thinking today about how much I love literally all fiber arts. I am hopeless at almost every other kind of art, but as soon as there is thread, yarn, or string I can figure it out fairly quickly.
I learned how to knit when i was eight, started sewing at nine, my dad taught me rock climbing knots around that age, I figured out from a book how to make friendship bracelets, I've made my own drop spindle to make yarn with, and more recently I've picked up visible mending. I've learned embroidery through fixing my overalls, and this year I've learned how to darn and how to do sashiko (which I did for the first time today). After years of being unable to crochet I finally figured it out last night and made seven granny squares in just a few hours.
I want to learn every fiber art that I can. I want to quilt, I want to use a spinning wheel, I want to weave, I want to learn tatting, I want to learn how to weave a basket, I want to learn them all. If I could travel through time and meet anyone in the Bible, high on my list are the craftsmen who made the Tabernacle.
I want to travel the world and learn the fiber arts of every culture, from the gorgeous Mayan weaving in Guatemala, to the stunning batik of Java, to Kente in Ghana. I want to sit at the feet of experienced men and women and watch them do their craft expertly and learn from them.
Of every art form I've seen, it's fiber arts that tug most at my heartstrings.

So, EZ is giving me strong Tara gone rogue vibes with the hitting himself and mirror scene. The only way he keeps this momentum going is if he justifies every kill in his mind. Angel and Manny definitely suspect something is up with EZ. His casual demeanor and drinking to this guy's death is wild to me. I wasn't team Canche but the kill was spontaneous and did catch me off guard. But Canche did make the same vow to EZ, so i guess EZ just beat him to it. Every kill so far has had its own justification, but every kill is driving EZ's morale deeper and deeper. As for bieber haircut girl, i see a very violent end for her and her sister. Its kind of sad how easily manipulated she is by her sister. She has no issue with her sister dying but Lord forbid her racist boyfriend is in the ICU. As for EL Banquero's sister, i hope she does team up with Miguel over her brother. He's a loose Canon and is clearly incapable of composing himself. Also, I hope Luisa stays and doesn't let the guilt she feels draw her away from the baby.

being in a small fandom is like being given a bone, chewing on it until you're done with it, burying it in your backyard, and then digging that same chewed up bone months later to continue chewing on it, and then the cycle just repeats.this is especially true for small fandoms that you know won't be getting any new content, so you just have to consume the content you've already consumed thousands of times before.
