I’d been eyeing this stunning design by @aleksibriclot for years, and a little while ago (after two years of working on it) I finally finished it! It has all the dark norse fantasy vibes that I wanted Ragnarok to be, and I figured hey, I can make it myself!
I had to up a lot of my leatherworking skills for this one, and I dove into a lot of new skills as well to try to make all the pieces a cohesive whole. It uses lambskin leather, suede cowhide, and veg tan, as well as an entire sheepskin for the cape!
This whole costume has truly been a labour of Loki love and I’m so glad I was able to share all the madness (process) and the finished look!
It's like she doesn't realize that a lack of answer to "how are you" can mean, as repeatedly proven, "not horrible but not well enough to talk with you".
Vent since I can't talk about this on Xitter
My Mom keeps demanding I reply ASAP to her text messages, this is daily and very often "how is it going?". If I don't respond within an hour she calls and if I miss that call she will dial 911.
I told her today that I don't have the energy to be social when I am feelin unwell and she responded that "I am asking if you are okay not inviting you for coffee and cake". Responding to texts is socially draining and especially hers since they stress me out. Last time I even sent her a notice that I was going nonverbal/unsocial and turning off my phone and she responded with "okay" but the next day I saw that she had sent messages later on asking if I was okay with a very demanding tone.
I have not even spoken or written to my Big Bro today even though they are one of the people I like talking to the most (unlike Mom).
Sir Terence David John “Terry” Pratchett, OBE (born 28 April 1948) is an English author of fantasy novels, especially comical works. He is best known for the Discworld series of about 40 volumes. Pratchett’s first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971, and since his first Discworld novel (The Colour of Magic) was published in 1983, he has written two books a year on average. His Discworld book, Snuff, was at the time of its release the third-fastest-selling hardback adult-audience novel since records began in the United Kingdom, selling 55,000 copies in the first three days.
Pratchett was the UK’s best-selling author of the 1990s and has sold over 85 million books worldwide in 37 languages. He is currently the second most-read writer in the UK, and seventh most-read non-US author in the US.
Pratchett was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1998 and was knighted for services to literature in the 2009 New Year Honours. In 2001 he won the annual Carnegie Medal for The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, the first Discworld book marketed for children.
In December 2007, Pratchett announced that he was suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Subsequently he made a substantial public donation to the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, and filmed a programme chronicling his experiences with the disease for the BBC.

I’ve told this story ten thousand times and I will tell it for the ten thousandth and first: whenever I think about wearing a costume to work on Halloween, I remember the time I saw a doctor breaking what must have been devastating news to a sobbing patient while the doc was dressed as a ketchup bottle.
