iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Spending 105 minutes watching the college that shaped me being systematically and cruelly destroyed… I’m exhausted. None of it was new. None of it isn’t what I already know and actively fear every day at my own institution. But my fucking god, does it hurt.

A friend has started getting ads for Halloween embroidery kits (def a bit my influence) and she keeps sending them to me, saying she’s being tempted, so I offered to put together a little kit for her. Going to also print a beginner guide and highlight the useful sections for this design. 😵‍💫

Ok technically this patch on my denim jacket was my first OFMD embroidery and I did mixed media embroidery in IB art but last year was the first time I tried to learn any actual techniques beyond “I have a needle and thread, let’s party.” You_Know_What_That_Is_Growth.gif

Thinking a lot about my embroidery journey bc it’s been just over a year since I started and I’m so floored by where I started and where I’m at. I love that my first and last panels on @thesearethekids.bsky.social sampler are right next to each other and I love seeing them next to this frame. #OFMD

Two wedges of an OFMD-themed sampler. On the left, a wedge labeled ROOM PEOPLE with various little doodle designs like a lute, an eye with makeup, and a spool of thread. On the right, a wedge labeled IFNS with three cat flags. A lighthouse, a bowl of soup, and the phrase AS A CREW

An embroidered still from OFMD 2.6. Stede is grabbing Ed by his jacket. Stede is turquoise and Ed is purple. They are surrounded by a riot of insane foliage, both leaves and flowers. The are a few wooden butterfly charms and many plants have beaded details.

Here are my 2 frames. I feel so lucky I got to participate twice! 1st frame was going great until I royally f*cked up the background and had to colour it in digitally. 2nd one I thought would be more difficult, instead I enjoyed it more, oil pastels in warm colour + Stede's chest = excellent! #ofmd

A screencap from OFMD S2E6, Calypso's Birthday. Stede and Ed stand facing each other, looking into one another's eyes. Stede grips Ed by the lapels of his leather jacket, and Ed holds Stede by the shoulders. The colors are rich and warm, and the lighting resembles a candlelit room. The air around them sparkles.

A screencap from OFMD S2E6, Calypso's Birthday. Ed and Stede are kissing, locked in a passionate embrace, visible from the waist up. The scene is drawn in a film noir style. It's black and white. Stede wears a trench coat and fedora, and Ed is dressed in a black gown, a flower in his hair. They tucked in a corner between buildings on a city street. Headlights, tall buildings, and a neon sign reading "Jackie'z" are visible in the background.

A screencap from OFMD S2E6, Calypso's Birthday. This is a painting of Stede closing the curtain around his bed nook. His naked torso is visible through gauzy, sparkly curtains. The scene is backlit by the glow of fireworks through a large, arched window.

OH SORRY The other magic of fandom is also that I knew beyond a doubt while in the lingering paranoia of sleep paralysis that the pirates who live in my phone would manage to convince me that I wasn’t stuck in a nightmare takeout loop à la Nightmare on Elm Street (linking original thread below)

2111

Wren @redwsailing.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The best part about @lavieenframes.bsky.social is how many people I have seen (myself included) who have mentioned that their frame is something that they’ve pushed themselves on: out of their comfort zone, to do something more complex, to try a new skill For me, that is the magic of fandom 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈🦄💜

Ok I know this website is just broken and that realistically the fact that I just had to hit “like” on some posts multiple times to get them to save is proof of the broken website NOT my nightmare loop, BUT if anyone wanted to interact with this post to prove that to me, that would be cool 🤦🏼

Woke up screaming but rather than the standard “spouse wakes me up, I explain, calm down, go back to sleep” routine I was CONVINCED that I was in a Freddy Krueger style fakeout nightmare loop and kept trying to outsmart the loop by being VERY suspicious of my poor exhausted spouse who had just 1/3

I appreciated (and was tickled by) @owltrousers.bsky.social use of oranges and scissors for scale, so I took a quick pic bc I’m always curious about the size of these things!! I also had to crop it slightly so here’s the full piece, including its wonky edges (very much not an actual rectangle)

here's mine, number 136. i didn't keep track of how long it took, but if i had to guess i'd say somewhere between 40 to 60 hours 🥴

photo of my embroidered frame for the la vie en frames project. it's ed silhouetted against the windows with lots of swirly purple light, getting ready for an emotionally fraught dicking down. how do i begin to describe this? there are a million little stitches all coming together to create the image. the light through the windowpanes looks kinda swirly van gogh style. the curtains have the illusion of translucency. my favourite bit is the shadow of the windowframe on the sill beneath, and the soft curly highlights at the back of ed's hair
