editing is so funny because it's like "damn, i wrote 'before' two times within three paragraphs. they are going to stone me in the town square for this"

I think I want to share some more of my sewing On Here (largely because I hate instagram for a number of reasons).

And also because this sewing project is quite silly and fandom tumblr will appreciate it more.

I wondered, one day, what the Thirteenth Doctor would wear if she had gotten stranded in the past with Yaz. And because I am me, I decided to make it.

Edwardian bicycle trousers in teal wool (from Woolsome in Poland, because they had the right color!). Buttons from Pacific Trimming in New York. Pattern from Black Snail Patterns. Entirely hand-sewn by me. Assistance by cat.

In a deal with a fae, you must give up something you hold dear. Whether it be your name, your first born, or something else, it must be held dear. You, gave up your addiction. It worked.

You’re a villain. You steal things. You have a territory that you rule with an iron fist. You live in the sewers, and have caused several people to disappear down here. You’re the bad guy. So why, pray tell, is the city sending down ambassadors to discuss your management of public services?
