They Should Invent A Grief That Doesn’t Define You In New And Strange Ways For The Rest Of Your Life

This one really popped off on Twitter …

Finding my mother’s sugar daddy’s tumblr with a handful of furry drawings on it was easily the worst thing I’ve done in my life

If it’s not in ao3 and everyone understands what your saying than no, your good.

This.

Do you have any recommendations on how to learn bookbinding? It looks super cool, but I don't know where to start.

It depends on the type of bookbinding you want to get into, my focus is primarily on hardcover case bound books, so if that is what you are keen on, here are some resources that I found incredibly useful while learning:

YouTube

DAS bookbinding has a whole bunch of really detailed, professional tutorials that are incredibly useful. He covers multiple types of binds and techniques and they are all very easy to follow. (I always laugh when I watch his videos tho because he’s Aussie like me and he has the EXACT same shitty tiles in his workroom that I have in my house.)

Sea Lemon does bookbinding amongst other crafts, and while her videos are shorter and less in depth, they are very friendly for beginners and offer alternatives if you don’t have all the tools/equipment at home

Omgreylo is great for if you are doing fanbinding, she also has videos on typesetting, which is something you’ll want to learn too if you are planning on fanbinding. Her videos are also very chill and sometimes I’ll just watch them to relax because I’m a nerd.

Ingenious Designs has some really good videos on some more advanced skills like edge gilding and working with leather bound books. He’s also really charismatic so his videos are fun and informative.

I’m probably forgetting a few, but those channels have all been super useful. The other thing that I do and highly recommend is just browsing the bookbinding and fanbinding tags on tumblr, reddit and instagram to see what other people are doing. A lot of people (including myself when I finally remember to actually take pictures and record the process) will post progress photos alongside the finished project and will talk about the process. Most people are quite happy to answer any questions you might have about their projects too so don’t be afraid to ask.

Also the most important piece of advice I can give, if you are serious about bookbinding, GET YOURSELF SOME SHORT-GRAIN PAPER. It makes all the difference in terms of quality, ease of use, and durability.

Anyways if anyone else has any other resources or tips they think are useful, please feel free to add!

As you can see Stone is coping in a totally normal and healthy way.

So...did u get deja vu?

East blue polycule you are so very dear to me…..

Hi hi hi hi

Hellllllo

Hi

Have a ramble because ahhhhhhh

I was explain Stobotnik to a friend (I explain some weird stuff to this friend

We got as far as Stone being left in the mean bean in S2.

Their thought when i said that Stone got left behind or otherwise he'd have to sit in someones lap was:

Why didn't Agent Stone sit down first then have Knuckles put in his lap they buckle them both up like that

And the mental picture killed me so please, have this idea because I need to inform someone of this omg

Sounds like a good plan
