Whenever I saw something very well-executed but spectacularly stupid - like a shitpost meme drawing, an animation with the dumbest plot fathomable, an impressively well-written piece of fanfiction where two minor characters try to fix a blender and end up building a car, or a really catchy song dedicated to getting one's dick stuck in a toaster - I used to wonder "who has this kind of time in their hands?" before I realised that the idiotic things made by someone with enough drive, skill and talent to go pro if they wanted to probably already is a professional. If they could be doing far more serious, but equally demanding works for a living, they probably do.
The question isn't "who has this much free time to make something like this?", but "what the hell were they procrastinating?"
you heard the ad boys, get to it
Stoll working on the third house scarf necklace. But I've been thinking of the other houses,
I still don't have all the material. I'm missing
Large Silver ring ringing for the 6th and the 7th house, which I have already ordered.
Size 6 frosted clear toho beads and size 6 opaque white matte sead beads for the base of the 8ths tenticals
Bone beads for the 9th
More size 11 wisteria lined crystal toho beads for the 3rd.
But I have the third and the first house with plenty of materials for now.
Also I think I finally decided on an idea for the ninth. Harrow and I are both nuroatypical. Harrow is autistic and I am adhd so we are not the same type of nuroatypical but one of the common overlaps between the two is STIMing and I think that's what I want to do for the ninth house. A necklace of mismatched materials and textures that allows the wearer to fight with it. Some of the beads will be carved bone. Other will be 3d peyote stitch. Some others will be metal. I want someone that feels scavenged by an adhd gremlin from other necklaces. I want it to be a Comfort under stress
ran a fool’s errand at work today
im on the council of “buy myself a little treat.” And buddy, the motion passes 5-1
All the beads I ordered are finaly here so I spent a few hours with my bed covered with containers of sead beads like a dragon on her hord.
Beads make me very happy.

Instructions (sort of)
This necklass is made of two ply herringbone stitch. If you do not know how to do herringbone stich for beading. Then GTS because apparently I can't post outside links to tumblr. But it is very easy and thier are some very good tutorials out there
When you need to attach the rings add 7 more rows of beads. Then bend the work around finding ring and use herringbone stich to sew the work back onto itself in a loop.
For sizing
Figure out your desired length and double that for the total length.
Add the first ring then add the second ring a quarter of the length. Bead till the finished length then add the bar.
Here is a picture of the proportion of mine
If you have any questions please let me know I'm happy to clarify. I've never tied to make instructions before.
I am really interested in how many people who developed a crush on Palamedes Sextus also developed a crush on Gale DeKarios... For science. Clearly this isn't just for self justification.
Propaganda
Carmen Sevilla (La fierecilla domada/La mégère apprivoisée, La Venganza, King of Kings)— One of the few spanish actresses to really make it in Hollywood. She worked opposite Charlton Heston in the 1970s and reportedly slapped him but that is past the cut-off so you can look it up for yourselves. There's also rumors that Frank Sinatra had a bit of a crush on her and asked her out a couple of times but she rejected him. The woman was just messy as hell in general and an absolute icon. Bless.
Simone Simon (Cat People, La Bête Humaine, The Devil and Daniel Webster, The Curse of the Cat People)— If she turned in to a panther and ate me I would be fine with that
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Simone Simon:
so so so so cute
one of simone simon's best remembered movies is cat people, one of jacques tourneur's great b-horror movies that's secretly a sensitive and tender examination of otherness, seriously i cry every time i watch it a short excerpt from cat people
She’s maybe not super well known to a lot of people but holy hell is she a stunner. I literally have her Cat People poster on my wall - she is amazing in that film, playing this tragic character (please go watch Cat People it’s this amazing tragic story of a foreign woman being caught up in a toxic relationship with a man who doesn’t believe her, plus cats). She’s so beautiful!! Look at her!!
they should make it easier
it's time again for the ✨#ADHDCosmicTakeover!✨ my comic this year is about pinballing helplessly between interests and the frustrating feeling of being a "jack of all trades, master of none" (but who said i have to be a "master" of anything anyway? fuck off!)
thank you so much to dreamadoodles for organizing this year! pls check out the tag to see more comics from other contributors 🌠
why? because my brain said so. that's why
