so since you did a danielle meets nb johnny story, ive gotta ask: graft daniel meeting nb daniel, what happens? for that matter, what would all your different daniels and johnnys think of each other?

my gut says graft!daniel would be consumed with feelings of self-loathing and envy, the latter of which he might not fully understand or even recognize. Would this express itself as contempt? Hard to say. and noise!daniel would probably be so put off the other guy he'd try to nope out of there asap.

#funny to think of meeting your clone and then by mutual silent agreement you both just turn and walk away

been rereading the road trip fic, and just wanted you to know that it still takes me on a journey so soul deep that it feels like I've been across the united states and felt feelings and seen sights I've never been in the vicinity of in my whole life... and that's the magic of fantastic writing. thanks for making it

Thank you for this kind message! I'm so glad that story has stuck with you. <3

always feel a lot about miyagi hearing daniel go, I just want to go home, I don't understand the rules here -- aka a feeling most immigrants have had at some point or another -- and then reaching out

fyi I'm going to be locking my fic to ao3 users. i know ao3 has already been scraped and there's nothing we can do about what's already out there, but it doesn't look like the ai nightmare is ending any time soon, so. idk what else to do.

what kind of man doesn't & better than your best by menocchio, also known as 'road boys' (or it was when it was being posted and I was reading!).

I decided to continue down the design path I took with Tucked!, printing titles directly onto book cloth and using single-colour endpapers. My second project was actually bootstrapping, but I messed up that binding so much I didn't want to share it at first - one day I might cut the text block out of the case, re-do the case and case it in again, to fix all the problems I had. I do console myself with the fact my colour and cover paper choices were on point, at least. check out the mad 80s/90s energy of this, I'm in love. (I'm pretty sure I had a tracksuit in the early 90s in those exact colours.)

what kind of man doesn't and better than your best are a series so I wanted them to match. I chose yellow/orange as the colours for wkomd because of how when I started reading it, the image seared into my mind was that of a hot and golden California sun. for btyb I went with a dark green and blue because it's a kk3 rewrite, and I associate it very strongly with bonsai so I wanted a more down-to-earth colour palette for it. as it happened I had Dubletta (same brand bookcloth as for Tucked!) in those colours so it was an easy choice.

so many things went wrong with the bootstrapping binding, starting with...my printer deciding to do an adjustment thing and me forgetting about this, so when I put in the carefully cut and measured book cloth sheet in, it printed...like this:

I should've recognised it for the Omen it was.

I redid it, and then between measuring and cutting the boards for the case and casing in, the textblock swelled (or I measured wrong?) which meant the textblock was pressing against the insides of the hinges, making them look bulky and gross instead of crisp and square. and also, the cover paper I used didn't take the moisture from the PVA well AT ALL so it instantly wrinkled and could not be smoothed out hard as I tried, so the cover is just. wrinkled now. I also somehow managed to lay it down askew so the cover paper is not parallel (notice the overlap differences between the bottom and top of the front cover).

as if that wasn't enough, the logo on the spine is off centre too! sheesh. not to mention the endpapers! I somehow missed an edge curling over and so it...glued in place like this. and the corresponding corner has a starch paste stain now.

I was so mad about it all that when I put it in to press, I faced it away from me. think about what you did, asshole

in beautiful contrast, almost* nothing went wrong with wkomd and btyb!

*I accidentally glued the spine piece down to wkomd incorrectly so I had to reprint that book cloth and cut a new spine piece. I tried to gently cut the spine piece off the original book cloth to see if I could re-use the book cloth, but I just cut through the cloth and also left a layer of board on it in places so, no, lol. I did salvage the back and front parts of the cloth to use in other projects and only discarded the spine piece. it could've been a lot worse.

#op these are INCREDIBLE #your eye for colors... #and they look so meticulously crafted!! just WOW WOW WOW

Tucked! by menocchio

A5 hardback, printed on eco-craft 100% recycled 100gsm Oatmeal paper and casebound in Dubletta Pink Blue 3275, with Daler-Rowney Canford 150gsm Royal Blue as ends. Typeset in Charter.

This bookcloth is so hard to photograph asdghjsls and get the colour right, I did my best. I am so happy I found endpapers that colour match the blue backing of the bookcloth! I was a little impatient when I took these photos so the textblock looks a little loose in the case, the book is back in the press and drying out.

For this I wanted to try to print the title directly onto the bookcloth but I didn’t want a semi or quarter bound book, so I folded the boockloth and put through my printer. The spine printed fine (if a little crooked) so that was a success, but the printer got ink on the fold so next time I try this I’ll probably have to cover the folded edge with some painters tape or similar.

I am really happy with how this came out though and can’t wait to bind more menocchio fic - I have some very 80s/early 90s looking graphic paper I want to wrap around Bootstrapping 👀

You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you because he wants to fuck the car. He wants to fuck the car so bad. He can't stop thinking about wanting to fuck the car.

there are many authentic queer details in the latest ep of the last of us. for example, in this pivotal scene, the karate kid is there.
