yk when you see someone share a finished handmade item that they clearly spent a lot of time and money on and it's just. The absolute tackiest thing you have seen in your life. And then you ask yourself why someone would waste all those resources on such an eyesore.
(no, of course you can't relate to that because you're a much nicer person than me)
In any case.
BEHOLD!
A wool coat!
The top fabric is handwoven and handspun, the whole thing is sewn by hand, too.
Leftovers. Barely anything, all things considered, which is very satisfying.
This thing took me well over 3 years to make, on and off. And now I'm done.
Thank you for your attention.

Unsolicited advice time, but I so mean it when I say everyone collectively needs to spend less time on here and more time interacting with people who aren't constantly marinating in the most ridiculous discourse imaginable. I've been spending more time with people irl lately, and this site only looks more nuts when you gain some distance from it. I'm being serious. You don’t realize how deep you are in Online stuff until you step back, and I think most people on here don't know how lost in the sauce they are. Please go outside more, y'all

extraordinarily glad that i took five years to just write fanfic before attempting nanowrimo on an original project!!! i'm sitting here in front of my word doc like 'wow i'm glad i'm getting words down but this pacing is a mess and i'm going to have to fix it all in december this is awful' and then remembering that i've gone through this process on 18 full projects before. my pacing is always fucked on my first draft and i always manage to fix it later. this is fine.

Why I blocked someone today:
they came onto my post about getting porn back on tumblr with "I don't want porn on tumblr. It's a bunch of other places. Let me have my one safe space away from porn."
Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Yoga is stupid
Just because your body is weak and your mind is frail doesn't mean my hobbies are ill-advised.

Stranded in Monaco di Baviera
I started preparing for this trip by watching the first season of Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl. Little did I know that my short vacation will double in length.
There was a time when München was known as the Haupstadt der Bewegung, but in the last few days there was no bewegung of trams, buses and most of the flights were canceled. So I got stuck.
The first thing that hit me in the city was the smell. Later I would feel the same smell (or another, a mixture of pork, sausages and Glühwein) even from the 91 m high tower of the St. Peter church.
However the first thing to warm my soul was this Osram advert:
On the way to the Glypthotek I was happy to see this:
Of course one goes to the Glypthotek to see the Medusa Rondanini.
"the mere knowledge that such a work could be created and still exists in the world makes me twice the person I was"
And in München one goes to eat and drink.
Obazda goes very good with beer (look up a recipe and make it as soon as you can).
Pork knuckles were a disappointment (I think the ones I am used to are smoked beforehand).
The beef soup? My mother makes better soup from chicken!
If you care about sacrificed animals and you think that every possible part of it should be used, also if you like to eat organs, you might try Milzwurst that is a thick sausage made with spleen. You might try it, but it's just meh...
What to drink? Drink helles, Feuerzangenbowle, Enzian and Bärwurz Schnaps and generally spirits that are so obscure that even the young waitress doesn't know about their existence (Bockbierbrand).
Now about something else. On the third day the snow was so big that the airport got in full chaos mode.
On that day I have seen a young woman skiing on the sidewalk. Next level for sure.
In six days I have seen almost everything I wanted and some things I didn't even care about so much and I made a daytrip to Norimberga.
Not much photos on my phone. I will make later a then and now post.
So
The End
Nyissz! at Asamkirche
