Thank you all so much for being a positive presence in my 2023 🥺 i had no idea what a tightknit, supportive and amazing community i would become a part of when I first shared a sketch of käärijä back in may

You are all so wonderfully embracing and talented (and gorgeous) as heck 😭 meeting some of you at the europe tour seems so surreal 😱

Here's to a great 2024 to everyone - hope for all the best for each of my kääryleet and baby boos (and people who have been here even longer as well) 🤗💚❤️

Would you mind making a text tutorial for dyeing with onion skin? I want to use up all the skin i collected but i don't trust the tutorials i found so fahr. 😅

Sure ! I don't know how helpful it'll be (I am not the best note taker of all time) but I'll give it a shot.

I don't tend to measure things, so I usually just do all my onion skins (4 or 5 big handfuls) with however much yarn I want to dye (usually around 100 grams, iirc) and end up with saturated colors and lots of extra dye bath. However, a 3 to 1 ratio of wool to onion skin (by weight) should work well.

Put your onion skins in your dyepot with water (I always use yellow, if you use another kind of onion you will get different colors of course). I haven't found the ratio of water to onion skin to matter very much, just make sure you have a lot so that it doesn't all boil off. Bring to a low simmer and let it cook until the skins are almost colorless and the dyebath is richly colored. If the skins are translucent before the dyebath has good color, just keep cooking the dyebath down until it looks good. Typically I end up with a deep red at this point.

Remove the onion skins--I like to strain the dyebath into a large dedicated bowl to remove the skins, but you can also pick them out with tongs.

Mordant your wool. Usually I give mine a copper bath, but the type of mordant you choose should depend on what color you want.

Once the wool is mordanted, return it and the dye bath to your dyepot and gently simmer with a lid until your wool is a good color. This should take several hours, and possibly overnight. For overnight dyeing, it's safest to turn the stove down until it is no longer simmering, and keep a lid on. My way of testing this is to use tongs to lift some wool up, pull off a lock, gently rinse it, and let it dry near the stove for a few minutes. If you've reached the color you want and still have lots of color left in the dyebath, just reserve the dyebath and once it's cool it can be stored in water bottles in a pantry for at least a year (that's how long I've left some dye bottles sitting around, and they worked very well).

Modify your color if you want. Then rinse in water the same temperature as your dyebath until it runs clear. Let dry.

Some colors you can get, depending on mordant (this is all for yellow onion skins specifically, as that is the only type of onion I buy).

With no mordant, or with vinegar: wheat-colored

With baking soda mordant: gold

With iron mordant: greyish green

With copper mordant: olive green

With alum mordant: bright yellow

If overdyeing a light color (in my case it was light brown), you can get a rich brown if mordanted with copper and iron.

Can't wait to see what colors you get :D

#natural dyeing #onion skins #i know you don't need safety info or basic dyeing procedure stuff but i worry sometimes #that other ppl with no experience will follow the tutorials i write for ppl who have lots of experience #and then poison themself or something so i just always put in at least a mention of safety stuff #anyway good luck ! onion skin is my favorite natural dye material bc it does not smell like death when cooking

For the wing au, since male and female birds are usually differently colored, do you think some trans people dye their wings to better reflect their gender? I. Have been thinking about this for too long.

you are SO right anon have I not talked about this before??? shame on me I've thought abt this SO MUCH

yes, yes, there's plenty of dyes out there, and especially some who sell more natural-looking dyes. some are made to already mimic more intricate patterns, others have tutorials on how to perfect dyeing certain markings. not everyone chooses for natural colors, of course, and some just go for any bold colors they like, or will put in the colors reflecting their gender, but enunciate them to a purposeful degree to be eye-catching. there's all kinds!

fake feathers also exist. usually placed in-between preexisting feathers, usually to make them look prettier, even if they're uncomfortable. for birds with significant difference in feather length, particularly with tails, these are sold in high abundance. tails can either be straps attached to a person and lain overtop their tails to make it look different/longer, or the feathers are treated much like regular fake ones. for those who want shorter feathers, there's illusion magic or simply snipping them shorter and then overlaying it with other tail colors

trans hunter rights, he dyes his feathers red a lot. luckily female cardinals have a decent number of their own red feathers, so he's not dyeing all his feathers

Oh man luck swap is so cool! If this isn’t too spoilery, is there a reason all the characters names changed in Aubrey’s headspace or is it just for fun?

Thank you so much!! OKORU’s friends actually don’t just have different names—they’re meant to be different PEOPLE altogether! Although obviously based around her old real life friends, the dream gang have more differences than just their names :)

The thing that tends to bother me about OMORI swap AUs is that they feel? Out of character,,, of course not all of them are like this and just because it feels ooc to me doesn’t mean it’s not good! Some people pull it off really well! However, I really wanted to try my hand at making a swap au that still keeps the character’s established personalities and reactions to trauma!

That was all a very boring way to say that Aubrey’s reaction to her trauma in canon is to replace her friends with new ones, and that’s exactly what she’s done here. She feels too guilty to face her old friends, and hates herself, so the logical solution is to replace everyone!

She also just thinks that Basil deserved better friends.

#Luck Swap #OMORI #omori au #I will admit that this is the reason I’m not really a big fan of omari… #The version where basil dyes his hair black anyway #Ive seen some other versions of omari that look really good though!! #Sorry I dont mean to be rude or anything aufshdgjddg #Ooc aus aren’t bad content at all they’re just not for me #Usually

     He hadn't meant to stare. He just hadn't noticed until right then and it's kind of hard not to stare. He's seen scars before; he's helped manage Snake's, bandaged up Raiden a few times, and he's got some of his own. But none of them are missing a body part.      And when Seven realizes he's staring, ❝Gyah! Sorry!❞ he immediately grabs the tablet pen he'd been reaching for and looks away, back to his screen, feeling awful about being rude. He'll just go back to his modeling program now. Awkward...      Except Seven actually brings it up? Invites his curiosity? That was unexpected. He's used to Snake and Raiden shutting him down when he asks about injuries he wasn't there for. Snake opens up sometimes but it's not common enough for Otacon to expect it, let alone from others.      Yes, he is wondering what happened, and he sits up straighter when Seven keeps going.      And the story, what little Seven is willing to share, is impressive.

     ❝You're braver than me.❞ It slips out before he can catch himself. But it's the truth. Or at least, back at Shadow Moses. He'd withheld information on REX form Liquid out of suspicion, but one talk with Ocelot and he'd spilled it all. And Ocelot had only threatened, nothing more. Then when the ninja had him at swordpoint, his life for answers, he'd been a coward. Sure, he didn't actually have answers, and he'd expressed as much, but he knows he would've given them if he did.      He'd like to think he's better now. That he too wouldn't talk no matter what his captors did. After all he'd do anything to protect the people he cares about. He conquered his fear of heights for Snake. But... he's not sure he'd hold out through losing a body part, even one as small as a finger. He'd like to think he would, but... Well hopefully he'll never have to learn the answer.      He reaches back toward Seven's hand, a muffled snort at the joke and teasingly replying, ❝Sometimes it's too bad we aren't part starfish.❞ as he threads his fingers between Seven's. Curiosity has the better of him for the moment, but after just a second or two he quickly pulls back, flushing a faint pink as he tries to cover for the slip-up with the question that had prompted the gesture in the first place; ❝So, uh, h-how long did it take you to relearn typing? You're pretty fast. I wouldn't have guessed.❞

#adoranoia #{{ i raise my flag and dye my clothes; it's a revolution i suppose | THREADS: OTACON }} #Otacon V { Main } save the world and good luck #injury tw #//Yikes. Definitely brave. I did see the missing finger on your scar sheet but I didn't recall the context so thank you ^v^ #//Otacon isn't usually the touchy-feely type but he was really curious and Seven enabled it. #//And now look at him putting his foot in his mouth xD Dork. #//I love these two <3

#so we had a yard sale yesterday #and I met the coolest lady ever #like I loved the way she dressed #a very fashionable hippie #she bought a crochet purse from me and asked if we could do a blessing ceremony which was cool #she gave me a dollar extra more than what I asked for it and asked me to put it in for good luck #and a little while later she came back and gifted me her purse #and like I love hippie clothing #I wear tie dye and patchwork stuff when I’m not dressed like a beach bum or a witch #and I’ve been looking for a patchwork purse for forever but haven’t found any I like #and the one she gave me was perfect???? #it was stonewash black with pastel slashed on the patchwork on the sides #muted rainbow fringe on the bottom #and a brown owl stitched in the middle #also it smelled so good???? like caramel coffee??? #I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who had such good and cool vibes #like lady I hope I can be cool as you one day #you were rad as fuck #I had some old plushies I was selling so I gave them away everytime I saw a kid looking at them #trying to pass the kindness forward
