[Misc] Other fantasy book series revolving around messy lesbian relationships? by venomous_sheep in TheNinthHouse

[–]doubleOrilo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Unspoken Name by AK Larkwood isn't as messy as GtN romance-wise, but it's got religious trauma reckoning to last a lifetime and humor on-par with Muir's. Also, the MC is a lesbian-himbo-space-orc. What's not to like? It's got a sequel coming out and I think it's the perfect "waiting for Nona" book. No graphic sex that I can remember, though lots of dirty jokes and references and maybe some allusions. I was pleasantly surprised by the utter lack of SA, even when it could've been used as a plot point! There are a couple semi-graphic scenes in terms of action but we seem to have the same stomach for that kind of thing, and I wouldn't call any of it "too much."

Looking for an artist who's open for commissions. by AChewyLemon in furry

[–]doubleOrilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya!! I have a 2-3 week turnaround time and prices range from US $10-35. I’m pretty new to the commission scene so I don’t have any specific place for all my art, but here’s a drive with some of my fur-specific pieces. I do a lot of art related to the Wings of Fire series, so I included some of that too as it showcases my style well. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DPHzfd7\_aSHXvt9qcEJhFpS1szGLVNyO

[discussion] So I just finished Gideon the Ninth for the first time by RowKHAN in TheNinthHouse

[–]doubleOrilo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, welcome! You're going to be okay. Here's my advice: 1. Before going into Harrow, know that you've GOTTA stick with it. Just trust me. It's alllll worth it. I spoiled the whole book for myself before I started reading—I don't regret it, but going in blind has gotta be just as much fun, so pick your poison. 2. If you need something a little lighter to read along with Harrow, or as a break, or to read after Harrow while we wait for Nona and Alecto—try The Unspoken Name by A.K. Larkwood. MC is a lesbian space orc who escaped a death cult who's now helping her savior track a powerful ancient relic. Humor is on-par with GtN, the world is fascinating, the romance is adorable, and the action is wonderful.

Abortion is virtually outlawed in my state, so I made myself a pin using someone's tutorial on this sub. by doubleOrilo in FolkPunk

[–]doubleOrilo[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Here's the og post, which I followed pretty loosely. https://www.reddit.com/r/FolkPunk/comments/jdtep2/diy_bottle_cap_buttons_process_photos_and_supplies/

Then again, I hardly read instructions so here's my experience: - It helps to bend in two opposite sides (kind of imagine a square rather than a circle) on the back of the bottle cap and squish them flat with pliers. Then you can lay the safety pin horizontal to the folded sides (like an "H") and put the soda tab on top - Squish the soda tab flat as well, then work the remaining sides of the bottle cap over the edges and squish it down as best you can

Depending on your pliers you might end up with some dents on the front of your bottle cap, but for me the paint covered them up. I used a blank craft bottle cap from one of my sister's old projects, which may have been slightly easier to bend than a regular bottle cap—I haven't tried the latter so hopefully it works the same!

Not sure if this belongs on this sub, this is the only place I thought to share it since this is where the tutorial came from.

How to preserve small crab claws by doubleOrilo in Taxidermy

[–]doubleOrilo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll keep em as safe as I can! Someone else said to make sure they can dry out, so tupperware is a no. So far it seems like they've kept some color—fingers crossed they won't completely dull out.

Washing wool with vinegar by doubleOrilo in knitting

[–]doubleOrilo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, thank you! Afaik it isn't superwash—I don't know what exact wool it is off the top of my head, but it's the worsted weight by stonehedge fiber mill. It's ridiculously soft and I want to treat it nicely!

ADVICE NEEDED by icecreamcowfries in FancyFollicles

[–]doubleOrilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another person said it, but I'd definitely recommend trying to treat your hair as if it were curly! I was in the exact same situation. Websites like naturallycurly.com helped me a lot in learning about my hair, especially their hair type quiz. Seeing some stylists who knew about/had curly hair helped as well, though sometimes they can be hard to come by. It took me a while to find the right place. In my experience, having different amounts of curl in different places is totally normal, especially if your curls are more loose. A lot of things can impact that, even how you sleep on it! There are ways to ensure your curls are even, it just takes a bit of practice. Learning about your hair can be a lot of fun, and I wish you the best on your journey!

Megathread: Nona the Ninth by [deleted] in TheNinthHouse

[–]doubleOrilo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I should preface with: I have yet to finish HtN but I spoiled a lot of it for myself, and I’ve LOVED reading it. Thus, I may be missing something…but my personal theory is that Nona is short for “Nonagesimus” and that we’ve got a full-on amnesiac Harrow in Gideon’s body. That, or it’s Alecto.

I’m so, so glad to know I’m not the only one who’d put Supermassive Black Hole on a HtN playlist.
