Cross stitch tradition tells you to make the back of the piece look almost as nice as the front but don't give a reason other than "you're supposed to." People who just do it for fun (as it should be) will say it doesn't matter how the back looks. I say it does matter, but for an Actual Reason, which is pretty much just FUCK attempting to shove your needle through specific points in an incomprehensible pile of stringy fuck and LITERALLY HOW does anyone let themselves keep doing that

As an orchid fanatic, "Vanda root porn" is a phrase I never expected to see and yet completely understand.

One problem that makes tumblr so terrible is that there's no reasonable way to limit who can see your posts. You can make your whole blog password-protected, which is dumb if you want to like, ever show off any art, and you can make individual posts private, but then you have to manually give the link to everyone you do want to show it to, and it's just terrible to have "almost completely private" and "public to everyone" with nothing in between. I like how here, you can make a post so only perople you trust can see it, like, not even all followers, because you don't have to put everyone on your access list.
