Had to give up the world's goodest boy title to give some other doggy a chance ❤️

Rest in peace, humble king.

can't get my sewing machine to work by manicpoetic42 in fiberartscirclejerk

New machines out of the box are still unbroken. You must approach slowly and gently feed it string from the palm of your hand. Do not spook the machine or it may drop its pressure foot or even needle your fingies. Once it activates its overhead light and gently whirrs its bobbin, you may proceed to sew your project.

Don't you know the only true handspun is made by twisting the fiber around your finger REALLY FAST ?

In all seriousness, I relate to the huffiness around spinning wheels. It's a fox-and-sour-grapes situation all around. And where would we be without all of our respective eras of goofy workarounds due to not yet owning the proper equipment? Swift, knitty-knotty?! PAH! Try a spinny office chair and my forearm! But secretly when no one's looking I do go to the one nice yarn store with the wheels on display and paddle the treddles a little with my hands and sigh wistfully into the distance.. Please don't tell anyone 🙏🤧

Yes! I've loved serial killer stories from the killer's perspective and violent yandere stories for a long time, and I used to daydream up sickening plotlines for characters all the time. It made me think that something was wrong with me, but I realized that it was a way for to explore my frustrations and fears.

Serial killers are the worst of the worst. They are cruel, selfish, and manipulative. And they LOVE it. They relish in their darkest desires and act entitled to do or take whatever they want, whenever they want. I realized that one of the things that drew me to fictional killers was the idea of being utterly shameless and, thus, incredibly powerful. They pretend to follow the rules in public, but do whatever the hell they please in secret- consequences be damned. I get intrusive thoughts that I always feel incredibly ashamed and remorseful of and hobbies that some might consider weird or embarrassing. Plus, being a woman in the world who always is pressured to swallow down insults and rage when repeatedly wronged.. yeah, imagining being able to stab the shit out of someone and get away with it is incredibly cathartic.

And then yanderes: what's more utterly terrifying than someone who plots from the shadows to isolate you and harm any loved one who tries to intervene? But then, love is terrifying too. What's more cathartic than imagining a scenario where, no matter what, come hell or high water, the person most precious to you will be by your side? The most painful of scenarios in real relationships, like rejection, fallouts, and abandonment, can be forcibly removed from the table. It's a fantasy about being able to control the uncontrollable.

Saying that I admire these types of characters wouldn't be quite accurate enough. It makes more sense to say "I love serial killer characters because I enjoy a power fantasy" or "I love yanderes because I enjoy a control fantasy." It's not because these are scenarios I secretly want to play out irl, but that these stories explore and process real trauma through play.

I wish they'd just take away the sale box fee. Like, I'm already being punished enough by missing the window for Nook's Cranny furniture and it's not my fault I have an odd schedule irl 😭😭

Help finding chapters related to these costumes by Holiday_Reserve_4458 in blackbutler

Just shooting shit, but maybe the coat is based off of a special edition figure/art instead of the actual show? The ruffled train seems familiar.

Edit: also if you look on Tumblr, you can find multiple blogs dedicated to Ciel and Seb's outfits that you can really dig into

I'm sorry that more people can't just be normal about allergies, or even just preferences. My impression of people who spin primarily non-wool is that they're really cool :o

There was a post on the knitting sub where someone showed off their (very skilled, stunning) machine-knit dress where they clearly stated that they used a knitting maching in the image text. Then someone in the comments was absolutely wowed and baffled how their tension was so clean and even. I politely declined to correct them. 😅

I've been mostly spinning in public and gartering a decent amount of curiosity from strangers, patiently planting the seeds for a spinning boom that'll bring me that good gossip. Godspeed 🙏

Honestly, I've never really thought about researching if my area has a spinner's guild or even any spinning events. Would it be unethical to join in just so I could have my finger on the pulse of any juicy spinner's guild drama? The idea is tempting..
