We don’t stand for assholes here. Someone was extremely rude about this gorgeous rug of #NedLow made by @izzyhandsart.bsky.social. Well, we’re going to save this rug. Matt is reluctantly willing to finish it. He said he’d let it go free. But he’s put 38 hours work into this. And more to come with

if you see someone making something out of the love in their heart, and your impulse is to type something like "I don't like him" or "why ship him" or "weird,"

you are not the cutesy wholesome person you think you are

you are actually just a piece of shit.

Warm and soft sketch of Izzy absolutely loving Ed's belly. It's orange and yellow. Ed's leaning back shirtless and Izzy is kneeling between his legs.

Im nothing if not predicable.

Here! Various versions in case anyone prefers one format over others. I used 32ct linen, 2x2 for the crosses, 1 strand for backstitch, but in hindsight kinda wish I used sewing thread for the backstitch for a finer outline at this tiny scale? The floss looks ok though!

And a couple of minor notes:

Gentlepurred cross stitch chart (colour blocks + backstitching)

Gentlepurred cross stitch chart (symbols + colour blocks + backstitching)

Gentlepurred cross stitch chart (symbols + backstitching)

Gentlepurred cross stitch chart (backstitching in contrast colour so it's easier to see)

Stede and Ed are a mad scientist team with their long-suffering lab assistant Izzy, who ends up a test subject more often than not...

(cw: ethically dubious science/medical practices, various kinky situations ranging from fucking machines to tentacles) (2/11)

Izzy on his back, limbs splayed out. His lab coat is halfway pulled off, his shirt is undone, and his pants and belt are opened. Ed's hands are pinning his wrists, Stede's hands are on his thighs. Izzy looks vaguely annoyed but not bothered.
