#will I actually bind this

[nerdierholler]

I have a multitude of things I should have been doing lately: checking my dash here, finishing a quilt I promised my dad months ago, working on a cover letter for a full time job that’s due Thursday. Have I done any of those things? Nope. Instead I listened to the recent fansplaining episode on fanbinding and decided I wanted to poke that. Specifically I wanted to do all of the fiddly typesetting bits and spend time really getting into minute details on something because I don’t ever really get to do that and I like it.

I decided on Pride and Prejudice because 3 copies isn’t enough lol Anywho! After taking a big block of html text from project gutenberg, I think I’ve almost wrangled it into a typeset resembling a real book. It’s very satisfying.

#life at nerdy holler #jane austen #still might fiddle with the margins and image settings #but I think it’s really close #I’m pleased that I was able to use a tutorial and get it looking this nice on a first ever attempt #poking margins and fonts and being very picky has been a delightful mental break #will I actually bind this #I don’t know #but just the typesetting was a nice (almost) zero cost mini project #I’m out a tiny amount for the ink and paper I’ve used on trial runs #but it’s also stuff I have at home and don’t use that often so #my plan (if I do this) is to break it up into the original three volumes #and do each seperately #and I didn’t see a typeset like that already on my quick skim #plus I really wanted to try my hand at it

On the idea of Theseus's Ship: in the end, it's still his, isn't it? It was known as Theseus's, and it will continue to be known as Theseus's.

Even after he has returned to the ground which grew the wood of the hammer used to nail the ship's frame, Even after generations of new wood have rotted and the sails are rags clinging to threads, Even after millennia,

it will still be Theseus's Ship.

Goodnight, Phosphophyllite.

Turtle Takedown Teamwork.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #tulu xuanwu #Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me. #The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.” #don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things. #We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play. #There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'. #The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice. #The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing) #A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard. #And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX - #LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together. #And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped) #But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone. #Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ. #It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing. #Finally. Sex scenes that are important to the plot and characters

main characters of a comic I'm hoping to dedicate a lot of my time to this year

#currently still untitled. i've been wanting to make a comic for so many years but been kinda too fucked in the head to #actually bind myself to a long project. we'll see how this one goes. not putting any pressure on myself. #it's a old-ish concept which sparked first from that old skephalo au i had. but is nowadays more about actually learning to live #i may hav posted angel here before.. but yeah more to come some day. next up is opening my etsy store again :'''D #but yeeahhhh happy new year everyone! <3 #angel demon dichotomy as always babeyhhh

bleed for me

I’ve been working on a new hobby for a while (and it’s far from perfect!!) but it’s cool to think I made this from start to finish!

#also trying to get comfortable sharing the process of learning! #parts I liked: typesetting!!!! and the designing and weeding the htv #parts I did not like: the actual construction haha - I pressed too hard with my heat press and glue seeped out on the cover & back #AND painting the edges - I think I did the wrong method #but! I think the next one will be even better #and for clarity re: some binding discourse #I’m binding for personal use only and with authors permission 💖 #graphics are from Canva but edited by me #fan fic binding #fic binding #jess binds

#hollow knight #thought this would be fun to do! #just including these ones since all the others are either (comparatively) easy enough and/or are prerequisites for one of the options here #i guess i could've also added the one for beating Grey Prince Zote since you can block him from the pantheons and he isn't required for 112% #but. c'mon now. dhdhshshf #i guess i also could've included Purity (kill the nailsmith) for the Emotional Difficulty but. i want this to be a bit more serious dhsdhf #also i'm only including the actual in-game achievements. so no path of pain; pantheon bindings; or radiant hall of gods bosses #anyway. there IS a Correct Answer in my mind dgdhshf #and if something besides that one wins or gets a lot of votes then i'll try and offer some tips for it

id : a digital painting in dark tones with a golden and purple decorated border. steve is kneeling, bare chested, with his back to the viewer. He is wearing pearl shoulder jewellry and a big circle sigil is shining on the middle of his back and connected to magical binds around his torso, neck and wrists. the end of these ties are wrapped in eddie's hand. Eddie is seated on a wooden vanity dressed in black dress pants and a sheer shiny shirt, open halfway. He is also wearing a ruby necklace shining the same colour as the magic and reflecting in his eyes. /end id

Here is the drawing i sent off for the reverse big bang and that @viviseawrites made so much better ! We've mostly worked separately so I am just as excited as you all to go read "they gave you life, and in return, you gave them hell"

The Process Of Elimination, by zoicite/ @enechelon

The Emperor calls for eligible heirs to compete for a chance to marry his treasured progeny, Her Divine Highness, First Born of the First Reborn. Each week one House will be sent home until only one remains and the winning heir shall ascend to stand beside Her Divine Highness, hand in hand, with House replenished and legacy secured. Harrow does not intend to compete.

or: THE bachelor AU!! This has been a longtime favorite fic of mine and it was such an honor to be able to bind it!! Sending out a massive thank you to the Zoicite for writing and sharing it with the world

Fandom: The Locked Tomb

Pairing: Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus

Title font: Neue Helvetica Bold Extended

Body font: Garamond

Pages: 471

Case: Arrestox Bookcloth White with hand-embossed gold foil

Endpapers: French Marble Pastel Goldenrod

Progress pictures/process under the cut!

For the cover/title I went directly to the Bachelor logo for inspiration, replacing the classic wedding band with, of course, the ring of keys used in the fic!

The cover is heat embossed by hand, in the same way as my previous bind of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. For that bind I went pretty maximalist, and for THIS one I wanted to aim for a really clean looking, simple but elegant look. I think it turned out pretty good! I ended up going for the white and gold look to match First House Gideon vibes

I also tried rounding and backing here again, which turned out somewhat mixed. I'm still working on my technique for that, but peep the nice yellow headbands to match the endpapers!

Overall, this was SO fun to do, and a great excuse to revisit & spend good time with a fic I love.

#the locked tomb #fanbinding #fanbind #raxheim binds #griddlehark #YAYYYY #i actually finished this weeks if not months ago and have been LANGUISHING on posting abt it #but here it is!!! YAYY #UGH i miss fanbinding. have not been able to work on any of my WIP typesets recently...... #but i have a whole to do list. maybe over thanksgiving

the thing I love about sukuna is that he is a walking catastrophe. a calamity. a being of godlike stature and power. peoppe see him and instinctively fear him.

and yet, he is still just a guy.

he has hobbies and interests (food, poetry, murder, etc.), he has people he likes (well, one person I guess) and people he despises.

the way he acts towards yuuji is more like a middle school bully, if a middle school bully had unlimited power over life and death. honestly I think he'd be just as happy seeing yuuji stub his toe as he was laughing at him about junpei.

he's a master shittalker, and sometimes even does it to save face, but he's actually quite polite towards almost everyone. he praises almost all the people he fights (yuuji being the biggest exception). he seems to respect people who have the audacity to stand up to him and at least some strength to back it up (yuuji, once again, excluded). he'll still talk mad shit, though.

this is what makes him such a great villain to me. despite his canonically godlike power, he can't escape the remnants of his humanity. there's no question that he is evil and that it would be impossible to redeem him. and yet, his personality is very human. a horrible one, but human nonetheless.

#sukuna #re: saving face; i think he killed miminana not necessarily because of the perceived disrespect (though that is definitely a factor) #but because he knew that they were talking about kenjaku and couldn't actually do anything about it due to their binding vow #even if he wanted #no matter what those two did or said they were going to die anyway

year of the rabbit themed baby quilt

#it’s actually small throw sized because I don’t believe in baby quilts. the little ones get outgrown so fast #backing is flannel and I love the binding so much #I’m gifting it along with a miffy plush 🐰 #honestly the simplest quilt I ever made but it’s so sweet #only a bonus it took just a week to make #j quiltblr momence

i love geto i find his completely embarrassing behavior and inability to live to his full potential or win fights to be charming

#i feel like I don’t actually talk about most of my favorite characters on this blog 😭 but he’s one of them #the fact he was all ‘you don’t even know how to do that? pay attention to class 🤨’ to yuuta during their fight #but clearly didn’t even teach the twins shit about binding vows in shibuya 😭😭 #and the way kenjaku is going wild with cursed spirit manipulation.. a little pathetic for geto as a villain in hindsight #but I love it #still wish we could’ve had more with the remaining family cult members post shibuya though. I will never forget u larue yuki team up 😤 #jujutsu kaisen #geto suguru #jjk spoilers
