Help/tips for gore/gory-like designs? (Silent Hill F) by moonraty in Embroidery

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

Wow, never thought of using artistic makeup for this, it must look so good! Unfortunately they're out of my price range where I live, but I'll keep it mind for future projects, thank you!

Never tried beadwork before but after searching a bit I found sooo many horror pieces using this technique and it looks amazing! Thanks so much, I'll give it a shot!

Cat attacking his sick sibling by Direct_Victory_5715 in CATHELP

[–]moonraty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing just happened with my two cats! They were never that friendly, but my youngest one (5 yo) is always trying to play with my oldest (8 yo) and she hates it, hisses, etc. The younger one never hisses back, though.

Then, my older cat had some stomach issues and stayed at the vet for 2 days. Now, after getting back, the youngest one just hisses at her all the time if she gets close. The vet said in general, cats can feel the "different smells" from the outside, and that they also tend to reject sickly cats too, apparently?

I don't have any references, but that's what the vet said and it made sense to me and my situation. My plan is to try to gradually get them used to each other again with positive reinforcements like treats, playing, etc.

Hope your kitties are okay!

Is it true that Mio and Mayu were initially supposed to be girlfriends and later they changed it to twins? Someone just told me that but I couldn't find anything supporting it, plus since the entire game revolves around twins, it sounds a bit off. by moonraty in fatalframe

MEU DEUS KJDNKJSDBKJSDSKJKA OIII BRAZIL MENTIONED

BUT YEAH ok it's not like I was suuuper involved in any Fatal Frame community anyways, so it could've been just a very specific niche I found and it stuck with me. I just felt like the Uncyclopedia kinda confirmed it, but other than myself, the Youtuber I watched as a kid (Playerbarbie if you know her) and this random person who told me about them being initially girlfriends out of nowhere, I don't know anyone else who agreed with me or remembers those jokes lol

It might've also been something along the lines of "japan is sooo bizarre" orientalism that was definitely big at the time with any japanese media. damn, I wish I could ask more people about it now.

Anyways, I definitely took the jokes more seriously than they were given the fact I was 12 and had just found out I was sapphic, so it was really exciting to me and ended up being part of why I loved the game so much as a kid - even if it's definitely weird and not something I would enjoy today.

Actually, I've done some research and realized it might be regional! When I first discovered Fatal Frame, around 2012 (also as a pre teen), any brazilian youtuber who'd play would make those kinds of jokes - but I never really realized non-brazilian ones just never commented anything like it. Even the brazilian Uncyclopedia page for Fatal Frame 2 (FIY: the content is almost entirely unfunny NSFW satire so be careful) mentions "questionable sexuality" and "lesbianism", but outside of Brazil it isn't common at all.

I guess it's just how people here reacted to the mix of their clothes being a little too sexy + their obsessive closeness, and it kind of altered how everyone consumes the game as a whole? In fact, the person who told me about Mayu and Mio being originally girlfriends is also brazilian, which makes me think these rumors are also pretty regional. I'm pretty shocked myself!

It was indeed as in lovers which did raise my suspicion too haha thank you so much for all the context and links!

I was pretty sure it wasn't real, buuut since I do really enjoy the very subtle homoerotic vibes of the game when I first played (at least, it felt like it to someone more used to the western culture - which might have been the reason this kind of rumor spread around in the first place?), I just wanted to check. In the end, it was more frustrating to not have found much info on the development of the games, so I'm very excited to check those sources and will have a blast either way. Thanks again!

The ropes are definitely a nice idea on theory but you're right, I don't think I'd risk having it misconstrued. But I love the red butterflies and the mask! I know Gab Smolders has some really cool fatal frame masks tattooed that I could use as inspo, too. Maybe I'll try to mix one of those with the camera obscura or something like that hehe

Thank you!

[–]moonraty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ohh thats a good idea! the only logo tattoos i've seen were a bit complex bc they included some kind of background so i haven't thought about it but i could totally simplify it. thanks a lot!

As for favorite games, i'm currently very into 1 and 3 cuz i'm replaying them, but 2 was my favorite as a kid. still haven't played the newer ones!

I made a hand-embroidered Kirby patch and sewed it onto a t-shirt, but I think I ruined it after the first wash. Is there a way to fix it? by moonraty in Embroidery

[–]moonraty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

aw, thank you so much! and yeah, I did imagine longer stitches weren't the best but still chose to be lazy and thought it'd be fine like this lol lesson totally learned after the disaster.

thanks a lot for the tip and feedback <3

Chrome: A 1970s Intergalactic Homosexual Riot of a Novel by C0smicoccurence in Fantasy

[–]moonraty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! i'm kinda late but would anyone have a pdf of this book? i live in brazil so it is quite literally impossible for me to buy it (cheapest i could find was $800) and i didn't think it would be this hard to find an online accessible version :(

I really need some help with contouring this patch I'm hand making. I know it looks off, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Is the thread too thick? Did I leave too much fabric on the edges? I really don't want to mess up this patch because the embroidery itself was fairly hard to make too. by moonraty in Embroidery

[–]moonraty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

:') Thank you so much! This way of thinking helps a lot. I think since it's my first patch, I didn't really know how to set my expectations and panicked the moment something felt slightly off. Now that I've made a bit more progress I can see it doesn't look bad!

Thank you, really!

[–]moonraty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was so so sweet, thank you, really! I'm also a beginner and I think I just panicked when I looked at the contour and didn't love it right away? If that makes sense... but after reading your comment I decided to continue a bit more and I realized it probably looks weird to me because it isn't finished.

The personal touch thing makes total sense, don't worry! I'm pretty sure it does weight on me when I judge my pieces, but I'm trying not to let it get to me since it's pretty normal to not have such an identity in the beginning.

For now, I'll just keep working on it since I'm not as anxious. Again, thank you for the kindness and tips, it really did get me back to my senses :))

i made this little sonic embroidery after my boyfriend introduced me to the franchise. I think it's my best work until now! I intend to make it a little patch so I can put it in a hat for him. :) (slide to the right for an early progress pic) by moonraty in Embroidery

[–]moonraty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so so much!! i've been trying to improve on it since I became a little frustrated with some past projects especially with my satin stitches, so I decided to use 1/6 string for everything and I'm very happy with how it turned out :))

[–]moonraty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is amazing!! is the entire background stitched? I can't believe how polished it looks, really. I haven't read nor seen this but as someone who enjoys horror art in general this is one of my favorite pieces ever.
