You know, when you have kids and you love them and you’re proud of them you just want to kiss them on the mouth sometimes.

“It’s not his powers, it’s not his costume, it’s not his heritage. It’s that, unlike his myriad counterparts, he has more faith is us than we have in ourselves […] that faith elevates and redeems the human race.
Notice how the men and women of Superman’s world, from Perry White to Jimmy Olsen to even the loutish Steve Lombard, have so clearly been fortified with Superman’s courage and reverence for truth and life. And most important, watch how Superman achieves his ultimate victory - not with a swing of his invulnerable first but with a gift of understanding. In every fight, Superman punches when he must and grapples when he has to, but at the end of every battle, he wins his best and most decisive victories when he allows his foes to see their world - our world - through his eyes.
When Superman, without a second’s hesitation, takes time from his world-building feats to embrace and comfort a suicidal young girl. When he tells her, “you’re much stronger than you think you are”, they become the most moving words we have ever read in Superman history. And they are perfect because they reveal, in one sentence, the fundamental secret of Superman and why we love him so:
Gods achieve their power by encouraging us to believe in them.
Superman achieves his power by believing in us.”
Mark Waid, 2008

Michele Caragher
Embroidered details in Game of Thrones
‘Michele Carragher is a London-based Hand Embroiderer and Illustrator who has been working in costume on film and television productions for over 15 years. She studied Fashion Design at The London College of Fashion, where the course incorporated design, pattern cutting, garment construction, embroidery, millinery and illustration. At the same time she attended a three year evening course in Saddlery at Cordwainers College learning skills in leatherwork.
After leaving college Michele worked in Textile Conservation, repairing and restoring historical textiles for private collectors and museums, specialising in hand embroidery. She then moved into a career in costume for film and television, initially working as a Costume Assistant/Maker on productions such as the BBC’s Our Mutual Friend, ITV’s David Copperfield and Mansfield Park. She soon gravitated towards the decoration and embellishment of costumes, using skills in hand embroidery and surface decoration, taking inspiration from the many historical textiles she had encountered working as a Textile Conservator.
The first production that saw her undertake the role of a Principal Costume Embroiderer was for HBO’s 2005 Emmy Costume award-winning production of Elizabeth 1. Her most recent work has been on HBO’s 2012 Costume award-winning television series Game of Thrones, working on all three seasons.
As a Costume Embroiderer Michele specialises in hand embroidery and surface embellishment, using traditional hand embroidery techniques, smocking, beading and surface decoration. She works directly onto the completed garment or starts with motifs and textures on silk crepeline/organza, which are applied to the costume and then worked into once on the actual garment. She also works on existing machine embroidery designs that are not too dense, adding some hand stitching and beading to give a more authentic, hand-finished look.
Michele finds hand embroidery has more flexibility and diversity than that of embroidery created by machine, as there is a greater variety of thread choice and colours to use. It is also possible to work more easily on garments that are already constructed. However, machine embroidery in combination with hand work can be very useful when completing many repeats by creating light outlines or a less dense machine stitch, work can then be completed by hand and again can be carried out on a finished garment.
Michele is a highly creative Costume Embroiderer, producing original designs as well as working closely to a costume designer’s brief to create their desired look.’

Going to bed, but! I just reached a nice round number of followers and I think it’s traditional to do something stupid in recognition of the fact, so, here you go guys, have this incredibly dumb crossover shit I wrote while on the train several days ago and am clearly never going to find any practical use for. It’s cool, you can unfollow me again now.
I HOPE YOU LIKE X-MEN.
The HS-Men
Founded by bald telepathic genius Professor Cal Francis Scratch to defend a fandom that ships and fears them, the HS-Men operate from an opulent greenstone mansion in Westchester County, New York – disguised behind the innocuous public facade of Professor Scratch’s School for Precious Babies. Besides all the usual facilities, such as swimming pools and gymnasia, the mansion boasts some impressive technological assets. At its heart is Cere-Bro, a pair of sunglasses stored in a sealed basement, which magnify the wearer’s telepathic abilities to a startling degree and serve as a global monitoring system. The Cere-Bro AI also runs the mansion’s Danger Room, where the HS-Men hone their abilities; its bizarre sense of humour means that this room is often significantly more dangerous than the actual enemies the team faces. Beneath the tennis courts is the hangar for the experimental Long Magic Dog stealth jet, in which the team rides through the sky on its neverending mission to find bullies and fuck their shit up.FOUNDER MEMBERS
Bicyclops (Sollux Captor): the first mutant recruited by Scratch, and the overall team leader. A serious, driven, and rather uptight young man who rarely allows himself to relax. In combat he relies mostly on his distinctive (and devastating) red-and-blue eye-beams, but he is also an excellent strategist and a capable telepath.
Quetzal (Rose Lalonde): the team’s most powerful member, she focuses and channels her almost limitless telekinetic abilities through the pair of wands or ‘needles’ she carries. Nearly destroyed the HS-Men entirely when she became possessed by an ancient cosmic entity called the Fluthlu Force, causing her to go completely off the deep end, start wearing a basque, and exterminate six billion salamanders. She got better.
The Furry (Jade Harley): beneath her alarming bestial exterior (well, dog ears) hides the mind of a brilliant scientist. Jade has saved her friends as often with her chemical and biological know-how as with her strength and gymnastic prowess. She is also a crack shot with most long-barrel firearms. The name wasn’t her idea, but it stuck.
Raguel (Terezi Pyrope): named for the Angel of Justice, her most prominent mutation is her pair of vast white dragon-wings, which enable her to fly at great speeds and with considerable agility. She is blind, but uses a combination of hypersenses and echolocation to gain a disturbingly accurate picture of her surroundings. She likes to lurk on rooftops, then swoop down and lick people’s faces when they least expect it.
Coolkid (Dave Strider): exudes an intense aura of pure cool around his body, causing anyone in close proximity to get, like, really insecure about stuff and start wondering if maybe they need better taste in music. By focusing this power he can freeze moisture in the air to create long ‘rails’ of ice, along which he can then ‘grind’. This is science. When all else fails he hits people with a fucking huge sword.
