Here is Prompt 3: Cracked Glass
--
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Jack Spicer was indeed a sight to behold. A 25 year old male, lean and weak, was now smashing a car window with a bat with a force to be reckoned with. The sound of smashing glass scattered across a parking garage yet was somewhat soundless if no one was there to hear it.
A breathtaking swing like a pro golfer had Jack Spicer puting the side mirrors under some cars farther down the slope towards darkness. The only thing bright in this dark place was the smile lighting up the man's face as he took another stroke sending the second mirror in the opposite direction.
It was a true work of joy to see.
The young man had a sucker in his mouth, chomping at it aggravated as he raised the bat from before to damage the windshield. The sickening crack was similar to dropping ones phone. Gut wrenching and the sound alone could split a heart in two. 
Jack Spicer hoped Jared Pulinsky could feel this pain.
His newly ex boyfriend Jared who just put out pictures of Jack that he found rather fucking rude to exploit after their relationship crashed and burned.
Fucking Jareds. 
I feel Jack on this one, Jareds can secretly be some real b-holes. 
So after Jack broke up with him over some weird money issues involving money getting taken from his wallet without asking, that buck tooth, dimwitted brunette of a trucker decided to send out some of their naughty pictures. Which is why every single hit to the truck that Jared treasured made Jack more horny than he had ever been.
After he had smashed the glass, Jack pulled out his special key he made specifically to screw this truck over. A long strong key that would be impossible to fix after he scratched through. This time he took some liberties and doodled some things through that paint job that Jack gifted to Jared. 
Cars occasionally drove through the garage and asked him what he was doing. He always answered honestly because there was nothing more satisfying then someone agreeing with him and giving their blessing to fuck up his exe's car.
Ah sweet validation.
Oh but he wasn't quite done. Oh no no, he also paid for the inside to get reupholstered. 
Jared couldn't have anything that nice on his own paycheck, surely it would be awkward to drive around in the car your ex got work done for.
Jack Spicer would be EVER SO kind and make sure it wasn't recognizable after he was done with the Golden Tiger Claw ripping into the seams of the seats. ANYTHING to make JARED more comfortable in his BRAND NEW truck.
Lastly, to put the finishing touches took out a knife and slashed the tires with all the force his thin body could do. It was tough work but hearing that sweet hiss of air and knowing his ex wouldn't be able to drive to work was just plain exciting.
And finally, the piece de resistance, stealing the catalytic converter from the underbelly of the truck. That way if he wanted to sell this new piece of shit, he would get barely a dime without the most expensive piece. After all, this piece of shit was paid for by Jack, he at least deserved the best spare part to sell for himself. 
Hmmm…maybe he could take the engine too….
Nah, Jack did more than enough to get out the message not to fuck with him, literally or figuratively.
Jack Spicer had gone soft while with Jared. He felt more love and attention from Jared than his parents ever gave him. Hell, the only person who ever lived with him longer than a month at a time was his grandma.
So this betrayal, despite dating for only 4 months, was a deep wound for him. Jack had been used and he was sick of always being the victim of these manipulative games.
They were never games to him.
It was time for Jack to start anew and it would start with this fucking truck. 
--
This last prompt for Cracked Glass is about Jack finally trying to stand up for himself once his boyfriend hurt him. However, Jack had disappeared from the monks and Heylin's lives for years at this point. So when a wu turns up one year later, they don't expect Jack nor the strange robot he sends. He leaves a message behind, "I'm done playing games."
Please feel free to check the other two prompts and answer the poll on my page♡☆

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Was looking through old photos last night and decided I wanted to post these; I’ve sorted them more-or-less into chronological order. The first is me, circa probably mid-90s, when I had a perm and silver-framed round glasses.
The second shows what my computer setup looked like way back when. Depending on whether this was early/mid or late 90s, I either had a 286 or an early Pentium Pro, in a tower case in a stand off to the side. If you look at more recent photos of my computer setup, you’ll notice I am still using the same giant white behemoth of a white-coated particle board desk. It weights a ton and is a bitch to move even disassembled, but I have definitely gotten my money’s worth out of that late 80s purchase. I also still have and use the keyboard hutch/monitor stand in the picture, and still had that chair (long since reupholstered in a dark green canvas to replace the grey olefin) until about two years ago.
The dark striped and black cats are sisters I’d adopted from an informal shelter (a mother and adult daughter who took in strays, got them their shots, and got the males spayed at a discount from their local vet). The striped cat is “Little Demon”, her sister is “The Witch”. They were very sweet, and very shy of people-not-me, since I only rarely had visitors over so they weren’t particularly socialized to deal with strangers; I used to refer to them as the alleged cats, as in I said I had them but almost no one ever actually saw them. They loved cuddling up with each other and with me. The Witch adored playing fetch and would make the cutest little murping noises as she scurried back to me with whatever her object-to-throw of the moment was (loose socks, singular mittens, squiggy balls, crinkly balls, plastic rings from juice bottle, crumpled paper...). Little Demon also liked fetch but wasn’t as clear on the “carry it back for it to be thrown again” part of things. She adored their cat dancer toy, and one that was a circular plastic track with a ball that had multiple ways to reach inside and interact with the ball.
The singular cat is Sandtiger, whom I refer to as my obligatory big fat orange cat (I like to believe that any owner of multiple cats will at some point in their lives have a large orange one). She came to me as a semi-feral mother with newborn kittens when I was doing fostering for the Toronto Humane Society. She was an aggressive mistrusting asshole that was extremely defensive of her kittens, but after a lot of work on my part eventually decided to tolerate me. I was so upset when I had to return her and her kittens at the end of the fostering period, and didn’t have the money to adopt her right away; it was a Saturday, iirc, and my next payday wasn’t until the Thursday. I was woken up by a phone call first thing the next morning; she’d bitten the vet while being examined, they wouldn’t be able to adopt her out due to her aggressiveness... did I still want her? For free? I said yes, of course, and had her for about a decade afterwards. She treated my other two cats with barely-there tolerance most of the time, so it was always nice to spot the few times she did decide to cuddle up with one or both of them (and it tended to be aggressive cuddling, of the pin-them-down and wash their face or ears with her own ears tilted back and an “I’m only doing to this satisfy my social instincts and I Hate It” look on her face). She was not big into playing, except the very rare times when she’d suddenly decided out of nowhere to play-murder a random item.
It’s been about 20 years since I had to give them up (fucking allergies) and I miss them still.

HOW DO I KNOW IF A SOFA IS WORTH UPHOLSTERING?
Tumblr media
Our friends ask us at Hummingfox Reupholstery Calgary: My partner and I have been going back and forth for weeks on this topic.  Whether or not we should buy a new sofa for our living room or reupholster our current one. He likes the one we have because it was his fathers sofa. He is sentimentally attached to it. I want something lighter and brighter and not outdated. He mentioned upholstery but I am nervous. How do you know if a sofa is worth upholstering? We have answered this exact question for clients over and over again and usually, it consists of the same issues.
One loves it, the other hates it. One is attached to it because it has sentimental value. The other can’t stand the 70’s chartreuse green upholstery covered in dog hair. The truth of the matter is simple. Upholstery can be an expensive practice. However, there are so many more pros to upholstery than cons. Not only does reupholstery keep furniture frames out of landfills, making it eco-conscious. But it also reuses quality furniture and increases the longevity of your piece.
STEP ONE
You should be determining whether the sofa is more than 10 years old. If you have a sofa that is older than 10-15 years then right off the bat you have better quality furniture. Younger furniture is usually not sturdy enough to upholster and should definitely be tested. If you’re considering buying from Kijiji, Facebook, or from a yard sale,  ask questions! Check whether it wobbles, rocks or makes noise, or feels unsteady. If it still feels sturdy, that’s a great sign and could be a good candidate.
STEP TWO
Examine the frame. A sofa that is worth reupholstering should have a frame made of hardwood with relatively few knots. Joints should feel secure and steady. If you aren’t sure whether or not the frame is hardwood, remove the cushions and try to lift the sofa. If it is heavy for its size, it is more likely to be high quality than if it feels really light.  The wood is probably not sturdy enough to reupholster, but you can always check with us if you aren’t sure.
STEP THREE
If possible, take a look at the springs in the frame. Higher quality sofas have coiled springs tied with twine atop the platform. If the sofa looks like it has a thin spring webbing that feels flimsy and light, then it probably isn’t worth upholstering. Don’t be afraid to check the springs by patting the underside of the sofa and feel whether the dust cover is taut. A taught dust cover is a sure sign of good construction.
STEP FOUR
Always listen to your gut. If you love your sofa, then you love your sofa. If it is good quality and you’re on the fence about spending the money. Ask yourself whether you are likely to find a piece you like as much. The perfect shape, size, and feel of your sofa are entirely up to you when you upholster. If you want something unique to your comfort level, then upholstery is a great choice. The care, quality, and craftsmanship that goes into upholstery is one-of-a-kind. And is made by artisans who care about longevity and quality. So if you are asking yourself, what is the best Reupholstery Calgary shop? 
FINAL STEP – HUMMINGFOX REUPHOLSTERY CALGARY. 
The answer and best next step, get in contact with Hummingfox Reupholstery Calgary! We can provide a free consult to determine what options are available.

Pros and Cons of Reupholstering an existing sofa
Tumblr media
 Image credit: pinterest
  sofa reupholstery is a common sofa repair that many people don’t think about when their sofa starts to show signs of wear and tear. There are several reasons you might want to reupholster your sofa instead of buying a new one, including the following: 
 - sofa repair is typically much cheaper than buying a new sofa 
- you can choose any fabric you want for your sofa, which gives you more options than you would have if you were buying a new sofa 
- sofa refurbishment can be a fun DIY project 
 However, there are also some drawbacks to sofa reupholstery that you should consider before undertaking this project, such as the following: 
 - it can be time-consuming to remove the old fabric and staple on the new fabric 
- if your sofa is in poor condition, it might not be worth the effort to reupholster it 
- you might not be able to match the pattern or color of the existing fabric if you want to keep the same look for your sofa. 
 Pros and Cons of Buying New Sofa
Tumblr media
Image credit: pinterest
  When it comes time to replace an old sofa, many people are unsure whether to buy a new one or have their current sofa repaired or refurbished. There are pros and cons to both options. Buying a new sofa may be more expensive upfront, but it will likely last longer since it will be made with high-quality materials. Sofa repair and refurbishment can be less expensive than buying a new sofa, but it may not last as long since the sofa will still be subject to depreciation. The decision of whether to buy a new sofa or repair an old one depends on many factors, including budget and personal preference. Regardless of which option is chosen, both can provide years of comfort and enjoyment.
   When to Reupholster a sofa?
Tumblr media
Image credit: pinterest
 There are a number of factors to consider when deciding whether or not to reupholster a sofa. The most important factor is the condition of the sofa. If the sofa is in good condition, with only minor damage, then reupholstering may be a good option. However, if the sofa is severely damaged or has major structural problems, it may be more cost-effective to replace it. Another important factor to consider is the style of the sofa. If the sofa is a timeless classic, it may be worth investing in reupholstery. However, if the sofa is out of date or no longer stylish, it may be best to simply replace it. Finally, you should also consider the cost of reupholstery versus the cost of buying a new sofa. In some cases, reupholstery can be quite expensive. If you are on a tight budget, it may be best to simply buy a new sofa. However, if you have the financial resources to invest in reupholstery, it can be a great way to extend the life of your sofa and update its style.
  Why should you reupholster an existing one?
Tumblr media
Image credit: pinterest
1. The cost of reupholstering an existing sofa is often cheaper than buying a new one.
2. Reupholstering can extend the life of your sofa by years.
3. It's an environmentally friendly way to update your furniture.
4. You can choose from a wide range of fabrics and styles when you reupholster, so you can really customize the look of your furniture.
5. Reupholstering is a great way to update the look of your home without having to buy new furniture.
   Reupholstering vs. Buying New Sofa: Which Is Better?
Tumblr media
 Reupholstering vs. Buying New Sofa: Which Is Better? If your sofa is starting to look a bit worn, you might be wondering whether it’s time to reupholster or replace it entirely. Both options have their pros and cons, so it’s important to weigh your options before making a decision. Reupholstering can be a great way to revive an old sofa and give it a new lease on life. It’s also usually more affordable than buying a new sofa. However, reupholstering can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, so it’s not always the best option. Buying a new sofa is usually quicker and easier, but it can be more expensive in the long run. 
Finally, think about the look you want for your home. If you want a completely new look, then buying a new sofa is probably the best option. But if you're happy with your existing furniture and just want to change up the fabric, then reupholstering might be the way to go. Ultimately, the best option for you will depends on your budget, your timeline, and your personal preferences.

What to Expect When You Have got Your Sofa Reupholstered & home sofa leather upholstery
If you? re a mid-century modern supporter, you probably possess a classic sofa identical to this one particular. Perhaps something which has a long and very low upvc profile, walnut finish plus gondola base? It? s a mid-century dream.
We MCM fans do like our vintage couches. They just put on? t make? dentro de like this anymore!
But chances happen to be, it? s concerning time to reupholster your sofa. Zero offense to that old beauty, nevertheless it? s nearing 60 as well as seventy years old.
The information has faded, extended and pilled. It cushions are falling apart to pieces. Might be the cushion deal with zippers are cracked and leaking it crumbs onto your sofa (at minimum that was my personal experience).
But don? t give up on your period capsule sofa. This can be rescued with an innovative upholstery job. Right now I? m sharing what to assume if you get the sofa reupholstered, just how the upholstery process went for myself, and a Q&A together with a Portland upholster. Ready to geek out over sofa?!
bọc sofa -Century Sofa Reupholstery This January, Martin and I acquired quotes and started the sofa reupholstery process. This isn? t something we all wanted to DO IT YOURSELF because it? s a really large, considerable piece of furniture. We turned this one over to the pros.
And am? m glad we all did. I constantly loved this lemon couch, and today it? s recently been restored to a condition that should carry on in our house for many even more years.
The particular fabric can acquire days to get there, and then that? s time to disappear your lounger to the big transformation. The upholster can probably need to include new cushions plus padding, basically restoring your couch from the frame up. This? s an fine art, you are able to? t hurry it.
Getting some sort of sofa reupholstered, especially an extra long mid-century sofa, is surely an investment. You may probably get the new IKEA lounger for cheaper, and even IKEA definitely has its place in our house (in many of these photos, in fact). But if you? re thinking about fixing a high-quality, classic piece of pieces of furniture that will last a long time, We recommend the covers route.
Our upholster, Michael, did the beautiful job. And I had tons associated with questions for him or her. Here? s precisely what the expert acquired to say in regards to the upholstery process and exactly what you need to be able to know if an individual? re considering some sort of sofa reupholstery work.
How can individuals decide when it? s better in order to reupholster a classic couch or buy a fresh one? One of the most recurring question in the furniture biz is, have to I buy older or buy new. It all will depend on the high quality of the furnishings piece and exactly how the client values the particular piece. Older bits were built to be able to last and the elements used were a lot better compared to today. If you have a new newer high finish piece, 99% regarding the time you should reupholster. If an individual own an IKEA piece, don? to bother reupholstering.
Exactly what should people appear for in a furniture company? When looking for a great upholster, don? to base your decision about reviews, but bottom it within the good quality of the store? s work. Most shops will have photos of pieces they may have reupholstered. My partner and i always recommend typically the client go straight down to the upholstery shop and chat with them about your project. If their very own shop is total of work, of which tells you a thing. They do good do the job! Plus you will see their particular current projects up close, so a person to have idea involving what you can be receiving on your project.
Just what should people count on when they have a sofa reupholstered? Whenever having a lounge reupholstered, you have to expect a whole new, secure feeling sofa. Most shops, like ourselves, do a complete tear down in order to the frame, install new padding and always repair anything that needs it.
What are some of typically the different options individuals should know concerning when reupholstering couches? If you are using your sofa daily, keep typically the upholstery simple. Tufted pieces or buttons can become uncomfortable when binge seeing The Walking Dry on Net? ix. Square simple layered welted cushions are the best choice. We o? emergeny room a wide collection of di? erent foams from partially? rm seat froth, to super squishy back foam.
Precisely what should people seem for in quality upholstery fabric? Just about all fabrics these days are 100% polyester material which means they happen to be more durable in addition to stain resistant than the older cotton mixture fabrics. We advise always selecting a high quality thick upholstery cloth. Fabrics with Crypton coating and which are stain resistant are usually good.
Is presently there a good middle-of-the-road option for textile that is inexpensive but still lasts a long time, or is it much better to get the more expensive fabric? As much as fabric go, there are numerous out there there that will be mid priced $45. 00- $60. 00 a yard that will will last as long as the $100. 00 as well as fabric. The purchase price just about all depends on the particular style, texture, in addition to material used. Today? s fabrics are fully polyester so are very durable. My partner and i always recommend to a clients, choose the thick fabric which in turn is whatever we to? er at each of our upholstery shop.
Concerning how often perform sofas need in order to be reupholstered? Furnishings reupholstery is generally required every 10-15 years. That only is applicable to high quality manufactured USA furniture. Your current big box store furniture produced in China, Vietnam, Indonesia tends to deteriorate a lot sooner.
Is there anything unique about reupholstering middle century modern sofas? Middle century sofas are often fun because, presently there was a great deal of playing going on together with furniture design and construction during typically the mid-century period. Most typical is exactly what My partner and i call the ATTACH TO FRAME method, which is where fabric is sewed together in a new way to create typically the contour in the furnishings. This eliminated the particular common method involving stapling the textile to shape the piece.
What should buyers seek out in the event that they? re buying vintage sofa that they may have reupholstered? What do? good bones? look like in a couch? If you are shopping with regard to a vintage lounge, mid-century, Victorian, etc ., always look under the sofa. See how it? s developed. If it has coils springs, no sag springs, webbing and many others. The most important thing is in order to see what the frame is created out there of. Most antique pieces are constructed outside of maple, oak, alder, or poplar. In the event you see molecule board, stay away.
Are there particular eras when sofa were generally higher quality or lower top quality? Any decades/eras you would probably avoid when buying for a vintage/used sofa? Sofas constructed during the Professional Revolution of the particular 19th century to be able to the late eighties were built to last in addition to to be reupholstered many times. With the introduction involving computer controlled products in the 1990s and with abroad manufacturing, plywood plus other inferior components were getting to be used which reduced the particular frame quality regarding furniture. Remember the particular most important part of the couch, is its frame. It? s like the engine in your current car, it needs to be trusted.
Are there fresh high-quality sofas well worth buying on the particular market today, or even is older structure usually more long lasting and a better investment? You may still buy good quality custom settees today. If it offers a MADE INSIDE USA sticker about it, it? t higher end and definitely will last a lengthy time.

On TV, the pros make reupholstering look easy. All you require to do is binge-watch HGTV and you got this …? It's not that basic. While it is possible for beginners to deal with some small reupholstery tasks, you risk of seriously screwing up a furniture piece for jobs that are more made complex. (That treasure piece gave from your great-grandmother? Forget about it.) According to specialists, here's how to understand when it's all right to DIY and when to call in a pro (plus how to discover one).
Recovering vs. Reupholstering.
First, it's important to understand the distinction between recuperating and reupholstering. Recuperating is put simply brand-new fabric over the old material. This is a way to cut corners. We discover many people who recuperate, and in turn, I have to take all those layers off [when I reupholster] When you're reupholstering an item, on the other hand, you're completely changing the material and potentially installing brand-new foam or other inserts.
The Biggest Misconception About Reupholstering.
What most people get wrong is believing it's easy. There have actually been a great deal of times where I've had customers bring me something they tried. You can discover numerous reupholstering videos on YouTube with specialists who make the procedure seem like a cinch, yet when you've never ever done it previously, it can end up being a lot more tough than you anticipated.
When it's alright to DIY.
Basic "whack and tack" tasks, where you're just pulling the material around the surface covered in cushioning and stapling it in place, are a terrific location to begin. Dining room chairs with drop seats are a quite achievable reupholstering project for beginners. Considering that the seats are normally square, it just involves figuring out how to fold the corners.
Another achievable job is a basic, covered headboard. It's kind of like wrapping a present. You can make one by getting a piece of plywood cut to the size you desire in the house Depot, including padding to it, and wrapping and stapling your fabric around it. When you're deciding to DIY, prevent using thick fabrics like leather and vinyl, since they can be really challenging to fold.
When to Call a Pro.
Anything that needs "full upholstery" (such as club chairs, ottomans, and sofas, particularly those featuring tufting) is too complicated for a newbie to handle if you want the outcome to look expert. The exception to this: If you're dealing with something low-cost with the goal of simply discovering how. If you have a chair at Goodwill and do not pick a costly fabric, and it's implied to teach you a skill, that's something, however if it's a family heirloom with upholstered back and arms, look for the assistance of a professional. If your piece has any foundation problems-- an unsteady frame or leg-- take it to an expert.
A great deal of Singapore sofa upholstery will offer material; however, you shouldn't be afraid of sourcing your own fabrics somewhere else (after discovering the precise yardage from the upholsterer you've employed).
Prior to picking to deal with a sofa upholstery company, ask your good friends who they advise. If you find somebody you may wish to deal with, ask if you can speak with a few of their former clients and check out the sofa upholstery company store to see items they've done in individual. You require to be sure that what you're paying for is at the standard level you're expecting.

BABY PROS BABY PROS omggg and imagine him trying to look as expensive and important as a human possibly can, but failing miserably and being a complete goof and laughing in the weirdest way possible about silly things, coughing when he tries to smoke the cigarettes he stole from his father, ruining his clothes by being too active, reading a lot so he can impress others and being so proud when he's given even the smallest amount of leadership :3c
ok SO i think it’s unlikely he was sent to an assassin team straight away. as u know i headcanon prosciutto as coming from an old mafia family that’s definitely lost a bit of its glamour; they keep up appearances but their expensive old house has a dodgy boiler and the chairs need a reupholster and the grand piano in the front room has some off-keys that are possibly never going to be an on-key again. HOWEVER; prosciutto is aware he carries their legacy and their name. he’s seventeen when he gets sent to his first assignment--
his family do not expect him to live long but they expect him to live well and uphold the tradition. they scrimp and save to make sure he’s outfitted fine and well. his father is long dead but his mother buys him cigarettes to take with him and makes him get used to smoking, her face beautiful and cold as she watches him cough. 
all of his new teammates think him horribly stuck up and arrogant; jumped-up on his name with no reason to be so. they push him around a lot. but prosciutto REFUSES to back down. he’s weird - his upbringing was weird, a world away from men who were forced into this life by circumstance - and they don’t get him. he throws himself into danger headfirst after fussing about dust on his trousers; he spends a night by candlenight meticulously darning holes in the knee of vintage chanel. other gangsters see right through him - but they still know that a boy like that’s going to go far, and the thought is just confirmed when Grateful Dead eventually manifests.
