I've seen people joke that Priest made Tai Sui gen so she wouldn't have to write BL with a "bad" ending but I'm actually convinced that along with xianxia tropes, Tai Sui is knowingly responding to romance tropes too.

Oh no I'm thinking about Tai Sui again

I haven't yet managed to take any of the @nbssboston.bsky.social workshops (full day workshops are impractical for me) but their open house is this Friday/Saturday and I'm excited to go!

I did the holiday love meme thing! gdgdbaby.dreamwidth.org/314179.html?...

I made a simple bookbinding press with a hand screw clamp kit! It's not fancy but it was cheap!

Let me take this opportunity to recommend The Imperial Uncle

On the one hand, the fact that I've been not that interested in reading fic lately has had me wondering what that means for a bookbinding hobby (and bookbinding community) that I came to via fic.

Memphis is experiencing gestapo-style raids 24/7 now. Our local media is failing us and the national media is ignoring this black/blue/incredibly poor city in a red state. I guess we just aren’t as sexy as LA or Portland.

Our very KPDH halloween

Got a halloween comment on my spookiest fic, nice archiveofourown.org/works/27326941 (in which Lan Sizhui is possessed by Wei Wuxian, and this does not go well for anyone)

Wow, this is making a huge difference!

WIP. 7yo definitely picked the one with the coolest weapon.

I remember a decade ago or so on tumblr various discourse about girl heroes never being marketed towards boys and I just want to say. I have heard tell of multiple boys planning to cosplay Rumi KPDH for halloween this year. That's progress.

KPDH costumes continue. 7yo picked the most complicated of all of Mira's outfits; we are simplifying it (wear this skirt and spike bracelets over plain black clothes).

New #SevenSeasDanmei cover reveal! ✨ COPPER COINS: TONG QIAN KAN SHI (NOVEL) Vol. 3, the finale to the #danmei adventure set in ancient China by Mu Su Li—cover art by Porridge + interior art by DALO! #CopperCoins Out in English April 2026—pre-order now! sevenseasentertainment.com/books/copper...

we have purchased our tickets for the KPDH sing along and will be attending in full cosplay :D

Done with the sewing on this one (I'll be adding some black texturing with paint later). I will not miss the shedding.

完成

Absolutely terrible pattern grading: the sleeve on this top is only an inch and a half longer for the size 8 than for the size 3. These are children's sizes. They correspond to age, in theory. An eight year old's arm should be a lot more than an inch and a half longer than a three year old's.

5yo has drawn his first fan art 😁 (Jinu Kpop Demon Hunters)

the preferred term last time i checked is dualsex, for those who want another tag but just don't know what to use!

But I did bind all of Langya Bang (Nirvana in Fire) and send it to someone. #fanbinding #bookbinding

Stolen from an Animorphs Facebook group.

I may have just committed myself to making a glowing guandao for halloween this year

Consequences of KPop Demon Hunters: a five year old boy yells "I don't think you're ready for the TAKEDOWN" at me whenever he doesn't want to brush his teeth

Babies born during the pandemic shutdown are starting kindergarten today

Finally made myself do some art instead of talking myself out of starting. Wanted to make a user icon for a roleplaying server. I'm loosely roleplaying as the character Yin Ren (from the story "Evil As Humans" written by Nian Zhong). Drawn with marker and overpainted in Krita after scanning.

I have access to an 8-harness loom this week and I am GOING to take advantage of it

This is so funny to me (positive). There are (presumably; idk what the maybe-cyberpunk vikings or holy roman empire or whatever is up to) none of the same cultural forces that led to the adoption of western suits in actual history. It's just another Cool Thing From The Future, I guess

valid pettiness tbh lol

i don't fuck with body horror but i know enough about the movie together to know somebody better be writing wangxian about it

This is what I decided to typeset over my vacation ... one of MDZS's most notorious fanfics, in tiny book form. Unfortunately, the tags filled up all the pages and there was no room for the fic itself! What a shame.

Currently quite popular in China are tiny collector's editions of classic works adapted as lianhuanhua (early form of Chinese comics). #books

I understand that the sewing community needs to have a gender-neutral term for people who sew, but I will die on the hill that "sewist" sounds dumb

journalists are always trying to make articles that divide people into D&D-like classes with set attributes. Gen Z has -1 alcohol enjoyment. Millennials have advantage on any checks made to destroy an industry. Gen Alpha has proficiency with skibidi toilets.

My cnovel bookbinding exchange partner received these today, so I can share them publicly now! Item #2: How Dare You!? / This Is Ridiculous, which is a transmigration-into-a-transmigration-novel-novel, which inspired the cover design of three covers in one. #bookbinding

My cnovel bookbinding exchange partner received these today, so I can share them publicly now! Item #1: The Imperial Uncle, in two small volumes, bound in brocade bookcloth with a flexible bamboo-strip spine and a matching slipcase. #bookbinding

okay i wrote some custom css for fanfic ported from ao3 as html files to indie website hosting (like neocities)! this will make your fic prettier than the default, and easily customizable in terms of appearance. it's also mobile/tablet responsive! details & installation: kingdra.net/fan/ao3css

[old-timey ad announcer voice] Did you know that adding blanket permission to your ao3 profile makes it more likely that someone will choose to podfic your work? It's true! Add blanket permission today!!!! More info: www.tumblr.com/keriarentika...
