one thing me n my art loving gf would do is visit galleries and play a game called “root, loot or boot” 

the gist is that you would look at a group of paintings in a room and decide which figure in the painting you’d root (fuck, in Australian slang), which painting you’d loot (steal and put on your wall at home) and which painting you’d boot (punt into the garbage because it’s shit and Not Art)

a couple of things about my experiences:

1. this game is a lot more fun if you’re attracted to women because there’s so many Hot Gals to choose from 

2. if you are attracted to men, you will spend a lot of time going “well, looks like I’ll have to pick jesus again” as my bi gf did

3. it gets more complicated in modern art museums and you find yourself having saying, “I’d fuck the rhombus” “you CAN’T fuck the rhombus” “then I’ll fuck that blue squiggle thing. what’s it called?” “creeping existential dread in blue” “then does that mean I’m fucking the squiggle or am I getting fucked by the existential dread it represents?” “aren’t we all already getting fucked by existential dread?”

4. if you play this with an art history nerd, they may decide to kill you over one of your “boot” choices

5. you will get Disapproving Looks from other patrons who overhear your heated debates

6. it’s also the best fun you’ll ever have in an art gallery

this would be worth the drive up to minneapolis to play this at the institute

heads up i’m gonna fuck the entire chinese jade collection and boot every rothko, fight me

oh my god i wish i’d known about this when we were at the national portrait gallery

So Dude spent all yesterday digitizing an emoji to make a patch.

In the meantime I cleaned up a bunch of my own stuff– for Christmas I got a smaller hoop for my machine, and what I can do with that is use up the corners of stabilizer-prepared fabric that I embroidered something onto the middle of. With the 4″ hoop there’s actually a lot of space that the needle can’t really utilize, but it’s got to be the same good fabric and have stabilizer under it so there’s even pressure from the hoop.

So I took a couple of failed attempts from earlier, and hooped the 2″ hoop on each of the four corners of the fabric, and embroidered, mostly, rude words and phrases of 2 words or less.

I’m going to make a lap quilt. You know how everybody has specific decor things they get out for Christmas? A lot of people I know, anyway. They have little snowman-themed pillow shams for the couch, and lap quilts to tuck over the back of the couch, and snowman-needlepointed door draft-stoppers, and such. But in late January, you gotta put that shit away, it’s just not… right. 

But it’s still winter. It feels weird to put your regular shit back on your couch and so on.

So I’m making a festive Sick Of Winter’s Shit crazy quilt for just this time of year. After Christmas, after the magic has worn off, and there’s still gonna be three solid months of cold dark wet bullshit, and you’re going to hurt yourself shoveling, wreck your favorite shoes in a puddle when you Choose Poorly because you thought it was all thawed (last night I almost died in cute boots ok), and the ol’ seasonal depresh crashes in because you got over your holiday stress but it’s all just a letdown and there’s nothing to look forward to.

I have a lot of worn-out garments with penguins on them, because in late high school my mother made me a fleece vest with penguins on it and everyone decided I was Into Penguins because I loved this vest. I loved it because it was comfortable and cozy, but I mean, I don’t not like penguins… so I wound up with a huge selection of penguin-themed sleepwear etc.

So I’m going to cut all those up and make this quilt out of them.

And it’s going to have a lot of swears on it.

And I’m going to make a semi-matching pillow sham, preferably in blue velvet with glitter, and it’s going to say Let It Snow on it a bunch of times but I’m going to make it off-center so it just says Tits Now, and that’s my winter-themed décor.

Ooh at some point I blew past the follower milestone

Ooh at some point I blew past the follower milestone I’ve been creeping up to slower and slower that I was starting to think I’d never reach. (Hi, everybody!)

Just to be goofy I went back and did a quick scan of followers and blocked the obvious porn bots. (Just the ones whose description had offensive language. And I mean, offensive like transphobic; I don’t care about sex talk but there was clearly a bot that used the same weird gross slur word for every blog description.) And that got me to the nice round number. Ha. Just to look at it! 

I’m sure it will change, and probably it’ll go down and I’ll be all sad, but. Anyway.

I’d told myself I should post a ficlet or story or something if/when I hit that number, because I see people doing it, but I hadn’t actually prepared to do that.

But I’ll get myself together later and look at my options and maybe ask for a vote on which one I should finish up. :)

Summary:

It was a few months after they got back that Bramble let Moon know she hadn’t forgotten about his promise. She had recovered her strength after the poisoning she’d endured, and put back on some of the weight she’d lost due to the strain of her captivity and the exertions of their journey. She felt healthy again, and more importantly, Merit said he thought she was back to her usual self, which meant that she could start thinking about having a clutch. And that meant reminding Moon that he had agreed to give her one.

“I didn’t forget,” Moon said, a bit defensively, when she brought it up. “I was just waiting until you said you were ready.”

“Well, I’m ready now,” Bramble said. “How about tonight?”

Yuletide fic I wrote #3 - Raksuras making babies together! I loved Bramble after the last couple of books, and was delighted to write something about her :)
