god gives his most specific, hard to explain genders to his strongest dykes

Hygieia (detail) by Gustav Klimt (1907)

*sighs deeply and sadly* thinking abt the parallels between mitsukou and terukane :((

both mitsuba and akane are supernaturals that hate themselves for it. kou and teru are exorcists who are trapped from being with those they love due to their jobs and families.

but i think mitsuba and kou have a more positive outlook on their relationship and future. they both believe - and are trying - to reach a future where they can be together.

meanwhile, teru and akane are far more realistic/pessimistic. teru has a much colder view on supernaturals than kou does, and i think that's definitely gonna be something he has to get over if he ever wants a chance with akane. akane sees himself as a monster, wanting - for most of the series - to just be a normal human. they don't see their relationship as something that's even possible, stopping them from persuing or even thinking about the other.

both pairs are barred from being together by forces they can't control. there's a lot of self-loathing in all four of them, i think. poor babies :((

Vintage Knitting/Crochet Patterns Masterlist

Recently, I’ve been getting really into more older styles of knit and crochet, and in my search for vintage patterns I’ve come across a ton of sites and articles that have been incredibly helpful to me, so I thought I’d share them all with you.
