And the first congratulations will be from the beloved rebels. Soft and light.
The images were created by AI based on illustrations for the co-authored fic “River of Life”. They got a little mixed up. Let’s assume that in the last one, Shears went somewhere undercover, so he wasn’t in uniform, and in the first one, he came to Elfe right after the fight.
We also want to give these heroes a holiday and a good mood. And we started with our favorite commanders, fighters who were equal to the first team and the legendary first chief.
All images were created in an AI postcard service from one of the mobile operators.
you think they used shears to trim the hedges in the labyrinth of Crete . Yes or No.
I’ve never been able to get into Elfe & Shears as a ship but I’ve always enjoyed how him wanting to protect her to repay her for taking him and his gang in parallels Elfe’s want to fight alongside Avalanche for taking her in after she lost her memories.
I also think it’s pretty clear that Elfe had no clue of how Shears felt about her since she has to ask him why he would do such a thing for her. She’s so stubborn in never wanting help and putting her responsibility to Avalanche over everything else (understandable given she’s the boss) that she kinda forgets that there’s people willing to help her and that she doesn’t HAVE to do everything alone. I think they were close as associates and as family, since he’s her second in command, and maybe even had him in mind as one of the people who could take her place if something were to happen to her, and Shears 100% had feelings for her as well but Elfe is so preoccupied with other things that that sort of thing would go right over her head.
To be clear this is just my interpretation of things too so anyone is free to disagree with me LOL.
lots of weirdos on pinterest that say they miss the twins when they were younger. yeah when they were demonic and malnourished and hated women. i like them with more meat on their bones now. their faces are fuller i like it

So, I’ve been wanting to get back into basket weaving. But, the lightweight garden shears I got at the shop fell apart, reminding me to never expect a store-bought thing to work. I decided to go and visit the cram market, or ‘old things market’ where people sell off their old stuff. I’d find a pair of ancient, rusty, metal, indestructible shears.
This is what I got!
I immediately tried them on some grass and they struggled to cut it. But this was according to the plan - I would restore them next.
Most rust-ridden tools are restored by getting submerged in vinegar, but I didn’t wanna waste half a bottle of vinegar, so. I used a little trick where I wet some toilet paper in vinegar, wrapped it around the shears and left them in a plastic container for 24hrs, slightly dipped in vinegar so they can’t dry out.
It worked! I scrubbed it with some wire for all rust to drop off, and coated them in oil to make them click easier. I also realized they have a slight defect - one of the handles pushed out through the plastic. I don’t think it matters, I’m overjoyed that the entire handle is metal so even if the plastic breaks, shears will still work.
Now to test it out! I’m off to the forest to gather some basketry materials.
I don’t know what kind of plant this is, but it has a great basketry vibe so I gathered a bunch! The fiber feels so strong. Shears had zero problems snapping these off. But now for the ultimate test, can I snap this off?
I can! It’s not perfect, the edge is a bit fluffy but, I am pleased, I wouldn’t be able to do this with no shears. I made sure to get one where loads were growing so I don’t impact the forest by taking this away. I have no clue what variety this is, but it’s super bendy and I was able to wrap it in a circle. This is going to be the handle of my future basket. Tune in for the progress of the basket! I still need to gather the base, ribs, and the vine I’ll weave in. Grass will make a tiny basket but this will make a big one.
