i think making myself a piece of gray-ace pride clothing would help me feel a little better

like a belt or something

plenty of natural sources of purple dye where i live??

im allowed to be proud of how confident i am at staying lucid and responsibly minded while my grasp on reality literally dissolves

its like a really difficult thing for me to have learned and know how to reliably perform, ok

im good at this and it makes me feel good to think im good at it

i am in the "starting to make sense of what all these passage-way based entities keep trying to tell me" stage of chronic stress-induced psychotic symptoms

but im actually very not much else besides someone who knows how to healthily endure and process frequent emotional floods of terror

this would go hard if you kept them in a tiny basket in front of a guillotine

in this scenario, using outdated tool also makes ghostly airborne particulate matter and the ghosts of work safety equipment manufacturers make ghostly face masks

wanting to bring yer faces closer and get intimate but the PPE is in the way of kissing or even bringing yer cheeks together, tantalizing the both of you..

my beautiful wife had this problem for awhile and went to physical therapy, where they learned about things like "nerve flossing" and related types of stretches (there's two more that i think are various levels of intensity on the same "nerve-pulling" basis) and it cleared their issue right up

Kere @kerepakupai.bsky.social · Sep 26

thank you!!

i think i needed to hear that 🥲

haven't been posting much of my work lately, whoops

been dealing with a lot- my meds made me ideate/very angry so now im unmedicated for a bit, my wife and i became homeowners yesterday so we're moving, etc

but heres three proto- tournament prizes im making on commission in the middle of all this

a tiny guard having its eye carefully sawed to shape with its blade nearby, both on a jewelers saw horse

the corners on a tiny tang transition being sharpened

the scale and finish on the inside of a cup guard being smoothed out with a diamond ball bit in a drill press

the bulk of the progress of a day of tiny sword making, an epée with guard, an arming sword with guard and half made buckler and a nude side sword held precariously in front of a tomato plant and wire fence

id like to see the yawning dark's reaction to being encroached on instead for once in it's intangible, omnipresent life

Kere @kerepakupai.bsky.social · Sep 24

the broken attempt has pretty much the right thickness (unmade ball end and unmet edges notwithstanding)

making these out of scavenged car springs

im normalizing the blank rn before grinding, realizing i should've normalized it post straightening but pre shaping

Kere @kerepakupai.bsky.social · Sep 18

this is mostly what all the previous attempts look like-

warped (wouldn't be a huge deal since its easily undone but then it just keeps happening every time they're requenched), unmet blade edges, cracked off tangs or ball ends

not to mention the blade cross section

a ruined attempt at a tiny epée sitting on an anvil, also there's some forge scale scattered about

Kere @kerepakupai.bsky.social · Sep 18

man, making a tiny epée blade is fucking tough

fourth times the charm?

forging it super chunky and mostly doing removal this time

"salem stop apologizing for offering us delicious cake and saying the next cake will be even more delicious" challenge

difficulty: .. achievable?

Kere @kerepakupai.bsky.social · Sep 15

if yer feeling emotionally stranded, societally invalidated in yer love for altruistic giving or just need some soft loving words that repeat yer own sense of connective compassion back to you, i recommend it whole heartedly

"Braiding Sweetgrass" is also good
