Sighs.
Im back
Au where ford actually kept track of Stan a little bit more than in canon. I’m talking the man would cast spells and ask the mail box “is my brother alive” or “where is my brother”
But of course because I love myself some angst, Fords questions were worded in such a way that he ONLY knew his brother was alive—but being alive doesn’t equal being okay. He gets his brothers location, but being realistic do you think Ford would think that he’s traveling so much because he’s running away or because he’s successful and LIKES to travel. “Oh look Stanley’s taking a vacation in Colombia. Although that’s a long vacations it’s been months… he must be pretty rich thanks to his products!” (Because remember ford had seen Stan’s commercials, so ford follows his line of logic to be that Stan is pretty successful.)
Of course one day Ford finally asks a slightly different question, one that crumples the narrative he created in his mind, “How is Stanley doing?”
And that’s when he learns that his brother is currently being transported to a hospital. That his brother is on the verge of death due to malnutrition, hypothermia, and because of an infected untreated wound. That his brother hasn’t been okay the last few years.
He learns that he asked all the wrong questions.
Finished
When a fic doesn’t fit my head canons but it’s well-written
Ever-hunger Demon (separate frames under the cut)
Task: Cut cucumbers
Task: Failed My headcanon is Bill is an incredible glutton and actually eats at every opportunity, as if it's just like almost constant hunger, he can't do much about it, and sometimes it's hard to wait for a full meal when there's a whole bowl of goodies (also if he doesn't eat - he just won't pay attention to hunger, you know, that's how it works in real life too!)
I also think he's a good cook if he really wants to cook, as if sometimes enjoying food is such hedonism indulging gluttony, and sometimes he's a dirty feral pushing something that has long since died down his throat
And I think Melody is literally 1 of 2 responsible adults who generally cares about eating properly in this house. The second adult is Stan. The rest are either lazy, or inexperienced, or who forget to eat at all xD
i loved seeing the moment of stone realising he was going to stick with robotnik (─‿‿─) could we see the moment ROBOTNIK realises stone is here for good?
Robotnik isn't used to people being happy to see him
Do you have any recommendations on how to learn bookbinding? It looks super cool, but I don't know where to start.
It depends on the type of bookbinding you want to get into, my focus is primarily on hardcover case bound books, so if that is what you are keen on, here are some resources that I found incredibly useful while learning:
YouTube
DAS bookbinding has a whole bunch of really detailed, professional tutorials that are incredibly useful. He covers multiple types of binds and techniques and they are all very easy to follow. (I always laugh when I watch his videos tho because he’s Aussie like me and he has the EXACT same shitty tiles in his workroom that I have in my house.)
Sea Lemon does bookbinding amongst other crafts, and while her videos are shorter and less in depth, they are very friendly for beginners and offer alternatives if you don’t have all the tools/equipment at home
Omgreylo is great for if you are doing fanbinding, she also has videos on typesetting, which is something you’ll want to learn too if you are planning on fanbinding. Her videos are also very chill and sometimes I’ll just watch them to relax because I’m a nerd.
Ingenious Designs has some really good videos on some more advanced skills like edge gilding and working with leather bound books. He’s also really charismatic so his videos are fun and informative.
I’m probably forgetting a few, but those channels have all been super useful. The other thing that I do and highly recommend is just browsing the bookbinding and fanbinding tags on tumblr, reddit and instagram to see what other people are doing. A lot of people (including myself when I finally remember to actually take pictures and record the process) will post progress photos alongside the finished project and will talk about the process. Most people are quite happy to answer any questions you might have about their projects too so don’t be afraid to ask.
Also the most important piece of advice I can give, if you are serious about bookbinding, GET YOURSELF SOME SHORT-GRAIN PAPER. It makes all the difference in terms of quality, ease of use, and durability.
Anyways if anyone else has any other resources or tips they think are useful, please feel free to add!
This one really popped off on Twitter …
Even anteaters have fun...

He likes the drama
Yall ever think about how Ford had to relearn how to be a normal human being after 30 years of isolation
