“I seem to recall them giving you a bit of trouble as well , farrar.”

He rubbed the back of his hand, coughing mildly before reaching into his jacket pocket for his cigarettes. “Don’t know what you’re talking about, love. I had that entire matter sorted. It was fine. A mere scuffle. The black eye was purely for aesthetic purposes.”
Cerberus was indeed filthy. He loved mud. He ran out ahead again, bouncing all the way back. He ran around her in a circle, then back to her, then flopped on the ground and rolled in the dirt.

Oh he was cute. She giggled as she looked around and hummed. “Is there a hose or something similar I can wash you in..? I’d hate to have you tread dirt in the house to wash you in the tub.” She spoke to the dog as if he could answer her. She smiled warmly as she looked around. “You’re lucky you’re cute Cerberus.”
"No, dying is illegal. Not allowed to die."

Rogue looked at Tony dubiously. “Ah mean, for most everyone they don’t get a say in the matter.” Which was true. There was a handful of mutants whose mutation prevented it. A very tiny, insignificant handful. “Buuut Ah think you kinda gotta work at tryin’ t’stay on this side of the dirt. Ah mean if ya don’t guess that means Ah gotta just haul ya back by the shirt collar.” She wasn’t worried about herself, an unfortunate side effect of having your entire body ionized absorbing the wrong power. There might come a day she wished she wasn’t bulletproof.
"Man you're so lucky I'm not in the mood to slam my head into your fuckin skull."

No one deserves to be abused JD only happened to be an idiot and fell for the wrong person.
Nobody deserves to be abused, and nobody knows for sure whether or not their partner will abuse them. It isn't always obvious. Abuse starts with deception, loving lies, conditioning, co-dependency. It's complicated. Often we don't realize 'our person' is actually the wrong person until it's too late.
@jedie sent ❛ would you have done any different ? ❜ ( meme, accepting )
The young Padawan looks a little dejected, a little embarrassed to have been chastised by his Master in front of someone else (not that Siri thinks she should count as ‘someone else’, since it isn’t as though she’s on the Council or is anyone important) and he lets out a little huff of breath as the sound of Obi-Wan’s retreating footsteps fade. She opts not to say anything, at least not yet; she'd only been in this storage room to find a snack, and, again: she isn’t anyone important, she doesn’t have any authority to opine on another Master’s discussions with his Padawan.
It’s Anakin who speaks first, though, voice small but defensive: ❛ would you have done any different ? ❜
She’s not sure. The only bits of context she knows are what she overhead between Master and Padawan. And then there’s a question of when would she or wouldn’t she have done any differently -- as a Padawan she definitely would have, but now, if she were in the same circumstances?
She shrugs, “Probably not,” she allows, pulling a second muja fruit from the storage bin and tossing it in Anakin’s direction. “Just don’t tell Obi-Wan I said so,” Siri adds with a wink.
How's camel V? It's hot this time of year.
We do not discuss my spelling mistake that created Camel V. Sobs.
So you are knitting your first lace project, and you've got the wrong number of stitches and you're stuck and you don't want to frog. I'm here to help. But! My advice depends on you being able to read your stitches on the last patterned row (whether that's every row or every other row depends on the pattern). If you don't know how to do that, try knitting a swatch and putting in some decreases, double decreases, yarn overs, etc and then look at your work to locate those stitches and see how they look.
First advice: if your pattern is repeating, put a stitch marker in between each repeat. It's possible these stitch markers will move, but you need to know which repeat(s) you've made a mistake on and this makes that much easier because you'll realize you made a mistake when you get to the end of the repeat instead of the end of the row. I know not everyone does this, but I've been knitting 15 years and I see no shame in taking all the help you can get. All the advice here assumes you are doing this.
So after you've separated out all your repeats, and you get to the end of a repeat and are missing a stitch! What to do? Missing stitches are usually either 1) forgot a yarn over somewhere 2) dropped a stitch.
Forgotten yarn overs are an easy fix if you can find where the yarn over was SUPPOSED to be. Tink (un-knit, knit spelled backwards, means to undo your stitches one at a time as opposed to just ripping them all out.) back to the stitch before the missing yarn over (YO). If the missing YO is in the row you're knitting, simply add the YO and keep going. If it's in the row before (or second row before if every other row is plain), tink back to right before the missing YO, and insert the left needle into the bar between stitches as if to do a make one increase (there's YouTube tutorials out there). Knit the stitch without twisting it. This is your new Jerry rigged YO.
If your missing stitch is NOT a missing yarn over, it's time to start looking for dropped stitches. Sometimes these are just impossible to find because they rip down to whatever YO they came from and that can be really difficult to spot. If your pattern is symmetrical, look for missing symmetry. If it isn't, look for differences between this repeat and other repeats of the pattern.
Now, finding these missing stitches and then knowing what to do with them are two different things. Ask yourself: if I use a crochet hook and go slowly, can I fix this? If the answer is no, please don't give up. Let me tell you a secret. I make. So. Many. Mistakes. When I knit. And sometimes you just have to fudge. Pick a spot that works best for the pattern and just add another stitch. I prefer knit front and back (kfb) but you can also make 1 left or right (m1L/m1R). I promise it'll be hard for anyone besides you to spot.
But what if we have an extra stitch? These either come from missing decreases, forgetting part of a double double decrease, or an extra yo hanging out where it has no business hanging out.
Go back and read your work. First look for any extra YOs. If you notice an extra YO, tink back to it and just drop it. It'll mess with your tension but that's what blocking is for.
Once that's ruled out, look at any double decreases you have. If you are doing a decrease where you slip stitches and pass them over other stitches and off the needle (pass slipped stitch over or psso), did you remember to do the psso part? I forget this sometimes even tho all I knit is lace.
This is my personal most frequent decrease mistake. If you made that mistake on your current row, tink back and pass the stitch like it's supposed to go. If it was a previous row, tink back to where you made that mistake, and either knit two together (k2tog, right leaning decrease) or slip slip knit (ssk, left leaning decrease), whichever leans the correct way.
So there's no extra YOs and your double decreases are good? Time to look at your normal decreases. Do you have any decreases that you missed? Tink back and do them. If they were missed on the current row, just knit as instructed. If they were a row ago, you might have to do some analyzing to figure out where the right place is, but go back and decrease as close to where it was supposed to be as possible.
I cannot begin to tell you how forgiving lace is of mistakes. Hell. I spent 18 months knitting this
And when I got it all laid out, IT HAD TWO HOLES IN IT. I'm still mad about it but I fixed them well enough that I could block it aggressively. Can you see where I missed stitches, my tension was weird, I had extra stitches for some fucking reason, etc? No! You can't! This is what blocking is for.
Blocking is the heavenly primordial being who wipes away all your mistakes and knitting sins and says "You worked hard on this, and it looks heavenly, good job." You should block everything, not just lace. It evens your tension and can give you a little leeway if something is just a little bit too small. Got a sweater with two slightly different sized sleeves? Blocking.
And if you really don't believe me that blocking fixes almost anything, take a look at this:
You can't see the beads in this photo, but this shawl has somewhere around 1500 beads. I decided right off the batt I wasn't going to be frogging beads. So this became a YOLO project. I gave myself permission to make mistakes and just fudge the solutions. Can you see my dozens (literally dozens) of mistakes? No!!
So don't be afraid that your lace isn't going to turn out right. Cuz only you can see that spot where you dropped a stitch completely or that double decrease you forgot to do or whatever other mistakes you may have made. Blocking will fix a lot. And even if there's still a glaringly obvious hole somewhere (I have one that drives me nuts in the white shawl but no one else can spot it), I promise it's not glaringly obvious to anyone else and also everyone here on knitblr doesn't care and if someone gives you a hard time tag me and I'll scold them for you.
In conclusion
@forgottenluck liked for a starter
By his very nature, the wind seraph was a wanderer. Staying in one place for too long had him feeling restless; the urge to just step outside and follow whatever path the breeze would give him. It was the only way Zaveid how found that he could live his life without holding onto any doubts or regrets.
Once upon a time there had been someone that might have given him a reason to want to stay in one place - but that person was gone, and Zaveid had been forced to accept that she was never going to come back to him. It didn’t really hurt much anymore to think about it, just a small ache that would always exist as a reminder that there would be things that no one could change. Trying to defy fate meant nothing if it only caused another pain.
This type of living and motto that he had chosen to live by had taken him across all of Desolation during his years. He had found places of joy and laughter, where humans and seraphim were still trying to do their best to live peacefully with one another, and places filled with little more than silence that reeked of tragedy. And this place... certainly felt like the latter.
The village had been small, and now there was even less of it remaining; just rotted and half-broken frames partially buried in the ground. It looked as it part of the earth had ripped open to swallow it whole. Zaveid could only imagine the countless lives that had been lost there, and the ones that were still trying to cling to the bitter hatred they felt in their death; the malevolence was thick, near to the point of choking him.
But that wasn’t... the only thing there.
It wasn’t in the village, or what remained of it. Being careful to walk around it, not through it, Zaveid allowed for the wind around him to push along a path the wound to the back of it, where the remnants of the village had started to merge with forest overgrowth. He stepped forward carefully, one hand reaching up to push the greenery away from his face.
“... Hello?”
bruh socializing is so hard i wanna die why did i come over here

Listen...He might have an obsession with her smile. MAYBE. It's not like they are as warm as sunshine and addicting, right? Also, she totally caught him snapping the second picture and humored him. And of course we gotta add a steamy pic in there, right? ;)
So if they haven’t reached a verdict yet do you think that’s means that they might not go for Johnny? God I’m so nervous
Not necessarily! I think it's more to do with the fact that verdict day falls on a holiday weekend, and it's been a long trial, so they want to make sure the decision is made fairly and thoroughly. Holding out hope for Tuesday 🙏💖 x
