I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

new tutorial, this time for "fake" medals you can use to decorate your jacket or any stuff really.

give yourself a weird award you yourself came up with, coorperations do it all the time!

stuff you will need:

-scissors

-variation of pliers

-a stencil, the shape you want the fabric part of ur medal to be, make it a bit bigger so youll have room to sew

-piece of fabric two times the size of your stencil

-sewing needle

-sewing thread, i use dental floss

-safety pin

-paperclip, or just iron wire, around 1 mm Ø

-bottlecap

start with cutting out the two pieces of fabric for your medal using a stencil

pin em to eachother, with the sides you want to be on the outside, facing inwards.

sew along the side but keep the top open, so you can flip it inside out.

now you can flip in inside out, and fold the top around the safety pin, and sew it down

make sure the side of the pin that doesnt open is the one being sewn down. the opening part should be on top.

bend the paperclip into something resembling the shapes in the pic below using the pliers, doesnt need to look good, mine sure dont

bend the edges of the bottlecap to the inside, and pin the hook part of the right iron wire thing down under the edge

connect the iron wire hoop you made (left in picture) to the piece of iron wire on the bottlecap. fold the point of the fabric part of the metal around the hoop and sew it down.

should look something like this.

now you can add decorations, you can paint the cap aswell as the fabric part, using patterned fabrics can also make ur medals look nicer.

ive seen people advise using modgepodge to seal the painted cap, instead of nailpolish, i dont have modpodge where i live but use that if youre able to get ur hands on it.

i hope this was clear, let me know if you want tutorials on any other stuff. i like doing them a lot.

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

the walmart down the street proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

Hi, me! Can you give me (or is it us?) some headcanons on how the Ramshackle gang would treat a reader that just joined the scrap gang? Thanks, me!

YES OF COURSE I WOULD, ME. I AM VERY KIND TO MYSELF AFTERALL, I WILL GIVE YOUR DAMN HEADCANONS.

✧ ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ ✧

Stone, Vinnie, and Skipp with a reader who just joined their gang!

Requested by : myself

✧ ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ ✧

So, you, a fellow scrap, was beaten up by the RICH people, and then the RICH people left you inside a (quite fancy looking) dumpster. Fast forward a few hours later, Vinnie and co was searching for food on the (fancy) dumpster, and then found your stupid pathetic ass in it. So they took you in, blah blah blah, now you're apart of their gang hooray!

STONE - !

"Eh, who are you again?"

-so, uh, he uhhh kinda ignores you a bit at the start

-you tripped and fell? Stone is ignoring you. You were thieving around and one of the lootbags saw you? Stone is ignoringg. Youre gonna get murdered? IGNORE

-But day by day, he acktually finds your company sorta enjoyable

-now he tolerates you (its improvement)

-offers you a cig everytime he smokes, offers you a bottle of BOOZE everytime he drinks

-oftentimes you and him go to a SPOOOKY graveyard and just hang around, sitting on the grass, not talking for hours on end

-and sometimes when he gets sick from all the ALCOHOL he has consumed, you are ALMOST ALWAYS the one that needs to put up with him

-treats you like a lil sister/brother of sorts

-he feels comfortablr around you now yay yippee yay

-sometimes you steal his ciggaretes and booze to stop him from being an addict but he finds them everytime you hide em

-also dont even try asking him about his past he will NOT answer.

-pats you on the head sometmes.

-just get used to emo and edgy shit if youre dealing with his ass

VINNIE - !

"Welcome to the gang, y/n! We got everything that you need. A can of beans.. Shelter.. A not-so-clean water source..."

-Vinnie is a bit reserved when talking to you, she might seem a bit uninterested and kinda an asshole for the first few conversations you two have

-BUT OF COURSE SHE GOT MORE CONFORTABLE AS TIME GOES ON

-treats you like skipp or stone (depends on your personality)

-very energetic so may make you a bit tired when she talks to you too much

-might be surprised if you managed to beat up a RICH person (yknow bc yo ass got beat up by a buncha lootbags and she thinks you is weak as hell)

-if you are a STEALING MASTER, she'll probably help you steal some jewelry and food

-oftentimes you and her visit the RICH PEOPLE MARKETPLACE and steal some food

-but vinnie, being a bit stupid at times, only stole some HICKORY SMOKED BEANS instead of.. steak.

-Vinnie and YOUU likes to sing your heart out at 4 in the fucking morning, (other scraps hate you!)

-One time you jokingly bet that theres 3 cents on the dumpster you fucking got dumped in and you were right. Now she genuinely thinks you can see the future (thanks @vv4loe for the idea bro you saved this post)

SKIPP - !

"Finally, a new best friend! Nice to meet you!"

-gets comfy with you instantly

-like holy shit sometimes he'll look at you with wide eyes and a grin while you do something not-impressive (like walking backwards)

-Skipp gives u trinkets, and may knit you a scarf!! (Yes i hc he can knit)

-you and Skipp usually walk around time, giving unwanted advice to THE RICH PEOPLe, and then getting in trouble with the police.

-also, will patch you up whenever you get hurt! Like this man literally has a first aid kit at all times, and idk where he puts it

-the first time you saw Skipp say a bad word, you got so distracted and walked straight to a wall.

-may attempt to innitiate platonic cuddling with you

-may attempt to make you smile more if you frown all the fucking time

-if u play instruments, he'll immediately try to get you to play with him. He'll play the banjo (or whatever the fuck he plays i forgot), and you'll play (insert instrument here).

-likes it when you grab his hand while you're both talking

my mom hung up some clothes of mine on the doorframe and it seriously could not convey more "this guy dresses like a cartoon bully" if it got up and stole a kids lunch money

WHY DO YOU POST 50 TIMES A DAY?

My life was better before the pukicho renaissance

I posted 3 times today and the renaissance has just begun baby. Listen we're taking this shit all the way to the top, we're going past tumblr we're taking everything over baby. We're going to the fucking MOON! AND I'm taking you with me you fat bozo!!

[aerowolf]

ultimately I have become the old man on the internet who must keep up with trends and that is actually very relaxing because it means I can say fucked up shit that's wrong and feign ignorance.
