thoughts on prisoners (2013) - do you like it? 👀

ooh I LOVE it! both keller and loki are very complex characters. really loved the ending and everything else! the 'cool tone' of the movie was one of the key aspect for me.

couldn't stop thinking about loki for weeks after watching it. was it the haircut? idk🤭

This might be my favorite bind so far! Definitely my most ambitious. It's for the buddie fic "What's love got to do with it?" By ColorMeParanoid on AO3.

@color-me-paranoid If you see this I love this work so much. I stumbled upon it while doom-scrolling the buddie tag, binged it in like two days and was like whelp guess I've found my next big bind. I also included the other work in the series as an epilogue!

I'm so happy with the cover design. The lovely line art was made by @missmists. It looks so great and matches the inspo pics so much better than my original design. The cover is supposed to be reminiscent of the Tina Turner movie posters for "What's Love Got to Do With It?" I love that the hearts are the same shape as the lips in the original poster! That was such a cool idea!

I think the application of the vinyl gave me brain damage, I can not say this with enough vitriol, fuck Cricut brand vinyl, specifically the foil iron-on. If the heat is where the instructions say it should be it NEVER transfers, and if it's too high, the plastic leaves residue all over it and looks terrible (especially on white leather) I Had to entirely scrap the first try, wasting materials makes me want to die.

This is the first full-size bind I've done with faux leather, It was a learning process to get the heat press to not leave marks. But by the second try, I think I had it down.

This is the longest fic I've bound in a single volume, and I've been trying new techniques, and it resulted in the cleanest text block I've done so far. No swell at all! Look at her, ain't she pretty!

The next step is to go even bigger!

Ooh, that's so cool! I've been using a box cutter and then sanding, but I've noticed this can lead to an uneven edge. I love hearing about other people's processes, thank you for sharing!

anyway, your books are so pretty!! i'd love to know how you did the headbands in your bound fics? also, would love to know how you trimmed the pages so nicely and what materials you used for the covers! (no pressure of course!)

HI!

The headbands are pre-made ones, I bought variety packs of colors off Amazon. I actually don't trim my pages, I leave the sawtooth, and just try to fold as uniformly as I can. I'm working on a way to trim without having to buy a heavy duty guillotine. I'm thinking I'll try a hand planner (normally used for woodworking) and then sand it.
