Broke Witch Tips - Magic On A Budget

HELP

the BIG thing I want answered is…

why did Master Fu give Marinette his miraculous? Why not give her one of the other numerous miraculouses in the side compartments of the miraculous case? why did he have to give up wayzz?

The defendant may speak now!

Your honour I would like to present some evidence to the court on the words of the accused.

The many times he has abused his son, manipulated him and used his very poor mental stability in his gain.

Chat Blanc, where he showed his son his dead mother in the basement, threw him in the air and beat him with a stuck until he got knocked into the Eiffel Tower and fell to the ground.

After that he used his very poor emotional and mental state to akumatize him. He then proceeded to turn his son agains his best friend/love of his life into betraying her and getting him her earrings. The poor boy didn’t know what to do after everything he experienced in the span of 2 minutes and tried to destroy himself which resulted in a world ending catastrophe.

Exaple 2.

Once again after discovering his son’s secret identity the only thing this man had in mind was how to use this to his gain. He took him to their basement to see his dead mother. After the shock that Adrien had experienced, in the span of a few seconds his father ONCE AGAIN used his extremely poor emotional and mental state to akumatize him. He then proceeded to use him to take the earrings from his girlfriend to bring his dead wife back.

success story

right before high school, i found solar subs and read her guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OhShXBZ3rjw4dJGz5Y2XWw3G9vC5Wqyi9JYUsRxj61E/edit#heading=h.sftzdlwdkxu7

and this was pretty much the first eye-opener for me and i realized that i actually had control over my life.

so throughout high school, i've consciously manifested: my head to toe glow up, (people from middle school seriously don't recognize me anymore, i walked up to this girl i knew and had to reintroduce myself.) my sweet 16 party which was HUGE, (i had never had something done like that for me, i got so many expensive gifts that i've been wanting for YEARS) a Macbook, a purse, my boyfriend, (the way we fell in love was truly so adorable it really felt like a rom-com movie, he even said it himself as i was saying affirmations) my boyfriend's parents liking me, my mom to be lenient and nicer, an old friend to come back to me, to get prettier everyday (as i was looking back at some photos from like only a few months ago, i was pretty, but now i'm wayyy prettier and my features are so much more enhanced) tons of clothes, a thinner waist, popularity, good grades, more money, shopping sprees, THERES SO MUCH MORE BUT THIS IS ALL I COULD THINK OFFFFF im living my high school girl dream fantasy life rn

Kudos to fanfiction writers for writing about all the trauma and emotional and mental turmoil that the original content creators dont acknowledge when putting characters through hell

Things I wish I had read in "beginner" sewing tutorials/people had told me before I started getting into sewing

You have to hem *everything* eventually. Hemming isn't optional. (If you don't hem your cloth, it will start to fray. There are exceptions to this, like felt, but most cloth will.)

The type of cloth you choose for your project matters very much. Your clothing won't "fall right" if it's not the kind of stretchy/heavy/stiff as the one the tutorial assumes you will use.

Some types of cloth are very chill about fraying, some are very much not. Linen doesn't really give a fuck as long as you don't, like, throw it into the washing machine unhemmed (see below), whereas brocade yearns for entropy so, so much.

On that note: if you get new cloth: 1. hem its borders (or use a ripple stitch) 2. throw it in the washing machine on the setting that you plan to wash it going forward 3. iron it. You'll regret it, if you don't do it. If you don't hem, it'll thread. If you don't wash beforehand, the finished piece might warp in the first wash. If you don't iron it, it won't be nice and flat and all of your measuring and sewing will be off.

Sewing's first virtue is diligence, followed closely by patience. Measure three times before cutting. Check the symmetry every once in a while. If you can't concentrate anymore, stop. Yes, even if you're almost done.

The order in which you sew your garment's parts matters very much. Stick to the plan, but think ahead.

You'll probably be fine if you sew something on wrong - you can undo it with a seam ripper (get a seam ripper, they're cheap!)

You can use chalk to draw and write on the cloth.

Pick something made out of rectangles for your first project.

I recommend making something out of linen as a beginner project. It's nearly indestructible, barely threads and folds very neatly.

Collars are going to suck.

The sewing machine can't hurt you (probably). There is a guard for a reason and while the needle is very scary at first, if you do it right, your hands will be away from it at least 5 cm at any given time. Also the spoils of learning machine sewing are not to be underestimated. You will be SO fast.

I believe that's all - feel free to add unto it.

TV writers will come up with vaguely weird & awkward mannerisms for a character and unwittingly craft exemplary autism representation, then try to write an explicitly autistic character and commit a hate crime

In an exclusive statement shared with NBC News, Heard, who now lives in Spain, said: “Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.’ I saw this firsthand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”

Dog Manners- mostly for my own reference as a trainer

Attention- Say his name and, when he looks at you, mark the behavior you like by saying “yes!”

Sit- front paws up, butt on the floor. Most dogs get this one easily

https://youtube.com/shorts/x_Lo5csZrvE?feature=share

Stay- the dog should not move from a sit or a down position unless called

https://youtube.com/shorts/qOCmi-nD_Pk?feature=share

Come when called- Like attention, say “Name, come” or whatever your release cue is. Some use “free” or “here”

I couldn’t find any videos on this but it should be somewhat self explanatory.

Look at me- dog is expected to make eye contact with owner until given the release cue.

https://youtu.be/d6PogCb_mLc

Lay Down- all paws down, waiting. Can also be used with extended stays

https://youtube.com/shorts/nSgL3Rml-S8?feature=share

Heel- dog walking close to your side in on a loose leash, not distracted at all.

https://youtube.com/shorts/odUxQvAiARs?feature=share

https://youtube.com/shorts/WdY56ruQfXg?feature=share

Once they consistently look to you, begin to take 2-3 steps. Tap your hip. When they follow and keep eye contact, reward. Increase how far you walk. Once you’re at a solid 10 steps, add the word heel. Slowly fade out treat until dog can do this with only the verbal command.

Leave It- ignore an object or person

https://youtube.com/shorts/fKAF1g21Umc?feature=share

Loose leash walking- walking nicely on a loose leash (some distance allowed between owner and dog). Not distractable or jumping up/on other dogs

https://youtube.com/shorts/AF64kPSE1jI?feature=share

Settle- relax. Usually meaning quiet or lay down. Sometimes will be used in combination with place. Treats or toys should be given to keep the dog engaged.

https://youtube.com/shorts/CXAmYoFLdXo?feature=share

Place- dog is expected to go to a designated area (crate, under chair, etc) most often this is a mat or a dog bed. They go to area and lay down quietly. Toys or treats can be given.

https://youtu.be/qLHAKyd3hJ8

Take it/hold it- takes toy from owner, dog is expected to hold it firmly in their mouth (can’t be pulled out) until drop it/give is said

https://youtu.be/JO2cxHgIzX0

Drop it/give- dog is expected to drop item at owners feet or into their hand and back up, putting themselves into a sit

Same video as above

Shake- dog extends paw and puts it into the hand of someone else, usually in front of them.

https://youtube.com/shorts/jT_KjxSlpoY?feature=share

Crawl- dog crawls like a bug, wiggling close to the floor

https://youtube.com/shorts/pyOrzeHEw44?feature=share

Touch- similar to shake, dog extends paw and puts it on object in front of them. Alternatively, dog boops something in front of them with their nose

To teach this, place an object in front of them. Put a teat on it and tell them to “leave it”. After 5 seconds, use “paw” command. The second their paw touches the object, reward. Say “good touch” or whatever you have names this command. Do this until your dog is consistent.

Switch objects to make sure it understands.

Now that it understood, we’re going to do the same thing, but fade the leave it command. So one time, you’ll say leave it, then paw. The next time, you’ll simply place the treat down, then wait 5 seconds to use the paw command. Do this until the dog understands without you having to use the command at all.

Now that we’ve faded the leave it cue, do the same with the paw command. The goal is to eventually just say “touch” and the dog to understand, as it’s been given treats and told “touch” after it does this sequence. It may be confusing for the dog, as it’s a chain really, so if needed add a point to the command as well to direct the dog.

This skill is in preparation for service work, which is why it doesn’t serve an obvious purpose, but it’s a neat trick.

Orbit- dog orbits around owners body and sits behind them or between their legs (owner directed)

This one is another prep for service work, but it looks cool to people!

i can't stop making these
