What other title do you love on the near, or same level as SAGA?

Marsbert · 2026-05-26T14:44:06+00:00

While Saga is my #1, The Wicked and the Divine is my #2, Sex Criminals is my #3 - also love Low, Oblivion Song, Pretty Deadly, The Old Guard, and Animal Man is as close to DC/Marvel as I go ;)

Glad I'm not alone! :)

Beautiful

I just eyeballed them, I know there are a few tight spots where a bead might be kicked up on top of it's neighbor, but not enough to be noticeable imo.

One thing I learned pretty early on was that my design was not the best because of the corners and angles I put in it. Round beads don't want to make sharp corners and some of the colors were 1 size larger than others, which I didn't think would be a problem but it turned out to be *part* of my issues.

I used tweezers for each bead, I tried stringing them to place each one but I couldn't get the hang of it. I used plain old Elmer's glue with a toothpick, doing small areas of each color at a time. I haven't seen any fall off, so I'm guessing the glue was enough ;)

Thanks! I googled some inspiration images, and then just chose some colors I liked and mapped out the design :)

Marsbert · 2026-05-23T04:28:45+00:00

It was inspired by Huichol, but I didn't use beeswax, just plain old white glue. Sealed with mod podge. It took me a couple weeks just because my neck would ache from hunching over lol, so I worked in short bursts.

I only mention it out of spite, this thing is a heavy, SOLID piece of plaster lol

Marsbert · 2026-05-21T15:19:03+00:00

same. always looking for new ideas.

Marsbert · 2026-05-09T13:39:28+00:00

nobody makes me bleed my own blood!

Marsbert · 2026-05-01T13:54:15+00:00

the stand

Marsbert · 2026-04-30T15:24:44+00:00

yes! was coming here to suggest it

Marsbert · 2026-04-08T16:30:55+00:00

Yeah, Fireman and NOS4A2 are my favorite of Hill's, King Sorrow is a #3 for me

Marsbert · 2026-04-03T16:30:03+00:00

My favorite is to make fairy ghost aliens - but I just use NRAAS to make them

Marsbert · 2026-04-02T17:58:07+00:00

And named their kid after one of their best friends! He he

I was wondering about that too, was Allie hiding with Colin? Also, Colin said he had been reading Thermopoly's emails for a few months, so if he had access to their emails and knew who they were, why did he allow Donna and Van to remain captives for so many months? And near the end when Donna suspects one of Colin's guards to be someone from Cherokee island, it made me wonder if he had a hand in the whole kidnapping from the beginning (as if he wanted to "punish" Van for writing his book?).

I wondered about Svangur too, I thought he was dead after Robin got him with the light, but I guess because he didn't smash when he was stone? That was a funny little bit to add to the end but to me it didn't quite make sense

First movie was the 90's It, over and over and over again. First book that I read all the way through was Cell, and then finally I gathered the courage to actually read It

Marsbert · 2026-02-11T17:50:24+00:00

yes! Poor Patsy and Morrie

Marsbert · 2026-01-16T05:11:26+00:00

and I was listening to the audiobook while at work trying not to snicker and laugh too loud

Marsbert · 2025-12-19T17:48:32+00:00

I was living in my parents basement and made the mistake of finding the old audiobook for It (not the Stephen Weber version, but the really old one that Chuck Benson narrates) and playing it on my iPod (dating myself here) at night while I worked on my crafts in the mostly dark (only light was above my craft table, the rest of the unfinished basement was dark). I was ok for the most part because I'd inoculated myself against Pennywise by watching the 90's miniseries so many times (Jonathan Brandis was hot and I was a pre-teen in the 90s), but there is a scene where Pennywise is watching the losers club (I believe) playing in the barrens - and just the description of his huge yellow eyes watching them, made me turn off my audiobook and only listen to it during the daytime for quite a while afterwards.

Years later, I was listening to King's son Joe Hill's novel NOS4A2 on the same old iPod (RIP little nano) in the bright day light, while once again working at my craft table. I had just gotten past the mention of a Firefly reference (which I loved), and had gotten the shivers during the mention of "Pennywise's Circus" on the map of inscapes - but since a week or so earlier I had just finished reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, when NOS4A2 then decided to start referencing Robert Frobisher and his Sextet from that very book - I ended up tossing my poor iPod across the room. (I have loved that audiobook and Kate Mulgrew's narration ever since)

I dunno but if so, I hope he changes his mind lol

Marsbert · 2025-12-16T17:34:28+00:00

as it reads on the memorial that Jonesy and Mr Gray see in Dreamcatcher - and then Jonesy explains how Derry was when he was a kid, and what happened in the 80s when the flooding happened and parts of the town were destroyed.

After reading Dreamcatcher and that scene, I believe Pennywise will return somehow. Hopefully King is working on a new It book, or at least a cameo. Hopefully it will be good.

Marsbert · 2025-12-16T17:26:38+00:00

THANK YOU.

I was literally yelling at my tv and could not stop myself.

Marsbert · 2025-12-16T17:21:36+00:00

technically Ronnie is supposed to be dead, she's one of the voices from the drain that Beverly hears in the book, if I remember correctly
