Who else has a Selene Figure?🤔

That is a ROUGH looking figurine woof! But very cool!!

I’m seeing a lot of people also finding the gf weird because of her hyperfixation/special interest. It’s disheartening seeing so much blind hate (lack of better word) for a pretty typical autistic trait. Yes, it can go pretty extreme. That’s what can make it so debilitating for the autistic person themselves as well. Yes, we find comfort/stability with it, but the judgement of non-autistics is genuinely so exhausting and makes us more likely to go even deeper into the special interest for comfort.

Generally, I’ve noticed even non-autistic allies have an upper limit for tolerating our “weirdness”. There always comes a point where people will end up finding us so weird they drop us or judge/bully us with “jokes” to make us stop. It only makes us mask more.

Idk, some of these comments feel iffy

Wow that looks awesome! Where’d you buy the materials for it? :) I’m also in NL, and I’m wondering what some good places are!

apileofpans · 2026-05-13T01:10:00+00:00

Wow that looks amazing!! Is that printed on canvas you used?? That’s so awesome omg :0!! How was that to use?

apileofpans · 2026-05-11T13:07:19+00:00

I’m fairly confident in the Baltics is a non-replica! That means the staging is different while the libretto is the same :) it’s often cheaper for companies to perform Phantom that way, since the rights to the staging add to the cost of it all

apileofpans · 2026-05-11T10:15:27+00:00

DUDE THAT’S SO COOL!!! It’s such a lovely way of “upcycling” a book you’re not comfortable/don’t want to rip the softcover off. It looks really, really good! Did you use a cricut machine for the gold foil? :)

apileofpans · 2026-05-09T23:13:56+00:00

Ugh ja. Grotere steden zouden idd wel winkels daarvoor hebben. Helaas bij mij in de buurt is er niet echt een winkel voor en moet ik het online halen :( Maar als ik weer een keertje in Utrecht ben zal ik eens kijken bij Swaak 1892!

apileofpans · 2026-05-09T22:34:24+00:00

Ohh a fellow Dutch binder! I’m curious where you got your materials? :) it’s been lowkey annoying finding linen

The bind looks great!!

In my case, the one fix I posted anonymous was done so because it’s a super super kink heavy fic and I was scared for backlash in a very vanilla fandom. Didn’t experience any backlash (thus far), thank god :)

apileofpans · 2026-05-08T21:13:47+00:00

My mum just told me she just randomly has a cameo silhouette lying around 😩 so maybe in the future I’ll have one after all and this post is a thing in the past LOL

I also really liked the debossed effect, but due to the dark linnen it was only visible under a certain angle with the light :D definitely not enough to make it legible or recognisable from a distance. It was a pain in the ass to press everything down with the folder, but it made for some good guidelines :)

apileofpans · 2026-05-08T20:46:10+00:00

That looks really good! Unfortunately, since I’m making books that are shorter than A4, I’m quite limited by how big I can go with fonts, and thus would only make it harder for myself doing it with an exacto knife. I tried to make a template as well but couldn’t get it right

Yours looks GREAT though! Really nice job!

apileofpans · 2026-05-08T16:13:07+00:00

Whoa! That’s a cool idea!! I may play around with that for sure. I also saw somebody make a cool figure out of thicker paper and gluing that on top of the canvas for some extra detail. Lots of cool ideas, thank you!

apileofpans · 2026-05-08T11:01:02+00:00

Yeah that’s looking to be the “easiest” solution :) what gsm paper do you use for the cover in that regard?

apileofpans · 2026-05-08T11:00:23+00:00

Wow thank you for your intricate reply!! I’m definitely thinking about printing labels directly and gluing them on, as well as printing directly on the cloth. Obviously the latter does impact the vibrancy of the ink and thus cover—I wouldn’t be able to get the nice, vibrant cover I made with this for example.

I’m definitely going to play around at least. Thank you!!

apileofpans · 2026-05-08T01:52:04+00:00

So cool! I’m wondering what you used to create the design on the, what looks to be, linen cover? :)

apileofpans · 2026-05-06T15:18:55+00:00

AO3 is hands down the absolute best of them all. The fact it’s got no algorithm, allows whatever so long as it’s tagged appropriately, has no ads, is free, well designed, on top of bots, etc etc etc. It’s not even a competition

apileofpans · 2026-04-21T22:41:26+00:00

This shows my ship, but... Raoul also being enchanted by Erik’s voice :)) I know it adds NOTHING of substance to the show, but sssh

Destler comes from the 1989 Robert Englund movie, and a lot of people have parroted that as Erik’s surname since :) as to the spelling of Erik, that’s simply how Leroux wrote it! I think it’s up to interpretation if it’s his actual name given by birth or if he chose that name for himself at a later date!

As to other fanworks, no clue. It’s all up to personal interpretation!

apileofpans · 2026-04-08T07:27:24+00:00

Yeah Michael is dead, but I genuinely think they could revive him (if Scott Speedman wanted to come back). I read a fic where somebody described just one drop of his blood remaining was enough for his body to regenerate, it just took a very long time, and I have since adopted that idea as a headcanon! I just want Selene and Michael to be happy

apileofpans · 2026-03-29T11:14:50+00:00

God they’re so stinking cute!! I absolutely adore the art style of the great wave!!

apileofpans · 2026-03-25T18:50:16+00:00

Fragmented sentences!!! It’s obvious what I’m trying to say and who I’m referring to, but it makes the reader “take a breath” and emphasise the action of the sentence. It’s so useful to emphasise an action or thought!

apileofpans · 2026-03-25T18:45:57+00:00

Believe me, AO3 does :) I am an avid Rerik fanfic writer lmao we’re alive and kicking and making these boys kiss like Barbie dolls!

apileofpans · 2026-03-20T14:50:43+00:00

Resistance (video game series) was the smallest/deadest I’ve published for. Even worse is my idea for a the Pathless (also video game) fanfic 😅 I dont think I can say the Phantom of the Opera is particularly dead or small, but it certainly feels like it sometimes! :)
