#there are a lot of sections i wanted to include for this but like it just didn’t Quite work ygm?

[ghostlandtoo]

i made copies of @cryptocism's fic frequency for a friend as a gift! (with author permission, thank you so much!) this was a very simple project that i made extremely complicated, but i'm very pleased with the final results! quarter(ish) bind with bookcloth on the spines and paper on the bookboards. i recreated the typography for the fic title from cryptocism's artwork, and really ran with the circuit board theme. so many glamor shots follow:

volume one has chapters 1-10. the colors and design of the cover are the same as bart's costume! i also wanted there to be some design elements that tied the two volumes together, which is why the titles are both in gold with the matching circuit pattern.

volume 2 has chapters 11-22, and i was worried about spine well (for both volumes) but there actually wasn't much! the colors are to match thad's inertia suit.

i sewed the headbands with embroidery thread, and am getting a little better at it. the bookcloth was made from cotton fabric, wheatpaste, and kozo paper as backing.

i originally intended on tipping in the artwork cryptocism made, about one piece per chapter and several comics, and had several textblocks with the art included but it unfortunately created a lot of spine swell (because i made it way more complicated). and then i ran out of this white paper and didn't want to reorder more for matching volumes. an example of what it looked like in one textblock:

also, i tried my best to sand the edges but it's only 20lb paper so they just kept fraying and fraying, so i bought a guillotine. life has been bliss since then.

[fonts used: jersey sharp for the chapter titles and POV titles. garamond premier for the body text, pixel operator for chapter subtitles (and i also used it for craydl's dialogue!), and lightning bolt for the section breaks which thankfully included a the flash bolt.]

🍬King Candy (Wreck-It Ralph) x (gn) Reader👑

(Confession Edition!)

(Section two everyone!!! When I have enough posts for both I’ll make a masterlist! I’m kinda surprised how quick it took for people to like the previous one— Thank you so much to the people who have reblogged/followed me!!!)

- Those years of hiding away from the rest of the arcade after his major fuck up gave him lots of time to think, and mellow himself out even, though that violent impulsiveness is still there when he gets frustrated enough.

- If you catch his eye, whether it be due to you being from Sugar Rush, an older game, or newer— Or if you two were a thing before the whole RoadBlasters disaster, he isn’t nearly as stubborn with his feelings as he used to be.

- He handles it far more smoothly, though his reach is more limited (I like the idea that he can’t necessarily leave Sugar Rush due to his disguise slipping without it so this will apply here), probably getting Sour Bill to invite you to the game after hours so he can commune with you more.

- If you belong to Sugar Rush it is a bit of a different story; it's more convenient for his intentions to pursue you romantically.

- He tries and more or less succeeds in being classy in his attempts at courting you, having a kind of classic way of doing so— Giving you various edible gifts he reprograms to your liking.

- Pet name galore, all candy themed. I don’t make the rules they just come to me in dreams/j

- Naturally keeps various things from you, including the mistreatment of Venallope by him and the rest of Sugar Rush, making sure everyone plays nice in front of you so you don’t notice how lonely the little girl is.

- Sugary as all hell, which is something one would expect from King Candy, who seems to never run out of ways to try to woo you whenever you come to his game.

- After like a year or two he steadily makes his intentions more and more apparent before going out and saying it out front after inviting you to a nice dinner at the castle.

- When you accept, my god is he delighted by the result of his patience and hard work (with a good degree of manipulation, knowing him.) Much like the life he was able to carve himself into this game, he has a sense of pride about your relationship.

- His over dramatic personality comes into play, whenever someone takes interest in you in front of him he’s ready to scuffle, raising his fists up to “defend your honor”.

- It’s silly, but endearing, backing his actions up with saying his intentions are true, giving you an overly heartfelt and mushy response that gets an eye roll from Sour Bill, well deserved.

- The way King Candy loves is… Cartoonish at times, over the top, oozing that jolly and wondrous persona he’s so desperate to display in front of others, especially you.

- Though he does have moments where he lets you in, those moments where vulnerability cracks through that hard shell sugar coating he’s put on himself.

- His self-absorbed tendencies are there, no amount of time could ever take that away from him, it’s basically hard coded into him, in and out of his disguise.

- He’s quick to explain himself every time there’s a slip; either from himself or one of the many Sugar Rush subjects.

- He doesn’t let his frustrations out in front of you if he can help it, leading you away from whoever messed with his plan, placing a kind hand on the small of your back and giving the guilty party a brief yet annoyed glare before softening his face up for you.

- In many ways, he treats you right— But there's always a nearly imperceptible wall between you two, which always has him on guard in some way.

- There’s a yearning he wants to indulge in, but there's far too much risk for him to do so— He can't possibly know how'd you react if you knew his little, well, not so little secret.

- As much as he loves you, it isn’t enough to truly fill you in on everything, though unfortunately for him, the term “lies always come to light eventually” definitely fits his situation as his unwillingness to let things go (literally) inevitably does him in.

Slightly concerned that chapter 2 of my critically acclaimed new fic might be a bit shit...

[heartslobbf]

[ID: ten shots from 'revolutionary girl utena with excerpts of black text edited onto them. the first is of a bandage unravelling from around saionji's hand. text reads: '"you can be so inconsiderate." / "you are too sensitive." / "then why don't you take my feelings into consideration?" / "if you weren't so sensitive it wouldn't matter."'

saionji's exchange diary being dropped into an incinerator by touga. text reads: '"do you love me?" / "of course⁠—; but i resent it."'

saionji pointing a katana at touga, who appears unfazed by this. text reads: '"couldn't we ever speak to each other without irony?" / "sure."'

a close-up of touga and saionji's hands in saionji's memory; touga has just finished bandaging his hand. text reads: '"i love you, you know." / "yes... but why?"'

touga standing on a discarded love letter. a butterfly perches on a poppy near his foot. text reads: '"why do you like these paintings?" / "what isn't there is more important than what is."'

touga and saionji sitting back-to-back on a bicycle at sunset. text reads: '"we should be more open with each other." / "yes." / "shall we talk things over?" / "what is there to say?"'

touga and saionji sitting at the student council meeting table, cameras surrounding them. text reads: '"are you ever going to cut down on your smoking?" / "it's all right⁠— i don't inhale."'

touga and saionji standing in the student council elevator together. text reads: '"sometimes i get very annoyed with you." / "the world is annoying."'

touga and saionji embracing intimately as saionji prepares to pull to touga's sword for a duel. text reads: '"do you enjoy suffering?" / "you can't work if you don't suffer." / "but we suffer anyway." / "i know."'

young touga and saionji in a church, touga kneeling down to utena's coffin to play with her hair; saionji stands behind him anxiously. text reads: '"you're always so negative." / "i feel death all the time." / "are you afraid of anything?" / "not working."' /end ID]

[bowtiestash]

so i've been readin a lot of webtoons recently, and i gotta say that i'm hooked on a lot of them. a lot of them involve romances, which i don't hate. however, i kinda wish that there were some romances where it was inherently queer or where the characters are queer in some way. ik theres the market with BL and GL and they're separate categories, but my god. i just wish that there were at least some gay shit in the background for the "mainstream" stuff. it doesnt even have to be the main characters being queer. i'd just like to see some characters being casually bisexual or gay or smth. or maybe a plot where it seems like it's heterosexual but it subverts expectations and it's gay. maybe im just not lookin hard enough lol

[muu-kun]

Speaking of fashion, I will eventually have the appropriate amount of time to dedicate myself to a proper attire headcanon post. For now, I only have examples for silhouettes pertaining to dresses gathered. Which at this point can ultimately be narrowed down in explanation as Muu holding preference for a bodice that does not require even just a modest breast size.

Although he does wear bralettes (which is not out of gender dysphoria or euphoria on any account actually. Instead, it is more so like a running joke with himself at this point due to the fact he's actually had an infatuation with wearing them since he was a sixteen year old boy that found a bra lying in the street) he doesn't do so with the intent of applying padding to them-- especially when considering the fact he has some minor gynaecomastia due to stubbornly persistent baby fat going on. He can deal with those, but he definitely doesn't want to even so much as imply he has "real breasts."

He also isn't one to gravitate towards those built around the necessity for breasts due to the fact that he does not wish for the attire adorning his body to appear as though something (or somethings) is missing. Which is also the given reason why even in his decision to wear what is considered women's underwear underneath the dresses similar to above, he does not engage in the act of tucking. Yes, that does come within treacherous territory per the fact that he is then advertising himself as a flamboyantly youthful individual with an occasionally visible (and not incredibly well endowed, mind you) genitalia outline in his attire. That's not even to mention the detectability of his disabilities on establishing conversation with him.

Beyond that, he's not too partial to much else. Length and material is otherwise irrelevant as long as he can freely move within it to accommodate an in-between active and sedentary lifestyle. He would also best appreciate those that are not overwhelming to the senses in one manner or another-- this includes itchiness, heaviness, lack of breathability, and so on. Textures usually aren't too worrisome to him, however, as he has been raiding the closet of his female friends (such as Hannah of @kannojo predominantly) for years, so by now he knows what he does and doesn't like with enough ease that even unexpectedly finding something is unappealing to him van be easily remedied without any fit.

The bottom line with all of this is while Muu strictly wears what is primarily marketed as women's clothing, he does not do so out of the desire to be a woman. In fact, he's asked that question within himself many times only to come up with the same conclusion each time: He is simply an aged up boy caught up in having to navigate too many things at once, therefore eccentricities intended to lighten his load have transpired. Being that 99% of abusers have been men throughout the years, and women his sanctuary from them, it became sensible at some point for him to cease one struggle for favor of mirroring his safety while he sources through another. Muu has no idea even how to be a person yet, let alone a gendered one.

That is also not to say he wishes to abolish entirely in favor of utilizing they/them pronouns. In fact, it still remains quite the opposite. At this time in his life, he's not looking to be othered more than he always has acquired for himself. Being gridlocked into a perpetual state of regression in his present has been isolating enough as is that he doesn't wish for more beyond that. It also has intriguingly been almost beneficial in keeping some of his identity centered, though, as being so interwoven with his inner teen provides connection with the perspective of character held back then.

When he was sixteen, he was very self assured in nearly all aspects in life until led to second guessing the bulk of them. Of those is one of which where he was well adamant that he was a boy with a preference for he/him pronouns to demonstrate that. And while he's been able to find appreciation for femininity that he'd have otherwise mocked in his youth, that is as far as it goes for the time being. Working beyond the semantics of that just isn't on the table at this time in his life.

Where he might go with it during Pride Month is still up to him, but, really, his focus is far more centered on fulfilling and answering other aspects of his person at this time. Generalized comfort and safety are of the utmost importance to his emotionally led manner of living. Once that is established, whether or not he opts for reintroducing what is considered men's attire back into his wardrobe is completely up in the air.
