FIGHT FOR THE ARTS AND CRAFTS!!!

FIGHT FOR THE LEGACY OF A CULTURE!!!

The book binders, the shoemakers, the secrets of fabric and wood. What will happen when all is automatized, what will happen if we grow far and far away from the things we use and do.

Fight to keep alive the legacy. The wisdom and knowledge macerated by generations. Someone has to carry the torch!

#ahshashahsa ok I know it sounds like shit you'd find in a pamphlet #But I think a lot of what it means to be part of a hobby of a subculture and all of that #And I just saw the post about the user that started into bookbinding to bind beloved fanfics #and MAN #What will happen to the shoemaker in my town when he dies? #There are another 15 but they all will eventually die. And many people buy more shoes from fabrics in the other side of the world #The book binder closed his workshop years ago #and here I'm trying to bind a book with a youtube tutorial #what will happen when the secrets of tools and craftmanship die? #The little secrets. The secret wisdom. The correct way to cut fabric #The best posture to weave a basket. The divinitaion meaning of every card in a playing deck #Being part of a hobby is like being suddenly part of a whole guild #but we're so far apart #will someone pass the knowledge of how to make a nice table? will someone remember? #if a tree falls in a forest

i have genuinely so many thoughts about how the book Lieutenant Hornblower was adapted and how most of the changes work, when accounting for the fact it must necessarily leave Bush's POV in order to work as television, and how those changes end up fucking over Bush's character in the movies, and how he was further pilfered by the series' decision to maintain characters like Styles and Kennedy. There is so much going on in there. Unfortunately, I don't yet own a copy of Lieutenant Hornblower, and having to constantly borrow it from my library is a faff and prevents me using post its to mark important passages. :(

#i also last read lt hornblower over a year ago at this point #analysing the intersection of bush and kennedy is particularly ripe since kennedy DOES NOT EXIST in that book #and barely exists in the book prior. he's in two chapters. he has like 5 lines of dialogue. he probably gets killed in france #but in Lt you can understand the impulse! because other than bush and buckland? there are two other lts who arent important #so scrapping them in favour of an existing character you cobbled together for the series? yeah! yeah!!! #but they can't give archie the fate of either of the scrapped lts. bc itd be utterly ignomious #one of them gets cut in half by a cannonball. the other dies offscreen during the prisoners revolt on the renown #so they shift the circumstances of the firsts' death to a sequence with bush (the anchor thing) #and they alter the latter to remove archie from canon before he completely breaks the events of Hotspur #but THEY ALSO take actions from bush! and give them! to archie! #and it has a marked effect on bush's character in those two movies! #and when loyalty/duty are more “faithful” to the books re: bush's characterisation its jarring! #*shaking the books* i have so many thoughts #hornblower #“what does styles have to do with it” changes how he relates to the crew. #also they give the cradling bush scene to styles instead of horatio which is Funny as hell but also ;-; #it has a completely different tone but thats the stand in! for horatio calling for him tenderly! #but they couldn't give that scene to horatio because he was about to have a similar thing with archie. :(

hey, so uh. realized something while doing some fic writing.

so. Dee's birthday is June 23rd, right?

guess what day Jack started working at the Colorado (Dsaf 1) Location?

June 23rd.

what's more, Jack started working there on the day that Dee would've turned 20.

i'm screaming.

#dsaf #jack kennedy #dee kennedy #do you think he wished her a happy birthday? do you think he thought about it? or did he try his best to not think too hard? #do you think it was so painful that he didn't want to think about it? or do you think it was so painful he couldn't STOP thinking about it? #do you think the murders made it worse? knowing that more kids died on the same day Dee did all those years ago? in the same way? #i'm having too many thoughts AAAAAAAA

today i am sad thinking about how billy didn't have a single person in his life who cared about him or looked after him. we can assume that neil stopped really being there for billy after his mom left, so he most likely became independent and stopped asking people for help once he realized his mom wasn't coming back. he started pushing people away and getting tougher to please his dad, when all he really wanted was for his mom to come back and for someone to hear him.

he had no one throughout possibly ten years of his life and died with the knowledge that no one cared enough to save him. he saved his mom from his dad as much as he could but she still abandoned him. he saved a town he hated but ended up dying for people who would later on barely acknowledge his existence and what he did for them. like oh my goodness this kid was so selfless.

he spent his entire life looking after people who didn't care enough about him to look after him in return. every time susan looked away from him when neil hit him, he probably felt so stupid and little and worthless. billy was a kid forced to be a caretaker before he could even enter his twenties, a caretaker for people who didn't care about him.

#laugh out loud #billy hargrove #me when i make myself sad #i just have so many feelings about this boy #every time i think about how he died before even reaching his twenties #literally like four months after his eighteenth birthday !!!!! #im 😂 #he cared for all these people who never cared enough #he gave up his life for people who hated him #and didn't even try saving him 😊 #he got his strength from a memory from ten years ago #it shows that that was the last time he was ever loved #LIKE #😂😂 #he had no recent memories of what love felt like #girl bye #billy hargrove deserved better

ok but. glenn spent twenty years in the supermax. that's a long fucking time. do you think he forgot morgan's face. do you think he forgot nick's.

#and then he got out and. three days had passed for everyone else he loved #how out of place must glenn have felt? so many things happened and just So Much Time (twenty years!!!) went by for him #the court trial is a distant memory #so is the quest and the adventure #maybe something he clings to. maybe a good memory he looks keeps clutched in his fist. but it happened a very long time ago #and then he gets out! and he literally does not belong in this time! he went from being the youngest dad to the oldest #and to top it all fucking off #his son isn't his son and there are three other people in the entire fucking universe that know that he even ever had a kid #and his dead wife is alive. but shes married to a cop. and she doesn't know who he is. #i mean. no fucking wonder he wanted to kill his dad #after so much shit happened #no wonder he wanted to stay in the forgotten realms #and. let's be honest. dying is the best thing that's happened to him since his wife died #which. in case you'd forgotten. happened 27 years ago. #damn ! having feelings about glenn close #glenn glose #glenn close dndads #dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndads odyssey #nick close #morgan freeman #mine

Will this chapter be enough for people who separate Shirakumo and Kurogiri to understand that the part of Kurogiri so many people love IS Oboro?

#That caring and protective side of Kurogiri that I see so many people love WHILE believing that Oboro is a downgrade to his character #THAT SIDE OF KUROGIRI #IS OBORO YALL #they are one in the same #Kurogiri cares about that kid the same way he's always cared about those lonely outcasts 16 years ago #We've learned outright during the reveal of Kurogiri being Oboro as well #the personality that carried through all of AFO's manipulation and experimentation #was his protectiveness he died having #now... I'm concerned on how this is going to play out once Kurogiri actually gets on the battlefield and sees Shigaraki... #and lets not forget what Mic said... #he may have to pull that trigger #depending on what Kurogiri does next #shirakumo oboro #oboro shirakumo #yamada hizashi #hizashi yamada #kurogiri #present mic #bnha manga spoilers #follower 7 speaks

hi so so sorry if this sounds genuinely deranged but I need to know did you write a fanfiction in like 2014 that was set during ww2 where zoro from one piece was sent to a japanese internment camp and sanji went to conversion therapy I remembered it recently because it blew my mind at age 13 and I had to reread it + need a kind of where are they now with the author so if that's you 1) what's your stance on the fic today 2) how much of the research was done during writing and how much did you just know beforehand and used as inspo 3) did you have any ideas for where the other characters ended up because I did always wonder if like idk chopper overcame the trauma of being in the war and also just what usopp's situation would be in general what with the political climate. once again. if you didn't actually write this fic so sorry this must look like the ravings of a crazy person. godspeed

Hi. Uh, yeah I did write that fic. I would have been like only 17 at the time. I did do A LOT of research, like the fic was basically an excuse for me to research Japanese internment and WWII history in general bc I thought it was super fucked up. I was absolutely hyperfixated on the topic and my parents probably thought i was nuts for my ability to talk at length on this particular area of history. I just finished skim reading back through the fic and woof. What a bleak fucking story. I was very cruel to everyone. It's frustrating bc I think it's an interesting and compelling idea for a story. But to me it feels like: here is all the research I did and also characters talking in what feels like a too modern way. Plus, I was 17 and didnt understand people very well. I wish I had the energy and motivation to rewrite it. Although, I forgot I used to do song lyrics at the start of each chapter and the tonal dissonance of Owl City lyrics at the top of a chapter of harrowing events around the time of WWII is unfathomablly unhinged.

#as for where r they now? i forgot the last chapter was like fuck u nothing matters life goes on sanji probably died of lung cancer #like jesus dude calm down. i think now id give them a bit of a softer ending #like i mean sanji still prob dying of lung cancer but he lives a long life with zoro and thry make the most of the time they have together #and i mean when u see horrific things in war i imagine its something u never really get over but i think the crew members that became #soldiers go on to live fuffilling lives and usopp finds a stable and relatively well paying job. gets married and lives happily ever after #god. its so frustrating to me that ill probably never rewrite this. it could habe been so good #but i just dont have thst kind of energy. i do think abt this fic more than almost all my other tho #im glad u liked it anon. its a fucking unhinged fic just from the perspective of: rural ohio teen wants to research a fucked up aspect of #ww 2 history and decides to write a fucking fanfic abt it. like bro what why. but idk weird weird times #there could have been themes and exploration of trauma and adversity. complex relationships. but no u get cringe written by a child #and now at the age of nearly 26 i am old and tired. christ thst was almost 10 years ago. i was a whole different human #weird the fanfics that stick with u. i have many i think abt from hs. wonder where the authors r now... #unrelated #i also forgot that in the authors nots i was like: if u r a n4zi fucking kill yourself. #which i standby but i was not expecting to see thst in the notes of a one piece fic i wrote as a kid good god

goddd botw makes me a little bit insane. link going through the story and meeting all of these people who use to know him. he doesn't remember. but they talk about him, "you used to train me!" "we were kids together" "I always looked up to you". they have lived a whole life while he's been asleep. he has not changed.

#is it obvious i just got to zoras domain. be honest #SORRY IT JUST REALLY GETS ME!!! #hearing so many people say how they trained with link when they were young and how he taught them and was always a mentor #how much they strove to be like him and now here they are #and it makes me claw at the walls thinking about link who doesn't remember them or any of what happened and who also is now #awake and at the same point he was 100 years ago #while everyone else has grown and aged and improved. maybe even surpassed what he taught them #but they will still view him in their minds eye as the person he was to them as a kid #and he still is!! that same person!!! but they aren't the same as they were #theyve changed while hes been stagnant sleeping unmoving #big 'you died and came back the same but the act of bringing u back has changed me irrevocably' vibes #and also like. i know the point of the game is that link is the hero and he's going to save the day #but god could you imagine waking up with no memory only to be told you died 100 years ago failing to save the world #and now you have to try again. the people who helped you died and arent coming back its just you #and despite how you failed the people of hyrule still revered you and so they are overjoyed to see you again #they are relieved they look at you with hope they talk about your success like its guaranteed like there is no other option #they dont doubt you. they put all their trust in you #but you don't even remember them. youve been asleep for 100 years. you dont even have your sword #sorry for writing a novel in the tags i just have a lot of feelings about this #like the prevalence of cycles & reincarnation in the franchise overall makes me froth at the mouth but the way it shows up in botw!!! MAN!! #loz #botw #k rambles

[totally-not-jackie]

i love 2001. it's my favourite film. however, i wish that literally anyone but stanley kubrick directed it. fuck that guy.

#his adaptations are legitimately so good #every one of them #except lolita #but i am so glad that guy died 25 years ago #fuck stanley kubrick and what he did to shelley duvall #i've heard so many horror stories out of that set #but like #2001 is so fucking good #complicated feelings #2001 a space odyssey #stanley kubrick #the magic eye

Considering how barren canon titan army content has been pretty much since tlo I know this isn't likely but Rick did say that an underutilised male character was going to make an appearance in the Solangelo book and it could totally be Ethan. The whole thing about Iapetus being dragged out of Tartarus in the Sword of Hades happened because of Ethan. He was the one who stole the sword and used it to get Iapetus/bob. He was the catalyst for it and now he's dead so he has a reason to be involved in underworld stuff. Rick and Mark would not need to stretch things too far to get an excuse for him being there and his addition would thematically tie the book back to the abandoned themes that were so important in the og books.

(Also Nemesis is a chthonic goddess with ties to the underworld so Ethan is technically an underworld kid. Let him have his nepo baby moment.)

#pjo #percy jackson #ethan nakamura #tsats #he could have so many complicated attitudes towards Iapetus/bob #so many things to explore #i also have this little au #where ethan and some other ta demigods #need to get like #jobs or something in the underworld #to pay off their ta shit #and Ethan just shows up to tartarus #with a little clipboard and a tie #like 'mr Di Angelo I know your dad is my boss but you're not really allowed to be down here' #'but we need to save Iapetus from Tartarus!' #' . . . bitch I did that years ago.'

i read through Everything about the au thus far and i gottsa ask.... what is UP with the WITHER CULT!!!!!!!

HI sorry I just woke up. Cracks knuckles. SO the Wither Cult is actually something that's been around throughout generations technically with different intents and different methods, but when I refer to it I do typically mean the most recent iteration with White Eyes, which is a very.. interesting situation. When White Eyes originally got out of the destroyed remains of the kingdom, there were other survivors, and her stoic attitude and mangled appearance made her somewhat of a legend within the small lasting communities. Seeing someone that should have been dead walking (sometimes with a similarly undead horse) among the living with glowing white eyes lead to a lot of theories, one of the most common being that she was a prophet of some sort, touched by the god of death and living to tell the tale. (Also in part with her modern nickname) Due to this, a lot of people ended up following in her footsteps to create a safe haven within the dark oak woods just before the mountains. This is never something she asked of them, she never asked anything, but still somehow everything would fall into place. People will do anything to cling on to a semblance of hope. Survivors and their descendants have come from all over the larger surrounding areas over the years to seek shelter, expanding the hideaway into the woodland mansion with time as we know it today throughout the years. It's entirely self-sufficient, and everyone there is offered equal footing in terms of having free bedding, never having to worry about a meal, and of course the shelter itself. There are few conditions otherwise, but overall your best bet is just not to stray from the name of the beast.

#minecraft #minecraft au mastertag #White Eyes is TECHNICALLY the leader but she doesn't do a lot other than keep everything in order and organize the outpost searches #to add context to that #the wither disappeared years ago. no one knows if its still out there somewhere #or if it died off long ago #and that's what the outposts are for. to document areas outside of that as well since the world is changing #(thats also how she eventually found out about Groda still being alive) #the cult is honestly pretty divided on actually beliefs. a lot of people follow white eyes. a lot of people worship the wither itself. #many of them believe in none of this after many generations and keep their mouths shut so they can have proper shelter with little in retur #(like Stephen who was born into the cult and doesnt follow any of the belief systems. but does believe in White Eyes as a person) #(he's one of the gardeners/farmers of the mansion but he does wish he could leave... wink) #White Eyes doesn't believe in any of this herself obviously #but under the influence of the Wither its just better not to try and fight it #...until her emotions get the better of her once she finds out Groda is still alive and goes after her herself

I found myself watching the new live action ATLA and I was like omg this is such great set up for Zutara and their future dynamic !!!!!

And I got so caught up in the euphoria of my own Zutara thoughts that for like a minute I fully gaslit myself into believing that Zutara actually did happen and the live action was sowing the seeds for that relationship

#this show is just bringing up so many avatar headcanons #aang making up shit about 100 years ago #Zuko in season 3 seeing katara blood bend and being like oh my fucking god I could have died #atla #live action atla #ALSO IF YOU MUST KNOW WHAT PROMPTED THIS THOUGHT WASNT EVEN A ZUKO AND KATARA MOMENT IT WAS ME BEING LIZARD BRAIN SHIP GIRLIE #it was literally jet being an ass and then the next scene was Zuko being a dork looking for iroh and I was like #omg he’s gonna have so much growth and be the best man for katara ! unlike jet (rip) #and then I was like yo wtf why did I think that

i think yuzu deserves a little murder. as a treat.

#bleach #kurosaki yuzu #this is about isshin: the man who decided that the best way to “teach” his son was to hit him when he least expected it. #I know bleach intends it to be funny slapstick but it really really isn't. isshin starts hitting his kid when he's NINE YEARS OLD. #and isshin is hitting ichigo as hard as he can. he's kicking him awake. this is not an environment a child can SURVIVE in much less an adul #it only takes one mistake for ichigo to get hurt irreparably. how many times has ichigo fallen over and hit his head? Got a concussion? #sprained or broken his bones? there is no world in which ichigo and his sisters who are WATCHING and unable to stop this #feel safe in isshin's house or with isshin. #the moment that isshin first hits ichigo is the moment that all three of them are orphaned. that's the moment where their father dies #and ichigo is the one who picks up the slack. he's the one who parents his siblings. Masaki dying destroys ichigo's childhood but #the first time isshin hits him is the moment that ichigo the child dies. #and imagine you're yuzu. you're yuzu who can't remember your mother and the word 'parent' makes you think of your older brother #and there's a man in your house. he's loud. he laughs a lot. and he hits your brother-parent without his smile budging an inch. #you can't remember your father but this is not him. he's dead. he died years ago. #There's a man in your house. And he's killing your brother. One day he's going to actually kill him. #so you have a choice: your brother or the man in your house. #it is a very easy choice #tw abuse #my posts

[cammie]

maybe the extreme isolation of the characters in my writing is a reflection of the isolation and loneliness and alienation and lack of friends/family that i feel in my own life. who’s to say really

#cammie.txt #who up reading their grandparents obituaries and looking at pictures of their dead father #for reasons i don’t feel compelled to air to the entire internet my mom is like an actual stranger to me i did not grow up with her at all #i don’t know her side of my family and most of them i haven’t been around since i was in kindergarten #my aunt (dad’s sister) and cousins (her 2 kids) don’t speak to me or my siblings and haven’t since my grandma died like 20 years ago #i met my aunt once as a baby. my sister didn’t invite her to our dad’s funeral. her only brother’s funeral #plus my dad was old. his parents were old. #sometimes i think about how my grandma had 5 siblings in new york but her family literally disowned her and #i don’t know anything about them. gawd #my dad also didn’t talk about his parents or his sister at all. once told me he considered his step-siblings (the 3 kids of his dad’s second #wife) more like siblings than his own little sister. WTF? no explanation on that marty? #sometimes i get so upset that he’s dead and i can’t talk to him anymore. i have so many questions!!!!
