Six free patterns for interlocking filet crochet patches to express solidarity with the people of Gaza/Palestine. Includes full documentation for the technique. Direct download here [PDF, 934kb] or download on Gumroad. Feel free to share or repost the PDF/images however you want.
I designed this motif to be specifically beginner-friendly (no nonsense in the first rows, no diagonals, fill stitches or knots), and the pattern itself has some extra annotations to help you get started. (There is also a video I did for another free motif here, if that would help you find your bearings).
lmk if you need help with the technique or my wackadoo notation.
sometimes, I feel weird about taking Jonathan Fanshawe, one of the few men who managed to escape Jonah, and making up his story in such a way that it turns out that he didn’t actually manage to do that. and then I realize how hot and cool it would be if Jonathan only thought that severing ties with Jonah would be enough to save him. if Jonathan’s hope that he could resist the natural disaster that Jonah is was just his naivety. if Jonah was more like a plague than a person to everyone around him – if you linger around him, you are as good as dead; there is no way to stop the progression of that illness once it touched you. no way to get out of the downward spiral of otherworldly horrors and madness if you were careless enough to let that charming handsome man lead you to the first steps of it. how fitting would it be if everything dear to Jonah rotted under his touch, first against his will, then for his entertainment. and I calm down ❤️
Peter Lukas is so fascinating to me. Like, his entire statement reeks. “Oh my childhood wasn’t actually very bad” “I’m so well adjusted and fine” “I just happened to be the only one of my siblings who suited the Lonely”. Shut UP dude. It’s not lying, clearly, because he was compelling, but it doesn’t have to be purposeful manipulation to be untrue. This man is so deeply disconnected from himself and his childhood that he really truly believes there’s no way that his childhood was traumatizing in any way. I don’t care if his bloodline are avatars, they are all still human avatars, not freaky monsters. He is human, or he once was human and he was a little boy who never knew comfort and watched his brother and sister get taken away forever and so he made himself as small and quiet as possible because he was Afraid and That is why the Lonely chose him.
Drifting from my usual fixations, I am suddenly possessed with thoughts about the James Wright era of Jonah Magnus. There’s so much there. I’ve spoken extensively to some people about parallels between Peter and both Mordechai and Barnabas, and I feel that this time period is particularly interesting on that front.
I am of the opinion that, by the time we meet him in canon, Peter is no longer capable of maintaining any kind of meaningful connections, even with Jonah. But, as a young man? He’s positively smitten with James, as much as he is avoidant of it. Jonah thrives with such attention, of course, but it’s bittersweet in a way he only dares to explore in the most private corners of his mind. The Lukas heir has a striking resemblance to Mordechai, in a way that sometimes makes his stomach turn unpleasantly, yet his actions and temperament remind him so much more of his Barnabas.
Watching him grow more and more like Mordechai as time goes on and he grows more faithful to the Lonely. Jonah knowing that this… whatever they have feeds the Lonely in a way that would give Mordechai a disgusting level of satisfaction, but not having it within him to put any more distance between them than he is forced to.
i really like fallout because, unlike a lot of media that uses retrofuturism as just a cool aesthetic, fallout’s obsession with 1950s americana actually means something. it’s not just chrome fins and googie diners, it’s weaponized optimism. it’s that sickly-sweet propaganda sheen slathered over nuclear terror, where smiling mascots tell you to duck and cover while the government quietly preps for the end of the world. it’s about a country that believed so hard in its own greatness it signed its death warrant in cursive.
fallout takes that warped, post-war idealism, the “gee whiz!” charm of suburbia on lithium. and drags it through the dirt, showing us what happens after all the white picket fences melt into radioactive slag. in a world shaped by that specific brand of McCarthyist exceptionalism, the future isn’t flying cars and robot butlers, it’s a dinky holotape of your last moments before the bombs hit, looping forever. like vault 11, the one where the final recording plays after everyone’s already dead, revealing the whole “sacrifice one person every year or everyone dies” mandate was a lie. a loyalty test. a sick joke. and the vault passed, right before it failed, because paranoia and desperation had already eaten them alive.
that’s fallout. not just the end of the world, but the punchline that comes after the moral.
and honestly? that hits way harder than any sleek utopia. because fallout remembers: beneath all that pastel patriotism and canned laughter, something was always rotting.
Controversial post probably but I am so sick of seeing people who claim to be pro-para but specifically ‘call-out’ and talk shit on the 'big three’. If you are pro-para or you claim to be a safe space for paraphiles, yet you specifically exclude people who you think are gross and bad just for existing, without taking their actions into account, then you are NOT pro-para. And guess what! If you’re a perfect, wholesome, and moral objectophile or something, people who are anti-para will still say you’re secretly a fucking pedophile or whatever, because they don’t fucking care how good and nice your paraphilia is, it’s still a paraphilia and therefore wrong and evil.
Another thing that pisses me off so much is people saying they are anti-contact for specifically the big three.
It is so simple to just say you’re anti-contact for paraphilias with real life consequences rather than only saying the 'big three’. The only reason you feel the need to single out whatever the fuck you consider to be the monolithic 'big three’ Evil Paraphilias and the whole reason that the concept exists is because even in a social space where you claim to be accepting of people, there always has to be somebody to point at and say “Well, I’m not that bad, at least I’m not THAT guy!”. There are plenty of paraphilias that would be just as harmful to act upon as those ones, but because those are the ones that normies constantly single out and hate on, it is easy to jump onto the bandwagon.
And you know what, I am aware that this is nitpicky and probably comes off as whiny and bitchy, but I really am sick of it. You sound like those fucking LGB without the T people. You do not have to support all paraphiles, but if you are disgusted by someone simply because their socially unacceptable attraction is not as morally acceptable as yours, then you cannot call yourself pro-para.
My latest psy-op on my mother is to order a 16 inch minecraft creeper plush off of ebay every time I find a reasonably priced one so that every time she checks the mail she will fear that it is another giant fucking creeper. Received number one today, number two will come sometime this week.
