oh actually !! talking more abt the lesbian thing
"im in lesbian with my gf" is SO good and a lot of how i feel too. im bigender : guy + butch dyke and the butch dyke part is oftentimes only relevant when im in a relationship w a girl vc then its allnushy lesbian feelings and THATS my only real connection to womanhood
and ! interestingly ! i dunno if you also feel the same as anon (im so so sleepy, reading comprehension has gone slightly down) (wait fuck was it even an anon i cant check now) but i actually feel weirder calling myself sapphic than i do lesbian bc i feel like *sapphic* has more feminine inplications on my gender ! so im explicitly a lesbian but Not sapphic, bc w lesbian i feel a connect to butch history and such
anyways solidarity in um. transmasculinity and liking women in a queer way and also very comolicated feelings abt gender sexuality and labels. this is very rambly but i am Excited and Tired djdbdk
Hiiii hiiii to answer your initial ask: thank you for enjoying Princess AJ :33333 <3 "Shaking it around like a snowglobe" made me laugh.
I SOOOOO feel you, my lesbian label is truly one of my few connections to womanhood lol. My romantic feelings are so disgustingly mushy over-the-top lesbian nonsense. For a while I used lesbian as a sort of gender label as well and tbh that's still 20% accurate. Such an interesting label, I like when it's used or interpreted in such an abstract, all-encompassing way. The way I love is lesbian! Im in lesbian with my gf! I'm not a lesbian for the way I'm attracted to women, but just like... the way the attraction feels? The vibes??? Does that make any sense??? Probably not, I've had a headache all day lol I'm yapping nonsense. A million other lesbians who are much smarter than me have put this nuanced feeling into words much better than I ever could.
Mefeels that lesbian does have less of a feminine connotation just cause the relationship between gender and being a lesbian is sooo unique and interesting, no matter where you land on the gender specturm. I don't think I've ever used the sapphic label for myself... maybe I also associate it with a more "fem" energy. I don't call myself wlw either, I am a dogboything loving women lol.
Anywaaaays thank you for sharing!!! Love being able to discuss this sort of thing :3
Part 3 of a felted penguin tutorial
Once you have the flippers in your selected mold, use the needle to stuff it in there (note: I used a hard surface to take the picture, but do NOT do it on a hard surface. It won’t tighten it, at least not well, and it might break your needle. Use foam underneath, or any other soft surface you don’t mind getting holes in).
Switch back and forth from either side to make sure both sides of the flipper is tightening the same.
Make sure to keep a bit of loose felt at the ends of the flippers for attaching them in the next step.
Next merge the flippers with the sides of the penguin. This step is pretty simple! This is where I usually place the flippers, but you can place them anywhere you want really.
Here’s what we have now :3
Faceless, but looking pretty neat!
Let’s fix its facelessness. Take a bit of orange felt (I didn’t take a picture of how much I cut… whoopsies!) and place it just above the neckline. This is where you can choose your penguin’s expression. I’m giving her just a regular smile, but it can be anything you want!
I know it looks weird, but it’ll look better soon I promise.
Next take a bit more of your orange felt and wad it up in the middle of the expression you just made. I tighten it there, but if you find it easier you can create its oval shape before putting it on.
Shorten it as much as you can, and try to keep it between the line of orange felt you placed there before!
We’re almost done, should be able to finish in the next part!
some of you could learn a thing or two from the giant rat that makes all of da rules
It’s my tall chihuahua’s 7th birthday today!
reblog this rat until staff gets involved
Uh, realized i haven't talked about Killian yet on this blog, so ima yap about him rq for context. Backstory here, there's a TLDR so you can skip lol:
Basically, he's an EPF traitor. Formerly a tactical agent that specialized in the water, he lived for danger and a challenge; to him, saving the island from threats was the greatest challenge he could overcome, and this was why he joined the EPF in the first place. Due to his headstrong attitude, him and JPG found themselves partnering on more and more missions, and a friendship quickly formed. Guy took the skies, and K took the seas. They were inseparable... well, except for a minor divide in beliefs.
While JPG is generally very by the book, Killian didn't exactly agree with the EPF's rule to refrain from using violence against suspects unless absolutely necessary; it didn't bode well with his short temper. He was reprimanded countless times for a few broken beaks, though JPG always tried to stand up for him. That was, until a certain goof started to get closer to Guy. Initially, K and Guy agreed... Rookie was an idiot, and didn't belong in the agency. But the more Guy got to know him, the more he began to grow a soft spot for the Rookie... so, the more K bullied Rookie, the further a wedge was driven in the relationship of the two tactical agents.
The last straw came when Killian was reprimanded once again by the Director, and he found out that JPG had been the one to report him. Rookie had, even if he didn't know it, helped Guy to realize how much of a bad influence K was.
K was furious. By the time the Future Party rolled around, he had reached his boiling point, and decided to do something drastic... in the form of a giant robot.
TLDR, him and JPG were partners, K constantly broke EPF rules, Rookie helped Guy see he's not a good guy, K started giving classified info to UP10K, lost his badge, and became a hitman to satisfy his need for danger / try and save the island in his own way.
He sometimes works with the island's villains, but with the mindset that he'll get rid of them himself once the EPF is taken down. Yeah, he's that cocky.
speaking of Tuna, i just finished a drawing of them :3
