#terzo gets too much chaotic goofball energy put on him all the time

Arts And Crafts Headcanons

i’ve been doing a lot of crocheting lately, and thinking about what kind of crafts the papas might enjoy :)

Nihil

Used to be very good at sewing!

In the early days of the band, he did a lot of work modifying and tailoring clothes for everyone.

A lot of repairs too. Replacing shit is expensive.

He mostly added fur trims, embellishments, and even embroidered grucifixes by hand.

He was too early for diy punk/goth fashion, but he would have been into that, I think.

He’s got arthritis  in his hands now, so he really can’t sew anymore.

BUT... he’ll put up with the pain to teach you some basics if you want. It makes him happy that you asked him instead of The Google. :)

He’s not mean about it, but he WILL tell you when something you made looks bad. He’ll give you tips for how to fix it or do it better next time.

Primo

This is the guy who crochets. 100%.

Exclusively uses wool and cotton yarns. He doesn’t like the feel of acrylic.

He can crank out a hat in 2 hours, the man is QUICK.

Damn near every Sibling who’s been in the abbey more than a month or so has a hat, or a scarf, or a pair of socks crocheted by Primo.

He has some mysterious way of knowing everyone’s favorite colors.

For very special gifts, he will go out of his way and even spin the yarn himself.

If you receive a gift that looks like no other... That’s a sign.

He’s ALWAYS happy to teach anyone who wants to learn! He’s very patient and supportive.

If you mess up, he’ll encourage you to continue anyway and keep the mistakes. It gives the piece character, he says. And if you don’t want to look at it anymore when you’re done, he’ll happy take it. He has a collection of Siblings’ first projects.

Secondo

Drawing and painting.

Watercolors are his preferred painting medium, and colored pencils for drawing.

He took classes in his youth, and ended up sticking with realism

He mostly likes to draw and paint people, just in candid everyday poses. He’s got a photographic memory for anything that catches his eye.

If anyone asks him to draw them, that’s pretty much a lifetime ban. He doesn’t take requests.

He’s the type that enjoys the process, not the product. If he ends up drawing or painting you, he’ll offer the finished piece to you, but if you don’t want it, it’s going right in the trash.

Very rarely does he ask anyone to actually model for him. That’s your clue that you’re special to him.

Doesn’t like teaching people. He’s brutally honest and WILL roast your horrible foreshortening.

Terzo

He’s a surprisingly good baker!

Actually, he’s a great cook in general, but baking is his favorite.

The kitchen is a warzone anytime a new season of GBBO comes out.

He has a terrible hobby of “playing along” with the competition each week, in the same time constraints. He and Secondo get in a fight over it EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

He likes to experiment with flavors, but doesn’t have much intuition for what could reasonably work together. He insisted on trying white chocolate and salmon croissants before admitting that it was a terrible idea.

There’s always something sweet in the kitchen, and he makes a cake for every Sibling’s birthday.

Food is 100% his love language, and he will go out of his way to cook every single meal for his Special Someone if they let him. Hell, he’ll feed it to you.

Anyone who walks into the kitchen while he’s cooking is getting a lesson. Get this man a Food Network show. He talks to himself and narrates even if nobody’s there.

Copia

Very much a “jack of all trades, master of none”.

Please take Pinterest away from this man, for fuck’s sake.

He spends so much money on viral craft trends, only to get bored and abandon them.

He ALSO enjoys the process far more than the finished product, but mostly because he’s constantly doing things for the first time, and they don’t turn out how he hoped.

HOWEVER, he is very good at improvisation and multi-media projects. He’ll often come back to old “failures” and add something else to them.

He pays close attention to what everyone else is doing. He’s always happy to give away unused craft supplies and tools.

His “special gift” is to spend time with you and just work on projects together!

He’s not skilled enough in any given medium to really teach anything, but he has a lot of weird, unconventional tips for just about everything.
