ppl seem to do this thing in fandoms where theyll take a character whos inherently kind and trusting of people and then they make the fanon version of them ignorant or innocent to certain things by default and i dont like it

This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing... if you even care.

Got these from @dp-references

It’s always so weird to me whenever I hear people describe Amity Park as some small town where everyone knows each other. Small enough that it isn’t even on the map.

Like bro, I’d say it’s a medium large city. At the very least, 70 thousand people. Like, what kind of small town gets their own water park, observatory, and several signs boasting about itself. Sure, it’s not the size of Chicago, but it isn’t tiny at all.

I saw pill bugs on here a few weeks ago and really wanted to make my own! The pattern is a bit rough but I hope it works (I tried to get it perfect for like a week before calling it good enough).

Just print out (or copy from a screen) the first page and cut out the pattern pieces. Hopefully the pictures on page two will help but if not I will do my best to answer any questions!

Hope you enjoy and make your own lil isopod friend!

If anyone makes this, I would love to see pictures 💕

A Moose from Alaska

Moose was well hugged, like most of my patients. Made of french terry, her fabric had worn to almost see through in addition to holes:

The plan was to keep her insides the same (no spa) but to recover all of her brown in new fabric (her antlers and feet were both in good shape).

So the search began for French terry in a good color and here is where her stay got more complicated. I thought we had a good option, we ordered it, and it wasn't traditional french terry at all!

So we searched some more and placed another order and this time, it was a much better match that Moose's person approved:

It looks different here, but it was actually very close to her inseam shades, and matched her original texture.

Here she is mid surgery, when I got to her muzzle. It had been repaired by her person many years ago and was a bit... misshapen. The question was, did her person want to keep the unique shape or straighten it out a bit since she was having surgery anyway:

The decision was made to plump it back up. Here are her chubbiness approval pics, fully recovered, but without eyes (she hadn't had any on arrival):

A bit of research showed her original eyes were very similar to her nostrils, so they got added in and she was ready to fly home:

Looks great! said her person, so she flew home to snowy Alaska!

Welcome to the Elliot Manor, where we revisit our favorite cast of robots (and human!) in a birthday celebration turned murder mystery! Surely nothing could go wrong. …Right?

Shout out to my downstairs neighbors who knock on their ceiling when I'm using my sewing machine late in the night. It's my flipping apartment. Sorry I'm keeping y'all up but I've got Christmas quilts to finish and I leave in 6 days

Idk man it’s so easy to get bogged down in all the bullshit online but when my then-6 year old cousin found out I was trans he said “ok” then corrected my grandma when she misgendered me. I was once the third between a gay man and a lesbian. Two lesbians once invited me back to their place when I presented as a man. I met an AMAB nb butch who looked strikingly to outsiders like a cis man and it was one of the more sapphic experiences I’ve had. I nervously wore a boydyke shirt to pride and got 3 different cis-looking femme folks tell me they loved my shirt. I once told a trans group at a protest that any pronouns were fine for me and one person said “wow, I’m impressed and intimidated by people like that. I don’t know that I could be that chill with pronouns.” I once told a GNC friend I wished I could wear a type of “opposite” gender clothing after I had already transitioned and so it would be associated with my AGAB and he said “You could just do it.” I’ve had cishet men fight cops for me before. The first time I had a doctor ask me if my name was different than what was on my forms I had to try not to cry. Last week, a phone call with a doctor’s office where I am generally cis passing asked unprompted if my name listed is what I want to be called. It touched me then too. I told a lesbian friend once I felt like my attraction to men AND women both felt gay. She said “makes sense.” And we moved on. I go by different pronouns in different circles. I’ve had gay women love my facial hair. I’ve had gay men like my tits. It’s all out there, I promise. It can be hard to find it but I promise there is community like you and community who likes you. And it’s more messy and beautiful than tumblr discourse makes it out to be.

Enough people commented on my wrap saying they want to make one that I spent my snow day writing a pattern. If you can reverse engineer this by looking at it, have fun and go forth, but if you'd like some guidance along the way, then please consider purchasing this pattern for less than $5. I only need to sell four in order to cover the cost of setting up an Etsy shop!

I hope I priced it reasonably. This pattern has not been tested by anyone--I wrote it after improvising the poncho. It assumes basic knowledge of quilting (like how to do binding).

A process video... of some sort! I had so much material for this from the 9 months I worked on it, I couldn't not make something with it. 🔹 Finished animation here 🔹 1440p version on YouTube 🔹 Additional notes under the cut

It was drawn frame by frame, in Photoshop. I sculpted and rigged a 3D model for the griffin lady, that's what I used to make an animation mockup with. It's somewhat rotoscoped from that. I used a HDRI as a base for the background, but added the details in 2D. The start sequence was longer at some point, but I ditched half of it. The end sequence on the other hand was shorter than the final version. The falling scene was from a different angle initially, but I didn't like it. I wanted no cuts in this animation, but I had to add one before that scene when I changed it. I got some invaluable feedback from @/Sarspax, including about how the close-up slowmo is wrapped up, so that scene was tweaked too. Photoshop could not export the final as a video (CTD), so I had to put it together again in DaVinci Resolve. But at least this means an 1440p version can now exist. 🔹 Context: The characters are an immortal shapeshifter couple, Griffin (dude) and Phoenix (the griffin lady). They are part of a world I'm developing, called Tetra. She dislikes combat, but he loves it. Challenging fights especially. She wanted to do something nice for him, so here we are - a friendly duel to the "death" 🔹 Character & creature design 🔹 Additional process breakdown 🔹 Action plan animation on a loop 🔹 Ladygriffin 3D model 🔹 Aftermath 🔹 The sketch that started all this

These photos aren’t particularly aesthetic, but I realized this week that I never made a post for my finished wonky stars cape. Everyone should make a wearable quilt, I highly recommend it.

I know not many people will care here but I like making large posts of the environment pieces I make. I think this would be part 4…I think…

Update: it’s part 5

I miss when everyone on my dash listened to Welcome to Night Vale so there’s be a good chance that on any ole day someone would reblog a quote that would grab me by the throat and forcibly ascend me to a higher plane where I understood myself and the universe better and with more kindness but also a little spook
