My Hamefura corner grew!

I got these custom made! ♥️ (Is this what I do with my grown-up money? Yes.)

It's funny that these arrived after I got my tattoo. Feels like a month to celebrate Hamefura as whole (with the new LN coming in less then a week and all!) 🐍🚩

Now I'm gonna need a new shelf 🥺

I came up with this three-way table to help me (and now you, if you want) to rate things out of 5 stars. I was thinking of books and films when I made it, but you can probably use it for other stuff.

The idea is that you rate the thing on how much stuff you loved and how much stuff you hated, and those things weight against each other. There's only one way to get 5 stars or 1 star, so those should end up as the rarest ratings, wtih 3 stars being the most common.

'Spicy' means that the thing inspires emotion, whether positive or negative, while 'bland' means it doesn't affect you much either way.

An example of a 3-star (spicy) - for me personally - would be the Twilight series, because there's plenty of garbage in there but also some things that are like crack to me. I can't think of an example of a 3 star (bland) because by nature they don't stick in the mind.

(This also assumes giving 0 stars isn't allowed. That'd throw it out of whack...)

can anyone tell me the watch order for every movie ever so i can understand all references and homages

Today in niche genres of joke that I can never get enough of and will probably still be secretly thinking about four years later

[vantassurman]

Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”

They are her girlfriends

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

[vantassurman]

the grief of growing

[vantassurman]

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

[vantassurman]

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

[vantassurman]

Hell yeah

[vantassurman]

I made some piccrew of the character (they didn't have dark green options sorry sophia)

[vantassurman]

I think Katerina would be very happy in Animal Crossing but would also deeply miss her friends and family.

The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?

[vantassurman]

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

No but we need to talk about Sora more. He's honestly THE character of all time because???

He learnt an ANCIENT LANGUAGE for a crush. Was it even reciprocated??? Was it just to impress her??? Did it actually help??? We don't know for sure but we do know he still kinda knows how to read it

He still can do fire magic? The dark magic thing didn't replace that? He can very much still set things on fire? At least candles, or enough to light the way.

He has experience torturing people. Idk which previous owner he had decided letting the slave learn torturing skills was a good idea. (Oh right, the one who thought he could kidnap two fiance's of princes)

He's like, the only member of the harem who's had crushes and relationships before? Cezar has had "dalliances" with what are most definitely brothel workers, but that doesn't count. Everyone else is strictly Bakaromantic.

How old even is he???? He's a "young man", Catarina doesn't consider their ages to be too far apart, but he's also an "older" archetype romancable from FL2. I know that he also has no idea, but I need to know if this is 21-23 territory or if he's like 27-29. He could even be over 30 and catarina is just including her past life when comparing. Please.

He's killed. Cezar has guilt about his past, but Sora has moved on with zero worries. I think the anime changed it so that Sora kinda just blacked out for the dark magic ritual, instead of killing the sacrifice himself, but he's also done "all the different dirty deeds". You can't convince me that silencing loose ends wasn't one of them. Also, if Sora was blacked out and didn't shank the sacrifice himself, how would he know it was some elderly guy? He definitely did it himself in the novel.

He has no experience with stability. He's never had a healthy relationship, the only time he had confidence in his next meal and a place to sleep was when he was a SLAVE. His favourite food is the dorm food from the ministry, his dream relationship is one where the girl does something like cook for him instead of want sex. His standards are so low and he deserves so much more (which I can give him)

He spent multiple months unofficially working at the ministry while still not knowing where anything was. No one gave him an induction. Because they were too busy. Like what??? Was he still getting paid at least?????

He has one shirt. He wears the same, illfitting black shirt both when working and on his off days. Please please please can we crowdfund him a new one. That neckline is NOT flattering, it's flapping about everywhere. I want to see him in more suits!!! A different colour shirt!!! Anything, please I'll take anything. I'm pretty sure he only has one pair of trousers too.

He was a slave? A straight up slave? A genuine slave? Passed from owner to owner? The rest of the harem is royalty, nobility, + one prodigy so prodigious other countries have heard of her. But Sora is just a fucking ex-slave??????

His go-to way to get information is to start flirting. His go-to way to get help is to put on a sad face. His go-to way to get out of Consequences is to say he's very sorry. And it WORKS.

Despite this, his charisma stat is only 3 out of 5???????

He can do like any job that isn't writing reports. He has experience driving carriages, being a day worker, butler, escort, bodyguard, whatever it is he does at the ministry, etc

He's canonically physically stronger than everyone else. But Geordo and the princes have regular sword training? Sora barely has consistent meals, where does he find the energy and time to hit the gym??? Is this just the power of being an actual adult?????

I have a folder with a screenshot of every frame from the anime with him in it. Oh sorry, this one is off topic-

Can we go back to the learning a dead language for a crush part?? Seriously, that's really impressive. When did he find the resources to do that. "Hey mr master guy can I have a tutor to teach me Latin 2.0 for no reason. It'll definitely help with your evil plan."

His 5 seconds in the movie were so extra and for what. Bro covered his right eye to act all chuuni. As far as I'm aware, his dark magic vision isn't limited to one eye. Why did he do that.

His fake surname is SMITH. That's so boring. I'm still mad about it. He didn't even get it from someone who's called Smith. It's just Susanna's fake surname that she said he could use as well. I have much better recommendations. My surname is MUCH nicer sounding, but so is literally every other surname in their universe.

He's the only guy with a Japanese name. Everyone else is called either European/European sounding names (except for Cezar or those from Mutraq). I know this is because his name was picked on literal meaning, but that's still a fun fact. It also is more proof hamefura was translated instead of localised, because Sky is a feminine leaning yet gender neutral name just like Sora is.

His hair is BLUE. You could say Alan's hair is platinum blond but More, and Raphael is a redhead but more literal, Rozy is brunette but stylised, and Aquil just has purple tips for funsies or circus reasons, but Sora has a head full of BRIGHT BLUE HAIR, in a world where everyone else is natural colour adjacent, and this is never questioned. Cezars golden eyes are scary and unnatural to the point he hides them, Sophia ghost white hair and red eyes are pretty plot significant, but Sora's blue hair??????? Yeah that's just natural.

His birthday is celebrated on September 25th, because that's when he met Catarina. He doesn't know his biological birthday, so it's just the day that this version of Sora was "born". Sora the Catarina simp.

For all his past relationship experience, his feelings for Catarina are entirely new. As in, he's never felt this type of pure, innocent love before. He gets all flustered about it, and experiences cuteness aggression.

Does this imply he was wooing earlier girl who liked ancient script to get in her bed??? How does that even work? "Me and the older lady I bagged by pretending to be a nerd"??? Again, did it work?

Was the first one to kiss Catarina unless I'm mistaken. This isn't exactly a good point because NONE of her kisses have been consensual. (Seriously, why do people keep kissing her so much. Geordo I'm looking at YOU.) But he IS the only person who has stopped trying to kiss her at every opportunity after realising she wasn't into that. (Geordo. I'm looking at you.)

If he appears in FL2 as a worker in the ministry, meaning the whole kidnapping thing went as scheduled. Does that mean the plot to get both Geordo and Ian removed from the line of succession worked? Didn't that version of Geordo straight up not have a fiancé though? Unless everything was completely different?

He got hired by the Claes family to be Catarinas bodyguard, at least temporarily. AND he got indirectly hired by Mary to interfere with Geordo's attempts to have time with Catarina. He's really living the dream life. PAID to cockblock???? Incredible.

He's from Ethenell but can still do magic, which is supposed to be a Sorcier Special Thing. At least, they absolutely don't have it in Quid. This is just another way in which Sora is amazing 🥰

He saw a childhood friend in trouble, was shocked he wasn't dead, then almost went "nah not my problem". But then he DIDN'T, because of Catarina's influence

Despite being a new addition to the ministry, and, again, NOT BEING TRAINED, he is considered very talented and capable at his work.

Speaking of his work, WHAT IS IT???? they're in the magical tool department but he doesn't make anything? He gets sent outside the office sometimes to do extra work? He randomly appeared in the movie right before the bird was released?? Seriously wtf is his job description.

He has lunch with Catarina and walks her back to her carriage every day yet no one considers him a significant rival. From this we can conclude that Geordo and Mary have no idea this happens.

If you read the whole thing honestly like marry me or something because I need someone who is as insane about Sora as I am in my life. If you have any additional Sora facts I've forgotten PLEASE tell me.
