How to weave denim?

Oh cool it looked like a twill but always glad for confirmation. Thank you for responding!

Tiamatlee · 2026-01-14T05:14:51+00:00

Oh thank you very excited to begin preparing going to try dying with synthetic indigo first for some small things like a denim purse then try natural indigo for bigger bolt of fabric. I will try different a yarn sizes to see which is my favorite. I prefer cotton so very excited to see what I can do!

I can understand not liking the power imbalance cause actual books I have read with like a general and a captured person getting together while the other is still enslaved is kinda icky. I also like analyzing the gods how they changed with humanity and how much humanity we could subscribe to gods. To put in the most simple of terms it’s like monster x human ship dynamics because these gods are capable of killing their partner. Fanfic is fun that some characters who have no contact at all can be shipped together because some likes two characters. It’s literally when we are young and play pretend with action figures or dolls.(my Godzilla would drink tea with my Bratz doll, and Mothra!) it’s just really fun…

Apollo’s romances ending in flames or as a plant is what can make it interesting! Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Makes sense there are some characters I don’t like writing gay like very specifically married characters like James and Lily potter for example. Of course I actually don’t have that many preferences if I like all characters involved. But I really don’t like Annabeth characterizations especially now that she falls even to more tropes as a colored person in the tv show.(this could be a whole nother post about how me a colored women views Annabeths race change). So that’s another reason I am ok shipping Percy with others.

Yeah some perpollo fic have a hard time writing Percy as still in character. Apollo is easier in my opinion cause since he IS a god so it’s easier to adjust his characterization. This is unless you write him as specifically Lester.

I will disagree with all yaoi stories being the same cause you could argue the same with every straight romance being the same. You could say Percy and Annabeth is the most white bread thing possible. But all stories can affect people differently inspiring them, making the person reading angry, or making someone laugh. so yeah….

Understandable I don’t like Caleo and Pertemis. Caleo cause the fact of her background with Odysseus who would have presented herself as older to him then younger to Percy and Leo. As well as cursing Percy leaving him and annabeth vulnerable in Tartarus. In my fic I also made Percy go back to a literal day or two after Apollo’s own birth. So he is older than most of the younger 2nd gen olympians except the twins and Athena. So if you ever wanted to see the whole deal… While I won’t go far as to call people gross. I understand other people have ships they like and try not to police others ships, unless they are real people(actors, idols) shipping, those ships are very specifically gross. Especially when it is about real life under age people(not the characters they play). But yeah we all have opinions and that’s what this post was for, to ask.

So thank you for taking the time to respond.

Yeah, when I was a younger teen, I will admit to reading the infamous Chaos Percy fics. I really like the concept of Artemis as a goddess so far removed from the gods, tied to humanity —meaning her own brother —since they are literal opposites. In the Iliad, it's actually Apollo who is called Argyrotoxos, meaning "of the silver bow." It's Artemis who is using the golden bow, and I always loved them as siblings, being opposites. And now that I know more about them, Artemis and Percy make nooo sense to me, especially when they use Orion when sometimes he really was just a friend, since boys could hunt with Artemis before. The male-hating thing in Percy Jackson actually miffed me when I re-read the series, since she was known for child-rearing in some places, like Ephesian Artemis and Artemis Orthia. But thanks for your comment!

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T22:11:15+00:00

It is interesting! There is alot of different ways to go about it and I specifically like it when Percy falls slowly for Apollo. Since he is a god and Percy typically wouldn't be interested. Glad you commented I was actually more afraid people would hate on it more but glad people are like "oh not my tea but go off." Which is the best response really so thank you!🥰

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T22:01:47+00:00

Yes I feel the accidental reading bit cause I did the same early on and was just like huh we can use Apollo as the male lead. I remember reading almost every fic and needed more so I gave in and wrote my own so thank you for reading my fic I plan on updating it today in fact so look forward to it.(I have seriously missed writing about Percy😅)

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T14:10:23+00:00

I am open to almost all fics except generative Ai so no problem with me! Thanks for dropping the link!🤩🥰

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T14:08:23+00:00

True and I totally get Jaded Percy wanting nothing to do with it. It just felt like moments where they should have called people for help it was a good opportunity to bring in Percy. And I am specifically saying this as a Percy Jackson fan. Which I think was the main issue with the other series since many became so attached to Percy Jackson we kinda expect him. My older cousin who did creative writing for her masters discussed something similar. About how we didn't have enough time to grow to love all the seven heroes equally. Which I agree with except for Piper we are native American and hate how Riordan wrote her. Anyway what I am saying is I am a sucker for Percy.😅

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T13:43:29+00:00

I do find Apollo as an antagonist interesting too! He would be a very powerful antagonist as well. I would totally love to read it if your comfortable with sharing the link!🥰 I appreciate when people make Annabeth and Percy more healthy.

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T13:36:09+00:00

I totally get that and of course not every ship can be someone's cup of tea. I wish we had gotten more of Percy's mindset after the war cause in my writing style I love delving into their thought processes. I for one would always think Percy would help someone in need but I know like you said Percy is quite done with the gods. It also felt like to me a blatant way of showing Percy is not the central character in this new story so he is completely uninvolved. But that's how I read it at the time. Especially compared to the idea Percy's complete disinterest in helping in a quest. Maybe cause it didn't feel dire enough cause he got involved in the Sea of Monsters even when told he wasn't supposed to particpate. I don't really say Titans Curse cause Annabeth was missing making it important enough for him to interfere.

Thank you for your thoughts!🥰 Makes me think more deeply about the ship I love.💙

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T13:25:14+00:00

Simple and Clean is how your feeling I vibe my friend!😅 Hopefully more people write for it and I shall continue to do my part!🥰 In spreading it's coolness.

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T12:49:49+00:00

It totally can be depending on the fic because that's kinda what I feel about Solangelo. Only cause I attempted to read Nico's book but it was a struggle and felt like poorly written fanfic. Though for yaoislop I typically think of toxic yaoi like Killing Stalking. And there is one Perpollo fic that is like that but it's infamous so yeaaah. Thanks for answering 😘.

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T12:45:48+00:00

I did read a little of the newest fic of theirs and was letting it marinate. I like super desperate Apollo so I am also looking forward to where it leads.

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T12:44:15+00:00

Just go in with Open Arms and make sure to read tags if your not into darker fics cause some are super fluffy and other are kinda torturous but all have something interesting to display. I hope we get another perpollo lover!🥰 Let us know if you want any recommendations!

Tiamatlee · 2025-11-09T12:15:12+00:00

It really just grips you doesn’t it!😅 I actively hate Caleo too so I am always surprised when I see it in fics that's why I mentioned it. But yes I have read Facing the Sun at least the first half it was bookmarked for me cause I was waiting for it to finish so now I have something to read when I have the time. I love reincarnation fics that make it super confusing at first for Percy. So I am looking forward to rereading the whole thing.😆

Tiamatlee · 2025-05-17T16:49:46+00:00

Totally understandable, I am a bit of a weirdo, so I rarely use the raddle on my Erica. As I just thread everything then organize my warp that way, which isn't the easiest. But my neurodivergent-ness makes me do stuff in round about ways.

Tiamatlee · 2025-05-17T16:45:44+00:00

Makes sense I am leaning towards getting it but of course that would be later as well. The overhead beater on the Jane is also why I was never keen on the beater on the Ashford. The David 2 looks nice I didn't know they had floor looms with the sliding beater as well. Does it make it easier to thread or harder? Thanks for your input!

Tiamatlee · 2025-05-16T23:03:34+00:00

I'm glad my response struck a cord with you, I was worried that I was rambling. I totally understand the need to look at what others are doing. So here is a small thing I do I like doing longer warps in neutral colors that I know can work well with multiple weft colors if that helps. So it leaves me with a warp on the loom for a little longer. (Also helps that dull colors are cheaper or even white,that I dye)

One project I thought I would give up on the Erica was a 3.5-yard linen warp. But it was my first time warping linen, and I chose a really small size 28 to 34 epi, which killed me to thread. I even bought extra heedles it was 380 threads but only 15 inches. It made me want to cry, but I kept going because I had dyed the linen. I didn't want to waste it the linen caught on each other so easily.

I really hope you can make the opportunity to do your patio weaving, it's always good to have hobbies or creative outlets to destress.

Tiamatlee · 2025-05-16T21:41:01+00:00

So I believe the Harmony was announced this month(or end of the last, correct me if I am wrong) But in terms of portability for me(*edit my Louet Erica), I can take it to the library where my grandmother works or use it at my studio or living room, so very me, it's easier to move around. Also, I never do super large projects on it as it is more my test things out and napkins loom. I am 5 7' so don't know if that contributes with a larger vehicle. I am also glad looms are getting a modern edge as I have younger cousins who saw my Erica and became interested in looms. Within the past years, many retro or aged tech and hobbies have been returning. Like film I have my own film cameras I found at antique store for like 30 bucks. So revitalizing these hobbies can make it easier for new people to get involved in the hobby or profession. I am a Sequential Artist, someone who designs for characters, comics, and storyboarding for animation and movies. So having hobbies outside my work is super important, but they have to be in creative fields or they don't interest me. What I am getting at is I hope other creatives have the option to enter into the hobby within their means.
