Literally though this is SO ignored, even that book “The Knowledge” which is supposed to be all about how to accelerate the reboot process if civilisation collapses,
the entire subject of clothing production
from fibre sources to weaving
is given less than six pages (of 288),
and pretty much all it has to say (less than a page) on the vital matter of spinning is “did u kno spinning wheels are a thing; Da Vinci invented the spinning flyer and it’s really cool it’s so cool and Da Vinci is cool; you can make rope”
Like ok buddy, good luck with that.
Spinning wheels have a lot of parts and break easily,
and spinning
on a wheel is actually a specialist skill that has to be learned & practiced, so even if you do miraculously find one laying around in full working order after the apocalypse, good luck figuring out how to use and maintain it.
Good luck figuring out which whorls and bobbins to use and when and why. Good luck figuring out how to
adjust the band
or lace the flyer to control tension and gauge. Good luck with your shitty unset, unplied, uneven
yarn that you can’t even use because you ignored knitting and crochet. Good luck weaving your unset, unblocked handspun. Good luck with your weak, shitty rope. Sure glad you used that pagespace to tell us how the spinning flyer was one of the few of Da Vinci’s inventions that were implemented during his lifetime, instead of explaining how to set & block spun fibre to make it usable. That’ll keep you warm.
Godspeed you naked dumbass.
Never forget the episode of Naked & Afraid where the girl knew how to weave grass into a hat and outfit and the man just got horrible sunburns all over his body.
LISTEN the best fucking resource I have EVER gotten (and I got it on accident when my grandma was gonna hand it off to the thrift shop) is Reader’s Digest: Back to Basics. It not only boasts detailed instructions on how to twist yarn and weave on a loom, it covers basically everything else too. Building houses, raising animals and growing vegetables, canning/preservation, various handcrafts, even recreation. Basically everything you’d need to know for long-term survival, which is something a LOT of people overlook.
hm, probably tummy rubs? I don’t know, I’m just thinking that if I was a dog, it’d be easier for me to show when I want tummy rubs - just roll over to expose my stomach - than for me to show that I want an ear scratch.
Which character from FMA said this?
@classhattery I don’t think this question was meant to be something answered by an fma character, and if it was, I apologize to the asker because this is not that type of blog. I answered this question merely as the person who runs this blog.
i assume the question would be asked by tucker and answered by nina
I don’t have many walk cycles under my belt yet. They are a bit rough but I aim to improve! Even so, I still hope some of my fellow Night in the Woods fans find enjoyment in this one!
As a side note I recently added a ko fi button to my tumblr page! I kinda just thought it was cute XD but I do drink a decent amount of coffee. If you guys like my work and wanna help fuel my late nights there she is!
I was having a conversation with a French Maid of Prospit (who is also a Princess of Prospit btw) and we were talkin about John and Jade, and how they havent seem to have been depicted as Trickster together yet. We both agreed that this is a travesty that needs to be rectified! So, when ever you are able and feeling up for it, why not help fix this pressing issue with a sugary sweet JohnJade doodle?
this started as me wanting karkat in a top hat but then i gave him the can and he became a dapper little gentleman who turned not so dapper because hes just flipping everyone the bird
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
