#I love yarn so much

[afewstitchmarkersmissing]

Okay I haven’t posted on here in a while but maybe it’s because I’ve been busy being OBSESSED with this little lad I made!

Like look at his little butt!!

And of course I’ve been making him OUTFITS because otherwise he’s NEKKY!

Anyway he still needs a name so if anyone has suggestions let me know! Pattern is the Tsutsu bear by Cinthia Vallet, the red sweater is part of the pattern too the other things I just freehanded!

I love this art

Here are my fauvorite zoom-ups of this art:

Thisle being so done at Laios in the paintings room. Just. Look at him. He is fucking done. He is about to push him through the painting. He's saying: "No. Stop it right there. Whatever you're thinking."

Izutsumi accidentally scaring a stray cat. She looks so annoyed: "shut the fuck up will wou?"

The shield being there where Laios threw it to distract the living armors. And the Folke couple studiyng something together <3.

Also that armor standing meanacely.

This armor. Female videogames characters reference? We all know that armor has +18 defensive stats.

This guy looking at a black cat. He looks like he wants to pet it. I think he's the most human of his party, and he doesn't really likes them very much.

Shuro buying a flower (preasumibly for Fallin). He so lovely but he stands no chance.

Fallin and Marcille shopping.

The dwarf being so pissed here is funny to me. Dandan is selling stuff like he has 20 in charisma score and this guy is just: well dammit. Also, Chilchuck passing by with a younger Half-foot is sweet, is that half-foot a new member to the guild?

Holm is just so precious to me <3. Also Mickbell standing behind Kuro instead of getting the fuck away and hiding. And Daya being excited about the treasure chest. I love them. They're so silly.

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

If I'm honest, the whole "love in every stitch" saying for fiber artists does not apply to me, like. I'm trying to get this fucking hook into stubborn yarn and I'll be stabbing it like it owed me money. Is that love because I hope not 😭💀

Dabi is sooo stray cat coded to me. you find him hurt and bleeding near your house one day, and maybe you only clean his wounds and feed him whatever you had in the fridge, and he just keeps coming back. keeps finding a reason to return to you—he left his phone charger—he never returned your Tupperware—he needs the recipe for that one dish you made that one time even though he knows it’s just a gateway for you to cook it for him again.

and after a while, you just start inviting him in with no hesitation or need of an excuse. he’s such a stray cat kinda dude, just slinks in whenever he feels like it. knocks things over because he finds your reactions funny. steals your food and your warmth and your side of the bed.

after a while, you two fall into a routine with each other. he comes over and messes with you until he gets bored and leaves again, only to pop up in fewer intervals every time. but, as time goes on, in those moments, he just likes to watch you. keep his hands to himself—sometimes—and admires your daily routine. thinks to himself that this is what normalcy is like, asks himself why does he crave it with you so badly?

Dabi watches you from the corner of your bed as you sit in front of your mirror to dab on your makeup. he’s learned what the hell primer and bronzer is and the quickest way to do eyeliner, and it fascinates him more than it should. he watches you prance out of the bathroom after a shower in just your underwear and a towel on your head. how you lather your skin in these fancy oils and body butters, but finds himself asking if they’re safe on still healing burned skin.

he watches you cook him dinner and clean the living room and enjoy your shitty music and tv shows and cry over your dumb romance books and he just. he just can’t believe he’s fallen into this domesticity with you, this normalcy, as he finds himself not watching anymore but doing—with you, beside you. and he finds that he likes it. just a little.

New sweater appreciation post !

[starry-bi-sky]

ive been hesitating to ask this bc youve been on a roll with the clone^2au (which i am frothing over) but could i poke you for some childhood friend au? bc GOD i wanna see how danny reacts to reuniting w jason or how the rest of the batfam react to learning jason never told danny of his resurrection or wondering if dannys gonna put jokers dead body on a display/offering to jasons grave. i havent been normal about this since i first read it and was wondering. thank you for your writing.

RAAAAHHHH DON'T BE HESITANT I AM JUST AS FERAL OVER MY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AU AS I AM WITH CLONE^2 I AM DELIGHTED BY THIS. Like.,,,, i literally love them,,, so much. I can't listen to The Crane Wives without thinking of them.

(which is my fault - the ao3 fic of them has literally only crane wives lyrics for each chapter title and summary (posted AND the ones not written) so of course im gonna associate with them.)

(if you wanna listen to some of their songs while thinking of cfau here are my recommendations: "Once & for All", "Here I Am", "Hollow Moon" is a Danny AND Jason song to me, this would be my go-to song for an animatic of CFAU if i had the skills for it. "Tongues and Teeth", "Curses" and "take me to war" is a heavy cfau danny song to me, and of course, "the moon will sing")

Like they're BEST friends dude, they're two sides of the same coin and when they were kids they would do this thing where their 'fingers crossed'/'double-crossed' was them hooking their index fingers in the fingers crossed gesture.

and i'm actually currently rewriting my original post into a more fic-like format, and when I'm done I'll post it on here under the cfau tag - with the original post still in tact. But its,,, gonna be so long dude,,,, the original behemoth was just over 9000 words,,, and I've written 3k words already of the new one and we haven't even reached Jason and Danny reuniting at the gala yet,,, i need to get back to that,,,

and then to answer your questions!! god im almost hesitant to answer because i dont wanna spoil the little fic i had planned for it but also like,, its not like im gonna spoil everything, right? and answering the questions isnt the same as writing the scene down so!!

i love danny and jason's reuniting, like i've thought about it SO much and I've thought about it happening after Danny kills the Joker. I know the reveal could have been before that, and it could have been equally just as dramatic but like??? Thematically, doing it after danny kills the joker is SO good. To me at least.

Because like?? Jason's been in somewhat denial about danny's plan to kill the joker for months. ever since danny told him that he wanted to at the gala. And from Jason's pov its not even technically a plan. He sees his best friend for the first time after five years and his best friend still isn't over his death. He hasn't stepped foot in Gotham since his funeral and now suddenly he's here.

And he's still so full of grief over his death that he tells a masked vigilante that he's going to kill the guy that did it, who lives in said masked vigilante's city. And danny's got that look in his eyes that Jason knows so well that means he's being serious. And yet he still doesn't know if he should believe him or not.

And then he does. Danny kills him. And Jason can't fucking believe it. And when he goes and sees Danny, Danny's hands are still covered in blood. And that reunion? God like a fucking firework show. Danny's so fucking angry, and pissed, and hurt, and so goddamn overjoyed that he's alive and here that he sends them both to the ground, and if he doesn't calm down he's gonna take out the power in a five block radius.

there's just so, so much yelling on Danny's end. And then so much crying, first from Danny and then them both. because god, you're alive. you're here. i've missed you so much. i'm never letting you out of my sights again.

and Joker's death! God I don't want to actually say too much about that, but the way I have it set up thematically makes me actually not want danny to take any part of the joker with him as an offering. and he may actually forego that particular ghost etiquette and offer something else as an offering to Jason in substitute to not bringing him the Joker's heart/head/ritualistic body part.

Because you know what the last thing a man whose been spending the last two decades of his life building himself up to be larger than life would want? A death that's unremarkable. :) and that's all i'll put on the matter for now.

and the batfam!! they technically already know that jason hasn't told danny he was resurrected, and plenty of them have mixed feelings on them. largely bruce and dick i think, considering they saw firsthand how close jason and danny were when they were kids.

Dick was honestly surprised at first when he found out that Jason hadn't told Danny he was alive - and on one hand he understands the reasoning for it, and on the other hand he isn't sure if it was such a good idea. Especially after he sees Danny again after he arrives back in Gotham and sees just how badly Jason's death was still affecting him. But it's not like he's going to try and convince Jason to tell him - he can make his own choices, even if Dick has questions about them.

Bruce has much the same thoughts as Dick, so there's not really much to add here other than he might bring it up once or twice to Jason like, vaguely. And then immediately drops it when Jason shuts him down. He might actually somewhat...?? prefer that Jason hasn't told Danny because that raises a lot of questions and could jeopardize their identities. However, again, Jason can make his own choices and there's not much Bruce can do about it other than disapprove from afar.

Tim who knew of Danny from stalking the Wayne family shares similars sentiments of being surprised that Jason didn't tell Danny, but again, yeah, understands the thought process to some extent. Doesn't bring it up ever.

Everyone else who hadn't seen firsthand how close Danny and Jason are don't really have much opinion on it -- Jason didn't tell his best friend he was alive, great, he also didn't tell them either so it's not like its that much of a surprise. It would've been more of a surprise to them if Jason had told Danny before he told Bruce and co. Damian may make a comment or two about Jason not telling Danny, but its not about how he can't believe he didn't tell him or anything like it.

Thinking about stalker x stalkee dynamic again where they're both equally obsessive and possessive 🥺

Stalkee being "ditzy" and "forgetting" to lock their windows and doors before they go to bed; Stalkee being a light sleeper who pretends to stay asleep when their beloved stalker joins them in bed. When the stalker falls asleep, stalkee microchips them with an ease that could only be the product of lots of practice, and the wound is barely there and quick to heal. Stalkee would never want to give their beloved stalker anything less than perfect, and never any discomfort.

After a couple hours, like clockwork, the stalker wakes up and watches the stalkee sleep for a little while (sometimes using their target) before slipping back into the night.

Thinking about the target keeping a cute notebook full of the places their stalker frequents, and when. Laying on their bed with a glittery butterfly pen as they watch their laptop track the stalker in real time, fantasizing about going to these places together, maybe even holding hands. One of the places is a home, and so the stalkee obviously has to make sure their stalker isn't getting.... distracted. So they find who lives there and makes sure it's just a friend. Stalkee is the only target their beloved stalker is allowed to have- the only one their beloved stalker is allowed to obsess over. Sometimes the stalker makes a mistake, decides to get another target. But the stalkee loves the stalker so so so much, so of course instead of getting jealous, they just fix their beloved's... problem. It's what anyone would do for someone they love 💖

And over time the stalker instead just focuses on their one true target, slowly making subtle appearances in their daily life. It takes the stalkee everything they have to not show their excitement when they see their beloved. To not run towards them when they see their stalker across the street. To not hug and kiss them when their stalker pretends to work at the grocery store so they can talk.

The stalkee of course makes sure they always wear the clothes their stalker slowly added to their wardrobe. To have "leftovers" from their favorite restaurants left in the fridge on the nights they visit.

And when the stalker decides to become more active in the stalkee's life, when they become friends, and then significant others... the stalkee just giggles when the stalker talks about how meeting each other was a happy accident, knowing the stalker was thinking about the things they did before they started talking to each other. And responds about how it must've been fate, while thinking about all the things they have done.

Because they were truly meant for each other

COME ONNNNN. my mom took my little backpack with her on her trip and it had my little vampire voodoo doll guy that i got in new orleans on it. and i said "oh i'll take him off!" and she was like "nooo he's all stuck on there" and i went "no it's lanyard string like legitimately it's fine i'll just cut him off" and she insisted it was fine. and she just handed the backpack back to me and his little cape is gone. and i went "oh no his little cape..." and she went "oh did it fall off? we should have tried harder to cut him off..." I TRIED TO OFFER THAT ACTUALLY. BUT HE STAYED IN YOUR CUSTODY AND YOU DID NOT TAKE CARE OF HIM

MRS. PIGGY HAS AN UGLY SWEATER! I REPEAT: MRS. PIGGY HAS AN UGLY SWEATER!

it's baggy in the wrong places and overall Not Very Good! but that's to be expected seeing as i've never crocheted a sweater before, let alone one for a stuffed animal (and i had to kinda bullshit the pattern, seeing as it was made for a more proportional/bigger aminal). i'm proud of it. she looks nice and cozy for the coming winter months

Scenes from yesterday 🥰

30nym challenge Day 7: Reflect on the past week. What went well and what went badly?

Honestly I’ve really enjoyed this week! Nothing went badly. The worst part was the commute to campus for a couple days, to tutor M1 students. What went well: I’ve had so much free time to exercise this week! It feels so good & it’s a privilege to be able to move and be active.

The most fulfilling thing about art (and why I'm so passionate about it as a concept) is just knowing that this is a piece of you entering this world and being born, and it's as imperfect, messy, and human as you are.

Like, this is my first single crochet, and look at it!

It's lumpy and not even whatsoever, but that came out of my hands. It is, essentially, not unlike a toddler who has just learned to walk with uneasy legs. Would you punish a toddler for toddling, for being unsteady and unrefined? Then why is it that we must punish ourselves for being in what is essentially that same state? Create, even if you cannot run with it. You can still walk with it. You can still crawl with it. But, create
