Ficbinding: The Exorcism of Lan Yuan by EHyde

Lan Yuan has been possessed for as long as he can remember. Surely, when he finally tells Hanguang-jun, his father will keep him safe?

I've been bookbinding for 2+ years and this is my first binding of my own work! Ignore the unfortunate glue stain on the front cover

Since this is my own fic I can be as self-indulgent as I want. I did a hardcover B6 size book even though the fic is only 5k. I made a title page in six layers of translucent paper, with one more word on each layer, so that at first look, the name "Lan Yuan" is almost completely faded away. Rather than place the title on the cover, I made a cutout window with one more additional translucent layer.

The cover fabric is shot dupioni, blue that shifts to red when seen at an angle. I also made red endbands. The typeset itself is minimal, with wide margins, set in Coelacanth (one of my favorite text fonts).

#fanbinding #book binding #the vellum paper is so cool what a fucking awesome idea #fandom

i think we should stop calling them baby names so people remember they’re not just naming a baby but also a future twenty seven year old with a resume

I have a late start at work today which is very nice and all but unfortunately for me once you get rid of the 7am adrenaline fuelled exit from the home I just think. hm. what actually is the point why do I not just have the whole day off. it’s basically afternoon.

#yes I understand how silly this is when I am going in at 9 or 9:30 which is when a lot of people start working #I am just used to my 7am chaos this is much too calm and controlled for me #also like #I’d love an extra day off ok #today is a very chill day in terms of work I have to do but that just makes me think the day off is a better idea #anyway the plan is to clean my classroom #(which will be fine bc I have podcasts but ugh the classroom is a mess) #(but also me and my hands and my knees are not too enthused with the idea of cleaning the absolute fuckin chaos that is my classroom) #do the couple hours of parent facing stuff that needs to be done #and then i can. plan lessons or whatever #honestly a very chill day I just wanted an excuse to complain in the tags #facing the consequences (piles and piles and piles of unlabelled papers) of my actions (never throwing away my worksheets and not sorting) #tragic tbh #text post #my post

The majority of RT will be saved by community archive efforts.

The only reason you can read all of Homestuck is because two(?) people built a program to allow you to experience it, all online versions are broken or compromised and will only become more so with time.

Spec Ops: The Line, one of the most important games (even if nowadays it seems trite), is no longer legally available to purchase and can only be pirated.

The Nintendo 3DS shop was taken down, making multiple GENERATIONS of games extremely difficult to access.

My honest suggestion to everyone is to pick something. Just one or two things that you care about preserving, buy some hard drives when they go one sale and just save copies of things you like. For me, I have a huge selection of video game ROMs and ISOs, games I don't even plan to play, but I want to have record of them. I also have backups of a few podcasts that are over but I want to ensure never get lost.

(specifically bc there WAS a hilarious movie recap podcast I enjoyed.... That without warning was deleted and is now gone. I'll never listen to it again.)

Pick the thing you want to archive, and do it. You don't need to save everything but we all should save something.

When people talk about needing to network/know people in showbiz. They're actually talking about "i need a cheerful, polite young man who is good at playing up the "horrified beaurecrat" while in a mildly sinister role in a premise that steadily gets more horrifying" and Sam Reich going "Oh I can get Brian David Gilbert!". They're talking about "I need a someone willing to completely straightfaced create a gag video parodying classic youtuber formula with a ridiculous premise but completely deadpan tone' and Sam Reich going "Oh I can get Sungwon Cho!". They're talking about "I need a guy who is willing to just be the creepiest most sinister clown with the goofiest voice and mannerisms" and Sam Reich going "Oh I can get Josh Ruben!". They're talking about "I need the goofiest guy possible to incompetently eat spaghetti and scatter it all around the set and onto my competitors podiums while doing witty banter" and Sam Reich going "Oh I can get Grant O- he has WHAT. Shit. Zac, Zac Oyama, where are you-"

One of my favorite Elrond headcanons is the idea that he starts out looking very much human and elvish. He has ears too pointed to be a man's, but not nearly long enough to be an elf's, his father's (grandfather's, really) blue eyes and brown hair that shines like an elf's, but gets tangled far too often.

Sure, some weird things happen around Elrond as a child– the birds that seems to follow him, the way some injuries mysteriously resolve in his prescense, the unusual flowers that bloom outside his windows– but really, it's easy to see those as distant remnants of an ainuric power that Elrond clearly didn't inherit. When he comes to Gil-Galad's camp, it's much easier for them to see Tuor or Beren in him than it is to think he's descended from Melian.

But then time passes. The changes are slow enough– happening over decades or centuries– that no one really notices at first. Elrond's hair darkens until it is as black as the night sky– as black as Luthien's was. His eyes leach color until they are gray– not Noldor gray, mind, but a strange, starry gray that some of the Iathrim whisper about. His voice changes, almost seems to take on an echo of itself, sometimes.

The strange things that happen around him only get stranger– the trees bend to shelter him, during storms, and sometimes when he sings, the birds sing with him. Elrond got a cat, right at the start of the Second Age– a gift from Gil-Galad. Somehow, it never seems to grow old or die. The parts of Lindon Elrond most often visits always seem to be in full bloom, no matter what season it is. His healing abilities surpass what is to be expected of a man– an elf– eventually, of what seems possible at all.

At the end of the First Age, it would've been hard to believe Elrond had more than a trickle of ainur blood in him. By the beginning of the Third Age, many have started to whisper about Rivendell– a new Doriath, ruled by a Maiarin lord with all Melian's grace, and her eccentricities.

Elrond doesn't realize just how much he's changed until the day, late in the Third Age, when he finds Maglor wandering on the shoreline. Nothing he says will convince Maglor that he isn't Luthien's spirit, returned from death to haunt him.
