pulses for a second, like static worms crawling all over his pupils. then he blinks, and it's gone, and shen qingqiu accepts the mission that yue qingyuan was almost sure he would decline.

maybe there is an intervention, when the peak lords corner shen qingqiu at qian cao peak and try to figure out what's wrong, subjecting him to all kinds of treatments and curse-finding spells that turn up empty, they can't find anything.

of course, the silencing threat is still very much up and running. at first shen qingqiu was kind of confused by the whole ordeal, but when the peak lords start describing a "strange blue box", he realizes, with sickening suddenty, that they're describing the system. and he can't say anything.

this only makes everything worse, because their fellow peak lord now keeps evading every question and acts like he doesn't understand. liu qingge points right at his face and asks, "that blue box, what is it?" and shen qingqiu laughs nervously and starts talking about how bright the weather is and surely it's the sky and nothing to worry about!

even worse, during the intervention the system thought it was a good idea to start talking to him, so now even the peak lords who hadn't seen it and who might have been persuaded by light tricks and reflections, get a first row view that no, that definitely isn't a trick of the light.

they try to do the whole thing of "are you in danger, blink twice" but shen qingqiu can't even do that because it's still a direct admittance!

maybe eventually he starts saying vague confirmations that don't actually confirm anything, like "this master hears what you're saying", or maybe he goes with a classic "this master can neither confirm nor deny that." but the system starts warning him for that too and eventually he stops saying anything, which worries the others more.

luckily mu qingfang catches on that every time they ask a direct question about the box or shen qingqiu says anything vaguely confirming, it appears. it doesn't appear when they ask about curses or demons, so it must not see that as a threat.

for a little extra angst: maybe the peak lords keep pressuring him for answers, and at some point shen qingqiu gets fed up and snaps out something like, "why don't you understand that i'm not allowed to answer that!" the system counts this as a direct admittance, threatening it's existence. so it punishes. shen qingqiu has a qi deviation so bad it lasts two weeks and takes two people every day to cleanse his meridians. the system doesn't appear in that time. it doesn't appear for a long while after that, either. the peak lords stop asking, mainly because shen qingqiu will instantly leave the room if they do. they don't stop searching for a cure, though.

shang qinghua returns from a business trip and catches on the second someone mentions a blue box and forced silencing.

I've been wanting to watch MD for a while now and, from what I have seen so far, N seems to be my fav.

Anyway, may I please request N with a tiny labrador puppy? :>

'Lil man's name is The Spawn of Basketball. Uzi and Thad helped naming it.

I'm in no real shape or form an animal artist, so here's practice doodles of the beast as well.

And he had great influence, both from the favours which he bestowed and the fear which he inspired, but more from the fear. At any rate, Sicinnius, who gave the greatest annoyance to the magistrates and popular leaders of his day, when asked why Crassus was the only one whom he let alone and did not worry, said that the man had hay on his horn. Now the Romans used to coil hay about the horn of an ox that gored, so that those who encountered it might be on their guard.

the real struggle of skk characterisation i think is just that chuuya is so contradictory as a character ALONE, but people dont seem to apply this to skks relationship

dazai can read chuuya like a book, chuuya is one of the very very few capable of keeping secrets from dazai. chuuya has far more social experience with kids their own age, but dazai, who even while insisting on chuuya being his dog, is the first person that chuuya has been on equal terms with, the first person whose companionship isnt predicated on a contract of responsibility, is something just as new as what chuuya is to dazai. chuuya is loyal and trusts dazai blindly and falls into the plans dazai sets for him, but goes where he does knowing exactly what dazai wants him to do of his own volition.

a very special kind of giving up

(maybe i will clean this up later... but for now it remains a sketch)

[transmascutena]

such a funny phenomenon in this fandom when someone calls anthy evil, and then instead of just going "well that's stupid" and moving on, people start making posts about how "uh well utena is evil too why is nobody talking about that?" and it's just. um. what show are you watching. what's going on.

Recently, when I’m bored I just open up a canvas and turn a great god grove character into a furry beast

BBC Sherlock is on Hulu! :)

Congratulations!

the qiong ding peak disciples 100% have petty beef with lbh for stealing their favourite didi lmao

they're not gonna Actually beat him up (without Reason) but they're very emphatic about how thoroughly they WILL if lbh messes with sy. it's like a shovel talk that never ends

sy isn't actually completely oblivious to whats going on but he doesn't get why they're like this and he thinks theyre being fucking stupid (and he trusts them to not actually bully binghe) so he's elected to ignore their antics entirely
