HI!!! After finishing Disco Elysium I wanted to read Sacred and Terrible Air, but there were two issues:
1. It’s not officially released in English
2. I don’t like staring at pdfs!
So I did what any sane person would do. That is take three days of my life printing and binding it.
TRANSLATION (“thank you Group Ibex” we all say in unison!):
PROCESS PICS:
I apologize in advance for anyone who has experience in this sort of thing this is so botched.
I have NEVER done anything like this before, I don’t even read books on my own volition, but if the Disco fixation wants me to learn how to sew and bookbind I’ll do that.
Four of the signatures above. There were nine total, eight of them with 8 sheets/32 pages and the last was five sheets I think. Threw the pdf into adobe acrobat and went straight to printing with those settings and the “booklet” option enabled.
Pricked holes through each signature! Used thumbtacks and a piece of foam I scavenged from my room, worked out great. It’s probably also worth mentioning I do not have a bone folder, book press, or any of the other fancy schmancy bookbinding tools. Flattened the pages with a pencil and pressed with D&D books…
SEWING TIME. I have never sewn in my life. My success in this regard can be majorly attributed to Sea Lemon on youtube, particularly this tutorial:
The process from printing to finishing sewing the signatures took ~8 hours. Now we hit our first roadblock, I had no glue for the spine! After going to sleep and waiting what felt like ages (literally 10 hours or so) before I was free to visit a craft store, I tried to find PVA glue because that’s what you’re supposed to use I think?? Yeah. They were out of PVA glue and my impatient ass got mod podge.
‘Tis glued! As you can see I added cardstock to the ends. Joyous day.
Also, you see that sketchbook in the pic? Yeah? You see that lovely cardboard?
It is now the cover. Rest in piss bristol sketchpad backing.

EDIT: I see a bunch of people want to attempt this so here’s a video on how to make the hardcover: https://youtu.be/Av_rU-yOPd4?si=7T5zgVJGAfPFBxn-
I didn’t use any measurements or advice from it but it’s a good reference for when it comes to assembling the cover from ~3:50 onwards. The boards are same size as your text block pages and spine, I think I made the cover width a bit longer just in case it doesn’t cover the text block though. Do not do this with the spine, I regret it.
And note, this is NOT a tutorial, it is the process of someone who got a bit too silly and decided to bind a book, obviously do your own research lol. Don’t be afraid to try it though, it’s surprisingly simple!

… So, now that’s done! I swore to myself I wouldn’t start reading SATA/PJÕL until I finished this project completely, meaning I’ll be doing that now yippee :]
I feel like Ulthane would absolutely smother the entirety of his lover in kisses if given a chance. Neck, shoulders, belly, thighs, if it's a part of them it's getting KISSED.
Oh Hell yeah.
You'd better believe they dissolve into giggles sometimes too because they're a goofy couple.

ok sooo gwen is a very very important character to me as both a queer person and just a person in general. i thought about it for a while and i kinda wanna name myself after her. thought abt it some more and decided not only do i like the name a lot but i do think it fits and that i can call myself that for a long long time. so i just wanna get y’alls opinion on this
I feel horrible. I was gonna write something earlier, and then I got put into a bad mood and then completely forgot about it and the idea I had
Okay, hold up. HOW'D I NOT KNOW THERE WAS A MOONCAKE EMOJI??

Ah yes, my favorite cobra kai ship
Carmen Sandiego Crack AU based on the events of S4 (spoilers, obv)
TW for kidnapping, brainwashing, and implied drugging
The faculty erased/rewrote a lot of Carmen's memories, but they had no reason to touch the early memories of her and Player. Since they met just before she went and joined the academy for the first time, but the faculty didnt know that, they have no reason to erase that far back.
My point is: Carmen remembers the early memories of her and Player.
She remembers him as a hacker and her best friend. So, now that she's faculty, why not bring him into the fold?
Of course... she doesnt really give him a choice. She nabs him with the cleaners in the middle of the night, then proudly shows him around his 'new home' when the sedatives wear off, happily proclaiming that he's now a VILE operative and she gave him a special fast-track to it.
(She doesn't really get the fact that maybe Player didnt appreciate being kidnapped from his home and basically forced to become a VILE operative)
The other faculty members are confused. Bellum guesses that maybe Carmen met Player after she left the island and he just slipped through the cracks. They want to bring him in (and maybe use the Truth Extracter on him) to question him and/or comb through Carmen's memories again, but are kept from doing so for several reasons:
A) Carmen would become suspicious if he suddenly disappeared or said something bad about them to her.
B) They cant bring Carmen in, because trying to fix this supposed error could destroy their carefully crafted web of lies.
C) Player is still shaken up from his... unorthodox recruitment, any further aggressive actions could make him attempt to escape from VILE entirely. (Which leads back to point A)
D) Despite everything, Player is, undeniably, a good hacker and an asset to VILE.
Player, meanwhile, sees this as an opportunity to get his best friend back, even if it means bring surrounded by VILE operatives for who knows how long.
The rest of TR is panicking, though. They've lost two of their strongest members and best friends. (Player does find a way to tell them he's okay, but it takes awhile)
(Credit to the people on CS 2.0 for letting me bounce this off then)
I used mabel for a limited color pallete + some more non-gravity falls limited color-pallete art undercut:
