you can nalbind/loop a square, but the question is why.
I thought I had answered this by wanting to make a sweater out of squares, but you know, with nalbinding instead of knitting or crochet, because that's the only needlework of this kind my monkey of a brain has ever been able to grasp since i was fuckin thirteen and trying to work out how you do this when the only proper instructions available to me online assumed i already understood the basics of nalbinding and notation, etc.
but no.
no, you don't understand
it took me between three and four hours to finish off one fuckin square yesterday. it is ridiculous. an incredibly loose oslo stitch too!! one to one connections!! but that fucker took hours to get done!!
and yeah, nalbinding does take an approximate forever, that's what happens when you're nalbinding, especially if you're working with shit acrylic yarn that you have to do russian joins with every ten minutes, and especially if you have, again, an absolute monkey brain like i do, and can and will lose focus at the drop of a hat.
anyways, the squares are now officially going to be pockets, and i am going to do a mammen stitch with proper tension and just make a sweater the usual way, which might also take an approximate forever, but at least i'm not going to have to deal with the sudden realization that i dropped a stitch at the edge and now have to go back, or realize i didn't twist the edge stitch properly and yup, you guessed it, its time to unpick that work too!!!
no no no, now i get to deal with trying to math out how many stitches to take in at the shoulders. yippe ki yay! ough.

Fluent Freshman - Part 42
PREV
There are things that change a person.
Moments where after they happen they simply cannot un-happen. Things that a person hears that they cannot un-hear. Promises that a person makes that they can’t, and perhaps even wouldn’t, un-make.
Jeremy’s moment came over winter break the previous year. Jeremy heard things that he could never un-hear in the middle of the night. Jeremy made a promise that he would never break while in the guest room of his parent’s house holding one Jean Moreau tight as he talked about the Nest.
Jeremy was different after that night.
Not wildly different. Not to most.
The only ones who knew had also had a moment, had also heard things, and had also made promises that they intended to keep.
Jeremy is on his way back from the bathroom with a freshly washed handkerchief from the Fox’s most promising Freshman when it all happens. 
He watches Richard throw a glass on the ground and go for Caleb’s throat which in all honesty he had been anticipating since he’d seen the seating arrangements. Sitting the Jackals with the Terrapins? After Caleb seduced Alyssa during the Fall Banquet? Who thought that was a good idea?
Jeremy sees FF and sees that he is alone and wonders where Michael had gone off to. He’s glad that FF has stayed put, the guys quiet but he’s not bad company. Jeremy thinks he would have gotten along pretty well with Jean if he hadn’t flubbed the recruitment.
“He just got a restraining order against that step-brother of his.” Aaron Minyard says explaining the awkward air after Jeremy had spoken. “He’s a Fox.” he adds and Jeremy had felt foolish in that moment.
It should have been obvious.
He hears a scream and sees that one of the Terrapins has joined in the brawl and he has one of the steak knives.
What was the point of that when they had pre-sliced tenderloin anyways? He looks over and sees Anita Flores watching the evening start to go down in flames and all he can think is that she’ll probably do better next time. It’s the first banquet she’s run on her own since Claire retired in the fall.
His eyes go to Jean when he hears another scream.
He can see Laila with Jean and Kevin. He can see Alvarez making her way to the two of them. The Trojans know better after last Winter Banquet. They come together and don’t make it obvious that Jean is at the center of their formation.
He sees Melissa get punched when she tries to get between Richard and Caleb. He’s sure she probably just doesn’t like having this kind of violence at her stadium but getting directly between Richard and Caleb wasn’t her smartest move.
Oh Jacob took exception to that. Well Jeremy can hardly blame the guy when his girlfriend and Captain gets punched like that. Caleb’s just lucky that she’s not dating Malcolm any-
Oh Malcolm is getting in on it. I guess he does still have feelings for Melissa. They had been real cute until he cheated on her. He thinks Melissa is better off with Jacob but who knows.
He looks to Jean again and sees that Kevin is leaving the Trojan encirclement and can see the other Foxes start to head for the exit as the fighting grows more intense. He sees Andrew holding Neil’s hand in a vice grip and-
Oh, of course they’d be anxious here. Of course the Foxes were on edge.
He looks and FF is still sat at the table seemingly unbothered by the chaos erupting around him. He watches as the Foxes make their way to the table where FF is sat. Sees them gathering their belongings and sees FF remain seated, eyes on them and then on the chaos.
Ah, the rearguard.
He nods and diverts his attention back to the mess at hand. Honestly Caleb shouldn’t bait Richard and Richard should be glad that he didn’t propose to someone who’d cheat on him. They’d talked about it and it wasn’t like he had customized the ring or anything so he got his full deposit back. He thought Richard was feeling better about the whole thing, had even been dating Erika and-
Ohh yeah there’s Erika with a Terrapin’s jacket over her shoulders and a hickey that he’s pretty sure Richard hadn’t left on her neck.
Man Caleb what the hell, what did Richard even do? Caleb you don’t even like girl-
Ohhhh.
Caleb….bro. There are better ways to handle a crush.
Now fully understanding the situation Jeremy can’t help but think that it’s actually a pretty simple solution. Well, not simple. Richard is pretty straight but like a firm talking to with Caleb will probably-
“Hey, back off!” He hears Alvarez and his head whips around back to Jean where it shouldn’t have left.
Ravens.
Those Ravens.
Jeremy made a promise.
Jeremy had taken lessons over the summer and-
God it felt good to slam his fist into Johnson’s stupid awful ugly chin. The only thing that was even sweeter was sinking his fist into Reacher’s gut.
“Knox what the fuck?!” he heard Jasmine exclaim and they’d been buddies at one point but it was hard to feel anything positive for a girl who watched.
“I warned you guys during the Fall Banquet didn’t I?” Jeremy asks with a smile as he shakes out his hand. He looks to the side and sees that the rest of the team has now fully encircled Jean. Nothing was getting through them to-
It’s too late that Jeremy sees a younger Raven meatball in hand. He tries to stop it but his arms are too short and it nails Jean right in the forehead. 
He looks at the marinara roll down Jean’s forehead as he blinks in surprise. Laila lets out a scream and has him cradled in her arms and out of sight before Jean even seems to fully understand what is going on.
“Jean, it’s going to be okay.” Jeremy hears Laila assure.
“Laila, what in the world are you freaking out about?” Jean asks. “I’m French, not Italian. I would not bleed marinara sauce.” Jeremy hears him say out of sight and if Jeremy wasn’t so mad he’d laugh.
“That’s it!” Alvarez exclaims and slugs the sophomore who had lobbed the errant meatball and from there it was an all out brawl between the Trojans and the Ravens. They were all defensive over their frenchmen especially against his old team and Jeremy thinks about the investigation he’s been pushing the ERC towards. Thinks about all the little things he has questioned and put into the heads of all of his friends throughout the Division.
He makes his way to Jean as Ned and Jim have taken on the task of handling Reacher and Johnson.
“God, first the sparse wine selection and now this.” Jean says from where Laila was trying to wipe sauce from his face.
“Here, use this.” he offers FF’s handkerchief and thinks about getting a few himself.
Laila takes the handkerchief, “I thought you said there was a lot of wine.” she says.
“No, I said Kevin was doing a lot of whining.” Jean corrects eyes closed as Laila cleans his face off. Jeremy looks towards the Fox table and wonders how he’ll get the handkerchief back to FF and sees FF rising up from the table and quickly put on his jacket before heading out the door after the rest of the Foxes.
What bothers him is the security guards following them. Everyone should know that security guards + the Foxes + Binghamton = Andrew might start stabbing people.
His concern only grows greater when he sees Michael and a few other Ravens follow.
***
There are things that change a person.
Experiences that you never want to experience again. Words that can never be spoken again. Feelings that can never be carefully locked away not that they’re out in the open and known.
Andrew’s experience happened two years ago. Andrew had heard words that he never wished to hear again in his entire life for the last time in Binghamton. Andrew had felt things staring down at a cell phone that he had never let himself feel before.
He looks at Neil safe and sound on the bus after a different fight, a different riot, in Binghamton and it’s hard to be upset. He hadn’t let his Junkie out of his sight the entire night and the moment that he saw security moving in he had grabbed Neil by the hand. His focus had narrowed down at that moment and no amount of Neil insisting that it was fine would stop Andrew’s determined march out of the stadium.
He only felt like he could breathe when he had ushered Neil into the bus and into a seat. He felt his shoulders ease but he didn’t let go of Neil’s hand, he didn’t know if he would until they were back in Palmetto.
The rest of the team filtered out of the stadium quickly and soon enough Wymack was calling out to make sure that everyone was there. “Smith?” Wymack called.
“He’s right here!” a voice calls out and Andrew thinks it’s one of the other Freshmen.
“Let’s get out of here.” Wymack says.
The team gets on the bus and soon enough they’re putting Binghamton in the rearview.
Andrew exhales.
***
He’d heard Michael call out for him and he’d stopped. With all the distraction and the upcoming loading onto the bus he hadn’t felt the need to be exceptionally low presence.
It’d been a mistake as it usually was.
FF looked at the security guard standing in front of him and out the door to the stadium where the Foxes were loading into the bus.
“Will you meet the Master now?” Michael is asking him and FF doesn’t quite get why he’s asking when it’s obvious that FF doesn’t have a choice.
“No.” he says because Michael did ask which means theoretically he could just be misreading the situation.
“You said you’d meet him if the banquet ended.” Michael says.
FF furrows his brow, “I said I’d get up.” he reminds and Michael looks nervous.
“Please?” Michael asks and FF blinks.
“I need to get on the bus.” FF points and the security guard merely steps into his line of sight as if that erased the fact that the bus was there and he was not on it.
“We’ll get you back to where you belong.” Michael promises.
“I belong on the bus that is going back to my campus where I keep all my stuff.” FF says matter of factly.
Michael looks at him utterly bewildered.
“Enough of this.” The guard says and goes to grab him.
FF moves out of the way.
The guard goes to grab him again and FF backs up and out of the way again.
The guard goes to grab him and FF steps back out of his reach again.
This process continues until they are back into the main stadium where the brawl has taken over all of the teams. FF sidesteps the security guard, and he’s near positive this isn’t a real security guard Binghamton really needs to work on their hiring practices. Only this time he side steps out of the way and the guard crashes like an enranged bull into the punch table.
FF’d feel bad about it but there was no way in the world he was going to meet someone named ‘The Master’ when he has spaghetti pants. Absolutely no chance. Whoever it was probably was important enough to deserve dry clean only pants.
“I need to go.” he says to Michael and heads back for the exit, hopeful that maybe just maybe the bus hadn’t left yet. Nicky was pretty drunk though and he knew that the rest of the team would have a singular focus on Captain Neil.
“No, wait!” Michael pleads and FF stops seeing the other player with tears in his eyes. FF stops and unzips his jacket slightly to reach in and grab the handkerchief he had refolded as his pocket square.
“Sorry, I really can’t stay.” he says and offers the handkerchief to Michael, “You can keep that one or hand it to me the next time we play against one another if you remember.” he says. “Tonight isn’t the night for me to talk with your Master.” he says.
Michael looks at him with wide eyes and accepts the handkerchief.
He walks out back into the exiting hallway and there is an older asian man there. He has a cane and he is standing between FF and the door.
He approaches quickly and the man hits his cane against the ground once, “You will join the Ravens.” he says with authority.
Oh great.
“I'd actually rather not.” Smith responds and makes sure to keep a wide berth from the crazy old guy who’s made his way into the Stadium somehow.
He gets out the stadium doors and-
The bus left.
He sighs thinks about the crazy guy right behind him and lets his presence fade into something only Jeremy Knox could see (APPARENTLY).
It’s pretty cold out as he gets as far away from the entrance to the building as possible and reaches into his pocket for his phone. He dials Nicky.
***
“COACH, YOU FORGOT SMITHY. AGAIN.” A drunken shout from the back of the bus startles Wymack as he lets out a loud string of curses before getting into a lane to make a U-turn.

not to mention having to adjust to living with their siblings! I'm autistic and having people moving in/out of my space is a routine NIGHTMARE and I suspect Donnie won't even really attribute this to autism (if he's even diagnosed) so constantly getting stressed and frustrated and burnt out seemingly for no reason /nf
Oh lord yes. Living with this new family unit is gonna be a HUGE adjustment for everyone involved, and the Twins may have a particular challenge in that they are used to having SO much space! They both have huge master bedrooms and a whole floor to themselves, and like, sure, a lot of the 'privacy' they enjoyed was superficial and performative, but like... they didn't really have to care about being a 'good housemate' to anyone! It was just the pair of them and an entire hotel staff there to cater to their every whim!
And everyone involved is gonna be so fucking stressed out as a BASELINE. Donnie and Leo are in a new enviornment, they've left behind their mother, they're both going through significant health challenges, they have to SHARE THEIR SPACE for the first time ever and '''be considerate of others''' or whatever the fuck, plus they're trying to adjust to not having schedules or scripts or an audience or adoring fans?!?! AND THERE'S NO POOL?????

My favorite detail about Ekko
Ekko: i don't know if vi is on the level. Better hide my identity to show how cool and in control i am
Vi: Why are you wearing a mask? Are you too ugly
Ekko immediatly takes off his mask like: how dare you call me ugly - look at that beautiful face and weep!!!

mmmm all that talk of taking vitamins and stuff to make your tits nice and milky, what if they swelled up to the size like those pictures I showed you, nearly as big as your baby bump and fit to bursting with milk, so you need to pump /constantly/ (that is, whenever my hungry mouth isn't latched on to them, guzzling down that sweet cream because I don't want my angel to suffer.... Your tits would be so swollen and sensitive, you would have no choice but to wear nothing because even the softest fabric chafes, but my fingers and my tongue and lips and teeth bring (literally) sweet relief 😘
that would be a very big possibility since i am already big chested. i have also ( embarrassingly ) did a deep dive search on supplements and vitamins that are meant for lactation so i know the good ones. there are so many that do a bunch of different things and there are even supplements that you can mix together that garner even better results so we just have to find the best ones to work with my body!
also ( even more embarrassingly ) would want to start taking them before i get pregnant. the kink of having a big milky chest to play with before having a baby has had a chokehold on me for the last two years and i want to play to that fantasy 🫣🫣🫣🫣 and imagine how big i would be with milk already coming in, then growing even bigger once i fall pregnant and milk production becomes more intense so i am always having to bring pumps everywhere with me. people are amazed by my size, asking if i had gotten my chest done before getting pregnant. the look on their face when i tell them i'm all natural will be exhilarating!
well someone has to taste it to see how delicious it is but you can't take all of it. it's for the baby and all the other babies that i donate milk to so they can have milk. with all my production we would likely need a chest freezer or two....

Using this as an audio reference for the posts I'm making, but to summarize:
Yuri starts out mad.
Yuri tries to calm himself down with a deep breath to ask for details instead of going through it angry.
Flynn doesn't say "like a good knight" in the sense of putting himself down. He simply says "as a knight" (the tl here doesn't use that, but with that included it's basically along the lines of "even though I had doubts, as a knight, I was determined to follow my orders").
Once Yuri has answers he calms down significantly.
Yuri uses " 'ttaku", which is a shortened down version of "mattaku" (Yuri often shortens words and speaks very casually), which in this particular situation basically would mean "geez", or "good grief". In this manner, it's expressive of exasperation/frustration/etc.
Yuri never mentions that "Flynn told him what to do" like the dub does (because in fact Flynn did not ever tell Yuri what to do. He only gave Sodia and his other knights orders. He expressed his own desire to take responsibility, but never told Yuri and his friends what to do).
At this point you can tell the anger has gone out of him and that he's calmed down, now that Flynn is approaching this with admission and responsibility.
Sodia is asking that Flynn returns as soon as possible (I believe this was a general translation error).
Flynn's thank you to Yuri is tonally much more heartfelt.
Yuri's response and gratefulness at Flynn coming back to himself is tonally much more heartfelt, relieved and sincere.
#GTF Vesperia Clips#basically the dub version is littered with errors /and/ your regular resident angry dub Yuri#just to be clear on mattaku it can also mean ''completely'' ''totally'' ''seriously'' etc. it depends on the context#''yare yare'' is also used for ''geez'' and ''good grief'' but in a more sarcastic/casual way#''mattaku'' or in this case '' 'ttaku'' is more of a quiet expression of exasperation rather than smth you'd yell/shout when aggravated#it CAN sometimes be used like damn as a minor expletive but tbh I personally I wouldn't put it in this situation#bc his aggravation is lessening and they're getting to the point so I'd argue it's more just exhausted of the whole thing#but the dub took it a step further and used it as fuel against Flynn as they do mcfuckin' do#I'd say it's more ''damn it'' at the whole situation bc there's absolutely no reason at this point to say ''damn it Flynn''#esp bc that led into the dub having Yuri go at him accusing him of telling them what to do when he... literally did not#and did not even imply he was going to. it was just pulled from their asses and/bc Yuri never even said Flynn's name there#it's stuff like this where they add remove and change things always in stark opposite of Flynn's favor that riles me up :/#what I mean is that the dub changed Yuri's overall exasperation into smth accusatory when rly Yuri is like#stop trying to do this by yourself. it was never about oh woe is me how dare you tell us what to do#if he was directing a ''damn it'' at Flynn it STILL would not be bc ''he told them what to do''#it would STILL BE because Flynn was trying to take this responsibility fully onto himself#it's so irritating bc the dub will be spot on right on point with everything but then AS SOON as it's abt Flynn it's like#they start messing around with things and the tl is changed and yadda yadda until around late arc 2#it like lowkey comes across as enemy to ally instead of ally with a whole character arc#and the reason I legit feel like they did it on purpose is BECAUSE they can obviously tl correctly based on other areas of the game#but when Flynn is involved they tweak things if not just outright change the context (remember my Nordopolica post? yeahhhh)#how is that not on purpose? how is it that everything can be spot on for a chunk all at once#but then a certain char shows up and it's repeatedly inaccurate? repeatedly geared in a negative light that originally didn't even EXIST?#and then ofc they almost always use Yuri himself to reflect that negativity against Flynn which is a WHOLE other story/issue for me#it's like... say I wrote a neutral statement. someone comes along and tls with negative sounding additions. it's sort of like that#I'm not that good at explaining things/how I feel abt things but yeah I hope that makes sense#it's just like... I KNOW they can tl spot on so when I keep seeing them stick in all these things with/against Flynn it upsets me sm#it feels like they tl normally and then see Flynn and go oh hold on let's change that bc it's Flynn#and that's why it's so frustrating for me :/

next bit is when they go to get dessert
genuinely surprised and delighted by this scene? struggling to think of anything similar i've seen before, but prem calls ten out for something and ten just accepts it. doesn't storm out or get sulky or try to make some kind of defense, just. hears it, accepts it, and the date goes on
<prev ep 06 missing bit 💚 next ep 06 missing bit>

Way to push the narrative that Cas just doesn't feel anything at all and Dean feels all the emotions in the world because of course Dean is the only one who is allowed to feel anything and Cas is just an unfeeling autistic robot
if that was your takeaway from me saying that i don't think cas was pining because i don't think he was aware of what he was feeling, then that's a you problem.

Ha yeah the first thing I did when getting here was devour all the snippets and asks I could get my grubby hands on! But thanks I will probably be rereading them later.
Ahhh where to START? There's so much to say that they've all tripped over each other lmao. Hm.
Ooh right I'm so excited abt the axolotl reveal!! NGL I thought it would have been bills ex or something which also reminds me- are there any points in time that dipper gets jealous/possessive of bill?
Writing something with jealous/possessive Dipper is on my list of 'things to get to when I have some time', 'cause I'm also a fan of the concept! I'm pretty sure it's happened in canon, I just need to come up with the most Amusing Scenario to write a one-shot for it.
And have some time for said one-shot. Bill vs Bill is killing me here.
#Like I'm enjoying writing it but I wasn't kidding about it going over 10k#I'm hovering close to 9 and I'm approaching the end but it's gonna be a bit#Some of these sections have been really >:(#But I shall Persevere#As for Jealous Dipper well#Bill's a charming guy when he chooses to be to manipulate someone#There exists a scenario where he's trying to charm the pants off of someone (Metaphorically not sexily)#And Dipper knows it's all bullshit but he's just getting more and more on edge#Until he's finally like 'okay that's enough let's go'#Hauls Bill away#There exists also a scenario where someone catches wind of Bill's Ultimate Power Providing#And like traps him in a demon circle or something#Trying to make a deal to get what Dipper's getting#Bill all being like 'whoa there you are *not* my type'#'I already got a contract signed and there's a no-compete clause'#Not that this theoretical demon-power-pursuer gets what he's implying#Congrats Dipper you get to save the demon in.... well not distress. Bill's just bored and annoyed#But I bet he overhears some things that make him go like >:O#Someone trying to get MY husband??? They couldn't handle him anyway and Bill's not into them but#HOW DARE#Internally anyway Dipper wouldn't I think recognize the emotion as possessiveness#All he knows is that he's mad and it's not at Bill but really how does anyone think that bonding with Bill is a GOOD idea#Except for Dipper. Dipper gets all of it because he's smart and can handle it and Bill likes him and it goes *both* ways#BILL would absolutely see it for what it is and boy would he be amused

one thing that will always be funny to me about batfam is that jason is forever convinced that dick is bruce's favorite child while all of his siblings know for sure that bruce's favorite child is actually jason
some random reporter: who's your favorite child?
bruce: how DARE YOU imply that i play favorites, i love ALL of my children equally
dick, without missing a bit: oh he absolutely plays favorites, it was jason
tim: rest in peace
